Killing two birds with one stone!!!

Hey People.........today is a big day in many states as the V-day has finally come ( finally) .Yes, you got it, you get to VOTE today (Yipeeeeee) I hope all of you have decided to vote today and have chosen your candidate/individual/party after all the research and scrutinizing of character, education, background and the most important in my list is their CRIMINAL RECORD and background......:)... All of us do realise the fact that every vote counts and a single vote can make or break our country.....I wont be voting this year:( I only get to vote from next year since by then I will get all my confirmation/required documents )

I have always been politically inclined person ( I aspire to be the PM of this country........really...I know its difficult to take it, but don't worry if you are mean to me I will just chuck you to Iraq or Pakistan only I promise not to courier you to Amerr--Rica) but I guess till then I will do my bit. until I succeed in becoming PM one day I will take part in making small but significant decisions.

I did start with it around 6-7 years back, thanks to my friend Geetu Mansinghani......(Yupp.. That's it....Lady with the perfect hand). Its a simple task of not littering your country/city/state with papers/wrappers/plastic bags and so on and so forth........She enlightened my-tiny-mind-which-thinks-it-is-smartest-thing-since-slice bread. She explained to me about the fact there are DUSTBINS around the city, office, homes which need to be made use of, and its not a pretty little box which is on display. So, since then I have made an effort not to litter the city with my bus ticket/train pass/wrapper/bhel-puri paper/newspaper/plastic bag/chewing gum/wafer packet etl on the road or in any public place.

In fact I have made sure that people around me too get the point ..OK, I am not boasting about it ( Never need to do so coz people do it for me:)) but here is one incident. I was travelling in the train (in the evening back to home from office). A lady sitting next to me is eating yummy bhel puri (crap it made me hungry, very hungry) OK back.........(Now I will have to eat one on my way back home today) OK, after the lady finishes her snack for the evening she conveniently plans to chuck the paper outside ..........'STOP' I said and she did double take with 'Ekta Kapoor 3-angle-look'. I smiled very sweetly towards her and very politely asked her "If you find it difficult and heavy to carry the paper with you until you find a dustbin , why don't you give it to me. I will carry it for you and chuck it in a bin." There was complete silence in the compartment .........not a word..Everyone was staring at us.....I kept the smile pasted on my face ......The lady was red as tomato and was embarrassed and finally shook her head and whispered to me " No, Its alright, I will do it." Mission succeeded.........With this I learnt a fact on how people will do anything to avoid being embarrassed in public ( She did carry the heavy empty paper with her)

But I got the satisfaction on the fact that she and others did learn a lesson and I bet she will think twice before littering the city again. So keep in my mind do NOT litter your city/country because you have to live here.

Cheers!!!

OMG !!! I do mind.....

Phew.....This week has given me major jitters with the TISS rape case in Mumbai. It has left me with an eerie feeling. We have read about the rape cases of a India born American student in Mumbai. I as a human, girl and a concerned citizen of India did feel the jitters and was petrified at this incident.It shook me up after I read the detailed version of the incident in 'Mumbai Mirrior' and I was disgusted with all the explicit details. I understand the need for a newspaper to explain and caution people on how a friend betrayed the trust of those who she considered her friend but that does not justify the fact that it was written cruelly ( Can't explain the feeling ).

I still believe their are male friends who you can count on. We did not take into account about the fact that the victim who she claimed to be 'friends' with were not her friends directly ( her roommates friends) and she has not been their friend for a long period of time. I would rather define their relation as 'acquaintance'. It has been mentioned in the newspaper that she meet these guys through a room mate and had never been out with those guys more than 4-5 times. This definitely does not make them friends. And also girls please do keep in mind, when you say N O as 'NO' word be sure, loud and clear on this....

Usually I am very excited with word ' SALE'. I go total bonkers at it.......... but when the tag 'SOLD' was tagged along with the latest scandal of 'Slumdog.......... child artist Rubina it was a total shock. Rubina was to be sold by her farther to a British journo posing as a rich sheikh for 1 Crore 80 Lakhs...This is very tragic incident ....I really don't know, but after the fame of Slumdog the elder version of 'Salim and Latika' namely Dev Patel and Frieda Pinto have paved the way to Hollywood, but what happens to these little ones ? Since they might not have an idea or opportunity on how to pave their success. Who will do it for them?

I did read the interview of the child artist Shafiq Syed from the movie 'Salaam Bombay' who won the National Award for the best child artist and was livid at his condition. Shafig is based in Bangalore and drives around auto rickshaw in the city. He states on the fact that though he might have won such a prestigious award but it did not help him as he did not have anybody to guide him and also belives that limelight/fame can destroy your childhood if you do let it get in your head.

And last but the not the least........Wow it seems Adnan Sami has all the women drooling and fighting over him......Lucky man........This couldn't get much better with all that malicious accusation, scratching, biting, and displaying all the the assets and so forth.......Truly fulltu entertainment on Page 1 these days.....(Page 3 is all about the boring parties, rich and mean people at charity functions, dog shows, inauguration of underware stores etc)..... I guess Adnan ji aapko bhagwan na finally lift karwa diya......
