Rangoli

Rangoli Competition on 'Kanada Rajyotsav'at Nov 12 '10 at Tata Consultancy Services. Participate is more important than winning, perfect statement because we came First from Last. But even then m proud , dt ask me y...might be driving force for the next time to do good will be the reason....

It was a time when i was sad that i was not a able to dance for kanada rajyotsav at my office, so thought would buck up for something else, that's when rangoli competition jumped up. Why not try that!
Last time when I was in college , eng, i and my 2 best frnds had done ganapathi which went very well. But ya we did nt win because ganapthi turned up writing urdu...this story i feel will specify later, or els only in person because i was the one to mess. But this time i thought we will give more better oppurtunity to ourself and win

Ofcourse my best frnds where nt around , but caught my frnd/ colleage for it

But the sad part is on thusday we were so busy , we were nt able concentrate much on the rangoli that which we were to imprint in our office premises ,and only on friday morning at 10 30 when the competition started we realised we didnt get papers/ bowls to collect different rangoli powders. Also in this mess we realised the powder which we got is nt the normal ones but the ones which is very slippery. These powders required sand / salt mixing :(

Then came the 2 other girls whom we had called for colouring, to chase them to shop, to get the different type of powder and we 2 adjusting/ we can say literly borrowing from left and right contestent for that white powder.

Also for the first time i used removable marker for putting dots and connecting them


Later when the other girls reached it was only 20 min remaining for the competition time to end, and it was  like Indian cricket team batting at last 2 overs, we girls tried all sort of permutation and combination and landed up with the one which you are seeing in the pic.

I had told the girls , we need to come First , Ya we came from the last of-course

About the Rangoli : Its 27 *27 which has 4 swans with 4 sided designs of which we did only 2 left and right. Top and bottom we removed becuase of scarsity of time. Also as for kanada rajyotsav we planned on 8 kites all around it, of which only one we have done at one extreme side representing karnataka flag colors ( red and yellow )

Just dt see our rangoli ....also read/feel the part in which we went from a period of disappointment on the first 5 min starting and till the end where there was exicitment to end the rangoli even when we know we are the last

We Hope to make you please with better rangoli next time for sure, but right now.....:)

Realised : Even to stand last,  we need to try.
Hence i understand that to fail an exam or to fail in life we need to try as much we need to stand first, even thou both follows different route :P

To Infinity and Beyond

       Life can change at any movement and at any time in your life and the word ‘change’ reminds us that there was a life which was different from now. All we ask our self is ‘was it meant to change?’, ‘is this change a chance for the betterment or the worst?’ and as everyone believe change is an adjunction by Time, time makes us feel good and at time, it makes us sad.

Andy

But for sure change gives us what we call ‘memories’, the only reminder of an invisible connection, a flashback when we turn back. 

:)...

Worried where am I taking this conversation with a head start so philosophical?  

Nothing in particular, but this I can say as a definition which got framed up when I think about the past ‘beautiful’ or ‘sad’ memories.

Speaking about memories, there has been something which I wanted to capture in ‘this word game’ from my memory. Heard of ‘Toy story’ movies! Last week saw all the 3 set of movies. For a change, :), it was remarkable good. The idea where in toys are in life when you sleep or not looking at it. I hope why such idea’s doesn’t spring up to me :(. 

Toy Story 1

Never mind, anyway the memory which aroused was about Toys, my toys :) . Just like Andy, I too have many toys in my showcase. ‘Barbie’, 2 or 3 stuffed animal dolls and one small cute doll house. Surprisingly all are in one piece and in good shape. There were many of them, which is now a donated figure, some of which I remembered like the building block collection, a rain coat baby (my favourite and has a huge story behind it too), kitchen set, doctor set (a big time popular one’s), cars, bus, a gun (I feel it was shared between me and my bro) and so on. 

