A reason , a season or a lifetime...

I love travelling and ever since a child I have never lived in a place for long. (Relatively). I left my birthplace to another town first for schooling, then marriage, then due to job changes I shifted to one city to another including abroad. Along the way I made many friends and a few I still am close to since I was 8/9 years old. I made friends everywhere I lived. We had a lot of fun and shared a lot with each other also but then always either I or they had to shift leaving behind tears, sadness and a feeling of loneliness from inside. We always tried to keep in touch but slowly, abruptly or just with time we lost touch... NO fight, no reason...just silence. Took me some time to realize that friends come and go and life goes on... Some friends have remained… even if at a distance I know they will always be there for me.
I think this goes for our online friends also. So many come and go. Some stay and some just drift away for no apparent reason and a few, very few remain and you know they are there for your lifetime. I read a beautiful poem and just wanted to share it with people who can empathize with what I have written above….call it my first copy paste…!!The poem that is.
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant
So this is a bigg THANK YOU TO ALL THE FRIENDS I KNOW...whether they are in my life for a reason, a season or for a lifetime..!!

GODJI AND CWG !!!!!!!!!

I think its again time to have a talk with Godji A_la_BIG B in the movie DEEWAR !
What is this Godji , what has happened to you lately? Are you on a Ganja or Charas trip or have you become just plain lazy? Gosh Godji,oh please don't make me believe that you have joined that Suresh Kalmadi fellow to siphon of billions of rupees to a Swiss account. Sheesh cross my heart and hope to die if i actually think that.OK,I will settle for you having become just plain lazy regarding my country,otherwise i am sure you would do something about what is happening to our COMMON WEALTH GAMES which have now been renamed CONTRACTOR WEALTH GAMES!!
Yes Godji , i understand you have a lot of stuff going on in the rest of your self owned real estate to give much thought to a bunch of idiots who are only interested in making themselves rich at the expense of their own country lekin Godji,think of us poor taxpayers also na!After all its your own followers hard earned money that you are allowing to be siphoned off.I mean for the CWG organizers it's like you have brought CHRISTMAS,DIWALI
PONGAL,THANKSGIVING ,NEW YEARS and a whole load of festivals at the same day. Lekin Humara kya?
You do have my full sympathies Godji , at having to manage so much corruption in just one damn country.It seems 750,000 crores have been diverted.Imagine that ____750thousand-fuckin-crores and me not able to get my hand on even a penny of it.OOPS Godji, but the number is enough to tempt the most saintly of us humans and as you know Godji i am nowhere close to being saintly which is why you can listen to all this crap i am dishing out in front of you.Anyway,it seems you forgive us sinners very easily as can be seen with all the damn sinners roaming around so freely and sinning again and again.Godji you really need to tighten up your a-sorry-buys-you-forgiveness offer.People are taking too much advantage.
Godji it's just not fair!You are making us all decent hardworking Indians hang our heads in shame at such blatant and open corruption going on in broad daylight.And yes,how could you allow us to lose out on the World 20/20 cup? Damn,Godji you do have a lot to answer for you know but will leave it for now.Now that our heads hanging in double shame!
Godji at this rate you will only encourage mothers like me to not educate my kids for the careers they chose but send them into 'sarkari naukris' where they would have had the opportunity to make such kind of money in underhand ways..and I could call myself a CWG also....CRORON WALI GRIHALXMI!!!
Ok Godji,i guess enough for now.I will be back for sure and hope by then you would have cleaned up your act regarding us Indians.We do NEEDDDDDDDDDD you so badlyyyyyyy..What say readers?

