United we stand, divided we INDIA !

Not a long time ago, there was a water stream recently freed by a dominant group of foreign species. The waves were too violent for anything constructive to be done upon the stream. So, a group of "intellectuals" came up with an idea for soothing the water flow. They introduced valves in the water stream. The flow of water could now be controlled and waves were comparatively less violent now. The revolutionary idea of introducing valves, proved to be very successful and as time passed more valves were introduced, the water became calmer. Gradually the water flow became stable and the number of valves that could be introduced reached its saturation point. Water is now stagnant and no more violent.

Will introduction of any more valves do any good or would it just create ripples and lead to violent wave formation again?


The answer is pretty clear. Introduction of valves seemed a good idea in the beginning and also produced great results. But in long term, periodic introduction of valves without realizing the saturation point makes no sense at all.


Same is the case with the world's biggest democracy, India, right now. India has way too many reservations quotas for its own good. It was supposed to be a wonderful act for upbringing the backward classes and for establishing equality, but it is not helping its root cause anymore. It was like giving someone a name and then asking everyone not to call them by the very name given to them.

The Act of reservation of a class itself divides the people and violates the very cause it was supposed to accomplish. Reservation based on caste was short term solution to a problem so big that is costed the country its independence for almost 200 years ie. division.


The only good thing that happened to Indians was that they were united for the first time in the history. They stood together against the British to be free again. Now, the people are fighting to be divided again. Every social community is demanding for reservation. So what's next?


Only acceptable reservation that will sustain is the reservation based on the financial condition and physical disabilities. Only those people should get quota who cannot afford to get in some institution financially or are specially able, rest we all are very much same. So, the bottom line is no one deserves more or less than anyone. Everyone is born equal, should live equal and die equal. Nothing less, nothing more.

The Amazing Leicester City Story Continues!



Leicester City F.C. continued their super dream run as they marched past apparently the "bigger" club  Manchester City. Foxes overwhelmed the mighty Manchester club in their home ground, who spent more than twice the total market value of their opponents in the summer transfer window and still struggled to find the back of net with ball until 87th minute, when the Argentine striker Sergio Aguero bagged a consolation goal for his club. Leicester City grabbed the lead early in the game when the tall defender Robert Huth scored from short range, fed from a free kick by Riyad Mahrez. Manchester City  fans felt as if they had a deja vu when Foxes scored again in the starting minutes of second half. This time, it was Riyad Mahrez, who did a step-over and slotted the ball in the near corner as Joe Hart was stood between the bars helpless, just like rest of his team mates. Huth scored again with a brilliant header and everyone who witnessed the goal, could not believe the scoreline as last season when these two teams played each other the Manchester club topped the league table and Leicester was at the bottom. While every neutral fan, who expected this fixture to be an exciting contest, was left disappointed with the lackluster performance from the two time premier league champions as the final score was Manchester City 1-3 Leicester City.  


 Mahrez: The man behind LCFC's success


Now, there is a question in every premier league fan's head : "Is any other club big enough to deny the foxes their league title this year ?" . 

Probably not 
 
Ever since the beginning of the current season, Leicester City has played like a champion and there are just two fixtures when they didn't collect any points. Foxes have displayed a brand of attacking football, which was long lost in this era of premier league. An era, where success was equated to the amount spent in the transfer window. Last two season winners, both Chelsea and Manchester City have virtually unlimited resources and are second to none when it comes to big money signings.


This ain't no dream Fox




Leicester City is now 5 points ahead of its closest rival the  North London club Tottenham Hotspurs and are expected to maintain that gap till the end of the season as next weekend they travel to Emirates Stadium after which they have comparatively easier fixtures. So if they can maintain their current form, nothing can stop Manager Claudio Ranieri's side to claim the English Premier League title

Coming this close to their ultimate prize and glory, they cannot afford to get complacent and slip down the league table. Personally I would like to bet my money on them and wish, they win the league title this season.

It’s not love when you say...

Yeah it’s not love, when you say “I wanna die before my partner dies” or “if death has to come then  it should come to me first” to impress your partner and to show how much you love her (“her” for your girl here and for girls reading this, read “him” :D).

But does this really make sense? Is praying and wishing for dying before helps your partner in any way? Will your love be happy to see you taking your last breath in front of her? Will you be happy to leave her alone in this cruel world? Is this the love you have for her? Is this how much you love her that you just wanna get out of this shit world as soon as possible leaving her behind struggling to face all the odds of the world all alone?

