Sorry...Really?

-






'Wo kehte hain na dosti mein no sorry no thank you'..very filmi line and probably mouthed a billion times between friends and between those who want to be more than friends! However, as grown ups how often and how meaningfully we say 'Sorry'? We do say it  as part of a formal conversation just like excuse me but most of us don't mean it. If you ponder a little, you will realise that it is very difficult to say a real sorry, actually accepting our mistake and then communicating our remorse for it. Most of us won't do that...

kids and very young kids who learn a 'sorry' and 'thank you' the earliest and easiest say it at the drop of a hat. Mind you they do understand it's real meaning too. But then would say it. My 3 year old daughter knows when to say sorry like when she has accidently brushed past me, if she drops something, upon a burp etc etc. Very interestingly will even say a sorry on our behalf when it's actually the parent's turn to say sorry (read me and hubby).

The girl has just started her education. So what makes us reluctant to say a real sorry. Needless to say as we grow up we do get more educated..really? If we cannot admit our mistake graciously then do we have the right to be called educated in the right earnest. We might be feeling sorry but if we are not able to communicate it then what is the use of our education? A real sorry, one from the heart just like a kid says laced with all the innocence, can make this world a much more beautiful place. A sorry can make a big difference..practice and find the peace yourself!

Love a la Padman

Being a hard core Akshay fan and of late his wife's fan too, somehow just wanted to watch this much publicised 'issue' based movie, Padman. With my 3 year old daughter, multiplex visits are minimal now but very much wanted even her to watch this 'women' centric film. Somewhere something was striking very hard. Just out of a fancy Gurgaon based multiplex, me, hubby and our daughter are super enthralled. Yes, the movie turned out to be just awesome and this was for the first time the active toddler decided to sit back and watch the entire show. Wow! So for me the movie was no less than wow. We have the superhero, Akshay Kumar, just drowning himself completely in this superhero role. What if somebody creates a machine and a pad churns out of it at Rs 2. Big deal! Yes it is a big deal for those who still can't utter this very basic female physiological phenomenon. Perhaps it is unimaginable for an urban metropolitan audience to comprehend the kind of embarrasmen

Freedom - what does it mean to you?

-
We just celebrated our independence day. 61 years ago we were under the rule of britishers. We freed ourselves loudly declaring to the world our independence. We have come a long way. Today we live in an independent India. Are we actually enjoying the freedom today? I belive that we have come a long way from where we started and probably going haywire. In this growing journey towards individualisation, we are losing on many accounts. Everyday, one or the other terror strike and violence in some part of the country is certainly very disturbing and no matter how carefree you are, it would be tough to remain aloof. More agonisingly, our next generation would be suffering even more. Not really want to sound pessimistic but the panic-ridden faces of people even on an independence day are no comfort!

For nature's sake.....

Almost all of us are expressing concern over the changing pattern of weather. There have been plenty of rains with practically negligent summer this time. Although this is something to rejoice upon with a heavy respite from sweltering heat. Yet people are apprehensive about the changing weather conditions. As they say, weather is something very unpredictable. Nature is a big mystry and no matter how hard we try to understand, it always surprises us with unique trends. Global warming is a much-talked about phenomenon. Although there is greater awareness about environmental concerns yet humans are doing everything they can to destroy the natural balance. This is partly because of a short-sighted approach and partly due to rapid urbanisation. Environment is still largely ignored while planning any new urban development. This is causing trouble and the consequences are surfacing now and will be more profound in the future. Nature has this unique ability to sustain itself. However, even nat
