Life without MY PC

  Life without MY PC

This had been always a nightmare for me... and at last it happened to me in last week.. For past few days I have been leading a PC-less life... Already in my past blogs I had mentioned that I am a Internet,Computer Freak ... I spend most of the times in front of computer only..Television must have been sad for a long time.. In office I sit in front of PC ... do my stuffs and after office hours when I am in home also I do crazypantis with my desktop..... 

But the hell happened in last week when I could see my both hard drives to get damaged one by one and I just could not do anything rather than watching it ...  after that all the hardware related problems started and still is going on.. It is under it's medication though it hasn't gone to hospital but soon it will go... My hard drives were my kids ... had set up and stored such a size of memory which I have lost permanently.... (so always have a back up) which I didn't do for half of the stuffs .... The pain,the sorrow which I am feeling can't be expressed... Writing is such a thing which makes me feel "Yes !!! tell me . I am there with you " type thoughts.... so expressing ...

But I wonder ...while consoling myself was thinking about the early life... my childhood.... or before era.... We are becoming so much dependent on gadgets and electronics that without that particular life is becoming miserable... Just like the emotions which I am feeling now... I am feeling so helpless.. But the time when people didn't have these stuffs used to be cool and self dependent.... I am trying all the possible ways to console me .. as much as possible ...but ultimately ending up with a sad emo on my face.... Anyways Whatever happens,happens for good ..is the last line to console me...

Wanted Fair,Slim,Beautiful and Homely Girl !!!

                                                 Wanted Fair,Slim,Beautiful and homely Girl !!!

Last Sunday while reading newspaper simply started browsing my eyes over matrimony column .. just to have a lil fun .... the strange thing which is hard to believe was common criteria of selecting a bride... In Bride's section maximum I could see was " Wanted Fair,Slim,Beautiful and Homely girl "
.Sometimes the beautiful was coming as " very beautiful " too .. really quite weird for me... In this 21st century if girls are to be judged by her complexion and beauty,really nothing to say .. 

All respected parents of the groom are willing to have "Chand sa roshan chehra" for their son,it doesn't matter how he looks or what does he do... Now India is country where average complexion is "wheatish" .. and this is also known fact to everyone..But at marriage time only Fair beautiful ladies are prioritized. Weird... !!! another misconception among maximum Indians is that beautiful girl must have to be Fair..if dark then she can not be called as beautiful.. What the hell is this ??? What the mentality is ?????? if it is so then better all respected parents go to Western Countries and search for your "nayee navili dulhan" for your "ladla beta".. just kidding... I have seen one of my neighbourial sister's case..she was of dark complexion and was having sharp features and attractive eyes.. she was talented working modern girl..When she met with her boyfriend's mother,she got rejected just because she was dark.. Poor the lady is for having this kind of mentality... and I am sure Guys whoever is reading this blog must be getting reminded by some of the cases like this....

Another important criteria is to have homely nature.. now what is the criteria of being a typical homely girl ?? I guess the girl who is capable to manage home,knows to deal with family and knows to do all home related works and stuffs ... right ??? but does that mean to be shy and too much girly type ??? " sati savitri type " ??? But in shaadi ka market it is so ... 

Really weird .. !!! frankly speaking it's kind of terror for me... I don't know what phase I will be going through when I will participate in this race ??? LOL ....just kidding .. But it's sad to see this kind of situation in this modern era.. where looks and complexion still matters for people ...

Reservation ... Stop it Please

                                          Caste Reservation ... Stop it Please

                                                                            ............. Just expressing my view towards the caste reservation system in India as a democratic citizen.Not to hurt anyone intentionally.

Going to write about one of the most controversial topic of India...about the caste Reservation system..It started from 26th November,1949 ... I mean the constitution was adopted..The constitution text was prepared by Dr.B.R Ambedkar who was the victim of being accused with untouchabilty at that time...For that he made that law of reservation only for SC/ST people .. But that was 1949 ..Scenario was something else.And now its 2012 .. Scenario has changed totally..At that time SC/ST people used to suffer from getting the golden opportunities and now GENERAL candidates do the same.. Caste discrimination .... the inequalities... I just hate it..not only me I guess there are so many people around who are also having the same thoughts and  opinions.

What was the need of Reservation ?? It was to help those people who was helpless,didn't have any strong background and financial support to study,those who were being accused of untouchabiltiy and those who belonged to minority..It was the then time.. But now in India RESERVATION stands for Caste discrimination and it is just the another way to make a rich ....richer.... 

I won't say reservation is bad.Reservation should be their for them who are poor,don't have the financial status to have their food,education not for the " aam aadmi " who are already employed in Govt.Sectors and getting much per annum.Before giving the opportunities Govt should  really check the financial status of any family.Only people under Below Poverty Level should be getting the reservation quota.

