what the hell is wrong with people...

suddenly this individuality aspect of people is simply creeping me out....how the hell did we become this way...i mean i wont blame random people rather i'll do that on meself..i mean how many times have i been on the phone talkin to some random person while i have soo many frenz nearby who need me...and to whom i talk to more on the phone than in person when we finally attain some distance..

yeye i know its a clichéd topic but this whole individuality thing has started freaking me out (or maybe i just hate admitting that age has started creeping up on me)...

anyhow am trying to have a group work done and somehow we cant work together...no nobody hates the other...but its like group work is encroaching upon so much of 'me-time' that its become more of a nuisance to the lot of us rather than the awesome assignment we had thought of it to begin with...

at least i'd speak for myself when i say that what began as a dream project is now just turning out to be a fight for decent grades...what the hell happened to the rosy "Larger Picture"

am sorry i may sound like i am rambling at the moment ..maybe i am ...but this whole darn things gotten me so riled up that i just want to spit it out...

nehow this is my problem... but i am more than sure that you too have in sumway or another dealt with such issues...

i haven't a clue as to what the solution should be but at this very moment i'd do anything for one...

well i guess i should go back to my phone now...was supposed to be calling this old fren of mine i haven't spoken to in months..

toodles...

What would you choose?

Just a couple of minutes back I came across this post about rape victims and how we should mourn for those many cases still not out on the forefront...anyhow after I finished reading this article...right below it there was a question on whether or not we support the death penalty for rapists.

And this got me thinking. Is that enough? Of course not....I've always had it in my mind that a man who attempts such a heinous crime has no right to have such a quick release..

anyhow here was my comment for that post.....

I don't quite understand how we haven't begun the practice of castration...ppl keep talkin about death penalties...is that even a fair justice for a rape victim? i mean a girl looses all meaning in her life..the humiliation she faces the psychological trauma she faces....and a death sentence 2 a man...how convenient am sorry to say but a man capable of such a heinous act has his pride, fear and basically everything in that one object......

I had a chat with an old friend a few days back and she informed me about how somewhere in some state in the US this law has been passed...

so why can't it be practiced world over...a man needs 2 b punished that way so that he too lives in the society in such shame(at least it would be for him) and goes through such a trauma day in and day out ...it would even stop so many others by instilling a fear not even death deters

this has been on my mind for a long time...and i decided to google a bit on this matter...and came across an interesting poll..

http://www.likelike.com/pollcommentary.rhinoceros?poll_id=2115

I'll be honest enough and say that i never quite managed to read every comment but I did notice that though most people supported castration there was this one comment that caught my attention and to which although I don't think I can give a reply directly I would want to retort to...

heres the comment...

what if your son husband or father are wrongfully acused with such a crime and they are castrated.this is a problem with our justice system.also must police try to slve and find easy solutions to a case.this hurts society and all crimes either against women children or men.but yes as a man i'm for castration.only if we can get the guilty and not an inocent person.you wouldn't want to be wrongfully accused and some part of your body removed because of a misstake.

well although most of the comment agrees to the idea...its the beginning that bothered me...I mean if someone I knew had been wrongly accused I don't think I would want them dead either...those who are wrongly accused (and I do agree there are such cases) well any punishment to them is horrid...but for those who truly commit these crimes...it is a necessary step..it will instill a fear in them which no death sentence would ever do..

anyhow I know its a topic that is highly controversial but please understand am not talking about falsely accused people here...am talking about the choice of punishment for this crime...death or castration?

Towards the end of the preface…

Down, down and away I gooooooooooooooo.

Yeh am off for Hyderabad now. Not many days left really. But somehow my little cameo at Macmillan will be there in my mind for the next one year, for if they take me back I’d love to work here again.

Man, am gonna miss all the crazy things you’ve gotta keep in mind, the fact that you’d havta be precise in your grammar ALWAYS! I love kids and to think I could make their fight with books a bit simpler gives me a high, honestly.

It’s like when you know you have a way to stop kids from grumbling every time they try to study for their tests you do kinda wanna make it better for em. At least for the little kiddos who’ve had it real hard these days. I mean think about what we did when we were 10 years old, poor dears! :(

In my case though, I can just do that for English. I’ve always loved English as a subject and even if I can make kids like it 50 percent of how much I loved it I’d consider it a job well done.

