The idea of switching to organic might bring some twitching in the fingers and mind. Its just so uncomfortable thought of giving up not so health oriented life we are currently leading. But as and on one learns about organic, one would realize how easy it is to bring some focus to your health. A few days ago, I was chatting casually with a friend and this topic came up. "Do you even realize how much quantity of pesticides (ok leftover) do we consume each day along with our daily diet of daal/chawal/roti/sabzi" I was animatedly blabbering......he stopped eating for a moment, looked at me blankly and said "Chill this is what everybody does, plus nobody would never realize if you never uttered a word about it" and resumed his eating gladly. It came upon me that people would need to be shaken, told over again and again about how can their lives change with the organic products. This is an amateur effort to start with. The blog is dedicated to supporting an organic l...

The past month was very eventful for Indians.It seemed liked independence revolution came back but this time it was India against India. Though I was mentally/emotionally/sometimes physically part of it......somehow the lazy me wouldn't permit me to think about it more than an hour of the day. But one of friends played the role. I'm extremely amazed at the spirit of this woman who is another ordinary person like me with ambivalent aspirations and bubble gum generation ideology but the ardent support she offered for this movement was great. I'm proud of you Charu(who's the Anna hazare of our gang) and here's a excerpt of her experience of this movement in Bangalore in her own scribbles..... 1. back from Pune, tired 16th Aug 2. D told me about movement in blore 3. Saw on TV 4.

Monday was a Holiday from office and it was raining heavily……..I gazed lazily at my share of the sky trying to peep from the black weeping clouds into my window. There could be nothing better than a plate of hot “pakodas” and ginger -tea. I pictured myself savoring the taste while observing the translucent patterns that the raindrops formed each time they landed on the glass panes. One drop here and it rolls down to join the other drop from the previous sprinkle a second ago and together they invite themselves to form cute alphabets of some unknown language. I somehow succeeded in finding some small story, face or symbol and smiled shyly to myself. This non working state pleased me. It was like a reward to the constant running of fingers on the black keyboard, strenuous activity of the eyes to concentrate on the monitor and pain the neck muscles had to bear due to long sitting hours. Ah!!! Could we wish anything else from life? I decided stubbornly that I’m going to enjoy this heavy s...

I'd been wondering about this since this opened up and every time I opened "new post" in my blog and wanted my fingers to come up with some beautiful sentences, I failed miserably and I silently signed out each time. I doubted if I ever could pen down what real beauty is . I should have known that I was a fool to think if I would ever be able to describe real beauty because its much more than what ever could be felt about, touched, seen, expressed, written, admired….its so much more than perspective of a single person. A pregnant lady is beautiful cause she’s carrying a new life inside her, nourishing her, protecting her and attempting to make her one of her own kind. An average poor lady working on roads, industries, mines is equally beautiful cause she is so courageously facing the world and earning her own livelihood and probably also for her family. She is independent and bold and free from all worldly double faced malice which makes her unique in her own sense....

1. Turkey As of now it’s going to be the only Eurasian country with a great ancient cultural heritage you can visit! Turkey is a fascinating place and the tourism is largely focused on variety of historical sites and seaside resorts along its Aegean and Mediterranean Sea coasts. The place which cannot be missed while in Turkey is the capital. Istanbul is one of the hot-favourite holiday destinations lately. There are a huge variety of hotels and resorts from where you can choose your own, depending on the budget. The stay in Istanbul will be an enchanting experience.

You can shop in The Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar, one of the oldest covered markets of the country or at the Cevahir Mall, the largest shopping centre in Europe. One can feel euphoric at the Bosphorus Bridg...

One of the unusual days at office when I’d the least work…I was wondering about some most lamest discussions of all times, one which has been on the top list of the girls while filtering out from the prospective bf list. I was thrilled to pour in some of my own for the cause. love You know what 1. You can feel butterflies in your stomach when you are about to meet Not butterflies but yes some sort of chemicals running down from your brain to the exclusive parts of your body which would give you an equal amount of you know what 1. You can whisper sweet nothings and go back to sleep hugging a teddy bear These type would be the most sound sleepers as they have a lot to dream about 2. Its enjoyable planning surprises and buying gifts for him/her Yeah ! too much brain work to plan surprises when u can be alone 3. You can smile sheepishly , loose yourself in thoughts and even chuckle alone in Office. People would just waive off saying ...

