Every year steps are announced by college administration to curb the menace of ragging but it continued unabated. Why people want to rag their juniors? The equation seems a bit like mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. Since I was hounded by my mother-in-law, I will do the same to my daughter-in-law, though there is nothing personal. Just […]

CNN-IBN says:
“Women empowerment - the agenda endorsed and publicised as the key reason behind Pratibha Patil’s appointment as India’s first woman president - lost all merit when it came to giving India’s first woman IPS officer the post of the police commissioner.”…
“a demure, non-threatening figurehead Pratibha Patil - who keeps her head covered with her […]

I can’t help posting this. Those who are watching or reading news these days, need some solace. I thank Raymond for this divine distraction.

Watching Pratibha Patil taking oath as President of India, I was thinking how low will we stoop? But we have already sunk to the unfathomable depth of lowness as […]

After watching this video, I have developed reverence for management fundas.

I’ve got this link from writingcave.com.

A repost.
I remember a small girl. Exceptionally bright and naughty. I think in every primary school’s exam they follow the same pattern of sitting arrangement. One junior and one senior on a single bench. That naughty girl was in fifth class. Beside her, another tiny tot of third standard used to sit. The […]

Who is Mika Brzezinski? America cheered as Mika Brzezinski shredded her script in anger at the fanfare for the celebrity heiress.
“Brzezinski’s achievement was to raise a defiant fist in the face of one of the most powerful forces in the modern world: celebrity. Working for US cable news channel MSNBC, Brzezinski decided last week to […]

Chandigarh among worst in male-female ratio
Aborted female foetuses found in Gurgaon
Judiciary in Punjab steps in to tackle female foeticide
I don’t think I am giving links to any new news. But as always I was wondering what happened to those parents who welcomed female child with open arms? They educated us like their sons. They […]

What sex does to you:
1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests have shown that a woman who has sexual relations produces big amounts of estrogen which makes hair shiny and soft.
2. To make love in soft and relaxed way reduces the possibilities of suffering from dermatitis and acne. The sweat produced cleans pores and makes […]

When you receive bunch of red roses for no particular reason, you know how one feels. Of course, ecstatic! There are no other words.

Chubby cheeks, dimple chin
rosy lips, teeth within,
Curly hair, very fair,
eyes are blue, lovely too,
Teacher’s pet, is that you??
Yes, Yes, Yes.
So the “rightâ€? kind of education starts early in life. That explains why Ms Rai/Bachchan considered more influential than Bill Gates and Bill Clinton. It also makes clear, majority of the readers of […]

Amit tagged me ages ago. He says I have to tell five things about myself which are hidden from people. I think it will not be about my dark side. Amit, I don’t think, people will be interested in knowing about me. But still, I am writing.

I am an incredible, incurable, hopeless romantic. (Not of […]

Whenever I read,”A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed,” I always remember Tanmoy. Though I never met him face to face, but I know if I can call anyone a real friend, its Tanmoy. But today I am not going to write about his friendship.
Almost two years ago, I asked Tanmoy to allow me […]

Thanks a lot, Sudipta, for tagging me. But this tag is a difficult one for me. Normally I don’t dream while sleeping. Maybe I think about the troubled issues so often that there is nothing left in my head when I sleep. But still I have bizarre dreams, that is, whenever I have them.

This one […]

Congrats to all of you!!!
This year Time Magazine’s person of the year is you, me or anyone who logged on to his/her PC and writes a post on his/her blog.
The “Great Man” theory of history is usually attributed to the Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle, who wrote that “the history of the world is but […]

I was reading Steve Pavlina’s latest post, “Life – The Ultimate Game.� It’s a beautiful and interesting post. How can he write such good posts is beyond me.
What I see the “game” around myself is- life is really a game of how many hearts you can break, how many one night stands you can […]

I am tagged again. I hope Tarun won’t mind my late respone.
Rules of this tag:

Name the person who tagged you.
Eight things about you (My God!!!)
Tag 6 people.

Person who tagged me : Tarun
Eight Things About Me: That is really tricky. I don’t know how to talk about myself or perhaps there is nothing much to tell. […]

I have found it here :”New Generation Vs Old Generation”
A very self-important college freshman at a recent football game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his own.
“You grew up in a different, actually almost primitive, […]

Recently, I have started noticing a trend. People believing in the “the more we have fun, food and f***, the more successful and happy we are. I absolutely have no problem with that. Every one is entitled to his/her own views and lifestyle. Only through live and let live, we can preserve peace in the […]

I was reading Seth Godin’s post, “The Unlimited power of enthusiasm.â€? Of course no one can dispute its power. I think this one is one of the topics where one can’t take an “againstâ€? stance. We all need enthusiastic people in our organization, team, home, club… Mostly from these people innovative ideas originate and […]

I have seen footage on India TV, where a mother, called Rani, actually sold her one year old daughter, Sahiba. This is not for the first time that I have heard about parents selling their children. But reading and hearing about it and ACTUALLY watching the act is quite different.
Here what I have seen… I […]