                              

                                                 

It's very sad to see that in every field whether it is education,financial,or any kind of career related issues we can see this discrimination...For General it is one kind of rule and for SC/ST/OBC quota it's too different....Any Govt.Competitive Exams  Quota claims to pay only 10% of the actual amount whereas General pays 100% ..cut offs are different from General..definitely much lesser. Special coaching classes for these exams are arranged for free but only for SC/ST quota ...  In schools,colleges the admission quotas are available where their cut off marks use to be very less in compare to General ... Now if this is the system ...Where is Quality ?? What is Merit ?? What is Talent ??? 

India is the only country where talents get ignored due to quotas... For which quality is degrading day by day ... In Govt.Sectors we can see the same.Tradition wise father -> their kids -> and so on are getting jobs easily .. Having minimum percentage in exams but  still getting these much advantages . These are really depressing .. 

One Scenario :

Two persons..One is General,Other SC/ST ..General scored  23 in some Govt exams whereas cutoff was 24 ...could not qualify...But the SC/ST ... got 21 and qualified .. how ?? Cut off was 21 only..

What will you say about this ??? Reservation started before 63 years ago..Then the scenario was something else.Backward and minor communities were really behind than the normal society ... But now ?? this is 2012... in these 63 years SC/ST people are not getting ignored and not getting insulted too ... then Why is INEQUALITY ???? India should bring the equality among all the people..everything should have done in merit and talent basis .. No discrimination ... No partiality..

But really doubtful this case is .. Don't know whether this EQUALITY is going to come or not ??

What's REAL in Reality Shows ??

                                                                               ------   my blog is not meant to hurt someone or not to blame any channel..it's just my own opinion.

I think it was 2001 when in India we started watching the reality shows ..I am not considering KBC as it was kind of game show rather than any talent hunt. Reality show which means everything in show which gets aired on is Real..Definitely people liked it.Till then public was there only to watch as audience..But reality shows are some kinds of shows where public demand matters..It was channel V who launched their first show "Channel V Pop stars" a talent hunt show for forming a band..that's too only for girls.. I was a kid then..The idea concept everything was so attractive and innovative that I started liking and watching it..not only me I guess there are so many among the readers of my blog can still remember the show... that's the way VIVA formed and their album released.. then MTV roadies a different reality show which just blew the mind of  Youths and still now blowing ... no doubt regarding that... And then time by time we could see the shows which started the unique voting system .... Audience poll.. it means we will spend money and give as many votes as per wish for any contestant to win the show.the trend was super duper Hit.Zee Cinema Cine stars was the first show to launch this unique poll system .It was  First cine talent  hunt show.Then the renaissance Indian Idol ...OMG !!! the most popular show in trend the then time. Come on !!! who didn't vote via mobile ?? Few years ago also we could count the numbers of the shows to be seen... NOW ???? is it possible ?? In each and every region,every corner of India in all channels we can see different reality shows,talent hunt shows ... Days are passing by... channel crew members are inventing new ideas too ... and making new shows ...  Talent hunt for singing and dancing was there already.Now cooking , stealing girlfriends,parents ,fighting,breaking ups  and many more are also in list... and we viewers are also watching it,spending our time to see some pre made on screen fights,emotional moments,on screen marriages etc..and yes voting also..

But don't we miss the shows like "TVS Sare-ga-ma-pa","Meri Awaaz Suno","Boogie Woogie" ?? I do miss them so much...Those shows were so innocent,simple and deglamorous ... where no one could see any kind of  business motives .. no show offs... no big hoardings of some participants stating some pre written dialogues... We call these shows as reality shows.. But are they really REAL ??? or just to gain TRPs.... I really don't have idea ..Sometimes I think these all activities as Fake drama.. the fresh talents who are actually winning the shows are just getting lost within the sand of time.. that's very heart breaking. It's true that few people get the famed platform to show their talents which they might not be able to show anyway before...but that too  for sometimes... I guess... how many of you can remember all the winner names ?? I have forgotten most of the names...few can be remembered... it's not that I don' t watch any of the show .. I do watch... but at some point of moment I get them totally Fake.. everything is just so "No-REAL" type...

I don't know readers how did u feel about my post.. you may have got it quite harsh ... Again I am telling it was just my opinion.... no to hurt anyone.. [Apology]..reader's comments are highly welcome... Thank You.. ☺☺☺

A Perfect Shadowy Holiday at Home

I have always imagined a perfect holiday like this which I am going to write about .. It's like one kind of my dream .. it's not like that I haven't got any chance to spend my day like this but still not perfectly .. It's Sunday today.. the day is exactly the same how I imagine it to be like .. Gloomy, Cloudy and Calm Sunday ... Spent the morning beautifully like I always imagine .. don't know about  the rest of the day ... Let me share What I actually imagine about a perfect mushy holiday...

A gloomy,shadowy holiday after long ,busy life ... there is one balcony just in front of my bed room .. From the balcony I can see the scenic beauty of Sea  and can feel the chilled breezy wind coming from the seashore and can listen the sound of the spontaneous waves.. suddenly it starts raining lightly ... the drops which fall into the glasses of the window can feel my face and I just look at them with a blank expression and try to touch them ..a special lazy morning ... only listening to the sounds of nature ..

