“Mom Save Me“

Is Someone Listening ?
This is voice of a child who wants to see this world. I am talking about Female Foeticide – One of many ill causes which are existing in current stage of human living. I always thought of writing but this time something inspired to write about it. Details about it in bottom half. Now back to the topic. This term in itself [Female Foeticide] envelopes myriads of meanings, it smacks of the fact that a girl is killed before she is born, or we can say the foetus is pre-determined to be that of a female; completely acknowledges the fact the technology is privy to this horrible crime; not to forget the effort and heart of doctors who are involved in judging the foetus and following it by abortion. And the still we call our India –land of equal opportunity and equal respect for both the genders.
The numbers in Census are shocking and are expected to give a bigger shock with next census in 3 years time. and one state where the numbers are really awful is Punjab; the land which proclaims to feed the whole India but it could not understand the harshness it is pushing the humanity into.
The land of Guru Nanak who said “ So Kyo Manda Aakhiye, Jit Jamhe Raajan ” [Why to say bad to someone who gives birth to Kings and not only kings but the whole human race] , that land is top in this crime. If you say about illiteracy as its reason, I would agree to certain extent but then again, not whole of India is illiterate.
Today despite everyone aware of the fact that Girls are no less than boys, Emotionally more attached to parents, more responsible in Society and by no means less competent than BOY Population;Still People wish to have a Boy. The probability of going for tests and abortion increases in case of second and third child and its pathetic. I don’t know when the scene gonna change and we get this vision of One India without any gender biasing true.
Today, we have Sonia Gandhi, Indra Nooyi, Sunita Williams, Late Kalpana Chawla, Mother Teresa and all are woman and everyone is proud of them and why shouldn’t one be. They have excelled and made a mark of their own in world. I don’t wish to go global on this, but I feel , we need to uproot this evil from our home, only then we have any right to say anything about it to world. When our own home is dirty, how right it is to ask others to clean theirs. The problem is far more serious than the steps being taken by government. Everyone is well aware of judgement and justice of Indian Law, by the time the cases are solved; many people have left this world.
One should be happy with the child and then should think whether it’s a girl or a boy. How wonderful a mom feels when she knows that there is a new being she is delivering. When the decision to get it checked comes, at that very moment, we should stop ourselves and question if the same would have been done, when my mother was getting born or my sister was in my mom’s stomach.
I really feel ashamed looking at the world around where respect for one gender is significantly more than the other. I wish that the steps being taken by Health Ministry to erase this crime from India speeds up and harsh steps are taken towards people who support it.

Now back to point why I wrote it ;) this week we had this Clay Modeling competition in our company and we all were given some clay to make anything we wished to in team of 4. Ours was a very simple yet giving a message kinda entry but I loved it.No points for guessing our theme.Some of creative minds dint submitted their entries but used their hands and ideas on their workstations.Check few of below.
If you blog ,then I Tag YOU to write on it and let your readers be aware of this so that message across city/state/country/continents is spread and even if one or two lives get saved after reading this, you do a commendable job in saving one life and getting her to this beautiful world .

Our Entry :)

Here I am :)

The Week That Was

I LOVE YOU

These three words hold so much importance in life.Mainly associated with the lovers or couples and romance but forgetting the fact that when somebody says I Love You , might be a close friend who would just wish to show the affection or may be the care. It might be a son telling it to mother for being the support always, a brother might have said this to a sister or a random fan of anyone who loves someone coz of some unique or special feature in some one’s personality.
But our mindset is such that if someone has said I luv ya, its always a guy to a gal or otherwise and they have something going on..I was sitting today and suddenly started wondering on the small frame of vision we all have and just like everyone else thinks.. can never think better than this.
On a personal front , I feel that had I said these words to some people, don’t know which way they would have taken it. But at least I would have not regret about them moving away from my life. Just because the gender was different, I stopped my self many times coz I feel, the message or the words would have taken a different meaning and the time after could have been different one. Even today when I see the broader picture and I want to say I LOVE YOU to many people but my soul says one thing.If you have changed your view on this.. the world is no different than it was a year ago.. so the meaning would be taken again the same way.
It was the thought which was making me think and think in evening so I just thought to write here.

