Generally the topic i write on is not spontaneous but decided by the top news stories / happenings of the previous day.
whichever story moves me becomes the next post ... ofcourse the content is purely spontaneous and my own creation ...
so may be reader (supposing some one does turns up on my blog, and actually reads it ) can identify with previous days major headlines or happenings just by redaing the posts ... of course there are times when i write about things i hate, which shows how my mood was that day ...
or the post titled 'of marriages', which tells the reader that many of my friends are getting married ...
so my blog tells the reader bout my mood, which news affected me and my life and what i think about all these .. which pretty much is the purpose of bloging .. so mission sucessfull,
Also starting today shall put in "this day last year "or TDLY and try to remember what i did last year on the same day ...
TDLY 31 May - 3rd day of induction at TCS, met one of the VPs or fought Ritu Anand for compensation .....

of things i hate
just continuing on my views from the last post where i spit some venom regarding EK & KJ, lemme tell u a few more things connected to entertainment that i hate ...
1 & 2. ofcourse Ek & KJ brand of soaps and movies respectively
3. Shahrukh & Hrithik movies (especially if made by KJ :-)) , just for the reason that both of them play the very so perfect guy, and the movie is sans any logic ... the sweetness of their characters is too much , also is the stupidity
(imagine Hrithik senior is in US for 2 years, he calls his mom, ho tell hism "beta, tum baap banne wale ho !" now if hrithik senior was in US for two years how can he be a father, even though he has super powers.....
4. rahul dravid - the wall , as a one day player (point to note is that i love him as a test match player ) ... the moment india loses 2-3 wickets he very convinently forgets the existence of runs (singles)... what is the use of best technique if you hit straight at fielders and score 1o runs in 35 balls in an ODI
5. Aishwarya rai as the potrayal of ultimate beauty ... shes beautiful but to call her the ultimate beauty .. please there are so many other beautiful and talented actreses... Bipasha for once looked too hot, even for Aishwarya in dhoom 2
6. Himesh as singer/ actor - yes he was good in aashiq banaya, and few other songs, but please no overdose ... and ok for once we shall agree on him singing so many songs but please please please.... dont show him on TV .. why cant we have akshay and Katrina lip singing "humko dewaana kar gaye " on screen, why do we need a bearded , stiff himesh crooning all over .. atleast give our eyes a rest if not ears
just a few things thats i absolutely hate and any one who watches TV / movies with me shall vouch for the vulgar words i have for the above .... then again these are my personal views about these people and the way they titilate my irraitating veins ... (ya the word is titilate )

of K factors
it was very irritating to watch ekta kapoor in conversation with karan johar on Kofee with Karan ... its not that i am a big fan of kofee but sometimes the guy does gets interesting combination of ppl ... but yesterday it was pathetic .. it was a total arse licking show with EK , KJ and three stooges of EK .. aka Ram koopr, Hiten tejwani and Ronit roy ...
First of all, both EK & KJ take thair audeineces to be fools and dish out highly emotional, non sensical, sans logic, and impractical stories, all cast in great mansion,s filthy richness and slik sarees... and if this not enuff both admire ecah other to the limit of insanity ... ofcourse they do... coz they go to the same numerologist who gave them the fascination with 'K'...
anyway to get three stoges along with the queen was absolute bull shit, coz no employee will say negative of the employer that too on television & on her face .. may be KJ would have been better off with some reality show producor or sidharth bose producer of KBC to tee off with EK..
anyway few intretsing tit bits ..
1. Age of Ba : 200 + years
2. EK doesnt stop those old serials with dragging storyline coz she believes that ppl associated with them will be unepmloyed ... hay whay about employing them in new drag serials of yours...
3. The way the 3 stooges paid regards to the queen when they entered the set
4. EK's rolling of eyes and atitude of "i rule it all"
5. KJ's chanting of i love you and Ek's reply of love you too baby .. it was all too corny
6. the way Ek announced some rahul khandelwal to be an ass, coz he revolted against her
6. ofocurse the way i shifted to Biggest looser watching fat ppl slug it out on treadmills and found it better than Ek-KJ story ...
moral of the story : TV is now used for only english movies, reality shows, cricket, F1, football and most of all for weird animals and insects hunting, mating , and sleeping on Nat geo :)

