Mom I miss you !

While I was looking for some motivation to get back to blogging I never thought that your absence will become a reason for me. I miss my companion and my guide. Every day I desire for that phone call which used to come at no fixed time. Surprisingly, that call never asked anything for itself, instead, it was only to inquire whether I had eaten or not. Mother is God's greatest creation. Through her, He, stays in our life and gives us enormous love and strength. 

Mom, the way you left us has created a void in our life which can never be filled. All of us remember each and everything that you have gone through to help me in my life. Because of you, buying a Pilot pen is still special for me. You were the reason for our happiness, personally I don't think I would experience that kind of affection ever in my life. Material things might bring comfort in life but in those things we shall always miss you. Somedays, I have tears in eyes and today is just another day when I am missing you . I can feel your presence all around me. We feel like you are watching me and will always be there for us whenever we need you. You have removed fear from my heart. The manner in which you gave up in my car is not letting me forget anything. It was scary. I wonder from where did you get strength to fight with a disease which never allowed you to breathe easily. I wish I could borrow some comfort for you from the almighty. Sadly you never had a comfortable life. When I look back I see only sacrifice. You are very popular among your siblings. Everyone loves you and you had special place in everyone's heart.

I wish during my busy days I could take an off to go out with you. To listen you and understand your feelings.

Few best moments of my life will remain those in which you smiled and felt good.  I wish to get one last chance to express my feelings to you and say that how much I love you.  Mom I miss you  !

Isnt it better to be materialistic?

Recently read an interesting conversation between two intellectuals. One of them was positive about being cynical. It invigorated my beliefs and along with my recent happenings have given me a wake up call. Generally prejudices pursue when mind experiences an unacceptable situation but they say wisdom lies in pursuit of high or noble principles. Mind has a compelled me to summarize experiences with certain rules and it has come to a conclusion that love is sacrifice until unless it is materialistic.A living being is vulnerable. From medical, physical to mental there are multiple reasons due to which one may disappear from your life and then a test comes. Pain is harder when there is a guilt factor and mind strives hardest to conquer.

Have heard spiritual gurus speaking of love but hardly they tell what is the cure in absence of it ? I say it is all about money. You may term it cynical, but its good to speak truth. And it does not have to be entirely materialistic as it can be a love towards your work, music and art.

Like they say that story of a man is a story of the mankind. Similarly my experiences and prejudices could match with a few of you. Let us have a big fight here !

What a Man !!!

Despairingly religions in India work in a rather disjunctive way.Transposition of power here takes place when our religious sentiments are fomented. Although Indian movies are built upon common theme but because of abundant languages still they fail in assembling the mass together .If we go by numbers then it is futile to add any more names into the never ending list of supreme powers we worship.Say thanks to FDI coming that now we have something in common.IPL is what we can boast upon, keeping the negatives behind. A religion can not be worshipped without a supremo and thus we have Tendulkar.Trust me this God has the potential to plunge the popularity of all the other mystical Gods we adore.He is outstanding and yet humble. He is merciless on the opponents and yet friendly off the field. Adaptability is His key for success, critics have never spared taking a dig on His approaches towards the game but He justified His tactics through persistent performances and by keeping cool. Accumulation of 327 runs in the IPL-3, with an impractical average of over 109 compels me to bow my head infront of this great person. His style has gained Him more followers not just admirers. Former British Prime minister was mesmerised by Him and proposed that he should be venerated as " Sir Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar". What a man .....

Come dress yourself in love, let the journey begin !

Journey has been too less for me to preach, all I do is share my views and I am bound to be erroneous, but as you may also feel after reading that it is the experience that invigorates us and not the end result. Creativity halted for many days, outside the campus life is full of lousy people, mum and dad are away as always.Tough people have become an elemental part of life...manager ka attyachar!! has become periodic. I keep wondering sometimes that was it really necessary for me to go through all the theories in the college or else I should have tread a different path for myself?...many of us might be having similar questions I believe. But in the end....who cares when two ear plugs are playing the favorite song. Nature is smart enough to maintain relativity a problem for all of us, no matter how much we try, we end up beneath some one. Ambanis losing to Ambanis , Google though being a gaint player in the world of internet facing intense competion by Bing.com, are few examples to support the view. Some where I heard that there should be a healthy competion ..blah! blah ! that is all crap , But if we remain cynical over the competition how would we reach to salvation? new mantra is enjoy the journey and if you are enjoying it no matter what you do whether it is an intensified rugby match or an altercation in your office over a business strategy, you will relish every moment of the experience. The soul of a journey is liberty, perfect liberty, to think, feel, do just as one pleases. Focus on the journey, not the destination.Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it. Given our confined bodily functions we can not foretell what is bound to happen but all we can do is to enjoy our work with friends and hard work, result is just a by product.

