HATS OFF TO U!!!- SWEETHEART!!!



This is the blog that I am writing for my sweet little angel, my younger brother.
He is going to scream out saying I M NOT A KID, on reading this.
Well, true enough, since you cannot call a 21 year old guy a kid anymore.
I m writing this because his B.E. results are out, and he has passed with flying colours. His certificate says B.E. with DISTINCTION!!!!
This is really a thing to be proud of. I know it by experience, getting a distinction in engineering and that too from Mumbai University is really a thing to be boasted about!!! Not everyone can do that!!! I agree that there would be quite a worthwhile people who must have secured distinction, but then still I will say, the thing that he has achieved is something to be counted as unique. Let me put it like this>

How many of the engineering students can boast of a distinction (Mumbai university – this is just for Mumbai university) along with a inter-collegiate first prize in Dance competition, prize in dramas, awards for cricket team adventure sports like Rappling, and finally have a huge fan following. I guess this narrows down the number a lot. This is whom you call an all-rounder I guess!!

Knowing him since the time he is born, even I don’t recollect much of my childhood days, but have just some sort of memories here and there. Well, no doubt there was a bit of jealousy in mind, when I used to see people pampering him instead of me.
But, when did my affection for him overrode my jealousy, I don’t recollect. All that I remember is that we had a great childhood.
We are more like buddies, we talk about every topic under the sun, and nothing is hidden amongst us. It can be either something funny about his college or more mature topics like relationships! He is the one, who is always there on my side and whom I can count on at all times to come by. A true scorpion, is he, has a good lot of memory about things when people have said something bad about him. A hard working person, determined, and very person. As he now begins a new phase in his life , leaving away from the safe cocoon of home and college, ready to face the harsh realities of life, I wish him all the best.

A few lines for you bro,

Wishing that success be your constant companion everywhere
Let love and happiness always be on your side
Fill your mind always with thoughts pure and clear
And may your fame spread far and wide.

It is important to work hard
But necessary to work smart
Learn to give, listen and understand
But at the same time be firm and fair.

Life will treat u with many twists and turn
It would be too harsh and you might get your fingers burn
Learn from your mistakes and stick to your goal.
A failure sometimes will only strengthen you.

The last lines doesn’t seem to go well, nyways , ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR FUTURE!!

SPIRIT OF MUMBAIKARS!!!!!!!!--BUT WE 2 ARE HUMANS!!


The spirit of Mumbaikars, this is the constant term that has been said time and again whenever the city of Mumbai has faced any tragedy!!! The newspaper and media have always reported that how after a tragedy Mumbaikars always seem to go about their routine. They praise the strength and the resilience of the people. But frankly speaking, it’s just the survival instinct of ours that make us go about our work as if nothing has happened. We are not as strong as we are made to be. We are as fragile and weak in our hearts as our foreign counterparts. When we leave home, we very well know that anything can happen to us. The city that we live in is always ready to burst. We live on a day to day basis, with no idea about what will happen tomorrow. The reason that we are back the next day, is not, because of our never-say die spirit but because we are forced to do that. People come out from the safe shelter of their homes to earn their daily bread. There are scores of thousands of people in Mumbai who are daily wage earner; One day of absence will result in more than one empty stomach. Who will want to do this to his/her family? That is why, people are out on streets. Each and every minute is important to survive here. If you aren’t present then, there are thousands behind you to snatch your opportunity. Situations like this have taught mumbaikars to take any things in their stride as if it is destined on them. Never will this question be asked: WHY ONLY MUMBAI!!!

It is this understanding that makes Mumbaikars come forward to help others, because they very well know that tomorrow it will be they themselves who will be at the receiving end. This feeling of empathy makes mumbaikars help complete strangers.
The last year flood, the bomblast that has happening around since 2003, the recent downpour and yesterday’s blast are just some evidences.

Here in Mumbai, we have learnt not to have any expectations from anyone. After any incident, blames are just passed around with nobody willing to rectify the situation. An enquiry committee will be setup, some reports written and the thing is forgotten unless another tragedy strikes. A bitter proof of this is, that no verdict has been given and no persons punished for the gruesome blast of March 1992. The case is still on with the criminals at large. This just indicates how Mumbai is taken for a ride by the anti-social elements. The victims are easily forgotten by everyone finally it’s just the fight for survival. One who has the will and the strength to endure this emerges the winner.

As everyone, even we wants to lead a peaceful life, a life that is devoid of such tensions, but since the people in Mumbai are torn between the politicians and the mafia, such things remains a Dream!!!
