Farmers vs Supermarkets

Location : India Typical Summer season :  Start: wohoo.Summer is here. bye-bye jackets Climax: when will rainy season come? this heat is too much. Cant wait for first rain smell. Typical Rainy Season :  Start: There you go !! finally rains. bring on the paper boats, bhajiyas + tea. Climax: Tired of this wet weather. Give me some sunshine. One good rainy season or 1 good rainy day - we indians tend to forget pain of entire drought season. One good Summer season or a nice weather day - we tend to forget pain of entire floods/epidemic season. But you know what - Rain or Summer - our dear farmers are suffering whole year. Why ?? Cant we have Action-item oriented log of what went wrong. Yup i agree things are improving and many people are doing much better job and actual work as compared to me writing a blog. But hey many good ideas patents have been created by a small letter / post / wishlist. a HONY page has created so much awareness and donations - i am n...

Restraint

Have you watched F.R.I.E.N.D.S ? off-course you have :D Do you love watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S.   Well i do. Interesting trivia : Do you know who played role of "Ugly Naked Guy".. It was never revealed on screen. it was same as Mr.Treeger. Well i love watching friends and humor in it.Those were the days when humor included calling someone ugly naked guy. Today you cannot include naming this character in any friendly chat/facebook post/tv serial - it will surely be called as body shaming, people will get offended, you will be receiving social media rants, open letters and lots of trolls. But honestly the humor in that serial was not at all body shaming - at least dint felt like it. People were smart to understand that calling him ugly or a swimsuit model a dreamgirl will not offend him or current set of people you are involved with. I have too many questions now.... Am i extending TV fantasy to real life or that should be the norm? Is it possible to talk to your partner...

Aishna turns 2!!

Ahh my sweet angel turns 2 today. Happy birthday dear Aishna!! Cant believe its been 2 years ...seems like yesterday when i was holding you for first time in operation theatre. A tiny little angel who could fit on my hand ( I have pic!!)  and now who is tall enough to start gas burner :P. This blog is just a reminder to her and myself that life is going to change after today.I cant call her baby anymore :( . she is officially entering into world of comparisons, benchmarks and lots & lots of milestones. But dont worry her dad & mom are there to help her and love her. Now is the time she will be officially under quiz about her physical and mental milestones. No matter how much we all wish but you cant avoid being compared. Better embrace it and overcome it. Be it a common place like garden,school or your house - it will be series of Age vs other kids vs Aishna. Life for aishna has been quite different . From giving us all a big scare when she was insider her mom ( Ankita...

Cricket + Drought + Loan = India

It is that time of year when IPL (Indian premier league) is back.Basically it is the tournament to play T20 cricket matches in India. There is a ongoing controversy over IPL matches being hosted in Maharashtra. Several states in India are facing severe drought and Maharashtra is one of them. Court case has been filed to move all IPL matches from Maharashtra - reason being too much use of water to host these matches. I must admit that i am too confused to take side on this issue. it seems logical to stop all water usage activities which can be marked as luxury.Certainly watching/hosting cricket is not a must requirement to live. On the other side issue seems to be political. By far almost everyone knows that Cricket in India is not just a sport, it is all about passion/ heroes/ superheroes / Sachin :-) . If we can achieve to set any logical example through cricket then it will be great because it propagates to majority of Indians. I was thinking of things to do in IPL...
