This is the 10th draft probably making up for publishing. Wanted to share so much stuff but in the end, I thought to stay happy and just not try anything else. Lakshmi gave a wonderful and memorable start and I know she would end that with the same. I wanted to wish myself a very Happy Birthday for not what I am but for what you all feel I am. Love or hatred, friendship or enemity, close or far, big…
If there is one Cricket team that can only be more arrogant than itself, pat comes the answer as ‘Australia’ from any one. The team boasts itself of using ‘sledging’ as one of their main tactics and were always one step ahead of their opponents. This time around, the arrogance has been paid its due. Ashes defeat is not just a display of two teams competing each other on Test Cricket and take the rubber away. England had proved what…
While reading through the headlines today, I came across a news item wherein a girl who was gang-raped by 3 people was chasing them on the road in broad day-light without caring for her for nudity. She was eager to catch those culprits before they could set off. No one, not even a single person tried to stop those culprits and they got away.

After a long long break, I was browsing Deccan Chronicle on the web and had a deep sigh “somethings never change”. It was more or less a crappy news paper which it had been during my days in Hyderabad and God forbid, its still maintaining the same status-quo. Although it covers some national and international news, its primarily a local English language News Paper and what I see in its Entertainment section headlines are… Jessica Simpson’s lawyers issue legal warning……
SRK’s detention in Newark is not just unfortunate incident, it brings me back the Western imperialistic mind-frame to the forefront. He might not be a Gandhi that he situation requires such an uproar nor his ethnicity have to bear the brunt. For me its more Indian than any other paraphernalia. Kalam was detained briefly in our own country and yet Continental was able to fly on our skies. The deplore was a mere rhetoric than action. It is a national…
One song that always fills tears in my eyes and brings those glimpses of black and white pictures of freedom fighters ruthlessly beaten by atrocious British soldiers. aye mere vatan ke logon zara aankh mein bhar lo paani jo shaheed hue hain unki zara yaad karo qurbaani Rendering her sweet voice mixed with the pain and agony of those great people who put their lives in the fore-front of freedom struggle, Lata Mangeshker is ever successful in bringing those memories…
We all went to Smoky last weekend cordially joined by my cousin and her family from Kentucky. Overall the trip was a nice experience. Kids had some good time and everyone specially enjoyed the cabin-stay. With occasional ‘bear-sights’ the trip had its own memories, but the best one still remain crossing the little stream full of rocks on our way to Cedar Cove. Lakshmi and I were crossing this nature’s small beauty hand in had and it then stuck to…
