Padma Shri n Manoj N Shyamlan

What a weird system?? Padma Shri was given to a man for his contributions to the film industry who has supposedly seen only 3 Indian movies and was not even aware of what the award is all about. They say that this award stands fourth in the hierarchy of civilian awards after Bharat Ratna, the Padma Vibhushan and the Padma Bhushan. 

And the man this time was M N Shyamlan. Seems like its becoming more like a craze to give these honors to Indian born foreign nationals and somehow we are taking pride in that. I am pretty sure that Indian government can find more deserving Indian nationals if they search honestly for them. Just wondering about all the civics and political science books I have read till now, which had given me a wrong (:P) info about the award.

Anyways, the Padma Shri goes to Mr. Shyamlan. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!

A good design

Some doors have signs on them: pull, push, slide, lift, ring bell, insert card, type password, smile, rotate, bow, dance or, perhaps, just ask. Somehow, when a device as simple as a door has to come with an instruction manual—even a one word manual—then it is a failure, poorly designed.

If you don't understand, you might consider yourself among one of these.

The picture tells everything..

Colored clothes. 9 players in one frame near the batsman. Surprised????

Probably not.

This is a pic from the 20-20 played last night between Australia and India. As the match was played in Australia, it was an absurd timing here in US of A. I was planning to watch the match in the night from 2:30 AM. Somehow (luckily), I couldn't. After reading the results in news today morning, I was happy that I didn't waste the time and had a good sleep.

India lost miserably. The picture tells everything..

Classic one

शहर की इस दौड़ में दौड़ के करना क्या है?

शहर की इस दौड़ में दौड़ के करना क्या है?
जब यही जीना है दोस्तों तो फ़िर मरना क्या है?

पहली बारिश में ट्रेन लेट होने की फ़िक्र है
भूल गये भीगते हुए टहलना क्या है?

सीरियल्स् के किर्दारों का सारा हाल है मालूम
पर माँ का हाल पूछ्ने की फ़ुर्सत कहाँ है?

अब रेत पे नंगे पाँव टहलते क्यूं नहीं?

Nostalgia

गुनाहों का देवता

कौन सा गुनाह कैसा गुनाह!

किसी से ज़िंदगी भर स्नेह रखने का.. ..और जब वो स्नेह अप्नी पराकास्था पर पहुचने लगे तो उसका त्याग करने का ..

हैं न अजीब बात!

पर यही तो किया चंदर ने अपनी सुधा के साथ

इस भुलावे में की दुनिया प्यार की ऐसी पवित्रता के गीत जायेगी

प्यार भी कैसा ...

सुधा घर भर में अल्हड़ पुरवाई की तेरह तोड़ फोड़ मचने वाली सुधा , चंदर की आँख के एक इशारे से सुबह की नसीम की तेरह शांत हो जाती थी . .

कब और क्यूँ उसने चंदर के इशारों का यह मौन अनुशाशन स्वीकार कार लिया था , ये उसे खुद भी मालूम नाहीं था और ये सब इतने स्वाभाविक ढंग से इतना अपने आप होता गया की कोई इस प्रक्रिया से वाकिफ नाहीं था …
