Today was one of the most beautiful Sunday's in recent times.Breakfast-morning paper - movie on laptop-swimming and to top it up dinner at a Bengali restaurant.
I just dont want this night to pass.I hope it freezes and the sun never gets up tomorrow for this moment seems to be so perfect.

Under your wear
I was shopping today at a Hanes outlet near my PG for swimming costumes and I was amazed at the sheer collection of men's and women's undergarments available at one's disposal.
The designs,the styles ,the cut and to the extent of fabric being used has gone through a tremendous amount of change in the past fifteen years.I wonder if any B school has come out with a case study documenting such changes and about the brands in the current market.
I feel such changes reflect a change in attitude towards one's sexuality by the Indian consumer.A change in mindset about how they should feel inside to look good outside.
Hope such changes percolate deep further into the lower levels of the society - something which we Indians drastically need to improve upon.

Indian Political League 2009
Somehow this time's election does not look like an election at all.The sounds and sights are yet to be seen and felt.
It all looks to be a hung parliament with a coalition government. The BJP looks to be shooting in its foot with infighting and the Congress finding itself getting lost with its regional allies - first with NCP in Maharashtra and then RJD in Bihar. UP was always a lost state from 1979. The Third Front claims to have its own base but then again its loaded with regional stalwarts who have their egos as big as their regions they are in control of.
So whom does the Indian electorate vote for ? Not many good choices eh ?
Personally ,post elections I would want for a single party government at the helm atleast that way there would be no dilly dallying to make strong decisions. And yes of course some creative thinking in campaigning and the issues on which the elections are fought .
Next blog would be on what changes I would want in the Indian Political League

Eating with chopsticks
Last night dinner was with chopsticks at a Chinese restaurant.The impulse to do something out of the routine was so compelling.It was clumsy initially but it was good fun.
I guess this is what life is all about - doing things not done before and and enjoying those moments .

The failed state of Pakistan
I cant help but comment on this topic. Have u ever thot why Pakistan has become the way it is today ,despite having achieved Independence along with India.
Come what may we Indians religiously go to the polls every five years ( how muchever Godhra type events happen , we go ) .We have some how stuck to the Constitution that the founding fathers had envisoned .But look at Pakistan - tumultous history and not a wink of peaceful sleep for its citizens ............. what went wrong ?

Big question in my mind - discussion with friend
There ocurred a big question in my mind which ended up in a big discussion with one of my friends ..
The point here was why does life end up chasing ideals ,of chasing aspirations and the struggle to achieve them.One tends to move on from one desire to another and the ensuing struggle for that.
I am sure we are meant to do something in our life rather than this "pursuit of happyness" thing
How do we get to the answers? They do say that life is all meant to be a struggle and there is no meaning to it without the struggle - but then why are we falling into the trap in the first place ? To learn what ? And for what higher purpose ?
