Memoirs !!!!

India vs Pakistan....We live it daily...but the Patriotic sense for a common man rages through during a Cricket Match between the 2 Not so Friendly Neighbours. With yet another ICC event between the 2 nations beckoning, trying to bring back what it feels to a Cricket fanatic when it is India vs Pakistan!! 1. 1996 WC....Venkatesh Prasad and Aamir Sohail!! India was stunned not to see the stumps flying...but a rare moment to see a south Indian uttering those expletives!!! 2. India forgives Ajay Jadeja for his Match fixing angle....Waqar Younis is the Reason!! 3. Miandad's last ball 6 of Chetan Chauhan still Hurts!!!!! 4. Sultan of Multan is our own Sehwag though!!!! 5. The Upper cut of Sachin off Shoib in 2003 marked the onset of 20-20 shots!! 6. Accept it...all us Indians deeply do admire Wasim and Waqar!! 7. Saqlain Mushtaq was the most dreaded bowler for all of us against us!! 8. Glad Sachin broke Saeed Anwar's 194 record against us....that was shameful!! 9. The enti...

A leader is the one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way!!! Leaders!!! We have a lot of them by Compulsion....We have few by Choice!! I have been wondering on the thought of what it is or it takes to become a successful leader...is it Me or my team that will make me a good leader... Well trying to figure out with you all what it takes to Lead the Deal/ Deal the Lead!! 1. A Leader aspires, inspires and for most of them....Conspires. 2. Leader has to know how to Absorb. 3. Leader must slog for the motivation of his team. 4. Leader has to maintain a Thin Balance between his team's Needs and the Managment's...Alas...he ends up being Thinner!! 5. Leader who gives in to his teams requirement is a Leader....rest all are termed as a Boss!! 6. A leader is expected to Lead from the Front.....aha....don't look back....just keep leading...!! 7. To Lead is to Deal...with team..with performers...with demotivation...with failures...with bosses ( for your team)....wit...

10 saal Aapke Naam!!!! Has been hammering our ears since past 2 months now. N why not, India's biggest sporting Bonanza had been underway!!! IPL is 10 years old now. My take on this Entertainment - Blitz - Bowler Bashing- Money Spinning extravaganza. 1. A lot has changed in IPL...From DLF to Pepsi  to VIVO....from Lalit Modi to Rajiv Shukla...from Chennai to Pune!! 2. The IPL has made India an official home to lot many foreign players..West Indians are like our son in laws....Aussies aur guests...South Africans unwanted ones!! 3. The players over the years have changed their teams....the coaches...the mentors....I mean Rahul Dravid to mentor Delhi is a sham!! Delhi already has a Rahul  (ala women empowerment) Gandhi!! 4. IPL is the only way one can draw a cultural connect between chennai n Pune!! After all Misal and Rasam aren't a draw!! 5. IPL is where and only where one can see the likes of Gaurav kapoor, Akash Chopra, shibani dandekar, Charu Sharma   being ...

Being a Single Child is a Unique Experience in itself , something that you did not ask for, something that you could not have even altered!! I am a Single Child and have often been asked how it is to be without a Sibling. Well here I am penning a few thoughts of what it is to be the only one! 1. You are the apple of the eye for your parents!! 2. There isn't any bias! 3. You don't need to share! 4. You get new stuff....Rolled over things from your elder ones aren't there! 5. A lot is expected only and only from you (there ain't anyone else for them) 6. You eventually end up having more siblings than the others!! Neighbours, friends, relatives and all eventually are your siblings! 7. You grow up being extreme...either too introvert or too extrovert!! 8. You have a Lot of Space.....you have not been accustomed to the word Share!! 9. You grow up amidst a lot of care, scrutiny, love and dare!! 10. Your stress ends up being yours...You try to just make people hap...

Mother's Love is Peace...It need not be Acquired...It need not be Deserved!!! Hey Guys....Here I am commiting the most Herendous mistake of my Blog page by trying to summarise the Eternal force in a just a Blog....Maa!! Maa...Mummy...Mom..Aai...Amma...whatever you call her.....every Noun resembles Peace!! Live for a 100 years...she has the privilege of spending 9 extra months with us than anyone else!! She is our 1st Love and the Lasting Memory....Always.....Life can give us all the luxuries....But she is just Irreplaceable!! The first love for even a Daughter is her Mother.....Father wala is an Archies Myth!!! The Milk...the food...the studies..the stress...the open days...the boards..the failures ...the tears...the secrets...the habits....she was and is there always!!! Age and Maa are nowhere connected.. She knows everything...N I MEAN everything...hiding from her is hiding from oneself that one has hidden from Her!!! Maa is the 1st thing that a Child has ever wanted for ...

The Topic stems from the daily visuals of a Mumbai Life..The life of a young career oriented Guy working for N hours, stuck for breath in daily commute, worried about his parents expectations and concerned about his Friends' Botherance!! Amidst all these is his own Tryst with Balance of Life summarised as below 1. Work How much and How to is the dilemna. The hours put in and the inefficiency of switching oneself off from work and the ever increasing Rat race leading to the much hyped Work Stress. Few so called experts have a solution to this naming it 'Smart Work'. But the irony is be it Smart or Hard...WORK still has to be omnipresent!! 2. Parents For those who live with their parents know this is tough. Your earnings and growth have to be better than their friends' children but at the same time you are to give them the time..the smile..the health and the social strata that follows..work is cursed if you reach home when they are sleepy...your commitment towards ...

Kuch aise pal...kuch aisi yaadein banati hai jo meri Zindagaani...aaj kuch lamhe churakar pesh kar raha hoon main, mera jeevan...Meri Zubaani!! Woh ladkhadaate kadam..woh maa ka pehla pyaar...woh uski mamta, prem aur jeevan ka sabse mahaan Dulaar!! Woh Papa ki daant, aur unka vaar...na jaane kyu bachpan beeta aise...jaise ki unhone kiya sirf atyachaar!! Ladakhpan ke woh dost...woh jeevan bhar ke bane jo mitr...aaj jab jeevan jiya toh samaj mein aaya unke bandhan ka sutr!! Woh school ki pehli teacher..woh unke adarsh aur unke sanskaar...aankein bhar aati hai jab guzarta hoon schoolse...Mann kehta hai..chalo chalein school fir ek baar!! Woh bachpan ke khel..na dhoop na bhookh na pyaas....aaj rupiyah chalata hai dilo dimaag ko...najaane hai kambakhth dil ko kiski aas!! Cricket ka balla aur gilli wala danda...nikal jaate the yuhin saare din....aaj bechaini aur maatamsa cha jaata hai...uss internet wale wifi ke Bin!! Woh masoomsa bachpan jahaan Zindagi guzri rank ke peeche....ab toh ...