And also imagination was wide, I suppose, but even then the play story was always some fairy tale and at the end it also reached to DDLJ as I remember. We, I and another gal, used to narrate the DDLJ film, with toy play; with Barbie being kajol and that rain coat baby being SRK. I feel I was in 3^rd / 4^th right then.

Suppose the tale behind toy story is real, will my toys remember me as Andy’s does? Would they be in need of a new owner to fulfil their utmost desire...to play!

It would be an interesting event to talk about further if all the non-living comes to live. How about your first bicycle...if that has a capability of expressing what would it want to say?

Then when I think I would be in a very difficult phase of my life. Because I just gave it to a small girl far away from my place, and I heard it was in a bad shape, and I suppose now ...never mind, sad ending I can say.

Toy Story 2

So what would it say? ‘Why Prathima, why did you abandon me when I used to give you a joy, Just because you entered your College life!!!’  Truly the importance of it at that time was very high. I am very sorry for it, I should have kept it in my attic or so, but I thought it would have been better in place where it is in use, rather than my storage place. It was pink, with a black basket in front of it, my first and the last bicycle, it was very pretty. I regret the loss for some penny; yes I sold it as I was in need of pocket money :(.

Now-a-days I heard there is some library called rentoy, which gives branded toys for rent; an eco-friendly system. This would be a patchy dirt work on the feeling of ‘Toy story’ movie.  But I sure won’t say it’s a very bad idea. But a kid should have at least 1 toy which he/she loves the most  and owns it., no rent ones.

Toy Story 3

How will you know? There will be a connection seen towards it and the kid, I suppose.'kismat konnection :P'

At the End: Everyone has one or other Toy / or a playmate in their past to talk about, which will make them go back to that moment and imagine it. And sometime I feel these playmates do have some feeling, our feeling towards it which is inside them, which is what the toy story movie also protraits. 

 ‘To Infinity and Beyond’.... for those good old innocent Toy memories....

Andaz Apna Apna

KKHH, DDLJ, Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!...How many times these films keep re-appearing in television?,.. all weekends? Bhagwanji, how do people watch it, again and again and again !!!... But even when we complaint that it’s really boring and irritating, some dialogues make our lips touch our ears :). Why is it so??....because it’s so filmy bhaiye!!!

Hearing film dialogues do bring memories which was all lost ( gayi puri bhains paani mein ); yes, so today I would suggest the Jahaan panha’s ( my readers), to close the television set, give a break for it and read this new debut book of Mrs Varsha Dixit ‘Right Fit Wrong shoe’.....Its ‘full toss nautanki’ and all filmy fans will love it!!....And m sure when karan’s ( Karan Johar ) film comes to an end, you will finish reading this book too

I never have read such stories and it’s not my type too, but this was funny, romantic, stressful but in the end ...umm fun. Just last Sunday did I land my hands on this book, content looked appealing and I just picked it for time pass. And hurray I had finished it...even after that stressful work hour’s...it kept me going :)

It has the same approach as chetan bhagat, but in a different style. She has written as she spoke, but yes in bollywood slang. Titles of each chapter are all from different movie and all chapters, as the title implies, the story from that respective movie.

Story revolves around the heroine, of-course, nandhini who is ‘lassi in wine glass’. It’s basically a love story, how she falls in and out and again in ( Aaj, kal, parso), all only with 1 man who is described as ‘Bada bhagwan , chota shaintan’; chota being , ‘The Aditya’.

To summarise, It is just a mixture of the entire bollywood stories. Love of a chulbuli girl to some ‘Bigda hua raihis’ son and the girl do qurubanni of love on request by his mother by acting like a money grabbing tramp which makes the guy turn to angry young man ‘kutte mein tera khoon pi jaoonga’ , to take revenge on her .

