Recently I was watching something about generation gap…… And after that I figured out few traits emblematic to this generation …….
Ours is a Fast generation with cell phones, internet and all sort of technological boons. Things which were next to impossible few years ago are part of our day to day life. All these things has definately made things simpler & made this world to shrink.
As far as Indian youngsters are concerned many things have changed for them in last decade………..
Typical heavy Indian Paranthas & Sabzi are now replaced by Pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, cold drinks, Pasta, Maggi…..‘Bas do minute’ that’s what our mantra is... we have adopted the so called "Pepsi Culture"…. And Like Fast foods life has become so fast….. We are the fast talkers, fast texters, selective listeners, less tolerant, more aggressive, fast movers…...(Literally also).
We have become ‘Surfilicious’ with new things to get addicted with….these addiction includes Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, Blogging, You tube……Email is by far an old thing now. All these things are also useful for creating our so called ‘Social network’ ;)
My version of this Pepsi Culture may seem bit funny but I guess these small things are related to our generation and we can definitely associate ourselves with these. So, be proud of this 'Pepsi Culture' ;)

London Trip
Before the excitement of a memorable place dies away in my mind; I decided to write something about my first visit, to London here and create some space in my hard drive.
I had seen London so many times thanks to Yash Raj and Karan Johar… they made Europe so closed to every Indian by showing every nook and corner of these places in their movies. But this was really REAL. And it was hundred times beautiful then any movie I have ever seen. It’s a wonderful feeling no doubt. I guess reality can only fascinating if it is dreamy. I am in that dream so far.
First of all, I can’t believe I was there. It’s like being fascinated with a certain idea, but not giving a thought that the idea could be reality some day. Now, that it was reality (I pinched myself and have confirmed this), it seems all surreal. That big bridge over that huge Thames River, those huge buildings of all shapes and sizes…from that small window on my flight….that was the only scene visible to me… I was so excited about the whole idea of visiting London.
But before I could enjoy this wonderful city… Destiny had few surprises for me. I LOST MY LUGGAGE… everything money, cloths, food, camera…. I lost it all in this absolutely new & strange city. And I was in complete shock… this can’t happen to me… Why me??? Were the questions all around me…. Excitement, enthusiasm, happiness, eagerness…. All has suddenly changed into……Complains, sadness, tears, confusion….
But elegance and beauty of this city didn’t allow me to stay in that status for long time…. And I just forgot everything about that bad incidence…….
Walking in the streets of London was a joy. It’s a relief, in a way, that you stop existing and everything outside of you takes your attention. It’s like being a part of the play and a spectator at the same time. Yes, and it would definitely help if your shoes are comfortable too…. Since I lost everything but my snickers… which were so comfortable that I loved those long long walks.
All the buildings look colonial. In the evening with the dim lightings, the buildings look grander. I don’t know whether it is to match the architectural beauty or not, but if you are not looking at the buildings you can look at people around and boys in particular… lol. I guess it could also be the other way round. The buildings have a certain disadvantage with the folk of London around. When you pass by the buildings you don’t smell lovely perfumes.
Talking of spirits, that’s one thing that you would not fall short of. Beer is available in plenty in even the ‘General Stores’. People with me prefer beer over water and I pity on myself…. Poor me, is still searching for that plain… tasteless… colorless Water.
It’s hard to walk for five minutes without having seen a pub. The pubs are peculiar in one respect though. They will have fancy Menu Cards being displayed on their windows boasting about their food varieties. But, the kitchen closes at 5 in the evening. I guess, people have their dinner during the lunch time.
Hmm ... Food. Well, I would say, what’s the point of being in such a lovely place if you have to die of hunger? It’s impossible to survive on the English food. Well, you could survive actually, just that you would need to add a lot of ketchup to it. The food is cold and bland. But it has certain advantages which are quite evident. Having such qualities that I have mentioned, English don’t eat a lot. Since they don’t eat a lot, they don’t become sloppy, it does wonder to their work efficiency. Since the meals are not elaborate, they could be had while doing your work. But actually, I don’t mind the English Breakfasts and their salads….. n butter. But after that for lunch and dinner Subway was my only option. Thank God they were there otherwise I don’t know how I would have survived.
Transportation is something that the English should be proud of. Be it bus (the red Hiphops for tourists) or train transport, a literate man could read his way through to any part of London. Travelling in a tube is also an experience. I am sure, if I was to ask each and every person in the tube, their country of origin, I would get more than 5 distinct answers. The instructions and directions have put in place assuming that it’s your first day in London. Tube stations also offer another important facet. People playing music for money. They don’t seem like beggars at all. I could not help but stand in awe at the music they played. It’s not just the normal guitar but the electric guitar with set of speakers.
London Eye, Museums (having things from all over the world including famous Khoinoor replica, Natraj statue, Mummies from Egypt and lot more), Bridges with unique functionalities, Madam Tussaud statues, Beautiful churches, Wonderful gardens…. Those maple leaves (I still have them in my diary)…. All just perfect.
I saw all these when we were lost in that big city…. only three of us....With map in our hand (it was not great help as I have to rely on my judgement only as other two were bad with Maps & directions)….. so collectively we decided to explore the entire city and use this opportunity of being lost. We just followed our conscious and yes map of course.
The weather being so nice, walking being so comfortable, the landscape so beautiful and the convenience thought of at each and every point … the mind remains clear. It’s simple, when you are outside walking on the road, and you don’t see any poverty, any traffic or any kind of pollution, the mind remains at rest. You don’t carry any of it home where things are as comfortable: - Carpeted houses with heaters, Windows that don’t make noises when the wind blows, not a gap where the cold from the outside leaks inside. In such circumstances, when your physical self is at rest, the only problems that would bother you are the ones that you have created for yourself. But it may be quite to the extent where you might start feeling lonely.
Well, tried to note everything that came to mind down here, but one part remains. The people of London. Unfortunately, the only interaction that I have had is asking people for directions, where they have been very polite. Or talking to the Hotel receptionist where she has been very helpful. As for now, they seem to be a witty lot who would keep a certain distance always.
There are certain interesting facts that I have noted so far.
People here don’t drink water. There are no beggars on the streets. People with vehicles don’t honk without any reason. People come to office with foldable cycles. Girls like to get pierced on all sorts of places on the face. There were more girls than guys in a tube compartment. At least, I didn’t like that. People walk fast with no reason at all. There are no stray dogs. You get free newspapers which come with single headlines of somebody being stabbed or getting drunk. The cost of repair may exceed the cost of the equipment itself. It rains any time. They don’t frisk bags while coming or going out of offices. Showrooms don’t keep your luggage bags as you do shopping. Eat fish n chips, and you know chips taste better than the fish. You realize you are not born here. You forget that not less 65 years ago, these guys were still ruling your country.
All said and done, I think it’s hard not to appreciate the fact that it’s a wonderful city that these guys have built and right now I am just happy of having got the chance to come here.
And Like most of Hindi movies I got my luggage bag which I can never expect in India…. And with all cash in hand I did some shopping……and purchased lots of chocolates for everyone. It was indeed a great experience.
Luv, Jyoti