Oops! As always I diverted for the reason I started this post. I found a great Chief in Deepa ma’am and I know though she doesn’t quite like me calling her ma’am (no one in the media industry does) I can’t call her Deepa ever! It’s like calling your school teacher by their first name!

And it’s not just her, the people in and around me are awesome. I found a nice newbie like me who of course is a bong :P, whom I can go to just for a chat. Plus in my ol’ place (desk) I was surrounded by really smart folks [bongs again ;) or at least 4 out of 5 :P ]. Whenever I get a chance I slip off to them to complete my jabber, jabber quota of the day.

I really hope things work out here next year, but even if it doesn’t I know I’ve found an industry I might just enjoy working in. So let’s see where life drops me off next, for whenever I plan for a thing….it has an uncanny way of not happening.

But this is one book I really wanna finish with a happy ending :)…

Fingers crossed.

Cheers!

Chocolate Tears

On the course of my work I came across a story based on the title..Although am not too sure if I can show you the version that would be printed I think I can talk about the original one.

Here’s the story..


Camilla Chomp was a very greedy, gluttonous little girl. She hardly had any friends because she thought it was much more fun to spend her time alone, eating cake and pudding. Her parents were worried, so they took all the sweet food in the house and hid it.

So Camilla left the house, desperately looking for something sweet to eat. On she went, until she ended up in a small abandoned hut full of old pots and glasses of all shapes and sizes. Out of all of them, the one that most caught Camilla's attention was a shiny little bottle made of gold-coloured glass. It seemed to be full of chocolate, and Camilla took a quick swig. It was delicious, but she felt a strange tickling sensation, so she read the label. "Glass Tears", it said, and in small print it explained: "Magically converts tears into chocolate."

Wow, was Camilla excited! She ran everywhere looking for someone who was crying, and she came upon a little girl who was weeping disconsolately. Sure enough, her tears were converted into chocolate, and as they ran down her cheeks, to her mouth, they sweetened her lips. That soon stopped her crying. Camilla and the girl spent a fun time together, tasting the delicious tears, and they parted as friends.

Something similar happened with a woman who had dropped some plates, and with an old man who couldn't find his walking stick. The appearance of Camilla and the chocolate tears cheered up those sad faces, helping them smile once again.

Soon Camilla realised that cheering people up was much more valuable even than chocolate. Her mad search for sweet food stopped, and her search became one for sad people who she could try to help.

And from those sweet encounters came a mountain of friends that filled her life with meaning and happiness.


How sweet eh...an overdose??? well it’s just the concept of tears changing into chocolate which got me thinking what if such a thing was true...would that really bring smile on the lips of those hurt..

I don’t know what exactly am driving at but I want to hear what you have to say about this? What you think would happen, should happen if such a thing existed....

On a not-so-fine morning....

What a day!! I definitely must’ve gotten off or rather slept off on the wrong side of the bed. First of all, I never managed to sleep quite well for it was too damn humid and worse. It was one of those days where if you switch you fan on full it gets too darn cold, but if you don’t well then it’s just too hot. By then I thought I might as well count my blessings and look at it as something that for once will get me to the office well before time.

Ah!! I was so innocent.

And so with these happy happy thoughts I got off, and bam, my bro arrives from an early morning flight, and that leads to an interesting equation: Four people and One bathroom. Those who can understand, would empathise with the chaos. Well thus one thing led to another and yet again I was sprinting to make it on time.

So much for a relaxed journey. *SIGH*

But the icing on the cake was my drive to the office. It seemed as if suddenly the whole of Indirapuram/Noida had decided to mark their attendance, like everyone just finished off with their sick leave or something. I faced a jam at 6 different locations in my journey. BEAT THAT!! – Oh…actually I can do that :P, for not only was the traffic against me but so was my autowala, the guy I was ready to pay an extra 20 bucks so that he could get me to the office at a respectable time. But halfway into my journey I find out that the guy hasn’t a clue where to go, lol, talk about male ego :P . And it was obvious that he would never quite ask me.

