Blue... :)

Blue is the color of sky and water. Blue and violet flowers symbolize faithfulness. According to an old english custom, the bride wears blue ribbons in her wedding gown and a blue saphire in her wedding ring. Tiny flowers of blue speedwell are part of the wedding bouquet .

I clicked this picture in Palampur, at a place called Neugal cafe. One of the places in Palampur where some tourists can be seen. Flowers in a shrub near the cafe..

Blogging...

2006-03-03T03:05:00.000-08:00

I have bookmarked many good blogs. I take time to read them, to give myself some food for thought or for simple pleasure of reading a good work…
I almost make it a point to go through these blogs regularly in time but just realized that I hardly see my own… and then I typed the URL for my blog and checked in…
And the topic of my last post made me realize what a lazy bone I am… It says ‘dilli ki sardi’… the sardi is long gone. It’s hot outside...
Well actually I am not a lazy bone ... I feel that reading a blog is better than writing one. Its not my fault if we have people out there writing such good blogs.. Just wanted to say to you all that you really help to get the day started... I owe you a thanks..

Dilli ki sardi..!!

2005-12-22T23:13:00.000-08:00

Getting up in the morning is the only thing i dislike bout Dilli ki sardi.. apart from that its the best time of the year. There is something very romantic about winters here. Especially this time of the month when christmas, New year n Lohri is approaching.. All of us looking forward to the bon fire parties..:).. Everybody is tucked in clothes..their pink noses.. I missed it all last year.. had gone to Kerala. But I have it back this year.. so much so that i am running a l'll fever but tht cnt stop me frm enjoying the weather out.
I'll tell u a secret.. which already a few of my frenz know.. ;).. i dnt take bath in mornings...:).. i bathe at night.. sumtimes 1 or 2 at nite n then snuggle to sleep.. subeh nahane mein lag jaati hai big time..

Ek distraught journalist ki pukaar... !!!

yeh meetings yeh stories yeh feature ki duniya
yeh insaan ke dushman, quark ki duniya
yeh deadlines ke bhookhe, editors ki duniya
yeh page agar ban bhi jayee to kya hai.

yahan ek khilona hai sub-editor ki hasti
yeh basti hai murda reporters ki basti
yahan par to raises se inflation hi sasti
yeh appraisal agar ho bhi jaye to kya hai ?

har ek computer ghayal har ek news h ai baasi
designers mein uljhan photographers mein udassi
yeh office hai ya aalame management ki
circulation agar badh bhi jayee to kya hai?

jalaa do, jalaa do ise, phoonk dalo yeh monitor
mere naam ka hata do yeh user
tumahra hai tumhi sambhalo yeh computer
yeh paper agar chal bhi jaye to kya hai?

Hegde rocks!!!

2005-11-14T11:57:00.000-08:00

I bought the debut album of Ganesh Hegde yesterday. Its called G. The guy sings great and dances even better. Also this guy looks amazingly cute in the video. The first and the last track (G and G-Mix) are the only dance tracks, the other are romantic but not slow. They have great beats and lyrics. Creates a mood where you feel like falling in love... I already have. Any guesses :) ?? yes baby..its you.. (G ;))..

Life on streets: A fairy tale?

2005-11-12T02:45:00.000-08:00

I wonder how I would be if I wasn’t the way I am. I wonder how life is for others who are not what they want to be. I wonder if anybody is happy the way they are...

Whatever of life I have seen till now.. I know its not a joy ride. I am a normal human fussing about anything I can think of. I fuss about the life I lead, the food I eat, the movie I watch, people I watch it with. Nothing for me is the way it should have been.. nothing is perfect…

And then, I look at a face. The face of a child who goes about in the streets seeking your little time and concern. The face that makes everything in my life meaningless. We have learnt how to ignore them. Many a times we don’t even realise their existence but does that really make them extinct. We can avoid looking at them, peeping into their miserable lives but can they do it ?? I look at their face and wonder what they must be thinking. What their future would be like? They are the children without childhood. Having to fend for themselves the moment they learn to walk does not sound fair. No child is different from another then why are they treated so differently.

I see all this and feel ashamed. I feel that by grumbling like this I am making fun of them.
I have sworn to myself to help atleast one of the needy child to get education and be in a position to atleast lead a decent life. This is something I can do when I become self-reliant. Till then I will atleast stop all the complaining towards life and its offers.
