"what will you do if i sang outta tune , will you stand up and walk out on me ??
lend me your ears and try to sing u a new song....." sounds familiar to millions of us out there doesnt it bring meomories ,makes you get all nostalgic all over again . "The wonder years","full house", "doogie howser","dawson's creek","small wonder","i dream of genie","sabrina.........,it just seems like yesterday there i was being this carefree kid , reliving my childhood through the eyes of kevin,paul,winnie,dj,steff,vicki,stacy..(charachters from the above mentioned soaps) revisiting those wonderful innocent days, where summer was all about pure fun and games,where everything was either black or white no room for grey ,everything seemed so plain and simple .
it was all about first crushes, heartbreaks,the never ending search to discovering the real "u" ,
the truimph of good over evil ,it was all about being a kid again or more like the journey of this kid ,it wasn't always simple i mean who ever said growing up was simple having been there (and still going through that phase) belive me it is anything but simple its crazy!!!!
but i must admit am glad that i havent totally lost out on that craziness revisting these serials take me back in time , back into bittersweet memories it keeps the flame of childhood still buring in me theres so much in there ,its like a link to my past or more like going back in this time machine and visiting all those places ,going back in time and reliving all those beautiful moments all over again its simply so beautiful ,so amazing its like i have a retrive a part of me .
years down the line its still something that brings a smile to my face ,i may have grown up (well atleast to the outside world i guess) but deep down inside theres this little kid that just wants to breakfree and just be a kid all over again , to be able to just dream and dream without having to be rational or logical to be able to soar high in the deep blue skies spreading her wings and just letting go .............. think about it theres this little kid in all of us actually wanting to just let go , just listen in and follow your heart come on its all about being a kid again its the most joyful experiences ever give it a shot

RESERVATIONS....
The heat on the whole reservation debate is on again , this time thanks to the SC verdict .Many in fact are applauding the SC verdict saying thats its "finally done justice" and given the OBC the much deserved reconginition by approving of 27% reservations for OBC'S ,whats really ironic is that the goverment of India has no proper defination who is an OBC also the grounds on which a person is decided to be an OBC is really very vague and ambigious. I and am sure even our polticians and the OBC brethen are as confused as i am on the whole concept of "other backward class" who is this "other" they talking about???
also given the fact that since there is no proper defination or guideline each state has different barometers to decide who is OBC , OBC in state may not necessarily be OBC in another .
Coming to the verdict itself frankly i feel its mere eyewash , the verdict does state that creme da la creme of the OBC'S certainly won't benefit (wonder how much of that will actcually happen!!)
and if it doesnt benefit them , then how will the goverment (even the SC for that matter) make sure it will reach those who deserve it (and in this case like i said earlier i am really confused and yet trying to figure out who is it that actaully deserves it then!!) . Funny isn't it the constituton doesnt fail to recognize the so called rights of the SC/ST/OBC'S but its failed to provide a through understanding of who these so called SC/ST/OBC'S are?? whats even more interesting is that no one seems to care least of all are politicans .
secondly, what really needs to be done is focus at the grassroot levels why isnt anyone (most of all the SC) not concerned about the non implementation of SSA (sarv sikhsha abhigyan) why isn't anyone of our so called "concerned minsiters " not concerned about the appalling conditions of the municipal schools . what about the various mid day meals schemes gone haywire? what about the standard and quality of education imparted? why isn't anyone concerned ???as a matter of fact, it is a matter of grave concern, its nice that they sunddenly paying attention to their education needs but inside of starting from top-down shouldn't it be the other way round?
reservations should help give you that intial push not make you totally dependent on them its like providing crutches to someone who is having a little difficulty walking !! Sounds bizarre and hiliarious i agree but thats exactly whats happening take a look around , this whole reservation debacle is nothing more than a political gimmick at the end of the day ( and more so now , as we nearing the polls)

beauty pagents....
hmmmm there goes yet another PFMI (ponds femina miss india ) 08' , theres so much of coverage being given to the three charming ladies(not that i deny they are not charming!) whats even more bizarre is how certain sections belive that this pagent is all about giving them (the fairer sex) equal opportunites and a platform to realize their talent . Seriously am yet to hear something as firvolous as this puh-lease i mean out there you have people saying or more like ranting breathlessly that this pagent is all about celebrating womanhood,talent and "true beauty"... whats ironic is that the so called 21st century woman , a woman who is "supposed" to be on par with men well it is nothing but mere eyewash , these young women are made to belive that they given this great platform to showcase their talent(am yet to figure out what this talent is??) that apart whats even more annoying is that there is this over glamourization of their feminity dude am a woman so what ??
well at least for me i strongly feel that this so called pagent subtly tries to reinforce the gender sterotypes , even the so called women centric questions asked are anything but that ,its more a Subconscious way of telling them that " well, yes i agree and even applaud you for coming this far but dearie your still a woman and thats about it"
whats even more frustating is to the 28 starved souls battling it out for some ridiculous titles like , "Miss sexy legs", "Miss top 10", phew!! personally as a woman i seriously find it very demeaning to have your body be judged in such a way ,and to those who think there is nothing wrong good for you , you could probably join the bandwagon next year .........
