<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<img height="223" src="https://media1.giphy.com/media/A6YO96sBmr1te/200_s.gif" width="400" /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">We all have this life in which we are if truth be
told, busy doing many things be it working, household chores, family time or
sleeping; but together with all these, we all have to spend some time in
WAITING.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">For what?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Of course, we all wait for our dreams to come true, we
wait for all our wishes to be fulfilled, we wait for our kids and ourselves to
grow more mature, we wait for getting that leisure time that we can spend
without any obligations and so much more….<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">But then on second thought, I felt we all linger for
many more things in our day to day life and then after thinking a bit over it I
have jotted down these instances which I feel we all have come across some or
other day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">So here are the things which I feel, we desperately
wait for:</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span>
<b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><i><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">For the salary</span></i></b><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;"> - at the end of the month on the salary day, when you
have only few bucks left in your account is the time when you actually wait for
the salary to be credited which anyways just stays for a while in your account
and is spent right from the next moment but still that wait makes you restless;
you keep checking your messages even though you know that it has not come;</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> <i style="font-weight: bold;">For the signal to turn green - </i></span><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> if we are stuck in traffic jam especially in
Bangalore we all wait and in fact stare the signal although it shows the timer
still we keep on staring it to turn green so that we can move on;</span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><i style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></i></span></span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">For the food to be served</i></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;"> - when we are in a
restaurant and order the food, it surely takes 10-15 minutes but still we
restlessly wait for it;</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><i><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></i></b><b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><i><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">For the lift door to open</span></i></b><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;"> – we reach the workplace
and if we are running late we first wait for the lift to come and then after
getting inside it we wait to reach our desired floor; and suppose if we are
stuck with someone whom we really don’t like, the wait in the lift seems to be
endless. We have to wait for some time but that time seems to be passing so
slow;</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><b><i><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">For our turn in queue in supermarkets</span></i></b><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> – when we are in
supermarkets, no matter how long we take time to choose, analyze and then
decide what all we want, for billing when we wait in queue we just wait for our
turn and don’t bother about anything else and if suddenly card machine does not
work we become so irritated;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">

money from ATM and we have given all options and then the sound comes that
amount is getting processed; we all have our eyes stuck to the cash dispenser
for the fresh notes to be dispensed;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">

purchase, gave your details and then finally paid the money and then you are
asked to wait and not do anything and that is when you wait eagerly so that the
transaction completes successfully and your order is placed;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<b><i><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> For the bus at the bus stop</span></i></b><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> – for people like me who
rely on public transport, we can see from a distance that it is not the desired
bus but still in some hope we keep staring the road in wait for the bus that
will take us to our destination;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><b><i><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">For status updates from your loved ones</span></i></b><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> – applicable for teenagers
especially, when you wait for any status update from your loved one and keep
checking the social networking sites;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">

freaks, who after any update be it upload of any photo or any other status,
keep checking their facebook to see the number of likes and comments;<o:p></o:p></span></div>

feel, would request all readers out there to add any points further which you
feel that you have been desperately waiting for….<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">Kids – the power house of liveliness and epitome of
innocence; each and every moment they teach us something. It is great to see
them grow in front of our eyes; daily a step is taken by them for improvement- </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">be it is their sense of how much interactive
they are or language they speak or taste they love. An interesting part of
their growth is watching them talk and their vocabulary development.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The journey from their first word spoken to the
complete communication is utter delight; the moment they say Maa and then papa,
then slowly calling everyone by the relation they have with them and then
slowly all verbs for what they want to do or eat or drink or any particular toy
they want or anything. Whatever they say in their accent is pure bliss and
music to the ears; they have their own tone and pronunciation. Few words that
they speak are quite the exact of what we say, few words sound quite familiar which
at least you can make out what it is and few words that they say are totally
different having absolutely no relation or logic behind it, it is actually
discovered by them from nowhere. These words are so funny and you don’t get
them until they explicitly describe for what they want. These words sound so
cute that I thought I will just jot them down so that I don’t forget them in
future. So friends, here is my son’s explanation of few words:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Tomato – Mamato<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Potato – Papato<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Buffalo – Babato<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Octopus – Aupoka<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Water – Oppo<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Onion – Peena<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Balloon – Bujin<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Oats – Auaaww<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Good night – Jhinga<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Buttermilk – Batenin<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Injection - Ingush<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Fire – Nam nam and etc etc…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I just love when my son speaks these words; he is so
innocent but so confident at the same time that what he is saying is definitely
the correct word to describe them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">Hey all mommies out there, please share your kid’s
vocabulary; I am sure you all too know such cutely expressed words spoken by
your kids, let us all enjoy that tickle and keep a note in blog and thus in memory
and get pleasure from the laughter later in future as well. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Till then, happy motherhood </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; line-height: 115%;">J</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<img src="http://www.radioiloveit.com/wp-content/uploads/young-woman-listening-radio-hearing-music-02.png" height="242" width="400" /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I don’t drive so I have the privilege to look here and
there while in bus or on roads commuting to office and while on my way back
home. Out of the many things that we do while travelling (if not driving) is
listening to radio. I always see people with their earphones and mobile and
they will be listening to radio, while walking, sitting idle in bus, while
crossing the road; they will be listening to radio most of the time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">And not just this, those who drive, generally in most
of the cases will also switch on the radio and enjoy the music; at home when
doing some boring stuff or any household chore, we play the radio and enjoy it
till we are done with our work. So, basically radio even though itself a non
living thing to be precise but it brings life in our daily lives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I remember when I was a kid, utility of radio used to
be different; it was used for music just for certain particular hours and
people could afford it easily and used it for listening to news and commentary.
It has proved to be best buddy after books and it removed the boredom from many
lives. And gradually radio has evolved so much and now there are so many
different channels or frequencies to make a choice from and so many radio
jockeys who are really talented, although these RJs are not right in front of
us but even being somewhere else, they are so much interactive that it seems
that they are right in front and chatting with us. And not just songs, radios
are also so much informative and interesting; they give traffic updates, they
help us making someone <i>bakra</i> by
special requests, they organize different contests and gift so many goodies,
they organize interviews not just with movie and television celebs but with
real life heroes and other responsible citizens and thus help in sharing so
many informative things, they share jokes, they do sports commentary, and so
much more. They play different kinds of music at different times in order to
suit and meet everyone's choice. And end of the day, you don’t have the guilt of
being couch potato because while listening to radio, you do some other task as
well unlike watching idiot box when you literally sit and munch on something
and just watch tv.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In short, radio reduces the complexities and tensions
of life ( at least for few minutes when you hear your favourite song or listening to something that really interests you) and bring
back the energy and spark to move on. So, I feel that radio has definitely a
very special place in our heart because it brings a splash of music, a dash of
laughter, a squeeze of romance, a pinch of awareness, a bit of information and
all this with a touch of love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">At the end I would like to thank with all my heart to
all the radio frequencies and the lovely RJs, <o:p></o:p></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">RJs because you guys make our day </span><span style="font-family: "wingdings"; line-height: 115%;">J</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Note: Totally understand that you love radio but at least
when you are driving two wheeler or crossing road, don’t put on the headphone;

