Un-Wanted

Year after year I have been an active member for helping out in organising functions. During the functions it had become impossible for me to sit and enjoy with my wife and kids.

This year I was surprised and shocked at the attitude of others when I was approached for an upcoming function, where they asked me if I will come for the function, 'Come' not 'Help'!!! That everything has been finalised made me understand that meetings had been conducted without even me knowing about it. Inclusion of certain new organisers who dont see eye to eye with me might be the reason.

So now what should I take it as?? That my help is no longer required? I am actually taking that as the case. It feels insulting, after so many years of trying to give in the best for the very people who are now wanting you only as a guest. :(

Feel so unwanted.....Makes me feel I wasted my time all these years for nothing....

The Wolves are prowling on Twitter

The format of Bigg Boss is simple, put in a bunch of page 3 people who for the first few days behave as if they are on page 3 but slowly find it difficult to remain goodie goodie.

Not that they are bad. It human nature to be angry, to protest, to err.

And then the true facets which they keep away from the public are visible to all.

Same is the case with celebrities and politicians on twitter. Here they have to take bouquets and brickbats. Sometimes these brickbats get out of hand and celebrities hit back only to have more brickbats if the celebrity goes overboard in replying. A few people who come in late latch on to the fact that a celebrity has used certain abusive words without verifying the start of the conversation.

Twitter thrives and actually its thriving on criticism. Any topic will have its bunch of jokers and criticizers. There are supporters but the human nature likes to thrive on spice. There is no spice on good news..the wolves are out waiting for the celebrities for one small slip... And then they will pounce....

Essence of Marriage

Many a times we get to hear, I have sacrificed so much for my marriage...I am a compromising person...one has to keep on compromising and sacrificing to keep the relation intact.

I for one dont agree with this. I believe one needs understanding to be together. Compromise , sacrifice are trouble makers in the future, one use of this word and whatever good has been done is erased for ever.

Understanding never pops up ever in any argument, and where there is understanding the ego never come in.

Understanding and compromise may both solve the problem, but the latter is never reliable.

Baba Academy

I am actually quite impressed by Baba Ramdev’s Assets of 1100 Crs. Though I would like to own similar of more of such assets, I am not interested in becoming a BABA. So another Idea has surfaced in my head.
I can start an Institution for Baba Aspirants. Train the students on how to become a Baba!! Instead of becoming a Baba and earning, why not train thousands and earn crores ;)
The training will involve various classes including Yoga, Accounts, Public Relations, Public Speaking etc.
The course will include providing minimum 100 followers( u scratch my back , i will scratch yours – students), who will attend the the Baba’s discourse, sing his praises, If the Baba aspirants wants, his photos can also be garlanded(even if he is alive) at all his followers homes(at an extra cost though). This process should fetch the aspirant another 100 followers and so on and so forth.
If the aspirant is willing to shell out more money, than a few aspiring TV stars, out of work film stars, a few politicians can also be added to the followers list with full media attention. This will ensure more followers.

*this blog was written by me a long time back and today because of @rameshsrivats article in Outlook, I dug it out from the drafts. Its incomplete…….maybe will finish it off one day :)))) . I am posting it today to express my liking to his article in Outlook where I did not comment because I was not in a mood to register myself on a new site*

9/11

I have my own reasons to remember 9/11 anniversary.

Had a shocking experience with the Mumbai police that day. Infact got a call from home regarding the WTC crash while was at the police station.

My car stereo got stolen from my building in the evening and so went to the police station to file a complaint.

There the inspector on asking me what the problem was, pointed out to a father and son duo sitting in front of him, told me....ur stereo got stolen, these guys are here to lodge a stolen car complaint, and I am informing them that finding the car is impossible, so u better go home without filing the complaint!!!!

Was seriously shocked at hearing this but then the news of 9/11 attacks poured in, so rushed home to witness the worst ever terrorist attacks unfold live on TV, my stereo all forgotten that day.....