But hey, don’t go-ahead by story, the way it is described and twisted, it will really keep you occupied. ( Dekha! Impress kar dhiya na )

I will never point out as the best book I ever read, na!!,..nahi nahi, chord do, mujhe bhagwan keliye chord do :P, tik hai tik hai,...acha tha!!...But it was the best cooked up story ever ...Cooked truth, unlike cooked food, burns, sooner or later. :P

There have been some flaws, like the climax was felt as if it was made to run to come to an end and there were many unanswered questions. Only the big picture was highlighted, all the small incidents where not elaborated much...bada soche to bada milenga ;-)

It consists of lust, revenge, love, jealousy and also dhaam dhadham, dishum dishum, akal ke dushman gadhe ki dum :)

Overall the bollywood pack was just highlighted in a right (fit),  in a book, which is the wrong shoe, because usually bollywood stories are narrated in television, right!.... :P



- Prathi ( Itna/Iskha toh banta hai )

Lafangey Parindey

Bollywood masala has been now-a-days out of taste. Most of the movie which has arrived recently, neither has achieved originality nor persistence in the minds of the viewers. This was not so in the beginning of 20's. But now the time has changed. Some concentrates on songs, some on dresses, some on location, but the story are as usual. But it is not that these movies are bad, it has the new spices but some how it never gets suspended in the minds, it just evaporates. Lot of us, never even remember the name of the films, just remembers that some certain characters/scenes has been an eye catching ones. 'Story!...who knows, might be the same girl boy love story' will be the reaction. On such movie is 'Lafangey Parindey'....But don't ask me, i am still finding out what was it all about, and what was good about, so that i can communicate it to you...ummm

Any way the other way round is also good, why do we watch a movie for, just for a time-pass. So why do you want a movie to revolve around you thought!!! You need to go out of the theater and just forget. It was just meant to flow your money out, for entertainment. It was just one shot. :)

Now for my review section on 'Lafangey Parindey' , very predictable one if you had seen the prom's. It is what is shown. Nothing, no addition and no deletion. But even then, it gives fairy tale impression, why not!!, its yash raj films production right!!


Some wired/funny/fairy tale incidents which I noticed :


*Hero works for a known gunda, but the gunda in-turn is not so violent. He is much more of a seniti and emotional guy. If his best man, or his left hand is dead , he cries and if the hero wants to leave all the gundagardi and want to work normal daily wages like all Indian, he is fine.

*Hero has an occupation of fighting and always win ( god's kid ) and if he lose, then that's only when he sacrifice ....( arey yer that's why he is hero , don't know kya!!! ) and if he did sacrifice , its time for the heroine's heart to melt, run for him; hugs and smooch hero :S
*Hero always listens to whatever heroine says, but if his mentor says the same , he never listens, even during the mentor's death bed ( ahha na!! )
*Hero learnt to skate in such a very less time span, remarkably i can say love can make you do anything :P *Heroine lost only eyes in that accident. Not even a scratch to her beautiful skin. (umm,..strange!! )  
*She learnt to walk in the road as if she has eyes, again all blind's need to learn from her.  
*And i seriously didn't knew why the cops took so much time to finish there investigation. When the film starts the investigation begins and at the end of the film, the investigation closes and of course culprit's name comes to light,....( aio!!!! why  can't the case be given to CID team of sony tv, they will finish it in half a day...lol ) *Jublient point : cop works for free ( waw re waw , dedication ) and even when the culprit name is announced, he is free to go because...love, of course!!, ( muah ,...ha ha ah )
*And of-course the skating part was some graphical stuffs, i didn't find it to be real...:S

The wardrobe was very ordinary.Also they repeated the dress many times, esp. deepika's blue t-shirt and 3/4th Capri and niel's yellow black strip shirt with black jeans.The location was not yash raj type, but ya you can make out because even though the half of the story was revolving around 'taporie's', the place was very clean ( i really mean here 'cleanliness' ).Story was like 'I have heard it somewhere' type.