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><img height="300" src="http://www.lorensworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/68f188819adc86abbc3ca1237e7b06d3.jpg" width="400" /></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Now I type this title “HOW TO STAY POSITIVE?” </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">in my best buddy’s GOOGLE </span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">page and I got some 2,74,00,000 answers -</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">wooooo ; so I guess apart from me there are
many else who can tell how to stay positive or the other way round there are
many who are in search of answers for this question.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I read a few of those and they were too technical –
identify a possible cause; keep a journal; analyze the cause AND I clicked the
back button. Like the way time flies, I wanted some sure shot and quick
techniques. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When I feel low, I desperately sense the urge to transform
my mood and that too by doing something that will refresh me instantly; I guess
no one at that point of time when they really feel too low, takes the technical
way to stay positive. Those techniques straightway jump to the to-do list for
the future for further analysis.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But exactly, if we think on it for a while; we all
know answers for both the categories – technical and practical but applying the
right technique at right time is the root cause of this whole mess.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So, what exactly we can do to stay positive:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Eat something which you really love like Ice cream – it’s the
ultimate comfort food unless you are watching your weight. Or pani-puri or some
kebab; you of course have a whole world to make a choice from;</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: 18.4px;">2. </span></span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Listen to your favorite songs; could be the loud one
listening to which you feel and imagine that you are taking revenge from the
villain of your life; or some soft pace song which can give you peace of mind
and heart; </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">3.<span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Dance: you could be a pathetic dancer but how does it matter,
you dance for yourself and not for anyone else. Play the tune and dance however
you want as if no one is watching; nothing else but watching yourself dance
like a ………… will give you a great laugh; (this blank you can fill up depending
on your own credibility :-) </span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">4.<span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Watch Tom and Jerry of course in you tube; its readily
available after all; </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">5.<span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Just go out and shop; you definitely will be having some item
in the back of your mind that you have been planning from long to buy but did
not get a chance yet; </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">6.<span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Treat yourself by spending some time all alone doing what you
want: read a book, give your feet some
rest by taking a foot bath, head massage etc. You don’t have to go to a
parlour, you can do all this by yourself; </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">7</span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">.<span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Remember your childhood; see your mark sheets, albums;
remembering those good old days will take you to a different world at least for
a few minutes and you will realize that life had not been so bad always.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 108.75pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 108.75pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There are many ways to keep
yourself in high spirits, it’s just that you have to know which one you want to
pick. Always we have to remember one thing that the life we all live is much better
than those of many else. So there is no point in cribbing about your problems,
thinking too much about the issues and concerns and thus unnecessarily
complicating the life. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 108.75pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 108.75pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Just chill, everything is fine or if it is not fine, it
will be fine. Good or bad, time will pass and one has to move on; you can
neither hold on the good things or bad things.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 108.75pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 108.75pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Thoda hass lo, muskura lo, jee lo…. Zindagi itni bhi buri
nahi .</span></i><span style="line-height: 115%;"> :-) :-) :-)</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="212" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/41/Flag_of_India.svg/1350px-Flag_of_India.svg.png" width="320" /></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 115%;">JNU
and JU – the two universities where WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING is the question
I guess every sensible Indian is having in his or her mind. From the starting
of the week, I think this has been the topic of discussion in Newshour debate
by Arnab Goswami where every time in the group of panelists there are those who
I guess for purely publicity need are supporting the students who are
protesting in favour of Afzal and traitors like him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Few
students like some virus pop ups start saying , in fact shouting to be precise
that afzal guru was a martyr; have they gone mad? They shout anything they
want, “cheen k lenge azaadi” and all that; if you really don’t feel like to
stay in this country, go away. Who is asking you to stay here? And after all
these protests you say that its freedom of speech; wow… as well described in
that video (link in the end) freedom of speech means freedom to criticize that is if you don’t like something, you have
all rights to share your opinion about it; freedom of speech does not give you
any authority to abuse or threaten anyone. Who are you, you think that you will
break the nation into pieces when in reality you don’t have the guts to speak
up standing alone and not shouting amidst a crowd of equally illiterate people?
Get your facts and figures; do your homework properly before taking such a
disastrous step. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">All
these sequence of events: students useless protests; lawyers taking the law in
their own hands and beating up students; and now issues for the proposal of
raising the tricolor in all central universities. I really feel pity for those
who simply shout without actually understanding the sole purpose of such
proposals. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">For
God’s sake don’t mix tricolor with extreme nationalism……….. I mean Tricolour is the flag of our nation and not
some personal property of any political party or religion. Tricolour represents
our INDIA and all INDIANS; why is Tricolour being tagged with being extreme
nationalism? I don’t think that there is anything wrong with such proposal of
flying the tricolor in all central universities; I think this should have been
done many years ago, but better late than never, I feel it’s a great move
because such an action will remind all of us that India is our country and we
all are Indians, it will help us realize and differentiate between the traitors
and martyrs. I felt so sad when General Bakshi became emotional saying that he
might be standing alone in this battle but he supports to fly high the tricolor
but then Arnab Goswami supported him saying that he is not alone and that we
all are with him. And then it was really great to see Smriti Irani calling the
newshour herself and telling that how much we, the citizens of India are grateful
to General Bakshi and other soldiers of the country like him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">At
the end, I just want to say that Guys, you represent the youth of this country;
you are an integral part in building the nation but this attitude is surely not
going to gain you anything in life apart from few photos in front page of
newspaper. Do remember this is the generation of social media; You are always
being watched for both good and bad reasons; all moves are being scanned;
nothing is hidden. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Be the genuine and sensible lover of your motherland.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Debates going around in all channels for Rohith’s
suicide where panelists are discussing or rather putting the blame on each
other and trying to encash votes making this a need based issue as required by
them. A team of people just trying to throw the ball in each other’s court; the
methodology that has been an integral part of our society where only
discussions happen and decisions are seldom taken, the root cause of every
single problem; one party trying to
prove themselves right and all others wrong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Student commits suicide unable to bear the despair and
what is happening after that …. Only discussions; we all know who is the
culprit but no action has been taken yet. Day by day people are trying to
create a virtual reality and then using it as a weapon and hence complicating
the issue further. Such incidents have happened in past and will continue to
happen in future; one state where one person belonging to one caste has been
harassed because of the one’s who belong to power.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What the hell is going on, I really feel like to say “Grow
up, be genuine, be sensible.” Poor guy suffered injustice and ended his life,
do something now; culprits should be punished. For how many more days and years
will castes be given more importance than humanity. Why anything should be
based on caste wise favoritism? Student should entirely be judged based on his academics
profile, on merit; and then if he needs financial support, he should be given;
irrespective of whether he is Brahmin or SC or ST or OBC or whatever. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">We cannot close the eyes to the fact that in India caste
stands a lot of importance; in every damn form we all need to mention which
caste we belong to; why such discrimination? These age old norms definitely
need amendment. Why caste should be given any such importance? Be it any field;
in schools or colleges or offices or anything else; judgment should be entirely
based on capability and quality and not because which caste or place you belong
to. And it’s not just me, I think this is what the young India wants.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">India is our country and let us all just be Indians.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<img height="293" src="http://a1128.g.akamai.net/7/1128/497/0001/origin-d5.scene7.com/is/image/ProvideCommerce/bright-flowers110518" width="400" /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lost
in the chaos of office, home, family sometimes I feel restless when I desperately
feel the need to spend some time alone, me with myself. But are we alone
