Delhi blasts and reliving Gandhi


My weekend has been going on much better than i had planned!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes i think that maybe i should stop planning! But it also maybe that because i had planned,something more than the plan has happened....goals, dreams and ambitions lead you to things that you would never have imagined before...I have started playing badminton, have already done a collage work(already put it up on the walls!), have managed to take out my mom for a shopping spree, already got a dandiya invitation and have managed to register for a Walkathon in memory of Gandhi on 2nd of October......I could not go to Dandi with him, but maybe the walk would be a little bit experience of how would i have felt had i been in the march..........But thats not all..I am angry about something too...

My blogging on a Sunday morning has lot to do with what i have read in the newspapers this morning...

There has been a blast in Delhi yesterday...I am enraged.... I feel disgusted......And i feel aghast..Aghast at how come people can become so sick as to leave a live bomb in the hands of a kid and still have the liver to run away to leave him to die...If these people think they have a reason they are fighting for, they should be ashamed of themselves....How come you kill innocent and still claim to have a value left in you???? I am sad for the kid and its family....One can look at the virtue of the child who died..He ran after them to return their bundle thinking they had dropped it by mistake....And look at how base these people were..Left him alone to die running after them on the road.... Knowing very well that there was a time bomb in it ticking away.

I have lived in Delhi...At the places the blasts that have occurred,I have been there..Sometimes shopping, sometimes visiting...Each of these incidents make me angry....They shock me too...
Violence and acts of human life destruction are no means to achieve a goal....I hope these people understand and give up killing innocent lives....especially the virtuous lives like the kid who returns a bundle to a person who has dropped it..We need more people like the kid and no one like the terrorists who dropped it...

(The white flowers above are dedicated to the memory of the boy who died in the blast yesterday....To the innocence and the virtues he represents.....)

The web of technology

My computer nowadays seems to be under some malware attack....am wondering is it some kind of bliss or not!!!!!!!

I tend to have lot of time in the evenings...no obsessive compulsive disorder of replying to mails and spending time on social networking sites. Am saving time to read up books that i left unfinished since years!!!!!!!!!!Nobody would believe that i am reading The Great Indian Novel by Shashi Tharoor since last two years!!!!!!!!!Now thanks to teh hackers and pranksters of the cyberworld, loads of my unfinished jobs are going to be finished...And since i am not working on my desktop at home, i do not carry any work from office to home too...So soothing for the nerves....

Am going to enjoy totally net and computer free weekend...The itinerary includes a morning walk, movie, workouts and some groceries too :((

Am finshing up at least one unfinished book too!!!!!!!!

Sunday afternoons


Sunday is my favorite day of the week.


On sundays, i can pour loads of oil on my head and dive deep into books and magazines i am fond of....And i am glad i have been able to do that again after a really long time. Maybe you have to miss few things in life to realize how precious they are.....

What a bliss it is have some time to quietly spend by yourself.........

Am realising this after hectic last two weeks full of travel, overload of pending work and the balancing acts of loved ones and relatives. I am rejoicing the bliss more so because am able to give my back some rest too....the couch seems heaven!!!!!!!!!Especially when you have a cousin who is in Air Force and takes you out to jog and workout for for full one hour the first thing in the morning!!! More so when i am just back from a gruelling one week sport event in the gruelling deserts of India!!!!!!

For the time being i am grateful to just be leaning against a comfortable seat......

TODAY I AM GRATEFUL TO THE ARCHITECT WHO DESIGNED THE SOFA.Bless the soul who designed such a comfortable seat for the mankind ! Much more for beings of my kind!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Distances

Am just back from a week long trip....and have absolutely no energy left to blog...


I have travelled from scroching rajasthan to a place where its pouring cats and dogs! I absolutely love the weather here..Clouds, rains and the soothing coolness...have taken few nice pics along the way from my new digicam..From now on i can use my own pics for my writings..am feeling quite happy about it....

I have withstood the heat and the rigors of the sands.The challenge of great Indian railways....Got few nice paintings (My brother keeps on saying i have turned the house into a museum!!) Have developed quite an amount of tan also i guess...

But for the time being am quite glad to stand on a ground which is not moving ! :D

Anger Management !

I am almost brewing today!!!!!!!

So much so that i have to blog to take it out of my system.I am supposed to write my CV today evening and the last thing i want is my mood to reflect there!!!!!!

I have two very good reasons to steam inside...There is lot of garbage being dumped just right behind my scenic window to soar up my temperatures every time i look out...And the most irritating part of it is, it is done by my own housing society!!!!!!!! I have been trying to request the concerned people to remove it since last one month..And finally i had to resort to putting up open letter in the premises everywhere appealing to the residents to get it removed...that gave me some solace. But bang!!! I hit upon one more discovery.Enough to destroy my peace once again!

Searching for some publications and references, i hit upon a webpage where i see one of my writings copied word to word.Without my knowledge and consent..Am boiling absolutely over it...And its a handiwork of people i know..Had given it to them for typing.They claimed to have lost it..And i find it published on the website after six months and that too without informing me..Its infuriating. Much more because the matter was supposed to be dialogue for a video film and not to be published on a webpage!!!!!!!! Its almost 3000 words long and makes a horrible monotonous read on a single webpage !

Need to give them a piece of my mind tomorrow.

Till i do that, i need to manage my anger so that i can complete my personal work and can go to bed peacefully....

I very badly need to learn to switch off my mind. At least that would help me concentrate on few better things in life! Buggers will always be around!!!!!!!!! Shutting them out sounds like a better strategy now....
