Having Kids: Why or Why not....

And... today  I would be writing something really controversial, something that might give constipation to many, something after which I might be thought to be crazy! Anyways, I write what I feel... Being married has many advantages, and the amazing and beautiful ones (uncountable, I tell you!), but one thing that I detest about this institution would be I guess that just after a year or so, everybody around you start asking about your plans for kids, and this lot include your friends as well. After a while, you start feeling as if you were married just for having kids! And this curious question becomes more annoying when it gets transformed to "Do you have any health issues which is preventing you from having a baby?"  And this is something not just me, but many of my friends are also going through. And now, out of compulsion I have started playing with these people who ask me this question by throwing another question at them, why... why 'should'

Krishna-The God who lived as Man: Bhawana Somaaya, Kaajal Oza-Vaidya (Book Review)

I never post book reviews on this page of mine. But then, recently I read an extraordinary book, the review of which I am compelled to write at whatever places i can, its that beautiful and gripping! It would actually be an arduous task for me to hunt for words that could describe my feelings for this book! That could elaborate on how I felt after reading it... It's going to be a taxing exercise! I generally take my own sweet time to finish books, but this one! I tell you I finished in 2 days!  This book is, I guess the best portrayal of Krishna's life till date. It deals with his relationships with the four women whom he loved, loved intensely: Radha, Draupadi, Satyabhama, Rukmini. Unlike other epics where all his roles are confined in relation with Gokul, Kans, Kurukshetra, Gita, Arjuna etc... In fact, the beginning of the book itself is totally different. It starts with Krishna, being on his death bed, ready to be relieved from this wo

Few questions...

Thoughts erupting like a volcano, questions arising like the waves... ... Questions about the world, about my existence, about everybody's existence... Creating a havoc in my brain Questions ranging from Why, what and how of my existence to where and what afterwards? Feeling like 'am going through a hurricane... Feeling like being stuck in a turbulent whirlpool What is it? Is something calling me? Or is it just another hallucination? I feel contented though, but still I am craving, craving for the unknown I feel happy though, but still am not in ecstasy I feel like a beggar, with nothing... Just few questions! Questions for which I am seeking answers Questions ranging from who I am, What am I doing and What is the meaning of my existence... They don't let me sleep, they don't let me rest... Who will answer my curiosities. Who will quench my thirst for that missing thing... At times, I feel it's all vain... It's all futile... Or is it just a delu

I wanna see you happy

Can I ask something? Something... Do I make you happy? I know its not easy to answer But still I want to know! I just want to make you happy Though it feels opposite at times I wonder if I give you all that you want And I ponder if I am the woman you desire Will you ever leave? Say No please... Your happiness is all that I care about Your smile is all that I wanna see Your giggles are all that I wanna hear Nothing I want, if I cant have that Your sadness makes me wretched, Your gloominess drenches me with dejection I feel like taking you in my arms and holding you tight When I see you cry, I feel like wiping away your tears forever And I feel like giving you all that I have To stop you from bleeding, I can take away all your pains Just to make you smile Just to make you happy Even if it means to let you go... I will, yes baby I will I just wanna see you happy I just wanna see you smiling Even if I have to let you go... Coz I know I am not perfect My lo

Lets stop feeding the negative Trolls!

“Arguing with anonymous strangers on the Internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be—or to be indistinguishable from—self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free time.” ― Neal Stephenson, Cryptonomicon Read a news last week... Not exactly News - News... But yeah, it was featured on NDTV website, so I referred it to News. BTW, this is one of the most misused words these days: News! Anyways, yeah so the news was that someone tweeted to Sonakshi Sinha asking "What makes you so damn ugly?" Keeping Sonakshi's brilliant reply apart, I was actually upset by this one question. It dragged me into thinking what's wrong with people these days? They are kind of losing all their common sense of mannerisms and the decent way of behaving in public. I mean they don't bother about crossing that thin line of not respecting someone and insulting someone. There is a subtle difference between the two, which
