Toast to life

Warne was gifted, Murli had a rubber wrist. One was a phenom other was magician. But I am not celebrating genius of either. Today cricket is celebrating 600th act of perseverance and 60oth fruit of shear hard work and 600th howaazat of determination. And man who is the reason for all these celebrations is our skipper Anil Radhakrishna Kumble.You may not count him as spinner, you may even call him a medium fast bowler or you may even mock when you read "Right arm leg spin" against his name but he has his name in all the history books right at the top. They say he is not aggressive, may be because he doesn’t sledge, he doesn’t make ugly gestures nor he strips on the balcony of lords. But ask any batsman who has faced him, he would tell u tales of his calm and quite aggression. Bowling one spell after another with such tremendous accuracy requires unbelievable aggression, unbelievable hunger for success, and unquenchable lust for victory. if aggression can be dressed a gentlema...

I loved her, i adored her, i worshipped her. I had devoted countless hours towards her, i had spent sleepless nights admiring her. I can never forget those chilly early morning dates in picturesque New Zealand , her charm reached another altitude altogether in those icy winds. Her tanned body, in white Lenin swinging to the beats of ragge’ gave rainbow to Caribbean beaches. Though she is English by blood but look at her closely you would find her skin tone to be very sub continental. Our love has seen many ups and downs....we had abysmal low when they alleged that she has been tainted by greedy "PUNTERS". Priests of high temples were found to guilty of lowest sins, glamour, glitz and glitter had replaced her calm and serene beauty, she had now become more of "theirs's " and less of "our's".But our love weathered all those storms without a trace of withering. I didn’t have audacity to question her virginity when Messiahs of our world still swore by ...

Sunday morning....As it was third Sunday of the week so i had to be at National College, bandra. Of course for TOASTMASTERS. Though I had slept only for 90 minutes the last night i was all set for meet at 7.30 AM. Grabbed my fave kachori at Bikaneri and caught 8.30 AM bus to Bandra. I don’t know why it always pours when i am on my way to TM, as if someone is trying to scare me ... i guess its a reminder for me ... God wants me to say a little prayer for another successful meet. Again i was at the gate at 9.35 Am sharp, called A to enquire if he was through with his breakfast. Well A is all set to tie knot this November so is on a diet, atleast he claims so. A would have high protein low carb breakfast at Crap station, but A - that jeetu "samosa" that u have by dozons everyweek is not "made at VLCC". K is also back from UK, and surprise surprise, K brought his fiancé' this time, which he was too shy to introduce to us. All through the meeting our area guv(MR K...

"Failure is stepping stone to success" This quote seems to be taken very literally by many of us. We believe that each failure in every scenario acts as a step to success. Life has been more then kind to provide me the stepping stones but has always eluded the pedestal. distinctly remember that in one of the interviews i said " I am not afraid of failure" I never knew that life would ask me exemplify this so many times. ok lets count what all i have lost in all these years: i have failed to crack CAT twice i have been in a miserable crush on a female. But could not convince her of my love. ruined my engineering oh i forgot to mention that i tried my luck at IIT JEE as well and missed out on that as well The list is endless and to be honest I have seldom learned anything from these setbacks. After each of the setback I have either blamed my luck or someone else for my failure. I have vented out the frustration either by screaming, abusing or weeping. I am not alone o...

Reservation, no reservation, Supreme court, Education Minister, OBC, SC/ST - so much hue and cry for what? Is Indian education system worthy of such high drama? Is Indian education system such a big achiever? I belong to IT industry and take great pride in the success of Bangalore and Hyderabad. I completely agree that besides able leadership, the education system has played an equally pivotal role in the success of IT carnival. Our education system is churning out thousand of engineers every year to meet the demand of the industry. But is that the only role education system is supposed to play in a society? Isn't the role of education system far more then competent workers? Education metamorphoses homosapiens into Humans. It evolves to evolve the society. But has our education system brought in any change in last 60 years. Has it been successful in breaking down the shackles of old ill practices of Indian society? My concern is not those remote locales of our country where educati...

Last week's biggest disappointment - Manmohan singh ji 's speech appealing the Industries to cut down on salaries. Not you Mr PM. If this had come from CPI(M), we would have taken it in stride. But when it comes from the person who laid the foundation of incredible India - it comes as a shock. We dont have the audacity to explain economic silliness of the appeal to the economist of his cadre, but my appeal is to Manmohan - the politician - "Dont currupt our PM, Please ". If you are really looking forward to save money to invest in the market, then the best stretegy would be to reduce governments non economice expanditure - reduce the perks that MP and Ministers are enjoying. This would allow the government to reduce taxes on industries - the money saved there can be used by the industires to reinvest. But that would not please "RED " friends of our PM.

when the eyes r bleeding of time angels were craving for crimes when the love gasping for air and humanity lost last of heir scavengers r feasting on my flesh and sanctum has receded to ash when blood has turned oceans red and the earth smells of fouling dead when death is making life to plead touch of flower makes souls to bleed when light had lost to din into tht euphoria of sin come hold my hand and take me across the lake of death b4 i hav lost the hope of breath
