INDORE.. Meri Jaan!!!

Being a native of Indore and after spending considerable part of my life there I am inspired to write about the City. Further, many people I come in contact are eager to know about the city and hence a post for all of them.
Indore is an upcoming city known for its mix culture and eating delicacies. You can find many delicacies that, perhaps you have never heard of and which varies from season to season. (longing to eat many such delicacies)

Having spent a major part of my early life there I never thought of comparing it with any other city of India. Because a few cities I used to visit regulalry were not on the same level as Indore and my stay used to be just for a few days. But now after visiting a few Tier II cities of country, and having spent a considerable time span there, I am in better position to compare them with Indore and give some rational view on the same. Though, I will not detail here the comparisons yet, I will definitely state the good things about my home town.

Whenever I say someone that I belong to Indore, and the first reaction I heard from everyone is that Ohh!! its a very nice place, I have visited so and so place in Indore, I was especially admired by such and such thing.

Some of the things that the people admire about Indore are-

*A small place with mixed and good culture. Hence no barrier in terms of culture and language patriotism.
*Eating delicacies like my roomy likes the Khopra paties of Indore and the Namkeen. Namkeen is very famous of Indore and as I have earlier mentione delicacies changes from season to season. So in Summers you have Kulfi to satisfy your taste buds so in winters you have Garadu to spice you. Then, in rainy season you have a variety of snacks made from corn and apart from this Chat are all time delicacies.
*The people. Almost everyone has said that the people of Indore are very good. Even though in Nirma we were so many people from Indore, and everyone else was the jealous of this fact, but they do appreciated Indoris' for their good and simple nature
*Though there might be not many place to visit in Indore but still people do remember a few place in Indore and near to Indore also like Ujjain, Omkareshwar, Mandav to name a few.

No doubt Indore has got a mixed culture wherein people live with great harmony and is very famous for sev and samosa and matka kulfi to name a few.



Proud to be an INDian and INDorian.

Dabangg... The Fearless!!!

I guess this is the meaning of the word. A word most prevalent in U.P., the place where the movie is shot.
Well the movie is good. A short movie with no story line, yet you will not get bored. The action by Salman Khan is appreciable, his role and his character of "Chulbul Pandey" in particular. In addition the songs are also good.
Sonakshi's debut film but she plays a good yet plain and simple role. As I am not a movie critic I will not say more on her role.
The movie reflects one part of India which is well known as the place of crime. But then the reel life is different from the real life. There is no Chulbul Pandey there. There might be Makhan Chand alias Makhi and Cheedi Singh. but less of Chulbul Pandey.
However there needs to be some twist in the movies from the real world to make worth to watch.

I would recommend the movie as worth watching especially for them who like action movies.

Power.... Corrupts people???? or the other Way Round!!!!

Power

When I started writing this blog the first few words that comes to my mind are- “Give me the power”.. the famous punch line from the serial ‘Shaktiman’...

Everyone desires power, everyone on this earth wants to have unlimited power so as to have easy control on others.

Power can be in three forms-

ü Power of information

ü Power of money

ü Power of position

Don’t know which of the above mentioned form of power is the best, more rewarding or is more desirable. But ya, one thing is true that Power corrupts People.

Once the people have the power in their hands they think of others as their minion and start exploiting them. Also given access to powers wastage of resources is also immense.

Once should always save himself/herself from the ill effects of power, because if in future there arises some instances when you really don’t have power and that would be a very hard time of your life. When you enjoy power you also enjoy unnecessary flattery, support from everyone and everything you demand. But when power is not there people try to take return of all the good things they have done to you.

But there is the corollary also which says ‘People corrupts Power’. Well can be true. Ultimately it’s in the hands of human how to use a particular gift.

Hence, perhaps Power is not bad, it is it’s use by people which makes it bad.

To put it wisely, - “Not all people wish power, sane people stay away from it”.

SomeThing

You want Something,

You get something.

Something that you get,

may be the thing you wanted

Or may be the thing you never wanted.

But this Something that you get

Changes your life, in a while

Whether for good or bad

That God only knows!!!

That Something, you wanted

was based on, your past experiences

The Something you get,

Decides your future actions

Hence in life

when, we are sure to get Something

then why we beg for that Something

when we are not sure of the Something

we ultimately bag!!!

A Sense of Void

A Void

Have you ever felt void in your life at any moment??
Well in a person’s life there can be many moments when s/he has a feeling of void. Some such instance are-

Ø The period between two projects that remains idle
Ø After completion of a challenging task
Ø After death of some one,
Ø Breaking of love
Ø Your loved ones’ going away from you for some reason
Ø Change of location, Job, relations and so on.


Same feeling I was experiencing yesterday, when my parents, who came to meet me just for a day, went back to home. I don’t know the reason but I felt melancholic, for the entire evening. I was feeling as if something important is going away from me
It’s now three years I have been away from home, never felt like this ever before. Don’t know precisely the reason for this, but ya I did have a feeling of empty space not just in my home but also my life.

Life- A Play

What is Life?? A most intriguing question that has perplexed manking for ages and is yet unanswerable to the satisfaction.

Everyone has got his/her own definition for the word- LIFE. For some it is a puzzle, some it is a job to be completed and for some it’s a heaven’s gift.

But for me life is a play, a drama, with different stages. These stages are- childhood, teenage, youth, mid-oldies and finally oldies.
He curtain is unveiled with our birth and we are taught to play the, I stage of childhood.
We learn many things in this stage and this is the formation stage, preparing us for next part i.e. for teenage and then the age of youths. Similarly we enter other stages and finally one day the curtain is drawn with our death.

But one thing that we should learn from this play that we get chance to play every stage, just once. We, however much we yearn, we will not get the chance to play a previous stage ever again. Also, the people who were with us at one stage may or may not continue to play with us in the next stage. Hence, we should be very careful while playing our role, so that we don’t have regrets ahead in life.

In nutshell-
“Life is a play, create and cherish memories ate every stage.”

कुछ लिखना हे पर लिख न पाऊ

कुछ लिखना हे पर लिख न पाऊ
कुछ कहेना हे पर कहे न पाऊ
जाने कहा गई वह बातें,वह यादें, वह मुलाकातें
अब तो निकलती भी नहीं इस दिल से वह फरियादें
तुमसे मिलना चाहू पर,
तुम्हारे पास आ न पाऊ
तुमको पास बुलाना चाहू,
पर इस मन को न समझा पाऊ
अधूरी रहे गयी यह कविता,
पूरा इसे कर न पाऊ
कुछ लिखना हे पर लिख न पाऊ
कुछ कहेना हे पर कहे न पाऊ
