Loneliness

Crowed streets, guzzling cars, buildings growing to kiss the sky.
Movement everywhere, so much speed, one lifetime passes by, in a wink of an eye
Everything seem to move together in sync with each other, But really is it so?
Look closely at our society, close enough to see into its eyes.
A chill passes down the spine.
Everyone is broken, mind and spirit.
Walking on crutches of false ego, notion of greatness, in race to prove superiority among other weak minded soles.
Its difficulty to find a true friend a companion without being confused with sexual intention.
A world where a grown daughter cannot walk with her father without being misunderstood.
Everyone is scared of heart break, they build an impenetrable fortress of doubt and distance around themselves to shield them from the society.
The same society they struggled to be a part of, what a pity, coping with this situation is worse than suffering the life of solitude.

Perhaps that’s why all of us embrace Loneliness.

Bound for 7 Lives!!!

Hey guys
I got up today and was just thinking about the whole Hindu marriage Rules.Now that I am married to this guy,I am bound with him for 7 Lives,which got me thinking........

What If I was reincarnated.One day in the market this dude saw me and remembered his past life.
Could he go to court and ask the judge to renew our marriage certificate,since we got married according to the vedhic law.How funny would that be?

And if such a thing is not possible then why do we make such promises that would hot hold up ........

All said and done, this is a great way of embarrassing somebody.LOL

Exercising the Right to Vote

A glance at the candidates contesting for election this year and I knew that had I been in India I would be thinking which one of them was a lesser crook so that a selection could be made.

Would this have been right? Or I should have for fitted my right to select the representative .

The Facebook page is full of discussions in support and opposition to voting,the single wepon in the hands of people.
SO according to me the choice is between the two ,what is worse
voting for a bad candidate or letting a worse one rule by not voting?

WHat do you think?

What if Sita .........

Throughout the Ramayan ,Shri Ram's character has been decorated with such beautiful composition that one cannot help but fall in love with him.All this greatness all this praise even after so many centuries,he lives in our heart and his message in our soul.Shri Ram was a model Son,student,brother,King but was he a model husband & father.I guess when one is perfect in many areas some areas do get neglected.

Sita who was not only his wife but the reason for his success on the otherhad was not done that much justice by society.She was praised as a great wife as a great mother but I want to appreciate her as a Great women.

She left the riches and comforts of her life and followed her husband in exile,when she had a choice to stay.
When Shri Ram had to put together an entire army to fight the mighty Ravan ,Sitaji was fighting him with nothing but her own strength.
Ravan was a great rich and powerful king.If Sita said yes to him she would have enjoyed all the power she could want and Shri Ram would have lost everything without fighting the war.Its was Sitas strength,sacrifice and resilience that was the reason of Shri Ram's victory.
When Shri Ram rescued her from Lanka she was made to pass thru the Fire to prove her purity ,she could have refused since it was an attack on her character but she chose to follow for her husband's respect.
After all these sacrifies also Shri Ram sent her away when she was pregnant because the society did not believe her innocence ? Even at this point she listened without complaining and left without disrespecting Shri Ram.
People talk about Shri Rams sacrifices,his pain but Sita's dedication and sacrifices are considered to be something that is expected from a women.

Our Society today is a ugly sequel of Ramayana where weakminded and evil society expect women to be Sita's and keep making sacrifices many a times against their will. A women's greatness ,her character is measured by her sacrifices and her endurance to pain.The more a woman endures pain and disrespect ,sacrifices all her wishes and will for other and almost negates her presence on this planet , her position rises to the one of greatness.On the other hand the moment she fights for her place ,rights her existence she becomes a "Mahila Mukti Andolan Activist" (literally a Woman's Liberation Fighter).Why do we women have to fight for any thing,does our existence in the evolution process of this planet not guarantee us a equal place in the society? This plight of women is not only an Indian problem but a general world issue give or take a little.

I wonder what would have happened if Sita had said "No" to the Fire test,would so many young and innocent women have not been burned in the name of "Dharma".

If she would have not left when Ram Asked her to due to society , could so many women have been spared from being treated like furniture by society.

Lastly if Sita would have married Ravan ,Could Ram become Shri Ram?

The DMV Ordeal

Well after having driven in India for nearly 10 years i was pretty confidant that I would have no
problem in securing the DMV permit.My confidence hit rock bottom when I did not get it the first
two times.Finally third time was a charm for me and am now a official licensed(licenced in British
english) driver for the state of California.

What surprised me was the first two times I drove perfectly and the third time made all the
mistakes in the book !!!

I Guess the new air freshner in the car did the trick!!!What Can I Say?

Look out ppl I have started driving!!!

To bolg or not to blog

I have been facing this dilemma for such a ling time ,finally today I gave in.There r no rules to my blog ,I will right about any thing that comes in my mind-fiction ,non-fiction ,my life ,ur life,fight with my husband or why the colour blue is not green.

Life is bits and peaces of memory scattered thru time.Memory is tricky if its not serviced every now and then its lost ,whats funny is that its lost within us, the brain.I dont remember every moment of my life and its my believe is that none of us do.So if we cant remember all the time we spent on this planet Can we really say that we lived for X number of years?May be biologically yes but if I dont have memory of most of those days then do those days count?

I sat down one day and tried to remember my past,day by day,could you believe I got like a few days and the rest was just incidences here and there.I remember my dad coming home after 10 months sailing at sea,the day when I first rode a bicycle,walking back from school with my sister when our rickshaw driver did not come and stuff like that.
But that is no way the total of the years since I was born , so I infer life is not really the total number of years I existed but about the moments that I "lived ".

So my blog is all about me and my life and my thoughts that I would like to share with you ,one place on earth where no attention or consideration needs to be made about the 2nd party,which is both responsible and liable for reading the content on this space .

Cheers!!!
