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...

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 INFINITE ELASTIC. God! this theory should not reach my mom!

Anyways, this time was unlike other times because this time not only my mom but also my neighbour aunties and my relatives and even my friends were of the same opinion. Saale mere dost, $%#&*$&*. (sorry but i want my blog to be decent.) Seriously yar i am tired of hearing the same stuff again and again.

'Beta mess ka khana aacha nahi hai kya?' or 'mess change kyu nahi kar leta? ' or 'gym join kar le.' or 'koi tension hai kya.' or 'padhai ke saath saath khane pine par bhi dhyan diya kar.' blah! blah! blah! ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!



Chalo this time will go with a determination that next time want to shut everyone's mouth. But i am doing everything i can. ok have to go now.

MUMBAI: LIKE OR DON’T LIKE IT, BUT YOU’LL LOVE IT.

Image
Coming to Mumbai was a decision which was taken with a lot of thought. Hope for a better education quality was the first point. And the rest followed. Pune was an option but…… frankly speaking patterns and prejudices do scare the hell out of me. The image of Pune which resembles to some UNDISPUTED CHAMPION in the field of education makes me cynical. Ask anyone where they want to go for study? And the answer you get is a cliché. And you definitely know who I am talking about. Of course the glorious town of Pune with its archaic tradition of producing or to say MANUFACTURING (Sorry! But preparing for CAT leaves an impression on you ) so called Graduates year after year compelles you to have a second thought about it. No offence to Pune’s Education system. It is among the best we have in India. But my experiences says ‘Never to follow the crowd, If your aim is to lead them.’ So Mumbai was finalized. Well my first day in Mumbai. I arrived at Dadar, and hugely underestimated the sta...

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 ...
