49 O WAY TO GO VOTERS

2009-05-12T23:46:00.000-07:00

For all the majors out there, the belief of casting our vote can bring in change to the system, has to be strongly accepted. Cos here's a way out.

For years now, people crib about the political reforms and the uneducated politicians who are given the liberty to do anything with the country. And the public voice their views against them. Voicing our views definitely reaches people, but in some way those 'voices' needs to be considered while making decisions.

As per the 1969 act, there is a section called 49-O. That section states that any public can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote for anyone! Yes such a feature is available, but these leaders have never disclosed it for obvious reasons.

Now if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received 49-O votes more than 123, then that polling will be cancelled and will have to be re-polled. The candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them.This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way, of our whole political system. It is seemingly surprising why the election commission (EC) has not revealed such a feature to the public.

There has been a petition filed to the EC for including 49O as a button in the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM). The EC has affirmed the public that this time people will have to inform the polling officer and sign the form 17-A. During the next elections, it is believed to be included as a button in the EVM. When that comes to action, we can overcome the fear among the public in voicing for 49O in few problematic polling booths too.

Today's power of communication & media has made this information reach the people. Its definite that, for the very first time this year, this feature cannot get majority of attention. But Im sure this can bring in a lot of change. So why not be a small part in changing the whole system.

Merry X-Mas!... one of the most interesting Chrismaaaaa...chrischild ever!

2008-12-19T10:08:00.003-08:00

Christmas time in office, and we're playing the ChrisMa~ChrisChild game.All the office staff who were in Star, Vijay and also those in consultancy payroll were included. Its a complete HR initiative. All the names were put into an empty fishtank & placed in the reception next to the register's desk. Each of us picked one name from the lot.The Rules goes like this: You're not suppose to reveal yourself to your Chris child. Will have to keep it as a suspense until the 24th. You are to get gifts for your Chris child, if possible, every daystarting from the 16th to the 24th, the last day of the game.On the 24th you are to get a grand gift from your Chris mom and one for your Chris child.We will have the gift exchange event on the 24th.We can use our collegues to carry gifts to our Chris child, over a promise of secrecy.Some of us dont even even know if ours is a Pa or a Ma.

Samples of the Thank You mails :Thank you for the gift and the card mom.... it was gr8 :)Christmom/ dad, Thank you so much for your cute gifts.hey chris ma thank u chooooooooooooooo much for the beautiful GIFT's...........Thank U Chris Mom for presenting me chocs( My favrte One) & keychain.that smiley key chain was awesome.Tks a lot ;))))Hey Chris Ma/Pa ...Thank u so much for the yummy cake !!!!Chris Parent --- Your gifts were awesome .. Thanks a bunch .. The teddy bear was hugglywuggly cute !!!! :-)

And coming to myself, I gave my Chris child a a small cute cermaic doll, a boy holding a cross. Next day was another ceramic doll.. young pretty gal holding a beautiful umbrella.. and there was a cluewith it. Third gift was a puzzle cube. In the Mean time, i got the chocolate 'choc coin', the gold coin kinda chocolates neatly wrapped with a note clearly stating my name with the dept. My mom, also mentioned that have to wear black salwar the next day. This was difficult for me as I'm a gal who doesn't listen to wat her parents say! listening to others was difficult :P.. uh... so i decided not to disappoint them completely and wore black kurta with blue jeans. But the 2nd gift i got from my chrismom was a grand kada bangle had a note with it .. it said the the mom is disappointed because i didnt wear salwar. And have been asked to come in sari on the monday. Its also stated that the person has already seen me in sari n wants to see again. There was another gift that evening ... my most most favourite chocolates - ferrero rocher and a lovely bunch of apple keychain., this time the note was aksing abt the morning gift, the bangle, and have been asked to wear it with the sari on monday! OMG...wat a sodhanai!... The bangle was tooooo jaaal!

I adopted a Chris child, one of my team mate who's aprent was unknown.. Sad part, he was duly sending gifts and notes to his child asking to do certain tasks. The child did accept all the gifts and refused to do anything the mom asked for. So i decided to adopt that child and bought him a very nice semi formal shirt. I had lotsa problem in figuring out his shirt size.

During the fourth day, my gift was a pretty pink lacoste watch with a note asking for my mobile number and all my 'friends' had known my chris pa, its pa .. a guy.. and having known him, they built stories that it could be the guy from first floor, who's known to be a super flirt in the office. OMG! I took things really easy until the fifth day's gift came along with a note. That was a shoe-shaped mobile holder with a 'supandi' kinda guy leaning and standing beside it. The note stated that the guy is really sad that he didnt get my number, but has taken efforts to guard my mobile n me as well... uhhhhh! things strated freaking me out.. My gang of monkeys started playing so much n i could never think of somebody else being my mom than that flirt.