The Pilgrimage
I started reading Paulo Caulo’s books few months ago after recommendation by a friend. First book that I started with was ‘Brida’ and it has left a great impact on me and in two days I finished and read it again & again… It was simply ultimate…. A master piece.
‘Brida’ forced me to read all books of the author each an ultimate gift in itself. I finished Pilgrimage few hours ago and it had, like ‘The Alchemist’, ‘The Valkyrines’ ,‘Veronica decides to die’……. left a very profound effect on my spiritual life.
I connected with experiences written in the book... its exercises…shadow approach for decision making… the fear of failure….the cruelty exercise....the legion…the messenger... the omens. My favorite ‘The Burial exercise’ was really breathtaking…. I felt Goosebumps because of the amazing experience, the description of the scene was simply awesome. Though sword and magic were secondary things for people like me. But the entire journey of ‘The Road of Santigo’ by ‘the common man’ had lots of teaching to offer.
It’s a great feeling to experience teaching with imagination…. It feels amazing when a book reveals its secrets in front of you as if things are just happening right there. I imagine myself singing, getting into trance & walking the path to discover my sword. When I read ‘The Pilgrimage’ it filled me with the feeling of joy, consciousness, courage and hopes to follow my heart.
I feel incredibly enriched and renewed after each read. It stirs my soul and my mind up. It’s indeed a source of inspiration and illumination. Really lovely.
Just want to say thanks to author for this encouraging, outstanding, enriching experience... of 'The Pilgrimage'... like The Pilgrim!
Inspired :)

Legion
Legion, a sea…of People....which is present in every nook and corner. And 'the One thing' which I know I can never understand… I am really a dumb when it comes to dealing with people… they sometimes seems to be so complicated.
I am not perfect - I have my faults - one of my faults is not being able to tolerate others faults. But today I am just wondering how many chances you need to give to someone until they notice they are doing something wrong?
Some of them are so good with words that they can make you believe anything...however what matters are their actions. That's what bother me.... Neither the word nor the action seems to compliment each other & I become clueless in front of them.
Some people would not remember the times they've been far from perfect, before they are so quick to criticize others for their faults. Why the hell they don’t see their faults….. And if they say so for the sake of being honest to everyone except to themselves ….. Then I guess they should know that, if people were as brutally honest as mirrors and scales, none of us would have any friends.
And there are some totally opposite, they appears to be very sweet n friendly as if they are the biggest well wisher one can ever have. It makes me think that, how have some people got the nerve to be so nice to your face knowing they have done you so very wrong? That’s the Face off which I just can’t tolerate.
But then all these are the traits of people everywhere….. You can’t ignore all this… you have to face it whether you like it or not.... As for all negatives there is always a positive so search for the positivety!
It's up to you to make a choice.....
Should you find yourself a victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities remember things could be worse ~ You could be one of them!
OR........ Keep smiling- Sometimes the people you are smiling at don't return the gesture, they are the ones who need a smile the most. So smile because you can't please all of the people all of the time... so Fuck Them All and please yourself!!!
Positivity is key, live it, love it, embrace it!
“Jealousy is tacky. Instead, admire another's beauty & let it inspire you because tearing them down will only show others just how ugly you really are."
Peace & Luv

