Malgudi...

Just finished reading Malgudi Days by R K Narayan.....

As Expected... too good, too simple, just like that old teleserial, directed by Shankar Nag.

Malgudi is an imaginary world created by R K Narayan. But you can find the inhabitants of Malgudi in any part of the world.... The people, their characters are so like our own world, in which we live in, that we feel one with them. The stories are very simple, some slightly tragic, but never exaggerated mostly humorous but never slapstick.... Narayan never tries to emotionally blackmail the readers by too colorful emotions. He shows the protagonists as they are, gives space for us to be one with them and identify them. He never takes parts or justifies, he just chronicles the life as a historian- yes that is what he is, Historian of Malgudi.....

Some job thoughts... Some flashbacks....

Back from job just now, Eight o clock in the evening...

Timings are becoming absurd these days. Its better to shift some where near the company. Morning seven thirty I have to leave from room, and usual come back time is 8:30. About two hour goes in travel alone. But its ok... at least I am happy now, things have started working out. Seems at last rays of hope is pouring to my life. Last eight months had been terrible.

Working for my last company was my biggest mistake in my life.. I should not have allowed to be taken for granted. Wherever I had worked before I had earned a respect and well wishes from all my associates. And from this place nothing other than many criticism and mud slinging....I dont over react like them, so they think that I dont react at all... When I reacted I made it extreme. Then I did the right thing, I left the place at the right time.

And with much better results, in a month I got a good job in a multi national firm. Now I am getting the consideration of a professional, great support from seniors and subordinates, a tension free work environment...

A Wednesday...... and many saturdays....

A bomb exploded in Delhi....

I mean another bomb exploded in Delhi...

Two weeks back it was a sereis of blasts where many lost lives, relations, senses.... every thing.

Political leaders were busy 'condemning' the act....

Three week back they released a movie called A Wednesday, which put forwards a disturbing question to all sensible citizens of India, 'if there are cockroaches in your home will you kill them or will you breed them?' It meant to say that the common man is losing their patience due to repeated terror strikes and inability of concerned authorities to even nab the responsible, let alone prevent them pre- blasts.....

I feel it is time for each of us to put forward the question to authorities.... will you do some thing or shall we take up the responsibility to clean our house?

If public takes charge of things it will be horrific... public dont look at faces.... it will be brutal.... a mob has no discipline nor it has any morality..... remember Godhra.... after effects of a retaliation will be severe.... and government with its silent and indirect patronising is provoking man to turn beasts.....

Wake up before things go out of hands.... Show us people that you can do something useful other than horse trading and shouting in parliment..l..

Make us feel safe... and please put an end to testing the patience....

For God's sake stop condemning terror strikes and put an end to them....

Umpteenth Personal Diary in Net.....

Dear friend who came this far to read this insignificant post,

Thank you.

I know there are umpteen number of people writing their personal diaries as blogs. What makes my jotters any different from them, or from your personal life... or from any normal average soul ever to walk on this planet earth?...

I am not an adventurer, nor am I a Casanova... I don't travel too far or wide.... I live my life, as any other mortal around me, savoring life as good or bad as it is, as sweet or bitter as it is, displaying my fixed set of emotions, whenever and wherever I feel they are appropriate.....

So think my dear reader, why should you take this trouble... come all the way through the cyber jungle and read this uttering....?

I will tell you why....

• Because although the emotions displayed by each soul in this universe are same and identical, the proportion of this unique mixture is varied.... and there fore each person has a unique mind set
• Because like architects who with a piece of rock with them goes on to make sculptures that are unique, we too molds our life according to our mind set as we wants....

Feeling bored.....

I promise to come up with some thing more better and worthy in next post....
