Morning Tea

Start your day with a cup of coffee

KBC4

KBC 4 is back with a bang with its old (no pun intented) host, the legend himself, "MR Amitabh Bachhan". I remember the hysteria which the first season has caused. At 9.00 P.M. the whole family would be glued to TV , guessing , learning and outdoing each other. It bought the family TV viewing together which was losing with younger generation moving to MTV and V channels. This time, program is also sending a message. Like in the last episode, when a person named Vanraj from small town won 25 lacks it emphasised on the importance of education for one and all. More then just a quiz show it also gives us a peak into the personal lives of the contenstants, their thinking, their motives and desires. It lets the contestant enjoy his moment of sitting on the Hot seat and probably winning the life changing amount. Well Kudos to the show and hope more and more follow!!!

Missing India

Here sitting in US idle for hours and hours I miss home so much. I miss India.. I miss the hustle bustle of India...The bazaars...the roadside pani-puri..the sari clad aunties..sipping evening tea together with family...the overcrowded buses and trains..the uneven roads and cursing them..the familiar viewing of Hindi TV..those favorite commercials...Indian weddings and parties for no reason..fighting with my brothers..playing with my niece..home cooked food and my mum..going to temple and following the rituals on festivals..going to office and working between the breaks..going fr a shopping spree to d-stress..bargaining with the rickshawala fr a rupee or two and then spending thousand in a mall...the ring of my mobile phone..the gossips in the late nites with my friends..I miss so much............

Bigg Boss 4

This is from a true ardent fan of bigg boss 4. I followed almost all the seasons of this show at times somehow toppling the time to catch up. I remember during the season 2, for me and bunch of my buddies at office it was a hot topic of conversation during breaks and Lunch time. Season 1 I remember because of the sweet love story of Aryan and Anupama. Season 3 I found very boring and just you to catch up with a hope of it living up to the past seasons. Well coming back to season 4 its full on masala.. wid a potpourri of different mix of people with different backgrounds, culture, region, religion.. and the best part is this time there is no aggressive entity (unlike some "S" and "R" :)).. Well it would be premature to predict any one's win but there are my personal favorites to whom I would love to see in finale ?(If there is one !!!! given all d controversies surrounding it)..

1) Sameer Soni : A former investment banker with a demure but strong personality. Haven't seen him much before but he does come also as a polished person with no dirty games. He has come across as a "sweet" person..

2) Shewta tiwari : Well she is on list coz she displays a certain maturity and definitely a tough individual (given all her hardships :() )...I don't think she is faking anything. Probably she is determined to win but that's why they are there. Whosoever says otherwise deserves to be thrown first coz they haven't understood the very basic concept that is a Game. If you really want to know how you can survive without luxuries, how much you are strong and blah blah ..rather then choosing a illustrious house of bigg boss there are many ashrams around India.. Should try them..wot say???

3) Manoj Tiwari..For simple reason, he is a very grounded person .. he is unmasked and unpretentious (unlike many..)..he reminds you of all those faces you watch when you cross a village and want to know them better..

Well this is my favs ..lets Hope at least one of them makes to the finale (fingers crossed )///

Public Speaking

We all have jitters when we have to express our views in front of a large audience..this is the fear of Public Speaking..True some are naturally good orators..but this is not the skill which cannot be developed ..Here are few tips to overcome the public speaking phobia..

1) Command on the Language - first and foremost learn the language..start practising the vocab of the language. Public speaking is indeed all about ornamented words..don't try to learn many words in one day and then vomit them when given a chance..Its about using them appropriately when required..so go slow..learn one word per day and start using the word in day to day life understanding all its connotations.

2) Command on The Topic - command on the topic is very important. Read and gain as many knowledge as you can. When it comes to presenting the topic state facts and use affirmative sentences. Facts make your speech more authentic which in turn gives you the required momentum and confidence.

3) Practise - So the good ol adage "Practise makes a man Perfect" holds true till date. Practise and Practise. Once you are at ease with recalling vital points spontaneity would also soon follow. Make your friend and family a mock audience and make them listen to your speech. If you can speak comfortably in front of your folks you would get away with "strange" glaring eyes too.

4) Be Neutral on the Stage - While on stage in the beginning look at the audience but avoid looking straight into their eyes. Address the whole gathering but avoid making "full eye contact" it can be intimidating at times. If at all you want to, you would always find some approving kind souls in the audience nodding to every single word you say. Those are the people who acts as your comforting cushion.

Having said that as you start speaking more and more the confidence builds up and the phobia expels..:)

Smile a Lot!!!!

Every Tear which falls of your eyes;
I will collect and keep;
I want to take all your sorrows;
And give all my happiness;
Smile alwz not for the world
But for me;
Coz with every smile of yours
I take a new birth...

Keeeeeeeeeeeeep Smiling !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Voyage for redemption…

In the dust of memories,
I can still glimpse blurred images,
I can still hear the distant voices
Yes, I can still feel and breathe
What I call, my motherland

Its long I left the place
And embarked on this journey
The journey to carve a niche for myself
But standing on its epitome I realized
I left my soul somewhere
And buried myself under the boulders of name and fame

It's been years I went to the place
Where I took my first step
Where I opened my eyes
Where I sensed love
Where I understood the life

I came to a place where everything was alien
Even the air in which I breathed made me feel weird
But I stayed on coz I knew I will make a mark over here

Today, my motherland is ablaze
With so much scarcity, and so much commotion
People divided over things like religion
My heart cries when I hear of bloodshed in my own region
But what can I do, rather than just shed a tear or two

I can't just leave and go
I have a family to hear
And many obligations to bear
Then something within me surfaces and says
U has a responsibility towards your country too
Forgot all those martyrs who lived before you?

Something within me boils I want to pack my bags and move
May be I can make a difference
At least I will die in peace I din betrayed, I was not an absconder

But I can't go; the cobweb of relations binds me and holds me tight
There is a fight within me not once but many times
Alas its just the family man who always grin.....

Today I read the newspaper
And saw the face of the person
With whom I have shared a part of my life,
Those innocent days of life
We have learnt to paint the canvas together
We have learnt to sing the carols together
But he took the last step alone
He has laid the life for the country, Man

I felt so belittle
Breathing but gasping
Alive but dead
My conscience no longer can elude me
My errands no longer can baffle me

I waved a goodbye to my kin and folk
I have lived all my relationships well till now
There is something more to live
A call, which would not go unanswered now...
I followed the call and started a new voyage
Voyage for redemption…