Trivial questions about trivia........!!!
|

I am sure we all love' trivia'.Not that it has enhanced my life much for knowing it but I guess just about made my brain itch and tickle a bit. But some of the trivia stuff i read just sounds so weird. Add to it the fact that they have been scientifically proven. So bear with me for a few minutes and read on....
I mean now look at the trivia that we have about ants...an average ant can carry 50 times its weight , can pull 30 times its own weight and will always fall on the right side when intoxicated..! I mean someone must have researched it right?
I can in my mind’s eye imagine the guy first catching an ant, then weighing it on a' micron ' weighing machine ,then putting salt particles one by one with a tweezer on the ants back and waiting for it...the ant to collapse and going VOILA.. 50 times...!!
To test its pulling ability, the scientist probably harnessed an 'ant cart' to the ant and made it start walking and kept putting salt particles till it collapsed... the ant i mean and VOILA again..30 times!
But the weirdest part is about the intoxicated bit. I mean it remains a mystery to me still. Did the scientist give the ant beer or scotch? What does he use to make the ant drink... a straw? And how does one know whether it’s just intoxicated or just simply gone rant raving drunk before it keels over? Ermm and who’s 'RIGHT' SIDE? Mine or the ants....?Pheww, so many questions and so few answers!
And what about the fact about cockroaches being able to live one week without a head. I mean do they stop 'thinking' for a week and how do they eat with no head? The fellow who 'beheaded' the poor innocent cockroach,I wonder if he slept or not ever again? ASSASIN !!!
No two spider webs are the same? How many webs did the scientists actually check out to get this fact? 1 million , 1 billion or just the ones in his attic?
The venom of a female black widow spider is more potent than that of a rattlesnake.I pity whoever it was who had to be bitten by both these venomous creatures to prove this fact..!!
I could go on and on I guess... but I will stop with just one fact...people who study insects are called ENTOMOLOGISTS...!!!

The Pakistan Fiasco...
|

OK so today even as I sit in my Chicago apartment and watch the Indian channel NDTV, I see the Fiasco which happened in Pakistan over the past few days between their foreign Minister who suddenly lost it midway and insulted the Indian foreign minister. (This is equivalent to insulting us all Indians I think...) I was left with my mouth agape and blood boiling… I am amazed how as Indians we just sit back and take it all and make the most mundane and civil statements in return. Any self respecting country would have called back the Minister immediately and called off all talks ……….till an apology at the very least was tendered... AT THE VERY LEAST.
Then came the debate on NDTV… THE BIG FIGHT on the same issue. Why is it that as Indians we only seem to think in terms of extremes in solving problems.Either we want war or we want to be patient and keep talking talking and talking.Since war with a nuclear neighbor is not possible anymore all we do is talk talk and talk… even in the face of insults and the Pakistanis arrogant and back stabbing actions.
The Amritsar Lahore bus service started and after all that bonhomie what happened..? ___ Kargil. Why is it that as a nation we are scared to face off when we are being blatantly insulted and lied to?
26/11... What more can anyone say in the face of clinching evidence provided by Headley and yet all we do is ‘talk talk talk’... with no results.
Why can’t we just STOP talking and say NO MORE... and put our conditions forward.
When I bought up the issue of Sri Lanka, Israel and Thailand in front of my kids they replied saying they were different because they were ‘domestic ‘issues. But then if those small countries can face their domestic issues so strictly and confidently no matter what the price why can’t we face this one international issue more maturely?
When the Khalistan movement was raging in Punjab... a solution was found... hurt them where they had hurt the public the most… their families...The families of the miltants were also taken into custody and given the same treatment the militants were giving the innocent people. That’s what broke the back of that movement... among other things too of course… It was not about being a domestic or international issue... It was about the WILL to fight the issue and finish it.
Alas... Our politicians seem to have no WILL...because they can’t seem to see beyond their pockets, their public image and settling scores.
I am no big intellectual thinker on politics... but as a common citizen who wants if nothing else to see our leaders hold their heads with pride and be respected wherever they go.
I would sound like just another procrastinator if I didn’t put forward at least a few thoughts on how to deal with Pakistan.
Economic sanctions… it will hurt them... even if a little but it will hurtttttttttttt.
Covert operations..Why not give them a feel of their own medicines... if they could find dissatisfied Indians to do their dirty jobs here for them... Why can’t we do the same?
Involve the international community moreeeeeee… and show them exactly what they are up to.
Not least to start making our defenses much stronger... in smarter and more modern ways.
Ok that’s enough of my ranting... and yes I am no expert in all this stuff... but have written from what I saw today and my own feelings about it... maybe with or without meaning.

