The new phase!!

Today the day started on a very sad note. Somehow my generation of instant SMSs make things too trivial and people fail to realise that some news are not supposed to be sent as group messages!!!someone's personal loss is not a news to be sent in messages..people are forgetting the importance of a simple human touch!!
Though I am sad the day ended with a bit of better things!!
I went to the new INGLOT store in the city of joy!!yay!!this one was looong overdue!!!
I should say the staff at INGLOT are wayyyyy better than the ones at MAC in my city!!are you listening MAC???you need to hitch up your pants and learn some people skills!!you definitely turned off a potential customer (me!me!!).its really irritating how the SA's cater to only the ones who have a fat purse and look like they just came out of a salon!!( not that its a bad thing, but then all of us don't have the luxury of staying at home..we do work hard to earn those bucks and that tend to make us seem tired at the end of the day!!!)
i am in love with my very first e/s.its amazing!!!!can't wait to work with it!!!

yipeee

exams are over for now!!granted that it was a teeny weeny one!!but it was an exam nevertheless!!but then i also miss a thing like exam when it gets over..it makes me feel that i have too much of time on my hands!!suddenly there's a vacuum!!
and exams are the times that remind me to re read books, surf the net for oh so important an article, surf blogs and every thing which is not important..
and the interest wanes as soon as the exams get over.
life's so weird isn't it??
btw i have got a new interest on my mind nowadays!!and the interest is totally unlike me!!!

crushed flowers

Today's news paper carries a news which delights every Indian.Sunita Williams, an astronaut working for the prestigious NASA is set fly to space in 2012.its not the first trip for her but then an experience like that must have a stupendous feeling every time one goes for a stroll in space.Sunita is of Indian descent from her father's side ,reason enough to brand her as a global Indian.
Another Indian,this time a true blue daughter of the soil, was equally if not more lauded for her accomplishments at NASA.Sadly the tryst with destiny didn't end happily and we lost a gem in the skies.But Kalpana Chawla lives on as an inspiration for every girl in the subcontinent.
Surprisingly her story of success started from the heartland of the most brutal atrocities against women that the country has ever witnessed.How ironical that the girls from the birthplace of Kalpana never live long enough to see the light of the day or darkness of the night lit up by the innumerable stars.Their life goes into the eternal darkness,the very same one resides in the heart of the people which drives them to commit such heinous acts.
Where is the honour for killing a sister, a daughter, a mother or any girl? Kalpana Chawla got married to an American, a foreigner who had no caste. And she brought honour to an entire country and to womankind.
Educated families drive their daughters to a life full of misery in the name of "knowing what is better for my child".A daughter is sent to school or college not for the education but to get better matches for them.The daughters will serve as pretty trophies for their husbands in high places.
How many talents did we lose in this circus of honour and dishonour?how many Kalpanas or Sunitas left their dreams of flying to the skies in lieu of bringing honour to the family?
A woman having a way with words or even her own way of life is seen as a threat,an instrument of dishonour.How can a nation dream of reaching the pinnacle of its development if it doesn't have its women standing along with the men,not behind them? Every successful man doesn't have a woman behind him but standing there right beside him.

unwanted vacation!!

Experience counts in every aspect of life..or so it seems!!it seems to never work for me during exams.after 18 years of enviable experience you would believe that its like a child's play!!
but no!!it slips by my fingers every time!!
the preparations never start until the last moment.and i have noticed one thing in particular;usable preparation is inversely proportional to the number of holidays!!i could never compare with the so called toppers of the class in terms of revising the course before the start of the exam..it has always been make or break time with me!!!
and you would be amazed to discover so many interesting things to do as the exams come nearer!!a friend sent me a message once.even staring at walls becomes interesting!!in my case i tend to read all the fiction books lying around in the house.don't mind the fact that i know each and every line of every book by now!!but what can i do??it just cannot wait..its like a drug induced frenzy!!a marathon to finish the book.until then sitting down with the course books has to wait no matter what!!
this a period of highly intellectual myriad thoughts, i think!!oh no!!the frenzy has begun or why else would i be writing this blog??
somebody save me!!

red

You never understand the enormity of a situation until it hits close.Blasts used to be something which took place in bigger cities to important people.It used to be instances when you offer condolences and forget about it.I personally used to feel bad about it for a few minutes and then a movie used to release on the subject and then all's forgotten.
Since 26/11 it has hit close, quite close.it seems like yesterday I visited the famed Oberoi in Mumbai, the Tiffin restaurant. Met with the staff most of them my brother's friends.Had a free snack. and the next time i see the restaurant is when it is being gutted with bullets.One of the most beautiful sites of Mumbai was echoing with bullet shots,rocket launchers and what not.A boulevard of dreams lay broken in front of our eyes.Yes it had hit close.
And now a different city but as beloved as before.The place also rang a familiar bell.This time it was a friend's loss. A very dear school friend of mine lost his friend from college.All students like us is what Pune famous for. an exuberant bunch of people with dreams of a greater India on their mind.Its a dream lost for the nation.
yes it has hit close once again.day by day it gets closer.i see red in my eyes.of blood, of hatred of a determination to not let the dreams of a nation to come to a stand still.
RIP Rajeev agarwal
Ankik dhar
Anindyee dhar
Shilpa goenka
and the countless people who had a dream undone and a dream we all promise to fulfill.

awakening

I welcome myself back to blogging.don't know why i stopped it.maybe it was because i was too afraid to express myself at one point of time.what if the skeletons in the cupboard come tumbling out? never realized that the skeletons are there because we are meant to face them.the moment you turn around and say 'BOO!' they are all gone.scampering back to dusty cobwebby places.
so here i am back again and standing on my own two feet.its a "people's" world after all.and i am here to get my share of it till the sun shines!!
