Imagine being born with out arms and legs. Imagine not being able to walk and play with friends, not being able to touch and hold hands, not being able to wrap arms around someone.
Imagine having to face all the difficulties of growing up with out arms and legs. Tears rolled down my cheek when i saw this video.
I believe that Life is all about taking up challenges, I accept that sometimes we fall through the cracks, we loose a loved one, we face failure, in life, job, marriage and in health. And may be we will loose that very thing which takes up all our attention in life and we do loose our hope of our own life.
Hope and struggle are the path to success in life. We fail only when we give up trying. This video made me realize that what I am facing in life is nothing compared to many other great people around the world. Nick... the person in the video an year younger than me.. born with a abnormality never gave up. He fought all the typical challenges of school and adolescence. He fought with himself for self esteem. Struggled with depression and loneliness.
When Nick can we can.. with that being said.. I leave the thought of the day for us.
We need to think before we give up. Nothing in this world is impossible. Its impossible only when we give up.

Evolution of the Evil Creature
Some times it really makes me happy that there is someway i can publish my thoughts and share my emotions with all my frenz...
Nope this is not about one more sad story that came along my way. But this is a late reaction to the insecurities in world. We humans have been struggling all our life for existence.
From the day we were evolved from our ancestors into our first form the Early Man, we have been struggling really hard for our survival. We were indeed splendid and superior animals reaching about a natural life span of about forty years( I mean they might have lived that long if they died of natural deaths), but in those early days very few animals ever died a natural death; the struggle for existence was altogether too intense.
And now, after almost fifteen thousand years ( approx. six hundred generation) later this creature is still struggling for survival. But this time the danger lurks in the form of none other than the same creature which became terror for the entire world. The name given to this creature is "Terrorism". I know there are lot of blogs which talk about this and ask different questions about it.
But my simple question is: Where is all this going to end. Did we forget the emotions that made us humans, the superior animals on earth. Is this creature so powerful, that it almost transforms humans into something else which is far beyond imagination. A creature so cruel, that the word humanity itself stands in shame.
When are we going to get back to our senses? And when are we going to kill this creature within ourselves? When is the world going to smile back at us? And when is the day when Mother Earth is going to be proud of its creation "MAN"?

Men are from Mars!!! Women are from Venus!!!!
It feels so good to be back after a nice long vacation, despite heat outside(I am from India, but trust me even for Indians the heat in California is just too much to handle) We've been buzzing around into our daily routines adjusting and trying to come out of the past weekend. It's a relief just to sit here in my royal arm chair with the AC on full-blast and to reflect on all that's happened lately(in the few months that swooshed by).
Strange it is really, living your life as an individual for 25 years. Never had the need to act responsible, never thought of how would the life be once we are bound with an other person. And marriage complete changes who you are and what you are. After getting married u leave everyone and every thing and every place u know and move to an alien world where you know no one around u to live all your life with a person who has been a stranger to you( not that i am complaining about Krishna he is a sweet heart) . Cant believe that am married now :)
Things are different after marriage, realized the true facts that once made me laugh from the book by John Gray " Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. The enduring message that men and women are from different planets seems to be correct now.
Its all not that sweet as in the fairy tale stories I had been reading all my life. Marriage is not just a ceremony, which includes sweets, relatives, fun, grandeur, friends, blah blah blah.....
Its about the unison of two families, of two souls, of two people and the hardest of all two mentalities.
It is true that men and women count the the giving and receiving of love differently. And this is where the communication plays a very important role for the relationship. I wish communication would be a lot more easier between two humans....
I was all engrossed in these thoughts when I suddenly came back to life with the gong of the bell... sigh I got up yet another day trying to make complex issues look simple..
I smiled and opened the door for the love of my life... and laughed at the irony that with all these differences we still love each other.....

Fire Strikes Universal Studios
It feels as if it was just yesterday, I was all exited about my trip to LA(The Entertainment Capital of the world). I visited Universal Studios, acres of land filled with the artificial setup for fire hazards, the plane crashes(believe me guys they have the crashed plane from war of worlds), the world's biggest ocean back drop and not to forget the big ship (actually a tiny winy model) used for sailing along the massive oceans( factually a small lake) in the movie "kingkong" How could I possibly ever guess that some of it was to be turned to ashes in just a few days......
Fire strikes Universal Studios lot
'It looked like a disaster film,' LA official says
Los Angeles Times / June 2, 2008LOS ANGELES - A massive fire swept through the Universal Studios back lot in Universal City yesterday, destroying a sound stage, several sets, and a vault containing about 40,000 duplicate videos and film reels.
The headlines reads in the paper and I am all shocked. The 400-acre property, the Courthouse Square set seen in "Back to the Future", the New York street that was used in the 1987 "Dragnet" film and "Bruce Almighty." The Universal theme park's King Kong attraction which took efforts of so many people and long long years completely being ruined and destroyed.Suddenly made me stop and think for a while about the "MOTHER NATURE". The mother who takes care of us in every possible way(in spite of we exploiting it in every possibly way) if turns her back to us can create disasters.
How are we to escape from the nature if she really fixes on destruction.....There is no answer to this question. And here we are still unable to realize what is the fact that lies beyond such natural calamities and still ruining our future, being ignorant to the lessons being taught, being unfair to the generations to come by...
This made me think.... I guess this made me write my first blog.... so here I am... putting my thoughts together.. and wondering if we would ever change our ways!!!!!!!