But newaz, coming to mah life these dayz.. the same story continues.. the life isn’t that good but it isn’t that bad either. It was a long weekend and today there was ugadi – some festival here in southern India. I don’t know much about the festival but I know it is telugu new year day and people out here make sweets of jaggery and eat neem leaves to celebrate. Loads of shopping happens and tomorrow I am hoping for sweets of ugadi. All the three days we went out for dinner , today we went for some shopping too but I seriously consider myself a very bad shopping partner. We went at 7 , came at 9 but all we could chose was a shirt and a pair of jeans :P ….
Friday and Sunday were two finals of ICL . Indian Cricket League or ICL was complete fun extravaganza and a feast to eyes if you are a cricket lover. The fight between icl and ipl has given us great treat. As a fan of cricket , I am watching both competitions and enjoying them completely. Lahore Badshahs who were unbeaten through out lost out only in two matches at last and they were the ones which really mattered. Excellent Performance by Hyderabad Heroes and they played like complete unit which came good for them.
On other hand , Bahrain Grand Prix in Formula 1 racing, Force India really had nice race with fisichella finishing 12th. This has been best performance so far from Vijay Mallya’s team and I am really very happy to see team India pushing itself hard and soon the results will be improving. Good Luck Force India, You ROCK…
Other things that kept us busy watching news channel were new government changes and Olympic Relay in France. About Olympics Torch Relay, I have some views which I wud write sometime soon. Politics and sports not a good combination but today they cant be separated as well.
It looks like a completely sports post this time but this weekend I really watched loads f sports on TV since net was not working for past two days :P
Tomorrow I have mah regular office and the routine would continue till the next weekend comes. J
Signing off for now…

Jab We Met - My Way

P.S: This is just a copy of my previous post.
I normally take movies as time pass or entertainers which make us feel good or sometimes just pass the time we would be killing otherwise… but Jab We Met is one which made me think about it..

Jab we met – a movie which reflects many traits of my personality. I think I could see more of me in kareena’s character and many of shahid’s traits were also part of my life. The Movie starts with shahid going as fail in life to finish his life and fortunately-unfortunately gets onto the train where Geet [kareena] lands in by flashy entry catching a running train. When I was watching kareena being a non stop chatter box , I once thought how can one be that talkative and very next thought , I said ..arrey even m same way yar..
The Story goes a fun way with shahid and kareena together although shahid always looking for escape from her. From ratlam they turn out friends and there starts an interesting story. Like a typical Punjabi family, geet’s family asks her to see the guy and get married while she has some other plans to run to her bf and get married with him and live happily ever after. Interesting times and continuously moving story lands kareena running from home with shahid and meet her bf. The point where kareena is left by shahid and he returns to Mumbai to run his business , Shahid’s life takes a turn. From a serious to hyper-active shahid… he takes his company to heights and gets much more successful than ever and during the time missing kareena and completely out of touch with her. As soon as he launches his product with Kareena’s name, the family of kareena asks him to return kareena to them. Out of shock and asking for 10 days time , he gets back to manali to meet geet and ask her to get back to family. There he comes to know that that guy did not accept her and she was left alone during that time.. Shahid goes to shimla where he sees kareena and manages to get kareena back to home and in this whole time kareena realizes that in this time, shahid has taken over place of her boy friend anshuman and finally kareena marries shahid.. and there ends the story with Maujan Hi Maujaan…….!!

See I somehow wrapped up two and half hour story in few words but there is much more in the story which gives so many reflections and lessons to follow in this fun and easy going comedy movie. Here are some points which atleast I learnt and enjoyed watchin jwm

1. Be Yourself – Kareena shows how you can be yourself and enjoy life to full. Though sometimes being the non stop chatterbox , you might sound stupid, yet you would be able to have real fun of life.
2.When You’re in Love, Be complete in it- Kareena again shows the way to be fully committed in love. Even though his bf has no idea , she still has plans of running with him , getting settled in life etc..
3.Dream to Achieve – You have to dream of something and then act on it. Only if you have something in mind, you can think of going for it or achieving it.
4. Its very hard to get back the same respect and love after differences – Once you leave any space , getting back that space is a very rare chance. It might be taken over by someone or the person can refuse to put you back at same level. I can corelate this with my life where I have given enough respect for some of my friends but due to one or the other reasons have moved away or have lost that level of respect, I really think sometimes that it would be very hard for me to give the same anytime again in life.
5.Be a good Listener - Sometimes ,person on the other side can also be right. We always try to think , whatever we think and how we act is the right way to do things, But there are many times where people on other side can suggest or can act the right way.
6.Exceptional Music is always a bonus – Aaoge jab tum o saajna [my fav] , Yeh Ishq Hai [ another fav] , Tum se hi din[ fantastic], Maujan hi Maujaan [ balle balle], Chalne lage hain yeh raaste [ pretty nice] and Nagaada Nagaada [ another foot tapping number] .. good music will always help in making a bollywood movie HIT……
7. You can always like someone and enjoy it – Its not always necassery that one who you love, loves you. Not everyone can be that lucky.. but you can always enjoy being in love or liking someone. You can just like and feel happy about it. Just Enjoy in that feel..
8.Don’t Run from your house- He he.. as simple as that, Never Run from your House.. and last but not the least
9.If you are rich , need not publicise it , You might get Fake Friends.

