After effects of dissertation

I have been saying funny things to people off late. Here are few for the readers:

1. My plan is not to plan

2. If life, love and luck are kind enough to give a second chance...GRAB IT!!!

3. Life is like a bubble...LIVE IT!!!

4. 'Move on' is the easiest suggestion to give and most difficult to follow.

NDTV is BULLSHIT !

This post is being written with NDTV's famous programme 'We the people' playing in the background. It has become like a Star Plus soap which is very predictable.

The issue is obviously Delhi blasts and what a big nonsense it is. The anchor, Barkha Dutt seems to be insensitive. She asked a victim's relative how he felt after his relative died in Karol Bagh blast....Madam Dutt consider yourself very lucky if you don't know how it feels when a loved one dies like this... And then they have the usual heroes of the programme, Congress spokeperson Abhishekmanu Singhvi and Arun Jaitely from BJP. Both argue about what Congress is doing for security and what BJP did not do and is not doing in BJP ruled state. Both the political parties don't want to disturb their vote banks.

How sad is the fact that in their useless debate they remembered law, themselves and their parties but happily forgot victims and Delhi blasts.

'We the people' actually have no choice but to move on and 'WE' are not interested in debates.

Another important thing Barkha Dutt is not good as an anchor a number of times and this episode was just another example. However 'We the people' will appreciate if NDTV arranges for a fruitful discussion instead of a Dog vs Cat sessions on sensitive issues merely for high viewership.

Mission B-A-D

Banglore-Ahmedabad-Delhi were the targets of Indian Mujahideen. Are people in such terrorist groups human???? How come they think their mission is bigger than fellow human beings and above that what is the mission. What will they get if people leave home with a terror in mind that each bye to their loved ones can be the final bye forever.

Everyone I know wants to kill them, everyone abuses them. Then why cant something be done about these camps. Being away from home can be extremely painful when such attacks happen. I understand all of us have to die one day, but why should a terrorist group decide anybody's life span.

The role of the government is very questionable in this. A government that is so busy with the nuclear deal and with the opposition so eager to bring it down, it feels as if there is no one at all thinking about citizen's sense of security. Who wants their sympathy, when will the actions speak louder????. People in power are as helpless because they are busy enjoying what they have, given by us.

My heart goes out to the blast victims and their families. We are sandwiched between terrorists and the government. God bless us all in the world of terrorism.

Picture perfect Leicester























This pic was taken while I was returing home one eve. I pass by river Soar everyday but have never seen it so calm, so still. It appeared to me like a mirror and thanked for mobile phone camera technology as I captured the beauty of the river.

Souvinier from Poland


















This post is for a very special friend from Poland. She is my housemate and makes me feel at home when least expected. We hardly get to meet despite of living in the same house. But whenever we do, she greets me with her magical mother like smile whatever the time maybe.

Thank god for her.

Who knows knowledge ?

Knowing too much sometimes takes away the joy of life. These days I am writing a report on knowledge. By doing so all my energy and the knowledge for namesake has drained completely.

I did everything that I was not expected to, to gain some knowledge, like watching FILMS, NDTV online, BBC online and friends, in the time that was given for research and preparation. The worst was planning a trip back home over and over again. And guess what...I am back to my normal way of working i.e. always performing under pressure by choice or call it by habit.

The other day I was talking to a friend and said, 'I have knowledge and can work for a while' when I wanted to say that I have energy and can work for a while. In another funny conversation I asked a friend not to worry about his report, to which he quickly replied, 'don't worry I have knowledge'.

For now my dictionary begins and ends with KNOWLEDGE. I think all the worry, tension, anxiety, nervousness, stress, excitement and pressure is thanks to knowledge that I don't have yet working on. I hope this pressure will feel like pleasure, happiness, delight and enjoyment after the report is submitted.

Life is like a bubble

My latest laptop screensaver is of bubbles and it is also the inspiration behind this post.

In grand scheme of things our life is just like a bubble...a bubble is born to fly happily and stays happy but not for very long... sometimes it has to fight with other bubbles and odd air flows.There are bubbles within the bubble of life like joys, sorrows, love, family, friends... The reality of all bubbles is that they die at one point...no matter what.

If our life is like a bubble, I wonder when I burst...where will my air go? will it vanish...

On a lighter note a friend said that life is like a bubblegum...chew it till the flavour ends :) I will say enjoy it till the flavour is there.