The only thing i liked is the confident the character had, when she lost her eyes, she didn't sit and crib on the lose, she was back to practice skating. That's quite confident, brave step and encouraging for everyone.And yes there were no melodrama, all the melodrama was hidden, Its good to see that when we have so much melodrama in our own life :P

Finally my rating '2.5/5' and Film 'time-pass' ; watch the film if there is no other good movies around and you need to spend your time :)... bcos i did.

ha!!... this traffic!!!!

-->

Pong pong, Ping ping, bang bang and the whole lot of sounds, what welcomes you to Bangalore.  Bangalore which is famous for Gardens, software’s is now theoretically has become famous for Traffics.  

When you step to nelamangala, after 7am till 9pm, there can be nothing like that, it’s a perfect example. Buses, Trucks, lorry are the highest of them, charging from one end to another, with a rush as to make the goods / passenger go rolling about.

  
 

 I never compliant that there is no traffic in all around the world, they do exist. Mumbai has something different look on it. Here in Bangalore if you find neat and clean traffic, Mumbai is the opposite, because in Bangalore there have been the lines of neat cars rushing to their home at evening hours where as in Mumbai, cars are a bit rare to find especially if you say neat once, I feel that won’t tag to the Mumbai style: P Any ways no comparisons, I like both of the places, because both has its own uniqueness to be liked and cherished, hence no biases.

Most of the Bangalore traffic is because of the cross over’s where there exist 4 roads and 3 have to wait when 1 runs. So your turn takes time and it’s really a tension when you need to reach your destination in a limited time.

 I can narrate my old stories exp. Involving traffic jams. My usual journey is an hour and half run from my office to majestic without the term “traffic”. Now this is what I thought and usually I used to give just 2 hour due time for it, But such days are hard to find, is what I realised on one rainy, festival day where I landed 1 hour late to majestic from my departure time. This had happened long back on 2008 and I still feel it’s so fresh in my mind. I had caught a bus at 6 and I reached at 9 30 at Mysore bank and bus halted there saying, “madam, you start walking or else you will miss your 9 45 bus”. Then I took an auto, where a “very kind auto rickshaw” ( in quotes because kind and auto are two contradicting words lol ), tried to reach me to my bus stand in 10 20pm. I had to jump  brass separation , and cross a muddy road and finally reached  my bus stand 10 30 pm to find out , not by miracle, that my 9 45 bus  is still standing and waiting to departure because of traffic  :P. That’s one thing I like about Bangalore traffic, if you are stuck, everyone are stuck, so no need to worry on that

But what about movie plans, Na it won’t wait for you, and m very bad at it. I can’t blame it on traffic, but it surely makes other people convincing. Even when you need to go to your relatives wedding and you had started at 11 30 am, it’s bound to make you reach at 2 30pm and make you just in time for the last round of suffer of the celebration :). Ha ha ha, any ways don’t blame me if you end up going late and find no food and no people in the hall because I always believe that I have a lucky factor with traffic. Somehow with great difficultly, I usually reach

And never waste money on seeing the Bangalore city through those travel agencies, Money gone and hardly will you get to see anything, try BMTC or Volvo passes. You just see the insight of Bangalore more core by sitting and experiencing.

Crossing roads in these traffics are also risky. I would like to confess in this blog, that I was a victim too. In K.gate, that’s where I stay; there is this “X” road situated. We need to cross 2 roads; each one way. When one road has vehicles from right the other has vehicles from left and I feel we need some hawk eye and patience stamina: P. I lack in the second one sometime, especially when m hurrying to office. M really attempting to be patience that’s the other issue, any ways once when I was crossing it was such that a cycle came from the opposite side on one way; I hit me and made him fall: P Meanwhile there were series of 2 wheeler who were attempting to move ahead as if they can  hurry up even when the signal is red. God’s grace on my head and m saved somehow.

Not to mention about those fights when there is some clashes and some bang between the vehicles or just a slit unnoticed touches which leads to thundering impact.