And then start my morning with hot cup of tea.. first sip of tea and with that listening to few Bengali tracks of Shreya ghoshal's vocal and Anupam roy's music [Shreya's voice is so lyrically beautiful..how calm and smooth someone's vocal can be ?? Whenever I listen to her new modern Bengali slow musics,I feel extremely relaxed and yes Anupam Roy'e music and lyrics are so natural that we the common people can relate it nicely.His tunes have really something different rhythm..sweet melody ]...or few bengali adhunik geet .... slow soft sweet musics ...  ♫ ♫ ♫  love to live like this..

and what about the rest of the day ?? Working for home .... right ?? But yes definitely it should not be so serious and boring one... Why not to try something special ?? Decorating home in an exclusive innovative way and then making some delicious food for my dear ones .. and oh !! yes the music must go on .. Some spicy recipe discovered from Internet and just to give it a try..yummy !! and then to Give a surprise to my family members by decorating the lunch with small sweet message to Ma  and serving it ☺ ☺ Happy Lunch Time☺☺ ..

After heavy lunch on a cloudy day after a long busy schedule definitely it's the time to have a sweet short good noon sleep ....In my imaginary holiday I just can't exclude it ... and after getting up just have to have Garam Chai and Garam Garam Pakode or Samose... Yummy....Holiday at home and not watching movies ?? It is just impossible for me..so if  any small INOX  can be formed in home with loads of movies and  bucket of popcorn,French Fries or Nuggets ..then ?? Just amazingly wow... ☺☺☺ I am a movie freak that too I enjoy movies more in

home rather than watching at theater.. cuddling with pillows,sitting or lying on Bed,having my favorite snacks on my hand and watching a family flick with everyone .. I can't think of any holidays to be spent without excitements  like this...This is just appropriate for me ... and then time to finish dinner and then again one horror flick ... may be alone or may be with my sister...Night time... Raining lightly outside.. Dark atmosphere and one great horror flick .. Just awesome .... ► ► ► 


After this sweet holiday at home it's time to say Good Night ,Sweet Dreams...♥♥ I have always dreamt of a holiday like this .. It's not like I haven't got any kind of day to spend like this.. But yes sometimes it happens and sometimes not .. as I have written in the first part ... the Sea part,which definitely can not be possible all the time as my home is not near to sea LOL ☻  But yes as it's not coming all the time to me,its still an lovely imagination to me... I love to  keep it like this for my lifetime ☺

Jab We Met.... Me with Internet..

                                                          Jab We Met.... Me with Internet

'Internet'....really a miracle to everyone... when I was in class X, I was introduced with Internet for the first time...OMG !!! What actually was that ??? At that time Yahoo had a rage over the nation.. Yahoo mail,Rediff mail and obviously Yahoo Chat Room and Rediff Chat room ..... Oh yes !!! First time went to cyber cafe with friends just to see how does it work actually ?? What actually used to happen in chat rooms ?? Wow..got it so interesting... Which I get bogus now....aghhhhh !!!! Whatever .. everything was so interesting including emails,chats and etc.... But yes now time has totally changed.. Internet means a lot sorry a ton to me..

Without internet I feel so numb.. Not only me I guess everyone like me who daily spends maximum times into it.. I am a download freak... I am so so so much addicted to internet... as the days are passing by I am discovering myself doing every activities on net..Now consider this... I had a very good habit of writing diary..But now for the sake of bloggers I find it damn easier to type rather than writing with pen...It's so easy...if it's internet First comes in mind is to GOOGLE anything and yes FACEBOOK...I know that "Facebook"ing is nothing but kind of wasting time..But  kind of addiction is there ... Before that there was something called ORKUT . as Life is moving forward,including me everyone is just getting into it more more and more .... 

Internet has just made our life so easy...whether getting connected with friends and families,having video chat,calling and blah! blah! blah! blah! .... All the apps are so so much of fun that we can't live without them ...

As I told I am a download freak... If I am in front of net,then just forget to see me sitting idle... You must press CTRL+J and check what's actually going on ??? I have become so  much dependent on Google search Engine.. that for any small queries or doubts I google them..Suppose have to make something delicious for lunch or dinner..Just open few cooking sites and get ready to make that..or anything.... I just love surfing net... whether for news,latest updates and anything..

But I really wonder sometimes that How did the old generation survive at that time ????for applying a job post also people used to carry their Resume along with them and had to rush from here to there...but for Internet everything is so simple and just a click away..whether it's matrimony sites,Job sites,Banking Sites or anything official/un official work ...It's just like you are holding the world into your hand..Really I agree that Internet is fun but it's actually snatching all our own activities away and  making us paralised..In my childhood itself there was no such thing called Facebook or Google or any terms related to internet..but still we used to have lot of fun with friends and family... When I see a kid of IVth standard opening his/her Facebook Account I really get amazed.. and the games which we used to play outside once,can be played inside of computer now..Isn't it making all of us Numb ???
