In search of Casa...

On way back from my dream land., am thinking of all the years that have gone into the making of this one trip across to the land of beaches, sun tan, party's and discovery... All excited, when I finally make it there... I am surprised to have not explored any of the most talked about events... instead discovered the unknown essence and its stupifying culture.....

My dream land when turned into reality defined serene silence over noisy party's.... Deserted beauty over crowded beaches.... the deafening sound of sea waves over the thumping music.... This 3 day encounter I had with this coastal beauty was custom made to be so by my beau.... Only to ensure that the long wait I had was worth every bit of it... And yes, I fell in love with the same man all over again...

In search of Goa..... Be on the look out for what's you than what's everyone else.....

I found mine..... Hope some day you will too! :)

Am I aware?

Is not reacting to this movement, being indifferent towards my country?

Its getting difficult to decipher the entire India against corruption movement! Being able to witness the 2nd freedom struggle (this is what its being referred to as) on the lines of Gandhian philosophy is like revisiting our history textbooks... Its overwhelming to see the kind of support Anna has been able to gather, but am still not sure if WE the people are on the streets to support Lokpal or to voice out against corruption.... How many of us have read the proposition of the Lokpal committee and the draft made by the parliament?? I have my doubts on that too... It seems more like - let's participate in the rally as its cool and its in nowadays... The movement has become a way for all of us to update our status messages and profile pictures on social networking sites and blackberrys more often than anything else... I haven't been able to find my connect with this so far... Yes, corruption does affect us! But my question is, will implementing this bill solve this problem or create many more?? My concern is that in the midst of all this noise about Lokpal, are we being made to overlook something much more grave that may be happening!!!

Hope your thinking!!!

:)

Jai Ho!

Its been really long since I have got down to writing.... Atleast one interesting incidence does occur on a day to day basis but in my world of tranquility I don't land up penning it down....

So .... Very recently India became world champions... The patriotism displayed by one and all was overwhelming.... Don't think many of us have witnessed this kind of emotion for our country before.... The semi's between India - Pak were treated not less than a kargil war... The sms / bbms / emails doing the round of the country were utterly ridiculous... It's just a game for gods sake.... I don't know if we proved how united we stand to the rest of the world.... but we definitely conveyed our sheer lack of respect for a neighboring country... It was made obvious that cordial Indo-Pak relations are a far fetched dream.... The sentiments portrayed were not healthy in any way whatsoever....

Then came the finals... The anxiety, excitement, thrill was all justified.... Our love for master blaster Sachin took our heartbeat to another level.. Every Indian around the world made it a point to not miss the game... In the crucial moments we couldn't help but close our eyes and say a small prayer... The country stood up to sing vande mataram and jana gana mana which we would resent otherwise... The winning moment got various expressions out of every Indian.... Some cried, some danced, we went mad... There was a human jam over the usual traffic jam on the streets.... There were free sweets distributed around the country.. kulfi, halwa, mithai, chocalates, fruits, biscuits.... Not one slept that night....

In the midst of all the world cup thrill, an asian country was devastated by a natural calamity.... The day it happened we all prayed... Worried... It got us thinking on how unpredictable our lives are... You never know which conversation would be your last one... That day when I eat, slept, walked, talked, .... I made it a point to thank god for everything.... these feelings also lasted for not more than a day....

Just makes me wonder how fragile we are as humans....
