A 25 year old, former Miss India, Nafisa Joseph hangs herself to death. Because of her troubled relationships, some say. Somehow it pains to see somebody die for want of love. She is a beauty queen. Beauty queens are crowned after their display of poise and self-confidence. She was a TV anchor. Such anchors have a lot of confidence, they say. I refuse to believe. She was a model, had the model

I should mark this phrase "Glistening Gult".   There is the usage of 'The sun rising in the west' in Tamil to refer to something that is improbable. I think I will make a change and start using 'Nice Gult' instead of that because this too is improbable..   Man..."Who let the Gults out"..

I think people should take pride in their age, whatever it might be. I am reminded of how Julianne Moore had said that she wouldn't want to hide her age because age brought along with it so many experiences. Why hide all of them ? Why deny having experienced life all these years ? Even though it is easy for me to just say it, I feel one should feel proud of the fact that one is 'so many' years

I am reminded of what my good old friend used to say - 'Anyday I can leave all this software coding and start coaching people for engineering entrance examinations'. And that used to keep her a lot more confident. I feel one should be familiar with some trade/business idea which he/she can go back to. This is very important in this age of huge loans and the 'uncertainity of software industry'.

I don't mean to say that those who run non-profits should deny themselves of pleasures of any kind and subject themselves to pain. I certainly don't expect this. But it is something about the way they approach a problem. They always have this attitude 'What is in it for me?'

I saw an ad in craigslist about a non-profit in Bay Area which rescues Cocker Spaniel breed of dogs. I can understand a 'non-profit' which rescues dogs.Does this mean that they won't rescue other breed of dogs ?

The word 'Dear' is used very frequently in India. Somehow the word 'Dear' is very personal for me and I use it only for family and close friends. For others I prefer a simple 'Hi' . I can't help but notice the fact that especially when you file a customer complaint, the reply comes with a 'Dear Mrs.XXXXX' . Why do customers get so close to suppliers when they file a complaint ?

Around five years back, when I was commuting by the local trains in Mumbai, there was a very old Parsi lady. She was very thin and so weak. She got into the train and just sat down on the floor. She didn't have the strength to even reach the seats. She had to get down at Dadar West and move to the East side. She asked me how she could reach the other side of Dadar.

I should try and be relaxed and not get worked out. I see the office boy who sits at a table a little away from my desk. He is eating something. The phone rings. He finishes his eating, throws away the cover and then picks up the phone. He takes his time. Maybe he has a lesson to teach. If I were in his place, I would leave the eating and pick up the phone. I have this tendency to ignore 'me'

I see around me a lot of 'not-so-capable' people holding such important positions. Maybe they are very capable in things that I fail to see. Maybe that is why they are actually very 'successful' and I am not so 'successful'. Maybe I criticize too much. Maybe I look for perfection in everything.

It is very disappointing to lose things that you 'condition and season' for your needs. I went out for early lunch and somebody took away my chair. I can't tell which one is mine.

Sometimes, one's conditioning and background can cause a person to see a situation very differently. Associated with these problems is the problem of identifying so closely with my own point of view that I feel my personal honor depends on having my views triumph. Maybe this is what people call EGO. Personal honor does not lie there, it is somewhere deeper. Inside.

A.R Rahman has done a very good job in lending the music of 'Rhythm' to 'Lakeer-The Forbidden Lines' . 'Paighaam' which was 'Kaatrae en vaasal vandhai' seems to be very well done. Atleast the lyrics seem to be in synchronization with the music and the spirit of the song. Mehboob has penned the lyrics in Hindi.

I feel bad words should be reserved for the right ocassions. You do full justice to those words, only when they are delivered at the right moment. If used in normal day to day language, one tends to dilute their filthiness.

Assumption is a sin;funny words;funny mouse. I assumed that good writers would live up to their words. I believed that a good writer brings out words from his heart. It isn't always so. Now I have understood that a good writer is good with his words. And his words come from his brain. The creative part of the brain. His brain is good. Period. Doesn't necessarily mean that the person is good.

Some people,including me, don't realize how much they hurt others. But they very well understand how much they are being hurt. I don't understand this selective realization. I have lost the ability to speak effectively. Maybe I think a lot about whether to deliver the words or not, and then a very confused, grammatically incorrect version slips out of my tongue so that not much harm is caused.

