The Indian Culture

Being part of SPIC MACAY, I had the rare honor of organizing a series of performances for Padma Vibhushan Pt. Birju Maharaj. As a volunteer it also gave me a chance to be in his presence and learn at his feet, not dance but some lessons for life. And as   a volunteer of SPIC MACAY I have had the honor of learning from many other great artistes.  Since I have associated with SPIC MACAY I have been continuously bombarded with the question of the state of our culture. It was always a question of great thought for me too. Why is it that you have to work so hard to make a presence of your own culture in the heart of the youth? They don’t have any knowledge and neither do they want to have any.  After being a part of that age myself, I was not able to find a satisfying answer. But once I sat for Padma Vibhushan Pt. Birju Maharaj’s performance, I realized what all the answer staring at my face. If you observe, the beauty of Indian art is that it is not just some mov...

What is Love?

What is Love, Baby don't hurt me... What is really love, is it something that bad that our elders see it with suspicion, people are often afraid to express it and where they say it happens only once, there seems to be a fashion of falling in love. I have been in it, and I believe I am still in it. A simple statement or just a word does not change anything. Love is a feeling, it is something really beautiful! When your heart starts pounding so hard, that you can feel it beating, loud and clear, whenever you see someone, and your eyes are diving from one end to the other when you are waiting for someone. When your mind pops thousands of situations when you are waiting for someone and the person is late, and when you swear to God to kill anyone who either humiliates or troubles someone. When all these things happen for one person, then that is LOVE! Love is a wonderful feeling, it gives you strength to stay away from your loved one and still stay in love. When it bec...

In Support to Fight Against Corruption

Kisan Baburao Hazare, or as we better know him as "Anna Hazare", has really brought the nation to rise and stand up against an illness we were aware of but didn't do much about. Today the entire nation stands in support of his cause and the bill that he has proposed. All this debate has really forced me to think about the root cause of the problem. Why do we have corruption and where did it all start? I was discussing the same with a very close friend of mine, when I realized that we, the citizens of India, have given birth to this parasite, and now it has made home in our nation. Whenever we need to get some official work done or get some clearance from a government agency, the first thought that comes to our mind is about giving bribe. There would be plenty of people who would have bribed their way to get their driving license and plenty others who would do the same to get other work done. Aren't we directly feeding corruption? If we make a stand and decide ...

That Night!

I don’t know what struck me. I thought I was in senses. But then there was something that made the whole night so blur, and I hadn’t a pint. I wasn’t intoxicated or injected or injured, but then there was something that made the events of the night so messed. I am trying, trying as hard as I can, to think logically, to be wise and not act foolishly. But it’s all in vain. I have had my falls, a lot many of them too. But then there was a jolt that jerked me to stand up. It gave me confidence to think hard and to be who I was. I believe I was confident, could face any challenge and could be who I was! But then there was something in the night that made all that confidence dwindle. I don’t think there was a fault in me, I don’t think there was something awkward, but then there was something in the night that made me doubt my judgment. I am thinking hard, I can’t be such a fool. I try to be reasonable, evaluate every move I made. What was it that was missing? What was it tha...

From A Broken Heart!

What shall I say, it’s a mystery! Whom I thought to be my better half, Turned out to be a burden on me! I was happy earlier, When there was no one to prey. Though there was a hidden longing To meet someone to enrich my day! Then I saw you, And felt the urge to be with you. You were so loving and caring I felt heavenly being near you. What happened suddenly? I can’t remember. I was basking in your love, When you showed me your fury. Things felt apart so quickly There was no glue to stick them together. You left blaming for the runt As I lay there shattered at the loss. Since then I stay in despair Aloof from happiness of yesteryears. Idiotically waiting for someone To embrace and make me whole again.

All About Scorpio Horoscope Sign

With the symbol of the Scorpion, you’re as deadly as you are small and unassuming. As a Scorpio, your self-defense emerges in the form of strong emotional awareness -- you have an innate sense of what you and other people around you are feeling. Scorpio is the only horoscope sign that has three animal totems. The Scorpion has an active tail, but as the Scorpio masters its passion and holds its instincts at bay, it changes into the Eagle, with more perspective, who can fly above the rest and make more conscious decisions. The Eagle then becomes the peaceful dove. Thus, the real meaning of Scorpio is about metamorphosis. Scorpios transform their poisonous passion into a higher consciousness based on universal love. Your motto might be "What is hidden is more interesting than what is obvious." You are the detectives of the zodiac. While your magnetic personality draws others in, you are very secretive -- because you’re so intense, you don’t want to scare off others. You desperat...
