vanity destroys itself..

The necklace, a novel by Guy de Maupassant. I haven’t read the novel myself but we used to have a chapter in our curriculum. The overview of the story is that Madame Mathilde Loisel  lost a diamond necklace which she had borrowed to go to a ball, at which she being the center of attraction, was quite a success. But that success cost them 10 long years of their life which they spent in paying the debt of around 28,000 francs that they incurred to replace the lost necklace with a similar one, without the knowledge of the owner, a friend of Madame Loisel. One day, after all the debt was paid and Madame Loisel and her husband Charles, leading a very plain life, met that old friend and were really shocked to find out that the necklace was only an imitation and was worth 500 francs.

If only Madame Loisel hadn't lost the necklace..
If only she had the heart to tell her friend the truth..


These were the thoughts I had as a child and now I think:

If only she was humble enough to go to the ball with the things she considered trifle but were her own..
Madame loisel's vanity ruined the very best time of not only her life, but her husband's too.

This story is repeated over and over in most of the ladies' lives, not entirely but to some degrees. We people suffer and the cause is that we are too vain to introduce the real selves to the world. We try to prove nonsensical things like beauty, fashion-sense, trends to the world but actually we become a showpiece in this showcase world.
Even as I write this, maybe somewhere I myself am going the same way..
Who knows??
Rightly said, vanity destroys itself..
But then who cares..
LADIES WILL BE LADIES..
:P

A1 rocKsss.... :D

I dedicate this blog to one of the coolest batch, I ever had during my entire academic life...A1 and especially to the creator of the 'A1 rocKsss...' phrase, Saavan(sA1, as he liked to address himself, :p).
The batch comprised of a bunch of souls that were interested in doing anything but what the teacher said. Some would choose a corner seat and start following their religion viz. gossip, some would stick their nose to the computer and go on exploring the the unending world of THE COMPUTERS (sometimes even without the Internet, lol) and some would just dedicate their full attention to each and every motion of everybody, interpreting them and then having fun from it.
We were always lagging in assignments and tutorials and practicals and most of us beleived in plagiarism, so we needed just a day or two to finish off all our assignments, which often was an abridged version of the others' work.
I consider myself really really lucky to have got such a batch during my engineering days, how else could I have got through the tedious and never ending labs..
A1 really rocked, no no no..
A1 ROCKSSS..
:D

ab na rahe we pinewale...

                            अपने युग में सबको अनुपम
                            ज्ञात हुई अपनी हाला,
                            अपने युग में सबको अद् भुत
                            ज्ञात हुआ अपना प्याला,
                                              फिर भी वृद्धो से जब पूछा
                                              एक यही उत्तर पाया-
                                              अब न रहे वे पीनेवाले,
                                              अब न रही वह मधुशाला|

 The above is an excerpt from Shri Harivanshray Bachchan's 'Madhushala'. It depicts the imporatnce of the era to the person in which he lives. We think that now is the best time to live. We love our songs, our trends and styles, our way of living, in short everything. To us, the present time is the best one and we can't imagine life without some of the things which, now a necessity, were not in even in the list of luxury some time ago. The question arises in our minds that how people lived then, with no TV, no cell, no modern day facilities. How they were able to entertain themselves when their options were limited to the All India Radio and the Doordarshan.  How on earth did they stay in contact without sms and internet.

But but but, this is our thinking, not of those who lived then. When asked, our parents would look somewhere in the horizon and start with "This is nothing. Life was what we lived then", followed by all the things they did, the fun they had even without our so-called basic necessities (a gift of modern technology), the times that they wished to be back.

Our grandparents would go further back in the time and tell their tales.

So, the thing is no matter whatever or however were the times, people always love their time, the time of their youth, the time when blood gushed through their veins ready to take up any adventure, the stories of their love and break ups and crushes. Person of any generation, when speaking on this topic would always say:
 अब न रहे वे पीनेवाले,
 अब न रही वह मधुशाला

happy hol!days.......

Google's doodle for today is that of HAPPY HOLIDAYS. It has six buttons, clicking on each of them generates the above image. The perfect Christmas doodle, which can light up any dispirited soul. Each button also plays a sound from the musical notes of 'Jingle Bells' and finally the note button, on clicking will play the most beautiful notes ever made - the Jingle Bells, of course.

Doodle word itself is an interesting one; scribbling absentmindedly. This is the most creative and fruitful way of killing your time when you are forced to attend some unwanted and unavoidable lectures or discussions. Doodling in classroom may have created some of very invaluable pieces of art. Talking about Google Doodles, well they may need all your mind while scribbling but are always fun to watch. Till this date, Google has put around 259 doodles on its home page since 1998, some country specific while some global. Whatever the day may be, Google always has some doodle for it, making every day special in a special way.

Be it some scientist's birthday

or be it E. C. Segar's Popeye photograph

or the playable version of pac-man

doodles are always fun to watch and sometimes play too.

Long live Google

Long live doodle

And ya, do catch today's doodle. You'd feel:

'ts Christmas time and a high time for the long cherished holidays.

so Enjoy

And HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

OSO vs The Secret

'agar tum kisi cheez ko shiddat se chaho to puri qaaynaat use tumse milane me lag jati', a dialogue from the blockbuster "Om Shanti Om" which conveys exactly the same message as Drew Heriot's "The Secret".

OSO is all about how a junior artist always wishes to become a superstar and believes in his wish. He dies trying to save his love but in his next birth, he gets every single thing that he used to think of and repeat over and over to his friend. the aforementioned dialogue means that if we heartily wish  something, then the whole universe tends to give it to you.

This very concept, we see in The Secret, which is a compilation of revelation of various people including some really big and famous heads, how their life changed when they followed THE SECRET.

All you had to do was to think and think and think about your wish and TADA, you will accomplish that.

So, the thing is what to do, which film to opt.

Well, i would go with OSO. It, at least has some good songs and of course Shahrukh. 

What's your say?

P.S. - Kunal Sir, I am sorry.(if ever you read this)

my mummy's sopa de tomate!

For past three days, every evening I have been making tomato soup for my mother.

The reason, she thinks that it helps to improve her appetite and the cause through which she found it was that one fine day, my father thought of making tomato soup just for fun in his leisure time. his leisure became my tedium. :p

Well, it won't last long, if considered her previous such practices.

She took to exercise once in which she was very regular, skipping every other day for no reason. This lasted for an entire fortnight. Too long a time compared to her 'after dinner walks' which ceased in two days. haha!!

Last winter, she took amla (indian gooseberry) juice, which ended soon followed by all vegetable juice.. YUKK..

Well , lets see how long the tomatoes remain on her chart!

And it seems that I am totally following her example. ( After all heredity is some thing :p)

Its my record too that I can't keep any of my resolution more than a month. I have tried studying sincerely from the school's first day(which I always have failed disastrously), using paper bags, look after the very few plants that i have (at present, none of them can be called alive) and the biggest one is the fact that my longest job was of 2 and a half months ( either I leave or they fire me).

But whatever it may be, I enjoy my and my mother's ineffable actions..

LOVE YOU MOM..