So how did I figure out his secret? Let’s just say my awesome luck had a hand in that too. Now ya’ll know, so you won’t be surprised to hear that at every red light I faced just that, a RED Light. The only time we had a green light was one which I never quite needed. But apparently my autowala did. And so instead of taking a left, he, seeing a chance, sped of straight.

I have no idea how my face looked by then, but it must’ve been something as I managed to wipe off that stupid grin when the autowala tried to telepathically high5 me. I was sooo freaking mad. I think the only saving grace was that this is India where we can drive the other way even on a one way – sorry people – I aint proud of it if that would be any consolation, but if you think I had a reasonable excuse, well you’ve heard my side of the story. If you don’t think so, well then all I can say is that I can’t help it now, it’s the past, been over and done with.

Anyways, now here I am at my office, shame faced for being almost half an hour late. I haven’t a clue of how the rest of my day would go. The only good thing being that those around me, seeing me scribble all this on a notepad, somehow think I should slow down and enjoy my training a bit and not work so hard. ROFL!!

CHEERS people!!! Hope you have a nice day. :D

Holy shit! Fate might just get me hitched

I am a serious believer in fate or destiny, which isn’t exactly a very good thing cos half the time that gets me lazy, and trust me I don’t need another perfect excuse to convince myself of that. Anyhow this time well fate worked in the right way, or at least I hope it will. If nothing else it at least got me to add another post in my long neglected blog ;). Hmm… well now to the story, as a few of you would know I was off for a wedding this weekend, a wedding of one of my closest buddy I even call it a landmark wedding, cos thanks to this one step of hers she’s caught the attention of not only my own but the rest of my group’s parents. That it was a green signal for future wedding bells is an understatement. Well although that was the story I had intended to write about, this post isn’t for that (believe me I would exactly call fate positive I that case).

So here I was all ready to go to the wedding, waiting for this other friend to pick me up from the Delhi airport, when I get a call from her telling me she would be late. Not exactly happy with the prospect of waiting outside, I decided to stick around inside the terminal. And as it would happen, nature decided to have a little fun and called for me. For those who travel solitary, well they would know that it isn’t exactly easy to leave stuff especially with constant reminders about how unattended luggage would be taken away. But alas I was fighting a losing battle for try as I might I could not delay the inevitable. Now with that in mind I searched for the perfect prey, someone who could wait without being fussy about just how long I would take and someone, well, “respectable” enough, if you know what I mean. I thus zeroed upon this lady sitting a row in front of me, she seemed to have matched the criteria. So I went about my business, in a rush of course, you really can’t trust too much you see it isn’t right. Well I was in luck the luggage was in one piece and the lady was all smiles, thank the lord for that. And here is when the fates decided to make an entrance, as I was walking towards my luggage another woman smiles at me and says “same thing” and points her luggage. Empathizing with her situation I obliged.

Now on a usual course of things, people you meet once at the airport you don’t imagine to meet again. Well let’s just say this time was an exception. Having done with the wedding and all its craziness, I was all set to get back to college. And then I see her again, not only had she travelled back to Hyderabad in the same flight with me for the second time, she even took the same bus from the airport, talk about coincidence! Well that should have been enough, or so I thought. She then of course became my best friend for the journey, we had a talk and it turned out she too wanted to get back to studies and apply for a masters in English (for the benefit of those who don’t know, I too was working before I decided to get back to studies and am now doing the very course of my current best friend’s dreams). So let’s say I was a messiah for her, and helped her know that even though she has been working for the last 5 years, and even though she has never done English Lit. her whole life, all isn’t lost for her. Now for someone who has wanted to go back to studies after such a long time, it isn’t easy. For one thing they have been so accustomed to the corporate world that opting to get back to a student life isn’t an easy transition. And even if they manage that there aren’t many colleges willing to take them in. Fortunately for her, this college of mine has all the answers to her problem and more. And so I went on and on praising my college, bragging about how it would be just the thing for her and how she wouldn’t find a better place to go to (damn EFLU admin folks in case your reading this pls consider this as an application for an amateur PR job, freelance ofcourse ;) !). So thus I managed to catch her attention, and did my good deed of the day.