With Smiles :) :)
College Life has been a real challenge for me. Not the studies, but people. People I lived with, ate with, enjoyed for these years have been mysterious to me sometimes. The way they would act at situations, which I would completely get crazy at…are most surprising. And so is vice-verse. I've met people with brains, a lot of brains. So much of that thinking liquid in their skull, enough to flood a village full of happiness…. And people for whom even a simple plus minus calculation seems to be the toughest job of there life…. Extremes.
People would think what other may think of them. And then each step is preplanned, as if they aren't living, they are fighting. Don't know what they fought for, but it was sure enough that I was becoming one of them. Leastwise I could understand what's going on! Sometimes even I got caught between fights of my own friends.
And in all this I found someone, who wasn't corrupt yet. No mind games. Just heart…. Do what ever you feel has been the mantra. I'm talking about a kid who stays with in me; yeah she surely is…..
It's not everybody's cup of tea to let loose them even if they aren't drunk! Big thing! But one thing she's always sure of is that she's not sure of anything. Clueless!!! I mean how can someone be so cool and confusing at the same time? You should see her work when she's thought of doing it. Perfect.
Adding to this she's an actor, a dance, a painter, an extravagant, a fun loving kid celebrating magical festive season called life… a truly innocent soul away from all gimmicks of this earth…
Time changed!! The outside world has corrupted her…. my sweet little angle… She has started thinking, saving, and stop having fun, clean fun that those years gave her. What has not changed yet are those eyes they are still the truth, they still has that child like eagerness to explore things. But don't know for how long…. People around her are forcing her to change every moment. Any ways She is still the angel with little thinking brain now :)
Look I almost forgot the idea with which I started this post…
Anyways day before yesterday when I was going to office I saw these two college girls they were standing near the road and doing some gossips…. Giggling... and I felt that they have this golden period when they can enjoy there life to fullest & today when I passed from the same route I saw these two girls fighting…. And I felt so bad because even I had a big fight with one of my friend and after that we lost touch…. Though things got better and we met almost after 3-4 years… but we really regretted that fight for some stupid thing. I wish these two girls also resolve their differences soon as friends are very special one can't afford to loose them…. Really waiting for tomorrow when I can see them again…. But this time with smiles on their faces!!

Wonderful World :o)
I m smiling, singing ♥ ♥ and feeling like sitting on a rainbow and the sun is shining on me. And I think to myself: what a wonderful woooooorld :o).
It’s not because of any reason… it’s just that… I'm a believer in chasing rainbows, because the biggest accomplishments always start as impossible dreams.
And am planning for something similar these days…. Just that final touch is left. As we say for life, that “Life is like a rose bush, you have to cut of the dead parts that hold you back so you can blossom.” So, I am also cutting few of these for me to blossom once again. And while doing this Life seems to be a treat for me.
One thing which I learned in past few days which I feel worth sharing out here is that, “Happiness is not about getting what we want....it's about appreciating what we have” and I m finally appreciating mine… & it’s such a nice feeling.It's indeed a Wonderful World :o)

Emotions...
Emotions & Memories sometimes plays a very confusing game… they makes you laugh, When you remember the time you cried together….. But makes you cry when you remember the time you laughed together!!!
When the heart takes over the mind. When a rush of emotion penetrates the being. When warmth pass through the flush on our skin. But still you feel that snowstorm of morning cold. When dew shaped invisible sea begin to grow under the eyes & reach to suffocate the throat. When the hair tingles upon the arms and wrists. When a strange feeling appears in stomach as if someone is churning it. When words fail to form…….Then can we safely say that we have been overtaken by emotion!!
Failure, negativity, obtuse comment, wrongful accusation, suffering physicality, mental and real, anger, annoyance and distress, frustration and anxiety and all possible manifestations of disruption, irritation and dislike, all pale in this uncontrollable feel of emotion!!!
I am still not able to understand this mysterious feeling called EMOTIONS... even though it happens with me very often :)