Simultaneously i was gifting my child with box of xmas tree decorators and a cute pink color model bicycle. This by itself was a good hint to y child. I made sure i bought most of my gifts in pink colour. N my child knows that pink is my favourite colour. But my child could never guess that and was troubling me to tell who that was.

My pal who belonged to HR had known most of the moms and childs by then and she told all that to me. So it was easy for me to pull everyone's legs. Worst part was only where i didnt know my chrisparent. Bad it was!!

finally during the eve of xmas, there was this final day where all of us assembled for the cake cutting ceremony and to my surprise i discovered i had been cribbing about my parent to himself.

No matter the size or cost of the gift, the joy one has when giving and receiving is awesome!!!

Joy to the World & Happy X Mas ! :)

reGRETS

2008-03-23T10:12:00.000-07:00

If ever u start regretting all your acts, your age would come to an end.

Rather than regretting your commits, its wiser to move on catching up with the lined up mistakes that u did so far. Life becomes much easier and lively that way!

There's no harm in making a mistake, (i dont mean to say that all of 'em HAVE to make mistakes..) as long as we learn from it and make sure that there's no recurrence of it again.

Enjoy lifE!

तारे ज़मीन पर

There has always been this notion of not getting involved to any movie while u watch it for the second time. If not with everyone, I've felt it that way. This movie proved it wrong! I watched taare zameen par today for the second time in the theatre and jus couldn't stay away from getting involved to the movie.

I ve a feeling its a awesome piece of art if u consider the movie in terms of success. Its success can de defined by the number of people (all ages), who wipe the tears that flow outta their eyes for few scenes.

The perfect depiction of the child who suffers from dyslexia is showcased extremely well and the practical consequences. I have had the chance to closely watch one child grow up this way. Fortunately, he was identified with this problem and had started receiving this treatment from a very young age. Now my prayers are jus for his colorful future...

Today, this symptom is prominent with 1 out of 9 children. But detecting it at the early stages will definitely save the child's future. The most touching scene accordin to me was when te child runs back to amir before leaving fr the summer vacation and hugs him(end of climax). Apart from it, the scene where he's picked for the best art work.. jus amazing!!

When the child is left alone in the hostel for the first time, and his family bids farewell..... the pain.... the tears!!! It makes me think as to y does a child needs to suffer the loneliness for the name sake of discipline.. Why not keep the child closer to our heart and bring in perfection...

This movie brought in the nuances of lotsa stuff, which we would barely think of in our day-to-day lives...

Personal Space

2008-01-14T08:35:00.000-08:00

why do people hinder with others personal space !!!

What does personal space mean?? i Guess its something that each and every person has for his own existance... its something which no one has got the rights to hinder.. but its impossible for few people who'd love to poke their nose into others affairs and ve the best of their time. Everyone needs to understand their own limits and behave accordingly.

There is definitely a boundary that we could easily define with in ourselves. Its visible many-a-times. May be thats the space we give for our selves. But this by itself makes us wonder if it is healthy at all times. I guess its not!! I learnt that u can clearly analyse and bring out a solution to anything, when u look at it from a third person's perspective. Never when u're within ur frontier.

Had got a forwarded text message from one of my buddies couple of weeks back. It conveyed saying, Our destiny is associated with our desires. And when u cry, u double ur worries. Rather why not laugh at them and u'll see them disappear soon. This fact is so very true. But it might sound easy to say that its true, but u'll see the real thing wen u go thro it. Once u start practising it, i'm sure the hurdles will come to an ease gradually.

a clinch of 2007

2007-12-31T09:59:00.000-08:00

Well this year was a very promising one.... gotto learn loads and loads of new things.. gained worthy experiences and crossed one more step in the future way.. Well this doesn't mean this year was jus full of fun and bliss.. Rather it shelled out quiet a few poignant happenings.

Met lotsa new people and learned so much from them. U always need to be good to yourself and only to yourself!! needn't bother about how others would take u. Its more of self confidance that you earn.

This post is not any kinda advice. This year offered beautiful chances for me to make wonderful trips with my friends... Kodai, Kolli and Bangalore were memorable ones. Same time this was a chance to understand all friends better.. their likes, dislikes, preferences and nature. Few turned out geniune and true. But it did help in knowing others lousy attitude too!!

