Well ...there are always ample scopes of resuming a genuine blog! Quoting this ....I think of a new blog entry via the 11 no. bus..
The LKO transport as I talk of has seen consistent improvement during the last few years.The capital has almost bid bye to the khatara buses..which have for long been replaced by the renovated CNG ,electronic display ones..I wonder when/ifever LKO would have the tromb/metro culture but the autos yes ! ..run parallel to the buses,while the rickshaws stay limited ..If I get critical,they are confined to sections,say aunties returning after afternoon shopping or with the kids after school or ...or to the uncles across the veg-fruit markets,picking up milk-bread packets or...or kaki-kakas who choose it as a return way of evening walks ! (instances totally needless here :P).
And genuinely to talk of fares, if I confine the comparison within U.P. , it is a bit more with the autos asking more !(Nawab chale gaye ..jane kahan jaageer rakh gaye !).
From 6 A.M onwards ,running on the well furnished ,nicely greased roads (courtesy:CM) of Gomtinagar,these buses wont let you wait for more than 10 minutes, and that you can well pass sharing glances with Ms deepika @BSNL hoardings or watching people who are watching you,,keeping in mind that it takes 8.2 seconds to fall in love at the first sight !......and while you are up at the bus ,follow some 'no-rules' like always standing ..what care the entire bus is vacant for you ..eyeing more frequently the people on the track than in the bus,missing no inner happenings,sighing off c'mon uncle !! c'mon aunty !! when they say/do something which appears invalid to you ! and not choosing to pay unless the conductor comes to you and asks for ! ,,apply 'keep the change' fundas etc etc ...
change se yaad aya !!!would wish to change post for another one ..'The sign change of rupee'!!
c u then :)
regards ,
astha !

Hindu marriages in U.P.
Hi frenz,, Hindu marriage season "sahalag" is going on ..Well,residing in a posh zone..it does offer you invitations to some high class marriages ....But there are many things .I dont understand about hindu marriages .
The blatant exorbitant expenditure ,
Why are all marriages in night ?? The entire philosophy follows ...vidaayi taaron ki chaon mein ,but while yhe Baraat is always late !! the actual vidaayi takes place in the morning !
Thousands of senseless ceremonies , I do not think that the day of marriage is a happy day for any bride andgroom because of these ceremonies but then I may be wrong
Horrible music is quite popular in UP ,even an original version ..it is sung in a horrible screechy male voice : hello hello 123 check check
Long hours sitting at stage,posing for hundreds of photographs most with strangers and relatives whom one would never again see in life !
One thing very common is the entire sysytem of not wearing woolens ...however it may be permissible in case of hot ones like me ! :) The men are all suited up. Are they ever in backless? sleeveless? (ok not so gay display) but are they ever in just trousers and shirts?
And then ,What I also don't understand is the entire floral decoration in bed room . Suhaag -Raat is actually a floral night ! What's the need? is it an achievement to count the number of crushed flowers in morning? or does cleaning the rotten flowery mess a day or two later gives inexpressible joy ? why waste so many flowers?
Ideally there should be court marriage and the day next n a grand reception (lunch) for closed friends. Does one like being dragged to marriages of acquaintances? NO, so why call acquaintances for yours?
Then there is this entire element of bitching and criticism , no one is ever satisfied after attending a marriage. What was she wearing . He was so snobby. No one took care of the relatives . She wears the same jewellery every time etc. etc.. Also in case anyone is facing marital problems , unknown to him/ her the entire family and far off relatives discuss the subject with gay abandon.
This one stupid comment generally made by dadi's / Nani's बिलकुल राम सीता कि जोड़ी हैं | OK 1st of all no one should wish for a life like them and 2ndly give me a break! ....
I wonder what this institution actually deals with !Simple Mary - Hales like Mangalam bhagwan vishnu ...... dont change anything ! I mean shaadi ke baad bhi the same thing happens ..it does nt change ,,your work ,,your other things etc etc ....
