Womens Day 2021

It was a regular day at the office filled with back-to-back conference calls, unrealistic client requests, colleagues complaining about slow wi-fi and whining about bosses who constantly nag.  In the discreet corner of the office, near the water-cooler, which more often than not becomes a hub of office gossip and harmless banter, somebody spoke. Such things happen when the environment is conducive enough. People let their guards down and unknowingly expose their innermost, crude and lewd biases. This someone basically cribbed that Women's day is celebrated every year with such enthusiasm as against to Men's day which is a relatively low-key affair. This someone also added numerous examples of sacrifices that men make in their daily lives but which go unrecognized. Added that modern women are supposedly empowered enough with the world rooting for them. Needless to say, this somebody was a he. And then everybody in the nodded in agreement and the banter continued. I thought o...

Fear of Losing or Obsession to Win?

Confused? think wisely. OK let me help you out. What do you think, are they same or different? Well most of you will think that they are different. But a handful of the probable readers of my blog will think that they are the same. OK another question for you. Which of you think is more Harmful? and the scope of this harm can be the person himself or the people around him/her. Can anyone of these qualities ruin u? Well this question popped in my mind when i had my very first encounter with destiny. I am firm believer that a man creates his own Fate. But some incidents in your life makes you helpless. You virtually have no control on those things. It is today that i have realised that Destiny is very powerful. Never before I have found myself in such a situation where you are made to do something. It's a bit annoying when you have no control on the things around you. You have no freedon of choice. You are compelled to LOSE. I will here explain my title. Well there is a very fine rel...

HOME SWEET HOME

hi. today no politics. just some ' gharguti ' stuff. As now i am enjoying the ' ghar ka khana ' and ' maa ke haath ki rotiya ' so will write about that. This time too, as always, when my ' maa ' saw me after 4 months the reaction was a cocktail of happiness and worries and many subordinate emotions. 'beta tu kitna dubla ho gaya hai ?' was the first line she told me. But this time i was prepared. from last 3 years since i joined engineering, every time i reach home my mom has the same reaction. Denying all the physical laws and proofs of weighing machines from 'The Railway Station' and 'The Bus Stand' and even 'THE JOINT CAFE ( CIDCO )' my mom wants me to eat and eat and eat and eat. Bas maa bahut ho gaya !!! is the only reply i can give. but who cares what my small stomach has to say? this time i heard a strange concept regarding the materials of which stomachs are made up of. Stomachs are made up of INFIN...

When you stand for the right thing, there will be people who will be unhappy with you

i am back. After so many days of course, but was really busy with all the Campus recruitments. But 'All's well that ends well'. only the climax of my struggling interview was good. I am not going to discuss more about my interview because there are more serious things to talk about. One of my dearest friends is not happy with my blog. but dear friends tell me that should we really take things for granted? is that a thing to accept? Why should we accept? At this point of time i remember one scene of 'RDB' where Su tells DJ and Pandey to stop fighting in the university. She tells one sentence which strikes me like a sledgehammer. "Why did i pack my bags and come to a country where people are lookinig for an excuse to kill each other?" Is this really true. Just see the situation around us. are we really LOOKING FOR A REASON TO KILL EACH OTHER? Fighting for democracy, my foot. All of them do the same thing. DIVIDE AND RULE. Even the Britishers, also Congress a...

Unity In Diversity: A Bullshit?????

A unusual title to begin my blog with but it seems that this is the only one topic about which i would like to tell a lot. Now when i hear this phrase 'UNITY IN DIVERSITY' a picture of a peaceful India comes to my mind. An India where i can see many people, each belonging to different cultures living together in harmony. At least that is what i used to write in my school days when i used to be given this topic for a composition. But times have changed. I left my school five years ago. I cannot think of a reason why my thoughts about this topic have changed drastically. Maybe it's time or it can also be that today i am more aware of India's political scenario.Well in my school days I was totally indifferent to Politics. But as i know that politics is a part and parcel of life, today i take interest in it. Now what has changed in 5 years that my long established belief in this phrase has started to blur? Is it Raj Thackrey or is it Jaipur blasts. But all these are recent ...
