love sex and commercialization !!

hi people,

been long time since i posted anything on this site... now you can assume i was busy or rather not interested! :) actually to be frank, i am now used to artificial emotion showed by people online.. no offense!!
I just felt like posting something as i felt like it watching television tonight... all i saw in the television was one or the other form of love or sex or commercialization.. what is it that we have come to as a civilization i wonder some times..
we dislike talking about it citing examples such as Indian culture and stuff like that but television and things playing on it tend to cause a severe jolt to the general notion of Indian culture... but in the end who really cares? Society is just a social thing which justifies anything people with power or money think is right.. now i agree many people would tend to differ ......but in the end what i am assuming is right.
so it goes... what i realized looking at the television is that each channel is trying to woe audience in one or the other way which involves ultimately love sex or commercialization.
Is this what we have come to i wonder sometimes... but who am i to question this notion of society? forget me, no one who wants to be acceptable in this society can question the ways this entity called as " society" can question the way this entity behaves!!
but this is what i saw on the television tonight..all channels have taken to showing some sort of emotion which depicts one or combination of the 3 forms i mentioned above love sex or commercialization..
when will we learn that this things all lead to disaster? history has thought us that all this 3 things lead to tragedy but still we always tend to love things which lead to tragedy!!

once i heard a dialogue from one hit movie where the machine supposedly says that the human race is similar to a life cycle of a virus.. thinking in retrospect i wonder was that far away from the actual truth? we by a fact consume all the resource a place has to offer and then move on to another location... now this will be called non positive thinking but no one can deny as this being a fact we tend to deny... we have a life cycle similar to a normal virus... but still we will never understand the actual purpose of life is to help a person or animal in need but again why will we care...
sometimes i feel this is all God's fault ... he gave humans a long life so that he can plan for the future... that made man to tend to forget that even a 100 years of life is still a pretty small thing compared to the life of this universe... but still this does not help .. you will still find insurance companies making a huge profit!!

Anyways.. hope i have not jolted your notion of a normal life too badly!!
you take care and God Bless!!


lets see how long we humans can tend to ignore this fact!
till the world changes from the artificial truth that has been devised to keep us normal beings away from the actual reality of life.... good bless all!

Was our freedom worth it?

This is one question which has always made me think when I read the newspapers every morning. During history lessons in school I used to get very much inspired listening to tales of heroism of some of our freedom fighters who gave their lives so that we could get an identity of our own.. i was and am proud of them and their sacrifice.
But looking in to the newspapers these days I and may be many of you also feel remorse and also some amount of anger welling up inside of me which i cannot vent other than by writing it out.
Seeing the recent news about the justice that was delivered after 25 years and the sentence given was 2 years and 25k rupees for killing 20,000 people in a single night!
I wondered if was this justice or a mockery of human life and value in India? The main accused was allowed to flee India on a chartered plane by none other than the then Prime minster of our country!
As the blame game continues and the current government finds a scape goat to sacrifice for this fiasco and then continue with what they were doing, I closed the news paper and wondered was this the identity that our freedom fighters gave their lives for, Indians to be known as a spineless class of people who live and die without a fight?
When India was being given freedom Winston Churchill said " Indians don't deserve freedom"
I read this in history class and was furious... but now I tend to agree with him!
We have been so used to obeying orders that when we are given the power to give orders we go corrupt and loose our moral values! I bet the current group of politicians, judiciary and bureaucrats have sold our pride, identity and even country to anyone who can satisfy their thirst for power and money! Thank God these two things don't give them immortality!
I am waiting for the day when we all will put our country first and ourselves last, may be that day will never come in this lifetime...
Till then I am ashamed to be an INDIAN!

"Déjà vu" one word and a thousand questions!

This one word has intrigued me since my school days. Some might call it paranormal or some might just say its imaginative , but i was always amazed by this.

The official meaning of this word is "The illusion of having already experienced something actually being experienced for the first time."

I wondered to myself in the beginning if i was the only person experiencing such a thing in this world but as kids you have the tendency of feeling shy to stand out of the crowd!
Hence discussing such thing is always out of the question.
But as i came to college and then to engineering it sometimes happened that when I saw a particular scene in front of me it so happened that in the back of my mind there was this feeling that i have been in this place or i have seen this happen before... not saying that i could predict this would happen or not, but there is this faint feeling which says hey i have seen this before!

Kind of funny but science talks of parallel universe , which means there are various universes running in different times at the same time! May take a life time or a millennium to prove it though.
During one trip that i had been to i happened to discuss this with one of my friend and was surprised to know that even he had such thoughts too! Now it was a nice feeling to know that i am not the only one crazy here, but it also brought up a curious thought, was it really possible?

At the present time so little is know to man about the human brain that it would be foolish to make an assumption of what happens of the thoughts in the brain when a man dies. May be they are transferred to one of the parallel universe or a different dimension, who knows!
But one thing i felt is certain it is possible for the brain to foresee the future , but the only problem is we have forgotten the art of remembering them! Many may disagree with this line of thought but is it also not true that a century ago people would laugh at someone saying he could make something weighing more than a ton fly, and looking at a cargo plane take off we don't even blink in wonder!

who knows if Leonardo Da Vinci was alive he may have said " Déjà vu" looking at one of the planes take off!