anytime? Physically may be yes but emotionally, of course never because always
we go through some emotional turmoil that keeps us worried or at least concerned
for some or other thing.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then
with my son beside me taking his good night sleep, I suddenly felt that there
was a day when even I was so small, so carefree, so confident which in turn
suddenly makes me realize that life is so organized (of course by God and not
by us the humans). God has beautifully created the life of humans where we get
to play each and every role, go through all kinds of emotions and live all
stages of life. In one life, we live so many lives: we take birth and live as
an infant who is completely dependent on others, unable to speak but having
complete faith on the one who gave birth to us; and gradually year by year we
turn independent from being dependent for each and every aspect and we are
young, fully energetic and confident to fight the world, passionate and
fearless, we take our own decisions; then comes a stage when we get married and
get into the world of responsibility, we take decisions for upcoming
generations, we plan for the uncertain future; and then again year by year we
turn old and turn fully dependent slowly from being independent. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There
was a day when I knew nothing and my parents taught me how to express myself,
how to talk, how to stand on my feet, how to face the challenges of life and
now are the days when I know things that they don’t know, I know better way of
doing many things, I am dependable for them; what is very obvious for me is
something extraordinary for them. And I know that there will be a day when my
son will be much smarter than me and feel the same that I am feeling today.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">My parents
taught me those dial-up connections and landline phone usage and today I teach
them how to use smart phones, </span><span style="line-height: 18.4px;">WiFi</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">, </span><span style="line-height: 18.4px;">whats app</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> and then suddenly my mom gets
scared because some message pops up or some image does not open and she gives
me a call panic stricken and I say chill mom, it’s just an app and it won’t
blast, don’t worry I am there.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Truly,
everyone is dependent in this inter-dependent world and every age, every stage
has its own flavor, charm, grace and beauty and we are all so lucky to live a
life full of different flavors.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">And here I am, back after a span of, I guess few months; so
many blogs to write but not finding time at all because all time goes for my
sweetheart.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">No matter how much frustrated, stressed or depressed you are,
once you see your kid all your pains vanish and where has it vanished you do
not know nor you care about it; once you are with them you are all energized up
to roam around them. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">You shout, you scream, you play all stupid games, you make
faces and what not; with your kid, you too become a kid. You become an improved
person because your speed increases manifold; speed at which you eat, do any
work and walk increases many times because end of the day you don’t wish to
miss even a minute being apart from them. Sometimes you wish to have ten hands
or more so that you can finish all the extra jobs fast and then spend the rest
of the time with your kid. You no more shop for yourself, you shop for your baby
and if some bandwidth is still left you shop for others.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Making your kid eat is a big task (bigger than those
deadlines at office) and once you and they are done with it, you feel full even
if you are hungry. You see them grow day by day, moment by moment but still
when you think how they looked, how they behaved months before, you end up
feeling that you don’t remember those exactly which in turn makes you doubtful
that whether you have spent time with them or not. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Day by day they turn smart and naughty and when they pretend
to be very innocent although we know that they are not, makes you feel that “OK
baby, I know its you” but even you pretend that you did not understand just to
make your kid feel that they are smarter than you; all this game of hide and
seek is the most lovable thing to cherish.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The moment my son comes running to me as soon as I reach home
can seldom be explained. I remember once he was out with his grandfather for
quite long time and someone gave him a chocolate; as he came home, he did not
see me around and even though he was small, hardly spoke anything but still he
called, “MAA” and then I went to him and he showed me his chocolate; I was surprised at his this gesture. Although,
these are simple things but still these are special because it’s the mother and
kid bonding. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">He was born; he used to sleep all the time, then he turned
around, then he crawled, then he walked and now he runs around everywhere,
throws things, pours oil can on bed, locks his granny in room, jumps around,
imitates everyone around him - I
remember the day he was born with his eyes wandering here and there and I keep
wondering whether its him only.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">So many feelings, so many emotions, so many expressions but still
the love will never change it will always be constant. Kid makes the mother
feel so special because end of the day, he needs her and nothing else and this
dependability makes motherhood exceptional.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So here I
am, all frustrated, irritated, stressed, depressed and… why? Because today I spent
five hours of my precious day in traffic doing nothing while commuting to
office and then way back home. And its not just me but hundreds of other people
too who go through this irritation not only today but almost every day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We are all
pissed off; we get ready for office and leave from home like phulka and after
travelling for hours in traffic, we finally reach like roasted papad. Then
apart from office work we keep discussing
about roads, potholes, government etc; bang our heads and finally go back home
via this traffic all over again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Traffic is
becoming worse day by day but then what is the solution to this problem. By just
blaming the government and discussing among ourselves solve the problem? Why don’t
we do something, isn’t this our city, our country? Are not we responsible for
anything? We all are well aware of the fact and have observed it all the time
that traffic is because of more number of vehicles; roads are not good but let’s
not talk about what is not in our hands; let us try to find out solution for
the problems for which we can do something.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Who does not
want luxury? We all want to travel in our private vehicle, switching on the AC
and radio and riding alone in each car; one person, one car. Why don’t we use
public transport when it is readily available? If we are working in normal
shifts, then we can easily travel in bus. At least for few days in a week if we
use public transport traffic will reduce for sure. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Let us encourage public transport or pooling concept and take one step forward in reducing traffic and stay happy :-). Until and
unless we put our city, our country before our own comfort in our priority
list, we cannot develop as a country; we can grow individually but not as a
society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="border-bottom: solid windowtext 1.0pt; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Blogging has become a dream now, still somehow slowly carrying
out the tasks that are imminent from lonnnnn…..g time. Now everything that I
want to do has to be appropriately planned; unlike before when I used to plan
and carry out in a shot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What occupies me all the time? What occupies my mind
and heart?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I think it’s my shona; <i>shona –</i> the favourite pen name of most of the bong mothers for
their kids.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Once the kid enters your life, the life revolves
around them; the priority list changes, the thing that had the maximum priority
before seems of no importance anymore; the to-do list piles up day by day because
someone really special enters your life. Your kid occupies not just your heart
and mind but also your desktop background and your mobile wallpaper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Sometimes I feel that babies are angels in true sense.
They really don’t care whether you make them wear costly or cheap dress; they
are never bothered whether we use branded or local things for them; they don’t
mind for what is their name and title; what they really do care about is how
much you love them and how much time you spend with them. With whatever name
you call them, if you call them by love, they will surely respond. They understand
the language of love and that is all they need. They are not bothered of
anything; they do whatever they feel like to do – sing, dance, smile, cry,
play; they are so simple and innocent; they are so pure. For them god’s idol or
mug or any electronic gadget or any toy - all have the same importance. When
they have it, they enjoy it like a valued possession and then leave it and move
on. They don’t take much stress for anything; if something is not there then
let it be; if they are angry then they cry for few seconds and then they will
get distracted for something else. They seem tough to handle but they are so
easy going and when we are angry on them, they shower their innocent smile and
all the rage gets carried away. I wish we all could be like them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Once I remember
my hubby asked me, "Whether our son knows that I am his father and you are his
mother?" and I replied saying that he knows that we are special for him although
he does not know the name of this relationship; he cares for our actions and
not our names. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Everything about a baby is so cute whether it’s their
arrogance or antagonism or love. Howmuchever you adore your baby, it seems you
have not adored them at all; howmuchever time you spend with your baby, you
want still more time to spend with them; you want to see them, feel them each
fraction of a second; you wish to record each and every single moment that you
spend with them; you desire to capture their very first of everything – their first
word, their first smile, their first step and so many other things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">But of course with all these experiences you also go through
an emotional turmoil, you become vulnerable to bad thoughts and get scared that
nothing bad should ever happen to my kid. No matter how big a kid grows mother
can really seldom stop her from such bad thoughts and kids can never stop
themselves from emotional demanding from their mother.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">To be continued………………….<o:p></o:p></span></div>

