Sun signs

I don't know how many of you believe in sun signs and their influence on people's personality characteristics. As far as I am concerned, its a good time pass activity. But somehow when it comes to my own sun-sign, i.e., Libra, I find myself a true libran: lazy, indecisive, objective, capable of undertsanding others' perspective, etc. My hobbies also match up with the typical libran's hobbies like reading, music. Infact, my research on librans has helped me confront several revelations about myself. There have been occasions when I used to undergo a downswing of mood but never used to find the root cause behind the same. Even my friends used to complain about it. Now when I look back I can reason out that it was because of the non-suitable ambience (too crowded places or claustrophobic atmosphere) or some stress lingering at the back of my mind. And the funny part is I never realized it then.


I don't know how logical or scientific is this theory of sun-signs as I have no crazy idea about astrology. When I think about the purpose of invention of sun-signs by Man, stereotyping emerges as one major phenomenon to have played a role. It is human's nature to generalize for the sake of convenience. Same thing is applicable here. Categorization of people's personality types as per their sun-signs is helpful in predicting the actions of any damn stranger!


Well, this oversimplification of things can prove to be dangerous any time. As they say "human is unpredictable". You should not presume that a Leo would be dominating and so you be over-cautious while dealing with him. Similarly, I simply can't understand how these fortune tellers can predict what is to happen in future. Again, its just for restoring your peace of mind and optimism that these serve a purpose. The movement of planets can in no way determine how you are going to fare in life.


So, all those of you who check their daily fortune predictions, take it if its good, or else just chuck it!

Maami Series - Something about the Kurta

Well, it has been quite some time since we ignored our dear Maamis. To provide you a status update, DM is on a Mama (Groom) hunt whereas SM is exploring the world of photography. DM is always filled with deep appreciation (to the extent of joining her fan club) for SM whenever SM tries her hand at such interesting domains. Nowadays SM is kept on her toes looking for a picturesque scene that could be captured in her Nikon/Canon to be interpreted as abstract or real piece of art. Some of her masterpieces have been the stray dogs of her colony, random clouds, thirsty birds, and dirty kids! In a recent telephonic conversation between both the Maamis (after a time gap of more than 2 weeks), they touched upon the usual topic of fashion, brand consciousness and dressing sense of today's generation (they obviously considered themselves as aliens!). Both of them took pride in recognizing the fact that somehow they identify themselves with Kurtas and that 70% of their wardrobe is full of th...

The Path I fear to tread...

There is a path I fear to tread. I know it would not lead me to my destination. But it is enticing me. I am divided into two schools of thought. One says, "listen to your heart", and the other says, "stay focussed on your goal". I am trying to help others come out of their gloom. But who will rescue me from this mire! I encounter unknown emotions and distorted personalities. I don't know how to deal with both. I feel lost in this new world. But I know I am strong enough to come out of this web...I am hopeful.

Being a girl...

Ever asked a girl how does it feel being of the female gender? Now you would say when I never asked a guy, what is so special being a girl? I would say, it wouldn't have been if the Indian society wouldn't been a male chauvinistic society. People say it is the weaker sex, the reason being that we are dependent on our male counterparts for leading our lives. Although it has been proved wrong by many bold females by challenging and going against the generally accepted rules and regulations for girls, there are still several areas, where the battle is still on. Now without getting into the details of "Equality for Women in society" issue, I would take the case of one my friends. Let me call her Ms. M. Now this girl, like all my friends, is a highly confused but simple and modest (to an extreme) girl. She hasn’t had a boyfriend in her 22 yr long life. But is now developing feelings for a guy on whom she first had a crush (is it called puppy love??). Ok..looks simple. But...