Well,this can mean that i'm advocating love marriages here ....Walking over to the drawing room with the tray in hand ,switching over from skirts-jeans to heavy suits and even other some crappy things amidst and finally ...getting to marry one and forcing youselves to love your husband coz you have to ...?Anyway ,,,no debate intended here ,,i feel love marriages are good as long as they dont turn to arranged ones ,,and the arranged are good only if they turn to like love-marriages. I can go on forever on this issue this topic...although I am just very far from the marriage - vantage and would like to push it as far as I can !
! Before that ,I would like to make one quick observation on mothers of eligible bachelors. This has been my observation since childhood. These women (barring the educated sober rare exceptions of course ) are a menace at any marriage. She somehow has a very superior air around her, it's like every one at the marriage gathering's highly impressed with her son and all girls wanna marry him.

ISSUES !
hi everyone !
While monsoons keep torturing the north indians ,roasting them to peevishness,,,there are even more issues .Lets analyse the prevailing ones around us !!
The elephantine issue is the U.P. C.M''s ambitions! More than crores spent on Granite and Marble statues .40 statues ,including 6 of her own+Kashiram's memorial at Jail road +Buddha Sthal,,all these waiting to be inaugrated .If I be in Lko,I'l look forward to availing the invitation to have a tour of the grandness !,just have a glance at the figures (source: TOI)
Statues of Mayawati +Kashiram worth Rs 6.68 crore.
60 marble elephants at the Ambedkar memeorial ,Gomtinagar,worth Rs 52 crore.
Rs 1,20,74,95,000 for gallery @ Ambedkar Samajik Parivartan Sthal ,Gomtinagar.
Rs 14 crore for construction of screen wall.
Rs 80 crore for maintainence of the memorial .
Rs 2,31,12,30,000 for strenghtening of the memorial.
Rs 2,03,49,12,000 for museum @ Parivartan Sthal ,Gomtinagar.
Rs 2,72,95,21,000 for Kashiram's memeorial,Jail Road.
Rs 90 crore for beutification of Kashi Ram Park.
I fail to scale out The U.P. budget this way !.Why do specific party leaders be statued as national leaders,over the cost of public land ?if they want to ,,they can well do so with their own salary ! Crores spent on building them ,,another crores spent on their removal by the following govt !Everytime I enter LKO in vacations ,i find some or the other grand new construction going on accross the route to home.I wonder what Gomtinagar would be afta 5 yrs ! Earlier Saharas poshed it and now......I dont criticize this step although yet you should atleast be foresighted enough in light of the consequences !
All this prevailing in a scenario when the country faces the inflation as - 1.14 in the second weekend too !The base effect seems to be bitterly taking its toll !
Moreso ,Air India continues to face a loss of approx 1.57 cr daily ; has erged its employees to help itself recover by cutting off salary ,perks etc. ..But seems to be helpless against the thaat - baat of the mantrijis ,the sarkaari trips ,their allowances etc.Adding to the trouble is the high price of ATFs .All this building up a crescendo ! Its high time that we pay heed to these issues .After all its our public money which is being wasted !
While people need to pay genuine attention to matters as above ,they seem to be brooding over other sub standard issues .
Ban over girls wearing jeans at Kanpur Degree colleges! However the students getting relief by the govt's support by lifting the ban !The principals asking the students not to wear such dresses as it looks provocative and attracts eve teasers.erghh ! what hypocrisy is that ? I wonder why girls at graduation wont be mature enough to understand their own welfare !every girl understands what a decent no- trouble dress comprises of .and even if one moods into exposure ..look at one if you like ..ignore if you dont !At a time when women are thinking out-of -box careers and travelling the world ,such bans seem a ridiculous move !I wonder how such stupid ideas strike people! The colleges must focus more on facilities they are offering and not on such inane bans in name of discipline.They should better correct on what they think ,not what they see !
The next issue being Delhi-Dilli name change !
controversy again ! mumbai-bombay,chennai-madras,calcutta-kolkata....the issue : history vs cultural correction .I fail to understand why one may compound confusion over names,with puzzlements over what n where is being talked of to visitors ,postal authorities ..Adding to the same ,the problem of variety of pronunciations !When India can have multi cultures,multi identities ,why cant it have multiple names?Call me Miss A,Miss Aristocrat ,Miss Angelina ..what care?Let Calcutta exist with Kolkata,Bombay with Mumbai,Madras with Chennai,Poona with Pune..AMreeka with America,Bilayat with Britain !! No big issue at all!!