IT'S MY CHOICE<div>
<br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<img height="207" src="http://st1.bgr.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/mychoice.jpg" width="400" /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Deepika
Padukone’s video is the present hot topic that is doing rounds across social media
whether it’s facebook, twitter, youtube…. people are sharing their views for it
apparently some <i>for</i> it and some <i>against</i> it. It had such an impact that within hours of the
release of that video, another video was posted for the male version of their
choice. Of course, no apprehensions, it’s perceptibly one’s own choice of what
they want to do keeping a note of not harming or hurting anyone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What
I am unable to understand is why few men are so insecure if a woman has her own
choice? I saw many comments in facebook that were saying that Deepika is
misguiding the women by telling them the importance of one’s own choice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What
I felt by watching that video is that we, as a woman should not be judged by
the surname we put or by the bindi or bangles or mangalsutra we wear or by the
figure we carry or by the marital status we have or by the dress we wear. If I am married but don’t put sindoor on my
forehead doesn’t mean that I don’t value my relation with my husband; if I wear
jeans that does not imply that I don’t have family values; if I come home late that does not mean that I
don’t love my family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">We
can’t deny the fact that there exist crimes against women, whether it is
molestation or eve-teasing or rape or domestic violence and all are unfortunately
committed by men. We cannot generalize men or women on any basis but we can
just come forward together to change the society as a whole that has mutual
respect for each other. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">We
should not be judgmental on basis of assumptions; rather we should esteem
the other’s point of view. After all, we must remember that we are all human
beings before being a male or a female and we have our life to live so each of
us as an individual can have his or her own choice to lead the life the way we
want.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12pt;">There comes a time in all our lives when </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12pt;">the situations are not in our
hands and not in our control then arises the question of the existence of the one
whom we know as GOD.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Has anyone seen him physically in
front of their own eyes? No. We have only heard about his existence and felt
him. We have seen him in photos and in serials as royally dressed and larger
than life figures having enormous powers to do almost anything. But how he
really is, no one knows; from generations he is imagined like us the humans but
is that the truth?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">He has created this world and the
basic elements necessary for survival; we worship him in temple, mosque and
church; we celebrate the festivals remembering him and worshipping him but all
these are like unquestionable known facts and we are supposed to believe on
these. Is that all? Is our relation with him this much only? We all worship God
but does this relation exist as many to one only, I guess not. Don’t we have a
one to one relation with him?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Each of us shares the same love and
care with God as we share with the person whom we love the most in this world.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;">