Moving Forward.... This is something I have learnt recently. It is really very taxing when you expect the other person see your point or to make the other person accept that he/she was wrong . It is very taxing and leaves back a lot of frustration and anger. It is more peaceful to let go and not be rigid. "Time" is the biggest teacher and if you are really right, then one day the other person

Second Chance "You don’t throw a whole life away just because it’s banged up a little bit." --The trainer in the movie "Seabiscuit" . I read today that this movie is all about how people emerge victorious inspite of their previous futile attempts. Maybe life is like a wild horse. It shall throw you up and down and rough you up a little. Are you ready to tame it and enjoy the ride that the

Please write... Sometimes I have certain feelings but not the words. I think that maybe my feelings are beyond words.But then, once in a while, you see somebody craft your feelings so beautifully in words and you feel 'Ah ! This is a good writer and did this writer put his hand into my heart to churn the feelings out ? '. This was exactly what I felt when I read your words in last week's email

HOPE, FOND HOPE What keeps me going ? Maybe the soft voice inside me that says that if I wait and try a little more, a little bit more and not lose hope, good things shall happen. Just when I am listening to this inner voice, I cannot help but notice that whilst I have been patiently waiting in the queue for a while, the person who just walks in, reaches out to the counter with a smile. Luck,

Fear Lurking in the nooks and corners of the web has its advantages. I found this somewhere written by a good soul called James Redfield. I don't know how practical it is but there is definitely some truth in it . "The problem with fear is that it can be very subtle and sneak up on us very quickly. You see, a fear image is always about some outcome we don’t want to occur. We fear failing,

I like people who write about general things in a blog. Like the girl who writes about how it pains inside of her to see young children being abused. Or the boy who writes about how Indians are pitted against each other in the never ending North vs South strife. Some people write about what jewellery/clothes they wore at a wedding and where they are dining these days and the times they have spent

How To Season a Wok With the vast selection of cooking devices out there, none comes close to the sheer simplicity of the wok. Its curved shape enables all the cooking surface to heat evenly, and means that you can scramble eggs in one bit whilst cooking fried rice in the other parts. Despite its simplicity, cooking device manufacturers have somewhat complicated the wok by giving it

Why do Indian marriages have so much pomp and show ? Can't two people simply get married without all the jazz ? Is it because in itself the institution called marriage ...

The "some time back" Syndrome Today I spent a lot of time reading blogs and journals of other Indians . It felt good to know that they all have their minds occupied with some movies and good books . Their ages range from mid twenties to late thirties. They all have this enthusiasm and energy about things. I remember how I was like this a few years back and then I wonder what happened to me .

Somehow my head feels very light today . And I like it ..It has been a long long time since it felt this way..Maybe I felt like this for the first time when I started passing in Algebra exams .

Linda Goodman says so. Amazing how true some are .. "Consider anything only don't cry . . ." The female Scorpio has a deep, mysterious beauty. She's magnetic, proud and totally confident. But she has one secret regret. She was not born a man. I can almost feel the heat from here when Pluto women hear about that revelation. There's not a Scorpio female alive who doesn't think she's all woman,

I was reading about 'Night Terrors' this morning. Maybe my condition is a combination of Sleep Paralysis and Night Terrors. I browsed a lot of sites and understood this. I need to calm down, be stress free and speak more about my feelings rather than hiding them. I should start reacting to things than feel mentally paralyzed. One website says that an afternoon nap will help. Maybe I should try it

I spent a lot of time this morning thinking and writing about emotional violence and psychological scars . I then decided it was time I regained my strength and took the bull by its horns. Psychology and shrinks are overrated. I was reading 'The Mayor of Casterbridge' by Thomas Hardy and people's reviews on the same. Some people felt that it was very boring and corny.

Meg Ryan was on TV today talking about her new movie 'In the Cut' to be released later this week. She was referring to one of the scenes in the film where the hero woos the lady with his words and the way he speaks. A couple of nice thoughts followed. Eroticism is more than flesh . Sometimes the way your loved one speaks, the timbre of the voice , the pitch and the modulation can be more erotic

Some of my favorite lines ... Virginia Woolf in 'The Hours' It is possible to die. Laura thinks, suddenly, of how she -how anyone- can make a choice like that. It is a reckless, vertiginous thought, slightly disembodied -it announces itself inside her head, faintly but distinctly, like a voice crackling from a distant radio station. She could decide to die. It is an abstract, shimmering notion
