Srtucture!

Everything around you seems to have structure: molecules, animal kingdom, human civilization, the planetary system.
Each structure has a basic building block: atoms, animals, humans, planets.
They are hold together by the laws , forces and rules: Vaderwall's force, food chain, social obligations, gravitational forces.
They have a peculiar shape and boundaries : circular, pyramidal, racial, infinity.
All the basic elements of the block interact with one another to keep the system functioning.
And all these systems interact with one another to create one big system of systems.

Summer Internship - Working in BPO

Being a mechanical engineer , having worked in auto industry and now doing MS it seems derogatory to work in BPO (no offense against anyone). However, my summer internship is to work in a domestic BPO office. My employee is Ms. U. Her preparation leaves are going on and she has temporarily moved from her hostel to her permanent home with her parents, where there is no internet connectivity. So, she has outsourced her work to a US based BPO company called 'doing - MS- no -summer - internship' .inc. - founded by me. Now, my outsourcing job includes following responsibilities: chekcing the clients Orkut account every half an hour and intimating client through telephone about all the imporatnt scraps like - "hey, how you doing?"..and "I found your profile interesting, will you be my friend?".
Who says, all the outsourcing jobs are being banglored?...some are being even rutherfored!

This award is kind of dream come true. For many years I have detested the film fares and similar of its kind. Things that irritate me about these hypocrite shows are: they are dynastic in nature. If you are the son of some great show man, you ought to get one award as a part of legacy and not as a mark of your talent. Then your daughters and grand daughters, however non talented they may be, ought to get the awards.

Few people in the past came to film city struggled a lot and made a name out for themselves. However, after the first generation it becomes the ancestral occupation of the family, which ought to be kept alive, as if breaking the tradition by progenitors will lead to social castaway. But the actual ire is not against these unworthy heirs of the past stars but against the attitude industry harbors towards the new 'highly talented, without filmy-back ground', new comers.

Each year, like their fathers and mothers of unworthy heirs thousands of newcomer struggle to prove their talent. They are more talented, more capable and more sincere guys. But the 'aam-junta' is so addicted to dynasty system that we apply same rule to all the wake of life. It has become so difficult for us to give up that attitude that when the head of nation is killed, her son is summoned immediately to handle the reins of the nation, as if not even a single person in the 100 crore population was fit to do it. And forget it, after the assassination of this son, who may not have been rather that unworthy, we now make all the efforts of his highly unproved son to take the reigns of nation in his hand.

Ok, sorry for digressing, coming back to films, so the new comers are devoid of all well deserved appreciation, attention and applause. All the old players align together to form the barricade to prevent entry of new comers. Have you seen this years film fare? It seemed like a family affair. KJ behaving as if he is the son(?) of this family, at each and every turn showing us how he is close to all the lead stars in the industry, again the two unworthy legacy new comers do the pathetic hosting.Giving us glimpses of how their mamu's and mom's and dad's were great. Okey rite!..they were great not you!! Give us some space.Let us see other talented people. Spare us the terror of your horrible performances! Were my ancestors your bonded labors that I have to bear your horrible performances? Did my mother fought with Hema Mailini that I have to bear Ayesha Deol?

This year militancy blooms early with new variety!

This year again hycinths, chrysanthemums, carnations, lilies and militancy will adorn "heaven on earth" with its natural beauty. However, the year is witnessing differential behavior of its most adorned species of flower called militancy. It has started sprouting well ahead of its scheduled time of April when the weather is congenial for its widespread blossoming. Also the flowers this year are not blossoming in one's or two's but they are coming in bunches of 20's and 30's. The flowers will also have variety to offer... they will be well groomed and will come from the high quality nurseries like - Laskhar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Al-Badr. They will not come planted in traditional cow dung manure of hand grenades and paper maps, but they will be planted in new age pesticides of GPS devices, satellite phones, high-quality winter gear and ice-axes.
Kashmir, once again promises to be welcoming land to this militancy flowers, with more variety to offer!

Nostalgia!

one natraj pencil - sharpened on both the sides, one white natraj eraser - with yellow gilletine on it. getting envious of friend's double-decker compass. A glass jar full of parle 'kiss me' toffees at the begining of each month. kissan mixed fruit jam spread on the white bread. fighting for corner sit in the auto. reciting poem one more time for the orlas. going to school with parents on annual result day. hoping to see your name flashed in coloured chalk on black board. going to bazzar on bajaj cub with mon n dad. me standing in front. my sister cuddled in my mother's lap on pillion seat. me always complaining to install that little seat in front for me where i can sit and endure long trips to our native village. paw bhaji on sunday. everyone from colony gathering at home to watch mahabharat. jungle jungle baat chal hain pata chala hain...chaddi pehne ke phul khila khain phool khila hain. chandrakanta ki kahani hain manai ki purani.... Ganapati bappa morya. rehearsing for dance performance at colony ganapati. winning prize -cryon set - for coming first in sangit khurchi. eating chocolate cake in ananad melawa. playing bhatukli with friends. riding yellow color tri-cycle. going each thrursady to mandir. smearing mouth with gawrani mango. enjoying the first smell ozzing out of straws of water cooler. licking kulfi every afternoon. gogin to maternal uncles place. sleeping in open under star spangled sky with table fan gving air to every one turn by turn. going to sugarcane field and playing hide and seek. dirtyin your clothes while playing gilli-dandu. fetching water from the well. watching grand mom wash clothes in river. visiting mom's school with thathced roofs and no desks and benches. getting drenched in colored water. splattering water balloons on by standers and shouting holi hai!!! smell of new books and pain of not getting new uniform this year.

Amar Prem....between whom?

"tum gawalon ke liye mar gayi ho pushpa..aur mare hue ko marnewalon ki kya khabar dena?"

Now, my confusion is...does the death of pushpa for gaonwale is virtual, like the one which happens in this dialogue "aaj se tum mere liye mar gaye ho..aaj se mera koi beta nahi hain", so that gaonwale disowns pushpa for enetering the socially banned occupation.

Or, does she die in some story devised by her mother or '.....' to justify her disapperance fron the village?

I think, it must be later one because, if it would have been former one, mahesh bhaiyya -knowing how puspha earns her living - would have never accepted her invitation to come to her home. But then, he was also not surprised to see her alive after so many years!

Someone, please explain.

I am also confused why some scenes were shown in the movie, like:
nandu's visit at dhobi ghat to give his fathers clothes for washing.
sitaram stealing money from his master's pocket.

However, big surprise came in when one of my friend was confused about between whom the "amar prem" movie is about? Between puspha and... or between pushpa and nandu?

I always thought, it was between puspha and..... (see the movie poster, listen the songs, baring ....., count the footage given to pushps and ......, apart from it being very obvious), then why the confusion?
But it seems not only my frined had this weired confusion, even IMDB has the confusion. And no one has cleared it yet!

Quiz time:
1. Fill in the intentionally left gap in the above post.
2. How many times does the maid servant in mahesh bhhaiya's home appears in the movie?
3. Is the name "Mahesh" correct?

Am I buying wine...

...no I am buying the text-book for my course work called...hmm...guide book to...no i think it is...practical guide book to something...anyway I was unaccustomed to this winish behavior of books getting costlier with the age...imagine all the good things in life endow this quality...LCD-TV's, cars, SLR cameras, i-phone's, plush home in downtown, and the list goes on..
