HARtALS Everywhere

Hartals are the same everywhere in India..u curl down with a pillow on the couch and run yur fingers restlessly on the remote buttons.Soon tv channels will have "HARTAL DAY SPECIAL MOVIE" nd shows specially for the festive day break wen movements are still..I woke up to a silent mumbai today..feeling happy for the same,for today has no more monday morning blues ;P;the usual sounds of the rick and the drool of the horns of the BEST buses are missing altogether...arising that UNmumbaish feeling.Well the silence on road has been well compensated by the NOISE on the news channels,with multiple screens from all the four metros flashing fire and fury with zero solution to the problem they were fighting for.As usual ,the fairy tale ends with "AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER"...6 TO 6 ie it.

Young Adults

Am I an adult yet?
Is being 21 years old enough to be an adult?
I guess not.
We live in a country where talking about sex is taboo. For some, the act itself is a necessary evil.
So I'd say we are all still children. So lets throw all responsibilities out the window and just enjoy!!

The City of Joy

With names like Esplanade, Park Street and Cornwallis Avenues, one would think they are in London, but a closer look shows that they are in a more beautiful place called Kolkata.

Though the city is one big traffic jam, it is quite a sight. The narrow roads are filled with Ambassador cars, I too went around in one. I was surprised by the size of the car, its huge! Three can sit comfortably in the back without touching each other.

The people are very helpful too. And unlike New Delhi or Mumbai, the youth here are not much of the Pg3 HiFi types.

Got to dip my feet in the Ganga (Hooghly) near the Dakshineshwar temple and hopefully they are free of sin.

The place is more of a girls delight with the large number of saree shops selling the traditional bengali handloom sarees.