Entry into workspace was the prime trial. This challenge proved little harder in terms of the tolerance level. Patience is the key factor! Need to wait until things work out. Team player is not an easy term. It has got a deep meaning to it. But the exposure you get in return is immense.

Balancing work life and personal life is wat if felt i need to look at...

whY sO manY religionS

2007-12-30T10:44:00.000-08:00

I'm not sure about the answer.... its kinda weird when i think about the number of religions that exist today!! does it make a difference to u???

it doesn't make any to me !!!

Being an agnostic, i'm not really into any belief... I was baptised as a hindu, But i like going to church .. the silence there is something which you cannot buy elsewhere...

I thought the major religions were jus a few... Chirstianity, jainism, hinduism, islam, bahai and buddism were the ones i was aware about .. But the list doesn't end here... its really really long....

And why do people get excited when anybody praises ur religion and feel let down when ur's is degraded... More than showing ur faith, y not make this society ONE~!! But i doubt if there would be an end to the religions.. It would exist till the end of human race, most probably.. But the conflicts and problems arising due the very term 'religion' could be analysed and sorted out very easily.

There's absolutely nothing wrong in people choosing their own spiritual path. Its the way u want to live your life. But this itself shouldn't become the reason for people to fight with. The never-ending conflict between hindu muslim seems immortal.

Relentless act of a 14yr old chap

2007-12-12T09:38:00.000-08:00

Its definitely clueless on where our society is heading to while hearing about grave incidents, like the gurgoan school murder. 14 year old chap, who smartly flicked his dad's licensed revolver and managed to hide it in the very same school premises until the day of the incident. In spite of the frequent bullying by the victim, Abishek the issue could've been solved in some other precautious way rather than losing a life! Life is so damn precious and today's children don't seem to apprehend on that!

This grave incident is now gonna threaten every parent who have been thinking that their ward is safe in his school. The frantic VP of the Euro International School ran to the place where the incident took place after hearing from two other children and witnessed the body of abishek, in a pool of blood and the killer chap standing beside him. More than the academics, these children need to learn more on ethics and stuff. This child, actually the murderer, or could be called as the juvenile has no fear and claimed himself that he had killed abishek. Where do these kids get the courage from and Where lies the blame??

Genres of people

2007-10-16T10:23:00.000-07:00

OMG!!!!!! The number of specimens around you. . . Its kinda wild when u get to think about the different natured people around you.. few really genuine, caring, warm, compassionate.. where as few others who would love to bitch about you, try heating up things and cast you there and get on to your nerves...

I know the world is quiet complex and you'll get to meet a mix of diverse people. While thinking about those who pull down your cool to maximum are greatest ones'. They re the one bout whom you would keep thinking about, cribbing about or fearing from. But they would happily trigger the rage and stay happy watching it.

When we all (i believe) have our own bloody jobs! then why the hell talk about somebody who's not in the scene at all!! Gossip has become the key word with every one and people manage to have fun at one's cost who is into his own pursuit.

But i definitely need to admit that there are folks who are nice, lovable, trust worthy, all fun and sweet... so jus try getting around 'em and never with the rest..

Talking about the changes required is a list that's never gonna end.. But people's mentality and thinking needs a facelift! When something happens in someones life, may it be jus a usual happening as ever, others get all excited and charged. Does it mean that all of 'those' kinda pople are perfectly on the dole to start the lovely talk!! People need to kick their asses off these things and start off with positive work. Energy needs be utilised for good!

Relationships

2007-08-28T10:08:00.000-07:00

'flavours of life'

Had i ever wondered relationships are so complex!! i doubt....
relationships are too delicate to handle.. it not just needs the patience and understanding, but also needs utmost care and comfort.

too many things stand your way to make you confused and mount you to the peak..
It IS certainly difficult to overcome that, but I bet, once u cross it, you would have learnt the best of lessons from that. The path is all adventours, also agonizing. But why learn that at the cost of one's relationship???

Do you have an answer to this??

When your likeness to someone grows more,rather develops to another relationship, thats the time for you not to confuse!! Now you'll have to take up a good, firm decision and forecast the outcome.

The relativity to that subject grows far and wide and you need to make sure you're in the right path. "Afterall" we all are just conventional human beings, clinged to emotions and intellect. Where does ones' respondsibilty start from?? Rather does one have any specific respondsibilty?? NO .. i guess its a no.. I believe at taking the best of whats offered to me from my endurance and live it up. Too much of planning ahead doesn't work at all times... slumps up many-a-times.

