i have a friend, who is always a bit watchful of what he says, or does. Has this line - and invisible laxman rekha drawn for a fear no girl should enter a territory that she should not...
but not all girls want to enter there...some can just be friends ...
may be he fears that the girl will get attached or may be he will??? or is it that he does not want to share too much? may be he is the one who is scared of intimacy of friendship ...closed to the idea of sharing...
i fear .. if one is too watchful, scared to let people enter the inner circle of friendship...he runs a risk of being alone...
don't know about the rest...but in my case i want to tell him...
"put your guards down, and you just might find a friend to keep for life..."

the movies
where people achieved the heights they did despite the adversities...
- beautiful mind - story of John Nash, who despite his medical situation with sheer passion won a nobel prize
- erin brockovich - a non lawyer, single mother of 3...with a absolute passion of work and care for people she moved the roots of a 28 billion $ company and won one of the biggest lawsuit of its time
and finally...don't laugh...
- meet the robinson, ya the animated movie...made for kids, but inspires me too...they way he thought and followed - "keep moving forward" :) makes me move forard too....

A tribute to Capt Tarun Kumar
Lt Col V K Trihma (my Tayaji) once told his son Tarun Kumar (my cousin)
"Son do something in life that makes me proud and people know me as your father rather than you as my son"
My cousin fought at the border in Kashmir and sacrificed his life saving the nation, including you and me, he made not only his dad but entire country proud...
today...Tauji is known as Capt Tarun Kumar's Father!!!
Bhaiya, we miss you!!!

mumbai traffic...
I cannot understand, why and how the financial capital of India is left in the condition it is left to....mumbai... i stay in suburbs...there are only 3 roads in our part of the world....
Link road, SV road, and WE highway...and entire mumbai will be found clogging these 3 roads morning from 8:30 to 11 and evening from 5:30 to 9:00 ... there is no 4th route to take...once 1/2 Km away from home took me 1 1/2 hours to cover...can it get any sadder?
Worst is...to move from east to west (across SV road) there are just hand full of connections made...and that too...good enuff for only 2 vehicals to go at a time...and you will find rows and rows of BEST buses, autowala's and our private vehicals fighting their way into it...why can't this connectivity be made better? i dont know
despite my indicator to take left...and when i am about to take it...auto's , bikes, cycles....will happily over take me from left ..can they not see the indicator blinking and the car turning? and when i am about to move, three girls will come giggling crossing the road taking their own sweet time, in no hurry that they are holding fleet of cars ... i helpless listen to the honking of the vehicles i am holding,wait for the girls to crawl at a tortoise speed and then move again...
and if this is not enuff...the rains will do the rest...the handful connections i spoke about will be submerged in water...
i want to know...why can't this be sorted...mumbai is a fantastic city but the traffic sucks...lives would be so much better if this one problem is sorted...but somewhere i feel that the mumbaikars very strangely take pride in this chaotic traffic....
when u are stuck in km's of traffic jam look around to see how people react...they are as calm as ever...as if they anticipated this...that amazes me...that is not how this problem will be solved...please do not accept it, as once u accept it ...any scope of improvement stops, even before it starts...this is NOT how traffic it is suppose to be....if u think this is it...then this is how it will remain....
i was discussing this with a friend at work...and so proudly he told me..."this traffic is nothing wait for rains and u will see no one will be able to go out for work"...and his eyes were glittering with pride stating this...he did not know how sad that smile and the glitter in his eyes made me...
i wanna tell all mumbaikars...u have a fantastic city...just don't accept the traffic situation as is...coz if you do not want a change...there will never be any...

speak up...
not once but many a times it has happened that i have this great idea in my mind that i want to share, waiting for the right time to come..blah blah blah and before i know someone else has spoken about it...
in discussions when all are breaking heads for a solution , i may have an idea in my mind, but it sounds so stupid coz it sounds so basic...in fear of making a fool of myself ... i keep shut...and surprise surprise ... though basic...my solution was bang on!!! once again spoken by someone else...
my husband always tells me...most of the complex problem have simple solutions...but people are so fixed on solving complexity that they miss out the obvious...
so
lesson learnt - i will always speak up...

i talk, therefore i am…
i talk a lot, … i mean …a lot, which sometimes leads me to say things i shouldn’t. u know, when u have a task of speaking 252 words in a second…u actually cant put the phrase “think before u speak” into practice can u…?
they say my 'mercury' (the planet - it represents communication) is disturbed .. hence my communication – my blabber mouth will never stop...and if the ‘planet’ says so…i guess i have no choice :)
take it or leave it…i come only in one style…
Road not taken...can we actually take it?
"road not taken" by Robert Frost, personally a very inspiring poem, that talks about how the road less traveled by... made all the difference...tell me in reality how many of us will or will be allowed to take the road that is "not taken".
Aren't we from childhood taught to stick to the conservative rather less risky path in life? how many of us do take a chance with our studies or career even if it means to follow our dreams?
do we not stop ourselves from doing something that our heart may long for but the world around may criticize.
...and how many times has the fear of society stopped u from taking that path u knew would actually make the difference...
... it may have worked for Mr Frost when he said " I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference " but i am not sure if we all can take the road that we know will make the difference...may be that road even if we want, cannot be taken...
