At last a ray of sunlight, as for the last 3 days it has been overcast and the climate was london-like, with slight drizzle on saturday, and it was due to this stupid rain I was late to meet someone ,whom I was supposed to meet on time.
Yesterday an interesting astronomical phenomenon occurred when crescent shaped moon was flanked by venus and jupiter in all their shining glory.
But history interests me more than astronomy, just today I was reading about pyramids, it is fascinating. If money would have been rich I would have been a historian. But then I like so many things, that I would have got bored being just a historian.
Sometimes I feel lonely.... I wonder why?

A Nice Article about Love by Swami Vivekananda
I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were
sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand
with
some water and held it before me, and said this:
"You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."
This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and
allow
it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to
close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the
first cracks it finds.
This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try
to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling
out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .
For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are
people you love, allow them to be free beings.
Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.
It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly
practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must
sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an
unconditional caring."
Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take;
but by the moments that take our breath away.....
Life is beautiful!!! Live it !!!

A few ideas for all Indians!!! to combat these terrorizers
A few ideas for all Indians, in the wake of rising terror attacks.
Don't fear!!!
Don't be afraid!!!
Be alert!!!
Think of this whole country, or at least your locality as your house or your kids, and keep an eye on it, as you would on your kids or your house.
Expect the government to be helpless and learn a few things like,
>first aid (things like what to do when shot, to stop bleeding,etc)
>hand to hand combat (at least!)
>increase in fitness levels (in case you have to jump or run)
It would be great if military training and military service of one year, at least, is made compulsory for every Indian (college level) .
Lets fight with power!
Lets fight as tigers!
I know all this is pointless and people who can make all this happen are not reading this,
but still I got to write it.
Jai Hind!
Bharat Mata Ki Jai!

After Effects of Mumbai Attacks
The after effects of a terrorist strike in any part of India (except J&K) is the same, and this time it will be no different.
All public and commercial places will have an alert security setup, which involves checking bags and cars, etc. These checks will go on for few days and then after that, its back to our good old, callous attitude. Sometimes change is inevitable, in India it is avoidable.
------------------------------------------------------------
With all their heart all the humans in this world would like to pay tribute to all the martyrs of this attack.
------------------------------------------------------------
Still some questions arise!
When will all this stop......it seems like a cycle...
one guy in his country has seen his family die, he thinks whole world is his enemy,
and he goes on a killing spree to avenge, then people who were killed in this have to be avenged, so what happens in the end is that everyone is avenging, its a vicious cycle, can't there be peace.
------------------------------------------------------------
But that does not mean anybody should get soft in dealing with such atrocities.
What we can do is, in some way stop the fueling of this terror machine, which would at least slow it down.
Take Care Mumbai!!
Get Well Soon!!

Arsenal will against Chelsea!!!
Arsenal win 2-1 in an well played football match against chelsea. No chelsea player could net the ball, because the only goal they scored was an own goal by Arsenal.
Arsenal team played well, and fought to first level the score after being a goal down, and then continued the fight to get a lead and then to keep the lead. The battle was not fierce as chelsea players could hardly get on target, with only "thug" tactics of Terry being their best show.
Its all good,
>V. Persie got two goals, what more could you ask?
>Cesc and Ade played well
>Nasri and Gallas didn't dissapoint
>Clichy and Sagna are best full backs
>Song tried hard to hide the truth that he is average player
>Denilson, Djourou, tried hard to make a difference
>Almunia was solid

