And we lost World Cup'15 !

By
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 Indian Team wins, they treat them like a Prince and when they lose, all hell breaks loose - Pelting stones, abuses, funny messages and what not. K

My sister was very upset other day, saying, “Didi, this is not right. At least they tried. Victory and Defeat are part of the game.” True, isn’t it? Someone has to lose to pave the path of victory for others.

This is how many or the most of us react after every such match and this is how we have been reacting over and over. Is it surprising? Well, frankly no. By nature, sometimes I feel we are a very selfish species. We just can’t handle being-hurt, being-wrong. And, we need someone to blame.

So when we are sure that India will win and it loses, we get hurt and start blaming, either players or selectors or even their spouses. Same is with life. Till you keep performing, they are all praises and once down, you are useless of them all. And then you get up again, they are again your fan.

At the end, such people don’t matter, because for them your performance, your effort doesn’t matter. All that matters to them is crying foul over everything.

Who cares, move on! Dogs will bark, that’s what they are born with. :P

Losing the sense of self to find myself again

By
6 months since my girl is gone and I still dread that night. I don't know if I dread or still can't believe how 2 hours can topple your life equations. I thought it was just the usual summer heat, gave her curd, and water; took her on my lap, making her drink some more water. And suddenly she had hiccups or some shocks, and stool came out. We rushed to the hospital, and I held her. She weighed 17-20 kg. Not a lot compared to my Doberman. While taking her through the elevator, I could feel her getting heavier, and my heart sinking deeper with that weight.  Just so much heaviness, and madness at that moment. I forgot my phone, Akshar picked up my sister's car key. Her husband was coming with us. While we were just leaving, she came running with her 2-year-old, saying the door got closed and Coffee (my Doberman) was inside. And all of us forgot the house keys. We left, while her husband stayed to figure out how to open the door. We were driving to Aundh Crown Hospital, and Aks...

For the love of Coffee

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...

Distorted Reality

By
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 ...
