Perspective Vs Reality!

Girl: I am planning to get married Listener: Wow Great. Tell me more Girl: It’s a pre-arranged wedding .I don’t know him pretty well. Situation 1: Listener1: Wow, you are a gem. Even though you are educated, you still respect and obey your elders and their decisions. You will definitely have a wonderful married life. My blessings! Situation 2: Listener2: What? Are you crazy? Or are you desperate? How can you marry someone whom you don’t know? You don’t even know if you are even compatible…Come-on...Think twice before doing anything stupid. And don’t marry because every other is doing so. Why is it that the same thing is interpreted differently in different situations? Or is it the Perspective that plays the major role. People have moved ahead in almost all possible walks of life. But still, when it comes to certain traditions, some people find it comfortable to hold on to certain perspectives, which may appear stupid in this time of life. Well then again what is stupid is also relativ...

Comedy Central!

Came across a nice show in CNN-Comedy Central! Today it aired the "looking forward to” cliché’ used by George Bush and explanations on how “not looking forward” he actually is! Check it out some time :-) http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/index.jhtml Well since the election time is approaching…what would be the intention of such a video other than a good laugh to the non-voters?

Is The World better being called FLAT?

Last weekend i went to my friend's place for dinner.As i was strolling between the blended flavours of indian food and german rain i came across a book named "The World is Flat". Well as the author has intended, the title of the book did capture my attention , that i forgot that i am a guest and should maintain a converstaion with them.Instead i pulled a chair and started with the preface of the book. http://www.thomaslfriedman.com/ After reading a page or two, i got a picture of how the software industry in India is being viewed and what infosys has done to bring attention to their place.Still i was trying to get the feeling which made the author come up with such a name. As usual turned to wikipedia for some help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_is_Flat Even when humans try hard to maintain and project the curves, i was wondering why Freidman was so into flattening the curves of Earth.Do i lack aesthetic sense when i say i would prefer a world that is more natural...

Are women still suffering?

When life began , it was focused to develop in a more general aspect...and even so long after the establishment of Theory of Evolution , why is it that such a thing called "Gender Inequality" exist in most of the places? If you think .. what made me think about this all of a sudden..but if you have gone through some of my writings..you could have easily made out that i am a prospective chauvinist...unlike the existing ones:-)Well i was having a small talk with my new instructor at gym where he introduced me a japanese lady-his friend.And since we were in a health club ,our talk was also oriented in that way.This lady who had a medium look/built (reference would be any ordinary woman whom you'd see in your every day life -ftv models are not to be considered at this point or any other points which are to follow:-)) told us that she is considered to be one of the obese ladies in Japan.And its hard to get clothes for her ,since in general ,the women there are small,cute and f...

My Experiments with Dance!

When I had some leisure time, here in Germany, I thought of improving or rather acquiring the so called feminine quality – dancing! I was on the look out for a short term course, when one evening I got a flyer from an established dance school here. Without much second thought I registered online – for the Singles’ course. http://www.monika-bauer.de/ When it was 2 weeks prior the date of commencement of the course, I started getting mails about the course/reminders/and some other cheering mails – all in Deutsch. Since dance is more of action than words I was kind of too much optimistic and hoped that my Ignorance of German wouldn’t stand in way of my zeal. And the day come, after much waiting, so did rain. I reached there 10 minutes early. Most of the people were already present and so was the instructor who appeared somewhat young for a teacher…a cute girl in her early twenties. Well , I couldn’t stop observing the fact that people were sitting in pairs, on my way to the nearest availa...

Under the Roof!

Just to give an insight of my environment- i work for an IT company and is currently at Germany for a period of 1 year.Five months have passed now and a couple more to go.I live with 2 of my colleagues -one a girl and another a guy- and my compatibility with them is equal inspite of my chauvinistic approach-i find it equally hard:-) Well..most of the time i find it difficult to adjust with them and rest of the time so do they.And within this last 5 months when i thought i have found the minimum safe distance(which is the MAX) that need to be maintained, to be in peace , i couldnt help but witness the poor wreckage of the shield that enhanced the beauty of the lamp at the dining table. Well i pity this guy - my apartment mate-who tried to win the situation by muscle power...and unlike old situations i kept silent...well what more good/harm can be done to an atmosphere which appear to be frustrating , dominating and heartless ? I used to be kind of frustrated during the last few months ,...

Iraninan Acquaintances!

Last sunday, after a long lazy day, i went out with a book and camera .After roaming around clicking some photos ,trying to learn photography, i ended up in the middle of the main shopping street which was comparitively less crowded .A man , not German from appearence, was playing songs and singing....it was not so bad as it caught my attention...that prompted me to get a seat in the nearby bench ..where i got acquainted with this beautiful and intelligent iranian lady. Never had i had any such high opinion about a girl who is just 2 years elder to me. Never assumed a girl from middle east to be such intelligent,well versed and outgoing...well...it did bring some insight or rather changed my insight about Iran.She was doing her masters in philosophy at Holland after studying software engineering.She spoke German more fluently than i have expected.I was amazed.But when she asked me about my friends here...i was silent..confused... said i stay with my colleagues...but we werent exactly i...

Is it all that simple?

As usual...i was wondering about the purpose of life. Had a quite interesting talk with a friend of mine..cousin to be exact...which provoked this new thought process. Well i wasn't planning to generalise the subject, and hence as usual i started stating and trying to prove how chauvinistic and stupid men could be at some point...As the converstaion started heating up..it turned out that every action,every logics were in some way or other linked with the primary traits that men-primitively apes-had...some faithful traits of evolutions..still clinging to them!Ha!Now they've got something to hold the blame for!! As it turned out that the sole purpose of life was REPRODUCTION! And NORMALLY what ever action/cause men has /have been doing in the normal course of life...in one way or another is targeted at finding a suitable spouse to pass on the genes to the next generation! And strangely,most of the activities men/women have been doing consciously or subconsciously had this hidden ...

Independent Thinking!

I first heard or rather gave a serious thought about this phrase when i was told that i lacked such a thing. Well again i started thinking about it seriously when my relationship started to suffer with the only given explanation that i lacked the so called INDEPENDENT THINKING. As usual google came handy with the following definitions Independent thinking is the desire of a person to convince oneself that the information being presented is true or reasonable. This differs from critical thinking, which is the process used to collect and process information to arrive at a logical conclusion. Dependant thinkers uncritically accept whatever they are taught and rarely question information or asking themselves if the information really make sense. Independent thinkers feel the need to make sense of the world based on personal observations and experiences rather than just going along with the thoughts of others So how is LIFE for the people who lack independent thinking? Or rather how would i...