HANGOVER ADVICE....
|
Jul 12, 2010 11:15 pm

So today I am in a magnanimous mood where I shell out advice … that too FREE FREE FREE..! And of course since it’s more for guys I hope to at least get double the ‘hits’ on my blog.
It’s a proven fact that guys only think of 2 things... SEX AND FOOD! (Not necessarily in that order...) But surprise surprise, today I am going to shell out advice on something as important to guys if not more as the two mentioned above and that is… ALCOHOL! OK not exactly as on alcohol as such since I myself cannot tell the difference between a Tequila and a Bloody Margherita... errmmm or is it Mary?Damn, I actually prefer the name Shirley to Mary or Margherita ….. Sigh but the bloody fools never did ask me for advice when they were naming the bloody cock...tails…was it? UFFF there I go rambling... ok ok back to me and what I am dishing out advice on... HANGOVERS my friends… and how to AVOID them.
So here goes…
This is the MOST important point please for all you planning to go out... PLEASE please avoid parties where liquor is served... You see if you don’t go to the party- you don’t drink and thus you NEVER suffer a hangover..! SIMPLEEEEEE....
If you do end up at a party... remember to avoid the dance floor andd loud music. I have seen guys who drink danceeeeeee andddddddd jump around to have terrible hangovers due to the added tiredness they bring on themselves. Drink and go straight home to bed.Wife happy..YOU happy!
Of course remember too much of anything is not good for the body... excluding sex of course..!! Keep drinking lots of water along with the alcohol... which makes you go running off to the loo continously... thus making you drink less and diluting all that scotch inside you… result… ? No Hangover... voila..!!
I recommend you find someone whose guts you hate the most and try to get her/ him sloshed (put on your best act guys… its needed here..!) and then watch their shenanigans and have a good laugh at their expense.. You will forget plying yourself in fear of making a worse spectacle than them...
And last if you do find yourself sloshed... just get to the bathroom and puke… puke and keep pukinggg…Don’t worry , a hurt ego and looking like Rambo Stallone just bashed you 5 rounds in the ring but hey.. Anything acceptable butt a hangover right?
And soooo…. I have done my good and free deed for the day... and hope all you reading this will appreciate my oh-so-very-kind and caring heart .Ahem Ahem…. Now Godji can I pleaseeeee expect an offer for the next BOND WOMAN... in my mail box….?

NOT MY FUNERAL................YET.!!!!

One thing I have never been able to learn is the art of condoling the death of a relative..( funny no self help books on ’the art of condoling’ either! ) Fortunately or should I say unfortunately I have not had to condole many deaths so far in the ‘few’ years I have been alive to improve my ‘condoling’ skills . So when an uncle passed away a few weeks back I quickly knew I had to call and do the whole ‘I am sooo sorry to hear of uncles’ death’, even as I munched on a double cheeseburger and diet coke… (Yes my friends, it’s only in the USA that one can order a double cheese 1.4 pound chicken burger and a large side of French fries /wedges and then look stubbornly into the waiters eyes and say… ‘and a DIET COKE please…… You see if I postpone the ‘condoling’ for even a couple of days I get more and more nervous and finally chicken out altogether and at the next family gathering all the eyes look accusingly at me ….. ‘ MURDERESS’ …Of course it matters not that you have not met the demised since you were in diapers or at your wedding which it seems like a few centuries ago… yet you are supposed to shed copious tears..
This brings me to my own funeral… Now now before you all start preparing your condolence messages to me let me make it clear it won’t be happening for another 20 years at least and till then I hope stem cell technology will be advanced enough to give me at least 50 years more.Ermmm is that why all my neighbors grow so many plants ? To have enough stems when the time comes? Damn Evers you better start soonnnnnnnn.
Truth be known if I were to die soon I really don’t think my death will affect anyone much. Hmmm maybe my sons as they will miss my butter chicken for sure.HMMPPH Serves the bloody brats right for forgetting to wish me on Mother’s day !!!But it sure will affect me the most . Damn I have yet to become famous, and have a park with only my statues in it… and of course I have yet to write my Pulitzer prize winning novel and the SELF PRAISING autobiography every writer is supposed to write no matter how boring.. Damn not even a chapter written. And no park or hall or college auditorium named after me… damn not even a bus stop! How depressing..OOPS and I yet to become the next BOND WOMAN also… O LORD… please take all the existing IFFIANS before you pull my number okkkkkkkkkkk. PHEW… Thank you GODJI… most appreciated.
No matter, whenever I kick the bucket--------------------------but I am sure I will have the shortest obituary in the newspaper….
EVER DIES……

MY NEXT JOB..............!

