Twitter in the air

All October, only one thought was doodling every mind in India! The Diwali vacation! And adding to that I took an extra day off after Diwali. Now you can understand it was not my fault that I could not move any kind of work an inch further on Friday! I am just human, anticipating the whole lot of things I can do in the vacation in a bliss.

         I determinedly did not think of the working day after the vacation until today..the last day of the four(!) heavenly days. Now all the things that I thought of doing in the vacation came hitting back to me saying ‘Hehe..and you thought you would do ‘me’?..We knew you wouldn’t even start!’ .I never understood why earth keeps running around sun at P.T.Usha’s pace on holidays and why the day becomes shorter and shorter. And the horrible part…once I go back, I get smiles from all my heads, as if asking how was the extra break? What! It was one day (shortest of the year) and it is considered as a break…it is just a comma, no a semi colon, infact . More than that my guilt of not-doing-work-on-Friday dances in full frenzy now.

         How nice were school days! We get a looong vacation every summer and a holiday for every silly occasion and there were my all-time favorite ABVP bundhs . People never used to expect anything after the vacation, except for the H2 (Holiday Homework). Now, one day off and the mailbox is flooded with 1000cm mail-rain.
Hmmm..enough of complaining! Work is not so bad (is it?). Anyways, ending with a funny note (Hey, I still have 12 hours..I get to be funny).

Off I go to work!

Hello All….Updating the blog after a long time. And now i promised myself that I would pick time to do this consistently. So keep looking in here for more.

Recently, I went through this article that had the headline ‘Good News! India’s growing less corrupted’. Optimistic beings as we are, I went through it. And you can appreciate my disappointment when I saw the statistics. There is this survey called the Global Corruption Index, that keeps a count on the level of corruption in each country. They have a scale from 1 to 10 and the higher the scale, the lower is the corruption. And you know why this time it is good news for India? India made a ‘big’ leap from 2.7 to 2.8. In contrast to the index, India drooped from 71st position to 83rd position. What can anyone expect out of mere indexes. I reminded myself with a sigh that the indexes are just a reflection of what we do…Or am I being too blind to the justice growing around me?

I know, once you saw India’s rating you would only want to know one other country’s index..PAKISTAN!! (so human we are!!). I am coming to that. Pakistan stands 92nd with 2.5. Hey wait! Did you just feel relieved?..wait till I tell you the index of USA. It is 7.5 (18th).Phew!

Apart from the sarcasm, let us stop and think what can we do to increase the index.. (always figures convey the gist more than anything…so lets talk in figures too). And this is when I thought about it too! And guess what, I could not think of anything other than paying taxes correctly. I am not a government official, so no one would offer me a bribe, I am not a doctor, so I cannot ‘not’ charge the patient more than his blood. I am not a police official, I cannot ‘not’ leave a rapist with a phone call. With a blow of remorse, I realized that I cannot do anything to help my country crawl a bit high on the index. [:o]

One thing I can do. Vote for the right person. Ya, Okay..but that is only once in 5 years. What is Next? Do you think the same?

The movie telecasting the 6th book is scheduled to be released on July15th and the movie stuck to the top place in the list of the most awaited movie since the date was disclosed. I am no different!! Waiting to watch the movie as soon as possible and to get my hands on the original print as quicker. I know I will end up seeing the movie after a month its’ been released anyway. Hey, and here is the official site for HP6. It is worth clicking!!

Also, because it’s the gloomiest and darkest of all the books, it would need some director spark to bring in some brightness. The book was perfect but to mould it as a movie, it will definitely need more filmy stuff in it. And the most exciting part would be Voldemort’s childhood and everything. It is the only child character as important as Daniel and he should be showing all the cruel and devilishness of the to-be-voldemort in his face.

The twist about Dumbledore’s came as a real shock to me when I finished reading the book. I wondered how such a big twist in the book didn’t spread before. I didn’t spread it either afterwards. There, you know how generous I am!!! And the cave part will also be worth watching in the movie. It’s a hit already anyway.

Hey, and for the Tollywood movie lovers, Oye is going to blast the box office. The date is July3rd and don’t even bother to book tickets now if you already didn’t. The web page seems to always smile wryly saying ‘No tickets available’ . I hope Sidhaarth doesn’t let us down.

The other day I was watching this interview with an RJ on TV, when suddenly it stuck my mind how would I be doing if I chose doing something else in life. Not that I am not happy with whatever I am doing now nor that I want to be become an RJ (Well, then all these FM’s will not even stand a chance before my SUPER FM 420!! Lets not ruin their careers ).

Coming back to the point, now that I sit and think about it, do we really get to choose the twists and turns in our life. We definitely plan and work towards our goal, that’s there. But then as you eventually reach a significant point in your life and look back, simple things that wouldn’t have happened seem to decide our life.

You attend a marriage or go to a party and meet someone and become the best of friends for the rest of life. We forget that we might not have attended that party in the first place. It just happened. Would we give him/her a second look, if we both met at a super market? Nopes!!!

Well, this clause (‘it just happens’) seems to be only appropriate for ISHQ-VISHQ but it’s the same with the whole of life . What if you didn’t bump into that guy/girl that day at that place. Someone else might have taken the place of your life partner, as simple as that…and we say we can’t imagine existing (forget living!!) without him/her, huh?

Life is such a wonderful roller coaster,isn’t it!!! For, if it were happening as we plan, what fun would it be. Hmmmm….Now let me think, I could have been a scientist, working on the next nuclear mission. I could have been next to Sonia saying Jaya Ho Congress!. I could have been Rehman, smiling widely at the Oscar. I could have been a tribal in the jungles of Peru. I could have been chameleon thinking what color should I be trying out next. OMG! This is getting bad. I stop it.

If this has confused you enough, then I am happy. Something went as it had been planned.

So finally it is done!!!.. I have this very amazing habit of postponing things. That explains this looong period of time that flew in between my thought of writing a blog and actually creating one!!…OK, so let me start with something funny..Here I go with all flying colors..:)

Calvin&Hobbes–these will not need any uplifting words!

Well before I go further ahead, Microsoft has been a marvelous innovator all the time…But since, Windows (even though most of it is from Mac OS;) ) has all these update patches coming up..its fine and justified for the aging software of the OS, to give frustrating popups once in a while (just five in 5 mins!!)..Scroll through for some funny popups which are modified slightly ..

And we are not trying to either…:D
