DDDDDDDirect Dil se !!!! :-)

Life has been so damn hectic over the past few weeks that Christmas came as a welcome break for me to do the thing i love the most.... " sleeping" : ) Been a while since i blogged too...got so much to write but hardly any time on my hands.Nevertheless let me begin by wishing u all a Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Be alert.Party safely and please don't drink and drive..... Colors has come out with a new serial called "Uttaran" that gets aired from Mon-Thurs at 10 pm. The name sounded catchy, so i decided to give it a try.Better than watching some stupid reality show i tell u! Anyways, its been a couple of weeks and i still am following the show.The show's all about a beautiful relationship called "friendship" between a wealthy landlady's daughter and her servant's offspring.The innocence of both the girls is a delight to watch.The sheer warmth that the landlady's child exudes , casting no inhibitions whatsoever to play with ...

MUMBAI UNDER SEIGE… It’s been 29.03 hours since the initial terror attack on Mumbai began and yet we can see no signs of the violence abating. Each and every news channel is screaming itself hoarse and repeatedly show casing as to what is transpiring at “THE TAJ”, “THE OBERAI” and the “NARIMAN HOUSE.” My heart goes out to each and every person and their near and dear ones who have been taken hostage or trapped in those buildings after more than a day. The feeling of death lurking around the corner surely is making a day seem like eternity for the hostages. Try hard as one might, one cannot empathize with the family members of those held inside these buildings. Imagine repeatedly being shown ghastly images of various parts of the building set afire, not to mention instances of hand grenades being thrown and to top it all successive shots of firing , fully aware that your loved one is somewhere inside probably battling for his/her life…. It’s 2.30 am now and all I can do is think of what...

A couple of days back i was in for a rude shock whilst leafing through the pages of the TOI.In bold letters were emblazoned the words.... " Load shedding to be further increased to maintain a balance between the deficit and its demand"..... which made me shudder involuntarily.Already reeling under a five hour power cut i wondered as to how on earth were we; instead of moving ahead and finding alternative measures for generating electricity; actually managing to go back into the yesteryear .... An era in which mankind lived in the dark sans electricity.This lead to me fervently hoping that the govt pulls through on the Trust vote. 22/7/2008 6 .15pm ----- I switch on the news channel hoping that we are through the deal...only to find the parliament in total disarray... not to mention repeated images of some M.P's holding stacked bundles of cash alleging that the UPA has bribed some of the other constituency contemporaries for the trust vote.... By ...

Return of the ....whatever.. ... heyy!!! i am back! Recharged and rejuvenated and revitalised........ err,this looks like a pharmacy clinic ad....neways after my graduation examinations i have had the time to pause and see the direction i am going in at present ....and the one i shud actually be goin in.Frankly speaking..they are as different as chalk and cheese....so i have decided to do a lot of things differently from now on... & i guess i better do them fast coz the next month or two is gonna be a super sonic ride.My acid test's gonna begin now( Inter examinations in nov of Chartered accountancy)....and to put things as a matter of fact i ain't doing any justice to myself :) wait.....i just remembered that one of the things i decided to do differently is , to spend lesser time on things not causing an increase in my academic performance.n i think blogging/orkutting wont lead to any kinda increase in my performances under any circumstances.so the shutters are gonna be pu...

After what seemed like ages I picked up a book and decided to go through the gist to ensure it was eye candy material filled with humour on a sultry Monday afternoon...... I turned to be so very wrong...It so turned out that the book was the very opposite of being Eye candy material yet it was so articulately put...soaked with heartbreaking yet inspiring facets of life that I ended up reading it front to back in a span of three hours.. The book I am talking about is "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini... Does the name ring a bell??? For all you book worms out there i am sure you would have read the best seller "The kite runner" a few years ago penned down by the very same author.. Well I didn't at that juncture and A Thousand Splendid Suns was my first book by the author. What makes this book a compelling read is the way Hosseini pens it...so very soaringly lyrical yet so very devastating and heart wrenching... set on the topography of a poverty strick...

Okies... I am back now with a vengeance.. a new found urge to pen down all this verbal diarrhoea that's been built up within me since the past few weeks.... ; ) U know I had been grumbling previously because I didn't have the time to do anything as I had to study! But shockingly it has been a good 15 days past my examinations... and am still so busy that I haven't found time to compose my thoughts and translate them onto words.... You must be wondering as to what on earth am I doing to be so busy ... Let me enlighten you...A few days into my exams i got a call from the principal of my college asking me for a favour.She wanted me to be a writer for a physically challenged girl who was very intelligent and smart ; pursuing a Masters in Management from the institute of Bajaj..... As surprised as I was pleased I didn't how to react.I mean common... being a writer for some one's post graduation papers!!! What if I couldn't play my part with the required amount of dil...

Resuming blogging after a span of two whole months is like one trying to sit on a cactus..i.e-- A pain in one's ass.... believe me,i have been sitting here in front of my p.c and been scratching my head since ages(the time phrase coz my head really feels sore :( and i really don't know where to begin from or what i should write upon! so all you folks out there please do me a favour .If you are out there getting as bored as i am getting sore in the head here and dare to visit my page..... kindly enlighten this female here.... waiting for some favourable and helpful replies... love vidya

Shirdiwalle saibabaa...... ayaa hain tere...... .......... ............ ...................... The rest of the line was drowned out by the din of the commuters boarding the local.I craned my neck to see the source of this rather poor rendition of the song and was in for a rude shock.A kid no more than 4 years old was swinging his hands to and fro and trying his level best to match his steps to his song.More out of concern than anything else i handed out some money as alms to be followed by many others in the compartment.Later that kid handed over his savings to its parent in the next station.The entire day that scene swirled in and out of my mind.I just couldn't digest the fact that any parent would send their tiny tot for begging ..that too at the rush hour! At a point of time wherein we pride ourselves to the fact that the government has finally woken up from its slumber and has taken stringent measures to abolish child labour in the country,not to mention Aamir's TAREIN ZAME...