I do not want to be a student of lickonomics

Its been long since I wrote anything, credit goes to my job in NCR. I have been a traveler ever since I came out of my home town and hence got many opportunities to meet different people across states. Travel brings vigor to mind and made me realize that we are the most diverse culture. However there are some platforms on which we all Indians are same. It is not only cricket when we show these common traits but also in the corporate world, Soft-Soaping is one of them.It may take you to places cos it still works in winning Indian hearts, inside we all like unduly appreciation.Those who know the art to please others are some time given more preference over the others even if their performance is mediocre.I am not saying that flattery is bad and should be banned but people should not end up becoming a victim of it, sadly it does happen.We all posses special qualities to sustain in this competitive world but I do not think adulation helps after a level and it is only your hard work and talent which helps you in sprouting. As a manager I have opted for other two options rather than choosing the easiest one.

Ajab Bollywood ki Gajab Movies...

Nobody in 60s or even in 80s ever thought that one day our movies will promote voyeurism, we are good at copying, right from stories to tunes, we copy almost everything except substance.Watching meaningful movies gives direction to life and for that that one has to give away jingoism for Hindi movies, they just do not make any sense.Biggest commercial star of Bollywood believes only in dancing and making movies with heroines less than half of his age, given the number of movies we make every year, our directors have failed in bagging international awards.We are in a fudging business of entertainment where story writers say that they are catering to the demand of mass but I do not buy this argument. Teenagers,college mass and even a person with average intellect now a days can name you tonnes of meaningful Hollywood movies, some of them have done even better business in India than their contemporary Hindi movies, we surely do possess a strong appetite for movies. But all we boneheaded people get to see mostly main stream movies in bulk with same old story, filled with item songs ,violence and non-sense comedy.Unlike Hollywood we have failed to integrate the offbeat cinema with commercialism, in here good looks are so important that it may let you escape from the basics, actresses are even worse, very few of them stood for a decade in the industry.And those who tried, industry dint let them last long since it needs fresh skin to sell its filthy pan-cakes.Actors of Hollywood like Leonardo dicaprio, Heath ledger and many others have paved their path by not just casting upon their looks but also by being selective of the scripts and that is why their movies are watched across the globe.Talent and resources are plenty here but so is lack of will, among the top notch stakeholders of this industry only few really know the power of cinema.As long as commercialism hounds over art and creativity we shall not be able to craft up stories like Slumdog Millionaire, which even though was a domestic story but fell in the bag of a foreign Director who with the help of locals went on to win the Oscars.Skeptics will give number of reasons that we are better in culture and blah..blah blah ! ..but one thing is sure, movie makers must aspire big to create a place for Indian movies in the world because ironically speaking we do not stand anywhere.

Education is the only plausible way ...

In India raising voice on social issues is not an individual's right because it is bread and butter of chauvinists.We are a huge country so it is difficult for us to earn through common means therefore some of us have resorted to chauvinism and made it a business here, segments and lines are drawn where intellect has no place and emotions are God.Chauvinists need no management degree to know the importance of branding and therefore celebrities are constraint not to speak their minds. Intellectuals are in shackles or perhaps are too busy in taking orders from illiterates, such ambience makes it quite obvious that inclusive growth will remain a dream for our beloved Prime Minister.Any proper mix of monetary and fiscal policy will remain ineffective until we learn to resolve domestic issues through concerted efforts,where regionalism must not be given any hope. Naxalist and Maoist have become the greatest threat to sovereignty of our country, these are unhappy people, morning they work as farmers and late night get busy in expressing their anger by derailing trains.Such actions get relentless political thrust but now It is time to take lessons from the past.During 1930s, in Texas, Negroes were lynched and denied basic human rights, some wise men took inspiration from Gandhi to alleviate the deep-rooted hatredness for colored people through civil disobedience. In Wiley college,Texas, preachers taught their students to respond through words in various inter college debates.A belief got instilled in them that education is the only plausible way out and their weapons should be words.Negroes have received their greatest reward, Mr. Barack Obama.Irrespective of recession we shall never be able to catch up with west, as long as education is not our first preference we will continue chasing them with a tail between our legs.