Traffic also has advantage to some; people can just give a lame reason of traffic jam for the reasons of not being there or coming late: P

And just like that movie, Traffic Jam, most people’s daily wages starts and ends with traffic. Corporation, Silk board, Sarjapur road, Hebbal Junction and many places, we can find many people selling stuffs like newspapers, car accessories, toys, flowers etc. I recently saw Rajasthan people selling Mickey Mouse balloon, felt sad because there crafts and hand made products are very rare to find and because of the upcoming generation next these are just vanishing. There are many kids; teenager’s working out for their livelihood from these traffics. Even I have seen hijras seen in traffic jams especially near corporation and silk board junctions spread around, which sometimes gives me Goosebumps. Any way it’s their living and I would have another blog to be written on if I go about.Also even Radio’s have high business because of traffics; especially during evening and morning. They even announce the places where it is jammed with traffic so people can avoid it. But it’s really a difficult task to avoid it. People travelling in bus, cabs usually have head set and I-pods plugged into their ears  

Cons and Proms are always a way 2 make a conversation better, and I have tried to record my view points on it. Acknowledging what is good and bad and make it aware is what a writer’s job is all about and to be frank Traffic jam always gives me to time to be in a day dreaming world

Sit in reverie and watch the changing colour of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.  ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Atonement

Just finishing a book and closing it never give me an end taste.I always aspire on writing something about it, not actually reviewing, i don’t call myself worthy to be into it, but mostly mending my feelings, emotion of the same is every day thought.

Today I finished atonement, a pack full of flavours ( feelings) from rich of excitement to detectable tragedy to inescapable unhappiness.

Atonement as the name implies is a story based on self obliging for the act of wrong done. A 13yr old girl, who commits a mistake, which she engulfs herself throughout her life and serves for it till her end.

When we commit a mistake, sometime it so happens that the mistake creates a lock, without a key , and makes it unable to unlock it in future. Some calls it as gods play or some human faults which is irreparable. That’s what happened in Briony's life which caused a serious impact on her sister and much more affect to her (sister's)love of her life.

The misunderstanding when wanted to be corrected, went with the winds of circumstances and became unchangeable when the culprit was immune with the innocent, which was unbreakable.

The atonement, which she pursued to offer, stretched up till her age 77 and only ended (or can say made a new beginning) by a shape of a book, an autobiography, of her wrongdoers and finished with sweet end, even when the realistic persecutions was bitter.

Ian Macewn, the author, has showed me a special way of writing which I really want to share. In a sentence, he merges not only the present, but also the past and also depicts the future. It’s actually difficult but I will never stop trying to use it, which was in past unaware, but in future will make me to master.

The language is not in a level to normal but one step ahead, but never an off flow one. A person, who is continues reader may not face much difficulty, but for others a little bit of vocabulary mastering is necessary.

Three folds of the story revolves behind the descriptions of the world war II and makes the essence of the story interesting and is also an influence for the story.

Overall I loved the way, the story is been emerged and written, one of the booker prize nominated fiction. For non-readers there is the movie too which is also one of the most watched ones.

Offend can be said as the essence of a story and atonement the storyline.

A book for a predominant reader and a story which can never be "like"

Happy Earth Day

T-Shirt competition was held on our odysseys and I used my brush skills to participate :)




Back of the T-Shirt : It indicates that many tress are necessary to create papers,so we need to stop cutting trees and recycle papers.

" Recycle or Die" is the slogan used as the second image implies that if we don't we will have to use oxygen mask in which we use the miniature tree as the survivability object





Front of the T-Shirt : A smiling earth is achieved only when we tend to love our planet, and help to keep it protected. Recycle can be one of the best solution

Ads

Now-a-days Lots of Innovations are been carried out, New ideas are been inputted and lots of new enchanting outputs are fruitfully emerging. It is said that when we Humans put our brain and heart on work, there can be no stop to it. True.

There can be lot of human discoveries to talk about but here is something which always catches my eyes and ear's.