So, these days I am feeling very very ‘vela’. Now ‘vela’ in Punjabi implies….with no work, with lots of time to daydream, get into trouble etc. It has seriously made me think about getting myself a ‘job’. With recession hit times I really don’t want to take away jobs from any fellow iffian who seem to be as ’vela’ as me , so am trying to find a job which is justttttttttttt for me !
After thinking and thinking and finding nothing suitable I finally daydreamed myself into the one that would suit me justttttttt right and am waiting for the ad to be out so as to be the first to apply. Yes hold your breath everyone… I think I fit the role of the next ‘Bond Woman’ purrrfectlyyyyyyyyyyyy…!!!!!!!!!! (Yeah yeah ,I can see those heads shaking in amazement at my intelligence!)
One thing certainly not needed is some high flying degree. All I have to do is look pretty( make up will take care of the minor flaws so to say..) know how to mix a martini… the shaken or stirred types { how difficult can that be now for a smart ass like me to learn? ) know how to hold a gun…and whip it out in that deadly fashion before Bond arrives to finish his job ( a toy gun makes it soooo easyyyyyy and kisi ko pata bhi nahin chalta..!). I know swimming (will be buying at least 10 pairs of swim suits and bikinis as soon as some one offers to take me shopping.) and have recently learnt how to play poker, ( I am actually getting addicted to it now..!)in fact I actually took my family members to the cleaners when I last played… Ahem.. Listen… Even 10 dollars is a lotttttttttttt of money to win when u start off playing with 5 dollars..!!Which bank gives you that kind of returns pray tell me ?
Ok so I also know 3 Indian languages including HINGLISH… Now why should that matter? Well am sure some day Bond just has to come face the INDIAN VILLAINS ..right? Where would you find worse villains than the likes of our Indian politicians..and dons.?
So hey readers… As soon as you see any ad calling out for the next Bond woman please do let me know… Till then … you will find me at the gym working on my flab.. oopps i mean fitness. Ahem … times are a changing… Fit and fat is the next motto for the new Bond woman and I am going to prove it..!!!!

STILL THINKING OF A TITLE.....!!

So,just in case none of you bloggers of repute noticed, I have been missing for the past week.Not that it matters much since my frequency of blogging does not leave much to be noticed anyway and I did compensate my feeling of despondency on not being missed by attending and having an awesome time eating and socializing at a wedding.Shopping till I dropped in the Delhi heat and of course just enjoyingggggggg myself.If that does not get all you readers green then the fact that I’m off on another vacation soon should get you all positively sending me dagger looks with envy and jealousy...Aaahh I feel good now…..!!
Hmm and I guess I have noticed something has been down and up and out in the blogs while I was away! Shheeshh as usual missed it all but I won’t say more……'Ignorance is bliss' or 'Silence is golden'----take your pick!
So,I have 2 nephews growing up to be 2 handsome hunks to die for in the future but for now...at their unruly, untidy, demanding and irritatingly hungry best or is it worst? The young one has his b’day coming up next month and I was jaw droppingly amazed at the stuff b’days in Delhi are made of these days.I mean it’s just not about cakes and games and balloons anymore. It’s the whole jing bang… cakes and balloons along with clowns and magicians and a whole horde of entertainers and games and rides and different cuisines and gifts and return gifts of equal if not more value!The party has to have a ‘theme’ too !! Colors and costumes and matching accessories… Phew... damn it in our times we could get a whole marriage done in the budget shelled out these days for just a b'day party!!
I just hope I die and get reincarnated in a time when return gifts include a Hi def LCD TV... or maybe a whole game console or maybe a free trip to MARS..!!Damn but isn't that the place where all hot hunky men are from..? Sigh...now my prayers going to get a whole new dimension added to them.. Bechare Godji..!