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am not God but he exists in me and
every other human being; he is the conscience, he is the soul, he is my inner
voice, he knows me, he owns me, he exists in my happiness, he exists in my
love, he exists in my anger, he is there in my prayers, he is there in my
tears, I argue with him, I force him, I beg from him, I fight with him; he is
always there with me. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We can never be angry on him because
we can never be angry on ourselves because he is the one who has created everything
and we know that we are nothing; when we are helpless; we just leave the whole
thing on him and surrender ourselves completely and just say, “it is you who
has given us these problems, you only will find the solutions.” When we are
lost, we beg from him with bowed head and folded hands because we know that it
is only he who can bring back the boat of life to the shore and we do believe
in the chanting of mantras and prayers because we know that miracles can happen
if he wants because we know that he is the supreme power and he can do anything
even if it is impossible. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

proves his existence; it is our faith that has kept him in our heart and mind
forever. And he listens to us otherwise the rituals and customs would not have
existed even after so much involvement of science in day to day life.</span></span></div>

<img height="256" src="http://www.pretzellogic.org/wp-content/upload/headaches-cartoon.jpg" width="320" /><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Back to blogging after a long time; was busy with
festivals, celebrations and sudden family emergencies. Days and months passed
and now the year is going to end in just few more days. New Year will start
with new hopes, aspirations, plans, commitments, friends, foes and so many
other new things. But with these new- the uncertain ones, we will have some old
things as well which will carry forward from the previous year. Carry forward things
will include the best, the good, the not so good and the ugly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Good and best things could be the presence of a happy
family, close friends, well paid job, possession of assets and property or
anything else. Have we ever thought what this not so good and ugly actually is?
Each of us has our own set of tribulations in life and the presence of these
unwanted tribulations is the thing that makes our life not so pretty. And most of the time these problems are
nothing but human beings who create problems in our life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">These problematic people could be someone at your
workplace you really can’t work with; or some family member you can’t adjust
with; or someone who works for you but does not understand your perspective; or
someone who broke the promise and hurt you; basically it is someone whose presence
irritates you the most; it is someone you don’t like or hate from the bottom of
your heart; it is someone whom as soon as you see, you feel like
grrrrrrrrrrr……..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Presence of such people is disturbing but it is not in
our hands. We can’t just simply shift + delete them from our lives. But what
creates more trouble, the presence of such people in our lives or our inability
to tackle such people? I feel, it is the latter that is the root cause than the
former. After all, we can change what is in our control but not that what is not;
it depends on us how much we can get affected or I should say it depends on us
how much we can allow them to affect us; it depends on us how we mould
ourselves, whether to be as is expected by them or to be as the one of our own
choice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Putting the blame on others and escaping or
surrendering to the situation is always the easy way but definitely not the
right way. </span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">Just surrendering and giving up without trying will not make them realize that they are wrong. </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Taking the charge and speaking up for what is right is the correct
way and should be the only way. Until and unless we ourselves take the charge
and fight for our rights, nothing can change in our life. Transitioning of the
criticism to constructive or destructive is entirely our preference. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">But the presence of such people paves the way for letting
you know your inner strength, it shows you the real you, the real power and
courage you possess. It brings out the positive in you and inspires you. So, at the end what it requires is the attitude and the
spirit to fight back and move on.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;">For worst scenario which is totally out of control, saridon and disprin is anyways there :-)</span></div>

