THIS TOO SHALL PASS.. A source of inspiration

I chanced upon this story of HOPE and SEARCH ... Once upon a time in the era of Jewish king SOLOMON, BENAMIAH, his minister was the prey of his grumpy mood. Solomon ordered him to find a magic ring with extraordinary features: A ring which when worn, the person would become happy when sad and vice versa.He have his minister 6 months time for his search. The minister did not give up and was depressed as there was no such thing that can do this ... Incidently, he chance upon a poor merchant who was spreading out his goods on the carpet. The old merchant sold him an old ring that has just 4 words inscribed on it... When the minister gave the same to Solomon, there was a mix of two expressions on his face that of a smile and a sense of satisfaction(I wonder Why was he satisfied???) It read" THIS TOO SHALL PASS"

Irony Indeed!!!

I was waiting for my driver and chance upon to see something that seemed so Ironical.. Place: East Delhi, Aggarwal Sweets .. Features: An aunty and the Golgappe waale.. The aunt was in an angry mood as she did not receive her worth of money last time she visited this place .. and I appreciate this gesture of her's.. I mean travelling in expensive Delhi and in traffic just to shout at the golgappa waala. The story goes that she probably bought golgappa worth 30 bucks for parcel, and had those of just 20 bucks.. And she would go on and on and on.... I had just 1 thing going in my mind.."Do we shout at those politicians on face when we find that they have done BEIMAANI(Aunty's term)".. And to this I have not found an answer till date...

The Fight Within

It was the 30th of November..just another day... nothing especial.. not an important day anyways for me neither was that my/my loved ones bday or anniversary or stuff... bt that was a day for me to remember ... and I thought of penning down it on my blog.. I was in Cuttack one of the oldest city .. My parents have been putting up here for 6 years now... When I first came here I was like the 21st century has gotten back to 18th century with the help of Mmmm a Time Machine.... This place is full of temples ... Chandi temple being the most famous .. I have been visiting ctk bt have never specifically visited them.. so that Day I planned to visit a few temples.. been to 5 temples that had some historic significance and then ended up being really tired.. These visits were especially for the angel that I have -Aarna my daughter ... I was really generous that day ... distributing money to each and every temple... However then my mom said lets visit this Mazaar... Inside I was a bit hesi...

The Hiatus...

Its now greater than an year since i have written my blog or updated the same. The many changes in my life in this year had forced me to do so ... last time when a post was written by me .. I was in USA and not a mom.. Now I am in India and a MOM.. Bt now in the coming days I shall recover the loss that I have made as far as blogging arena goes... And yes I really missed Blogging...

September the 13th...

When it comes to ADJUSTING, we INDIANS are the masters...We adjust everywhere.... less space-adjusted, high inflation- adjusted , electricity crisis-adjusted .. We manage to adjust even to the vagaries of nature: flood(read: Bihar), earthquakes, and famines... We have adjusted even to the delayed justice ,politicians and corrupt beurocrats ... However, now with multiple bomb-blasts in Delhi ..LIMITS are tested.. Suddenly lots would be written about in the Media and Channels will have corrospondents reporting everything: color of the shoe, emotions of the victims etc, but the basic question shall never be answered: Will this ever end? India has been the guinea-pig of the terrorists. They perform the live experiments on us and if successful repeat their modus operandi in the other developed nations: US , UK and the likes.. It took US a 9/11 to understand the dark side of terrorism, and just another4-5 years to destroy 2 countries and eyeing on the third. However, its most important ally ...

Aamir and me

What Aamir wrote in his blog... India wins a Gold after 25 years and the first in an individual event. I was absolutely thrilled to see Bindra receiving the Gold, and I had goose bumps when India’s National Anthem began playing. What a moment! My congratulations to Bindra for his achievement. He has done India proud and given us all a moment to celebrate. I would recommend to everyone to do a google search on Indian Hockey at the Olympics. You will be amazed to read the reports of India’s achievements in the game. Absolutely fascinating. We were leagues ahead for decades, don’t know what happened after that. At this time I cannot help but remember the reaction of certain people across the country when India had lost a cricket match/tournament and people began attacking the homes of various players. How easily we forget that our sportspersons are trying their best. They too want to win. They are the ones who have worked day and night and are certainly more upset than we the supporters...
