BREAKING NEWS.....

“Aaj Tak, again for the fifth consecutive year, has won the Best News Channel Award.” I know this has become month old news but I want to know what is so special in this news channel that it has again won this award?

What Aaj Tak do? It has a preference for circumlocutory the same news rather than forthright expression.

Now just take the last day incident that was on the air. ( Plz do not kill me if you are a die-hard fan of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan.) I agree it was shocking news for all of us that, The King of Bollywood, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan had got admitted in the hospital. Our blessings are there with him. We all Indians adulate him like anything and no doubt it is normal for any Indian to take this news seriously. After all, for some he is a role model and his 14-15 films are there on the floor which will be on air by next year. So, definitely it was a serious matter for the public and a lot more serious for the producers of his movies in which he is working(he had a stomach ache.)

But, I am not able to understand one thing why these news channels especially Aaj Tak made this a big issue. For Aaj Tak, it was breaking news and for the whole evening till late into the night, they showed only this on their channel.

India has won the fifth ODI against South Africa in Mumbai wasn’t a big news for them. Uma Bharti again started lamenting about Shivraj Singh Chauhan being elected as the new Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh by the members of legislative assembly and elite party members, wasn’t a big news for them. What was the BIG NEWS?-BIG B IN HOSPITAL.

Same was the case with Star News and India TV.

Arrey, doctors have said this thing already that Mr. Bachchan is perfectly alright. He came to the hospital just for the routine checkup and there is nothing to worry about that. Then, why does this MSM not want to understand this simple and little thing? And this is not for the first time that they are making a small issue a big one. Remember, that whole Greg Chappell and Sourav Ganguly issue, that wasn’t so much a big thing but finally it ended up becoming a topic for National debate, Thanks to the news channels especially these Hindi news channels.

Can anybody tell me, on what basis the news channels get these BIG NAME AWARDS?? On the other hand, the English news channels like NDTV, CNBC, and Headlines Today, who believe in telling and showing the right news in a right way and that too with forthright expression, never get any.

These Hindi news channels have caught the pulse of Indians and they know this very well that we Indians love to hear good things, to be more precise masaledar khabar.

But, one thing is for sure if you want to irritate somebody just tell them to watch these awarded channels or if you yourself want to get irritated, again watch out the same. And what would be the result? a little information and lots of painkillers for your headache…))

Occult Numbers

Secretly, many people are a little superstitious about numbers.Thirteen is unlucky; for some, Friday the 13th is an inauspicious day and there should never be 13 at table.On the other hand, three is a lucky number-except that bad luck always comes in three.!!
Many people also have their own personal lucky number: the number of the house they were born in, or a number that has proved lucky before and may bring more good fortune in the future.
Few people would admit to taking these beliefs seriously. But they are relics of the ancient and once highly regarded art of numerology- the belief that numbers hold some hidden knowledge about the world, that they can reveal the future or concealed aspects of a person's character.
Most of us have an idea how actually the numerologists find the number associated with a particular word but just to remind you all let me tell you what exactly they do. To find the number associated with a particular word, the number corresponding to the letters are added together. Each time the resulting number is more than 9, the two digits are added together.For example,if the total is 15, 1 and 5 are then added together to give 6.
According to numerologists, each number between 1 and 9 has its own significance.The number one signifies dominance and leadership; two, gentleness,kindness, and lack of ambition.Three is the most "extrovert" number, denoting intelligence, creativity, and wit.Four is the number of fairness, organisation, dependability, and attention to detail.Five is brilliance, cleverness, and impatience.Six is perhaps the "happiest" number, signifying tranquility, balance, loyality, sincerity, and conscientiousness.Seven is the number of the loner, the philosopher, the mystic.Eight represents worldly success-and egocentricity.Nine stands for the height of intellectual and spiritual achievement.
Now on this basis what numerologists suggests.They believe that when this system is applied to an individual's full name, it reveals the true nature of the personality, the characteristics that influence decisions taken throughout life.Applied to nickname, it indicates what other people think of the individual.
Well all said and done, now my question is does it really works???
As far as my case is concerned, my date of birth is 13,that so called unlucky number by the numerologists, but for me 13 is my lucky number.And how a number can reveal the true nature of one's personality???Seriously, I am not able to digest this whole number fundaa.And can you believe this system can be applied to dates as well and gives an indication of what will happen on a particular date or in a particular year.Now it is seriously bouncing off from my head.Just because it works with some,can we make it universal?But the reality is- people believe on this system like anything.Infact, their each and every future action depends on this only.
Its good to be superstitious to quiet an extent but to take each and every move with this is not good. I know, I have no rite to say these things because each one of us have different believes and ideas but still this question is.....
Finally I would say this is just a way to boost up your confidence level like ur sum is this and so you are like this and that and all that stuff and if you do like this then something good will happen with you!!!
I would say just WORK YOUR LIFE.

