I met my school friend the other day! Here is what we shared...
(I met her in a very posh area in Mumbai , she got down from her car , asked her driver to park it , i struggled to find some space to park my car on my own! :) )
Me : Hey , i cant blve its u! U have changed so much ! You ve put on a bit (m a girl , don't blame me for this!! )...
She : Ya ! sup with u ?
Me : M working with "XYZ" as... (She dint allow me to say a word after that !)
She : Oh...another IT girl...! So amazing perks , hifi office and all ! Do u think u belong to this society ?
Me : (M meeting her after 8 years , i don't what to say! ) Dint get u!
She : Nothing yaar! Leave it! U wont understand...
Me : Okay , ssup with u ? wat u doing these days...
She : I got married and i stay in Juhu ! I am doing social work !
Me : Oh that's amazing ... working for any NGO ?
She : No ya ... i mean not directly , but i participate in "Burn a candle for blast victims" and similar events....
Me : Oh okay...really nice (I dint mean this at all! what do u get out of burning a candle for blast victims!! )
She : Ya , even you can participate , Neways i don't think you IT guys do anything for society...
Me : Umm (Do i tell her we do better things than burning a candle or do i keep my mouth shut!!) Ya...you have a point (With my political correctness)
She : I know ! You guys earn so much and dunno where to spend...
Me : (A very disgusted smile. )
She : Neways il catch u later , we have meeting about decorating a wall for people in dharavi ...
(She calls her driver and leaves for her meeting)
Me : Yeah , take care and keep up ur good work ....
There are two points i want the readers to note and think ,
1. There are two things about IT . Myths and Facts .
2. People like me who contribute rarely to this society need to revisit the fact that we own a lot to this society AND People who are actively involved in "STUPID" and "GLAMOROUS" social work need a reality check!

Life did it to me...
I have this sick habit of thinking 24*7 about something or the other ! Most of the times it is about if something , someone or myself were right or wrong ... Or maybe about i could have reacted in a better way , or sometimes consoling myself with "its OK , this is not end of life" ...And yes how can i forget the dreams ! Yes they also are part of this 24*7 thought process!
Now i know everybody thinks , maybe not 24*7 but everybody does ! When i look back i realize few days , months or years back i never thot so much ! or maybe i thot after i did \ said something . Somehow everything i say , do , react is planned recently. I not only think about what i have to say but i m ready with possible set of replies too ! :)
Sometime back i dint know how to act political and now i am an expert ! Earlier friendship just happened , now i am so damn careful about it! I loved eating junk food and now every now and then i am damn conscious about it! Earlier i thought there has to be a "happy ending" and now i start thinking with "what will i do if i fail or if this doesn't work ?" ! Small things no more bother me , but accident news about a stranger in newspaper make me cry ! I think someday i will own an "AUDI" but i think sooo much while taking a Rik for long distance!I hate someone in office but i still smile at him\her whenever i see him\her... I somehow do not trust an old frnd and go on sharing my feelings with newest frnd! Even when i am in a very important meeting i keep thinking about when will i sleep today ! :P I know few things are part of my duties but i still avoid doing them just coz i think and decide it doesn't make difference ! I have soo many things and incidences to share but i think this much is sufficient to convey the "confusion" or "thot process' whatever u choose!
Worst thing is after all this i feel now i am all the more mature :) Now it is not that funny ! I know things like "take it as it comes" , "live the moment" , "Do not regret" and other "gyan" too! :) But somehow i find it easy to use al this when i am supporting loved ones... But when it comes to me this "thought process" bothers me...! God what happened!
Thinking too much sometimes dominates natural instincts is what i feel !But i still love that domination ! I have no reason for that ; actually for many things ! Not that i was not aware that its changing ... I was completely aware..
Some may think its "artificial" , some may think "so what if u think 24*7" . I do not have answer to why did that happen , How is it helping ! and but i am pretty sure this happens to many of us in our respective lives! I am not sure about the purpose of this blog , lemme confess it here ! But i am loving this terrific graph of my thinking process and just felt like sharing it ! I don't know if u call it "madness" , "maturity" , "nirvana" or whatever ! But yes , Life did it to me! :)

"Quota Question" !
Today i am writing something which i wanted to write long back... One thing which bothers me a lot in our education system the cast based admission procedure.
I understand students coming from adverse "ECONOMICAL" background need a special quota.
I understand students coming from remote villages need a special quota as they do not have enough facilities and infra during their primary education.
But everytime i think i fail to understand (I SAY I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND) why a student who learns in the same school i attend , who has each and every facility that i have , who lives in the same type of apartment as mine , who eats what i eat , who has all those luxuries that i have too...HAS A RESERVATION ??? !!!! ???
I refers to every individual who doesnt produce any caste certificate to get into a college!!!
Why why why!!!

Mad for Mad
Yesterday i was watching Q-sera (Madhuri's song in pukar) and i felt this time i must write about it!
I am going to make a statement which might create controversy or hurt some people , but all those who know about dance will agree !!! I feel "Madhuri Dixit is the best dancer we have ever had... And nobody ever can reach to her level in future too!!!"
I have seen dancers who are technically strong , good in expressions , very graceful , with terrific timing ,amazing chemistry with co star! , who use their eyes a brilliantly , who know what type of dance needs what style , But , Unfortunately EXCEPT for her never came across anyone who has all of this and much more!!!
There is one quality as a dancer i feel a "good dancer" should have! and thats connecting to the audience and making the dance look really easy when its damn diff and complicated ! And blve me she is a master in this... I am not writing something new i know , just revisiting what all her fans think about her!!!
To sum up! I stand by my statement abt her!
I have nothing more than this to write , just wanted to say , NOBODY IS PERFECT , and MADHURI IS NOBODY :)) Love u Mads!!!