Lots of stuff.....so less time... maybe I should be less lazy.....
I saw hindi movie yuuvraj, it is a fine movie, too many songs and slow pace, Salman khan was better, Anil Kapoor was great, Mithun-da was solid, Katrina was sweet, dialogues average, emotional content not overdone.
I saw Star Wars and Jet Li movies (DVD) this weekend, enjoyed them too.
May the force be with you.
Change of my callertune, from rock anthems to bollywood love songs has spunked many, but what can I say it, that is what happens to a ""un amante"" (Spanish).
Winter is not yet back, it was false alarm, the warmth is still there without the chills.
My cousin Pankaj is planning to buy a Royal Enfield Bullet bike, isn't that cool!
My love for Road-Runner(my bike) is rivaled only by my love for her and my family. Still a bullet is a special bike, a bike that I will never buy, but would always want to ride it.
One of our ex-colleagues, Patricia came to visit us, she bought those expensive chocolates that are very bitter to taste, (yuck!!), give me a chocolate bar like (snikers, mr. big, crackle, five star) and I am happy. My crieria for chocolates is simple.
They should have mix of chocolate/caramel/raisins/nuts!! thats all!!
I have stopped drinking masala soda so my bowel movement should normalize soon enough.
I got two new books, one small book about Sambhaji and other about Vivekananda's teachings.
One is with Mahendra Hasabe and the other is with her. So I have no choice but to read one book which I haven't touched yet, Holocraft Covenant by Robert Ludlum. Lets see how that works out.
Thats all for now, no time to proof read, Sameeta wants to surf the net, so I need to log off and surf my dreams (maybe about her).
Adios my dear readers!!!

Quick Update
Road Runner's (my bike) rear tire got punctured, thanks to a strong thorn. It cost me 240 rupees, and a bit of pushing as the tire repair shop was close by.
Saw the latest bond movie (quantum of solace) thoroughly enjoyed it. James Bond, Joker(Batman movie) Indiana Jones, and Optimus Prime are my favorite movie characters of the year.
A few weekends back went on bike ride to Harihareshwar and Diveagar(465 kms total) it was fun.
Got gods blessings and had fun in sea. On route, Ghondse ghat is a danger ghat.
Her vacations are over and winter is starting to creep back, signaling dry skin(uurrgghh!!)
Overdosed on Masala Soda after dinner the whole week.
I have run out of my hair cream, they are drying up!!
Yes, got new helmet(Studds Ninja), knee protectors and also a pair of closed-fingers gloves.
Well that is all for now, take care.

1. There is only one happiness in life -- to love and to be loved.
George Sand
1804-1876, French Novelist
2. What I needed most was to love and to be loved, eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me; and sure enough, I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy, by suspicions and fear, by burst of anger and quarrels.
St. Augustine

3. "When you are in Love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams."

Shannon Crown
6. Pleasure of love lasts but a moment, Pain of love lasts a lifetime.

7. If you love me, let me know. If not, please gently let me go.

Sam Keen
9. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
Heather Cortez
Helen Keller
Golmal Returns Movie Review
Golmal Returns Movie Review in a nutshell>>>>
>Rip-off of 1973 Hindi film Aaj Ki Taaza Khabar.
>Even though you can find references to the first part this one isn't a continuation of it.
>Vrajesh Hirjee's serpentine act is repeated from the original and there's also a tribute-cum-takeoff on the missing member Sharman Joshi.
>There is also legacy of 'Black comedy' that is continued and there is also Bhansali's Saawariya to the spoof-list.
>The humor varies from superior to slapdash variety ranging from subtle satire on Saif-Kareena tattoos to the overstated Ekta Kapoor soap spoofs.
>There are some intended parodies like the character names Gopal Kumar Santoshi and Mira Nair. Then there are some jokes like the Ajay Devgan - Celina Jaitley salsa sequence on the yacht.
>The mute Tusshar Kapoor indulge in most of the cursing so that the writer can avoid the censor board sniping.
>Thankfully the first half is devoid of any songs and the only action item number in the second half is fun to watch rumored to be derived from Rajnikant's Sivaji - The Boss.
>The climax is typical Anees Bazmee - Priyadarshan style, where the entire cast gets together for a silly and intentionally exaggerated ending.
>The chemistry shared by Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade is very good and their comic timing in the film made them the most entertaining acts.
>Tusshar's mute show ranges from the completely incomprehensible to the funnily weird antics. Shreyas has a natural flair for comedy and makes you laugh with ease.
>While Arshad Warsi is wasted, Ajay Devgan was only decent. Amrita Arora still can't act and Celina was fine, Anjana had nothing to do other than smile, while Kareena didn't impress she was within character.
Thats all!! some info sourced from internet
