Time to Put A Full Stop.

All it took was 10-15 fanatics to shatter the peace and harmony of this nation. Not a task any soul should ever be proud of. And now the blame game and finger-pointing has begun. Its utterly frustrating & depressing to even switch on the television. The havoc wreaked by despicable religious patriotism that make people act like insensible idiots (to put it mildly) is unspeakable. I want to but will not fall into the trap of spewing a lot of vitriol out here.

Just have a few points to make -

1. Why were'nt there any heed paid to the warnings?
Every answerable official needs to be hauled and made to pay for their lack of performing their duties. And made to pay through their nose.

2. PM condemns the terror attack, issues statement, addresses the nation from a paper, conducts all party meet. So did the Pakistan government. Heck! Mr. Prime Minister you don't seem to be a real person anymore.

3. Declare Pakistan a terrorist nation.
How much more proof does one require? Anyone who does not see Pakistan's involvement in supporting, abetting and aiding terrorism are, ironically only the Pakistanis.

4. Strong new leaders are the need of the hour.
Be it Milind Deora, or Lead India winner RK Mishra. We need new faces who are ready to take the battle head on.

5. There was reports in newspaper reporting dismay over the return of the Engalnd cricket team due to the terror attacks.
Its not about buckling to terrorism, but pray tell me who is in a mood to watch entertaining sports at this crisis hour??? And why this insistence of continuing the series at a time when the nation's mourning? Isn't there anything at which the sponsors will ever stop at?

Why boredom must be a necessary part of childhood

"I am bored....I AM BORED...." - And that is a sentence most often used by children and one that terrorizes almost all parents. Come summer and every parent, working or non-working, draw a big face, sighing how hard their lives are going to turn. I am not judging anyone for I find myself on the very same boat. My son wakes by 7:00 a.m and by 9:30 he has done painting, played with his play-doh, blocks and lego set are scattered, the toy train-set has been assembled, played with and now thrown in disarray. He promptly comes to me saying, "I am bored!". And I watch in dismay thinking my morning has just started! The maids are yet to come, breakfast has just been made, the kitchen counter has to be cleared, laundry is stacking and am yet to enjoy a peaceful cup of coffee. Add siblings into the picture and you can be assured of further chaos, screams and squabbles. Screaming - mostly yours. Most parents find a quick and easy solution to this - Summer Camps. Pack ...

Malayalam vs Tamil Cinema

Having been homebound for sometime now and with enough clutter in the TV channels,watching movies suddenly has became very appealing. But I have to confess that am no longer in the rampant watch-any-movie age where I could digest anything from a Saajan to a Hero No 1 but clearly not also yet there to enjoy a Satyajit Ray or Pedro Almodvar movie.Anyways its regional cinema that I am talking here. All this movie watching started with me giving company to my mom and she restricts her staple of movies to only Tamil and Malayalam films. After a point of time comparison was just bound to follow... Best things first - Malayalam films are quite a revelation. From being funny,melancholic, enchanting, tragic, uplifting to plainly being entertaining the range and depth of malayalam films has simply awed me. And am not even talking here of the well-known, superhit mad capers of Mohanlal or Mamooty that the outside world knows of. Let me confess I dont even understand the language completely....

We Are T20 World Champions!! ....really?

Am overjoyed and as happy as every other cricket loving Indian at India winning the T20 worldcup. It was a nail biting finish and I whooped in joy as the tricolour was paraded proudly around the ground..but all the same it seemed too good to be true. A creepy thought passed my mind - Is this all true or is it part of an elaborate scripted show put up for our benefit? It was like a bad thought or dream that nobody wants to think about but it keeps recurring. Maybe I am just going bonkers. Voice in my head - heck, isn't it too much of a coincidence that the final would have to be between India & Pakistan?...Especially after the world cup debacle, cricket took the biggest beating ever in its Indian history. It was almost on the verge of dying a slow death, sponsors pulling out support , public support was lost. Me - What the hell, it was a great game. Played in front of millions. Voice in my head - Forgot the earlier match fixing tales?. After the world cup fiasco the very foun...
