Singh is King

The nation is singing the song! And why not? We have seen a triumph yesterday for our nation. The Trust vote has gone in favour of the government. N-deal is about to happen on a fast track!

I do not claim to understand all about the N-deal, but if it means that we are edging towards a No-war strategy, I am happy. If it means that we are setting example for the world to drop weapons and take up peace, I am thrilled to witness it. So kudos – Mr. Singh! I feel comforted by the fact that we are now looking forward to "building" as opposed to "demolishing". It is heartening to see that we are being lead by a man who is intelligent, composed and cool. All said and done, it is time we woke up to reality and look out for educated leadership. I am impressed by the dignity that the leader of "Ayes" displays. Full star to you Mr.PM !

Talking about stars, I am struck by the fact that a certain actor is also riding high on his lucky stars. Hits after hits in last two years, packed stage shows, acting with the best looking heroine of the day and the nation singing his song. Keep it up Akki! Way to go!

Reality Show

Yet another reality show - Halla Bol!

Bachao! Wachwa re wachwa!

There was a time when we wondered if the Humlog and Buniyaad would have any competition. Then came the Saas - bahu sagas. Every channel tried its best to dramatize every permutation and combination of the saas-bahu relationship... As we panted after the twists and turns of the serials, we saw the first Indian Idol emerge.

From then on started the race for reality shows. Today I witnessed yet another show. Anglicized Marathi put me off! Wonder what the die-hard Marathi manoos say to this show?

All I want to say is that, may be the dancers will rescue the show. The only saving grace of show!

Water Locked or..???



Nowadays I feel more restless than ever. I feel like this fort, locked yet not! Holding many things inside and dealing with increased awareness. Yet free and enthusiastic, looking out at the vast ocean and raring to conquer new horizons!

The increased awareness brings both joy and pain. The joy of knowing and being myself! The pain of being helpless at times .. helpless as those around me find it difficult to adjust to the change in me. Its happened gradually for me and yet its too fast for them. And it all boils down to "all this thing you are doing with behavioural science" .. :)

Anyone find that comment ringing a bell?
