Ouch that hurts...
Sometimes no!. Not when I am playing with my husband and "very playfully " I end up getting a box on my nose. My nose throbbed and it pained whenever I sneezed. And the worst part was my dear was absolutely unapolegetic about the whole incident and termed it as an accident.
Why are men so sensitive about cars, gadgets, football, bikes and insensitive about their wives?

Height of insensitivity
Mumbai, known for fashion, hi lifestyle, clubbing, celebrities and above all Bollywood (the Asian Hollywood). But All of us have, in the past week have definitely gone through the gruesome saga of blood and violence in Mumbai.
Now wait a second, I am not here to re-enact the whole episode, rub salt on those people's losses who have lost a precious someone nor am I going to lambast the government for having a laid back attitude (as always) or the security guys who probably goofed up the entire thing. But I am writing this to understand the depth of "human sensitivity erosion".
A very popular producer of bollywood went with state head and his family member to the blast site not for charity or false show of emotion but to see with his own eyes how actual dead bodies look like, how destruction presents itself in its many ways, how gruesome can death be, how blood get spattered all over the place when a bullet enters a human body. This producer; all he can think is how to show more hatred , more violence, make an hit movie and extract money .
Such a waste of human life and all those values that we teach our children.
Have people forgotten humanity or is this a new fantasy park for jerks like him. I means he is so insensitive that he has to personally visit the site and then doesn't have the guts to admit his doing. The state head, upon asking tells the media that since I was coming he also tagged along. Now how ridiculous can this get? Is he trying to fool the country or himself?
Hope to get my hopes fulfilled
Tujhko kya chaahiye zindagi...
(I sincerely hope I knew what Life wanted from me or what I wanted from life)

Don't Worry... Be Happy
Avoid Negativity
Don’t let people who demoralize you, stay in your life. I don’t say throw them off, but maintain a distance; a distance enough to keep their thoughts away from you.
Let them say whatever they want about your present situation, listen to them, evaluate them but take your own decisions after considering the pros and cons
Have patience
Patience is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances (Source: Wikipedia). Everything will be alright. Remember, every dark cloud has its own silver lining.
Improve yourself
Use this time to improve your skills or whatever you are lacking in. Learn something, keep yourself busy. Don’t just lie down thinking about yourself in a negative manner.
Believe in yourself
Always believe in yourself. There will be times when you will be questioned, but don’t worry and remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions and to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.

The Broken Wing
Trying to hold her hold.
A color among colors;
No... I think it was,
An angel in colors.
Lost in her world
Trying to find some nectar
In flowers, bright and new
washed in the morning dew.
she hopped from one to another
but went never too far
I wondered what was wrong!!!
But couldn’t make out at all.
This colorful angel could not fly,
No matter how hard she tried
She could not fly
For she had a broken wing
A beautiful wing,
a wing made up of yellow and orange stripes.
But alas a broken wing
(This is an original piece of thought. These lines are not begged, borrowed or stolen. I took this pic when I was going to my office. I was sitting in my office and typing whatever came to my mind. I would not call this a poem but a thought put into a few lines.)

Why does it rain?
“Once the sky was out, strolling in the gardens of his palace. Suddenly from a distance, he saw the earth. He was stunned to see the earth; so beautiful. It was colorful. It had the widest variety of colors spread across her. It was many shades of blue where the rivers flowed, shades of green where there were lush green gardens; warm shades of brown and many more. Sky fell in love with the earth. He wanted to come down to the earth and stay with her forever.
Gods grew worried. For if the sky was to descend on the ground, where would the birds fly and the sun and the moon and the stars shine?
There would be darkness all over and the earth would not be able to survive. There would be no life!!! Sky was unyielding and he told the Gods that his demand be met. Later he started pressurizing the Gods.
The Gods were terrified and went to their king for further consultation and suggestions. The king was a clever man and he devised a plan to avoid this situation of mass destruction completely. He asked the Gods to let the matter continue for some more time.
So the Gods requested the Sky not to come down on earth. But the Sky was adamant. And now he wanted to meet the king of Gods, at any cost. So the king of the gods said that they would be allowed to meet only once and that too during the time when there is no night and no day. If he did not succeed, he could never try again. The time to try out his dream was pre-dawn and post night. Sky was very happy and immediately agreed to this suggestion. The whole time, he kept waiting for the night to end. And when he was prepared for the biggest moment of his life, one of the gods took the form of a cock and spoke “cock a doodle doo”. The dawn had arrived. Sky’s most awaited dreams were shattered. He was a broken man now.

What You See
If you look for bad, you’ll find bad.
In life, you always find what you look for.
Only thing that matters is - what you choose to see.
If You Think You Can...
If You Think You Can
If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t;
If you want to win but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost;
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in a state of mind.
Life’s battles don’t always go
to the stronger and faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
It the man who thinks he can.

What is Love?
Is it the feeling of being-in-sync with the other being?
Is it the desire for his /her overall well being?
Is it the feeling of responsibility for his/her protection?
Is it the guts to overcome anything and everything which comes in the way of love?
Is it the desire to be with him/her, even when the other person does not want it?

Kumar Sanu Night

30th Oct 2008, was the night for enjoyment and merrymaking. We had amongst us the very famous Kumar Sanu and his troupe. They came to Hyderabad on the request of Kalibari Puja Assosiation along with Raktima and Annie. Kumar Sanu (born Kedarnath Bhattacharya) is a leading playback singer. They started the show around 9ish something at the Bhavan's Cricket ground in Sainikpuri.He started with Saanson ki zaroorat hai jaise amidst loud cheers and a thunderous applause. between songs, he was also telling small incidents which happened with him in the industry. he wore black trousers and a heavily sequinned shirt to go with it. He sang many of his hit numbers from saajan, HAHK, Humraaz, Ashiqui etc. I had fish curry and rice apart from chicken roll and fish pakora.
(have more to say, running out of time so will post later; the remaining part)
