26/11.. & an year after that!!!!

Hi,

Hope you all are doing good!!!!

It’s been a long time .. I was here… and I had been planning to bounce back with something.

Today being the 1st anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, I thought of writing something to give a tribute to all the martyr’s who fought, who helped/saved other’s or say our life.

A Big thanks to all these wonderful people.

Last year, I was not as usual.. so came home early and at night … as I was not sleepy.. was going through all channels… when they showed some news about a gang war between two groups in the Leopold Café. I got hooked up to the news and the news took a big U turn…from Gang war it changed to terrorist attack and soon… from Cama..Taj..trident …Nariman House..CST…how ATS chief Mr. Hemant KarKare ..was getting ready in front of my eyes… to face the challenge… then I heard after around 15-20 mins was all three Heroes Mr. KArkare..Kamte and Salaskar.. trio death…..all shocking news all together….

The whole operation went for more than 3 days… In front of my eyes… I saw the mighty Taj burning… something all mumbaities always look upto….the rescue operation in Nariman house being the toughest of all… 10 terrorists who brought on such a damage to the country in all ways… more than 165 innocent people lost their lives…

1 terrorist Ajmal Kasab was caught alive…..

This Year: Still trial going on for Ajmal Kasab.. Don’t know.. how many more years it’s going to continue… People who lost their loved ones.. still grieve for their loses…

And Has our Government learnt any lesson from it….. can we be sure that .. 26/11 won’t repeat again…It’s true that everyone fought with all their efforts to save people and property last year…but this situation could have been averted.. had they seen it coming….

Are we safe now…??

A news paper reported “The attacks, thought to have been well-planned in Pakistan, meant suspension of peace talks that were on between India and Pakistan. Since then there has just been accusations and counter claims by both countries regarding the attacks, and Pakistan’s commitment in curbing terrorism that is nurtured on its soil. The Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has said that talks between the two neighbors will not restart until the Mumbai attack suspects were brought to justice.”

Is this all what you get … is this an assurance… what do you mean by… attacks….thought..to be planned…??

Suspension of peace talks……we don’t want any peace talks… with such a country…

1 year and nothing has changed much… when will we Learn a Lesson… when….how many more such attacks would we see…. It’s true … Mumbai always bounces back… but what about all those innocent people…

Why are we still insecure?

However… in true sense… I(all Indians) would like to give my(our)  tribute to all the martyrs who laid down their lives.. and would like to pay homage to all the people.. who lost their loved ones..

Let’s pray that…we don’t get to see anything like this …again…

Happy Diwali!!!

Festival of Lights

Some memories of Valentine’s Day!!!

Hmmm….. It seems I stopped literally blogging after last valentine, so I chose this day 2 start all again fresh!!
No more lazy sessions… my inspirations also seems 2 bbbbbbbbbb 222222222 lazy 2 blog these dayzzzzz….
Well, let me wish you all Happy Valentine’s Day!!!!
Well I know,all would have their own way of celebrating today!!!! Bad thing is all time high Mumbai would be
too low with festive mood this time…..coz of all d 1st page newssssssssss(read newspapers )
But then letzzz hope today things make a bigggg difference and we all unite together and njoy 2day!!!

Talking of Valentine’s Day!!! all must b having some or the other memories of this day.
I remember, when I was in school, then I didn’t know if such a day existed.
Well, you can say I was ignorant. But these days what I see is most of the children, know most of the things.
My chote cousins,niece,nephew keep telling how valentine’s day is coming and what they are planning.

Would sound strange, when I was in 9th or 10th, many of our group friends wished us, Valentine’s day and I didn’t actually
understand what they meant.
I went home and normally I don’t approach mom or dad directly, but that day I didnt get my siblings, so I kept pestering my mom about the day and she told me about the man called Valentine and the story(in short) behind the day!!!!
But then I didnt find her explanation, much to satisfy me, so I went through the newspapers which carried way lot of info about the day
Well, I was not the only ignorant person ………………..that evening, I called up my frnds(whoever didnt know abt the day) and gave them as much info I understood then from the newspaper
So frankly speaking, I saw this day as a more of a holy day because of Saint Valentine.

