Frivolous Fixations

Reminiscing about my time in Hyderabad when I started working for Infosys and had to live in a PG. Our group comprised of 4 girls in the same flat, with 2 girls in the adjoining flat. Two girls from Delhi, One from Faridabad, One from Mumbai, One from Kerala and me from UP.  The language we spoke with each other was pure 'hindustani'. One would say 'Oye', other would say 'Tu kar le', one saying, 'Code mein locha hogaya',  me saying 'Uljhan ho rahi hai' and our innocent Malyali friend trying to grasp the 'core' of the whole conversation. But we always understood each other. Sharing the same cupboard with my room mate, where left side her 'Krishan ji moorti' and prayer book was placed. Right side my 'Jaanamaz' and Quran were placed. Me and my room mate coming from office at the same time, she did her Pooja and I read namaz in the same room, at the same time. But we always had the space we needed. Any of the other frie...

 The year is gone and its  place taken by a new, 2021 was painful yet  found friendships few, Gems like Sunil who  Stand beside like a rock Deep the waters and yet His trust keeps you at dock Timir with his antics   Keeping you happy in life He likes to fool around But supports in every strife Dolsee with her laughter She can melt the heart Her optimisim, her smile Cheers you from the start Kanishk with his silence With a demeanor so calm Gives you confidence to  Move forward in any storm Not ever year you can  Start with a bang, Not always do you  Find an Excellent Gang!!!

  Scientists dream about doing things…Engineers do them . I am a BSc in mathematics but possess an MCA degree. Hence, I can’t tell you about how I chose Engineering, but I can tell you how the world of IT chose me. Learning in school can be boring, interesting or liberating depending upon how good your teachers are. I always felt mathematics was the most difficult subject in the world. Until I got Math lessons from a Teacher in 9 th grade who was so good; he remembered not just the lesson he had to teach each day, but also the page and line number of the book on which it was printed. As high school ended, I knew if I wanted to go into Science stream, I had to pick math as a subject, deeply inspired by his teaching. Of course, MCA was terrifying and extremely difficult without an engineering degree, but all through it, my mother encouraged me that if I have enrolled for it, I can get through it with flying colors. Being from a small town, the ambition was to get selected in...

 Sardar ka Grandson Release Date: 18 May 2021 Length: 141 minutes (or eternity) Cast: Neena Gupta ( The star performer ) Rating: 2/5 Sometimes a beautiful concept gets drowned out in covering all commercial aspects of a movie. This is what happened to Sardar ka Grandson. The movie directed by Kaashvi Nair, written by  Anuja Chauhan and Kaashvi Nair, could have been so much better if there was rigorous editing and a tighter screenplay. The cinematography by Mahendra J Shetty is very much up to the mark, especially in the pre-Independence scenes. Neena Gupta in her role of 'Sardar' is a treat to watch. Though couldn't say the same for her makeup which seems that it would fall off any minute. Kanwaljit and Soni Razdaan are well casted. Aditi Rao hydari is adorable in her cameo and John Abraham looks great. The camera shots bringing past and present together are beautiful and yet the movie doesn't work for you. First reason, is the length of the movie. The slow build up of ...

 This year restricted us in ways  we never would have thought, It gave a time to think, to pause To many it bought sadness a lot There were times we were blessed, Realizing we had food on table, A place to sleep, to hope, to rest Someone to love, and health stable. With all seen and done till now As we all move ahead in unison Remember the good and the bad, But don't ever forget the Lessons. Happy New Year everyone😇 - Thought By Me

So My Mom got small plants of 'Gulmoher' home. People told her, it won't be of much use since Gulmoher flowers never grow in vases. She heard them, but she didn't lose her enthusiasm. She got the soil changed, trimmed the stems,    nurtured them and cared for them for months. One fine day, Flowers of Gulmoher bloomed in those vases. Nurturing to achieve Excellence is my Mom's Core Skill. She made an engineer, a journalist and a wild life researcher out of 3 mediocre girls for whom she was told very much the same things. But she Knows... Love, Care and Faith can achieve Miracles.
