Vastu Shastra

A lot of people in our locality are falling prey to this demon called Vastu Shastra. Even my dad had called a "Vastu Expert" to analise our house. I heard him word by word and I felt that believing in this Shastra is just like believing in God. Simply because there is no logic involved in it. Just because the kitchen of our house is in the south west corner he said that the women of our house will have a shorter life and that most of my dad's hard earned money is going in kitchen expenses. I just smiled at him and asked dude what is the connection between my dad's expenses and the kitchen's position. He gives me an example that there was so and so house and the people of that house were facing this big problem n bla bla. Areey there is a difference between my family members and the people of the house that the Vastu expert mentioned. My family members have a set of capabilities( & weakness) which are quite different from those of the people of that house.Instead of improving the cooking habits why do something as crazy as demolishing the kitchen. I mean a kitchen is not even a living creature and it still it's harming us?[:O]. Is it a demon [:P].

I find it quiet funny that our elders themselves say " Beta jaisay karma karoge waise phal paoge" and instead of improving thier karma they demolish the same house that they built with such great love, care and hopes and ambitions. Ha. They themselves say "josh mein hosh say kaam lo" and they only let their josh control them, they only forget what they preach

Melody is choclaty

Before you start wondering what this post is all about let me tell you its about a gal called Sonali. Hmmm she cute, sweet, intelligent but a stupid, idiot girl. No she's not my galfrnd, not even my friend. Then who's she??Hmmmmmmm hahah.

Ok she's my sister ,my uncle's daughter studying in 4th or 5th std i guess.
Her speciality ----> always looking around for ways and means to trouble and tease others. And as soon as you show her something new, something that she has never seen and she starts bulldozing you with questions, you know the answers but just can't explain it to her.

Some days back when I showed her a rocket, in came a PJ. "Dada te pakshi yevda dhur ka sodat aahey"(bro, why is that bird leaving such a huge amount of smoke) haha. I didn't want to get further questions from her so I told her "its a man bird na that's why". She thought for a while and asked "dada!! when did man start manufacturing birds. I want to have a closer look at it. Take me to the manufacturing factory.I was like" Hey bhagwan?"(oh God).But.......

I did take her. Not to the factory yaar. To our very own VTU(Virtually Taxing University). Had to go there for submitting my PGCET form offcourse. There I showed her these rockets.

Even after seeing these her questions didn't stop. Her final question was this "Dada how are these manufactured?". I said "beta I don't know ask your dad". She says "hmm ahaha you are a mechanical engineer and you dont know ahaha". Me :"I know beta but can't explain it to you". She: "yes dada I know how much you know hahaha".

Now milk becomes poison.. :O

I was just shuffling through news channels and suddenly saw a man dipping his hands in a vessel full of milk and steering it. I thought it might be some Bihari and who knows our dear funny man Lalu Prasad may pop up. But to my horror the man was preparing something called as synthetic milk. I tried to find the video but sigh.He had taken a big vessel full of water and emptied a full bottle of white colour( yes the same colour that children use to paint).What was more horrifying was that he then added urea and a packet of shampoo to it. He mixed it thoroughly. And added an equal quantity of milk into the vessel. The channel reported that this is being done in many cities across India.

Are these effects of recession??. I just can't believe that people can fall down to such low standards.

What's going on with mother earth?. All I get to hear these days is only bad news. It all started with the mumbai attacks, then came the bomb blasts, then punjab burnt, then racist attacks on Indians,Air France flight crashed, then a mishap was avoided.

Reservation for Women

What?? reservations for women??.....why?. The Indian society has already been divided into several castes and what not. The British started it and these selfish politicians are doing it again. I say are reservations the only solution, when the problem lies in the myth that " women are weak and suited only for house-hold work". Are there not enough women in parliament already. Are they not proving the myth wrong. Yes, but possibly the rural India is either not aware of it or they are bound by the society.I think the government must think more about solving this myth. If at all a woman desperately wants to be in parliament she will find her own way.And wonder if after comming to power she will think only about women and not India. I wonder if she'll ever make a law that says "only women can be CEO's, only woman can be a sarpanch" and Let me ask the women themselves "how much did she gain from abt 10 yrs rule by a woman called Indira Gandhi". "This favour by the government is no less. Regardless of what merit I may possess, the suspect factor remains that I got there through other means" says a women blogger.If parties feel that there is a need for more women representatives then why don't they have reservations in their own parties. How will reservations help when the men in their own parties are not giving space for women.I am not against the progress of women but I am against something that suppresses the meritorious and intelligent. Why risk giving the magic stick to someone who doesn't deserve it.I am against something that divides this country and inflicts hate and jealousy. If one sees the results of 10Th or 12Th std. of any board one will find that the topper is a female.Why reservation for them when they can do equally well or even better than men in many spheres of life?. And do women vote only for women. Do Dalits vote only for Dalits. Its only such stupid reservation policies that encourage voters to be religiously and genderously motivated. See by yourself what Nehru ji has to say abt reservations here:

http://www.mastiunlimited.com/admin/uploads/CBB_reservations.jpg

So our nations first prime-minister didn't want to create a secon rate country and here we have our leaders taking us on a wrong path. And it's the leaders that we have choosen. It's the leaders who can't think beyond reservations, beyond giving cheap loans to farmers. It's the leaders who use their powers to mend the law, the constitution to suit their own parties, without giving importance to the country's progress.

Deccan odyessy

IPL is proof that "GOD listens to the needy and the deserving" for last time round its was Rajastan Royals who needed his blessings and this time it was RCB and Deccan Chargers(DC).
Both these teams started their quest from the bottom of the points chart 2008.

RCB did win their 1st match but a series of losses followed. This was the time when they needed HIS help and he did heed in the form of Anil KUmble. He turned their tide upside down.They managed to win 6 six in a row. Was Vajay Mallya dreaming??....no but would his dream come true. Will RCB lift the trophy. Only time could tell for nobody expected RCB to reach the final.
Deccan Chargers on the other hand began their campaign, like a house on fire, sweeping all before them in the initial stages,and despite some lean period towards the end reached the finals with great honour.

The final match, I did want RCB to win and had decided to write this post only if they do.But from somewhere I haerd a voice "DC will win" it said and in the end the final turned out to be a Deccan Odyessy.An odyessy with a lot many twists and turns and even a couple of funny incidents when Van Der Merwe falling down twice. Some electric fieldwork by Andrew Symonds, Rohit Sharma and Herschelle Gibbs, excellent left-arm spin from Pragyan Ojha and aggressive captaincy by Gilchrist worked wonders for the DC. It's they who deserved to win in the end.Now let take this occasion to share a few lines that I have written on cricket:

CRICKET IS OUR RELIGION WE INDIANS SAY,

WE FOLLOW IT IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY.

BE IT A SIXER, A 2 OR A 4,

WE ROAR FOR EVERY SINGLE SCORE.

NO OTHER GAME HAS RECIEVED SUCH A CRAZE

LIKE KINGS AND TIGERS OUR PLAYERS ARE PRAISED

WINNING HAS BECOME EVERY PLAYERS GOLE

TEAM INDIA WILL SOON BE AT THE TOP OF TEAM RANKINGS POLE

New TV serials

With the sacking of Ekta Kapur[who doesnt hate her] and the birth of a new channel Colours I enjoy nights more than days. I no more say “Ma, please please change the channel", no more fights with sis. After whole days work where I am usually found shouting, and screaming at my fellow team members I get to smile, laugh, taunt, comment.I am talking about the new TV serials on STAR PLUS and Colours where only good things happen to good people.

My night odessey starts with Balika Vaddhu, a serial on child mirrage I like the way Anandi acts and the attitude of Jaggya. The way he goes about his duty of keeping his wife happy. Their grannie is so funny but there is so much to learn from her.





Then the channel is switched to Star plus , Bidai which is about two families and two sisters. Must say I love Sadhna, coz she’s closer to the image that I hve in mind about my dream girl



Next on the same channel is my favourite, Yeh Rishta kya khelata hai. This is a love story. Like this because I see myself in Naitik . There is a lot of emotional hatyachar in this …



Then comes our Punjab da putar BEBO….she is so so so beautiful even more beautiful than Ash. She looked stunning in that blue dress, just love to see her smile. Then there are also usually Punjabies joking around “meri body allow nai karti” lol

Prefer what :Perfection or im-perfection....

I enjoy perfection, but it comes at a cost. From my blogs header to the notes that I get from my friends.I sometimes want everything thats around me to be perfect just like Leonardo's paintings and Farah Khan's coreography.And if its not then I start to feel the steam building inside me like in a pressure cooker. It bursts out anytime on any one.
Not being satisfied is another thing that comes with it coz "When you aim for perfection you discover that its a moving target"-----> George Fisher.

Nobody likes perfectionists because people find them to be annoying. So the question that came to my mind is "perfection ----> yes, but at what cost??" because "Sometimes when you want everything, you walk away with nothing".