<img height="443" src="http://www.durga-puja.org/gifs/dp3.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">When we talk about bongs, we can seldom miss talking
about maacher-jhol or rosogolla or taant-sarees or Durga Puja.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Eventhough you don’t meet your friends and relatives
for the rest of the year; Durga Puja being the main festival of bengalis, makes
sure that all bongs are together during this time. The preparation of the grand event begins months
before the festival but from the day of Mahalaya – the celebration begins.
Mahalaya is the day of invocation or invitation to the mother goddess to
descend on earth. It is also the day of remembrance where people offer “tarpan”
in memory of their ancestors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">And then begins Navratri - the worship of goddess Durga for ten days. From
sixth day of Navratri, starts the actual carnival and it continues till Dussera
– the day when Maa Durga killed the demon Mahishasur that is the victory of
good over the evil. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The stage is set with idols of Durga, Laxmi,
Saraswati, Karthik and Ganesh and Lord Shiva; pandits perform puja all day
long; huge pandals are set with crowd of hundreds of people who come for
performing puja and then have the famous <i>khichudi</i>
bhog; the evenings turn musical where singers sing the rabindra sangeet and
other folk songs; various food stalls are set to satisfy the hunger pangs of
people who get tired of talking and meeting the people; everyone is dressed in
new clothes especially women clad in
traditional sarees of dhakai jamdani, baluchari, kathastitch, toshor, bomkai…;
in short one and all is seen enjoying the festival with never ending zeal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">There is delight of arrival of goddess on earth and gloom
when she leaves the earth after immersion. This signifies that each of us goes
through a cycle that starts with birth and ends with death; each of us has a
different part to play when we are on earth; one who comes has to go and that
is the law of nature and that has to be followed by everyone. And then with new
hopes and new wishes, we wait for another year for the arrival of goddess and
then another festive season begins.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<img height="171" src="http://durga-puja.funmunch.com/durgapuja.gif" width="200" /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">May
Goddess Durga shower her blessings on all of you!!! May all your wishes come
true!!!</span> Wish you
all SHUBHO MAHALAYA <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">After the death sentence announcement of the four
accused of the Delhi rape case, 13 September 2013 has definitely become a big
day for celebration. After a wait of almost nine months, the genuine verdict
has come. But till those people are actually hanged, the punishment won’t be complete.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I, like many other people hope that if the accused
move to high court then even the High court should respect and continue with
the decision of death sentence and not drag the case further for years. Supreme
Court and President should also reject the mercy plea. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I just wonder why and how anyone could fight from the
accused side. I heard that the lawyer of the accused was telling that if any
more rape happens in Delhi, then he will fight for his candidates in High
Court. I could not understand his logic. Is this rape a joke for him that he
expects everyone not to react and stay casual that rape cases are absolutely
normal so none of the accused should be punished? This type of incident is
being considered as “rarest of rare” cases; seems like he is out of his mind.
Infact that juvenile, who was basically the main culprit, should also be
hanged. If not now, then probably after two years when he will be of 18.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">If the court remains rigid for their decision and the
accused are hanged, then probably it will create a stir and develop fear among
those who feel that they can do anything they want and escape without receiving
punishment. People should realize that rape is not a mistake to be forgotten
but a sin that deserves a severe punishment. If court continues to announce
death sentence then it would be a major initiative and a step forward for the
development of society as a whole. The fear of death probably would stop people
from committing such crimes. After all, a rapist is a rapist and not hindu or
muslim or juvenile or adult or young or old and he should be hanged till death.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">RIP Nirbhaya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 275.25pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">My friend’s mom had come for
Madhushravani puja. I, with my other friends went to her house for the last day
puja. That day you are supposed to eat as much sweet dishes as you can.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 275.25pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 275.25pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">We all did the puja and then
it was time for some prashad. We all sat and aunty started serving and then the
serving went on and on…..Kheer, ladoos, fruits, rasgullas, dry fruits, barfis
and so on. Too much of sweets, we were all tired of eating. And then while leaving, aunty said, “Have some puri sabji?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 275.25pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 275.25pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">We were not in a position to
drink even water but moms are moms. They are the experts of emotional blackmail
when it comes to feeding the kids. Even after denying for so many times at last we did not have any option left than to agree. Deal was set to have one puri.
We were having but then suddenly we don’t know from where she came and kept two
more puris in each of our plates. We finished eating finally. We were so full
that we were unable to walk. Although it was evening but we were so full that
we all skipped our dinner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 275.25pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 275.25pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">This situation happens many
a times when our moms serve us food. They always feel that we are not having
food properly. It is always the favourite dialogue of all the moms when they
see their kid after long time, “You have become so thin.” And when the kid is
married then guy’s mother will feel that daughter in law is not taking proper
care of their son and girl’s mother will feel that in-laws and husband are not
taking care of her daughter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 275.25pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">This is mom’s love. For each of us, our mom
is the world’s best cook. They have the perfect recipe of everything, blending
the love together with other ingredients and serving the best food. The love
with which they serve you the food, no one else can do. Whenever the food comes to you via your mother, it becomes special. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">The love they shower is incomparable and precious.</span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Watch television for 10 minutes but effectively you
will be watching advertisements for around 7 minutes. And among all these ads
what interests me more, is the tagline for cosmetic products, like: face creams
---Lakme - youth infinity; Ponds – white beauty or age miracle; Olay - total
effects or regenerist; Neutrogena – fine fairness or deep clean; And the
ingredients for preparing them like different soaps --- contain shea butter,
tea tree oil, jojoba oil, aloevera, eucalyptus oil, honey, lemon; face washes
available with all varieties of fruit flavours and etc etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Each product of each brand is unique but confusing.
From toothpastes having salt to shampoo for silky, shiny, damage repair,
dandruff free, for oily, dry, straight, curly; from hair colours to face creams;
from mosturiser to lip guards having strawberry/cherry/guava/apple; from dish
cleaning agent having power of 100 lemons to hand wash that cleans your hand in
10 second and not 60 seconds. Everything has something different to offer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Isn’t all this confusing? Even if I am very clear
about my skin and hair type, if I go to the market to shop for some cosmetic, I
am definitely going to be confused while buying after seeing so many products;
I won’t be able to decide that which one will actually suit me. My mom or grand
mom never faced this type of dilemma because neither they had this knowledge
nor they had the choice but their skin or better if I say health, was much
better than us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">People now are so much conscious about their looks and
this huge availability of products is slowly transforming this consciousness to
craziness. Of course, it is better to be concerned for your health but
definitely not worth to be paranoid. You will stuff yourself with oily food and
then you get a pimple on your face and then you will expect that clean and
clear facewash will remove your pimple at one wash. Is it really possible? Just
sensibly think on it. Any golden glow facial scrub will not make you fair and make
you glow like gold. Don’t be confused with all these pearl white, golden glow
and age miracles. It is always better to consume fruits than running behind
these fruity extract products.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">If you are in your 30’s then none of the creams will
make you younger. Please remember that youth is for certain time and not
