I thought these things existed in stories only. Amrit sent me this link: Four months into her pregnancy, Lorraine Allard was devastated to learn she was in the advanced stages of cancer. Doctors advised her to have an abortion and start chemotherapy straight away. Instead, with steadfast courage, she insisted on waiting long enough to… Continue reading Mother!
Singing With Her Entire Body
How the dancer is singing with her body and how graceful her movements are.
Say,”I Do” the Mittal Way
I have read this article in “The Pioneer” months ago. It states, “Did you know that at least four to five weddings in Delhi equal the scale of the Chatwal and Mittal wedding every season? Just because their money is fatter than their name doesn’t mean that the big fat Indian wedding is not becoming… Continue reading Say,”I Do” the Mittal Way
To Rizwanur From a Classmate
Tanmoy has e-mailed me this post ages ago. But I was unable to merely copy paste it at my blog. Sorry Tanmoy. I will not be THAT late in future, if you honor my mailbox with your sensitive posts again. The death of this young man, Rizwanur, created a political storm and heads rolled in… Continue reading To Rizwanur From a Classmate
Woman Seeking $500k+ Earning Man
On craigslist you can put ad about anything. See what a woman was saying about herself and her pursuit. 🙂 >>>> Okay, I’m tired of beating around the bush. I’m a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I’m articulate and classy. I’m not from New York. I’m looking to get married to a guy… Continue reading Woman Seeking $500k+ Earning Man
A Husband and a Wife
All the great love stories of the world are of unmarried couples. If they were married their love stories might not have been that great. In modern times, Our busy schedule rarely permits us to nurture “relationships.” But still from time to time we come across people who have more love for each other than… Continue reading A Husband and a Wife
RJ who made derogatory comments about Nepalese could be arrested
I simply feel elated when I read this news. ‘RJ who made derogatory comments could be arrested‘ And I am glad that Indian Idol III, Prashant Tamang’s fans and locals are out to teach this RJ a lesson. What I don’t feel good about is the violence part. It could have been achieved peacefully too.… Continue reading RJ who made derogatory comments about Nepalese could be arrested
Save Me from Myself!
People always hinted at models being dumb and beautiful. Or it seems beauty leaves a person the minute she acquires some brain power. I don’t know whether its true or not. But this news, UK rejects anorexic models, raises doubt about their brain power. It seems they have to be saved from themselves. And a… Continue reading Save Me from Myself!
From Our Balcony
When I saw the plant for the first time I thought it is bottle gourd (Ghiya or Lauki) when I saw the fruit, I thought it will grow into a pumpkin. After few days I thought of it as off season watermelon but it turned out to be a melon! Amrit, displaying it proudly!
Kalam still Homeless!
What I know that there is no problem for assigning Rahul Bhaiya and Priyanka Didi sarkari bungalows. Though in what capacity / designation Priyanka Didi is living in a government bungalow, no one knows. They and their family have “sacrificed” so much for India and Indians. We will have to look after them and their… Continue reading Kalam still Homeless!

Newspapers showing Expectant faces, Fearful faces, Peeping out of windows. As if asking, Office hours had JUST begun But how could life be over? Suddenly, definitely, precisely And clinically for everyone? Expectant faces, Fearful faces, As if asking We were just balancing The morning coffee in one hand, And files in another, But how could… Continue reading September 11
Leaders?
I was listening to some old songs having the names of political leaders like Nehru, Gandhi, Shastri, Bhagat Singh and Subhas Chandra Bose. Manoj Kumar’s “PURAB AUR PACHHIM” mentions Nehru, Gandhi, Shastri, Subas in the song “Dulhan chali, haan pahen chali, Ho re dulhan chali, ho pahen chali teen rang ki choli Baagon mein laheraaye… Continue reading Leaders?
AIIMS Vs Health Ministry
When I heard news about AIIMS doctors not getting their degrees due to Anbumani Ramadoss, a Health Minister under Manmohan Singh. The current Tommy (PM) only shouts when Madamji orders him,”Tommy bark!” and never bites. His teeth were taken out by madamji to lock safely. Now it seems that Madamji has told Tommy Manmohan to… Continue reading AIIMS Vs Health Ministry
Doctors!
I am posting this from Amrit’s blog: Just read a very sad account at Mridula’s IIT-K blog and I think the issue needs to be highlighted because such a rot is present everywhere in our society these days. The canteen owner of one of the IIT halls came across a migrant laborer’s boy who had… Continue reading Doctors!
India Needs you!
I watched this news item. Its contents are more delicious and sensuous than Rakhi Sawant’s any item song. Bravo Praveen Kumar Toppo!! We need more and more IAS officers like you. Your future is definitely bright if you keep following your “respected elder” Sibu Soren ji. When you got selected for the IAS finally, you… Continue reading India Needs you!
Growing Vegetables On A Balcony
My efforts are bearing “fruit” now. 🙂 This defunct mouse should now work to restore some greenery though to a tiny patch. 🙂
Ragging
Every year steps are announced by college administration to curb the menace of ragging but it continued unabated. Why people want to rag their juniors? The equation seems a bit like mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. Since I was hounded by my mother-in-law, I will do the same to my daughter-in-law, though there is nothing personal. Just… Continue reading Ragging
Too Young to Drive and Much Too Young to Die
I have read the above line in Adnan Patrawala’s case. A spate of debate is being held on various forums about social networking site Orkut. Tomorrow if I plan a murder by using my cell phone will anyone blame Airtel or Reliance network? Should those networks be shut down because it is used by me… Continue reading Too Young to Drive and Much Too Young to Die
Relationships
Today, when I was listening to the news, ”Sanjay Dutt jailed for six years.” I felt quite sad. I remember Monica Bedi. She too had spent more or less five years in jail. Then I remember Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan. What is the matter with these people? Don’t they love their parents, siblings, partners… Continue reading Relationships
Kiran Bedi and Women Empowerment!
CNN-IBN says: “Women empowerment – the agenda endorsed and publicised as the key reason behind Pratibha Patil’s appointment as India’s first woman president – lost all merit when it came to giving India’s first woman IPS officer the post of the police commissioner.”… “a demure, non-threatening figurehead Pratibha Patil – who keeps her head covered… Continue reading Kiran Bedi and Women Empowerment!