What was in it for me?? Well apart from managing to write this post, talking to her, I managed to extract an advice I may have had in my mind a long time back but never was quite conscious of. I have been looking for a freelance job for some time now. Having had my share of fun time as a student in the first semester I think it’s time to earn a little pocket money for myself. And although I got a lot of offers unfortunately they were all for a full time job. I mentioned as much to my friend in the bus and that’s when I was shown light, no she did not offer me a job and neither did she give me any numbers of people who could do that, she simply made a statement, “have you thought of approaching your old employers?.” Silly as it may seem to you but I never did so till now. It was so brilliant, so simple. I am not saying that my old employers are waiting with open arms for me to come back to them, but I do know that I have a far better chance going that route than through any jobsite (yes I refuse to use names here in case someone plans to sue me).

So here I wrap up my post, having tagged my ex-boss and the remaining troupe of toi.com, please consider this an informal application. Nilanjana maam, I hope you would not find this too audacious, I simply thought this would be a way to ask you if you think I still have it in me to write. And this goes for the others also. As I said in the topic I “may” get hitched. Well this may not be the most traditional way, and I may just not get a job, but I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Cheers!!

"L-M-N-O-P"

talk of male dominance hmph!!!
lol...ok i know this may have conveyed little or nuthing to you...this isnt a write up...just a small something a hostel buddy of mine came up with..

read these alphabets again..lyk u do when you sing the "A-B-C" song


LMNOP...



LMNOP...


can u hear urself forming a word there...??


if u managed it....u'll know what iv been trying 2 convey...its a small thing...but it quite caught my fancy...and urs??

Oh look thee superior being I am naught but the dumb animal…

Was just reading up this little essay..where the mention of the word dumb came up…and as usual my mind refused to behave and instead of sticking around finishing the essay…I sat back and thought how the hell did we ever cum up with the word…or rather does the word dumb truly means dumb in the colloquial sense?

Hmm..let’s take it this ways..when I say dumb what’s the first thing that strikes your mind???...Am arrogantly presuming that you’d think it as someone with lesser intellectual capability than you own self…but think again…isn’t dumb only a way of calling someone mute…or rather a person incapable of speech..because mute as far as my knowledge goes means absolute silence…which well isn’t true for a verbally challenged man/woman who can, in any case, create sounds…of agony of mirth of sorrow…they would be different and yet there is some sound...

Anyways now that we know that those who are verbally challenged are in essence dumb not mute I’d like to talk of another aspect with regards to this word….dumb…

Well the very same word I guess implies to animals also, right? Hmm…I dunno, doesn’t that sorta make the whole of humanity an arrogant bunch… oh I know we have already established that in many ways well just add this one to the list too…think about it, I mean what gives us the right to call an animal dumb simply because it doesn’t seem to speak our language…many a times the term “dumb animal” even crops up in our efforts to be the good guys…I mean who hasn’t in the right spirit said “oh these poor dumb animals…they would’ve fought back if only they could speak”…lol…cumon guys do only humans have the whole sole authority on speech…I guess not…I mean so how can we call animals dumb…simply on the basis that they cannot speak “human language” well in that case we’d be dumb too just cos we don’t understand theirs…

Lolzz..ok I know there isn’t any “point” in this whole gibberish…it was just a thought which stuck around for as long as I wrote this piece down … it was just a thought I verbalized would love to hear what you all have to say on this one…

Cheers!!!

Taare zameen par...............did it consider everything??

hmm undoubtedly one of the finest movies hitting a topic tht has been always close to my heart...... ie kids and the way their uniqueness gets trampled in this world whr a wild rat chase goes on n on n on........

if u have tym..pls read thru this lil post i made ages bak.....

What do moms want?? Scholars in diapers!!

anywys in essence this was all about how kids are forced to do things to finally "fit in" the BIG BAD world........

and i guess the way Aamir Khan has potrayed this aspect was nothing less than commendable......

chck out namesakes aka sam's write up for the same

And then there were stars...

hmm i guess now i should cum 2 the point i wanna make..............(pssst pls ignore my jabberings as its 5am n i am in a desperate need of sleep :P

hmm ok now to the point......

we have all seen the aspect of how kids if they get the ryt kind of teacher can do brilliantly ... ok so we have writtn n thot abt the first n the last part of the sentence............ie abt the child........but how abt changing the subject and luking at the word "teacher"...........

now wat was the best part of the movie.......the essence of it.of course it was ishaan's (darsheel's) brilliance....but luk closely....actually this fct stands out a mile.... the fact that HAD THERE BEEN NO AAMIR KHAN or NIKHUMBH as u knw him in the movie............ISHAAN"S BRILLIANCE WUD NOT HAVE BEEN NOTICED......