Sometimes Titles make no sense

Nigahen nigahon se milakar to dekho,
Nayen logo se rishta banakar to dekho.
Hasraten dil mein dabane se kya haasil hoga,
Khule honth hilakar to dekho.
Khamoshi ke gammon ke liye khwahish jaroori hai,
Ye vishwas banakar to dekho.
Jo hai dil mein us se kar do bayan,
Khud ko ekbar jata kar to dekho.
Aasmaan simat jayega tumhare aagosh mein,
Chahat ki baahein phela kar to dekho.
DIL KI BAAT BATAKAR TO DEKHO!!!

How easy it is to say "DIL KI BAAT BATAKAR TO DEKHO".Isn't it??But tell this thing to a rejected lover with sympathy(or empathy,ur wish), I m sure he would love to slap you!!!
Well, jokes apart, I know it is not that easy to express your so called "Dil ki baat" but again it is not that tough.The whole poem is trying to convey that just say whatever is there in ur mind.And I totally agree with this.
Seriously, If you have something in your heart,in your mind, doesn't matter what the issue is, just say it.It will help u only and not anyone else.It will help you to solve your problem or to be more precise "mann halka ho jayega".This life is too short to fight on trifle issues or to live with some burden on your heart.Just have this in mind and live your life to the fullest.

Keep Discovering

When did last time you did something for the first time??
Hey,its not a question that suddenly flashes in front of my eyes but is something which we should think about.
Let me tell u the origin of this question.A few days back, after a long time, I was watching the Discovery Channel, and as usual in between those irritating (not all) commercials.And then came this commercial which starts with the question "When did last time you did something for the first time?"
Do you know,what was my condition at that time?-I GOT STUCK.
Seriously,to my memory, I don't remember when did last time I did something for the first time!!And I am sure you all will also get stuck 'coz we never think (or never try to think) of these so called (for many of us) little things.We only believe in "Just Do It"..
Well, this is a case with you,with me that we always do the things which we like to do but never think of whether we are doing it for the first time or for the second time or....Infact, this question never comes in our mind.
But if we seriously think about this, then, it is just a matter of discovering yourself or we can say experimenting yourself with the first experience.
Remember those childhood days, when we always wanted to experiment with new things just to feel that satisfaction that yes we have done it.Same is the case here also. It is just that we have forgot to enjoy those lill things that mattered a lot when we were a child, we have forgot those lill, funny experiments that gave us immense pleasure and satisfaction.And the reason is-we have stopped discovering.
Believe me, its fun to do something for the first time.
So, just do it from soup to nuts and get back to your childhood days and enjoy each and every moment of your life because this life is too short.
Believe in discovering yourself and so KEEP DISCOVERING.

Nice naa....

Hey all...here is something interesting I came across while reading a novel by R.L.Stevenson.Hope you all will like .


"If beams from happy human eyes
Have moved me not;
If morning skies,
Books,and my food,and summer rain
Knocked on my sullen heart in vain:-
Lord,Thy most pointed pleasure take
And stab my spirit broad awake."


Nice naa???.....:-)

You never know....

I have realized this for quiet a few days now that things are changing.The way of accepting and taking the things,the way of judging a person in front of you and above all,my own perspective towards life has changed.
I don't know,why is this happening,may be, my fate wants me to look upon the things,like this only.
I don't know,but one thing is for sure, these all concomitants have made me more practical...seriously....:-)
Well, this is a very common thing with every normal person that he or she doesn't know how life is taking its shape.
You never know,what would happen with you,the very next moment.You never know,what type of people, you would encounter in a short span of your life.You never know, how and when someone gets hurt(intentionally or unintentionally),you never know.....
But if we look upon the positive side of this,then definitely this "YOU NEVER KNOW" would really make you realize those things which otherwise you even wouldn't try to know.
I have often heard people lamenting and complaining for things which they already have and some even do the same with what they do not have.
Saying this that I have got a bone to pick with you,is quiet easy but to say that I'll eat my hat, is really difficult because it is not an easy task to convince others,no matter how correct you are.
The situations that have arisen in past few days,have really made me to think whether I am right or wrong.But again YOU NEVER KNOW...
Quiet confused.Isn't it???

DREAMS.....

