Hi there! How’s life treating you all? It’s been a bit busy this side …sometimes I like this ‘busy’ ‘ness’ and sometimes I just want to escape this maddening rush of ‘things-to-do’ and ‘targets-to-accomplish’ manic kind of life…where it’s all about getting somewhere in life...and that ‘somewhere’ always remains ‘that somewhere’, and our chase continues… because probably we are “cultured” or “tutored”: to lead a life that largely resembles a herd mentally-just go on and on….why.. cause we have to get to “that somewhere”…so, no stopping for anything- to steal those silent moments for ourselves-to feel the love around us-to feel the emotions that bind our families-to feel that happiness that lies within us---that happiness which you and I have cause we have wonderful people around us-our families and friends and even to feel the pain-of others-I feel we have insulated ourselves…and that’s how, like I said in one of my previous posts, we mean ‘business’ in everything that we do-that’s how our lives are commercialized- ON SALE-FOREVER….
That’s the kind of “culture’ which is the in-thing today and it hurts to see today’s children losing their innocence in this era of die hard materialization and ruthless and dirty competition!
I am thankful because I have people around me to tell me that life isn’t a ‘chase’, life is rather a journey packed with experiences of all kind to make this journey a loving and memorable one-life is surely a jigsaw puzzle which wouldn’t be complete without our family and friends- what I mean to say is life is all about ‘living’ and ‘loving’ rather than ‘getting that somewhere’. Yes, I am placing highest regard/value to ‘HUMAN REALTION’-which is so important for a healthy life and a strong social fabric- STRICTLY NO 'SYNTHETIC' THREADS!

Would wrap up with this –
Before every movie is screened, we have NATIONAL ANTHEM recital in every movie theatre and that’s mandatory, (Trust me I am so very thankful for this, I get to sing my National Anthem) In one of the multiplexes in Mumbai, what we get to see is the NATIONAL ANTEHM recital by INDIAN ARMYMEN, hoisting our national flag at SIACHIN GLACIER and reciting JAN GAN MANN…I was literally frozen to see that-the sudden gush of blood in my nerves-that chill and sudden lump in my throat-it was such a chilling moment where I felt so much but today I am at complete loss of words to express that feeling-of pride, belongingness –of respect and yes of my ( hopefully ‘our’) indebtedness to them…and this assures me that I am not an insulated and mechanical soul out here-that like those at SIACHIN GLACIER-even my life is not for SALE!