So i think its good to "Always live up to your standards, - by lowering them, if necessary" coz striving for excellence motivates you ; striving for perfection is demoralising"

and hence

"Ring the bells that still can ring,
Forget your Perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in"
~ Leonard Cohen.

Why give scope for a coalition government

When I went to cast my vote I began wondering whether my vote will count or go waste. Will the person I vote for ever come to power. With so many parties around coalition governments have become a compulsion. This makes it things difficult and confusing for voters, especially for those who are voting for the first time. But I say why give scope for a coalition government. Coalition Government is formed when no single party has a complete majority rt. Doesn't "no single party has complete majority" mean 'no single party has managed to win the hearts of the people it wants to serve. While voting don't we vote for a single party and not for a group of parties??. Ha this is good "We vote for a single party and later that vote will be divided among several parties" HuH.

Another thing that came to my mind is that the ideologies,ethics and principles of all parties
are different, infact most of the times they are opposing each other. When these parties can forget their own ideologies and principles (i mean thier vajud) if they can bow down and compromise just for the sake of forming the government (ie for their own benifit) will they not bow down with respect to national interests??

We only say that compromise is the new name for coalition government and we only allow it to happen.

Can we do something to change it??

A day at the check post

Our truck had meet with an accident today. Another truck carrying bauxite collided with it. It happened in the night so there were no spectators. Don't know how and what happened but I think it was the other drivers fault because the other truck had turned upside down on the road itself.Our driver fled fearing that his Saukar will scold him.
While my uncle went to bring another driver I had to spend the rest of the day at the 'FOREST CHECK POST' near Hindalga. I was sitting wright beside the officer. Every five minutes a truck drivers would come and pay him Rs 10 /- to Rs15/- depending upon the material that they carried. There was another officer and both of them were shamelessly discussing about the profits and shares of higher officers.They had even hired a boy to do their work of filling in the challans etc.For a moment I felt like give him two tight slaps but then something stopped me from doing it. I even thought of taking a pic with my cybershot phone.
There was another truck whose forest pass time limit had expired. Those guys were in gr88 trouble and would have had to pay roughly about Rs 5000/-. It is the officer who saved them. He asked them to pay whatever they had in their pockets. It is this incident that made me change my mind. After all they were doing good for the businessmen and the truck owners. Saving their money and contributing to the business profit while taking their own share.


Have a nice,

Cheers!!

