9 reasons why I dont miss TV

It just come to my mind that I have almost completed 2.10 years of my existence without TV (Occasional visits tohome and others's residence where i control the remote are excused)!!!I have sparsed my college days from this time-period as there I always had an option to watch TV in common-room.
So here I reason why I dont miss TV:
1) Absence of TV from my surroundings made me discover the oh-so-cool Radio.Yes, the 10 months I spent in Delhi were passed listening to the sound-waves at the frequency of 91.2 FM,93.5 FM and et al and even today i miss the scintillationg voice of Sayema from one station presenting old hindi songs and the husky sound of Nitin from the other.** Luckily I just discover that in my current place too, radio signals catch in my mobile**
2) No TV,no time-waste. I can clean my room without a second thought that I may miss a scene from any serial or a clip of new video.
3) I can read, literally.When I was young( I mean in my teens,it sounds so loooong time back;(( ) I used to convince my mother that I CAN read while watching TV.Now, do I have to reveal the truth to you??:) So last couple of years I had quite a time to read what I want and what is required..
4) I get time to call old friends and talk to them at length without my eyes glued to some "Idiot Box".
5) I can go anywhere I want to in the evening or in other words, can socialize.
6) Oh I just realized I can use my evening time to learn Table-Tennis in the club as well!!!
7) I dont need TV when music can be accessed from MP3 players,mobiles ,ipod and your neighbours place:)).
8) I can write, ahemm, think of writing at least..
9) Last but not the least,I am blessed with *RICH* friends who own TV and are *BENIGN* enough to hand me the remote when I visit them once in a while.So I get up-to-date with the latest offerings of Bollywood, the sole reason of my TV viewing:))

This day, every year

"You can’t hurry love

No, you just have to wait

You have to trust, give it time

No matter how long it takes!!"

Office-Office

The company for which I work has separate units for engineering,admin and manufacturing.There are strict security norms followed in the engineering and manufacturing units.For going to manufacturing unit we had to get a Red-Pass issued from our Senior and our Company I-Card which is checked by the Security guards at the manufacturing gate.

On a fine day, as I had to go to the manufacturing unit for some work I get my Red-Pass signed by my senior and start searching hurriedly in my hand-bag.(On a side note ,unluckily I had forgot to bring my I-Card that day.Careless me!).So there I was, standing beside my desk and looking for my I-Card in my bag.
My senior: "What happened??"
Me:"It seems I have forgot to bring my I-Card,sheesh!"(still searching in my bag)
My senior: "haah, Girls carry so bade-bade bags but dont carry necessary items!! hahaha"
Me: :-

Book Review: The White Tiger

It would have been a great pleasure to write any movie-review but since these days I am living in a haven devoid of these materialistic pleasures,I found solace in the once-declared-and-now-forgotten-friends i.e; books.

This year Booker Prize Winner "The White Tiger" ahs been creating waves and I felt so lucky to receive it, so what if in e-book format.;))

The book open in royal fashion, with the narrator, the white tiger, writing a letter to Chinese Premier.As the pages unfurled, you get a peep in to the real India,DARKNESS as referred by the narrator.The pages depict corruption,paucity,dishonesty,fear,filth,everything negative with a big N. But the sheer way, the writer binds the reader each night of his letter-writing is impulsive.

The reader, at times, feel disillusioned about the brightening India theory but then it also shows the determination & strength of will of Balram Halwai to be a master, the master of his destiny.

Dont know if it should have won the Booker Prize as it shows the country in not-so-good light, but then here comes the freedom of Expression which India stands for. Good novel, not bulky and easy to read small paragraphs.

As a first time novelist,great work by Aravind Adiga.The lack of flowery prose is made up by gripping thoughts and descriptions of narration. There are references to casteist politics, corruption at even school-level and everything wrong.

Makes a compelling read.You will feel hard-hitted by the description of the country in this novel but then you cant deny it, for sure.

Rehna Tu....Hain Jaise Tu

Rehna Tu....
Hain Jaise Tu
Thoda sa dard tu
Thoda Sukoon....
Tujhe badalna naa chahu
Ratti bhar bhi sanam..........
n so goes the melodious voice of Rehman from my music system and there i get transported to an altogether different world.Especially the flute playing in between the song gives it a very pious feeling.
Rehman, you rule!!!!
n oh the lyrics just talk about the "perfect" love.Does it exist????
