Vande Mataram,
Today is the REPUBLIC DAY of India. I am naturally very happy. I met a few of the children of my society, they were happy primarily because today was a holiday, and they could see air display from the comforts of their homes. Vow.. there goes patriotism for a toss. I "UNDERSTAND" friends. Please dont take me otherwise. Don't think for a second that I am talking like a pseudo. We are all Indians and we are a tolerant and understanding lot. Our arms are always open to embrace everyone around us, from any caste, creed, religion, nationality etc. WE UNDERSTAND THE WORLD. Actually we are the only people who understand and also the world expects that we must UNDERSTAND. HAMKO SAMAJHNA CHAHIYE.

Whether, we are welcomed in other parts of the world, whether we are being attacked overseas, whether our artists, sportpersons, engineers, IT specialists are not welcomed in other parts of the world....These questions must not come in our minds.We have to understand.

But if Pakistani players are not taken in the bids of IPL, even if the decision is purely a business equation. There will be a hue and cry. Even our HON'BLE Home Minister has to issue a statment, otherwise India will not remain an UNDERSTANDING country.

Please tell me, if due to any reasons, political or otherwise, these Pak players can not make to the matches, then who is at a loss. Are the Team owners plucking money from the trees. Why should they enter in a bad business.

I understand, that this is not fair for the cricketers, for the spirit of the sport itself, but why should we Indians be always UNDERSTANDING. Can our creative people go across the border and earn money and fame like we welcome their creative brains.
Should the door knob not be opened from both the sides.Why are our students being attacked in Autralia? Why can China build a road on the border and we can not? As a layman I am sorry if I am illinformed about these situations. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I think we are a bit extra tolerant, extra compassionate, Forbearing and over streching our arms.

I feel that the countries around us are insecure.

Do you think Indians in majority, barring a few, will miss the missing cricketers. I don't think so. ME POSITIVELY NOT..

Let the dust settle. Times will not remain the same. Again some good samaritans will come forward and bid for the Pakistani cricketers. Just a matter of a few months. We Indians are a HOPEFUL lot as well.

Till then..... remain understanding....and happy ... Well I AM.

Hey, I am Back. Today is sunday,and a very cool day. I believe the temprature outside is somewhere around 14 Deg. C. But there are a few social obligations, that one can't let freeze. So naturally I got up, had a bath, had a hot cup of tea and dashed out to visit my relative, whom I wanted to visit for a long time. But, my good intention had freezed in the Delhi cold and some other more pressing and not so good intentions had over powered this poor good intention. Well, today I was courageous enough to emerge a winner and come out of my home to sit in my car with my poor good intention.

But.. I made a mistake of telling my relative that I am on my way and will have another cup of tea with him. The distance from my home to his is hardly a 10 min. drive. I knew that today being a sunday, I will reach in time. Because on the other days,one can't be too sure of the arrival time. Living in the matropolitan city has its own charm. No body can blame you for not being punctual. You can always blame it on Traffic ( If not Rio. Ha Ha )

Well. Sorry I had somehow forgotten, that we are still living in the village,and not in a so called metro city. How could I forget, that just outside my house, there will be today a SUNDAY MARKET. Vegetables, fruits, utensils, bedsheets, maxis, minis...everything would be available right outside my home. How convenient. Only problem was, that I just could not move my vehicle on the road, which was full of vendors, and buyers of course. Surprisingly.. I saw people getting down from there Cars ( Skodas, Fiats, Suzuki SX4s etc)and bargaining with the vendors for eight annas, one rupee. They had parked their cars on the side and thus bloking whatever little emmty space was available on the road. Naturally, Rickshaw pullars were also sqeezing in, and ofcourse, cows and dogs were utilising there birth right to feed themselves on the road. No body would dare touch them otherwise Madam Maneka's sentiments would have been hurt.

Uffff. Silly Me.. How could I forget, that today was a Sunday, while just yesterday, I could not pass through the other road behind my society, because of the
Saturday Market.I am fortunate enough that I have four roads leading towards my house, and FORTUNATELY we have Monday Market, Wednesday market, Saturday Market, and Sunday Market. UMMMMM. Booo Hooo. Why dont we have more roads so that I could also have Tuesday, Thursday and Friday markets.

No body bothers about this, not even our POLICE, or government. So why should I.
I AM HAPPY....

And yes I forgot to tell you that I finally had lunch at my relatives place. Had a nice SUNDAY.. or in Shahid Kapoor's Kaminey style FUNDAY...

Don't worry..... Be Happy...

BE HAPPY

I am trying. Yes. Am trying for the first time, to write a blog. Or is it that I am trying to make people listen to me.

Well, is it important that people should listen to me. Why should anyone? We all are a happy lot.

Being HAPPY means what? May be just being contended. May be TOO contended. Not even bothering about people around us. Chaos around us....Created by US.

WE THE PEOPLE.. Ha ha

Have we become too contended or should I say too SELF CENTERED, not even to bother about the things happening around us.
We are happy to see people spitting on the clean roads.
We are happy to see no courtesy on the roads by drivers.
We are happy to see roads being blocked by protesters, throwing traffic into a chaos,
We are happy to see a girl being molested on the road in the daylight and ofcourse nights.
We are happy to see Govt. owned liquor shops in our neighbourhood creating a mess.

Lots of reasons to be happy..

Keep following.......Happiness...
I will come back with more... DON"T WORRY ... BE HAPPY