My new treasure ;)
As I mentioned earlier in my blog that I wanted to buy a camera for myself to cherish my dreams of doing photography… however it never happened. :))
Guess what, Finally I bought one after trying for almost a year or I guess two …It was not a planned effort, coz whenever I planned, it never happened… So this time I just went, I saw & I conquered.
This final triumph was of my heart above my over judgmental mind!!!
I was very excited about this new treasure of mine….. Photo session as expected…. happened and result of the same can be trailed on facebook on the very same day. ;)
But I was not happy I wanted something more, some thing really nice, which could make me more cheerful. I thought of going somewhere & capture some nice snaps… but where? A near by historical place, beach, forest… totally confused.
And I decided to stay at home…….. That’s when I looked outside and saw this marvelous creation in the Garden of Eden just in front of my eyes. Yes I got my first model it’s none other then Mother Nature, at its best.
Every thing around me was just too perfect to capture in this tiny camera with amateur hands of mine… nevertheless I tried my best & took some pictures as a foretaste of nature…..these may seem totally useless for others but, they has this special place in my heart & in my blog as well.
I guess its nothing wrong in saying that, Best things in the life are for free… and so was my experience with this wonderful nature around me.
Furthermore, now days I am taking so many pictures & I m just loving this new hobby which my new treasure has inculcated in me.
Guess what, Finally I bought one after trying for almost a year or I guess two …It was not a planned effort, coz whenever I planned, it never happened… So this time I just went, I saw & I conquered.
This final triumph was of my heart above my over judgmental mind!!!

Plants doesn't grow because they has an answer for Sun,
They grow because they have life.
Seasons doesn't change because they has an answer for others,
They change because that is the reality!!
Clouds doesn't rain because it has an answer for summers,
It rains because it has water.
A bird doesn't sings because it has an answer for nature,
It sings because it has a song!!
Dancers doesn't dance because they has an answer for the world,
They dance because they have passion.
I don't write because I have an answer for all this,
I write because I have Obsession!!
Poet: Jyoti......... lol

Master Blaster!!!
Was watching Match today India vs. Australia, result was certainly disappointing as India Lost by just 3 runs... :(( but after dam good chase…. Of 350 Runs and defeat by only 3 runs… it was just amazing. It was really good Cricket.
But the main attraction of the match was Sachin… one of the greatest batsmen in the history of cricket, crossed the 17,000 milestone during his 435th game…..Master Blaster is highest scorer in both one day & test cricket as of now.
Superb shots by Mr. Perfect have kept every one glued up in front of idiot box. That was the moment when I felt that Cricket is still a religion here in my India.
These days though I don't watch too much cricket, because of various reasons. But it was not the case earlier, I have grown up watching Sachin playing cricket, for me he is another name of cricket. Bunking lectures in college just to watch India playing and Sachin's batting in particular. Those fantabulous sixes and amazing fours, that passion for cricket, this little man is indeed a great creation of God.
And as far as Cricket is concern, in real terms he is the God for cricket. I just can't imagine Indian team without him.
It was one of the amazing games and certainly one of the best innings ever from Sachin. He has once again conquered all hearts. Mr. Man of the match of many games is in real sense is "THE MAN OF THE CRICKET"…. I wish his innings in Cricket never ends!!
Kudos to Mr. Little Master Blaster!!!

Winter has arrived!
My blanket is more contented these days…. Showing attitude to me. Those shorts of mine on the other hand have a feeling of negligence. Fans & AC's are bit relaxed like my mom after seeing that electricity bill. Gardens are greener…. Flowers started blooming and I for a change am happy to take that long long walk by road side without covering my face with that two three coats of suns cream….. Hurray!!! Winter has arrived!
Time for those woolen clothes, those overcoats… those chilled nights, long sleeps, small days, good fruits, lots of masti without caring for those suntans… those sticky cold creams, Lovely flowers, beautiful mornings, fires….. And yes as Bangalore's weather has a complimentary offer of rain with winter so an additional colorful umbrella, morning tea in that cozy room with 'Rajai' on.……… Yes, Winter has arrived!
And Yes, "I am on a sneezing spree"……. Another sign that winters has arrived!!!
Me again :D

CrossRoads
At the crossroads of my life
past forgotten,
I stand with a heavy heart
future so uncertain!
As the glow in my eyes
fades away,
I wonder if the dreams are gone
or are here to stay!
I follow my heart like a gypsy
to the pole star ,
The world mocks at me
my happiness mars!
My spirit struggles
to be set free,
All the while screaming
let me be me!
And then someone
comes along,
Bringing music
like a long forgotten song!
A melody I've never
heard before,
As I sing along and then
together in encore!
Where did I find the words
that I say?
Why do the stars twinkle in the day?
Then the stranger comes
along the way,
Whispering in the wind
now that I came.
I am here to stay !!!
My eyes see the world anew,
I promise,
to give my life to you!!!!
