Life is all about colors. We can so relate to everyday moods and happenings around you with the colors.
At times when there is poignant sadness, life is all black and dry.
When its filled with joy, its all fresh and yellow.
When you step up to make a new beginning, its blue and beautiful,
When you are happy and content about all your achievements in life, its a white and wonderful.
And When you seek to the almighty for help and happiness, he makes his presence felt like a rainbow.
Here is an old pic of my mom n dad's marriage.
I wonder, how it will look when filled with colors. The beautiful garlands, the colorful sarees, the showering flowers as blessings from people, the color of the ornaments, the color of camera flashes, the colorful people. My Mom n Dad have been my inspiration my entire life. Whenever im faced with problems in life, i look up to them, one smile on their face is enough inspiration for me.
Every joy, every sadness, they've been behind me to support me, physically and mentally.
And the fact is this picture is still beautiful without colors, because they are the color of my life !!!!
Adding a bit of color to your life is always beautiful. Here is how you can do that.

There are many other movies which makes u scratch ur cranium, but these movies stand out. Enjoy.
Just watched the movie 'Shaitan' by Bejoy Nambiar. As much as the direction, story line and acting pleases the audience, the same dint stop me realize the antics of today's youth. Well the movie was really well made, its shown the reality that happens in the posh streets and colleges of mumbai, delhi and even bangalore. The movie portrayed the gory sight of youngsters, indulging with drugs and alcohol, leading to misguided perceptions and in the end terminating with untoward accidents.
But where are we heading, the alcohol, the cigarretes, drugs, etc. are just misguiding the youth these days. Just few days back i was just walking past a famous mumbai college, i wouldn't name the college. As i walked past the college gate, past the narrow roads, that were adjacent to the college, saw some girls in the age group of 15-17 years, smoking cigarettes. Well obviously its none of my business, that the girls are smoking, but 90% of the youth take up to smoking, drinking and drugs, just to mingle in the crowd, just to show that they are cool, social and ready to take challenges. Research shows 80-85% of addictions start at 15-18 years of age. If parents act right at this age, to curb these tendencies, they can actually protect their children from long term addiction. Problem is we don't realize it at that age, but when we grow older, we start seeing the effects of it.
Parents are also at fault for the behavior of their children. In the name of love and care, parents spoil the children with accepting all the child's wishes even though things are not rational. Spending hours together on computer, mobile, social networking and spending less time with parents, this is what happening at every home nowadays. The term Rich spoilt kids is not uncommon these days.
We keep saying the future of the country is with the youth of india, well but its actually in the hands of individuals, who have matured out of their youth and ready to lead a responsible life and the country.
Keep me in ur shade,
Protect me from the ever cursing fade
Sparkling from ur ever shining blade
The Winds blowing fast
The Sun shining bright
The Rains hitting the sensitive strata
The Pain from the ghastly surroundings
U are der to save, der to face
All the Shadows of the devlish mind
U are der to evade.
Yesterday, i was travelling in the mumbai streets for some work. In a single day, i could see the act and effect of child labour on small school going children. First i was just waiting in the bus stop, saw couple of young 7- 8 year old girls carrying a big vessel of water on their head, in hot afternoon sun. With the weight of the vessel almost 25% of body weight of the child. Worse was they were walking barefoot and had to cross to the other side of the 3 lane link road. All that in heavy traffic. It was a real pity to see such kids doing cheap labour, instead they should be studying in schools.
The same day, i saw a young 10 year old boy buying gutkha( chewed tobacco) from a local pan shop. The pan shop owner without bothering just sold it to the fella after taking money. Some passerby caught hold of that boy, and made him spit all of it, and when the shop owner was asked bout selling gutkha to children. He said, " tereko kya karneka, usne paise diya maine becha" ( u mind ur own business, he paid money i sold it to him) . This is the awareness and responsibility of people around us.
I am too busy to care, but want to do something. Jaago Re and BlogAdda.com are helping me do my bit for the society. Please check it out.
The problem is bigger than child labour, the core problem is poverty and illiteracy. I just happened to talk to some poor families, most of them complain that they don't have money, so they are forced to send their kids for meager labour. Many of them understand that kids should be studying , some are just plain ignorant. Kids are easy target for cheap labour. People can make them work whole day and can get away without paying them too. This kind of lifestyle exposes them to various abuses like tobacco, smoking, drugs at a very early age and there is no one to monitor them either. Its sad that in our country we always talk about economic growth, but what about the core problems that are plaguing our country, Povery, Illiteracy, communicable diseases, child labour, female infanticide etc.
I know there are lot of NGOs working on this issues, but there should be a centralised portal by government, where quick and correct action can be taken against these issues. And even i want to be part of the cause to curb these issues in our country.
Cometh the time, cometh the night, cometh the gal, cometh this same old lad, Back 2 D crazy self, shady black shit clad Thers a story, every damn love seeker Projecting thru heart, knee weaker Aint ure glory, u bloody dreamer Never enuff time, hold on bro, catch a breather

So listen up Sue me now, see me now, feel me now, baby i guarantee, im fuckin all right.....