And then I have a cousin brother whose b’day falls on the same day.
We all cousins made up a point to wish him Valentine’s Day and not B’day on this day!!!!
He used to get so much irritated with this, that he used to hide his b’day from his frnds
But we had gr8 fun….we still maintain the same way!!!! but now it doesn’t seem to affect him

All in one!!!! HAPPY VALENTINE’s DAY to all
Do njoy!!! give away gifts,flowers and mainly try to reach/contact your loved ones and hey last but not the least…. wish me
 

BEING IN TWENTIES – SOMETHING

I had been a lot lot lot lazy and I dint post anything …… L .but I will try to be a lot more sincere towards my blogging from now on J .I just got a funny stuff to read…and I felt it quite true…….It’s something what I noticed in my life…..and in my frnd’s too  We think and try to live in past when present is in front of us…… and when present becomes past…..still we have the same feeling…… I liked this stuff ..I hope you also would like it too…. J 

BEING IN TWENTIES – SOMETHINGIt is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn’t know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren’t exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don’t recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren’t really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you. You look at your job… and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn’t. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward. You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can’t meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you’re doing this because you know that you aren’t a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself… and while winning the race would be great, right now you’d just like to be a contender! What you may not realize is that every one reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out. We call it the “Quarter-life Crisis.”

  

Orange and not red for my Valentine ????

Disclaimer : Again a romantic story with work of fiction.

I got a rose 2 days before valentine’s, but I never thought about this before.
I took the rose not bothering at all why he was giving me one..but then I like roses..I don’t remember..if I ever cared who gave me one..I was only concerned on having them
But it seemed he was saying something…but I was so happy to see the fresh orange roses..that I never heard what he said…                               

Yes they were small & big fresh orange ones and not the red ones one give for each occasion…
White for peace…Red for love ….Yellow for friendship…what does a Orange signify then ???
May be that’s why I really wanted to know why someone gave me those roses…I thought I should call this guy and thank him well for giving me those beautiful orange roses …I don’t remember if I really thanked him then
But before I called up, I got a call from him …asking me how I felt about the orange roses…I took full advantage of the chance I got and thanked him well enough and tried hearing what he wanted to say this time (only because even I wanted to hear this time )
He quickly called for a coffee at Cafe coffee day after college ….This was the first time even when I was looking forward for meeting this guy !!
And I didn’t know the reason..??? Was his orange roses making me do this
I don’t know…but I was nervous..but why ..I had known this guy for a long time… and why was this meeting so important to me now..that I wanted to be perfect. …oh these orange roses seemed to had some magic….
It was one day before valentine’s day …and here I was with this guy at Cafe coffee day …I was late…. and he was waiting for me
I was conscious for the first time in my life and he seemed to notice that and so he tried to keep me at ease…
We talked about every bit of news (which we can any time get from any newspapers ) …but still that changed the enviornment around me
I seemed to like this guy…..but still I wanted to ask him….why he chose to give me orange roses…but I never got a chance..But really those orange roses had done some jadoo on me….I was listening all the time and not talking..which never happens
Finally, our coffee mugs were empty and it was time for us to move ….he offered to give me a ride to my place and I immediately accepted it..
When we reached my destination….he told me he was flying tonight to delhi.I knew somewhere I was upset….but why…I never really ever tried to think what others felt for me..I tried to be normal and wished him Valentine’s day in advance and a safe journey….but all this time…some unknown feelings were coming up and were telling me to stop him from going tomorrow.
I quickly went back home..not because I wanted ..but because I wanted to see him off…from my window..I looked at him ..hiding myself in between the curtains …oh no he is going… should I stop him…but why should I ??
I looked at the orange roses..they still looked fresh…I had neatly kept them in a flower pot with a little water in it..to keep them fresh…
Are you doing all this with me??….I felt like asking the orange flowers which kept looking at me …