infinite. There is nothing wrong in getting old. Every age has it’s own charm
and grace. You are what you are, so don’t pretend to be one you are not.
Everything is the result of the balance, if maintained you can feel good and
therefore look good. If balance does not exist then nothing can be good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I like one ad where Arjun Rampal says that, “These
shade cards are for walls of the house and not for your skin”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">We the people spend a lot of time travelling to and
fro between office or college and home. While travelling, we cross many areas,
the so called “stops”. No doubt each stop has a different name but what else I
have noticed in most of these, is that each stop has a Bakery right at the main
bus stop. For example:</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">These bakeries are indispensable for us. As the city
has grown, bakeries too have grown. From serving just bakery items like: “dilpasand”,
“fruit cakes” , “veg-puffs” , “cream rolls” etc
these bakeries now sell tea , sweets , biscuits , chips , sandwiches ,
birthday-cakes , ice-creams , other dry snacks and lot more. Crowd is always
there. Rushing for somewhere, just stop for a while, pick some snack and move
on. If these bakeries would not have existed, many would have starved. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">But these bakeries are not just meager eating joints
but they actually serve the purpose of landmarks. We identify the stops by
identifying the bakeries. You ask anyone about any specific location, be it a
bank or school or office or bus stop; you might be told that <b>“Go in <exact directions>, you will
find “Location X”, it is near “Y Bakery”. </b>Sometimes people might ask you “Where
is this bakery?” in order to enquire about some place, because people are very
sure that exact location of these bakeries would surely guide them to the place
they need to visit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Our lives are surrounded by EMIs, credit card bills,
project deadlines, calls, buses, duties and etc. For a better tomorrow, we
forget the today. Sometimes in order to prove ourselves and to be good, we
forget to be happy. We complicate our life which can be lead simply. We desire
for so many things: some necessity, some leisure; but it takes time and
patience for everything. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I went to mall, roamed around and then sat in the open
area, enjoying the coffee and listening to the live band performing there. I
just felt, isn’t this moment priceless? Lovely weather, live music, a cup of
hot coffee, gleaming lights all around; isn’t this experience wonderful?
Problems will be there, tensions will be there; who doesn’t have problems and
tensions in their life. But can’t I enjoy this very moment forgetting
everything. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">View of rising sun is as beautiful from the terrace of
your house as it is from Darjeeling mountains. Moon among the clouds looks as
charming from the road as it looks from Taj Mahal. A heavy rain after sunny
weather is also very pleasant and so is the bright sunny weather after days of
rain. A cup of hot tea and a plate full of pakoras gives immense pleasure when
you come home after getting completely drenched in rains. A long drive listening
to your favourite music and enjoying meal at your favourite restaurant is also
special. There are so many moments that are equally enjoyable but we just
simply ignore them whatever be the reason or excuse. When the yesterday’s
dreams become today’s reality, instead of enjoying the reality, we again dream
for the future. Why don’t we live our life in these special moments? Be happy,
for these instances are too the reasons to be happy; if there are no reasons
also, be happy. If you look for big reasons to be happy, your whole life will
be spent on searching for reasons to be happy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Let the life remain a surprise for you, let it unfold
its pages one by one and depict the morsels of mystery.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Lost in my thoughts I was walking on my way to office
in morning. I reached the bus stop and stood there waiting for my next bus. Traffic
jams were at it’s peak, people were rushing for office, one by one roadside
shops were opening – in between all this, suddenly my eyes stopped at a sight.
I guess it is the everyday sight for all of us, nothing extraordinary. A lady
was preparing “gajras” – flower garlands to be tied on hair. I stood near to
that lady and started observing her. There is always a special technique for
doing everything. I am not aware of the technique in which she was tying those
gajras but she was doing it with great speed, accuracy and dedication and all
these qualities really impressed me.</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Many times I have noticed the “Hot chips” shop where I
have observed the person who will be grating the vegetables, put them into hot
boiling oil and then fry them. He too does it with great speed and perfection.
I have seen the cooks of small restaurants as the masters of cooking and
packing foods. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">We all go to hypermarts for grocery shopping. During
the time period from 29<sup>th </sup>of one month to 3<sup>rd</sup> of next
month, all these marts will be over crowded with so many people standing in
queue waiting for their turns. We just pay for our things and leave; but
imagine about the person who actually does the billing. They have to read the
code and price for each and every item, create the bill, take the money which
is most of the time given by cards, swipe them, get the receipt signed or give the
proper change, and then repeat the same process for all other customers. We
shout at them, if they take more time. But for a second, just think about them,
they have to maintain proper records of everything sold, they have to be really
alert for if they miss anything, their pay will get reduced. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;">We see the delivery boys of restaurants and eating
joints, driving not those high-end bikes but simple bikes to reach the
different areas and deliver the food on time. We can take driving classes from
them. The newspaper person who distributes the newspaper early morning to every
house, he throws the paper at a perfect single shot at the doorstep; the
mineral water guy who carries around 6-10 mineral water cans in his luna and
goes from house to house and distributes them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span>
<br />
All these people cannot be considered anything less
than experts. We acknowledge many people who excel in their respective fields
but there exists people who may not be famous but are nothing less than
experts, they are the day to day roadside experts. They also do their jobs with full focus
and honesty.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">No job can be considered less important. Forget about
growth and development; just for the survival, so many things should exist. Every
single task by every single person is equally important for the existence of
society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I just remember the quote from Robin Sharma’s book
“The Leader who had no title”. I don’t remember the exact words but I remember
the message. It was something like this: <i>"Whatever you do, do it in such a way
as if you are the one who can do that particular job in the best possible way
in the whole world. If you think this way and put all your effort then you are
definitely going to succeed." </i> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the weirdest of queries to the best of queries - Google has answers to all. You
should never underestimate the search you are doing because Google answers to
the precision. The more specific you are, the more accurate your results will
be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Google starts working as soon as you start typing each
letter and continues its prediction. Google is not just a search engine; the
term has actually transitioned itself into a verb. Have a query, Google it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">It is better to say that “Google is infinity, Google
is God”. God might not answer your questions but Google will definitely have
lots of replies for you. It will never leave you unanswered. That’s the
significance of Google.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><i>Bangalore is a place where buses are the backbone of public
transportation. And it is really one of the best ones among the transportation services
available in different states. But many a times I have felt that the attitude
of some of the conductors/drivers is very disgusting for non-south Indians. Yes
“non-south Indian”, any non-south Indian is tagged as “north Indian”. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><i>Let me describe you in detail about the incident:<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><i>My friend with her hubby boarded a volvo bus from the bus-stop
next to her house. They both got into the bus from the second door which is
basically meant for the guys to enter. There were not many people getting from
their stop so they got inside together from second door. There was no place to
sit, so they stood in the area which has three chairs. They could not move to the
standing area which is in between the two sides of seats because already people
were standing there (people who travel by these buses will understand). Conductor
comes and asks my friend’s hubby to move back; he says that he can’t because
there is no place. In reply for this, the conductor pushes him behind. Then my
friend’s hubby asks the conductor not to touch, which I think is fair enough.
Now what the conductor does?<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><i><br /></i></span></div>