All said and done about science and its belief in logic alone, i still would say "Déjà vu" could be another dark side of wonder!

Till this is thought upon and its fate decided by science i would suggest you follow the following rule if you feel like saying "Déjà vu"
Say cheers to life and carry on with it!

Avoid them before they Kill...

You might think this is a blog about some health related stuff regarding food or pills that can kill you if you ingest them, but NO this is about women who can cause equal damage to men who are caught unawares by them and subsequently bludgeoned to death!
I shall define them one after another now.
The first one is the Agony Aunt!
This is a class of women who think giving advise is what they are born for! they have an advise for anyone remotely ready to hear them. They are always on the lookout for people who look like they have some problem and there they corner them and give them a dose of ADVICE! They seriously think that it is their business to listen to anyone whining their problems and provide them with some form of advice.
Then come the Cribbing Women!
This is a class of women who have no joy in saying anything good.
They have a huge list of complaints which can range from the AC at their workplace to Nuclear proliferation! There is no limit to their list of problems. Normal people would complain once in a while but these women are at their art 24x7x365 days a year and they are proud of it.
But mind you, do not try to offer advise or suggest a solution to them because they would not like it and also because you could end up being an Agony Uncle!

The Third class of women to avoid is those who say their in-laws are descendants of HITLER or SATAN himself! They curse them and hate them to the core but these are the same ones who showed atmost dedication in serving them before you marry them!

The newest class that seems to be growing in modern or Urban India is
"I HAVE SIZE ZERO" kind of women!
I am still in the process of understanding their Psycology which is quite complicated, the reason being they act as if the food they are about to eat is poison and hence should be consumed in a microscopic amount! Not sure why and what they would gain from a zero size figure which will be nothing but skin and bones.
Looking at them i feel they are real life images of the concentration camp victims! The only difference being they were sad having size zero and the women now are happy to be one... but further research is going on in this field and will update all on their kind once i finish!

I thought of writing this blog in the interest of all those unsuspecting men who otherwise would lose their Sanity in such a dangerous company of women!
Beware and be alert..... till then...
Cheers to Life!

Indian Stock markets and My Life...

This is one part of my life that keeps life interesting for me! I jumped in to this amazing maze called as NSE (National Stock Exchange of India) about 2 years ago.. thought not a bad idea considering one of my friends had an in-depth knowledge of its working. So there on a summer morning 2 years ago i sat with an agent and went through the process of creating an account. Once that was done i thought okies i am in the casino now let's Play!
The first thing that strikes a novice like me as a hurdle is how much should i invest or rather bluntly put how much can i afford loosing..although no one likes to lose but it is a part of the gamble now is it not?
So i thought ok 6 or 10 k is an amount i could forget i had incase i did loose and hence said, let me start with 6. There are other reasons for this being a number on my good books, and those who know me well will know why!
Hence there i was on the laptop and thinking what to buy and what not to.. which was pretty easy as my friend was there to advise on this matter. The first thing i remember him telling me was dont buy anything way too costly and look for something which is traded in high volumes, meaning go for something cheap and which many people like dealing with!
Then there were some options he gave me, like some subsidiaries of Reliance Industries. I said ok and started the process of buying and as any one knows in such a gamble you always have something called as a Beginner's Luck! and i too had my share of them. I made about 3/4th of what i invested in the first week, and i was overjoyed!!!
I then said let me put more as who does not like making a quick buck?
So there i was thinking of expanding my risks and had that mind set of be ready to lose more if you want to gain more! Hence i set forth on the next episode of risk taking.. i started buying in the morning and selling by the end of day which gave me good returns but the pressure was also similar, that is HIGH! This went on for a week or so and during one of our weekend beer meet, my friend gave another set of advise, one never be too greedy and dont lose Patience! I sat on this suggestion and wondered how can someone not be greedy and make money? I was thinking about this and trading when i saw the market fly like a Eagle takes to the skies!
I now started thinking when should i sell or should i hold on it for a while just in-case it goes up more than now, and i did that grave mistake, i waited! And as you might have guessed it did not go up but came down like a meteorite crashing to the earth... although i washed my hands before i went in to the red, but at this point i understood the true meaning of not being over Greedy!
I had no regrets as i did not lose but it was a nice lesson learnt!
Then i always set targets and when it was achieved i sold off and went about happily with my affairs for the rest of the day, but there came a time when i had invested more and i was in the red before i could do a thing! There was hue and cry all over with the sudden downward movement in the markets and the World gave it a name and called it a RECESSION! i don't know what it taught the financial gurus but it taught me PATIENCE! There were numerous people who said " I told you so" and there were others who said this is not good way to make or play with money as it is similar to gambling!
Now listening to these people i always wondered, is Life itself not a gamble? We all gamble throughout our lives, and we also try to insure our gamble through Life Insurance!
But it is tough to try and explain this to people who already have made up their mind, hence never tried to convince such people.
But i had patience and hence waited for almost a year and 2 months when things started to improve and as luck would have it there was a court judgment which turned in favor of my stock! You might think the market is a sophisticated place where money is dealt with but having been in the jungle for so much time i am confident to say that Indian markets still run on the RUMORS that are spread! Imagine the Panic or aggressive buying that can be triggered when rumors are spread among 95 million people who are gambling in a single day? This can make or break lives! It is fun and very exciting but equally dangerous if you let your judgment be clouded by the rumors!
So after a year or so waiting my patience paid of and i made a handsome returns of 35% which no bank would give me during that period! I was happy and satisfied with myself and all my critics were giving me the " I was concerned about you " look!
So this is what i would say, any new business venture is good as long as you have the right attitude and the correct balance of greed and patience to go with it and a small peg of risk taking!