Tomorrow was a big day in college…As usual I would get a lot of red roses…and also would give away a lot of them to my friends …
But I was not able to sleep. I kept thinking about this guy.I knew him from so long…he used to stay in our colony..but we were never friends…but we used to meet eachother in some or the other occasions..and I always shared just a hi hello.
He shifted to delhi along with his parents sometime back..which I never knew.But I remember I had asked someone about his disappearance..He had come here for some work and was returning back.Oh no, I even didn’t take his email id..I really felt bad about this
I overslept and got up at 9.00..but my college classes was at 10…so I quickly started getting ready forgetting everything what I had been thinking off.
I reached college intime…met the same friends..same day…same roses…
Finally I was happy the day ended and started off for my home…Someone called me up….and I was in no mood to take any more of Valentine’s day celebration…I looked back to see him walk upto me with a bunch of orange roses..I was happy as well as surprised to see him…what was he doing here why didn’t he go…and why is he back with one more bunch of orange roses….
He quickly wished me…and gave me the roses….but this time I wanted to hear what he wanted to say….
“I know you want to know..why I am here …because I love you and had been loving all these years but I never had the courage to come up to you and express my feelings ..I always tried to be with you..but it seemed you never noticed me ..but today I couldn’t go without telling you ..what I feel for you..and I know one expects Red roses on a Valentine in place of Orange …well according to me Orange signifies friendship & love and for me both your friendship & love is precious and important. I don’t want to lose either of them.
Slowly he said “Would you be my Valentine ?”
I didn’t know if I heard properly..because I was waiting for him to tell this and I shouted with joy  “Yes…Yes“

                                      
                              Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

Where has time gone ???

Hi friends… long time…back again….
Well for long time.. 1 reason was …. I wanted all of u to read my story and comment …. kidding!!!
Well,reason was ‘I didn’t find time’ .

This clause is something  I don’t understand myself.
When I look back to my childhood…then this word was never in our dictionaries ‘I didn’t have time’ .

Where has time gone? where ?
Well…we will come to that later.
Let me tell you something I did some time back on a weekend & I am happy for that.
I was coming back from church (our church is quite far away ,we come and go by auto , but today while coming back I didnt find a Auto , so I started walking to the main road which is 5-10 mins from the church) .I had almost reached the main road when I heard someone giving a quick ‘hi’. I turned back to see one of my close pals from my school…whom I had never met after school becoz she shifted from our place and we some how could never stay in touch.
We chatted a long time there itself …………
I was so happy to see her…she added quickly ‘chal come home, it’s quite near, you just have to walk the same way you came here “ofcourse if you have time“‘
‘If you have time’ question started moving in my head, besides walking all the way at around 12:30 afternoon made things difficult for me. I was in two minds
- 1 was ‘take her mobile no, call her & plan to meet (which planning itself would take weeks ) and take a auto, you have lots of work to be done before your weekend ends and then mom dad will be waiting for lunch’
-2 was ‘comeon you met her after so many days, walk a little, other things can be done later also, abhi go meet uncle , aunty ‘
Well I opted for the second option and I am happy I did that.
We talked all the way about our school days, about our school friends,about our current state.
At her home, aunty was there so she too was happy to see me after a long time,
We all had a good time.In time I got up coz I knew at home mom dad would be waiting for lunch and luckily I got a auto from there too
I was quite happy to have gone with option 2 , this made me think ….
Do we really have no time or our priorities have changed ?
I know most of us have a busy schedule …………most of us spend most of our life in office……..   but still…..is it just our busy schedules that eat up our time or something else
What do you think ….Do we really don’t find time ????????? Where has time gone ???

First post in 2007

Newyear 2007 seems to like yesterday and see here is Feb…
I just didn’t notice that 1 month passed off and I still don’t know how was this month for me ….the start of 2007
Blogging was bad … I didn’t take any pains of writing any article
But I hope I come up with something good enough to post here !!!!
Last year was fine and I am happy that we did “Another year almost passed by ” …this will keep us track off the good and the bad times we had all the year…..
Newyear was good… I was planning to go to pune as always and celebrate Newyear there with my friends…but then finally celebrated it with family and mumbai friends….
I hope I blogg something soon enough….anyways Let me know how was start of 2007 for you all??

