RIP Telegram

There was a time when we used to get excited going to a post office or waiting for the postman for our telegraph. The world seems to have moved on. Our loving “Taar” will no more be seen and will be moved to archives. When I was born, my father was not in town. He was on his tour and there was no telephone system at our farm house near Nepal border where he had gone so my grand mother had sent him a telegram. Unfortunately, taar reached there while he was on his way back.
But the taar is still with us at home which mentioned that a boy is born. It may not seem important but for my parents, it is a significant piece of paper. And that is how I am attached to it.

Personally speaking, I still feel it shouldn’t be phased out completely. Just like we have old phones (Trring Trring wale) at our homes which are still usable, telegraphy should be preserved. Though, I agree BSNL cannot afford the system and Government as usual won’t help (Common sense) so its better to distribute the machinery to people or auction it so that we can keep it as a token of memories.

In the time when the world is advancing so fast, we do need something old fashioned, just to keep the spirit burning. Anyways! iOS, Android and BB is the new “Taar” and somewhere deep within we are happy with it. Original Taar will surely be missed. Its like the father left and now the sons are fighting over turf.

Just hoping that our lovable “Taar” is never forgotten. Rest in Peace.

Garmi ki to by god!

Ok! I am writing this post in extreme hot weather so better read it and comment :p
I though I would go out with friends and have fun but they ditched me so instead I came to New Friends Colony to gorge on some shawarmas of Al-Bake. This shop is my ultimate destination to end the stroke of my hunger since years now. So right now, I am sitting in my car having beer and shawarma in the parking. In the midst, I decided to open up the windows and have some fresh air but alas god is not kind to me or anyone of us.

Despite of the heatwave, few guys and girls are running here and there eating and shopping. Glares on eyes and light clothes is the logo of delhi heat I guess. Two guys smoking beneath the beauty parlor across the road and having a conversation. I was like seriously dude! Smoking in this much heat and just then, their girlfriends came out of the shop. Have fun!

Now! I am full and ready to drive to IHC. The roads right now do not have much traffic but this crossing before Ashram seems to be hell. Been half an hour here now. Common people move your asses!! Right now, my car’s AC muct be cursing me coz its making bad sounds. Hehe! Time for some nimbu pani I guess. Just then I see, lines of hawkers with lemonade, cola, coconuts, etc on the by lanes. These are the angels sent by god to save us from heat. Ok! So all the gods must not be angry with us. But only a handful must be playing a practical joke by burning the earth.

Finally, IHC is here. Hence, signing off for today. Might catch up on way back but can’t say. Go out with care, keep yourself cool. Delhi is anyways short on temper and people are always on hot rod. Hope this heat doesn’t expand it further. Stay safe and be cool…

Think about it…….

The shit of Education

Does your child rush from one tuition class to another? Is his school bag bigger than him? Why is the development of the child rated primarily on one scale, namely, academic?
The primary goal of each school is supposed to be the enhancement of the overall personality of each child. School management cannot claim that their aim is to train students to perform well at the examinations as it is politically incorrect to do so and yet, that is precisely what they expect from the students.
Schools need to rethink their goals and objectives. If they believe that their primary objective is the overall development of each child, then why is all study exam-oriented? A change in mindsets is definitely the need of the hour. This would mean that the focus of the teachers and educators should move beyond the next examination. They must be ready to explore new ways of teaching the same subject matter. Making subject matter more interesting to students goes a long way in reducing problems of discipline related to boredom.
A few decades back “The Tuition System” had altogether a different perspective. It was never a thing to be proud of. In fact, it was the thing to be ashamed of. The crème and the average students always paid attention well in the class and could cope up with the syllabus well. But since for the weak student s it was difficult to cope up with the syllabus by just studying in the school so it was mandatory for them to have extra coaching and thereby they were being sent to private tuitions. The school teachers have always been completing the syllabus in the school from that very time so that all could benefit. But only those who could not cope up with the syllabus required an extra dose of teaching.

However, these days the entire concept of “The Tuition System” has changed. An entire new psyche has developed for this system. It has just become a “Trend” in the fabric of education system.

