India v/s America

Again read somewhere on orkut:


An Indian is having his breakfast (coffee, croissants, bread, butterAnd jam) when an American man; chewing gum, sits down next to him.
The Indian ignores the American who, nevertheless, starts aconversation.American: "You Indians eat the whole bread?"
Indian (coolly): "Of course."American: (after blowing a huge bubble)"We don't. In America, we only eat what's inside. The crusts we collect in a container,recycle it,transform them into croissants and sell them to India."
The American has a smirk on his face.The Indian munches on... gives a cold look but did not reply.The American refuses to take the cue and persists: "Do you eat jelly with the bread??"Indian: "Of Course."
American: (cracking his gum between his teeth and chuckling). "We don't. In America we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels,seeds,and left overs in containers, recycle them, transform them into jam and sell the jam to India."

The Indian puts his coffee mug down...looks straight in the American's eye and then asks: "Do you have sex in America?"
American: "Why of course we do", the American says with a big smirk.Indian: "And what do you do with the condoms once you've used them?"
American: "We throw them away, of course."Indian: "We don't. In India, we put them in a container, recycle them,melt them down into chewing gum and sell them to America!!!

Who do i blog for ?

as a newcomer in the world of bloggig ... this question has been in my mind from the very moment I thought after reading the blogs of anshul and anand .. both of which were special in there own wayz ....this was again raised by another of my lately found chat frnds .... when I told her that I must right somethin spicy now ... after all that introspective stuff .... she had asked me ... That means u rite for ppl?
well lemme try and answer these questions .. which are probaly the toughest ... as questions asked to oneself are the most tough to answer ... for the simple reason that u cant lie to urself ....another reason why introspection is the most important self analysis
'a public diary' (kudos to phoenix !!!) is probably the best phrase to describe a blog ... now why do we need a public diary .... is it a public display of emotions ...?
earlier when i first heard of blogs ... sopecifically when my BSP rep kejri had told me to write an article on that ... i was like wot ??why shuld one put ones life in public preview ....
well my own answer to that is its not puttin ur life under public perview ... it is another way of introspectin wid the ppl as an audience ...an audience wid an opinion ... an opinion which may not be rite necessarily ... but all the same will lead to some fruitful arguments and discussions ...blogging is a beautiful platform to let loose ur inner desires .. ur wishes ... ur fears ... ur apprehensions
that also ans the question over the statement ....
plz comment it encourages me
a blog widout readers wuld just become a private diary ... loosing the benefits of all ur thoughts ...a platform for discussion widout discussion ....
and last of all I have 2 very selfish motives for blogging
1. Improve my english ... i wanna.... no sorry want to be catting 2. Increase my typing speed

An eye match

I boarded the metro for union station washington dc ... or should i say i boarded the eyes of that beautiful girl in the green dress ...I sat down on the seat ... my eyes sat down in hers ... sitting opposite me but quite far away ... let us say on the coach was this damsel wid blonde hair .. and beautiful green eyes ... wearing a polka dotted skirt ... which unfortunately was quite upto the kness ..
p.s. the average skirt length in the usa in summers is the miniskirt ... so a skirt upto the knees is a quite long skirt ..

At first our eyes just grazed pass each other .. but that was not enough .. I decided to be naughty .. I continuosly stared into her eyes wid a smug expression .. an expression which meant that I know you'll look the other way ...However I realized that this is not India where the bhartai nari is supposed to be sharmele ...lol ... excuse me girls who consider themselves to be very modern and forwardlooking yet still look away when a guy stares at u ...

Hence I was in for a tough eye match with neither side in the mood for relenting .. eyes did look the other way .. but only for a galnce .. again to stare at each other ...

a strange kind of enjoyment filled me ... to flirt wid sum1 totally unknown in a strange land .. that too without a word...i thought of a one night stand ... however my mind promptly reminded me of my committments ... and after all the journey and the anticipation of the reward is much more important than the reward itself !!!
I was reeling in such thoughts when ...


the climax .. her winning streak .. SHE WINKED !!! ... it wasnt just CHECK it was straight CHECKMATE !

She winked and I lost ... firstly coz I wasnt sure that she actually did it .. so I didnt wink back .. and secondly coz by the time I realised it when I saw her laughing it was too late ... quite dissapointed I gladly realised that my station had come .. quite surprusingly I also saw her getting up ...decided that it was my chance to get back I let her go ahead of me ... up the escalator ...
the escalator was abt a 5min journey ... (im not exaggerating ...its really long here )...

and during those 5 min my eyes were constantly on her.... she turned and caught my eye ... and quickly got away .... she got the message ..U WON BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN IM LOST

and then in those thoughts of that girl in the green dress I boarded the bus for home ...