All in All.. Great Movie,Awesome Music, Fantastic Humor , Absolutely Great Dialogue Delivery by Kareena and Shahid.. they both show great chemistry between them . Irony is that their first hit as couple comes after they break up.

Cheerz to JAB WE MET.. :)

Yeh Ho Kya Raha Hai Yaar?

yeh ho kya raha hai yar.. this question i am asking myself every hour these dayz..i am currently clueless about my life.. lol..i know how things are going but i am not able to decide whether the path is what i desire or not. Zindagi mein jitne pange ho sakte hain, i am taking them. Company mein, personal life mein..but somehow i am just keeping myself busy so that my idle brain doesnt thinks for a minute on anything. I am not able to sleep before 1 any day since last week and the only good thing that is happening is very good music which is being listened by my ears these days. I am so amazed by the kind of content i am founding on net through different sources, so pretty fine on that front. Yesterday Fools Day went passed and what a day.. A day when we try to realise what we are on other 364 days of year.Everyone just tries to be little extra smart this day. he he.. but ab har koi bevkoof hai isme to koi doubt nahi.. thing is just you should know how to make one. Loads of pranks were tried but luckily i jst escaped all of them. MTV had its annual celebrations this day. this day is celebrated as Bakra Din by them every year. Earlier the Day was presided over by Cyrus Broacha with his expert comments and ideas on Bakra plots but this time Cyrus Shahukar was the host. There were some really kewl pranks played and broadcasted. Amazing Idea of mixing news and bluffing. One where time stops was the ultimate one.. Roadies Bluff of getting Ayaz back in the show made really some brains thinking and excited about possible changes and plots of show. Anyways I saw my VCD of divine sojourn to hills, Shri Hemkunt Sahib Yatra which i went in 2005, yesterday and what a great time that was.. 70 minutes made me relive all those 7 days to abode of god. That was an amazing journey and with the same beauty was the vcd made.
About my mood, its fluctuating little more than normal but its fine. Now one can't be happy alwayz and same ways, one can;t be sad alwayz.. so trying to enjoy the moments.abhi bhi when i am writing,dimag mein ek hi baat aai

Yeh Ho Kya Raha Hai Yaar?

Where is Rupee 1??

Ok.. So Herez an interesting one for you to find out..

Three friends went to a hotel.the bill was Rs 75/-
each one contributed Rs.25/-.
the waiter took the bill to the cashier.
the cashier was happy & decided to give them a discount of Rs.5/- & said the waiter to return them Rs.5/-.
but he was confused how to distribute Rs 5 among 3 persons.
he kept Rs 2 in his pocket & gave one rupee to each one of the 3 persons.
so 1st each one contributed 25 Rs now as they are given 1 rupee back their contibution reduces to Rs 24.
they all contributed rs 24 that is 24x3=72 & 2 rupees are in the waiters pocket.
the total becomes 74 but they paid rs 75.
where is the remaining 1 rupee?

Think Zara Hat Ke..!!

So Sir Richard Branson is in India now and what a way to enter the market, Straightway targetting the right chunk of population, apna Youngistan- India's Youth. His telecom arm, Virgin Mobile ties up with already existing Tata Teleservices who operate with their Indicom brand and both have come together to give some thing to think about to telecom players..No service provider ever thought of something like what Virgin is starting with. Instead of reducing the balance of user, for every call they recieve;Virgin credits 10 paise a minute in their account. Wow so if i talk to my friend of Virgin Mobile for an hour, i have 6 rupees in my account added..and considering the youth is targetted... we can well imagine the situation of adding up almost 25-30 rupees every night they use their phones ;)
Well i haven't used this scheme and neither have any hopes of trying it as well since i m ok with my vodafone and their dog. The only thing which is restricting its popularity is its CDMA based service, so who ever is using airtel,bsnl or vodafone will need to buy a new set and get virgin mobile tarriffs to use Virgin Mobile..!! which would take some time to get such user base attracted. Anywayz cheers to this dynamic and aggressive policy being used by Virgin.
Coming on to their marketing strategy, Its hit a bulls eye. i loved both the ads, ideas, imagination,way of depicting the scenario is highly appreciated. There wasn't anything about the virgin mobile in the ad except the last line which calls you to think Hat Ke ;) . One Ad is targetting the GUYS and other one calling the GALS .Well rather than telling what is there in ad, you can watch both the ads below.

AD-1 Crossing the Signal



AD -2 I Hate Boys



So Next time round the corner you get caught by policeman or you need to plan somewhere out .. Think Zara Hat Ke..!!