We tend to take things in a different perspective sometimes, and others too goof up this way. But here's your scope to bring out a happy note out of the entire episode. When our individuality or self respect is at stake, we know!!.. the hitch begins!

In this fast changing pace of everyday living, we fail to nurture and care for basic ties of love and warmth that binds us all together.. Wake up.. those who're still asleep......

I believe in hitting at the best n being good to ur fullest at all times n am sure u wud get it back at some point in time........ Ok this doesn't mean we'll ve to give our best and wait for something better or brighter to occur... If things ve to happen, they would definately!! Its always better to have the least expectations and stay happy with what ever we've got.

I love to be at my best and be good to everyone. Believe me... thats actually so pleasing.. more the amount of goodness, bigger the virtue you get in return. Its nice when be very normal, open, straight forward. At the same time, U need to be smart enough in judging the ones around u. Cos any day people will wait to ditch u and cross over u.

nEvEr lEt the happen!!!

Experiences teach u on how to learn things and become smarter. But u needn't always wait for something to happen and then learn from it! If thats the case, u'll almost loose every possession of yours and finally look up.

This world is filled with good and bad people. But there exist good ones too.. Doing what yout think is right will always fetch you fine moments.

Be nice to people on your way up because you'll meet them on your way down.

Solidarity day

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend. . . :)
-Henry David Thoreau

Every first Sunday in the month of August is when we celebrate Friendship day.. an occasion to jubilate the companionship of our buddies. Truly speaking there needs no special day to proclaim our friendship with our patron. But lets mark this day more special n make it one big reason to hang around with them n party all nite!!!!!!!!

There're quiet a few stories behind this day. But more than all that, the remembrance, phone calls, the messages, mails, e-cards n the hugs from our pals. . . just great.. no words....

Nice quote -
"The only way to have a friend is to be one!!"

the alluring range of kolli hills

2007-08-02T10:46:00.000-07:00

A great place to visit for an holiday. absolute silence, less population, not commercial, eucalyptus everywhere.. what more.. a beautiful place. there isn’t many tourist spots except the number of temples all across. During my trip, i visited 3 places ……. absolute heaven… one was the kolli falls, which is adventurous fun. You’ll have to climb down almost 750 steps to reach the place where the water pours down. Truly amazing... is not just the phrase!!!! It would take almost 20 minutes to climb down. But you need to revitalize yourselves completely after having bath in the falls to climb up. Each stair will look enormously huge. . & its kinda 1 feet each. You would almost be dead by the time you climb up completely. I would suggest you to plan up well and devote one day completely for this place if you intend to visit it.

The other place is called the peak point where in you get a marvelous view of the valleys. This is being maintained by the tourism development corporation. Other than that, one uncle had arranged for our trip to another view point, which is undisclosed to any tourist. That place is amazing!!!!!!! jus amazing.. the exotic view and perfect silence with the air gushing in… awesome….

The tourism board has been planning up to bring this place with more attractions for the tourists. They are planning up to construct a lake, where boating will be introduced. That plan is in its first stage of implementation. Apart form this, another fact about the place is that, there are just one or two resorts now. May be more venture from the travel industry would pave in. I made my trip with three other friends of mine, where in we stayed at the youth hostel. A very recently constructed building with an excellent, huge rose garden. In case you plan up to carry little food with you, you could spend more time without any worries. Any one who likes to stay on with fresh fruits n veggies will have the best of their trip!!

sounds cool na!! They why not pack your bags of to Kolli……. a real cozee place…..

wats nice about N73m

2007-08-02T10:45:00.002-07:00

I’ve been using N73m since few days and i felt i could share few nice things about the phone.. i know it’s got few flaws too.. but comparatively lesser… The best feature about the phone is the camera.. Its got 3.2mp carl tessar 2.8 optics. autofocus component which enables easier way to get a neat picture… the video mode has got great options and to choose the high res mode enables you to get the best videos out of a phone.

there’s also a secondary vga cam. It helps in clicking ur self-picture in a much profound manner.

The phone has got a great standby time. Battery lasts for a reasonably longer time.This handset has got bluetooth, infrared and usb port. definitely easy to transfer datas.

The music edition comes with a 2 gb memory card in which u could store hundreds of songs and pictures. But keep in mind that ur pjhone speed depends on the memory stored. Beware.

When it comes to the color of the phone, there isn’t much choice while comparing the N73 model. Music edition has got the black color alone. There are a few themes that comes along with your phones. Apart from that www.mobile9.com is a good site that’s been offering themes and ringtones.