So wats the big deal abt tht.........i mean isnt tht kinda obvious........well yeh only i think tht was THE thing Aamir forgot to show....forgot 2 point out........ the fact tht such teachers as Nikumbh are sadly scarce.........

the question tht natuarally arises post this statement is WHY??........ i mean cumon its not tht India or Indians lack the brilliance.............hmm or mayb we cud easily say tht hey its the whole bloody educational system tht we follow in this country that pardon the lingo but....it totally sUcKzzz lyk big tym.............

well yeh u can say tht..........but then i rather wanna luk into an aspect i think the people...ie the common man cud work upon..........n tht is ................be a teacher urself...........
yeh yeh......i mean tht totally........... but knw wat the prob arises here is??......its abt not being able to be just tht.a gud teacher..

cosin our society.....even though ideally we idolize this proffesion (read Guru govind dou khade, kake lagav paay Balihari guru apne, jin govind diyo bataye)

But be honest to urself........how many of u would actually take it up as a first priority??,,...wud u lyk to be called as a 4std or primary school teacher...............n by this i am addressing bth guys n girls......

i dnt think so.....at least with those arnd me.........iv noticed tht if u take up teaching......it usually becums "the last resort" i mean if u arnt able to manage getting into any other "cool" proffession u end up doin a BEd...... now temme wen was the last tym you thot highly of sum classmate of urs who is doing a BEd,...i mean usually its a set thot process tht she/he tuk it cos he is good for nuthing in the other fields.....ryt??

well tht is the root cause of all the other issues tht arise frm our "horrible education system"
its our mindset...the mentality of people that needs to be changed...

i mean if we hand our kids (the lil shining stars) over to those ppl...who tuk teaching as the "last resort" wat wud happn to the growth tht the child has a right to??.......what would happn to the true talent tht each kid has hidden within him/her......its finally the teacher that has to make the child luv and realise his individuality.......

and the worse thing is...tht is the foundation education tht they r getting....

if our foundations are weak...then can u just imagine wat wud happn to all the tall buildings(in this case successful individuals)

i mean think about it....there mightv been only about a million children whose true talents and uniqueness might have been squashed...not unlyk darsheel post Aamir.....

ok so in essence i mean tht even though aamir has shown us the problem.its the path tht hasnt been shown...wat has been shown is bad teachers........wat hasnt been shown is the fact tht these teachers are those people who have chosen teachign as a career as the last resort..............which leads to further failures........maybe not in the rat race..........but failures as individuals..........
i yet again havnt a clue if i got my point across...but i hope i did cos yet again i just wanna repeat this topic is sumthing soo close to my heart..........

oh yeh n last but not the least.........if sum1 is actually very passionate abt teaching he/she usually chooses to be a proffessor in a collg rather than teach a bunch of kids in school....

i just hope sum1 says that i am worng here....cos changing pplz mentality is the toughest challenge ever posed to society

Merry Christmas: Tis the season to be jolly...

HO!! HO!! HO!!


MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!


Its holiday season yet again… another year almost gone by… yuletide spirit resounding across the globe. Gosh tis the season to be jolly… falalalalalala. It’s that time of year when we go reminiscing about the year gone by and wonder what’s the next 12 month kept in store for us.

Things have been achieved, India’s made its mark in many areas at the global platform, new talents have come into the forum and comedies have rocked the film industry (lolzz…sry I just hadta mention that).

Although I haven’t thought much in terms of Christmas celebrations, I seriously love the feel one gets when a carol is playing somewhere in the background… or those little red caps bobbing, or maybe those folks dressed up in Santa suits spreading a smile round town.

