At the Crossroads

You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now. --Joan Baez When men and women agree,it is only in their conclusions;their reasons are always different

Of Times and Days


I am in love with this song "lag jaa gale' from 'Woh Kaun Thi' . The most bewitching and sensuous music, it evokes certain emotions and moods and takes me to another world. Aah!!;-)

Conversations and coffee, a great combination indeed. Well, in the middle of one such conversation, a fren asked me why i blog. Is it because i want to display my writing prowess (a sly smile on his face) or because i consider it a medium to opinion my views which otherwise is not valued :-(.. He was taking his usual digs at me and i decided not to fall prey to his questions. He has riled me up on several occasions and this was just another of his stupid attempts to annoy me. I looked at him and said, i blog to get famous and that i plan to quit job and take up writing as a career. Well, fact is i blog for the joy of it. I type stuff here for people to read not to display my writing or creativity skills. And i love it when people leave constructive comments , unlike those that ask me if am single or not..


Sixty years of Indian Independence. Such occasions give media enough news and all channels vie to capture the spotlight. The Hindu had an entire supplement dedicated to it. I liked all the articles , for once they were unbiased and touched reality. The editorial in 'The Hindu' is so biased and opinionated that i have stopped reading it once for all. So where do i get all the news from, ... no derth of news channels and websites offering updated news :)


India has a long way to go before it can call itself a developed nation. First, bridge the gap between poor and rich. The economy would undoubtedly do well , but for a nation to be developed, its imperative that people belonging to all section of society do well. I got this brilliant picture from India today, it speaks volumes about the existing situation




And news is that Left has decided to withdraw support from the congress govt. And without the Left suport the govt will be reduced to minority , a no confidence motion will bring down the govt, eventually.. And the worst hit will be the stock market.. :( Media will be thrilled by this news, loads to cover ;)