The older generation ..

what i write now esentially is an introspection into our relationship ...here our refers to ppl of my age group .. with the older generation ... more specifically grandparents

so first the prologue ... why this post

i dont know abt others .. but atleast i feel it is so difficult to stay wid ones grandparents .... and here when i say stay .. i mean for a longer durationof time ...

this question also is linked with a more traditional question of indian society ... joint family or nuclear family

given the prologue .. now the case

we've all seen and sympathised in so many hindi movies when a young couple wants to move out of the family home and the parents are pained ...

we all think that we'll never abandon r parents at any stage in life ..

we also think that we'll take gr8 care of them ...

but in reality ... lets see the situation wid r grandpaents ...
there are times when u critcisize ur parents for actions towads ur garndparents ... hope im not being confusin ....
they r times when u wish that ur grandparents were'nt there at taht particular moment and they wouldnt spoil ur programme ...
this can be seen in the lite of a smaal event like just eatin out ... where usually grand parents dont wanna eat out

its a big issue indeed ... and one of the greatest weaknesses of old age is i guess that old ppl become rigid

RIGIDITY IN ANY SPHERE OF LIFE ANY TIME EVEN IF SUPPORTED BY VALID LOGIC IS THE GREATEST WEAKNESS A PERSON CAN HAVE ....

this is one great truth i have learnt in the past few dayz ... even if u r right yet u r rigid .... u r the looser in the long run ...

Introspection – All About Life

this is something i had written in my about me after my first year after an academically disappointing second semester.

The winds of misfortune, the tides of frustration ,the storms of disaster all go against the unsheltered, harm the unharmed, torcher the untorchered.....all test your patience and perseverance ... such is life ... IS THIS LIFE ???
What is the very aim of life ... the meaning of existence ... the use of this life span..................?

I’m in search of this universal truth ...searching ... searching for some kind of solace …some kind of peace of mind... some kind of aim in life.

But I believe in searching with a smile...with optimism….. with hope …. with love.... with light ... in my heart so as to be happy ... but is my happiness the only thing.... its all a matter of questions.... unanswered questions.... answers of which I’m yet searching .....

People come and go in our lives. And then we think how genuine was our relationship with the person. More fundamentally a doubt comes that how genuine was the person ... his laughter... his comments... his actions.

Hence I am at a stage now where people around me are having changes in attitude ... actually they always have changes but now im realizing them and thinking about them. Hence it is a quest to find out the reality of a person who you think is your friend.... but this quest is a near impossible one coz human nature is highly complex.......

I never say life sucks...
It is just at some times that you loose the direction of living and then you sit back and think … again think about the purpose of our life... our existence…
People who say life sucks ...have seen yet nothing in life to pass such an obscure decision.
50 years down the line- say it and ill believe you.

Till then the magic lies in rediscovering yourself... your potentials...your capabilities... your shortcomings
And with these shortcomings and potentials you have to make the most of your lives … keeping yourself and all around you happy … cause till we come to any certain answers there is only this feeling of high that happiness gives us which gives us the purpose of living life…

so much to think ... a thought in this unthinking world

there is so much to think ... so much to wonder... in all those free moments one gets out of life .... and some not so free ones ...

the not so free ones first .... the times when u r supposed to work like now ... yeh u just feel like wondering ... thinking abt just anything ...but man being a selfish creature only thinks abt himself ... and even if u do abt others ... only in the same selfish way ... in a way that gives u pleasure ..

Wot does one do of this thought ? Call it day-dreaming ?? or just future planning ? there is no ans .. only qns
qns very fundamental in nature ... qns abt life ... qns abt love ... not questioning the existence of either ... just the relevance of both ...

there are many such qns but i shall ponder over them later ..

filaal abt thoughts ... the ones in the free time?
do u think in ur free time? and also wot do u think ... abt the girl/guy who passed by .. or the indian cricket match ... or abt wots cooking ... like i do lol...
or more deeper qns
this is one time i feel that u must think ... as i beleive introspection and self analysis is the most weakness or strength a person can have ?
talking of self analysis my class 10 teacher had once said that my greatest strength was self analysis ....
but is self analysis enough ?
wit it must come self improvement and self control ... which i endeavour too build ....

with this endeavour .... good day