P.S- the above words r purely fictional, it has no resemblance to real life incidents :P
The thing about women, is that, they are mysterious in their own ways,
Every woman's brain is like a cryptic crossword, only difference is that a cryptic crossword can be solved, a woman's brain is just too cryptic to solve.
God made men and women different. He equally divided brawn, brain and beauty to both men and women. He then thought if i give both of them brawn and beauty, then whey would be so alike. So he decided to give men the brawn, brain and beauty, and for the women, instead of brawn, he added an extra portion of brain. The resulting effect is that, the latter have and extra portion of brain, which conflicts with the original brain, so in the end they themselves don't know what they are thinking. No wonder they are difficult to understand :P
Every woman has a sixth or seventh or eight sense, or whatever number u wanna give it. This is a peculiar power that women have. Let me explain it to u. Imagine a woman sitting in a hall alone, and u are sitting across the hall, far away from her. U might be in the farthest spot in her field of vision. Try staring at her for a long time, keep concentrating and just stare at her. After a while somehow, she's come to know that, someone is staring at her, n look back at u. U wont believe, at times ive been sitting behind a gal, n was generally lookin at her, n she turned back. Gals have this amazing talent, don't know how they do that. Coz trust me guyz, we can never know. :)
A woman's brain so complex to understand too. There are so many things going on in their head all the time. They have such an analytical mind, massive programming and coding goes on at the top floor. When U are with a gal, u must pay attention, to every damn thing she says. Even if u miss even 1/10th of the conversation, ure screwed, u definitely ain't gettin any goodies. Suppose ure not listening and she asks something out of the blue, the best answer u could give is " ya ya sure", or to make her more happy "absolutely" .
Never interrupt or disturb a gal while shes talking on the phone or sleeping, well dude shhhhh.. thats the only time shes not yelling at you.
They have this amazing way of creating an imaginary world with their hands while talking on the phone. She's be waving her hand in the imaginary atmosphere, as if the person shes talking to is sitting right next to her. Best is when shes angry, u'l see all kinda hand gestures, which u really wanna get away from. And also while shes giving directions, her hands will go right for right direction and vice versa.
Don't ever miss a phone call, well u are then subjected to such a rigorous interrogation, even FBI will have mercy on u. Even if ure going for download, take ur mobile with u.
And always comment on how she looks, and remember this has to be done on a regular basis, preferably every time u meet her. Well of course, say only good things.
Finally this post was written just to tickle the funnybone. If any of you feel it was rude, derogatory, unacceptable, then i don't give a damn :P
And to all the women in my life, I love you, i hate you, i adore you, i despise you, but i can never ignore you, because without a woman, a man's life would be like a barbeque full of sausages. :P
Last weekend, i went to one of my closest friend's wedding to the city of oranges, nagpur. That is where i spent my 5 years of education. It was a good feeling to go back to old times, old places.
Those clean roads, those honking two wheelers, those cycles, which cross ur lanes unexpectedly, its fun to go back to old times.
Its been so long not used to cold weather. The temperature over there was not at all friendly, with a freezing temperature of 5.3 degrees, coldest in the last 75 years, had to be the day i was there.. :)
Even large glasses of alcohol wasnt helping. Was just making my health worse. Was great to see my very good friend getting happily married. The happiness on her face was so evident. Wedding was a lavish affair, with all the groom's friends dancing to latest bollywood chartbusters and some even impersonating bollywood stars. Though even i wanted to be part of the stage, but coudn't help it, reached late for the whole event. The Reception was equally grand, with the bride and bridegroom both looking fabulous.
The time in nagpur wasnt that great due to my more frequent visits to the loo. The cold wasnt helping the body either. Not to mention I had a 4.30 am train to catch to get back to bangalore. To make the matters worse, the train was a whole 3 hrs and 30 mins late. I was really skeptical of catching this train, coz this train is always dirty, so forget bout loo. Just got into the train, found my seat and hit the bed. went to sleep, coz dint have a good sleep past couple of days.
Was just wondering, how im gonna spend my time, 24hrs in the train, after all its really long time. Luckily, i got few interesting co-passengers. One was a late 60s old man, another was an old lady must be about 75 years, and she was travelling alone from lucknow, was thinking this lady has guts to travel alone for such a long distance. Then there was a young late 20s techie. and young 20 something gal. Mind it very rarely happens, gals are there anywhere around me during a train journey, she was decent looking.
Earlier, 5-6 years back during MBBS, when me and my roommate used to travel by train back home to bbay from nagpur, It was customary to go and first check the passenger list, for all <25 year old females. Not That we used to do anything about it, even if there were females. Just used to be happy, a good looking chic is sitting beside us, which never used to happen... This time i was too sick and tired, to even get up of the seat.
I met a interesting 40 something guy, he was a vice principal of a management college in hyderabad. He had such a command in talking and convincing people. For some people, this skill comes so naturally, he was so charismatic and confident, impressed all the passengers nearby. Wasnt difficult to identify, hes a management guy. He even convinced the train Ticket checker to give a seat to one of the co-passengers, where it looked impossible, looking at the rush.
After a long journey was good to reach bangalore, though was 3 hrs late, but was a relief from the cold climate in the central part of india.
Best part of train and bus journey is u get to see the real india, looking forward to take some more trips in the future.