No, this is not love. Love is to make sure you are there with her till her last breath, love is to make sure she faces all the struggles with you behind, love is to make sure you are there with her when you grow old.

So just make this thought trash out of your brain that love is to die before your partner. Always wish that you are there with her till she is alive.

Won’t you enjoy this, holding her hand and walking out everywhere when you grow old, talking about your younger days together? And everything else.

So on this Valentine’s Day say her something she will admire, something she will be happy to hear, something that will make her fall in love with you all over again.

And yeah for sure, stop saying that first line of this blog :p


#fallinlove

and yes credits to someone special for the idea behind this blog ;)

Breaking up just before Valentine's.

This started months after my high school ended way back in August 2010 I met this girl. Stupendous, dazzling, bold, bright and brainy as I had always dreamt of. Was I shy enough to take her by her hand? Nopes. It was not long that we started hanging around in our classes, outdoors and every places. Small talks tuned into hours of chats, early good nights to late night stupidities sometimes even early morning ones too. Its so strange how time runs so fast when things go right. So as intended we started dating and were the best of friends and lovers. Did all classes and even internship together, spent all the holidays even many Sundays together, a bond unbreakable?

None of my friends or relative knew her although they all knew her by her name. Some said I ain't good enough for her some said she ain't for me but somehow we just stuck together through all the ups and downs we faced. May be we knew we'll make it though at the end or we thought we would. She taught me every little thing, introduced to some of my best friends now and made me a much wiser and sensible man. So going by the numbers this 14th would have been our 6th Valentine's day together,a day we had always spent with each others (although all we did was naive and senseless). We had everything planned for the sweet day but she died 18 days back. But we made it through!



Oh I forgot to mention her name (few might be curious enough to know her name by now), her name was "My CA student Life'. Ya I know i got you :p. I am a chartered Accountant now bdw and passed my final exams 18 days back (;. But I'll always remember this girl and be thankful to her for where she took me up and where she left me. Do i want this girl again ? Hahahahah naah No ways never , never in my next life. What next? These days I am giving interviews for a new Chic whom I'll be dating for the next phase of my life which will surely be much less gloomy.

Just wanna say Thanks to everyone who were there with me for the last few years. I know that was the worst but good is right up the corner. Time changes in minutes baby!!!! 
CHEERS!!!!

DIY Ideas for Valentines day gift.

Its that time of the year when love and love birds both float in the air. So we have decided to make this year a bit more romantic by giving away few amazing ideas for valentines day as committed ones are out of ideas and singles are full of ideas. Ok! Chocolates are delicious and flowers are classy, but will they work year after year? NO!!!
So here are few DIY ideas to shake up the yearly routines-

1. Personalized audio or video: Nothings better than making a video or recording an audio for your loved one. You may bring in your common friends too to make it much more interesting and fun. Plus its easy to share on social web (; (i would advice to keep it to personal. No PDAs.)

2. Craft works on pots or canvas: Another great idea if you are creative and a bit artistic. You both can go out and paint some mugs, pots or canvas and take it home when its done. It'll remain with you forever unlike the flowers.

3. Jig saw puzzle with a message: Well this will surely help you find out the real problem solving skills of your loved one. Take a cardboard, write a beautiful idea and cut it into pieces of a puzzle (Don't make tooooooo may pieces that he/she is still jumbling it till next V-day).

4. Apology note pad: We are boys and we do goof up. Take a note pad and write down all the goof ups that you made being together and you may write your stupid reasons for what caused them. It sounds real fun to me (I'll try it ASAP :p).

5. Cook? : To be honest i cant even make noodles. But within it lies the real interesting part, cook whatever you want and have a lunch or dinner together.

6. Adopt a *STAR* : The best one out of all you can now adopt a star for as low as $15. This will be one heck of a gift! To adopt just Click here . You can watch your star on Google Sky. All the money received is donated for further space research by the NGO.

So now you have all the ingredients just make a beautiful dish outta this. Best of Luck!

I just need a HUG

So here I go again, I still have all those memories sharp enough to write a blog.

I was just promoted to 6th standard and a bunch of new students too joined are class. The first day, as usual I was sitting with my friends and chatting about all kind of stuffs before the first period. After few moments of "halla and gullaa" it was time for the class teacher to enter, we sat properly on our benches.

