Disjointed
So many ideas brewing in my head. What do I write about? nothing definitive.. so here you are:
Sherlock Holmes - What a genius! not him but the writer - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle... Cause its his character taking shape as Holmes and worded by Doc Watson. Reading the abriged collection. o!! its an awesome collection alrite and thanx to my BIL for his unique gift. Will cherish it for a long time to come.
Ayodhya - Ram Janma Bhumi ruling - I knew the property would be divided equally cause thats what India is about - a Secular country promoting the practice of any Religion. Now instead of fighting for which part of the property goes to whom, people should make a choice, live and let live.
Bill for Anti-outsourcing didnt get passed - set back for Obama? all for a cause - Its called politics. His inability to create jobs in the US marks one reason to vote against him. Media triggers headlines like 'more jobs in Bangalore than Baltimore'.
Politics is not my cup of tea, so I refrain from commenting any further. :)
Shakira starring as Ma Kali - hmmmm!! very interesting prospect!
Aur kya - life - philosophy - sometimes a distance from truth - yet we indulge in it - hoping and dreaming - keeping future prospect alive!
have a great life
live every single day!

Hil Par
Abbreviation for Hilarious Paresh Rawal!!
There are some people in this world you cant help but admire. This outstanding Bollywood actor is one such person I admire. His character acting and comedy has its uniqueness cause theres no seconds to it. Saw his drama/natak last nite and enjoyed it to the core. There wasnt a dearth of laughter in the audience.
Ya ya!! I know what your argument might be - 'the concept and idea belonged to someone else(writer/director)'.. but what about him doing justice to the screeplay?? as if the inceptors thought about him in the lead role while chalking it out on pen-paper. And mind you friends it wasnt your mindless comedy we see on TV day in and day out. It was a satire with a subject matter that I am sure cajoled people to ruminate.
There is fun and then there is good, clean fun. Some incidents,happenings and events just tend to leave a lasting impression, this being one such.
jiyo PareshJi! keep us entertained always!

End of an Era!!
said my relative.. I call him Dada.. he is my cousin sis's hubby.. last weekend he cremated his Dad who succumbed to strokes during a dialysis session.. and this is what he said.. End of an era!!
I was touched when he said that .. yet it is the truth.. you live your whole life thinking and knowing what you believe is true or right .. your lifestyle, your family, your friends, your profession, your colleagues, your neighbors.. your grocer, everything around you pretty much, know you for what you are and then one fine day, u r 'no more'.. maybe u wont have anyone to carry forward your legacy.. oftentimes its a weird feeling that 'one instance when u go from living to dead'.. that instantaneous turn of events.. even saying it makes it something heavy-weight that every single one of us need to bear.. which brings me to the saying - 'life is all about living'.. its impossible to turn back time hence all we can do is move forward.. am sure each one of us do that finally, with everything said and done..

Love and Marriage! Love and Marriage!
'Go - together like a horse and carriage' - Lord knows why I am reminded of this title song from one of the sitcoms - 'Married With Children' on ABC channel. Almost right after I landed in this country and after a couple of years of staying glued to the computer and learning the tricks of the trade.. I was bored.. so started watching these series telecasted in the afternoon - The Nanny, Married with children and such.
Trying to take a direct hit from an onlookers angle here.
Possible permutations: -
1) YOu fall in love and marry and then you think - what a bummer? infatuation? maybe! not always though.. likelihood of this one being a keeper ;) are more..
2) YOu marry then you fall in love - maybe!
3) YOu marry, lifelong unable to love the person you are married to
4) YOu love someone, but marry someone else cause of societal or family pressures
- heartache!!
What does staying married mean to people?
1) Security?
2) Someone by your side to care for you 24/7 no matter what... you would think?
3) How much of love plays a role in marriage?
4) You stick together for the sake of children coming out of that marriage
5) If not for anything else - its just because ------------
famous saying in hindi - 'shaadi hai delhi ke laddo' - 'jo khaye wo pachtaye .. jo na khaye wo bhi pachtaye'..
It completely contradicts the saying - marriage and love goes together like a horse and carriage - Ironically tied/bonded to the carriage.

Two peas in a pod!
A chance encounter brought me face-to-face with 2 sweet twin baby sisters. Not identical twins in any sense but something definitely bonded them together. One followed the other around although personality-wise both stood out as 2 different individuals with well defined characteristics. They played together and were content with each others company. So complete in themselves. Bundle of energy and no different from 2 baby kittens from the same litter - Much like 2 peas in a pod.
Life's NOt a Bed of Roses
You dont get everything laid out for you. You tread the tough terrain and then you get there. Once you do.. sometimes a recap of the past and the route you ended up amazes you. 'Did I do that?' You ask yourself and find the same answer over and over again. Who's there by your side to ascertain its your success or its your failure? You are responsible for it all. Finally its your life - live it or leave it alone!
