I love to write, yet I have not turned to the only place where do I write since last so many weeks or months?? I love to live free, yet my alarm always wake me up at 7:00 and after snoozing, I get up at 7:20. I have just read the blog of one of my friends and started feeling how different and yet how similar the lives have become?

But I don’t wish to make this a crib writing, instead I am looking for some solution, something positive. Fine, I am in hustle-bustle but this is me who has choosen this life over other things and I have to manage this, perfect it to the point it could be, correct the mistakes and ease out the pain. But how would it be ?

This is a guest post by my wife. She chooses to put a poem written by her -

एक दिन अचानक यूँ ही सोचा मैंने
काश कही ऐसा होता
इस दुनिया में कोई गम ना होता
कोई प्यासा ना होता
कोई तरसा ना होता
हर होठ पर शबनम और हंसी होती
इस दुनिया में सिर्फ ख़ुशी होती
हर दिल में सिर्फ मोहब्बत होती
नफरत की कोई जगह ना होती;
फिर तभी सोचा मैंने
अगर कही ऐसा होता

Happy Republic Day !
I recall to dedicate a post  on Republic Day in 2007. I would say things have not changed much or should say that things have improved by far or ohhh no …. things have deteriorated a lot…. err, am I confused? Guess, no …. let me explain !
Things have not changed much:
Things are same as they have been three years back.

We are growing steadily, being seen as world’s future economy, maintaining the recession proof growth etc etc.
There are no changes in corruption, terrorism, population, floods, all the …

Science of motivation

With recent responsibilities, I have taken the resolution to take my finances more seriously (sadly, which I have never!). With this, I have opened one more joint bank  account, applied for a joint credit card and this time, have not got with any pre-approved offers but selecting from couple of choices available. Thanks to my in-time credit card payments !
Honestly, being in US on working visa doesn’t leave much of a scope to have long term house mortgage but still there are other small loans, that I may need from time to time e.g. …

Satire on growing regionalism and intolerance in India !

Sometimes, it’s fun to make a fool out of yourself and that’s what I have been doing since last of couple of days.This damn show has just hooked me up and I am embarrassed to accept that I am doting fan of ‘Rakhi ka Swayamvar’. Guys, if you start pitying me then please stop as many share the same belief and this show has got the highest opening ever in non-fiction tele sops (More popular than both Amitabh and Shahrukh starrer KBC  !). Rakhi, we love you :- D
