India loves "Rice" cuisines......

When US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice offered India access to its nuclear energy on Wednesday it came as a major surprise to many. Also a fact to be noted that it comes at the same time when other US officials are busy investigating Pakistan for its nuke leak. This was expected, but no so early. With this US has now made its weakness clear. Not only it has accepted the fact that it made a mistake by making Pakistan its strategic alliance but also it made its future plans clear of joining hands with India big time. Although it is very interesting to know that this announcement comes at the same time when India is supposed to comment on its FDI caps structure to the world bank in near future. US is not here to lose. It's only business when it comes to US.
For a long time the mental slavery has been playing a huge role in India's outlook. Not only finance oriented startegies but every singe strategy up to the date was planned making sure not to hurt the "big brothers" especially US. This offer from US is now an indication towards a fact that the scene is changing. Its now big b's turn to make sure not to hurt India.
Not to mention here is the fact that US is not doing all this just to please India. Increased FDI caps by India in its public sector can prove to be a big boost for US service industry. From India's point of view it would be much better to give access to China a helping hand for the colaborative investments in Indian public sector as soon as the FDI caps open out more. China is feared to be the biggest competitor of India in coming decade. In that case its always better to join hands with your competitor and make it your ally.
Nuke energy from US can also prove to be very important in that specific domain too. India is known for its genius brains which will really be stimulated with this news. With a little help from US nuke sector, not just weapons but a huge energy crisis can also be well dealt with.
In short a good news. But to be handled very carefully. And if done so then leave aside "Rice", India will also enjoy "Bush" in its evening meal.

Coming down to earth after some time in heavens

Three in the morning. And I am typing my thesis. Let me rephrase it "TRYING to type my thesis". Documentation is a thing I never could do (this does not mean that I can do other things). I always fall short of technical language. And then my guide has to comment on every single word I write. I feel bad for him. But cant help. So here's an idea..... Next I am building a robot which will be intelligent enough to type your thesis when you explain him your concept. Hehe...eeerrr
Do I need some sleep? What do you think Rapa?....... Yes I think you need some sleep...... Okay I'll sleep if you say so...... Good, now go and sleep. Goodnight......... Goodnight to you too....... Hey I am your subconscious mind, I never sleep, remember?......... Oh yeah, I remember. Anyways have a nice time..... Ok, bye see ya........ Bye

When the GOD fails

Another hurting, black day of my life..... The god failed again. I wonder how much it hurts to him.... You think of an idea and start building on it bit by bit and at the last minute it all goes down..... Sachin Tendulkar missed his record breaking century an Mohali. Out on 94. I am not in a mood to say anything right now. May be after some time :(

Journey or Destination

I remember, when I was a kid, my school was quite far from my place. I used to take a bus trip up and down everyday. In the afternoon, on my way back to home, I always used to love the journey. Watching streets from the bus window, reading name plates of the shops, watching people get in and get down at every stop, conductor with his bag of tickets and the money… It used to be fun. I was a special friend of the conductor and few other regular travelers. Talking to them and telling them about my day at the school was a daily routine. More than reaching home, the journey to home used to make me happy.

I have not changed since…. The question always haunts me…. “Destination or Journey?”. More than the cheerful feeling of reaching to my destination, the melancholy of end of journey breaks my heart me at times.

Even in those stupid Shahrukh-Karan Johar movies, I liked the “process of” falling in love more that the part “after” falling in love. In my college orchestra group, I loved practice sessions more than the actual performance. In my treks, I love the walk and climb more than reaching at the top.

Then how shall I spell success for myself? What should be my goal? Shall I set something that I can reach for? Or something that would be impossible to attain, but the journey towards it would be endless?

More than reaching somewhere, this journey, full of life, is important for me. I want a journey. Which at every step, will give me a feeling of fulfillment and at every step let me feel the fragrance of success. A clean, clear, happy, smiling journey.