Any purchase to a higher model is like inviting some kind of complication too..So we need to gear up in resolving it easily… In this case, you need to be really calculative about the storage memory. Your phone would tend to hang if the memory is nearly full. Try keeping some free space always.

shopping mania

2007-08-02T10:45:00.001-07:00

There’s a whole lot of sale n stuff round the corner.. The aadi discounts with most of the shops at T nagar… Apart from it, Globus is offering good sale. The stuff seemed quiet good (but i saw it on the first week of the sale). so not sure about it now..

Wanted to buy a pair of jeans.. so went around 2 .. 3 places.. Could find good stuff at pantaloons showroom -Spencers. Also the Signature showroom of Levis has got a good deal…

Cape Kazuals at Elliots beach has got its anniversary sale.. shirts for gals n cargos for guys… best buy*

The latest silk sari collection @ Pothys . . Chaamundrika collections is a decent pick.. There’s a loads of variety to choose from.

But those who wanna buy stuffs from T Nagar.. never forget to carry water n some snacks with u. The crowd n the sweat in which u get drenched!! quiet scary. . being precautions is better many ways!!

realm of gizmos

2007-08-02T10:44:00.002-07:00

July 21st, 2007

Have gizmos made ur work easier or simpler .. (or) have they made ur work tedious!! this might make few think…..

i keep wondering why all my posts begins with a question n it itself gives an answer to it…

k moving on to the subject.. Ve u ever thought of the work load that’s shared by our side while using any king of machines.. !!! its tremendous. . . we all feel we do our work in a faster pace while printing out a simple letter.. That part is true… but when it comes to storing the same data for future retrieval, we take a print of it, file it up cos we can’t depend completely with the digital storage. Now tht we use so much energy.. electricity, paper, and all the more.. most precious time, instead jus sit down with a pen in your hand and write those few lines in the same paper and move on to ur next job…. why not!!

The moment we think about the way our mum or anybody at home spends time with washing the clothes, specially with the help of washing machine..omg!! the money we invest buying it! the electricity bills we pay!!The annual servicing!!! additional repair costs… y do so much.. instead pay ur investment in parts n get ur job done by a maid servant.. I pretty well know its quiet hectic to do it that way. But i guess you could save on many things then.. won’t u!!

This being my blog is jus the way i look at these stuffs.. opinions differ

jus a bashful day

2007-08-02T10:44:00.001-07:00

July 21st, 2007

Are blogs jus a platform to pour out our feelings?? or make it a tool to spread information to others… Could be used for both. . i guess. . so this writing is simply about a very normal, bashful day of mine wherein in i turned up at office.. did all my work n got back home.. also went around with friends during sundown. spent time with mum too.. inspite of these, i could feel some kind of emptiness…. a tendency of floating … my life is heaving towards could nine…but at times being kicked down to think loads puts u to high spirits.. if not all, least to me.. is nice being this way too……. and just as my friend keeps repeating, “As the going gets tough..the tough gets going” is soooo damn true.. all the hard ships n cheerful moments means so much to u… n the toughest in it would seem a great chapter when u think ‘abt it later…

Mehendi

2007-08-02T10:42:00.000-07:00

A small gallery of mehendi designs…. good one’s … u guys may use it in cse u need…. still got to upload more*

Mehendi is an art thats involues lotsa intricate work.. eats away ur time.. but believe me, for those who are inclined to art will luv to do it..specially when the complete thing dries n the lovely red hue’s seen.. its awesome.. to my knowledge there various kinds of it..

Mehendi is associated to lots of thing. A good dark design is a sign of goodluck for the marital couple… You also would ve heard from ur friends that u’ll def get a nice hubby if ur menhendi has turnned out pretty dark.. is that all true? Does the goodness of ur partner depend on the colour… i sometimes wonder…

INDIAN MEHENDI CATCHING ON IN TEH WEST

Mehendi is believed to be a 5000 yr old art form, which originated from our nation. (Jus an brief bg of teh art form.. not a history chapter)This traditional and pretty swirls on our hands and feet has caught the interests of so many westerners. I was on a tour and visited the place called ‘Dilli haat’ in New Delhi, which is a conglomerate of various stalls set up to exhibit the talents, arts and trade of each state of India. There i witnessed aplenty of westerners who spent wholesome time patiently showing their hands n arms to get painted. Was pleasant… to see them catch r tradition…..

Mehendi gives a look of a tattoo somewat.. not exactly, but slightly. But u get all that completely with a painless and a pleasant experience. And its temopary. You needn’t regret or worry about it staying on ur skin forever..
