All of you would have read in my profile, I hate reading. But, after moving to HRD and after a tiring day at work, what better way to chill than to bury my head deep into an interesting novel. One thing I have learnt in this industry, is that it is good to keep reading and reading, as education is a life long process. The more I read and learn, the more I can write and entertain you.
I started with Da Vinci code and then moved onto this really interesting novel called Girl Alone by Rupa Gulab.
The novel is based on a Bengali girl, Arti living in Kolkata. She has completed her graduation and wants to pursue a career as a teacher, and continue in the same boring way. Her mother on the other hand, wants her to meet lots of eligible men, make new friends, and have a happening life.
Thanks to her mom, Arti gets a job with an advertising company as a trainee in Mumbai. The shift in her life starts with her shift to Mumbai. After 4 years of being in the same profile with not much salary change, she loses the man she loves to Bimbo Dogess. Its then that she sits to evaluate her life and decides to make changes.
A must read for all those lonely girls who arrive in Aamchi Mumbai with various career aspirations.
And Yes, a must read for those who love humour and intellectual wit.
A girl happy to be in a relationship, but sometimes more happy without it.
(Arti is present in all of us)

Big Boss v/s Big Brother
Rahul Roy v/s Shilpa Shetty
85 days v/s 26 days
Rs.50 lakhs v/s Rs. 3 crores
The Grand Finale happened within 2 days of one another.
Big Boss
Most people in India would have wanted Ravi to win as he was humorous, witty, etc. whereas Rahul Roy was the one who thought and thought before speaking. Carol would have succeeded if she was more familiar with the language. End result INTELLIGENCE rules over all other and Catholics pay heed, to live and lead in India you need to know the National / Regional language.
Big Brother
No one in India had a clue to the happenings of Big Brother, as the show was not aired out here. The only news was from the news and obviously the internet.
Did Shilpa really deserve so many votes, is debatable. Did Shilpa win because of the racist comments that came through???
However, Dear Shilpa, Congratulations on winning an international reality show and making India proud on the International front.
In India, your name does not hold high currently due to the media providing all sorts of information about you.
Only you know the truth and if you are in the wrong, only you can change things.
Congratulations Rahul Roy and Shilpa Shetty on your win.

Its DIFFERENT
Dor
A movie based on the lives of two married women living in two different parts of India – one in Himachal Pradesh, the other in Rajasthan – one a Muslim, the other a Hindu
Y do I want to talk about this movie?
Its Different – Not like Maggi Tomato Ketchup, but because this is the truth. This is Reality
Muslim women are never given freedom, but here is Gul, who is totally loved by her in-laws and gives her the power to think, to act. Different, Right?
In Rajasthan, lives Ayesha Takia. She loves her husband very much, but now is totally heart broken. (Unfortunately, there is an accident, he has fallen off his balcony. Could probably have been pushed off by Gul’s husband. They were flat mates and had got into a fight).
The movie is all about Gul wanting to prove her husband is innocent or else she will lose her husband as Saudi’s laws are very very strict.
On the other hand lies Ayesha, who is all by herself, locked in a room with nowhere to go. Her family having lost the only son and the only ways to money, wants to sell her to the man who took their mansion as rent to bear off the costs. A trade, I would call it. This is the way women ill treat women. This too is Reality
Gul, in her hope to win Ayesha’s confidence befriends her, but does not have the courage to bring up their husband’s topic. In the meanwhile, through a friendship that develops between the two, Gul teaches Ayesha the power of standing for what she believes in.
How two girls – two different backgrounds – two different natures – two different stories become the best of friends. More of friendship lies between the two of them, than between their own husbands.
A movie worth watching
Y
Because IT’s DIFFERENT.

Always be a reason for someone’s happiness

Hey All you wonderful people!!!
It has been a really really long long time since I last posted a comment on this very blog and I have been getting lots of calls and emails to restart my criticism.
I must say a big thank you to all of you for making time to read my crap stuff and for always providing me with your comments and criticisms. As you all know my pc at home has crashed and my dad fell ill too. These things do happen as one ages. Do keep my parents in your prayers.
2006 was an okay year with a promotion and now loads of work uptil my neck and slowly going above my head.
2007 started on a fantastic note. Time with family, friends, relatives, neighbours and parties, get togethers, discs,etc etc. A grand start to the year. And as they say, What you do at the start of the year is what you will do througbout the year. I started my year with dancing and singing and I am sure, I will be a professional singer / dancer by the end of the year.
With regard to marriage, duh...Every thing will happen when God (and my dad) feels the time is right..Till then both Dan and I are having a wonderful time chilling out.
What did you start your year with? Do feed in your naughty New year details to me.
Once again, wish you a beautiful year ahead and may the Good Lord shower his bestest blessings on each and every one of you.
