HER

Before HER :

When the initial thought of conceiving a baby started there is a good amount of chance that it was meant to be a boy than a girl ,especially for a first child. It is the mindset of most of the parents during 70s-80s and may be even later.Until the last moment they might be expecting him , with a "note" either of boy or girl is fine. This is an inconvenient truth which is conveniently forgotten once "SHE" made her entry to the world.

----------------------------------------------------------------
The validity of the above said sentences is debatable. Do you want to validate after all these years? Will your perception towards your loving parents change if they never thought of you all the way before you were born?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After HER :

Life might be more or less the same for him for first few years be it a boy or girl. His life changes as she starts growing up. She becomes the light of his life. Her happiness is his happiness , her unhappy moments are his dark days. He lives with the same feelings along with her all the way through her happiness, sadness,anger, confusion, fear and many more. He is happy when she welcomes him with a smile after a long day. He is worried for her fears and at times smiles at them.He wears his protective gear for her safety as she grows up. He will be her best friend and later she listens to him , does things asked by him just to see him happy.  He pushes his limits to see her happy and lead a comfortable life. She is his purpose of life and at some point when she has to leave him , a part of his life has left him.

It might be same even for a boy with respect to feelings but not the same with the expressions as the boy becomes less expressive as he grows. She is more expressive.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All through life he never lets anything leave him which is dear to him and anyone whom he loves or who loves him. He does not apply the same for her. He lets his life taken away due to some societal pressure in the name of marriage and yet never questions it. In the name of continuity of evolution he sacrifices his life by letting her go. Will his mindset change with changing times? As he lives in a patriarchal society will he ever change the age old, time tested model because keeping his loved ones with him still makes him be part of patriarchal society.

P.S Him,his,he = father  Her = daughter

A movie Review

It is easy for a film maker to make a pleasant film with a subject that is universally accepted. But it takes more than guts to make an pleasant film with a subject that is not taken in right spirit by the society. Attempts have been made at International and National level to make a bold film keeping the aesthetics aside. But rarely you see a film which questions the accepted norms of the society at a regional level. One such attempt has been made by Director Ramaraju through his film "Mallela Teeram lo  Siri malle puvvu". Each and every scene is shot nicely without missing the aesthetic value which is well complimented by Art and Cinematography departments.
     
In times where a scene/song is forcefully induced into/removed from the film just to make it more appealing to audiences, here comes a director who just does what and how he wants his movie to be presented. The pace and few scenes of the movie sums it up. Yet the nicely written dialogues and soothing background music which never dominates any scene makes it engaging. Music and lyrics are wonderful where in lyrics take the front seat than the musical instruments.

The female protagonist on whom the the whole film is based on lived her role which worked well along with her narration.

This is what can be expected (in terms of subject) when a protege of Anurag kashyap  and a fan of Bapu ( in terms of aesthetics) makes a film.


After a long comes a movie which starts without the "Tobacco Ad" as no scene in the movie has the usage those products.

I hardly remember someone calling me wonderful...this mail made me more happy than small donation that I made to wiki...

Dear Santosh Sharma,

Thank you for donating to the Wikimedia Foundation. You are wonderful!

It's easy to ignore our fundraising banners, and I'm really glad you didn't. This is how Wikipedia pays its bills --- people like you giving us money, so we can keep the site freely available for everyone around the world.

People tell me they donate to Wikipedia because they find it useful, and they trust it because even though it's not perfect, they know it's written for them. Wikipedia isn't meant to advance somebody's PR agenda or push a particular ideology, or to persuade you to believe something that's not true. We aim to tell the truth, and we can do that because of you. The fact that you fund the site keeps us independent and able to deliver what you need and want from Wikipedia. Exactly as it should be.

You should know: your donation isn't just covering your own costs. The average donor is paying for his or her own use of Wikipedia, plus the costs of hundreds of other people. Your donation keeps Wikipedia available for an ambitious kid in Bangalore who's teaching herself computer programming. A middle-aged homemaker in Vienna who's just been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. A novelist researching 1850s Britain. A 10-year-old in San Salvador who's just discovered Carl Sagan.

On behalf of those people, and the half-billion other readers of Wikipedia and its sister sites and projects, I thank you for joining us in our effort to make the sum of all human knowledge available for everyone. Your donation makes the world a better place. Thank you.

Most people don't know Wikipedia's run by a non-profit. Please consider sharing this e-mail with a few of your friends to encourage them to donate too. And if you're interested, you should try adding some new information to Wikipedia. If you see a typo or other small mistake, please fix it, and if you find something missing, please add it. There are resources that can help you get started. Don't worry about making a mistake: that's normal when people first start editing and if it happens, other Wikipedians will be happy to fix it for you.

I appreciate your trust in us, and I promise you we'll use your money well.

Thanks,
Sue

GODS MUST BE REALLY CRAZY

Today I thought would be like another regular day kids come and try to listen, fight, argue and finally leave.  It started off like any other day with Shafi running from my class to Karuna's (my co-fellow) class which is quite normal these days. Due to these namesake unit tests whole school and particularly our side of the first floor is in a mess. So conducting classes along with controlling the noise inside and outside the class is a big herculean task.  I have to take the task of AAYIMA also by cleaning the food of Sofia that fell on the floor. With all these Afshan ate some weird cone ice in the lunch and puked on Sofia's bench. Then after sometime in the Hindi class Qamar with his sharp nails has made marks on Sahil's face, marks of blood. While trying to figure it out suddenly Mohsin's nose starts bleeding.

I called up Qamar's father, he seemed  ok. I called  sahil's mother he starts saying that is Qamar mad or what? I know Qamar is somewhat different from others but I am working and making progress with him to make him not feel abnormal in the class. Now someone saying that is really heart breaking to me..

Random Thoughts

So many thoughts come and go like a flash in my mind. These are nothing different from sperms which come in huge numbers and if one strikes the chord new life starts. Both are equally powerfull. Wish I could remember or write all the thoughts. Trying to remember something that we just forgot is nothing different from undergoing a dental surgery. It is so scary and the thought itself is very irritating. It would have been much easier if someone stored all our thougjts and memory just like storing potions im Harry Potter.

Exams in school

When I was a kids term exams are always exiciting. I never believed in myself much so after 1 day I use tp tie up with my benchmate from senior class and made a deal to help me with the objective questions. I dont remember well whether those dealings are successful or not. Back then I was more worried about my rank in the class.

Now I am being in the exam hall as invigilator complete new role from what I experienced previously. NO Copying and No Talking
