Yes teachers have fun too. Infact we had a blast� at CIE, Delhi University. I am not allowed to post pictures here. Infact till date I never knew that it was� disabled from the server itself 
Anyways, here is the link to the ALBUM on web-a-photo.com.� Hopefully it should work.
I hate lizards or let me put it in a better way… I am scared of lizards 
And� I have one in my room right now� thanks to my mom 
Thanks to her now� I� cant sleep in my room (yes i m scared and i cant)

Trying to balance� studies with my work is leaving me imbalanced. Dont seem to be doing justice to either of them.� Neither my boss is too happy nor my teachers in the college. What the hell
Studying and working at the same time is a bad bad idea !!�
Specially when my workplace is at one corner of the city and my college on the other. In total I have driven around 100 kms today. And that too in� the� worst Delhi traffic during peak hours. Life couldnt just get any better.� I am pretty fond of driving and during the past 3 years (almost…just 3 months to complete) I have driven 41000 kms on my car. Now that speaks volume about the kind of driving or should� I say quantum of driving that� I do.
Need to find a more relaxing, and a cheaper alternative to kill time� and ofcourse to commute 
!!
I dont remember that quote well…. so any error is sincerely regretted. But my only request would be to play pakistani music. Cos thats what I am listening to these days. Big time. I dont mind either� given the only talent (or should i say business acumen) of Himesh reshamiya scoring on all music charts. Trust me I have been to like 5 music websites and all of them had his songs as top downloads.
I must say he has a great business sense (oh should it be music sense too ??). He first comes out with an original score with his original nasal talent. Caters to� a specific genre of people and then goes ahead and remixes his own songs before anybody else could even think of it and� gains the attention of the rest of the crowd. Smart move. I like this guy� !! **wicked smile**
Lately I have taken a liking for pakistani music. Earlier the only pakistani singers I ever knew was nusrat fateh ali khan� for obvious reasons. But their talent has really struck me. I have fallen in love with the pakistani pop/rock/ sufi/ qawalli music. Strings, Fuzon, Abida Parveen, Shehzad Roy, Ghulam ali, Mehndi Hassan, Jal, The Call, and many more. Each song so different and distinct from the other that you can actually appreciate their originality. Unlike the remixes (Himesh gives a run for their money to DJs too)� and takeoffs (Anu malik and Himesh too)� happening on the Indian front. Best part is to see Indian music directors copying from the music industry of� our not-so-friendly neighbour.

Today I love pakistani music more than Indian music barring a few� golden era songs, even my collection today boasts of more pakistani stuff and I have no qualms in saying that !!
Its a bad� bad bad idea !!
And who would know this better than me. Every pang of stress leaves a big hole in my pocket. And I feel so helpless after doing all that shopping. My dad tells me that I should go and shop for a new almirah as we are running short of space to store my clothes now
But the only solace� I find is in the nice and pretty� clothes that� I end up buying. My choice is pretty royal (not me) So my shopping during the stressful times leads me� getting pampered with the best of clothes available on shelf. He he he not to forget the huge price that� I end up paying for all the stress busting tactics. This had happenned at the end of January also when my Bank balance actually went down to a three digit figure thanks to my excessive compulsive shopping disorder. And was that scary !!
Dont know how long will I enjoy� the current healthy status of my bank balance (should pray for a good mood now !!).
I am getting worried now… I need a chocolate 
Aapko humari kasam laut aaiye…
One of the best numbers by Hemant from the movie Bees Saal Baad. Just love listening to it. And goes well with my life too
No I am not saying this. But my boss choses to believe so. According to her the place where dead go is the graveyard. So, technically speaking my stomach is� the house for the dead� cos I m a hardcore Non-Vegetarian.
I have already tasted chiken, mutton, fish (various kinds… dont even ask me to name them), prawns, crab and squid (yes I have seen it on discovery and still managed to relish it )
Hence my stomach is one big graveyard� !!�
Funny
I had a discussion with a friend on this topic and this is what emerged from it.�
We all know to err is human and to forgive� Divine.Forgiveness is something that is not to be meant for others. Its meant for yourself. Its something you give to yourself not to others. You simply let go. Let go of the hurt, Pain, and harsh memories. You dont do for others but� for your own self.
If u dont forgive the person who has wronged you, you continue to suffer for what they did and for they didnt do to you. At one given point of time u start asking� questions to your self.� Do u want to waste your time, energy and future on a certain issue? If the answer is no then the matter is closed. All is forgiven.
Forgiveness takes time and forgetting takes even more. Our focus should be on healing not on the hurt. Its not possible to have a blissful present unless and until� we dont heal the hurt and wrong doings of the past. There is no future in the past.
That� friend tells me “Always forgive a person but never forget his name”. 
It is a known fact that Indian education system is geared towards examination. Time and again we find academicians cribbing about this bare truth of our education system. We prepare our students for meeting the final examination. Evaluation of his performance is not based on his holistic development which we boast of preparing through Education but on his rote memory and only a step further to his understanding.
But this is to bring into light the fact that even teachers bear this brunt and are not spared either. Teacher preparation is also exmaination oriented. Research work carries less amount of weightage than the written theory papers. I have to undertake 10 …yes ten theory papers to become a lecturer… oops add another paper of NET. And the very fact that the syllabus of M.Ed (CIE, Delhi University) hasnt been updated since like ages, doesnt leave me happy or amused either.
How I wish we teachers could also gather together and appeal to get a grade system� instead of getting percentages. Or even do away with this whole business of writing examination. Only difference being that our parents wouldnt join us to lobby for this cause.
This happens to be my favourite television drama series since they stopped showing Ally McBeal (Friends not included in this category). What I like most about this series is that at the end of each episode they have this female voice (that of a dead character) summing up a simple fact of life. And I just love it !!
Today it was about fathers and I liked it so much that right after the end of the episode I came online to make a post about it. Here are a few lines from the episode.
There are such great fathers in the world that in their absence everything seems to fall apart.
There are great fathers who start loving us even before we arrive.
There are great fathers in the world who come looking for us when everyone else has slept.
And the best are those who make the women in their lives feel that they are good mothers. (my personal favourite )