But you really wanna know the best thing about X-mas?? It’s the sudden urge that one gets to give. I don’t know if you go through it but during the holiday season somehow for some reason I get this sudden urge to give, give and give. (yeh yeh ideally I should be saying that this giving feel should happen 24*7 but just to be honest… it doesn’t come as frequently as it should… and hey am NOT proud of that… just that its an honest confession). Anyways the point is, here we aint talking about a particular culture. Here tis all about the spirit of being one.

I just hope that the reason that we celebrate these festivals actually sinks into us… and that’s to be one unified entity. Yeps I know it sounds idealistic… but then don’t we all aim to be just that??

Hmm for those who’ve read whatever gibberish iv written before would’ve been expecting this twist in the article… its no new to them I suppose … and for those who’ve actually gone through it for the first time, and are totally dazed… just a warning of sorts… I kinda like jumping around topics…….. Not done intentionally though believe me :D

Alright alright I just thought of writing this cause I didn’t see any blog on the same… wonder why???


But you know something just another random thought… although we do have religional probs within the country somehow the fact that so many cultures reside together within this nation gives us the opportunity to love and celebrate the festivals together. Just imagine not celebrating Christmas if Christians weren’t a part of India, or maybe Diwali if Hindu’s ceased to exist in this land. And how about Eid and Lohri? Well the list is endless and we just freak out on each holiday… f not in terms of celebrations… just think of how many offs we get from schools n offices.. ;) hahahaha…that oughta make you glad if for nothing else :P


Newyz…

I think its enuf for the day!!!



HAVE A GR8 HOLIDAY SEASON FOLKZ…………………………………!!!!

The death of innocence.

"Heard of that kid abroad. This boy killed his fellow students just for the heck of it. What a shame!” was a comment I heard two days back. Yeah isn't it kind of true. Such shootout cases happen to kids abroad, not our precious little children who have been brought up in India.

But yesterday's shootout dispelled all myths. Azad Yadav along with his friend Vikas shot their classmate Abhishek in school. The pain of Abhishek's parents cannot be understood how so ever much we try. Their anger or shock cannot be put into words. They lost a son and on an issue where such an outcome seemed outrageous. I mean who thought that a school fight, a common sight seen across generations, could lead to a cold-blooded murder.

But right now I want to look into a totally different aspect to the whole incident. There was an article that had come out a few days back on how video games and TV have started showing violent and sexual content thereby harming the mental growth of the youth today. Such games lead kids to believe that killing is an easy way to end misery and that it's ok to use violence to get one heard.

Seeing murder and sex on a daily basis has made them a 'no-big-deal' thing these days.

But then we can't just blame the generation alone it's the whole society now that needs to take the blame. Today kids are being subjected to a lot of pressure, be it peer pressure or pressure to out-perform everyone in every field be it education, sports or other extra-curricular activities. What they need is someone who can help them out without making them feel intimidated or disgusted (read molly-cuddling teachers or over-zealous 'councillors').

These folks need help but it needs to be given very subtly. Psychiatry or Psychology may sound as great professional subjects but not many in India like to visit psychiatrists/psychologists. The discomfort stems from the fact that people believe that these doctors are for the mentally ill or to be more colloquial 'pagal' people. What they don't realise that the guys are just regular doctors who need to be visited ideally on a daily basics. Like we have family docs in India, in the US and UK most families have their own psychologist. It's a must these days.

We should stop being so arrogant as to think that the people in our society don't need it and that those people out of India suffer such mental problems solely because they have a casual lifestyle unlike ours. We still love to live in that dream world where we live perfect lives of dutiful sons, daughters, fathers, mothers etc. Unfortunately the reality is far different. We are in as much need of these doctors as anyone else across the globe. Once we accept that a lot of such problems would cease immediately.

Now back to the shootout incident.

What was Azad thinking when he was about to kill Abhishek? Why didn't anyone send all the three kids off to counselling as soon as that physical fight occurred? Had they not seen the basic fact that a physical fight meant that things had gone out of hands of the school authorities and that merely calming them at that moment or handing out punishments would not suffice?

A lot has changed in a child's psyche from what it used to be in yester years. Today children have far more responsibilities and choices in life. They can choose from a million pathways thereby they either may attain worldwide glory or might end up as Azad did... in jail.

