Sarhad Ke Us Paar!!!!

Hi friends!
You all must be wondering what is this thing on the left. well, it is the picture of a bus (beautifully bedecked) from across the border, i.e., Pakistan. This is no unique vehicle, because throughout the Pakistan part of (PoK), this is a common mode of transport, which also adds a dash of to the lives of people living there. Observe the kind of frills attached to the bus and the use of bright colours, it seems as if not a bus but an embellished belle is coming up the road. The ornaments of the bus are proof enough that its owner must really be in love with his vehicle, which is not only a source of his livelihood but also his means of existence. Do let me know what u think of it......

Mausam Mastana!!!!!!!

"Rimjhim Ke Taraane Le Ke Aayi Barsaat....." Most of the Delhiwallahs must be singing this song on Monday as weather turned a noble eye on us. Just when the Delhiites were fuming over the rising mercury, the rain god decided to bless us with a good dose of shower. Monday blues were washed off by an erratic spray of rain over various parts of the national capital even as officer-goers, students, etc prepared for their week ahead. the change was welcome and so was the fall in temperature. this makes one sit up and notice that the global warming is really making the weather behave in a strange manner. however, the mere mortals like us, who prefer to live a day at a time, would not be found wasting their time thinking of such inane topics as long as we are enjoying the weather at its best. Garmi mein sardi ka mazaa is always welcome, isnt it??? moreover, it helps us keep our cool if there is a little rain falling down outside the window as we deal with heaps of work at office (i can already see some of the heads nodding). well, that is how it should be? but, unfortunately, it doesn't. Tomorrow is just another day when we might have to brace ourselves against the scorching sun as we venture out in search of livelihood, education, shopping or, just life.......

Hi there,,, so, you are really agreed to the idea of making a difference on your own, instead of waiting someone else to do it for you? Well, that is a good start and i hope more and more people, thinking like us, come forward with their helping hand because a lone person might not be able to make much difference, specially since the time is running out. Waise bhi, thespian Dilip Kumar had said it long ago in one of the songs of his "Naya Daur", it goes like "Saathi Haath Badhana Saathi Re!!!" So, to begin with, let us all join hands and not contribute to the already burgeoning mounds of garbage around us. This simply means going green, recycling the garbage generated in our homes, using less and less plastic, saving paper, keeping our surroundings clean and planting trees. Pretty much the same old stuff, which needs to be done vigorously and with a little more commitment. Well, to my own eyes and ears, I have begun sounding like a rude teacher, taking a class (and nobody likes such a character and moreover, this blog is supposed to be fun, isnt it?), so I will just say that make a start by shunning plastic from your life, like (here i go again!) insisting on paper bags at shops, showrooms, malls. There can be many other ways to begin with, but this was the first that came to my mind and it is easy as well to start with....., so, let us all try and see, where we go from here......

Lately, i have been coming across a lot of writeups on various blogs that bring out the "not so good" aspect of life in the national capital. Ranging from absence of civic amenities to traveling on DTC buses, there are a lot of things, which can hardly be called a luring aspect of life in a metro. However, before anybody gets up to shoot me over bringing Delhi down, or something like that, let me clear the air (well, it actually needs to be cleared, ain't it???). Anyways, I was saying that Delhi in itself is not bad, no city is because a city, town or a village is as good or as bad as the people who live in it. So, in the old fashioned way of explanation, pointing a finger at Delhi would mean pointing three fingers at ourselves. (Can't figure out how???? Well, try pointing a finger at someone and you will see for urself.) The funda of going so deeeeeeeeep into this was to say that instead of pointing accusations at authorities (they give a damn about the city or its condition, nevertheless) is not going to solve the problem. So, why can't we, with our own hands, do something to clear the air (literally!!!!). What say???? let me know 'coz I am waiting to hear from u........

Hi There!!!!!!!!

First time that I will be writing something in the public domain. Although, writing comes naturally to me (sounds boastful????) I have never written on a blog before. However, it seems to be the flavour of the season these days, what with everyone from movie stars, cricketers, politicians and common people, like us, using the medium to get out of their systems what they cannot keep contained. Come to think of it, blogging really does help one get over a lot of things, without actually finding someone to speak to. Probably that is why, Aamir Khan could go "OUT OF HIS WAY" to make the readers understand how he was spending his free time with a dog called "SHAHRUKH" without running the risk of facing someone's wrath over it. Well, coming back to blogging, life is full of myriad aspects, some worthy of being written of and some not so worthy, but still written about. So, it is with this profound (dare I say) observation that I take my first step into the world of blogs and hope to have a good time here......
