Global meltdown hit me !!!

Yes it has hit me finally. No its not a cricket ball that has hit me but its the 3 months old news of few foreign banks going bankrupt that has hit me finally .

At that time only thought which came to my mind was "Thanks god that Indian banks are all PSU and they can never go bankrupt keeping my savings ;though not an enormous amount but a few thousand safe". So what if it is just few thousand ??? It is hard earned money. And I hope; you understand , how hard earned a software engineer's money is. :)

But today when I complete 10 months of my vacation at this beautiful US city, I am haunted by thoughts of going back to India alone and not with my husband as planned . And all this ,because there are no more software job for me in US .This is because few bankrupt foreign banks have fuelled this global economic melt down ; which I guess, I can never understand "How ?" .

When I had come from India I had been missing India and more the city Pune where I and my beloved had spent some beautiful days full of love and fun. And it is very strange and surprising to me that now when going back to India after whole lot of cribbing and cursing US for missing Indian food, crowd, etc etc I have started to miss this beautiul US city already.

It is great to learn that just the thought of leaving my husband here and going back has made me all praise for this city, whether be its greenery, less crowded streets, public transport buses, a bus stop bench where me and my husband have spent many a beautiful evenings discussing evrything from our family, love, work ,social life and economics.

I can now understand that how love of one human being can change everything in my life ; while leaving Pune, or Jaipur where my parents lived; or leaving my professional career for which i had worked hard all my student life ;I was all joy , as I was to reunite with him. And now when I have to go back to my parents my much worked for professional career; I don't feel any joy, instead my heart is full of sorrows. Its very heavy feeling and I cannot at all come to terms to be going away from him to our motherland and my career.

Oscar Goes to India Finally!!!

So finally A R Rahman bagged India the most awaited award not one but two.

I am really happy over the victory of fellow Indian. I am overjoyed with the celebrations that Indians are enjoying not only in India but through out the world.

I know the movie Slumdog Millionaire does not exhibit India in the way I would like to show off it to world.........but never the less It does exhibit some gray shades of India which co exist with all other good things in India. I would like to take the story/screenplay of "Slumdog Millionaire" as a pinch of salt .

What is good is that it has got recognition to Indian Music. Indian Lyrics.Indian story .

I was also more than happy to see bollywood style dancing on the Oscars stage. That was a kind of icicng on the cake :)

But when i shared with my fellow Indians back home; some of whom were Tamilians.................they could not help themseleves from boasting that A R Rahman is a tamilian...........now how does that matter to me a north Indian ???????

I never listen to music categorising it according to whether it is composed by north Indian or South Indian. This only forced me to think whether :

1. Will if A R Rahman was from my state had I boasted in same way ?

2. Will Hindus and Muslims back in India also boast it in a different way ?

3.Why after studies of so many years where curricular books repeatedlly teach us that India is a secular country with so many cultures and states and we all Indians are brothers and sisters this feeling of being a hindu or tamilian or marathi etc etc are so strong ?

4.Whom should i Blame for this?our education system ?

5.Which education system the schools, the teachers or parents ?

Anyways.....I hope there are many people in my generation who think alike and soon there will be an India where people will not think which state or which religion do we belong to.

I also hope that in near future we will have a  feeling good Oscar winning movie which will also exhibit India in a very beautiful way :)

So what's new today !!!

A news article that Indian cricket team did not get luggage management staff at New Zealand airport.

When i first heard this news I thot another non-issue made an issue by news channels to increase their ratings.

Don't know but why these days whenever I see a popular hindi news Channel AAJTAK I feel like another issue raised just for channel ratings. I can never feel that it is serious reporting.

Might be its the negative effect of the channel's propoganda that they are Best news channel in 8 years and have won so and so news awards.

This is human nature you never like someone who boasts of oneself be it your family members , friends, colleagues etc.and now i guess it has extended to this news channel which boasts of itself.

I am not against the channel.but the way it boasts of itself :) 

So now coming to the news article about Indian cricket team first I thought whats the big deal.....I always manage my luggage myself whenever I go on a trip be it personal or professional. We Indians have a habbit of being at luxury of manual labours, be it our domestic help, gardener, milk delivery man on and on. And now we want same when we go to west...where manual labor or help is so expensive that a pumbler can earn more than generously paid professional in India :))

But no it is not about inability of team India to manage there own luggage they can very well do this and infact did it. But what if they had got muscle pull in their back because of pulling trolleys with 7 bats-4 shoes pair etc and etc  ??? Imagine Sachin Tendulkar receive a muscle pull just before the series ??

Who would have been at lost Indian team or New zealand team ?

Now question is why did this happen ??

1. Because to west Indains are still some third world country citizens ?

2. Because its the culture in New zealand and NewZealand cricket board does not care what arrangements are made for their team when they reach India?

3.Or any other ??? I am unable to think of it .

Intezaar...wait.........hope

Yes Intezaar.wait.hope..............I understand that wait means intezaar.....but does it also means waste of time ??

Yes It does only if there is no hope. There are no regrets in life once you acheive what you want to but through the journey of achievemnet you sure get too many occassions to regret.

Now should i take those moments of regret as really regretfull or just give myself hope that this is journey to achievement :)

I guess later option is better as it always infuse confidence in me for more timw of wait to come. But how long will be this journey; will it ever end; who does realy know what i want to acheive and what is the end of acheivement for me.
