Status Quo!

As my friend Sumit says, God made man, Man made Economics and Economics created the great divide.
As if religion, sub-caste, and region weren’t enough to create disputes, it is your economical, social and financial status that mars your love and life at every step.
Your CTC, the company you work for, your designation, the gadgets you can afford, are the parameters that decide how a person is treated? These days when a man or a woman decides to settle down, it appears as if he/she  is looking for a business partner than a life partner. I have met men who are pretty impressed with what I want to achieve in my life, they like the fact that I have a plan in place and I am on my way. But does that take you a long way as a couple? Are you looking for someone who can keep your competition fire burning till you retire? It is not wrong to find someone of your status but what’s disheartening is that the value of human emotions involved is ever depreciating. It seems more like cracking a business deal than ‘holy’ matrimony. I wonder why ‘holy’ in the first place. Lets not get there for now, but why can’t one be judged purely on the person that you are? Why does your CTC matter? And how? Should this be the reason to be shameful of your own blood?
Here is an interesting piece of information I found on Wikipedia, the term ‘Status Quo’ in Israel refers to an informal agreement conducted in 1947 between the secular leadership of the Zionist movement in Palestine and leaders of the Orthodox Jews, this agreement lays down ground rules for the relationship between state and religion in four major issues, lets leave out the other three for they hold no significance here, the surprising of them all is Matrimonial Law! It seems not just Israel but the entire world agreed to it and we further divided ourselves!
It saddens me to know that people drift apart as they grow higher in ranks and with the money in their banks. What happens to your family and friends? Well as they say life goes on…No wonder that people love Karan Johar movies... after all, we go to theatres to escape reality. Indeed the movies have become a family affair; after all “It’s about loving your family!” Pun intended!

Goodness Gracious!

It’s a lazy Saturday morning and the first thought I have today is to write something about God! I see people all around me praying, some genuinely thank Him and some bribe Him for something or someone they desire the most, as if He is a government officer! If that’s not enough by ‘God’s grace’ their wish materializes they tell everyone to go to that place and pray for what they want. Strange are God’s ways of dealing with people, sometimes I wonder if He falls for their bribes! Although I have never met these set of people, but I find them very amusing, let’s call them the ‘Bribesmen’.

These ‘Bribesmen’ comprise of people from both sections of the society, the classes and masses. I don’t blame the masses but the classes surprise me all the time! The classes are born with a silver spoon and are gifted with almost every other metal one could ask for in their lives, they still crave for more! They go to every temple, they pray, they give away a lot in charity, they perform pujas and ‘shantis’ for their well being, hoping to please God and eventually get what they want! And if God does not give in to their demands, they blame Him for not paying heed! Idiots, did He ever ask you to put so much of your efforts in these things in the first place? Had you put those efforts in moving an inch closer to what you want, you could have reached there by now!Just as the old saying goes, God helps those, who help themselves!
God created us and gifted us with the power to create our destiny by giving us this amazing organ called brain, and a conscience that can help you choose the right from wrong. Do we still need to make a genie out of God?

Soul Sister :)

One may think that this is blog looks like a mutual admiration society's bulletin board; but you are free to do so. But this is the only thoughtful gift I have ever received and I must express ...

My first impression about this girl was that she must be a 'Rock Chic' and I was right. For anyone who sees her humming an old Hindi classic, will be in for a surprise as she also listens to Linkin Park with equal admiration! I didn't need much information after that; a person with such a diverse liking can be quite enigmatic and charismatic. People who know her will agree that she has her way with words and can throw googlies at you... and you wouldn't know what hit you! :) She will go out of the way to help you, but I really wish she would become just a little selfish so she doesn't hurt herself all the time.
Princess (that's what I call her), you don't have to thank me. Remember, the F.R.I.E.N.D.S.' theme song... yup, that's what friends are for!
Here is the verse that suits us best:
No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows, what its like to be me!
It is indeed true for us that Himali and I are so alike in every way! Over the past 2 years Himali has become one of my closest pals... I am glad I now have 3 of them! :)


Thanks for the wonderful gift Princess! :)

This is a gift!

This is Himali.. Sonali's Friend... (dunno about the best part.. i would rather say soul sister.. ;)