Again a good one!!!

Hi friends…
Hope all are doing fine. I had a bigg thanks giving holiday here…..
so thought off writing something !!!!!
I thought of again switching to some articles….

Recently I saw a hollywood movie ‘Jack‘, it’s quite old movie,released in 1996 and I had seen it before,but then I had these feelings in mind and couldn’t express it …but today thanks to wordpress and my wellwishers who made me open a blog  …..I am able to express it here.
I was just going through all channels as usual and I came across ‘Jack‘ and as the movie was just beginning, I thought of watching it. 

‘Jack’ was released in August 9, 1996 and the lead role -that’s Jack is played by Robin Williams.
‘Jack‘ is a fairly entertaining sentimental comedy.

‘Jack‘ is born as a premature baby and hence he is fully tested to know that he suffers from a genetic disorder that causes him to physically age four times faster than a normal person.His cells multiply 4 times than the normal multiplication.

Now ‘Jack‘ is 10 years old, but he appears to be a forty year middle-aged man who has the brain and innocent eyes of a 10 year kid and his parents look still younger than him.
Fearing ridicule from the outside world, Jack’s parents have kept him home and he is taught by a private tutor.
But Jack does not seem happy, because he wants to go to school, study with other students, make friends.
Finally he lands up in school in the fifth grade, which is the adventure part of his life
But all children around does not behave properly with him, because all go with his appearance, but his positive attitude and kind heart wins hearts of many and he passes of as a old old man …but with many many friends of his age.

One can never doubt ‘Robin Williams’s acting skills, but the things I liked was, the theme, the brain behind the movie.
It’s a normal movie….certainly we come across mentally disabled children, who are adults but think like a kid…
But can we think of a problem where a kid looks like a aged person ?
This shows how their scope of thinking is so wide….and we have a lot of boundaries to our thinking.
We too need to break the boundaries and think big..this movie was a example, we need to implement it in our lives.
The other thing I liked in the movie was the importance of being a child throughout your life, Jack has a small life, but a meaningful one
He remains a kid all the time
It’s a touching movie, and a good one and it reveals truths that many people don’t realise, or even if they do, they hide it from themselves and others.

Do catch the movie when you get a chance and I will catch you later.
Till then keep reading…and commenting too….

Kya Twist hai Life mein !!!! -Part III (the last one :) )

The next day Neha woke up early to go to the phone booth.
The whole night she was thinking, what she really felt for Raj, was it just friendship
or something more than that and did he too feel the same for her.
But if he felt the same, why was he behaving this way,why was he hanging around with someone else….why ?
why he didn’t tell her …why not….or is it only she feeling this way…but if I ask will it affect our friendship……oh I don’t want to lose my friend
….but better ask him rather than keeping something in mind.
She had made up her mind…she had to ask… whoever asks first ….
it doesn’t matter…what matters is I need to know…..thought she

She needed to talk to Raj….

At the other end…Raj too didn’t know what to do…he couldn’t sleep too thinking about only Neha… all the time.
Why is she not responding… why is she still so kool about all this
Didn’t she get the point….I am doing this all to get her…that’s how Rahul told me to do….

if you want to know a girl’s feeling’s for you then hang out with someone else…infront of her…oh didn’t she get it still, that we are not just friends…we are more than that….or doesn’t she feel the same….
I need to know this… I will ask her..yes that’s what I will do…
but Rahul says…shouldn’t ask girls directly…but then…
no more Rahul….It’s only me and Neha….
I will talk to her…..need to call her….

Raj heads for the phone booth too.

Neha takes the reciever…..29319….is it G.H..I mean Girls Hostel…
Neha turns back to see Raj on the next phone
Hey…..Neha….u here….oh not on the phone….I was calling you…
oh not you…I am sorry Neha.. I am sorry, she is here…..Thanks.
said Raj and bumped the handset.