More than education, The private tuitions are being used as the ‘Status Symbol’. The system has rather lost its track and the actual values and purpose has been lost. This system has become almost madness, a disease. These days every child good, bad or very weak all resort to tuition, in almost every subject. In fact, the heights is that the tuitions are being kept in languages also which is a shameful gesture. English is an International language must be known by the kid. Hindi being the National Language should also be well-taught. And the third one is the mother tongue which each child speaks in his/her own family for which tuitions is in vain. But still just because few other kids of the same class are going, parents send their child too. So it turns outta be never-ending cycle.
There is an entire industry now based on giving coaching and tuitions for competitive exams different programs and so on. Be it CAT, AIEEE, IAS, if one wants to target a particular paper, there are probably tons of coaching institutes in India that one can join. Are they really necessary? Can a student crack a nationwide exam by taking these classes?
The answer is not whether one can or one cannot but that these classes have more become such a part and parcel of the education system that not taking them makes one feel perhaps a little less confident than others who undergo them. It’s a mental block! With such great level of competition around and lakhs of students sitting for these exams, perhaps these coaching institutes have become a necessary evil in today’s world.
The positive that these institutes offer is the attention that the student might not find in schools and colleges. Focusing on one paper throughout the year, it channelizes the students focus and helps maintain it. Also approaching a teacher for doubts that pertain to a competitive exam is easier in an institute than rather than school/ college teachers who might not have the energy or the time to provide the same level of attention. The material, extra books and regular exams that are provided and conducted not only helps a student become well prepared but gives him/her that extra boost of confidence. It might not be possible to do this without the extra material and guidance of such institutes.
However there are also negatives with such a reliance on institutes. They might not be financially viable for many; and looking at others who take such classes might cause others to lose confidence. Busy parents rarely get the time to cross check whether the attention and claims that were promised are being successfully delivered or not. Also, dependency on these institutes rises as they become a norm. The amount of time that a student spends in such institutes can be utilized for self-study which becomes more and more difficult as one spends half the day in college/ school and the other half in these classes.
There are ample number of example on both sides of the fulcrum and the debate whether these classes are required or not is difficult to put at rest. However, as of now, these institutes have become a parallel system in themselves. A system that is easy to critique, difficult to ignore.

Tu bhi to raat ko brush nai karti…

Many times we have been asked; “Dude, what is the first thing you observe about a girl?” or “What is the best thing about her?”

Well, my answer is “TEETH”. I mean beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and beauty is in everything. You may find some1′s eyes beautiful or the smile or the beautiful god made body. But that depends and changes from person to person. What doesn’t change is the TEETH … If you have bad teeth, YOU have bad teeth. If one finds them bad, every one will. It is the ultimate truth. HAHAHA…

Remember when getting clicked, people used to say “CHEESE”. It started coz many people had bad teeth and in Cheese only smile comes up. This was done so that such people do not get left out of the lot and their pictured will be sad and gloomy. [Just to keep them in the game;)] Common buddy!

So coming back to the point, I observe teeth in a girl first and then I move to other parts. I do not know why but that’s the way it is. Yellow teeth are OK but not much. but never ever ever miss on the warning signs guys and girls.
Symptoms to look out for include:

Gum, tooth, or jaw pain
Bleeding gums
Loose or lost teeth
Recurring bad breath
Sores, irregular patches, or lumps in your mouth

If you find these, pick up your butt and visit the doctor for god’s sake
See, gums that ache or bleed may be the result of gum disease that is getting worse. Gum disease is often more severe in people with underlying conditions such as diabetes, which reduces the body’s resistance to infection or AIDS (I will check with my dentist and get back on that, hold your horses ).

Your best defenses: brushing, flossing, and using a fluoride rinse. (In one study, twice-daily rinsers had nearly one-third the risk of root cavities as did people who used fluoride toothpaste and a placebo rinse.) But avoid rinses with alcohol.
Common!! Don’t waste that Corona or JD or Budweiser

Think about it…

I am a bad person if

How do you define a person is bad? It is by the deeds one do, right? Is this also valid for the person who is due to one or the other reason not able to give time to friends. The questions are many but the only solution is that person is being killed from inside too. You need to realize that. Just claiming that you are bad and you do not bother, will not help anyone.

The past plays an important role in one’s life. I am not saying one should carry it whole life. Past is to leave behind and forget but the after effects of any event in past do leave a mark on our present and future. Today, I have been tagged as a person who is bad and do not make any attempt to correct things. but nobody wants to look why it happens. The people, I consider close are not understanding that. I know this will go away but it all in the moment, right? And, right now, it is one such moment. I do not wanna loose all of them but I am in an internal turmoil myself.

I have never used anyone or played with anyone’s heart. I am just trying to live my life which I was deprived of since long. I love making friends, that’s true but I am a free spirit. I cannot be chained. I challenge the laws of society every now and then. Does this mean I am bad? There is a common mistake and misunderstanding that if one needs to be grounded which is wrong. I am not made for this. I was caged all my life, now I am getting a chance to fly so why should I ask others for the permission? Why those who care for me should try to hold me back?

Concur that I am bad at time management but it doesn’t mean I am bad at managing people.
Ok fuck it… I can’t type more. Zyada senti hua to I won’t be able to work more.
