Feel Alive

4 months since my last blog, I so missed it. But was too overwhelmed to write anything. Do you ask why?  Flashback flashback flashback !!! I'm raised in a family where I have interacted only with humans. That doesn't mean we looked down on other species. Just that we did not love them enough to make them member of house. Only animal that I had probably touched and adored would be Cat. They seem easy to be overpowered, thus harmless. Yeah I have got some good survival instincts! Then I grew up, keeping safe distance from non-Human species on earth. Even safer distance from Dogs after my brother got bitten by a crazy dog. You know, biting is still manageable, but injections... I will rather take longer route. And the day came, when it happened. I still don't believe how, so let's pass on the blame to Destiny. I  brought home a pet Dog. Yes, i t does all crazy stuff. 1 month female Doberman. She (for me it's she, not it) was on my lap, lic

And I turn 30 this month… Well, sounds sad?!!? Oh, yeah! Honestly, just another birthday, but for other's sake one should react. Still, this one is special. A journey of 3 decades (1/3 rd   of my lifespan, I know I will live longer), of exploring me and around, life is less stupid and more thoughtful. In introspection, I see it blessing to be born to Parents who were not gender-biased. It feels more fortunate after witnessing  Female foeticide . Then my useless Siblings are pain and fun. We just belong to each other. Now this one is interesting. I consider myself half lawyer calculated from 1/4 th   by birth and 1/4 th   by working as my Dad’s sort-of-assistant while in school. Yeah!!! Feel free to get in touch.  Few silver linings always excited to stand out in black foliage to make it easy guessing my age. I read that you make habits for the first 30 years of life and next 30 they make you.   As this making begins, I curiously await to see what unfolds. As

With my last blog out, my brain got breather to talk about other stuff. Amidst all the Nestle Maggi controversy and recall, I'm wondering what will it be like without Maggi. It is awfully horrible to imagine those empty sections of D'mart, Big Bazaar, Hypercity which had overflowing Maggi noodle packets. It is giving me nostalgia when I had my first acquaintance with Maggi. It was the rarest food and tasted sinfully awesome. Even Sunday special brunch would be just a week away. I thank god, it is all happening after my sister completed her Engineering. My Mom used to bring lots of Maggi packets so that my sister doesn't stay hungry while studying. And I'm so very sure that she would stay up just to eat Maggi. I must say Maggi has good share of contribution to her scores. I have survived on Maggi for most of my dinners for almost 6 months in US, just to realize I need to start cooking. (Cooking part is completely to ignore) Same would be story of so so

It's been a while and finally this is getting out of my head.  J I borrow this title from  'S teve Jobs' by  Walter Isaacson , because M anipulation sounded RUDE  L  and I have already been sitting over this topic for months. It is making me restless. Once my brother told me that as we grow up, we lose our innocence and start manipulating people to believe in our own ideals. I have been thinking over this for quite sometime. Does it come with age or this is our natural instinct? In our eco-system, many animals play dead or  camouflage  etc. (Zoology doesn't like me  L ). They are manipulating others to believe in their fake identity. I don't think they ever take classes for it. It comes naturally to them as part of their survival instinct. After all we as well are social animals. Although our survival needs are different, but instinct is probably same. Talk about innocence in Kids . Ummm?!!? They know how to get that toy/chocolate o

World Cup’15 is over and we are not winners  L  L  L One and probably only thing that unites Indians (at least till current generations) over Religion or any divisive politics, is  Cricket . For 4 long Years, we eagerly wait for World Cup, live the same dream of winning it, pray for Indian Cricket Team, and stay optimistic till very last ball of the Game. And this Thursday we lost semi-finals, when we were not even expecting to get through Qualification round (pessimistically or realistically). So I feel that's good enough that we reached Semi-Finals. Still it hurts when they lose. After all it is our Team and we feel  connected . J Though I'm not any Cricket expert or big Fan, so match results doesn't bother me much after the moment. But there are real fans, who get upset when Team is defeated and overjoyed when it wins. Then, there are some, I don't think they are qualified enough to be called fans, who are fans of only victorious Team. When In
