Support Burmese people!!!!!



It's all over the news..Burma is burning.
The military junta had shown a very ruthless and violent response against the protesters, which by large, consists of peaceful, non violent monks. Even after the harsh response by the junta, which has taken lives of around 190 monks (source: www.bpf.org) the protesters are still on their way.
This is the high time for Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), of which Burma is also one of the member nation to take some actions in order to stop this.

Thank god it's Friday !!!

Once again, one more week came to an endless end. I know I am sounding a bit crazy but I will explain it later in this post. Now, I almost forgot when was the last time I kept a record of how many days in a week I have done some creative work. Maybe Anas bhai (my ex-flat mate) would be the right person to throw some light on it [:D] that how many weeks we'have counted just standing near kitchen platform. "Have you realized today week 3rd is ending?"; "Oh really sh** man time is flying like anything". After a couple of more weeks "Did you realize today week # 25 came to an end"; "Oh GODD time is flying like anything". And in the end time really flew like anything and we were still there...watching.

Remembering bhagat singh



Today is the 100th birthday of one of the super heroes of our freedom, Shaheed Bhagat singh. I was trying to find some thing to read in the newspapers but apparently I came to know that Indian newspapers have much more important issues than to remembe a freedom fighter. For example, times of India mentioned about the dilemma of karnataka's chief minister upon the issue of resigning whereas Indian express was more concerned about the welcome of Australian pace bowler Brett lee. Only Hindustan times covered a ceremony in ahmedabad.
I am astonished to see the level of Indian media now a days. They have everything to cover up starting from the wedding of bollywood stars to the inaugration of a new boutique by a politician, but they can't even spend a few lines on one of the martyrs of India.

Chak de India !!!!



With the grand victory of team India, the hugely entertaining tournament with a fitting climax came to an end. The atmosphere became frenzied when the traditional arch rivals fought against each other. The inexperienced and relatively new players were entrusted and have proved that they can be counted upon.
Cheers for India!!!!!

Bye bye aalborg



Hurray!!!! I have got an opportunity to work with a big name Motorola in a big city named Copenhagen (it happened to be ethe capital of Denmark). With this joy and happiness comes another part which is the fact that now I am leaving Aalborg.
Aalborg is the city where I have done my Masters and which is the first place I came to outside India. It is very natural to feel a bit nostalgic about this place. Sometimes we don't give much value to things which are on our disposal by default. When I was in Aalborg, I always used to think about living in a big city, some metro city etc etc. Now, after spending a week in Copenhagen I came to realize how difficult is to live in a city where you don't know anybody and vice-versa. In this week I missed all my comfort, friends, food etc etc. This is the same (almost) feeling which had occurred to me when I left India for the first time. But as Forrest gump has said "life is a box full of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get. I am also waiting for some more surprises from this box of chocolates.

Desire to write

I was reading an article by Edward said, who was a prominent writer and a Professor at Columbia University. While going through the article I have found something very stunning. Perhaps that was the answer to one of my questions which I have asked myself in a previous post. Said gave the reference of Joseph Conrad who said in Nostromo, a book written by him, that a desire lurks in every heart to write down once and for all a true account of what happened. This is the reason why I, sometimes think that I should write down each and every event which is happening to me or had happened to me.
