"Aman ki asha"

“Mile sur mera tumhara..”, the song chants like a anthem in every patriotic souls.
India celebrated its 60th Republic day with awaited processions in Delhi that were mostly engulfed with sudden dense fog and mist. This is one of the events that raise ecstatic feeling of being part of this country…the country with mighty nuclear powers, rich culture etc etc. This country has stiff history of survival despite being adjacent to rivals.

Hyderabad Blues

..the traffic is still furious, the shops are open and stuffed with thin fumes of incense sticks, the offices are packed with insensitive employees, some of them cursing and some being passionate.

Hyderabad has been blessed with an opportunity to encounter more than three ‘bandhs’ (actually I have stopped counting them after three..!!). The issue is related to the demands of a separate state as Telangana by some activists. The issue boiled up when one fragile looking guy famously known as KCR went on to fast-unto-death. Now a day this is one very common term regarded as one point mantra for instigating agitations. All the shops, malls, offices were targeted and then it was repelled strongly by government senior officials. I don’t know what resolution was devised or what measures were suggested at that time, but the only things that matter to me were interruptions in my daily routine life.

Just think about it...

Saari umar hum
Mar mar ke jee liye
Ek pal to ab humein jeene do
Jeene do

Saari umar hum
Mar mar ke jee liye
Ek pal to ab humein jeene do

Saari umar hum
Mar mar ke jee liye
Ek pal to ab humein jeene do
Jeene do

Na na na….Na na na….Na na na….Na na nana na….

Give me some sunshine
Give me some rain
Give me another chance
I wanna grow up once again

"3 Cheers"...the third one..

Finally the New Year has come. 2010..!!! It’s a nice way for celebration in view of good things that happened last year and/or in hope of better things to happen next year. Its a nice way to discipline youself by making resolutions that may or may not get realized. Whatever reasons be there, celebrations are anyways nice.

"3 cheers"...the second one..

‘3 Idiots’. The name sounded like the story of three dumb looking actors playing their part over the strings of movie director.

I must admit, this movie is the most admirable movie of the year (after ‘Kaminey’ etc). After watching this movie I couldn’t fathom that how could it’s director Raj Kumar Hirani make every movie of his so different and special that it connects to the public right from the first show. Think over his few past movies: Munnabhai MBBS, Lagey Raho Munnabhai and now 3-Idiots. Every movie is conceptualized in a different sphere.

"3 cheers"... the first one..

The stage was all set. Every preparation was made to the point and with extreme finesse. The drawing room was adorned with aesthetic surroundings. The glasses were polished to the last blot. All the exotic drinks were placed on top of wooden bar. The room was filled with floral aroma. And yes, we were all dressed up and waiting for the guests, the special guests to arrive.

This December, we had a special reason to smile. Nikita was going to embark a new journey of her life. This 26th she got engaged to Nimit. Nimit, the name that means 'Destiny' (as per http://www.babynology.com/meaning-nimit-m30.html), belong to Delhi and is working in Infosys (now you know why I am specially attracted to him..!!!). I sometimes wonders, all Mathurs and Infoscions are inter-related in some way or other. Each family has atleast one member working in Infosys. Last month Infosys declared it’s quarterly results that were…err…ok ok, sorry to digress from the topic.