Then that moment came, she entered the class (not the class teacher haha). A new student, super cute, with little curly hairs, struggling to find that comfort zone (we all have that feeling, you guys know what I am talking about), a new place and everyone staring at you.

Yes, I too was staring at her(haha). I was just completely staring at her. It was a love at first sight for me, I was flat at her, I totally was.

I knew I was too young to fall in love but who cares, yes I was in love from that very moment. What's her name? I was too curious to know. The class teacher entered, now what I was waiting for? yes you guessed it right, the attendance. I was waiting for her to attend her roll call and there it was, the class teacher called her name and she cutely, still very shy replied "present mam".

Oh god! she is damm cute, she is so beautiful, I want to talk to her, my heart ordered my brain. "Go you stupid, go talk to her". And yes I did, I interacted with her. (yeah!! smiles all over my face)

Fast forward and the story jumps to 10th class. From being strangers to being very good friends by now.

"Oh!! what is happening in the school. What sort of rules are they coming up with", I said. The below average students should be in one section and others in that 'A' section (huhh!! those school days).

And I was sent to the '10th C' section and she headed to 'A'. God that feeling, will I be able to talk to her again? will we meet frequently? what about our friendship? should I tell her I am in love with her? and what not in the world I was thinking.

The annual day celebrations, my group by now had this idea that I was in love with her. One of my friend took both of us to corner and he told everything to her. "What is happening? I should have told this to her and not my friend" (but somewhere or the other I was thankful to him that he made her aware of all my feelings, I guess I was too shy). She asked for some time.

After a day, we met, on the stairs."We will remain friends, very good friends", she said. "No way yar!!" (my inner voice). "Hmm ok" what I actually said to her with a big smile on my face. I know I should have said something more but I didn't.

Years passed and in these years a strong bond build between two of us. We have a common friend, who was the main what you say, main link between both of us. She helped a lot in all those years to bring us close and she still does.

12th standard, I started sensing something from her end too. Yes! she too was in love with me (big smile :D ). Just before the pre board exams, on 31st Dec 2009, we talked over phone and then over messages. Yes!! we were officially (hahaha yes officially) in a relationship.

Everything was super cool between us, so much fun, so much leg pulling, movies, surprises, gifts, roses and yes lot of LOVE.

Then one day, it was sometime around Dec 2012, she stopped talking to me. I still remember I was in my college, waiting for her call (the time we usually talk over phone), I called her but nothing, phone cut. What the hell is happening, I was desperate to know. I messaged her, no reply. The full day passed like this. Our common friend, I called her up to know whats the matter. She too was unaware of the whole thing.

I tried, I tried, I desperately tried to contact her. Then one day, my phone beeped, it was her message, "she didn't want to continue the relationship". Reason? no idea. What happened, I was desperate to know.

Weeks passed and I was still in shock, I was truly very disappointed with her. I was very angry but this love, god!! not letting me show it to her. We have had few chats over messages not about that relationship stuffs, other normal things.

"Sachin", my heart prompted, "at least ask her the reason", "no" my brain said, "you should not, it's her decision and may be she have some genuine reasons, it won't look good".

I still don't know was it a bad decision, to let her go without trying hard. Yes I tried for few months but at the same time I respected her decision. I tried to have her back in my life but I saw nothing positive from her end. It hurt, it deeply hurt me. "There is nothing like love in this world, you stupid" my brain again. Sleepless nights, from a happy go lucky boy to more serious now, I completely changed.

Present time : This love, this feeling, the respect, the eagerness to ask our common friend how she is? is she doing good? sending her the birthday wish, sharing everything important going on in my life with her (though it's not every time I get a reply from her). Don't know why but I still really like this, I still love her and have that strong feeling that she will come back one day.  One thing that give me that, you know, a little hope, a little idea, that she still have something for me is receiving wonderful birthday wishes from her in all these years. I wait for my birthday just for this reason, yes, I wait for her text, nothing else.

If you're reading this blog, I just want to say I really love you, I really want you back. You are my happiness, you are everything for me. The best that can happen in my life is YOU. Your this year birthday wish said, "I pray best for you". Stupid you are the one who is "best" for me. Why don't you get this.

PS : I am sorry I shared this over here, now please don't scold me haa :p

For the readers out there, this story is still incomplete and I hope it has all smiles and hurray sort of end.

TO BE CONTINUED ....    

Till then read : It's not love when you say...
