“At the cash counter of civil hospital in the city of Lucknow, there was a spat going on. A young boy, (roughly around 16-17yrs old, clad in untidy clothes, unshaved and with wet eyes) was having a heated debate with the counter man, who on the opposite side of the window, was throwing typical hot-words. Nobody around were looking interested in the debate, but were firmly enjoying the drama with loads of enthusiasm. I was moving towards parking after meeting my relative who was admitted over there, but looks of the boy compelled me to get into the spat. I went to the counter & asked the boy ,”what happened, bhai”? He glanced & tried to figure out whether I am related to the hospital or not, when he failed to assess, he replied, “I need the final bills to get cleared but the counter man says to come after 3 pm”. I looked at my watch, it was 11:45 am, as is apparent, Govt. employees work only post lunch, in the similar fashion, a time of 3:30pm was wisely advised. Then I sug

Writer's Block "can we break this Blockade?"...asks Vinod I dint posted anything in last few days, because: 1. I was not well. 2. My lappi crashed. 3. I was upset with my galfriend going out for a movie, without me!! 4. I was not ready with some stuffs to put up here...........phew so many!!!! Actually, I am a laggard, lethargic and lazyness personified!!!! well come back to "Writer's Block"!!!! Comeon lets see, few headlines in newspaper for different places: A) New Delhi "18 year old gal, abducted and gang raped in a moving car in Mongolpuri area". B) Pune "Lady on a business conference in Lonavala, raped by the worker of Resort" C) Pune " MBA student from Balaji Society committed suicide last night" hmmmm...........interestingly all incidents were related to gals!!! sadly, in a country where Godesses are worshipped, where the source of power, source of education, source of wealth all are governed

"Paani ko taraste............" the title song in the movie Well Done Abba says it all... when you are thirsty, you understand the value of water the most.. today i saw this movie n finally said "well done Boman" certainly you are the most versatile actor in the industry in current times. now lets come to point...blank!!! Yesterday, Ganga ghat of holy city of Varanasi was shattered by an IED blast in the morning at 6:30 hrs. IED means Improvised Exlposive Device, an improved explosive which was heard in German Bakery blast case in past year. Does this means this was a terror attack?? may be yes, may be no!! But one thing for sure, the security lapses are the only big reason behind the attack... & the aftermath, blame game is on again like every incidence that takes place here. Mr.Chidambaram said something. Ms.Mayavati retaliated in her typical style. phewww........what an excuse by the secretary of state, that the warnings provided b

"aaahhhh! Yeh Dil Maange More............" a famous one liner from a well known soft drink company when amalgamated with likes of Capt.Vikram Batra produced a huge roar in the cinema hall called "Gurudev Talkies" in outskirts of Kanpur in a area called Sharda Nagar. I can recollect memories of the movie LOC-Kargill when an emotion led audience was energized with all ***** in the movie & all the one liners of the movie. Now the question arises why m i writing about some incident which occurred in 2003-04 after a well spent 6 years>? this is because of the same feel, same emotion burst that i had today. not only me, i am convinced that there must be 20 other guys with similar feeling at this point of time when i am writing all this. While writing my previous post "Silence of the Lambs", i wrote in the penultimate line: "i want to see roar around me" & this is what is happening at 10:15 pm of 29th Nov'10. I a

Have you ever seen lambs in the slaughter houses??? No? ok then i must tell you that if you have to figure out the tension, agony, pain, fear among them then look into eye of one of them.................Everything is self explanatory there. hmmmmm, why am i talking about Lambs, well i am just trying to compare lambs with humans. I am placement co-ordinator for the batch 09-11 and this is what i find in the fag end of day when results are ought to come & all aspirants sit, stand, totter like lambs. i won't say that they have pain, agony, fear in their eyes but yes, FF is there.........Fear of Failure...!!! Look what they do....... 1. keep their fingers crossed...in anticipation of some luck which can give them much sought after result. 2. Try to talk about anything which can keep them aloof of the proceedings but somewhere in the back of their mind, RESULTs keep revolving. 3. Keep sitting, standing in a certain position which they feel, can bring in so
