Image
Monday begining of the week...as usual i got up, made breakfast and sent my husband to office and got busy with my household work. Around 11.30, someone knocked the front door and i opened the door without knowing what is awaiting for me... hmmmm there was delivery guy holding a box infront of me. Dont know who sent the box to me, i signed, said thanks to him and came inside. Very curoious wanted to check first who sent it to me and it was none other than my husband.. hmm that was the surpize gift i got from him. Was very happy to check what would be the gift for me.... and can any one guess ???? I myself didnt, It was a " Moon ". Yes a Moon.. was wondering how did he ever got an idea to gift me this and then i remembered few days back, before sleeping i opened windows so that 'moon light' can come inside our room. My husband is very generous and big hearted, instead of moon light, he gifted me the moon itself... very smart ;) This gift will be most memorable to me a

~***~ September 1752 ~***~

Recently one of my forwarded this mail to me which i found pretty interesting and something which all of us should know. hence posting it in my blog ;) I am talking about Time history. In the year 1752, September has something special. If you type cal 9 1752 on any Unix command line to get a calendar of this particular month you’ll get this output: Explanation for what you see: Isn't the output queer? A month with whole of eleven days missing. This was the time England shifted from Roman Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar, and the king of England ordered those 11 days to be wiped off the face of the month of September of 1752. (What couldn't a King do in those days?!) And yes, the workers worked for 11 days less, but got paid for the entire 30 days. And that's how "Paid Leave" was born. Interesting isn't it ??

A Wednesday !!!

On a Monday afternoon i feel like writing about Wednesday. 'A Wednesday' is not 3rd day of the week its the movie name. yes, am talking about writer-director Neeraj Pandey's "A Wednesday". This is one class movie and has a very valid and real message. The film has the power to change how we look at the world. One should watch this movie. We have been watching so many movies all these years and its very easy to predict what will be the next move and in some movies we can even predict the dialogues.. its like putting different masala to the same old stale food!!! But trust me 'A Wednesday' can prove all your predictions wrong. The director has really done a great job and same with the actors. Senior actors anupam kher and Naseeruddin Shah excel in their acting and same with junior actors like Jimmy Shergill and Aamir Bashir. There is no hype, no masala, fights, songs etc etc Just the movie and its message. The climax is ultimate and the conversation betwe

Unity In Diversity

I chose this name to my post because most of us do remember reading this in our text books during school days. This is what our teachers used to preach everyday in school and we did believe that and felt good about our nation. As we grew up and started to understand what is happening around us, its natural to ask ourselves do we really have unity in diversity. Ok friends, by now you might have hinted what am i trying to write here... yes you guessed it right. Its all about the controversy we are hearing in news "Marathi Vs Hindi" ... Is language dividing Indians, instead of uniting us ??? Do we really need this kind of controversies ?? I personally feel what ever statement Mrs.Bachchans made in public might have hurt Marathi people but then she didn't speak in some language which they don't understand like Latin, Arabic or Malayalam. She spoke in 'Hindi' which is considered as our national language. I feel there was no need for Mr.Raj Thackeray to make a big i