of personal tolerance
i have talked about how intolerance if growing at macro level for Indian society ... but then each society is made up of people.... so it doe simply that intolerance is also increasing at individual level ....
people are becoming more n more assertive n aggressive .... the time when one used to think twice before uttering words is long gone .. today its all shoot from the heart concept .. some may argue that it is good that no one hides his/her feelings but brings it out in the open .. but for me things are quite a bit different ...
i always believe that every1 has a strong reason to react the way they do ... a person steals for hunger/ need, even kleptomaniacs have urge to do something exciting or own something better or sheer hormonal imbalance that causes them to lift others valuables... the issue is how reasonable we find other person's reasons ....
For Britishers, Indian revolutionaries were terrorists coz they didn’t find the blood shed as reasonable whereas for India, it was quite reasonable ....
All these examples are quite heavy stuff aint it but the fact remains that the moment u place urself in other persons shoes, things become better , at least the gravity of the situation reduces.. ur anger subsides ... works many times for me ...

yahoo in its quest is offerings earch from hand held devices... cool isnt it ....
the scene is hotting up .. with lots of moolah for making everyone is aiming for that sweet spot No 1....
Wonder what Altavista, etc are upto?

of being an Indian
last few weeks have been very disturbing for me in terms of the happenings in our country ... read this
1. Reservation politics is at its peak
2. Delhi PM says Biharis should not be coming to Delhi
3. Karnataka bans Women working in night shifts, says Kannadigans hould get preference in IT sector
4. Non Marathi students taking Western Railway exams are beaten up
5. fight between SGPC & Dera groups
6. hue & cry over hindu gal marrying Muslim Guy
7. Pandit performs cleansing at temple post visit of child of hindu male & muslim female (ofcourse this was cited coz the Hindu male was a minister ..)
and the list goes on ...
All these indicate just one major factor.. the social Intolerance brewing in india... at one side the world is becoming one global village with free movement of people across nations (atleast thats the idea)and on other side we are dividing ourselves on basis of region, religion, sex, caste, color, creed etc etc
Yes the politicains are to be blamed for the divide & rule policies but then why are we being lead by them??? every one just shrugs off their shoulder by saying "i am not one of them" but then contributes equally to the cause ...
Here is my two pence on how each one of us is breeding this menace ...
As soon as a baby is born, he or she is given a name.. a name that is a hramless entity but also a surname that divides him/her from other...
The child is knowingly or unknowingly fed that he is different from others in terms of his religion, caste, region etc etc .. i mean look at this .. every child would know that he/she is a Hindu brhamin, not only that but he /she is a koknasth or deshaj or some brahmin, marathi speaking from the Vidarbha or Marathwada region ... or a shia muslim from UP..this would just put in seeds of discrimination in him / her,
No where does a parent instills that the child is an Indian .. the primary fact that will seed tolerance in a child ... Why do we need to tell a child what his region, religion, caste etc is .. if today we refarin from passing this information to next generation probably in 15-20 yeras we will have greater social tolerance ...
Why cant we get away with surnames or have a common surname like 'bharti' or something ..
that will be practically impossible ...isnt it .. to distinguish 1 billion + people on the basis of first name alone....
so heres the idea.. do away with names.. just let every indian have a number .. a 10 or 15 digit number that will be his/her name, ID, social security number, phone number, PAN number, ration card number, Voter Id number... any damn number needed for identification. You punch in your number and all your details are available through the system ... It will require a single databse , will be easy to maintain and will remove the primary source of intolerance .... No classification needed except the fact that you are an Indian with a number tagged to you .. the idea is nascent but cn de devloped for refinement.
It will be a bit distastefull but imagine an India with everyone living in harmony ..
