Gladiator
It is a old movie but gives a new message when i see it every time. Laid back saturday evening after having put my daughter to sleep and turn on the TV just to see Russel is a real treat.
That deep eyes that seem to convey something without a word, the hidden pain, the joy of dying and the painful joy of killing. The Illegal relationship justified so intensely and the feeling for LOVE with no real expectation back between the princess and Maximus...O! how well directed/performed and delivered.
The movie and the background score seems to relate to the age or generation depicted in the movie. So smooth; so intense; so deep and so very special.
The legendary visual treat the dialogues "True Soldier of Rome, father of a murdered son and a husband to a murdered wife" And i will have my revenge in this life or thr next!!! Muuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Gladiator - a true treat of passion power and pain!

The World, India and Life
There is something about Indians. They seem to know what is ideal for living, they seem to criticize the Western fraternity and values. (or lack of values). They alse seem to accept that the western world manages their infrastructure and environment better than India, surprisingly INDIANS also seem to admit that we are not where we should be with regards to cleanliness, infrastructure, transparency and N other spectrum. What makes US most unique is that we can sit for decades without really doing anything about it. All we care end of day is IIT/IIM admission for kids, safe bank balance, enough money and gold to secure your kid's future and our post - retirement life.
Very true agreed that these are of extreme importantance. But what is also important is to leave a place for our next generation to live in this same LAND and rejoice the smell of OUR soil. what if all our kids want to go to western countries and life their life in a much well maintained infrastructure? We will have no one to see the houses/wealth and richness we left for them. They will enter a western world to live basic life well and loose the sense of belonging.
CHANGE in INDIA should be driven as a large scale project. Rule should be a rule. starting from trash cans to reuse of waste, decorum, discipline, empathy and sympathy and then come spirituality.
Thanks to the growing townships we could start all these pretty easily. We could first unite townships to a common progress and then to the neighbouring towanships. Make a small township well maintained, idealistic then extend this to a town and to a city then to a district. Slowly things should fall in place as a nation.
1. Take no bribe
2. Avoid power wastages
3. Extend helping hand
4. Sponsor your watchman's kid education
5. Create domestic employment process and oppurtunity
6. Part time education for paper boys
7. Avoid noise pollution
8. Celebrate festivals in a safe/controlled environment with respect to elders in a community
9. Create a sense of trust/care and belonging in kids
10. Face rain / flood/ drought situations together and with empathy
11. Make a beggar less township
12. Carpooling
13. resource sharing
Small small and very small things. Shouldnt it be possible??

Pathi Pathni Haircut and Gmom
Well, not many Indian grand daughters will be surprised with the amount of affection me and my gmom share. Like many of you i am a totally pampered g.daughter and being named on her i get all the special attention.
No wonder that had made me in-sensitive to any other intensity/frequency of love...lol. I was recently so surprised and taken back to realize that education and the working women pride in my head has taken away the wisdom/value of love/tolerence and super special love offering that INDIAN WOMEN OF THE PAST surrendered to their better half. Well i am no way going back to that state but atleast i though to all those who are too much into the future vision and run and chase of life/job atleast get back to listen to these "Living Universities around us"
Incidient: I picked up a heavy fight with my husband (all natural every day right lol) about him not allowing me to cut my hair the way i wanted. I was insisting that he starts to like me the way i like and me not turning the way he likes. I had a full 3 days of cribbing fighting sour talks and finally got convinced that i look good as i am.
I go home to my gmom and say that 'Men Men Men, i hate them and the marriage has looted all my freedom and what not"....Suddenly i noticed that my gmom was seeing her old (young rather) albums where she and her sisted were singing before a well 500+ audience. I started shouting at her instantly; "You are an idiot; you are so senseless and see how grand pa limited all your talents by not allowing you to shine as a celebrity"...you wasted your life, he wasted your life blah.....blah....blah.....
She replied "I sang 16 years just to be the best singer in the world,,and yeah it was a great passion and it meant a lot to me..It was my life's ambition. I wanted to stop singing the day i was a best singer. i use to feel so great whenever some one comes and tells me i did a great performance...
MY BLOOD WAS BOILING INSIDE ALREADY ABUSING MY DEAD POOR GRAND PA!!!
G Mom continues...One day i come down the stage and your grand pa who usually watches news and prefers being in a quiet library walked down near the stage and told me "Its too late stop this and come home now". After the last song we went home and then he asked me to sing that song again for him. He listened twice and said " You voice has such a miracle and you sing so great". It was too simple a statement but that pride and price of that statement to hear from him over whelmed the appreciations i got so long and that may possibly come in future..."
I never went on a stage again and it is my personal choice to surrender to what he likes. He never encouraged me to sing but he fullfilled the biggest desire of me so easily with a few words...And thats all i wanted in life the satisfaction of the best singer in MY WORLD...
After this she did give a stare to me and said..Your husband said a 101 times you look so beatiful and that did not register in your mind as opposed to the reason why he did not want you a hair cut. And when you DO have the hair cut if he does not repeat it for the 102nd time what reason would you have to fight ;) :)
I decided not to fight again...WAIT...NOT TO FIGHT AGAIN ABOUT THE HAIR CUT ONLY ***Conditions apply

