2012: ANOTHER SUB PRIME CRISIS

Newton's Third Law of Motion "For every action, there is equal and opposite reaction". How true this law has been over the years and how true will this law be in the future. It is certainly, in the present, showing us that this law is to be treated seriously. "Buy now, pay Later": These words had shattered the world when the sub prime crisis affected everybody. And even now, we are still not out of this crisis. We still feel the heat of the crisis in our daily lives. But one mistake we all are doing is that we think that this crisis is nothing much more than a mistake by the financial regualtors across the world. Well, this is just the trailer of what is going to come. Rightly said by Shahrukh Khan, "Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost" (The real stuff is still left my friend).

What are we doing in the present is certainly going to affect our future. The future of the generations to come. Their generations, if they come. Well yes, some might find this little funny but this is exactly the point I want to make. We are making use of the natural resources in such a bad manner that nothing will be left for the generations to enjoy.

4 aspects of earth: Land, Water, Fire & Air; these have been brutually used by us, exploited by us. We have utilized these to the maximun extent, utilized almost everything, and now it is time to pay the 'debt'. I am using this word 'debt' because this all things are not owned by us. These are provided by the mother nature to us, generations to come. But we have used them to the maximum extent as if these belonged to us. So now when we have used something that didnt belong to us, it is time to pay back to the mother nature.

2012: many people call it the end of the world. I believe them. Not because of the reasons they give, but because of the fact that it is time for us to pay back the debt to the mother nature. But we dont have anything left with us to pay back to the mother nature. So the result: Mass destruction. Like we did, Major policy reforms after the sub prime crisis.

This is a warning signal for all of us. Global warming is increasing, glaciers are melting, the world is seeing things that never happened before. We have to take this warning seriously. Each one of us have to think about our actions. We should act now. We should ask ourselves each day when we wake up, 'How can we make the world more beautiful?'. We should act in such a way that makes the world a much better place to live in than the time we came into this world.

So we have to prove this '2012: End of the world' thing wrong. And what I am trying to say is that we should just not look at this '2012' as 'one year' to live in. Rather we should focus our acts on the Larger Picture and make this world a better place to live in.

Again ;)

Well this had to happen again. It was fun that night. Saturday night in delhi means fun. I am not talking here about every saturday night. This was the saturday when it was the birthday of Neha Prasad (my class mate, friend in PG). I had my office on saturday till 2. But i left the office at around 1.10 for the bus stand and boarded the bus. What a journey it was. Great. The details cant be shared here :).. (I dont remember anything of the journey actually).. But I am sure it was great as I was going to delhi after 4 long months.. The moment I entered Delhi, I felt homecoming.. First time I felt good coming to Delhi. I was there around 8 and I went to Sourabh Arora'a Flat. From there, Me, Sourabh, Mohak and Ashwini went to RPM Noida.
It was great meeting all the friends there after such a long time. Sakshi, Neha, Nidhi, Nitin, Ishita and we 4.. Then later came Ludovic and Mathilde, our French Friends.. It was fun.. Well in case you are wondering about the pic, again to mine & ur misfortune, there was no kiss. Just a pose for the phograph. :) .. A Sequel to "The Show Must Go On"...(Written Down: See full blog)

Love is beautiful

O my love, you are like a red, red rose... that’s newly sprung in June. O my love, you are like the melody, that’s sweetly played in tune. You are my lady sweet and kind; your face pleased my mind. I see you always passing by, for I will love you even after I die. Winters are here, but you still feel hot, we have two souls but with a single thought. Your eyes kill me as if they are like a gun; we have two souls that beat as one. If love were what the rose is and if I were like the leaf, our lives would go together, in sad or singing weather. I love you by my smiles, my tears; I love you by my breath. If GOD allows me, I shall love you better even after my death. 

THE SHOW MUST GO ON...

