Magnets!! Are We?
"Un-likes attract and likes Repel"
Apart from one getting attracted to the opposite sex I don’t see any relevance of this theory of Magnets to our lives. But if we just tweak it a bit why not make it “likes attract and un-likes repel”.
This can be applied in more than one way in the way we deal with our day to day life.
If we are a set of friends and somebody has to come into your group at least he needs to have interests that you can share. I am not saying that we cannot have friends with varied hobbies or who have different hobbies. Neither am I trying to say that a person who listens to “Kishor Kumar” cannot be a friend of a person who listens to “Metallica”. I am just trying to say that there has to be some sense of liking, something which you can connect with and have a great conversation at least over coffee. He at least cannot be a complete “Unlike”. In my case he/she can’t be a Geek.
Where else do like attract, certainly it does in your thought process. Its natural that once your mind is filled with negative thoughts you end up going into a loop where assumptions are made and it attracts more and more negativity. What if ? What if not this? You are definitely in trouble if that’s the case. Same is the case when you are mind is filled with positivity, you end up with a smile always and its even reflected in your appetite and the way you behave with people especially with ones who are close to you.
With summer round the corner, I have Goosebumps and I am not at all looking forward for the next three months. But definitely this will give me more time to update my blog and be more active on the BlogSphere.
“A friend in deed is the one in need” – the modern day “Mathlabi Dosti”
PS: Shall definitely try and come up with blogs which are not as serious as my blog always is. (Nandy you will have to wait for a while)

Nobody knows the Enemy !!
According to me the real threat is terrorism and the real enemies are the flaws in our system.
I am sure there must be thousands of blog posts on what is happening currently in Mumbai, and I am just trying to make another post to tell how impotent and useless our current security systems are and will be in the future. The police men still hold sticks (lati’s) to control the public. With over 110 crore population and this figure increasing rapidly I seriously feel we need a strong defense mechanism to protect the peace and harmony in our country.
I don’t see this happening the population is exploding and at the same time number of people who are getting enrolled into the military or police is declining. The reasons are pretty obvious.
• Indian Military cannot compete with the hefty salaries which corporate pay. ( 6 pay commission has come up but are they marketing it well?)
• Work culture of military officers, as we hear more and more military officers are committing suicide year on year.
• Parents somehow never encourage kids to take up such risky options, all parents want their children to take a hefty salary and live a happy life. ( it’s the case not just with defense services but it’s the case with any other off beat profession say journalism or Politics for example)
The problem is simple and clear, the problem lies at the grassroots of this nation. We need good educated politicians first, keep a retirement age in Politics to 50 so that all the old people are washed off, they can definitely act as advisory members but I don’t see them leading the country from the frontline. Increase the defense budget, IT might be the booming industry but it’s important to have a good defense system first. Our police constables needn’t risk their lives by trying to fight RDX with lati’s.
Many things are running in my head currently, is shoot at sight a solution?? Should the government give shoot at sight orders to whomever they feel are suspected terrorist? I feel that would be the worst thing to do, I am sure people will start suspecting every Muslim and I am sure they might shoot me if I grow a beard? That would eventually make the daily lives of people worse and in turn make the terrorists happy for spoiling the harmony of the nation.
Rahul Bose rightly said in the debate in CNBC- “don’t make daily life miserable, we are living in an age of terror and we will have to live with such terror attacks instead of suspecting everyone and spoiling the harmony of the city”
People started classifying terrorism, whether it’s the rich or the poor whether its through bombs or by guns, they are eventually able to spoil the peace and harmony of this nation. Kill ‘em all . why didn’t the government hang the Indian Mujhaheden people, why are they still alive??
I guess I can keep writing this forever and ever, and keep the blame game going. But I feel its time for the real brains to start working now. Get a concrete solution to this crisis. Don’t leave it on the government they will be busy with their election campaigns soon !!
Why we aren’t as patriotic as the Americans or for the matter of fact Pakistani's are?
Why are we always the soft targets?
Is our NSG good enough?

An illusion
Is time not illusion?Why does that sound so insane?
Time is and will ever be an illusion. Do you feel you have lots of time in hand (think again)? Or do you feel you can get back the wasted time? In this illusion I have graduated from the best private engineering college in India, in this illusion I still live thinking life is still young and there is lots of time left to waste. But looking at the people around me taking up so much responsibility the illusion no more stays.
It’s a rat race! Yes it seriously is!
I was reading this book by Randy Pausch the Last Lecture where randy says “we cannot change the cards; we are dealt just how we play the hand”. Make the most of every card that’s their in your hand. Opportunity is what I would like to call it. It is not an illusion as such but it is definitely an “illusion in disguise”. It must be right next to you, right in front of your eyes, but you will have to see it as it is never there in the open. Opportunities are many but you need to know which card to use when else there is no use of the rest. Every one wants to score an Ace in life but you have to digest the fact that it might take many faults or double faults to finally get and Ace(destiny).
Fall! Learn! Win! Dream! Dare! Do! Keep dreaming! Dream On! ………

Introspection
Stop looking for answers for all the unanswered questions. Some questions are better unanswered.
“Questions,dipped in poison
Burning with seeds of doubt
Helpless I turn to the heavens
But the silence is still too loud
Questions,I will not fear them
Though I'm still so full of doubt
I'm searching for the answers
In the echoes of my shout”

A Biography of a Man in middle of a freeway
I was having a great time, with my eyes tightly shut and my legs totally stretched, all the worries in mind have taken a back seat and I was relived for just that moment. Sounds of many a vehicle on the road were like rhythmic music playing to put me into sleep, many more sounds were hitting my deaf ear but were not reaching my brain, I guess god has given me this special gift he made me a deaf man. I am really thankful to him, but that is not it he has given me many more things in life, I shall talk about them later. So I was deep asleep, it was like heaven in middle of a free way suddenly I felt my face going cold and me waking up to a splash of water that was thrown on to my face. I woke up and now I think I could figure out all the stuff for which I need to thank the almighty, I already thanked him for making me deaf, now I guess I need to thank him for making the left part of my body dysfunctional, for making me beg all day and sleep with an empty stomach, for making me deprived of basic necessities. The only thing I hate god is for giving me something which he shouldn't have, he gave me a pair of eyes to see my miserable state, he gave me a heart to feel bad, a stomach which makes me hungry always, and a brain which activates all the above mentioned things.
snap clicked near my house with my mobile.
Perhaps this is what he was feeling when he was sleeping in middle of the road. without even realizing what was happening around. Until a man (who fortunately happens to be my driver) woke him up and put him at the other side of the road.Our car had broken down otherwise we would have seen him and ignored him to be a drunkerd lying on the road.
