Farewell To Pune Years!!

As I Leave This Place Behind,

One Realization Mostly Struck My Mind,

“I Am Leaving Behind Some Years Of My Life,

Many Moments Of Glee & Some Moments Of Strife”

In The End As I Pack-Up, Nothing Seems To Matter,

Though Many A Times This Place & Few People Had Made Me Shatter!

I Want To Forgive If Not Forget,

By Embracing The New Sunrise & Giving Send-Off To The Sunset!

With A Smile On My Face As I Look Back,

Irrespective- At Those Good, Bad & Ugly God Laid Tracks,

While Trudging Those Roads ---Few Experiences Made Me Feel I Was So Stuck In A Trap,

I Now Become Aware By Surmounting Them I Was Only Adding Feathers To My Cap!!!

My Eyes Will Miss- Some Faces & Some Beautiful Sights,

Being Right Around The Corner-They Always Made Me Feel So Right!

With A New Beginning -I Will Now Stride On A New Road,

Gradually-The Writings On My Fate’s Slat I Shall Decode,

The Rules Of Life Shall Not Change,

But People, Places & The Experiences Will Be Of New Range!

I Once Believed In The Idea To Inhabit, Perhaps I Still Do,

But Isn’t It Being Rigid, Sticking To One Place Like A Glue?

I  Now Wish I Can Move On- From People & From Places- Intermittently,

The Ones I Will Leave Behind Will Be Missed & Remembered Fondly,

But This One Good Way To Live Life …That I So Wish To Explore,

A Life Rich In Goodness & Fraught With Experiences Galore!!

Taking The Rough With The Smooth, Many Encounters I Want To Strive,

Oh Lord Bless Me, In One Lifetime With The Experiences Of 100 Lives!

Neel & Ksha’s Bye………

I Dare To Write Against Anna On Dotted Lines.........

What A Juxtapose? As The Old Man Apes Gandhi, We Hear/See Breaking News On Bribe Being Offered To A Senior Army Chief On Our LED Screens.  I Wonder! Is This A Man Made Gimmick- To Stir Up The Fatigued Anti- Corruption Movement Or A Work Of God. Innuendo To ‘Today’s Gandhi’ “Kindly Rethink Your Strategy, It Is Not Working”. The Hungry Old Man Indeed Has A Noble Thought; He Has The Means Too To Awake India’s ‘Aam Aadmi’ Through Renunciation(An Element Consciously Or Subconsciously Imbibed From Our Father Of Nation To Get Mass Support-Never Fails With Us Indians). But With Due Respect To His Strength & Stamina & Most Importantly The Righteous Thought; I & Many Of His Supporters Are Now Feeling The Vagueness Of His Drive. He Is On A Chimerical Vision Through An Even More Obscure Mission. The Cardinal Rule Of Goal Setting Is, That The Goal Per Se Should Be Quantifiable. If It Is Not; It Is Merely A Desire. Rhonda Byre’s Secret Will Also Not Work Here, How Can One Visualize A Corruption Free India? In A Country Like India, Where Lopsidedness Is Rampant …..You Mend A Stitch & Another One Breaks. A Country That Shines In The Corruption Index Of The World. He Wishes To Curb The Menace Through A Piece Of Paper With Lot Of Things Written On It Besides Sporadically Staging An Unto Death Fast. He Needs To Realize One Thing That I Was Made To Realize By One Orator ( His Name I Forgot.) That We Indians Have One Very Unique Quality- Our USP Is ‘Jugad’. There’s Now An English Word For It ‘Indovation’ (It Will Soon Find It’s Way In Oxford & Cambridge). If We Want To Do Something; Irrespective Of It Being Difficult Or Impossible We Will Find A ‘Jugad’ To Do It. Nothing Is Sacrosanct For Us…..Absolutely Nothing. Having Said That, I Strongly Believe Vices Are Inevitable. Someone Has To Be Bad For Someone To Be Good. (God Forbid The Ratio Should Not Be Appalling) Rather Than Protesting In Various Forms To Correct Others We Must Bring A Change Within. It Is A Personal Pledge(Which Taken Collectively Will Create Strong Vibrations) & We Are Making A Road Show Out Of It.

It’s In Our Hand -After All, Government Is For The People, BY THE PEOPLE & Of The People.

If The Change Must Be Brought,

Let It Start With ‘The Man In The Mirror’.


*********************************************************************************
I Want To Know What As Per You Is The Culture Of India? 
Wearing Colourful Clothes...Diwali, Holi All The Festivity, Respect For Elders, Parents.......