So some one said to me,’Evers, you at no 2 in the active blog list’ I of course being humble and modest, just replied with a’ Thanks And all this is just temporary (still not at no 1.)KABHI UPER KABHI NEECHE.NO BIG ISSUE. Inside me I was jumping in glee like a 13 year old getting her first rose from a boy. Damn Evers, it took you four bloody years to get there. Hmmm makes me wonder if I could have got there faster if I had put up pics of a pair of shiny waxed boobs like eyefull’s ass!!But then I shy desi Indian lady!! HOW CAN I EVEN THINK OF SUCH THINGS YAARR..!! My beauty lies in my brains yaarr (ahem ahem... how impressively dumb that sounds to guys I know..!Lekin likhna padhta hai re!)
Of course I was NOT at all shocked to read Pramod Muthalik being caught taking cash to stage riots/protests in a sting op. After seeing what all our politicians have been up to during the past few years, I guess this is just like the proverbial fly in the ointment. I mean, if an Indian IFS lady can give country secrets out for a piece of Pakistani ass what can be more humiliating.?
And then we have an honorable minister saying that the Naxals are not terrorists. Excuse me minister... would you please define one For us then. Have you not been following the killings of innocents and poor by these people and causing widespread terror in the hearts of the very people they seem to be representing. I don’t think ‘terror’ has any religion. Look around Mr. Divijay Singhji, Sri Lanka, Israel, and even a small country like Thailand... how tough the governments have been and taken ‘action’ rather than just sitting and discussing the shenanigans of the IPL, Modi and Shashi Tharoor along with that female, I forget the name even, in Parliament!!
Btw females... check out Mallika Sherawat at Cannes displaying snakes as accessories to her dress to promote her next pic HISS..!! One gutsy female that and don’t dare call her ‘dumb’ before checking out her credentials! Yes sirs, she is a pass out from the prestigious Lady Shriram College Delhi and we all should know what their cut off percentage is. (If not ask mister google Pl.)One hot body that with smarter brains to match, to get where she has today. Just that we the public prefer to see what we want to see..!
And looking at the spate of ‘honor killings’ taking place around the country just makes me stop and wonder. how long before these people realize that forget finding females of the same caste for marriage, will they even be able to find a ‘female’ to marry the guys off to because these are the same people who kill females on being born.
But to end on a positive note... yippee yooo Vishy does it again..!!! World champ againnnnnnnn ... phew kya brains hai us mein!!

Nobel and me........!

They keep saying, 'try and try harder till you succeed.' I so want to win an award and am trying hardddddd and harderrrr but sighh...
Now now, i am trying to be very realistic about the whole thing ok. The first thing i gave up on was getting an award for a 'sport' though i did spend years and years watching which sport i should take up. So much so that my knees and back started protesting!!So i have left those awards for the Sachin's , the Anand's and the Sania's .!
The Nobel prize in everything but Peace and Literature seems way
out of my reach considering the fact that my grey cells protest
everytime i have to calculate the dhobi's bill.As for Physics,
Chemistry , Biology ? What's that..? Aahh you readers understand exactly what i mean right ?
Hmm as for the Nobel Peace prize. What luck!! Just when i was
having dreams of maybe just maybe doing something GREAT ENOUGH to bring India and Pakistan to come to 'peace' by some reallyy smart ass idea (non_ violent one at that.!) and hearing them say, 'HINDI-PAKI BHAI BHAI', do they go and and change the bloody level of judgment and start giving it to Presidents and those who are going to be one.. HMMMPPHH.
Obama must be thanking his lucky stars and of course those 5
members on the committee for getting him one. He sure did not bring any peace to anywhere. All he did was win an election over one who started one of the bloodiest wars in history.Its funny, Gandhi with his non violence theory brought peace and yet did not get the Nobel Peace prize.The meaning and definition of Peace seems to have changed completely these days and sighhhhhhhhhhhh therein lies the problem... I can never win the Nobel Peace prize NOWW..
so Evers------- back to your dreams of writing that once in
a lifetime piece of work which will get you an award... Sheeshh.
anything will doooo for starters..!!