which are ridiculous and offensive for example: “MCBC” again and again. (I hope
people can decrypt this for I don’t want my blog to be offensive) My friend got
very angry and she told the conductor to control his tongue. Conductor totally
ignores what she tells and continues abusing, says something like…“khane ke
liye aa jaate hai”and asks them to get down from the bus. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><i>“khaane k liye aa jaate hai”…means that we the non-south Indians
come to Bangalore to eat. Mr. Conductor, you are briefly right. But please
remember that we come here to eat not because we don’t have enough in our
natives that we can’t survive; we come here for job because unfortunately we
are software engineers and Bangalore is the IT hub. If there were IT companies
in our respective states or if we were not software professionals - then
probably we would not have come here leaving our family and relatives in our
respective natives. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

free? We are working and earning and spending our money. You are not doing
anything for us for free. Then who the hell are you to ask me to get down from the
bus? These buses are meant for public transport and are government property and
not your personal property. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><i>If any passenger asks anything in hindi, they will stare you
and prefer not to reply. Why? You watch hindi movies, you know hindi abusive words
but you can’t reply to a genuine question asked in hindi. I am settled here
from years, I work here, I know that it will be helpful if I know the local
language but I can’t speak it so is it a criminal offence for which I should be
publicly harassed and insulted in front of so many people who were nothing else
but the silent spectators. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

the people based on their caste and region and remember that we are all Indians

the situation may not be this severe but it happens with many of us. Why is it
so? Why this step attitude towards us? I am not generalizing all the conductors
but there are few who have this attitude towards us. It is my humble request to
you all that please don’t behave like this with us, we get hurt. We are not
taking anything from you and we don’t expect anything too but atleast we don’t
deserve such attitude.</i></span></div>

Don't project me as a racist. But like all of you, I am also a human being. I also get hurt by someone's harsh words.

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Does this heading sound weird?
Even I used to feel the same. But still this phrase “DOMESTIC VIOLENCE” is
applicable to the society, atleast for the Indian society which till date, follows
a male dominating culture. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We are basically confused ladies.
We don’t know what the terms: domestic violence or dowry or verbal abuse
actually refers. We consider all these not to be a part of civilized society
and look down to those who have gone through these; we talk about these and
very proudly say that we will never tolerate such things; we feel that these
are a part of so called “chawls” or of those people who are below poverty line.
We feel that such things cannot happen to us even if is happening. But is this
the fact? Have none of the modern day “independent” women experienced this
trauma. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We might be tortured at home but
we hide our tears behind eyeliners and kajal; we hide our cries behind the
sweet smile of lips, lips having lipstick on it so that people see the lipstick
colour but not recognize the fake smile; we hide the bruises by covering them
behind sophisticated clothes and accessories. In short we hide the truth from
society and from our own self. If we go through this kind of torture, we feel
shame; we don’t want others to know about this. My question is why? Just because
we feel that others will form a bad impression for us but honestly by doing
this we are creating an impression of ourselves that what happened to us is
somehow our mistake, we are ourselves taking the blame for a mistake which we
have not done. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I read an article in internet and
came to this conclusion of 5 points:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family: Wingdings; mso-fareast-font-family: Wingdings;">ü<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><!--[endif]-->There
is no better or worse of domestic violence. Remember, attempt to murder is also
a crime. Don’t think that physical assault has to be tolerated until you are murdered.
A slap or somebody trying to slap is equivalent.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family: Wingdings; mso-fareast-font-family: Wingdings;">ü<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><!--[endif]-->If
something can happen once, it can happen twice or thrice as well. Don’t keep
forgiving and forgetting.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family: Wingdings; mso-fareast-font-family: Wingdings;">ü<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><!--[endif]-->No
torture, in demand for you to become passive, is acceptable. Making financially
dependent, unable to meet and talk to friends and family, cannot decide
anything for yourself… are all a kind of torture. If someone takes away your
hands and then says that they won’t torture you in return of this…. Is all
crap. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family: Wingdings; mso-fareast-font-family: Wingdings;">ü<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><!--[endif]-->Staying
alive is better than staying married.</div>

the torture just because it is not physical, it is only verbal… is not done.
Whatever it is, verbally abusing and insulting is not acceptable. No one has
any rights to harm you physically, mentally or emotionally. Verbal abuses hurt
you emotionally and destroy your inner self. It takes away your self
confidence. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Domestic violence has nothing to
do with social status; it is based upon an individual’s mindset. This kind of
torture can happen to anyone from a maid to a software engineer to wife of a
CEO. You have to draw a line between what is considered torture and what is
normal, you have to set a limit for your patience; you have to take a stand and
not backseat for yourself.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At the end of the day, just
remember </div>

<br />
I started reading JAYA - an illustrated retelling of the Mahabharata. I am really loving it. But once i finish reading it, I will forget about most of the things. Stories I might remember but names of the characters, I might not. So I thought I will prepare a questionnaire as and when I will read. I will prepare questions with their answers and keep this blog updated.<br />
<br />
This blog is based entirely on what the author of this book Devdutt Pattanaik has written. I have just created questions from what I am reading and I hope, everyone who goes through it will find it helpful.<br />
<br />