I dunno what I have inferred from all that. Just that I strongly feel that we need to realise that such incidence won't be stopped unless we accept the faults in our society. Yes this is a great nation but it too is made up of human beings and like I said earlier in today's life we need counselling to deal with the pace and stress that comes as an excess baggage.

Happy Dussehra!!

Happy Dussehra folks!!

Well here is yet another festival that glorifies what we Indians are so proud of… our past. The golden history of our forefathers leaves most of us stumped till now. This festival stands out solely on the fact that we celebrate the victory of good over evil. Quite a cliché statement don’t you think? Well so be it... and yet it is true... I won’t deny that many-a-times things just don’t go the right way and we feel that this entire goody-goody factor is nothing more than a way to transport us into a fantasy world… an escape route from the harsh reality of the world. Maybe that is true too, and yet if we really look through things every ‘bad occurrence’ usually has a reason behind it. Something that ultimately is beneficial for us on the whole.

Too optimistic? Hmm… not quite actually, try doing this: write down all the negative things/incidents that have happened in your life… the one you may even be going through at the present moment. Once that’s done just ponder through and think if there was any new friend you made at that point or someone you thought was a friend but proved otherwise. Or you realized that you actually had a hidden talent within you which came out during that adversary. And if finally you find that nothing came through from it, there was one definite positive factor… and that was your inner strength the fact that you actually survived the ordeal. Did you know that you actually had so much of strength within you? That many a strong people would’ve actually committed suicide rather than face what you had faced. Well just feel proud of that.

Ok I know this may not have been relevant to the main reason for writing this article… so many a pardon for that. Lolz! Anyways

Happy Dussehra yet again to all of you and I hope that you would remember the fact that good always does win over evil in the end. It might take years, just as it did for Lord Ram but you finally do win.

Oh and like always…

I fell in love today!!!!!

Yep it happened finally…I fell in love in the office today…it was soooooooooooo awesome..... that feeling of wanting to hug someone…the adrenaline rush…….. gosh its hard to describe this ….

The affair went on all morning…..it started almost the moment I stepped in for work…… nothing could’ve felt more blissful…more perfect……………….

Wow …. Now that was sumthing wasn’t it…I mean I just re-read what I wrote n realized id gone nuts…oh soo totally…………………………lolzz..

But really I did fall in love today….just maybe the right question to ask me would be with what… and not with whom… :D

I dunno if you read about this lady who had wanted to sell herself and her son to save the life of her husband…..

Chck it out here

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/2423097.cms

it was soo shocking.. but honestly speaking I thought not many would care.. I aint saying they would’ve ignored it totally…but I was sure tht the commnts which would cum wud mostly be tht of criticizing the govt…n the usual stuff…… but commnts came..and they came in hoards. I just don’t know how to describe what I went thru when I was clearing those comments… the love and the compassion shown by Indians from world over was overwhelming…the help didn’t stop ….the flow went on n on n on…. It felt that the whole nation had united to fight for a cause… and with every opinion I cleared I fell further in love with India.. I haven’t stopped smiling ever since… there was this feeling that I can’t seem to put into words…

I mean every single person was there to contribute… and from all the parts of the world.. it was amazing…. There were people who blindly wanted to send amounts most who said that they would do everything under their power to help out… the want to help was soo strong that almost all commentd the second time wondering why the trust they all routed for wasnt still set up… well to clear tht of… we had to get everyones msg across b4 the higher authorites workd upon it…..and they are working on it…in fact I think its already startd.. newyz tht besides the point…

You havta chck the comments sent by the people to realize what I mean….

There was this particular guy who was supposed to cum bak 2 india in nov but coz of this he plans 2 cum bak on the 5th…he said that he so wanted togo 2 the lady herselso that he cud help her out even aftr her husband recovers as there wud b a million more things to deal with…he gave his cuz no..and many contact details of himself..

And why just him….there were many who did jut the same…….each contributing in his/her on way……each dying to help out

I know I am blabbering…but I just want to spit it out…… gosh I am falling in love with my country and it feels so great.. this emotion that rarely comes besides the usual 15th aug or 26th jan….it gives a sense of security…a need to just hug sumthing……

Really I just feel great at the momnt…………….and all I can say is..


JAI HIND!!!!