Awesome observation about driving on indian roads

This hilarious article was written by a Dutchman who spent two years in Bangalore, India, as a visiting expert. A little long article but worth reading it!!!
(DISCLAIMER:- THE CREDIT FOR THIS ARTICLE GOES TO THE ORIGINAL WRITER OF THIS ARTICLE. I RECEIVED IT AS AN EMAIL FORWARD.)
Driving in Bangalore / India(Pro's and Con's)
For the benefit of every Tom, Dick and Harry visiting India and daring to drive on Indian roads, I am offering a few hints for survival. They are applicable to every place in India except Bihar, where life outside a vehicle is only marginally safer. Indian road rules broadly operate within the domain of karma where you do your best, and leave the results to your insurance company. The hints are as follows:
Do we drive on the left or right of the road?The answer is "both". Basically you start on the left of the road, unless it is occupied. In that case, go to the right, unless that is also occupied. Then proceed by occupying the next available gap, as in chess. Just trust your instincts, ascertain the direction, and proceed. Adherence to road rules leads to much misery and occasional fatality. Most drivers don't drive, but just aim their vehicles in the generally intended direction. Don't you get discouraged or underestimate yourself except for a belief in reincarnation; the other drivers are not in any better position. Don't stop at pedestrian crossings just because some fool wants to cross the road. You may do so only if you enjoy being bumped in the back.Pedestrians have been strictly instructed to cross only when traffic is moving slowly or has come to a dead stop because some minister is in town. Still some idiot may try to wade across, but then, let us not talk ill of the dead.
Blowing your horn is not a sign of protest as in some countries. We horn to express joy, resentment, frustration, romance and bare lust (two brisk blasts),or just mobilize a dozing cow in the middle of the bazaar. Keep informative books in the glove compartment. You may read them during traffic jams, while awaiting the chief minister's motorcade, or waiting for the rainwater to recede when over ground traffic meets underground drainage.Occasionally you might see what looks like a UFO with blinking colored lights and weird sounds emanating from within. This is an illuminated bus, full of happy pilgrims singing bhajans. These pilgrims go at breakneck speed, seeking contact with the Almighty, often meeting with success.
Auto Rickshaw (Baby Taxi): The result of a collision between a rickshaw and an automobile, this three-wheeled vehicle works on an external combustion engine that runs on a mixture of kerosene oil and creosote. This triangular vehicle carries iron rods, gas cylinders or passengers three times its weight and dimension, at an unspecified fare. After careful geometric calculations, children are folded and packed into these auto rickshaws until some children in the periphery are not in contact with the vehicle at all. Then their school bags are pushed into the microscopic gaps all round so those minor collisions with other vehicles on the road cause no permanent damage. Of course, the peripheral children are charged half the fare and also learn Newton's laws of motion en route to school. Auto-rickshaw drivers follow the road rules depicted in the film Ben Hur, and are licensed to irritate.
Mopeds: The moped looks like an oil tin on wheels and makes noise like an electric shaver. It runs 30 miles on a teaspoon of petrol and travels at break-bottom speed. As the sides of the road are too rough for a ride, the moped drivers tend to drive in the middle of the road; they would rather drive under heavier vehicles instead of around them and are often "mopped" off the tarmac.
Leaning Tower of Passes: Most bus passengers are given free passes and during rush hours, there is absolute mayhem. There are passengers hanging off other passengers, who in turn hang off the railings and the overloaded bus leans dangerously, defying laws of gravity but obeying laws of surface tension. As drivers get paid for overload (so many Rupees per kg of passenger), no questions are ever asked. Steer clear of these buses by a width of three passengers.
One-way Street: These boards are put up by traffic people to add jest in their otherwise drab lives. Don't stick to the literal meaning and proceed in one direction. In metaphysical terms, it means that you cannot proceed in two directions at once. So drive as you like, in reverse throughout, if you are the fussy type. Least I sound hypercritical, I must add a positive point also. Rash and fast driving in residential areas has been prevented by providing a "speed breaker"; two for each house. This mound, incidentally, covers the water and drainage pipes for that residence and is left untarred for easy identification by the corporation authorities, should they want to recover the pipe for year-end accounting.Night driving on Indian roads can be an exhilarating experience for those with the mental make up of Genghis Khan. In a way, it is like playing Russian roulette, because you do not know who amongst the drivers is loaded. What looks like premature dawn on the horizon turns out to be a truck attempting a speed record. On encountering it, just pull partly into the field adjoining the road until the phenomenon passes.Our roads do not have shoulders, but occasional boulders. Do not blink your lights expecting reciprocation. The only dim thing in the truck is the driver, and with the peg of illicit arrack (alcohol) he has had at the last stop, his total cerebral functions add up to little more than a naught. Truck drivers are the James Bonds of India, and are licensed to kill. Often you may encounter a single powerful beam of light about six feet above the ground. This is not a super motorbike, but a truck approaching you with a single light on, usually the left one. It could be the right one, but never get too close to investigate. You may prove your point posthumously.

Hey Indian are you laughing after reading this. Man you should be ashamed of yourself. Will we Indians ever improve??...Hope some politician gets to read this and does something about the pathetic Indian roads(high ways have improved now but there are other issues as well) or can we we bring a change with individual efforts??...:)

some dreams come true some dont....:(((

I have this bad habit of dreaming and believing that my dream is going to come true some day or the other. In my school days used to dream of two things i.e of becoming a Mechanical Engineer and then having a girl friend in college. I had a perfect vision that this is how my girl friend will be. Her character, her looks, an image set perfectly in my mind. Of course becoming a Mechanical engineer was in my hands and I have successful accomplished that aim. Now my only dream left incomplete is of having a girl friend.

Once I saw this girl in college. She was just like the girl of my dreams. Used to her everyday in college . And don’t know what would happen to my heart. It would start beating like a railway engine. I tried my best to go up to her and ask her out. But when i went near her my lips never moved. She gave a smile and walked off. Little did she understand the feelings that I had for her.

After many attempts I came up with a gr88 plan. According to this plan I was going to give her a rose on “rose day in college”. On rose day I got the biggest shock of my life. I saw that she was on a date with someone else. I tried my best to forget her but just couldn’t. Even now I see her in movies, I see her when listening to songs.For example :-

“Tujhe milke laga hai ye Tujhe dhund raha tha main

Tujhme hai kuch aise subha sa

Jiski khatir main tha jaga sa

Aaa tu meray khab saja ja re………..”

The saddest part of it is that I don’t know if i’ll fall in love again!……….:(((