As Per Me We Have Not Been Very Careful In Picking Our Culture- Poverty, Chaos, Population Boom, No Sense Of Hygiene, Illiteracy, Gender Based Customs & Treatment,  This Is Our Real Culture. Every Nation Has It's Vices But The Problems We Have Are Intrinsic & Rudimentary For Living A Normal Life. These Problems Are Etched, Almost Difficult To Be Razed. Pick Up Any Hollywood Movie The Real India For Them Is Dirty India.....Poor India.

We All Love India And We Will Always Do............After All Home Is The Best Place To Be!!! It Is The Sense Of Belonging That Makes Us Love It....Miss It When We Are Away.

Just Like We Miss Our Simple Home Even Being In The Lap Of Luxury Of  A 5 Star Hotel.

“The D’s Of India i.e. Democracy, Diversity & Decentralization Will Always Ensure That The Reforms & Development In Our Country Remains Lopsided And Be Implemented Kilometer By Kilometer & Not As A National Wave. We Are A Peaceful Country In Every Sense. 

******************************************************************************
I Cant Guess What Could Be The History Of World........But Wondering What Could Possibly Be History Of India If HITLER Was Born In The Land Of Snake Charmers & Elephants!!! Among Many Other Things That Made Him The Infamous 'HITLER' Which Includes Water Shy Nature Of The Jews.....He Believed a) Parliament( Collective Responsibility) Is An Institution Filled By Cowardice & Ignorance. b) Press/Trade

 Unions Are Nothing But Propoganda For Political Education Rather Than Focusing On Amelioration Of Society.c) Human Rights Are Above The RIghts Of The State & Politicians(Dubiour Talkers) Didnot Have The Clear Concept Of Importance Of The Social Problem. d) Introduction/Allowing Foreign Religion In Your Land Degenerates Your Nation.

*******************************************************************************

Super Power? Heavy Dose, It Took Me Months & A Break From The Book Per Se To Finish It! All The GDP Spend Talk, The Highway Projects, Health, Education, Infrastructure Development………Phew!! In A Layman’s Language “The D’s Of India i.e. Democracy, Diversity & Decentralization Will Always Ensure That The Reforms & Development In Our Country Remains Lopsided. As Far As China Is Concerned, It Is Coercive & Is On A Hurried Mission. The Development Is At The Expense Of Its Own People Seemingly To Impress America & To Beat Down India. I Mean...... They Started This Hare & Tortoise Race. India By & Large Is A Country That Believes In Peace In Every Which Way!"

Life Gives SIGNS!!

Not All Desires Are Right!

Some Are Like Forbidden Fruit.

Somewhere Deep Down Your Burning Temptation You Know That It Is True.

For Such Things In Life, It Is Apt Not To Make Them Happen But Let Them Happen.

Cause Chasing Them Is Like Chasing A Chimera!

Even If You Get Hold Of This Desire, Life Will One Day Put You Back In Place With A Smirk, “See, I Told You”!

If You Put Your Life Under Microscope You Will Realize,

Life Gives SIGNS!!

The Entire Universe Conspires & Collaborates………….

Something Around… It Could Be A Stranger Or A Situation. It Could Be Anything. That Leads You To The Best Things In Your Life Or Signals You To Stop From The Worst That Could Occur!

Yes, Life Gives Signs,

We Must Only Learn To Understand Them, Believe Them & Pursue Them!

Morning Walk In The Garden!

Morning Walk In The Garden!

People Who Don’t Walk In Open; Early In The Morning Are Missing The Nature In Its Best Form. The Air Is Fresh & You Can Very Much Feel The Oxygen Hitting Your Lungs.

                         I Now Walk In Ahmedabad’s Municipal Garden Located Right In front Of My Home Instead Of My Pune Apartment’s Club House. The Jogging Track Is Prepared With Red Soil & You Get To Walk Under The Canopy Of ‘Asopalav Trees.’ It Is Like Two Way Traffic On A One Way Road. With Wires Hanging From My Ears I Can Either See The Face Of The One’s Passing By, Or Check The Base Of One’s Ahead Of Me. Faces Are Fine, But The Behinds Are Apparently Very Interesting. Cute, Fat, Huge, Ugly, Constipated, Tired, Arrogant, Bulging, Is It There….Non-Existent? And The Faces-------Fresh, Enthused, ‘I Have To Reduce No Matter What’, ‘It’s So Early’, ‘Can I Go Back To Sleep’,’ Dead Eyes Open’  ‘I Don’t Know Why I Am Walking’ Types.