It was getting to be 4 AM in the morning.I was completely engrossed in my dreamworld, when suddenly my eyes opened....A complete darkness and silence was there both in my room and in my mind.I don't remember what had happened but something must have happened,that drove me away from my dream world.
I came out of my room in the balcony, standing there, trying to recollect my dream....And
The Moon was falling
The Sun was rising
And the darkness
Was leaving her stole...
but my mind?
What's there in that?
I don't remember...
That silence was killing me, not the one of my ambience but the one of my mind...
And then, standing there, I drove myself again into the world of dreams and reality,thinking what the dreams "are", not what the dream "was"....

DREAMS - a cherished desire, an aspiration, something wonderful....
But what if we are not able to recollect the tiny pieces of our shattered dreams?
I hardly remember a single night's dream but daydreams?
Daydreams are a part of my life.I just can't live without them as they are the source of my inspiration, my desires. They tell me where I stand in this arcane world...
They tell me, I am here coz I want to see myself there where I want to be 'coz I believe in my dreams, I live for my dreams, I work for my dreams...
Some say dreams are a fantastic but vain hope...
Quiet true, but only for those who don't know how to realize their own hopes and desires, who don't know the mere difference between DREAMS and REALITY...
Dreams are our desires, our perception, our way of accepting the things, our perspective towards the life .
And reality.....
Reality is to work on our dreams.
We do live in our dreams, we live here in this beautiful world, which itself is a REALITY, to work on our dreams....
This is just what I feel...
And now as I look at the bright red rising sun, smiling at the world,greeting the world,
I remember the words by Arundhati Roy-

There's no time to lose
I heard her say
Cash your dreams before
They slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams and you
Will lose your mind.

And so I am back here into the world of reality 'coz
I have miles to go before I sleep,
Miles to go before I sleep......

SPELLOSYNDROME

How would you pronounce 'JHANKAR BEATS'?U will say what a stupid question..Ok now how would u pronounce 'GHATOTHKACH'?Again a very very very stupid question...Now one more last thing to do, just interchange 'G' and 'J'.What did u observe? The words become 'GHANKAR BEATS' and 'JHATOTHKACH',right?Now say these new interchanged words loudly and u will definitely get the difference,infact ,the same,when Mr.PyareMohan (Chupke-Chupke) had asked this question to his jijaji "If 'GO' is 'GO',then why 'TO' is '2'?"!!!
Now got it what I wanted to say?
To be more precise,I am talking about a syndrome called "SPELLOSYNDROME".
This 'SPELLOSYNDROME',an idiosyncrasy,affected one of my FRIEND so badly,in the sense, that she even didn't get the very idea,when this syndrome had attacked her cranium(basically this affects ur brain)!
Now u people will ask,what this syndrome actually do?
What happens, this syndrome first grabs ur brain and then it makes u feel so natural while u r writing that it becomes impossible to distinguish the RIGHT and the WRONG!!!
For example "mughe samagh mein nahi aaya"( I didn't get it).Here ,grammatically the sentence is correct but just check out the spelling of 'mughe' and 'samagh'.It should be 'J' instead of 'G',right?
Right,this become a habit and habit is habit!!!

SYMPTOMS

I am giving a list of alphabets which are prone to this syndrome,they are 'G','J','C','K' and 'H'(this is my observation!!)
No matter how good u r in spelling,u'll definitely do the mistakes with one of these alphabets (now it depends on person to person).
This is the only symptom...

CURE

Consult your FRIENDS whenever u do these kinda mistakes.I am sure you all must have some very caring F.R.I.E.N.D.S who will tell you what is WRONG and what is RIGHT!!!
Doctors are seriously putting their efforts but till now they haven't got any success...
Don't worry,this is curable and it won't affect u badly.Just be careful while u r writing and that's it...
So cheers and be happy...

Last but not the least,do thank your FRIEND in a very special MANNER!!!!

U just can't live without them...

We inherit our relatives by birth;friends ,we earn by choice.May be the very reason a handful of friends count much more than a cent relatives.
A feeling of love,moments of caring,stupid fights,shoulders to cry,to be together in pain,an ear to listen,a voice to comfort,a bond to cherish,a shoulder for support.A relation that knows no boundaries,one that supersedes all dissimilarities.That's what FRIENDSHIP is all about.
Today,as we look back upon this wonderful relationship,glimpses of many a memorable moments fly by our eyes.Times we were flat broke,and our pals came to our rescue,bunked classes just to watch stupid movies, going to theater just after the first paper of the end sem,accepted calls in the middle of the night,a big party for a very small achievement and many more...
Well, right now I still hv two more years to enjoy all this before leaving my college but ya the memories will always be there to cherish.As the famous quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson goes:"It is one of the blessings of old friends that u can afford to be stupid with them."
Such is the value of true friends that somebody once remarked,"Love is rarer than genius itself.And friendship, rarer than love."