Advertisements / Ads J , thought am going to preach on something sociological isn't it!.. :-p ...No, Not today.

Ads have been growing wide spread with lots of artistic ideas day by day.

I am always much amassed when I watch such creative TV ads, I mean there are some which is totally abducting but there are some which we can't go praising on.

I like stitching and to an extend I know it also. I used to do curtains; small pouch's to keep myself busy at home during eng. holidays. I had actually forgotten about it completely that's when I saw this recent new ad of Usha Sewing machine. People who have not watched this, I would recommend to watch it at least once. The lady in the act uses all her junk clothes and decorates her new empty house with all the fashionable decorativeness before her husbands retunes. The picturization is something you must not miss in this, Incredible.

Chocolates are usually famous in and around. Lots of Products related to chocolates where down in market especially Dairy milk because of worms being found in them. But they are back. Pappu pass hogaya, Aaj Pehali Tarika Hai,....are some tunes which they had started up to make the market boom. And now Dairy Milk Silk is one the way. More than the chocolate, which I find it to be same in any way, the background music is something which always wows the most.

“Kiss me...Close your eyes ........Miss me ...Close your eyes...I can wet your lips and your fingertips..."

Banks have also started publicizing by means of ads which really is so enthusiastic to watch.

The first bank to stress on relationship is Idbi , which made the normal boring ones to something watery, There are 2 boys and elephant which plays foot ball and by which they indicate how the relationship grows and in all directions. There have been many innovative ones with the same characters and sometime it’s really mesmerizing. The tag lines are also really innovative, Chhote.Bade.Sabke Liye



Yesterday too I just came across 2 new Ads.

1. A Kid comes home announcing that he stood first in his class. Both there parents starts arguing from whose genes he might have got. Mummy says she and her relatives are graduate holders with top ranking where as Dad says he was good in physics, maths, and chemistry. Child is confused and he says “But I stood first in Painting “..... And they indicates it to Some insurance, I think it was LIC...saying whatever your kids plan to be in future make sure you got a children Insurance Plan.

2. Scene starts with an old man sitting in a bench near a tiny tea/coffee shop; he preoccupies the place beside him by a tissue so that nobody sits beside him. Two glasses of coffee/tea will be brought by chai wala. There comes the old man 2. Old man 1 removes the tissue for the old man 2 to sit. Using the tissue Old man 1 cleans the spoon and mixes the tea/coffee with required amount of sugar. Then the old man 2 unfolds the newspaper and gives one part to old man 1 and drinks the tea/coffee which has been mixed up by Old man 1. All this takes place without anything been said.

Then the background announces, these are 2 friends who always meet up near this coffee/tea shop. Sometimes they talk sometimes they don't. Just like our Bank & you. ...And they mention the bank name with the tag line which includes Relationship in it.

And there are sometime some mistakes seen in Ads too.



I noticed one; Its the Samsung touch phone released recently where they say we touch it msg,... we touch it clicks,...we touch it browse,...But never in the ad do they say we touch it calls,....Do that mobile calls or not!!!,...( That's the main purpose of a phone I feel ;-) )

When we were in our schooling's there used to be Actor's, cricketer's promoting the products, but now the new zamana gets only lured by new innovative creative Ads,...Aha no Celebrities ,...We don't catch up with them.

That's really a good indication, which will make the Media world even broader.

"History will see advertising as one of the real evil things of our time. It is stimulating people constantly to want things, want this, and want that “The saying is true. Ads are just a means of strategy to make people want it even when they don't want it. But think it on the creativity, innovative perspective; it says we have been well above the range. We have become broader.

Nobody actually is appreciating Ad works, neither who is the one who does these Ads nor do we know what his name is! Nothing!!

So this is for them ....From the bottom of the Heart,

Thank you...Just to make all my breaks in between the Movies, Serials or News Even more entertaining.......... Even though later it is much expensive.


The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.