The day was the alumni meet in Asia Pacific Institute of Management, from where I did my PGDM i.e. MBA as many know it. 7 days b4 the event was scheduled, we were called into the auditorium and were told about the event and we were required to give our names if we were interested in giving any performance. The moment I heard this I said yes.. I am definitely going to perform Dance. Then the seniors (Gaurav sir and sakshi ma'am) told me that it has to be a group dance and we have to show them the dance in 1 day. 

I was excited and tensed at the same time. But then when i had a word with Sakshi, Rohit and Shanky; my classmates, they were ready to be with me on the stage and that was it. We practiced together in the college classrooms on a laptop ( i guess it was sakshi's) , and we were ready with the dance performance. We showed the performance the next day to everyone in the auditorium and evry1 stood up after seeing the effort we had put in. 

we were all happy. We wanted to be in good dresses too. Proper bhangra dresses would be the best. So me and Rohit went in the night to some shop in south delhi, tried our best to find something, but we were not able to locate anything. Then Rohit saw a band shop. We went there and we finally got what we wanted.

We were ready with our performance and everything was done properly. Then the next moment we heard the announcement that called us on the stage to perform. We danced our lives out.. It was the song from the movie 'Bend it like Beckham'. I chose the song: "Tere hoye sware darshan' . Just at the end of the song, when we had to go out of the stage, something happened. I was embarressed like anything. My Dhoti fell down. :) . It became lose and it came down on the stage the moment i was about to leave the stage. Rohit was behind me and he picked it up and brought up.

Evry1 was so happy with the performance or with what happened to me? I wondered. But then evry1 came to me and congratulated our group for the best dance performance they had seen on that night. 

I was relieved by the fact that not many people noticed what happened with me as evry1 was dancing and was happy with our performance. 

I wore trousers beneath the dhoti and that reduced my embarressment..

Just after coming down and meeting evry1, I went to change my clothes. But as i was going I met, Ludovic and Mathilde. My Best friends form france, who came to our institute in an exchange program form France. 

They wanted me to be clicked with them in the dress which i wore when i was a kid and I was looking a proper sikh. I loved the turban which i wore. Just as when Mathilde was standing with me, Ludovic asked her to kiss me and the moment she was about to kiss Ludovic clicked the photograph. I was happy and surprised by a Foreign kiss. But to my misfortune and urs too, she never kissed me. Just a pose for the photograph..:)

Well all that I learnt that day was that  ' THE SHOW MUST GO ON' .. 

Miss college dayz in Chandigarh

I never imagined the college days would come to an end one day. but all good things have to come to an end. actually I dont agree with this statement. Good things never end. April 2007 was the last time I had been to my college in Chandigarh. After giving the B.com exams I was curious for what lied ahead. Then on 26th Jan 09, I went back to my college for the alumni meet. I was surprised and was feeling good to come back to the campus. but this time i was here as an alumni. The moment i entered i smiled as i came across the same parking area where i had fun with friends in those 3 yrs of my life. The 3 yrs (2004-07) were amazing. i cherish each moment spent in the college. made friends, had crushes, fell in love :) (as my friends said), and then I was here as an alumni. Saw my friends sitting inside and enjoying the function. A smile came as i wanted to go to the stage and tell them that hey guys, i am here. Back again. I miss this college.. But as i entered i saw that formal behaviour had come into all of the friends. Things change with time. I feel everything happens for good. and even this happened for good. The day was republic day. So we friends saluted the National Flag and then had the photos clicked. It was really a gr8 time to be with those old pals. Seeing them after 2 yrs and being with them was fun. 

Sandeep Bogra, a good friend, amazed me when he told me about his desire and initiative to help people in stress. www.someonelistening.com. This is what he told me he is working on and the moment i heard it i wanted to be a part of this noble cause. I mailed him immediately when i came back to delhi that i want to be a volunteer. Now lets see what comes forth. Hoping that i can help anyone feel good and be a helping hand to anyone. God bless such noble causes and efforts. God helps those who helps themselves. .. :) ..