Rought draft Man and final draft women !!!
WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to
concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and
pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, 'Relatives of yours?'
'Yep,' the wife replied, 'in-laws.'
W O R D S
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a
day...
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, 'The reason has to be because we have to repeat
everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, 'What?'
CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, 'I don't know how you can be so stupid and
so beautiful all at the same time.' The wife responded, 'Allow me to
explain . God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!'
The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each
other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day,
he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business
flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he
wrote on a piece of paper, 'Please wake me at 5:00 AM.' He left it where he
knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover
it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go
and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper
by the bed. The paper said, 'It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.'
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft
before the masterpiece.
SEND THIS TO SMART WOMEN WHO NEED A LAUGH AND TO MEN YOU THINK CAN HANDLE
IT !

Give up Give up Give up
Another new spring morning and my beloved baby girl wakes up...Looks at me smiles shows her bright teeth and eye twinkle and says "Ammmmaaaaa Paaaal'''means give me milk and adds Bottle la....
For the last 3 weeks i have been fighting a GIVE UP BOTTLE war with her and fairly succesfull as well :P
Sitting back and thinking, i am insecured about all the technology advancements and the modern comforting equipments..I dont like bottles, i am scared to put her on a park in a cycle (even a tricycle), i am worried that the sand and worms may cause her illness, i dont like to visit relations as she may loose all her comfort and luxury i create for her, i dont like the babysitter as she may not sterilize her hands before feeding her.
When i look back how i was brought up, sanity had importance and cleanliness was followed. But it never was at the cost of cutting my freedom and others love on me. But this case is real pathetic as to how i am over doing my mother hoodness and looking back i found 80% of the IT MOMS and technology advanced women who GOOGLE a lot of junk and terror information...(Watch CLOSE...GOOGLE AND NOT BING, Because BING IS POSITIVE SEARCH ENGINE and google feeds you with all the worst cases:) )
Well then driving back to my office i thought of the rules and hygiene and health concious tips i shower on the poor one...After all bottle was her comfort mom when i left her back crying at 3 months and rushed to office...
Bottle was the comfort factor when she hurts her nose crawling and bottle was the only matter that could make her smile and jump on the sight...
I decided i wont fight with my daughter rather with the bottle...I grew my hatred on the step mom i introduced to her and the step mom she has started to accept (THE BOTTLE OFCOURSE) and i bribed my kid slowly..
One day i threw the bottle so very hard before her eyes that it would break into pieces...(Plastic ofourse). She smiled liked the game and broke all the bottles and threw them out of the balcony..
WOWOWOWOWOWOW....one day passes without bottles..water juice milkshake milk every thing in a fancy cup ..
she says ' Bottle waste amma no neeeed bottle" i feel on top of the world..put her to sleeeeep with showering kisses...
Next morning, she wakes up. behaves so very well and I fall sick...She runs to me saying " Amma give me milk in a glass"
i say " Babysitter! get the bottles and feed her"
WHOSE COMFORT IS IT? MOTHERS OR KIDS?????????/
Working women! a Message to you...
You give up on your work and its priority before you say to your kid to GIVE UP..BOTTLE
GIVE UP EVERY THING GIVE UP ALL THAT MAKES YOU COMFORTABLE AND TIME SAVING
Good things come the hard way...and best things only can fall on our kids...
MOTHERS GIVE UP BOTTLES AND SO WOULD YOUR CHILD :)
