Money can also be offensive !

Money is just a symbol of exchange. We use money to buy labor, buy some stuffs. Money buys lot of stuff but not all. Confused? No I am not talking about love ..buaah .. That's a boring topic..  Well I will explain you with an example, I am sure my teachers are reading and hope to impress a few :P Some 10 years ago me and my family were travelling to some place in car ( I don't remember much details of our tour ). I just remember my Nana (maternal Grandfather) and my dad travelling along. There was a small girl near some toll booth giving free polio drops to children below 5. She was helping some NGO organization. She seemed 7-8 years old and looked a bit poor. Still she was doing this for fun, for helping people with a big smile on her face. My Nana and dad both were very happy seeing this. Nana suddenly gave her a 50Rs. note. She took it but dad says she looked offended at that. Dad said, "She was very happy doing this task. Your Nana compared her task, her work w...

Forgiveness

The following is a true incident which a friend of mine unfortunately experienced... 18 hostel friends were travelling from Belgaum to Goa on bikes to meet a friend of theirs who was apparently enjoying a holiday at her native place. It was a lively night. They were having a lot of fun riding  As they were nearing Goa, they saw a Ktm Duke (bike) with the speed of 120 km/hr arriving from the opposite direction (on the wrong side of the lane) nearing. The first 8 bikes quickly scattered away from the plausible collision. But the last one wasn't so lucky. Ami and Priyam got hit ... Ami was out cold lying on the ground with some nasty bruises on face and hands . Priyam's right arm and leg took the hit. But he wasn't thinking about his pain, nor did he feel anger towards the boy who did this. He didn't even take a look at who was riding. He just ran beside Ami . He was scared as shit. After some 20-30 mins, the police and the ambulance came around and took e...

Thumbs Up !

My grandpa cant see . He suffers from Mecular degeneration from past 20-25 years . Day by day it gets worse . From past 5 years he has turned partially blind . It is an expected hereditary for my dad and myself .  Few days ago I took him to barber's shop . Its my job , taking him there every couple of months , taking him to doctor , taking him for a walk , guiding him through the roads . He places his left arm on my right shoulder and his right one holding a stick . Everyone knows the condition of Mumbai roads :P I have to say " slope ahead " , "small step " ,"cracks on road ", " wait car coming " and so on ... Live commentary . So as I was taking dada home from barber's shop and speaking " small step ahead .. 1.. ..2 " , a guy called out .. I don't know who he was . Never saw him before . I thought he might be calling someone across the street but once again he shouted " HEY BRO .. " and I looked at him ...

The cheeky comment business

Throughout our school ,college and any sort of classroom we all aspire to be known by our cheeky comments . We all want the people around us to laugh at what we say in class and look smug . You may be the most introvert person in the room , the most studios , the most obedient or the smart one but being known as the cheeky commenter never ceases to be out of your mind. You might have certain groups in your school of 4-5 . Maybe more , maybe less... but everyone does have a group . The one who can crack jokes aloud gains attention and everyone else in that group is overshadowed by him/her . Well I had some pretty good memories but the memory which makes me smile the most and makes me wish if only it was me who would have said that was in 7th grade... There were 5 of us in the group ( No names , they shouldn't feel so important .. hate you guys for being so busy  ) . One of them was given the title of most notorious boy in 7th grade by many teachers . He was bit outspoken ,...

Bollywood : Stardom = Good actor

For a country obsessed with its film industry that produces over a thousand films every year , Filmfare awards have been a symbol of excellence . was started to appreciate talented actors . Actors such as Gurudatt , Raj Kapoor , Dilip Kumar , Bimal Roy ,  Amitabh Bachchan and many legends got their name and fame from here . They got recognition , better films to sign . And it all changed in 21st century ...  Industry has been plagued with credibility issues and poor taste . Its hard to think of a year where masses and classes came together to applaud Filmfare jury for being fair for its choices . We understand that there will be disagreements when it comes to winner but as long as deserving artists are nominated , there is hope . Unfortunately , hope is not a word we associate with Bollywood awards. While there are always rumours going around about how these awards are "earned' , we would like to believe that Filmfare is as legitimate as they come. This is single mos...

The one-sided Lover

What is the definition of love , well the perception changes with each generation and the people who live in it .But why do we always talk about the romeo-Juliet , the lailas-majnus , true enough their love was unmatchable but still it was a thread that was held on by both the sides . Romeo did have that exclusive chance of holding Juliet's hands and looking into her eyes and the feelings were mutual .  How about we talk about the love that never climbed up the relationship ladder and languished at the bottom . Does that mean that love wasn't worth it ? Did it fall short in its magnitude ? Yeah it did fall short but only in its commencement ,But it was as cute and deep as any . One sided love as it has been generally referred to as is actually the definition of love .  Looking at her from a long distance , trying to catch a glimpse of her while she walks past you taking care she doesn't see you watching . Secretly taking care of her and making sure she never ...

#PrayForParis

This was one of the best thing I have ever read on fb .. I wont change a single word in it or correct any grammatical error . Isobel Bowdery : you never think it will happen to you. It was just a friday night at a rock show. the atmosphere was so happy and everyone was dancing and smiling. and then when the men came through the front entrance and began the shooting, we naiively believed it was all part of the show. It wasn't just a terrorist attack, it was a massacre. Dozens of people were shot right infront of me. Pools of blood filled the floor. Cries of grown men who held their girlfriends dead bodies pierced the small music venue. Futures demolished, families heartbroken. in an instant. Shocked and alone, I pretended to be dead for over an hour, lying among people who could see their loved ones motionless.. Holding my breath, trying to not move, not cry - not giving those men the fear they longed to see. I was incredibly lucky to survive. But so many didn't...
