The Pensive

WOW Post for blogadda.com for the FEB 22 week When I see him the time flies. When he leaves the clock halts. When he is around it is colorful. When he is around the rest of the world is blurry. When he is around my speech gets slurry! When he smiles the rainy day becomes sunny. With his burning stares even the sunny day becomes rainy. When he holds my hand I shiver even in the hot summer. When he talks, I bloom even if the leaves and flowers wither! I try looking my best when he is in vicinity. I check my reflection in any mirror which passes by. He comes and goes every day like a passing cloud. My heart speaks everything which cannot be told aloud! "I love you", I whispered in my head many times. Whenever I face him the words in my heart are like chimes. The words travel to my head and they oscillate, sink and rise. When they come out of my mouth they all vaporize!

Jim Corbett was the last place we visited before leaving Delhi. Below are few beautiful snap shots of the Tiger Reserve---- Jim Corbett. Sad thing is we were only able to trace the pug marks .  The royal tiger comes across only few visitors who get lucky for the day  :-|. Also there are fair chances to catch a glimpse in summer when the jungle is not dense and clear! Corbett National Park has captured the imagination of many with its diverse wildlife and breathtaking landscapes. The natural uniqueness of the area was recognised long ago and so in 1936 Corbett attained the distinction as the first national park to be established in mainland Asia. Its geographical location between the Himalayas and the terai, and the streams, rivers and ridges crisscrossing the terrain, present Corbett with a remarkable variety of landscapes.  This vivid mosaic of habitats – wet and dry, plain and mountainous, gentle and rugged, forests and grasslands – supports numerous plant and anim...

Originally at - " Views Paper" Director: Kamal Hassan Writers: Kamal Hassan, Atul Tiwari Stars: Pooja Kumar, Miles Anderson, Kamal Hassan , Andrea Jeremiah, Rahul Bose.

After so much hullabaloo , I finally watched it yesterday. I was told its truncated so that no scene is hurtful to any. Nothing seemed objectionable to me. Every horror shown in the movie is 100% true . The only objectionable fact is that all that is shown in the movie is a gory fact and not just made up. That is the thing which is unacceptable !I strongly believe even the deleted scenes would not have  been made to derogate any community as such ! Kamal Hassan aka Vishwanath aka Wasim Kashmiri himself is a Muslim . Like SRK says in My name is Khan , there are only good people and bad people. I am not sure how many really understand this but I felt even Kam...

Throwing some light on History of Valentines day. St. Valentine was imprisoned as he conducted weddings of soldiers(as per wiki). St. Valentine's Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named  Valentinus . The most popular martyrology  associated with Saint Valentine was that he was imprisoned for performing  weddings  for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were  persecuted under the Roman Empire ; during his imprisonment, he is said to have healed the daughter of his jailer Asterius. Legend states that before his execution he wrote "from your Valentine" as a farewell to her. [source : "Wiki" ] Ironically even today many have guts to beat you up if this day is celebrated. To people who think valentines day is the new rea son for rape, to those who don't know the difference between love , sex and rape all my hatred channelized towards them! If there was a world hate day I gues...

There’s nobody in this world who dislikes gaining name and fame. The whole country knows you. You are talked about in every house. You have to face the paparazzi. It all feels good but there is another side to the story as well. Fame comes with a tax of being under the scanner. You have to choose your words and works with caution. It’s like think twice and thrice even if you have to stay unwise! From being on the top charts in the Forbes magazine to Wankhede stadium where he became notorious due to his foul mouth during IPL matches, to the US airport where he is always questioned, Shahrukh Khan always grabs a large amount of space on the headlines of a newspaper. He does not always rule in a royal way but whatever way it is, people love discussing him, raising him to the throne or pushing him in to the river to drown. A few months back, during the IPL season when SRK showed his angst and mouthed a few objectionable words in Mumbai’s Wankhede st...

L ove  Love  Love ! Love is in the air , one says . The other exclaims it more importantly has to be in the hearts. Being the valentines month every one is in a mushy mood but does love really need uttering the three words , "I love you" and does I love you always come with T &C of "You love me too!" Our parents teach us the word love and show what love is. We step outside our homes in to the big world and see love in different sizes , shapes and types.     In the below experience am going to narrate I did not tell " I love you" to any because I really don't remember having told that actually to any!   In this snippet taken out from the dusted pages of my school diaries  a guy proposed to me and it was quite a unique experience :D. Hope you all will enjoy this. Names are changed for convenience in the blog post. I , Rocky , Meena , Manisha and Suraj were a hit group. Every one wanted to be a part of that group. Suraj was a ch...

The Agony Of A Mother Having you with me was my dearest dream. I thought your favorite place on the earth was my lap. I gave my best to you and dreamt to see you at zenith. You trap someone and it pains me to see you doing it blithely! I try to teach you to be civil and show you the right path. You grow and make me face your caustic wrath. Your acts and its  aftermath make me sick and sad. You have a disease which has no cure, an idiopathic! It’s a girl on whom you mercilessly stomped. I hang my head in shame as I did not succeed in stopping you. I wish I had destroyed you inside the womb. Your momentarily sad tomb would have given many a lifelong peace! Unfathomable was my love towards you. Unconditional was my support, and the feelings true. You make a woman your victim and feel victorious. Before you became treacherous, I wonder if I should have killed you. I never dreamt a toddler to a boy to man metamorphosis is so gruesome. I could never...

There are too many things which I wish should change and be a part of that change. We all know that  the thing which is constant in life is the change . A change for good is tough but with a continuous pursuit to change we can reach that culmination point. "Coming together is beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success." - Henry Ford-  The above words of Henry Ford apply to any thing where we put our effort for some good change! Change even if its small can lead to a better society . After a long thought  few issues came to my mind  and not just one which stand in top five. They are like below 1. The heinous rape and molestation crimes First and foremost thing which came to my mind was the recent gang rape that happened in Delhi , the uproar after that and many politicians and babas who passed their baseless opinions listing out many weird tips to be followed for the sure shot safety. I felt sad , bad an...
