Tigers, Trees etc.

Last week I went for waynad trip. A small city in north Kerala. On they way while passing Bandipur we saw a Leopard just 100 mts away from us. Soon it has disappeared in the jungle. But the excitement everybody has shown just by getting a glimpse of it was awesome. I too was overwhelmed by getting a 5 seconds view of big-cat. Then I thought of several other animals which have disappeared over the time. These big-cats are on the verge of the same situation. Soon the generation to come will see the these great creatures in text-book or hear a story about them from there grand-parents. There is no rocket science involved in understanding that if we do not protect them now or keep killing them the time is not far when big-cats will be the thing of past, irreversible past.

As soon as we crossed the Kerala border, the first thing we noticed the greenary spread all over. In waynad trees are everywhere. We enjoyed a greenery, the cool temperature there. As it was a long weekend several people (in thousands) from Bangalore and other places were in Waynad to escape the heat in Bangalore. Everybody was enjoying but how many of us have ever given a thought to plant a tree so that we do not need to run away to beat the heat. As temperature of the earth is increasing everyday, ozone layer is shrinking, water level decreasing we all should take a oath to plant two trees in the name of each children we have. Time has gone when a tree for a child was sufficient. Now we are living in more dangerous situation, the time has come to plant as many trees as we can. Otherwise the time is not so far when even Waynad people will have to go somewhere else on the weekends to beat the heat too.

Are We Laughing Enough?

Yesterday I was talking to my mother on phone and suddenly she asked where your smile have gone? she said, "You are not laughing enough these days, at least while taking over the phone".

When I gave a sincere though about it, I felt that the number of times we laugh in a day has been drastically reduced.

When we had no money in college, we used to laugh.
When we used to travel in general class, we used to laugh.
While sharing a single samosa and coke we used to laugh.
We used to laugh even we got less marks in exams.
Even the girl friend who ditched could not stop us to laugh.

But now money is there, we travel in planes or in AC compartments, getting free coke in offices, need not to prepare for any exams but still the smile from our faces have reduced not if gone.

No HOLI+DAY on HOLI

What the f**k. I can not use any other word to show my frustration. There is no HOLIday on HOLI. I am getting call from my friends and relatives from north India and they are reminding me of Holi today. What a pity situation I am in.

My cousin was shocked when she come to know that there is no HOLIday on Holi. She thought that I am living in another world. For her it a first time experience of this f**k.

In school we read that HOLI is one the biggest festival of Hindus. They did not mention that it is only true for north Indian Hindus only. What the f**K. Even Hinduism is having various definition based on location we are in. There is a huge gap in what we read in books and in reality.

Anyways, on this day I am in front of my laptop in office and looking at a piece of s**t, which we called as code in professional language. In reality I am a f**king software engineer, working in one of the big buildings in Bangalore and just wishing friends and family over phone and gaining sympathy of not having a HOLIday on HOLI.

Anyways wish you all a very happy and colourful Holi this year and every year.

Life is a Journey not Destiny

So, keep going and do not stop.
Bring all your enthusiasm
