Transition

Suresh Kalmadi's interview by Rajdeep Sardesai Almost felt sorry for the guy..He was so altruistic that he said "You can put all the blame on me.. after all I'm the face of CWG.." When challenged that 1400 rooms not ready as of yet he vaguely states "..only some rooms not ready.. some work not completed..But will be done in next 48 hrs!" Mr. Kalmadi as OC Chairman, you need not be ready with all the facts ..but atleast come clear on which were your responsibilities,the govt's & which didn't work out..Come on,we will not hang you for this.WE have let worser culprits roam freely!

Woke up today to yet another disgrace in CWG's chapter.. If I hadn't known better I would have sworn that somebody has deliberately jinxed the games from the beginning ... the foot bridge that was supposed to link one of the car parks to the stadium collapsed or rather as one person put it "..2 clips just gave away.. it was nothing serious.." As we know, this is just the latest of a series of issues marring the CWG ... The other one making the rounds in the News today...  As many as 4 countries have come back with complaints on the unhygeinic conditions of the CWG village ... stray dogs, construction workers defecating openly and in the apartments, cleaning work still going on in certain towers meant for the athletes, exposed electrical wires and the major highlight - construction work still going on when the cut-off date for completion is Sep 23rd 10..( for god's sake that is tomorrow !!)... Doesn't all this sound so familiar?? Go and see any construction s...

I feel how I would have felt when I first started writing some 6 years back ... My hands feel rustic when they type in this page... why would they not ? I am writing after almost 1.5 years... Some of my blog friends wondered where I had disappeared to all this time... Everytime I used to get fired up for writing something I will come to this page..but then I would be caught up in something else... at home or office ... I realize now that I have been cut-off totally from the world outside...save for a few life saving friends I would have gone extinct from the social circles... I was just trying to repair the damage and started getting into active networking (Thanks to FB and Orkut!!)... and managed to find some of my very old school friends and some not so old friends... It struck me really hard when one of them commented "You vanished completely !!"   Yes. I thought .. in a way I have.. In this world if you are not plugged to your friends...

Read a forward which succintly tells you what substance a woman is made of ... Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mum said, "I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed." She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning. She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer. She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry. She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the excursion ...

Sick and tired of hearing opinions like "Why did they not listen when they were asked not to go to those pubs?" , "It is absolutely correct that they were beaten up... they had it coming to them.."... "Why do girls want to go to pubs ? Do they want to be raped?!!!" I ask you ..."Why the hell were the boys also not beaten up?...Is it ok if a guy drinks and dances in the pub?" What these men essentially meant was that there is no place for a girl in this society who wants to have a good time too...just like a guy ... If the girl insists to have a good time... then she might as well get ready to be raped !!!! I haven't heard such outdated thoughts for a long time that I forgot that such people exist ...Why does this society tax its women so much ...? expecting a wife as innocent as snow,perfect cook, perfect home-maker, perfect everything... in short the perfect woman... She cannot go out without a body guard for fear of getting molested .. She ...

Was just reading all my old posts and was caught up in all the nostalgic tangle ... 4 years since i started writing... I feel as if I have grown up with this blog :-))))) am glad that I did write down whatever nonsense came into my head ... now I have my own diary !!! A window to the most happening years in life ... each word brings out the feelings I might have experienced then - joy, love,sadness,anger... This blog has seen it all !! it evokes a melancholic sense of happiness in me just to feel all that once again ! I am not able to believe it is the same me who wrote all that !! Things keep changing ... and I seem to have changed with each post ... :-D Transition - I wonder what time my friend suggested this name for my blog .... True to the title.... life has been an endless list of transitions .... Why did things happen the way they happened ?? Was it fate that decided everything ...or was it me ..? given a choice to change some of the not so intelligent decisions that I had taken...

It is a year since I have come to this space ...the longest gap from blogging I guess... it is a sad fact that I am not getting time to do all the stuff that I used to enjoy earlier... blogging... jewellery making (yeah I took to this in the year long gap and stopped it too :-( )... most of all chatting with old friends... people have just stopped calling me... don't blame them much when I don't call them either ... only my good old pulu still has some hope left in me I guess ... she pings me ... prods me to reply ... or downright makes ISD calls n scolds me ... it feels good nevertheless to have such a die-hard friend who has faith n patience in you even if you yourself do not have....God bless u Pulu !! I will remember to get a very good gift for your wedding :-D I wanted to blog on Dasavadharam but I guess my creative juices aren't really doing their magic now ..maybe because it is 12:00 am now ... so let me just write whatever strikes me... The whole year has been a c...