Among The Morning Rush I Found Only One Pretty Girl & One Hunk. The Beauty Was A Complete ‘Adidas/Nike’ Style Statement’ & The Hunk Was Jogging. I Got Inspired. People Who Take Pride In Walking Must Try Jogging. Go Run & Feel The Panting, The Coughing, The Spinning Of Head & The Vibrations In Your Body Long After You Are Done.  I Am Not Too Sure How Much Change Walk Brings To Your Body Mass Since The Exercise Is Almost Intangible. But With Jogging-You Feel The Instant Change- The Chemical Reaction In Your Body.

On The Track As I Try Hard To Race With Self & Try To Keep My Pace, I Get Slowed Down Or Abruptly Halted. Thanks To Gang Of Women Walking Or Should I Say Dragging Themselves Together. First Of All I Don’t Understand, How Can You Go For A Walk With A Company, It Is Such A Pensive Exercise. This Is The Time Of The Day When Your Mind Is Alert, Optimistic & Gay & Then You Hear These Women Discussing Creams, In-laws & Daily Soaps. So I Doubly Ensure I Carry My FM Phone.

But Listening To FM Radio In The Morning Is Also Quite Comical. Those Guys Sitting In The Studio I Say They Need To Be Educated. Early In The Morning To Enable The Listeners In Getting Ready For The Challenging Day Ahead They Play, “Zindagi Ne Zindagi Bhar Gam Diye”. This Is So Out Of Context. What Do They Expect Me To Do, Undo The Perky-Ness & Think About My Past & Pains. You Change The Channel & The Scenario Is No Different, Love Songs Of All Genre.

I Love You Song,

The Break-Up Song,

Love Side-Effect Song,

Love Is Bad Song,

What Is Love Song,

Love Love Love Song……………….

Someone Ought To Tell FM That They Need To Reckon This Fact, “ At-least In India The Mushy Scene Is Generally After The Dark & Not In The Early Hours. In The Morning We Need Chuk-De Songs”

As I Am Advising This To FM In My Mind……… The ‘Gam Song Is Over. I Am Back From My Painful Past. Thank God! Here Comes Another,

“ Noore Khuda, Tu Kahan Chupa Hai Hume Yeh Bataaa……………” (OK! I Love This Song So I Will Forgive Them)  But FM What Do You Want Me To Do……….. Stop & Meditate Or Do You Want Me To Stand In Silence To Pay Homage To The Song Writer & The Music Director For This Wonderful Composition.

30 Minutes Are Up! So Is My Patience………………….I Cant Take Chance With The Next Number! I Better Learn The Song Downloading On My BB. Any Teachers Please???

Is Good Becoming Bad & Bad Becoming Good!

It Is Difficult To Pick An Adjective For A Person Who Is Truthful & Trusting.

Which Word Suits His Persona?

Honest Or Stupid For Being Candid, Foolish Or Innocent For Being Gullible?

Which Expression Suits His Behavior Best?

Does This Person Allow Himself Or Herself To Be Taken For Granted Or Believes Infallibly In The Milk Of Human Kindness!

And  What Word Would You Put To Use To Describe The Person Who Takes Advantage Of Being Trusted?

Smart Or Insensitive!

Are Times Changing?

Is Good Becoming Bad & Bad Becoming Good!

We Are Thereby, Making Our Own Race Redundant.

While Travelling In Train You Realize That It Is Not Only The Animals That Reproduce In Dozen, We Indians Too. Fortunately For The Animals They Are Lower In Food Chain & Their Life Expectancy Is Very Low. But We…We Are Otherwise. Nevertheless We Are Multiplying As If There Is No Tomorrow.

We Are Thereby, Making Our Own Race Redundant.

If You Ponder Over, It Would Leave You With A Dichotomy In Your Mind On Whom To Blame,

Government For Not Providing Us With Enough,

Or We…For Reproducing More Than Enough!

Maturity.........

The Connotation Of ‘Maturity’ Signifies The Status Of A Person’s Mind; However In Our Everyday Life When It Comes To First Impressions & A Casual Acquaintance Maturity Is Gauged More So From The Person’s Appearance. As If Ripeness In Body Will Send It’s Ripples On The Mind Too. A Full-Grown (Not To Be Read As FAT) He/She Will Any Day Look More Influential & Invite More Respect.

So All You Men Out There Flaunt Your Tummies, Your Moustache, Your Grey Hair………..If Your Are Bald That’s Even Better.

And Women, Forget Size Zero, Put On SOME Flab, Beautify Yourself With A Saree If Not Do Drape A Dupatta, Don’t Let Your Hair Loose-Tie Them……& Last But Not Least Don’t Be A Woman-Don’t Giggle!

To Top Up The Above, Be Slow………Talk Slow, Walk Slow!

Every Action Small Or Big Must Be Preceded By Meditative Mulling.

All These Are Ostensibly Signs Of Prosperity & Endurance, A Life Rich In Experience.