Neha could not help but laugh and said….You will always be like this ,I suppose….
Oh!!! I am sorry, I was calling your hostel…..said Raj hiding his
embrassment.
‘My hostel’  ….really or ‘Girl’s Hostel’…..said Neha laughing again.

Raj was about to say something…when Neha stopped him…and said…
I too was calling you up…..Good that it’s a saturday, so we won’t
have any lectures.
Oh ya!!! That’s good…I wanted to talk to you too ….
oh ya!!! about Rachna , I suppose…started Neha before Raj completed
his sentence.
‘Oh no!! I wanted to talk about something else……Raj started
But this was what you wanted to talk about…about Rachna…that’s
what you told me…..said Neha

Jus give me a break ok….I want to talk about you and me ….about you and me
just me and you….I am sorry about all Rachna stuff…

I did it to make you realise about our relationship…but I was wrong..I made a
mess about everything…I am sorry…..I hurt you ..I hurt myself…
I don’t know why I did something like that…may be….I like you…
not may be….I like you…and I think I love you…but I don’t how you
gonna react…but I couldn’t help myself from loving you…
I always loved you…I found in you more than a friend.
I can’t think someone else other than you…but I don’t want you
to give up our friendship…if you don’t have the same feelings…..I still will always be your friend and never will come in your way…
And I am very sorry for all this…I should never have done anything.

Raj couldn’t control his emotions….tears rolled down …
He quickly wore his goggles to hide away his tears….

Neha was dumbstruck by his words…she didn’t know how to react.
She went close to Raj…she gave her hanky…and when she saw he
was reluctant to take it..she slowly wiped off his tears…
She slowly took his hand and whispered “why did you not tell me before?”
Raj looked up..Neha continued ‘I too wanted to talk about this,
I wanted to know our relationship…I wanted to know why I can’t do anything
without you…Why the last two days were like hell for me …when
you said you like Rachna…It really hurt me…may be I never thought about our relationship..
may be I took everything lightly..I too like you…and you are more than
a friend to me…

Oh really, or are you saying this to make me happy….I can never be
happy if you are not… and I don’t want you to rush into anything..
The day you feel the same …then I will accept that you too love me
but not now, because I know, now you are doing all this because…
I am your friend…but I am sure the day will come….

Let’s complete college and then see…..and I will be always there with you,
whatever you think….said Raj….and added don’t worry about me…
I won’t go anywhere..I am with you….You will never lose me…
You can move to your hostel….oops..Girls hostel rite?

Neha smiled weakily ….may be Raj was right…may be today I didn’t
have those emotions for him…may be I will have…but why rush…we
have time….a lot of time

Yes we still have time said Raj…This brought Neha back to the present.
…What happened….movie yet to start 10 mins….in TBS…You can
start munching the pop corn till then..ok …..continued Raj….

Neha smiled… it had been 5 years …since they completed their B.E
honours together.Then He went off to U.S to do his M.S and she stayed back to do
her M.tech degree from one of the IIt’s.

They had still stayed in touch.
A guy had come home to see her….she had told Raj about him over the phone
and he had said to go forward with the proposal…but how she was not
comfortable with him at all…and how she had told him about Raj
…and how he had said…don’t you understand still then…that you
too love him….and how she had got a chance to come to U.S then
for her work assignment….how happy he was to see her…and how
most of the weekends they used to spend together….and how she couldn’t
hide her emotions …and she told him …that she too loves him…
on a halloween day...when they were surrounded with children roaming
around with their baskets for trick or treat.
He couldn’t believe what he heard….

Hey u there…..movie starting …oops these adds….oh I can’t wait anymore…said Raj
Neither can I….Let’s get married…I love you.. .

I know you waited a lot and I don’t want you to wait anymore….I am sorry for
keeping you waiting..not anymore…not anymore…said Neha tears
flowing through her eyes….

Raj smiled and gave her a punch and said….Oh my dear….don’t
you have a goggs…..
What……hey girls can cry haan…..said Neha half crying..half
smiling…in his arms…
