Leaves of My Tree

Long time... Infact there have been a lot of things about which I had an opinion that I wanted to share. In the meanwhile, Things got quite bad that I had to rethink my opinion about myself. I irresponsibly lost my debit card. Then I was more irresponsible to I lose my wallet. The next week I fell down and hurt myself. In short, I have successfully managed to irritate myself. That apart, things are moving on in a slow pace with me these days. But nevertheless, the only satisfaction is that they have not stopped. One of the thing that really amused me this month was the statement by our Minister Mr. Gulam Nabi Azad. "Distribute TV to the villages in order to check the growth of population." Quite an interesting and amusing thought process! He supported this statement by explaining that this would be a medium of entertainment, as a result of which the population could be controlled. Imagine, if in the course of time, villages also get infected with B grade movies, which are sh...

For a while I have kept wondering if the term not bad was tantamount to saying good. I know that world is not in black and white. When you say your condition is not good you mean to say that your conditio is bad. But when you say your condition is not bad, you dont intend to mean good. Why is this?

Such are the ones whom we neither consider as harmful nor as useful. They are the grey ones. Infact they are the inactive ones.

They tend to do so for they have to remain in that system. I have been told by many that if you do not tolerate such things it would be very difficult for you to stay in the system. And it is impossible to change the sytem if you are not within the system. What a ...

I do not like Rakhi Savant. May be that is the reason why I am the regular viewer of her new reality show 'Rakhi ka Swayamwar'. The show started with 16 men of different sectors, different cities, different classes.. competing under one roof to mate ( the word is used in all its positive sense) a woman... in this case Rakhi. The first thing that came to my mind was a clip from the documentary Planet Earth where a dancing bird spreads its feathers in different fashions and colours to attract the female partner. Believe me... I thought it was a beautiful scene of nature, an innocent and intense feeling to keep alive your entity. This show is everything except innocence. Infact, it completely is surrounded by the aura of nonsense. I believe in India, marriage which was being called as a union, had already been changed to be termed as a contract by our laws. Well, a few years ago, I had heard a friend's mother talking about a boy and had used the word 'marriage materia...