Love Prathi

Short story

End is a very abrupt stop to something good and also something bad. What you want to end has always a new beginning to begin with. I never thought I will end my life like this, but finally today the end begins.

“Hi, this is Tamanha Saha, reporting live from Palace Ground, Bangalore. Here in front of me you can see the crowd which is going wow for Rahul Dixit New Concert, Jaag. Most of them have been waiting in line for the ticket at least 24 hours before. And mind you the decoration, the settings are incredibly gorgeous and eye pleasing. Rahul Dixit as you know is a famous Singer of south and especially of Sandalwood, has sung many of the famous songs like “ Manina Gombe”, “Neenilada Neenapu” and so on. The Crowd here is waiting in a tip toe with such an enthusiasm, which has never been seen before in decades for any other concert. Masi, will get back to you when we are on the start of the concert and that surly will be at around 9 clock Pm, so until then tats it from me, Tamanha with Cameraman Satish Koshik, TV 10”

Finally I got a seat near the 1st hub which was pre-occupied by many top Reports who had come to witness the most happening concert of the decade and also some to telecast them. I wanted to be a Journalist from my childhood, I knew it and that was all in my mind. And once achieved, I had an aspiration within for a long time to report something out of place. And here is a chance which will make my career high above my horizon. But now more than that I have got the opportunity, for sure to embrace my true identity to the people who think I am of no good. I had to make a core decision on what I had aspired and what I need to do now. It’s a challenge is what I feel but nothing can stop me now, because I believe in what others cannot, and what others think when they say they are the Allah’s son. Let this show start and I will be dignified as a true Allah’s Follower.

Humanity

Emotion is such an easy term to describe is what I thought. Yes it is very fragile substance in my life is something I consider. We react to different situations very differently and the reaction is what we conclude to be emotion. Sad, especially feeling bad for somebody is utmost different emotion compare to our own self suppressed thinking and to see and feel "humanity" only emotion is necessary and nothing more.

Today in TCS Bangalore, all around, especially in my office in Cafeteria they are telecasting the Flood Relief Video volunteered by some TCS employee’s. They had visited Badami village in Bagalokot district. Flood has really taken away there sweet homes. The Buildings are collapsed and the room which was once known is now a devastating scene with bricks all around. The anganvadi, a school for under 6 yrs old kids, is merely like an ancient building with only doors to stand on. A scene which can catch you and make your eyes drowning.

On the way to my pg, I happen to pass by the famous SAP labs which nobody can go unnoticed. But Opposite this famous building there lives a small family who sales garden flowers and pots which always goes unnoticed. They have a small blue plastic house made up in tent formation where the lady of the family sleeps. She and her husband have a lovely 3 kids and a puppy to play with. And one day, you can say thanks to traffic, I saw how she cooked Roti in a black rusted pan outside in a very chilly evening, with her husband and children waiting for her to finish.

Kundalahalli Gate is a place famous for local bars and Non veg shops which is situated near the Bus stop. Nearly every day I see one person lying down in the foot path, over-drunk and unconscious. There will be nobody to notice them, or to help them. I don't want to know the situation how they have arrived there or what circumstances had made them to be there, it only makes us more pity and more stressed to see that.

Now why did I write this? What's the purpose? All of us know it....Yes we know it and I will never persuade you to go and make a view of it or join some community to make an awareness of it...No nothing

I Just wanted to say that when I listen to it and when i see it, one of the hormone level increases in my blood.......the whole body goes so numb and my eyes will be so waterish,...Does this happen to you too?

Does this impact on your body makes you think, why such a reaction for an unknown stranger,...who is he/she for me??

After such a reaction in your mind and body, Do you feel that yes even thou he is unknown for me i will help him, ...might be if it is so silly like....go to a temple and pray for him /her , for his/her life, for his/her well being....??

And yes Don't to you think this is humanity and This is how we are called a human ,.....rather than an animal, who has the ability to help others by having a self control on our need and help others who are in much greater need then us...........
