Phir Hera Pheri : Mujhko Yaad Sataye Teri

Imagine Akshay Kumar dancing on an extremely yuck nasal sung slow song just like micheal jackson in one of his videos complete with drums and street look. (I am forgetting the song name). Thats what he is doing in the song ‘Mujhko Yaad sataye Teri’ from the forthcoming sequeal of Hera Pheri.

Earlier we heard copied tunes and songs, now its a take off on a complete video. God bless !!

Driven by Money

I am amazed how can people be so intoxicated by their drive to earn more money that they stat neglecting their personal lives. Everything else can wait but not their business call. Contract shouldnt be lost at any cost, while a sour relationship can wait to be healed. Arent the stakes too high?

Is earning money so damn important that you can risk your relationships in your blind journey towards making more money? Does one ever realise that no matter how much money you make, but if you cant enjoy it with the people you love, its all meaningless??

Sheer stupidity

I am not sure if there are many people like me who are excellent at making things go wrong. We invite trouble just out of no where. Infact we attract them like a magnet. We make friends turn into enemies… (maybe too harsh) or complete strangers in matter of seconds. Have an expertise in making demands which we have no right to make. Go on to do mistakes which we am warned of against many times. Continue reading

Abusing ourselves

We get happy, we party. We smoke. Drink alcohol. Dine at the best of the places, Indulge in all that we ever wished for.

And when the days are not so bright, we sulk. Sleep a lot, Smoke a lot, Drink a lot, Eat chocolates / best food available.

In both the cases you end up feeling pathetic. Just when you thought you were indulging in substance abuse, it was you who just got abused!!

Mandalising Education

So now the quota will be increased. Hah !!

I dont really get why there is so much of� hue and cry about reservation for equal opportunities. Dont they get the basic and simple fact that by reserving they are discriminating !! If they want to be treated as equals they should fight on equal grounds. They shouldnt get any special treatment. Ok. Agreed they cant afford education. But shouldnt that be an economic issue? They should get all support at the grass root level. That is free basic education. But once they get that support and reach higher education level, they should fight and contest for seats on the basis of their calibre and not their societal status. I have known people from well to do families getting easy admissions only on the basis of their special tag !!

The effort should be to increase the number of IIMs/ IITs or the seats in such prestigious institutions, and not increasing the quota.

I guess that day wont be far off when the general category will have a meagre 3-5% left for them rest all will be reserved.

Old wine served in a new bottle !!

I read through our 10th and 9th five year plans and did the comparative analysis with respect to Role and use of technology in Education, and nothing seems to have worked till now.

Whatever they had planned to do and achieve� in the 9th plan (1997-2002) they are still trying to implement the same through the 10th plan (2002-2007). The only change and difference between the two plans has been the words in which the policy has been framed and recommendations have been made.

Even though the government schools have all the infrastructural facilities� to implement information and communication technology in their schools, what they� seem to be� lacking are the competent and most importantly accountable and responsible teachers.

Gold bless India !!

Season of Failed marriages

Is it a season for marriages going kaput or is it just my bad luck that people around me dont seem quite happy with their respective marriages? I wonder !!

Infact the most funny thing I have ever heard has been:

Shaadi kar lo, sudhar jaogi

Anyways. My question is: Are marriages made in heaven? Can love last a lifetime? What if you dont get married to the person you love, will u still find happiness? Will you be genuine or will u be faking in that new relationship? By marrying the person your parents chose will you be making them happy and ruining or scaffolding your own? Are you trying to make sure that there is someone to blame when it fails?

I read somewhere recently that a team of scientists have found that romantic love involves some kind of chemical changes in your brain which last upto about 12-18 months. (the rosy marriage period!!) After that you and your partner are on your own to make it work. Funny as it may be, but I guess even relationships require maintainance.

So, I guess I seem to have found an answer for: Can love really last a lifetime? Absolutely, but only if you chuck the fairytale idea of “living happily ever after”.
