Take up the cudgels to stand by your rights!

There's always a debacle over the right vs wrong in Indian constituency. This time it all started with the arrest of 2 girls for crticising Maharashtra bandh on demise of Bala Saheb Thackeray. We say that we are the only democratic country in this world. But where does the democracy lies... If one doesn't has the right to express his or her views ?  And punishing someone over expression of thoughts is it right? This has not been seen for the first time in India. Few months ago  Kolkata's professor Ambikesh Mahapatra was also put behind bars for hurting Bengal's Mamata Didi's emotions by forwarding her cartoon through e-mail.  At times I wonder if expression of thought is such a crime then we should have hanged all those corrupt netas of our country whose mindsets never match with the mango people of this society as the 'aam aadmi' hardly ever agrees with their thoughts. If these so called 'netas' can have the  right to put innocent behind bars...

Hospitality in foreign land!

I have stayed at few places outside my den in India too but I agree have never seen so much generosity in hoteliers ever.

No doubt that India is a land of diversity with so many cultures engraved in its attire, but still when we talk about the good etiquette, its western countries that are running way ahead than us.

Entry into a sabbatical life!

Walking down the broad lanes of Hatfield in UK and inhaling the fresh air in an European land made me realise...how life has changed at such a fast pace. It seems it was only yesterday when I was sitting in my office thinking of craziest headlines for stories. But for now I have entered a new phase of life, where I am enjoying my sabbatical. All of a sudden I have wore an attire of a 'married woman' who is for the time being not working anywhere. I know many of you who are close to me will not be able to digest that how come a career oriented person can sit without job. Somehow this was the only reason that I didn't want to get married for another two years..as i knew marriage will definitely bring a halt in my career. But I guess god has some other plan stored for me. This life is no doubt different from what I have lived till now.  Getting up in morning was never so beautiful as it is now. Opening your eyes to a new day in the arms of a man who makes you feel ...