Indians and Italian Cuisine..

Guess what.. today thought enough of the Biryani and the Tandoori roti's I had till now in my life and went online to Google to search for something which i have never tried before...
Voila ... The first thing i find in search was ITALIAN! I said to myself that i should not take this risk for two reasons, first and foremost I was very hungry and the second and equally serious one was I hate PASTA. Now you might laugh at my being naive thinking that Italian means only pasta, but hey ask an Italian about indian food and you will see fumes coming from their ears thinking Indian food means SPICES!
So then i made my mind to take the risk this one time, and there i landed on the entrance to this Italian restaurant. The ambience was pleasant and nice. Then i sat for sometime and the maitre got me the so called MENU! I think even GOD himslef would have fainted looking at the names there! And they say Zoology is weiredest names!
Hmmm so there i was pondering what to have with complicated names buzzing about me, and there one item among them all that made some sense, and that was Chicken Steak with "alien" sauce and beans! So there it was my lunch for the day.. hence i called the maitre and asked him to get me a mixed vegan soup and the chicken steak, as my main course. After he went to fletch my order i seemed pretty please with myself for having solved the "Problem" at hand. I sank back in my cushioned chair and waited as patiently as a Student who was waiting for his results!
First came my good looking soup and i said ok one hurdle cleared. I added some salt as Italians i believe treasure salt, hence add less!! once i was ready started the devouring episode.. soon i was done with it which i did in a record time at that place, the wait started for the main course. Did not have to wait long as came the Chicken steak with beans and stuff around it and guess what there was another piece of bread along with it, Italians and there obsession with bread i would say!
But coming back to my main course it looked delicious... and as soon as he placed it i pounced on it like a drunk would on a piece of Kebabs!
I got to work on it with a fork and a knife, it was actually delecious and well done. It was soft juicy and tender and the bread and beans gave it a good add-on.
So there i was feeling full and satisfied and thinking about the unwanted tension i was taking when ordering the stuff i had..i pondered on this and smiled to myself while washing all this down with a glass of chilled coke...and the girls who were on the tables besides me also helped in improving the "Environment"!!!
Hmmm so now at-least i can say i love Italian!
Hope the last statement does not offend any political party!!! She is too old now for Christ sake!!

Chocolate and Tea....A new addiction!

Chocolate and a hot cup of tea.... that was what someone once suggested is the best combination while reading a book. And all i could say at that point of time was what a weird suggestion!

Today being a good Friday i thought why not try it before i discard it as a rubbish or outlandish idea.. and voila there in my refrigerator was my five star whom i had forgotten all about yesterday, looking at me with pleading eyes asking me to eat him with the tea i was about to prepare..
i said why break the poor fellas heart on a Good Friday :)
Hence i started to make a cup of tea which is a rather complicated process in case you are an alien in the kitchen!!
There are many ways to make tea, some put the milk and sugar and tea leaf all in one shot and bring it to a boil and call it their TEA!! i would say amateur make way for the professional before you cause irreplaceable damage to the taste buds of people you gonna serve it and yourself also!
The best way i like to have my tea is put water and sugar to boil and while it boils add a piece of ginger nicely cut and crushed.. then add the amount of tea leaves as per your good judgment, but always remember a mild tea is always the best!
cover your tea pot and let is feel the heat and the steam for about five minutes.. this would make the tea leaves to give their flavor and color to your would be tea..now once you have finished preparing the raw material for your mood uplifting Tea, time for the milk to be added.. remember not to add too much milk nor less , add such that the color of the mixture is golden brown and then you have to just wait and watch! Now once the mixture comes to a boil it is ready!
Pour your self a mug of this and choose a nice spot ! Most preferably should be over looking a nice small garden.........
and then STOP!!!
I was about to forget the poor Five star whom I had promised to free from the freezing cold of the refrigerator! i went back to my kitchen and opened the refrigerator and there was the chocolate bar happy to see me come back for him..
Then i went to the window i have in my rented home which overlooks a small garden and made myself comfortable in a chair. Then the first sip of tea was like........... nothing words could describe.. then the bite from the chocolate bar was next.. and voila i was in a new dimension of awesome TASTE!!! This continued till my tea and chocolate bar both disappeared right in front of my eyes like MAGIC!!!
There i knew this was another addiction which I had to share with other people who think only cocaine is addictive!!!
Hope the law makers don't realize this and arrest people buying chocolate and tea leaves along with milk on the same day!!!

Cheers to life!