Here it comes again.......not the same. A different version of nervousness. unable to comprehend, decipher my own acts. this one is set out on a different tone. unknown feelings about someone i'd known so long. and different characters involved. A mother with traditional rural background unable to adjust with my modern attitude. We both are struggling to keep up with the silence during the conversation.... and I can feel that too. But i'm surprised to learn she works in a bank in the local village...and the father goes to the nearby town and works as a chemical engineer and yet they have a very humble place to eat , relax and sleep....I'm set off to another one now where i'm struggling with my inner self not to fall for.....but its just impossible. Even as i woke up perspiring today, I could feel the same and it lingered on for another couple of hours ! They say that 99 % of the dreams are forgotten in a few minutes after you wake up....Yes i dont rem the faces exc...

I've a very bad habit of never to book return tickets from back home. This irritates my mummy papa a lot as the holidays come to an end, we've to rush to travel agents for tatkal bookings, look for options on net, discuss which routes to take in case direct ones are not available....and thus waste lots of precious relaxation time ! Special thanks to Air India to launch direct flights from pune-Gwl. We would be highly obliged and thankful if you could reduce some fat money from the exorbitant amount(8000 INR) charged for a single trip !!!! Please bring it down to some payable level !!!! Anyways, so this isn't about the rates discussion of newly added flights of air India. I want to write about the last experience I'd of my train journey. As usual, I was running on last minute bookings for return to pune. The agent very confidently said " Yes Madam ! i'll book you a confirm ticket in 3 AC Goa express in tatkal" ... "Are you sure?? Please tell me before...

Does it happens sometimes that you feel good for no specific reason.....everything around is so positive and cheerful and full of life.??? I'm sure it does for many and....I was lucky enough to feel that today ! It was almost like in a typical movie...heroine waking up in the morning with a lazy smile and full stretch :) I just felt good about myself , my life , friends, family ....everything.....I saw a movie with my room mates - Band bajaa baraat....awesome movie....after that we all went into trans for long.....and discussed about typical marriage ceremonial differences of north and south.....Each one of us was very visibly getting hazy about how our marriages would turn out....how are the rituals going to be? Would we impress our in-laws...ha ha .It was so much fun I read "Breathless in Bombay" book for the rest of my afternoon....and in the evening an Office friend called asking me to go out with her.....we considered our options of going out...either watching a...

The mind plays very strange games with us….. Its happy when you get something you wanted to for long…. Its sad when it doesn’t…. Its happy when others are happy but not when the other’s happiness cuts up yours even though the other person is close to you…. Its sad for other’s sadness but never too long….the moment you have others things floating in your mind , it very happily engrosses us in the routine life…. Its also sad when you pretended in front of everybody that you are really not expecting anything out of some situation and are perfectly fine with every thing and it turns out the other way…. Its happy for trivial things and also sad for the same... It makes us experience such mix of emotions ….despair, sadness, delight,euphoria…...its really incomprehensible….and when it’s a moody one….lord save us ! Some deep scientific type of a guy would like to tell me that its all about the hormones and all that tech stuff….but my mind would like to believe otherwise….or is the heart I am t...

Its been quite a number of times since I’ve travelled in a bus now….and the experiences are myriad. Especially the short distance bus routes ….. I see lot of people in the bus who r rushing back to meet their families for a couple of hours after a long tiring day with initial buttons of the shirt opened and collars ascrewed giving an impression of the torture accessory just being pulled off cruelly…. or getting back to work, with crisp light blue shirt, ironed formals and a suave blackberry in hand, and vice versa. Others are lots of senior citizens probably off to meet their sons and daughters who had their snacks packed for the 2 hour journey and juices filled up in a bisleri bottle. These people also differ variedly. Some are educated ones and start questioning about your education, work, background etc with keen interest. And they always have somebody in their family relations to brag about their job profiles comparing you with theirs and also end up giving advices on what you shou...