Well ,issues are always around us..It remains on our part how we categorise them ..how we prioritize them..what is worth an issue ..whats not !
good ni 8 :)
now ,whether u sleep on sofa or bed or ...
thats again none of a issue ! he he :)
tk cre ,
bye for now !

Tracks !
Had a glance at the railway interim budget(2009-10) ! Ya..its substantial ! Laloo,the darling of Indian media,has always enjoyed media headlines in the last few years.The decision to glue to the basics witnessed Laloo delivering management lectures at Howard Business School in London,followed by IIM Ahmedabad and many others in the league.During the UPA reign Laaloo never forgot to pat him for having registered the never before profit for rail ministry.I would say..he is true indeed!If we see last five rail budgets,Laloo's unique selling proposition has remained 'Say no to rail fair hike' !No wonder,railway ministry was the first to implement the recommendations of Central Sixth Pay Commission for its employees!Railway stands unparallel in terms of number of the employment it provides.
Also, to mention !the Indian Railway-*tracks have added new feather in nation's pride after getting recognition for its 4th railway site,Kalka Shimla Mountain Railway as "World Heritage Site"! Hmm.. Laloo prasad Yadav! the surname being mine..I can guess people relating me to him ??:):)haha ..Well ma family has much been into politics.If I move 8-10 yrs back... OK !!lemme frame this out!
Parties and get-togethers organised for mantrijis n netajis with their fellows,ambassadors,red blue lights,body guards n chelas... all purposes of meetings and discussions! Linked and cross - linked ..chained political - social networks and affairs . The grand courtyard ..men sitting on the marble,under the huge neem ..talking of all stuffs ..ye party aisi,wo neita waisa,iski bahumat,uska vote, kaun sa candidate ..kitne vote..parche mohar ,,prachar-paisa ,public-janta ...shamiyana,mikes,stages..............people strateging their ideas ,plotting methods ,analysing rivalries etc etc..And Me , as a kid ..everytime I pass around the track*...I'm intoduced to ....."Inse mamaste karo beta !"rolled over like football in laps of people who finger-print on your cheek just to check its elasticity !"Eee..hatto ! nai !" ..I used to run away ! Mahindras,bikes,ambassadors ,gallons of tea-water ..nashta -snack all in -out !!In the scene..dozens of surrounding people! ...Ma, like a genuine north Indian bahu,late night cooking bundles of kachaudis n all for them all..who even kept on delaying wih their never-concluded affairs moving along! Me..like a naughty,stubborn-spoilt child roaming through the cross-sections of the home..everytime annoying ma with my stupid " Hi ma!! hallo ma!!",,even more like "Motu Uncle likes it...its his favourite !' and on the other side as well,"Baba ! who's your best friend among them all?"...so on and on !! And now..even afta so many years,though certified as a citizen,yet Iv never voted ! And even if ..... I may wonder "who to vote?"What if I flag along with my family's track???...and for a choice..Priyanka Gandhi ,my role model?:):) hehe!!Well ,for her I'd say ..she's really campaigning aggressively advocating Rahul Gandhi's genuiness and the building up of a young nation! However it is to be wondered if the Gaandhians can stretch their influence outside Amethi n Raibereily as well!Also ,in this scenario,bollywood stars sharing their cake in the elections .Now while Sanjay Dutt is forbidden to stand from LKO,lets see what Nafisa Ali has! I hope Hema-Malini,this time doesnt start her basanti* stuff during any manifestation .I wonder what people do ! ask votes for just anything n everything!I like Salmaan Khan's attitude here..who's been campaigning for all parties,it be NCP,BJP or Congress ! all at the same time !!kuch bhi kaho ! banda hai bhot mast ..n he's still so young !! :):) .he he ..all this I say in context with the pre-mentioned concept of the young - nation ..My special(late:))accolades to the Indian hockey team for the Azlan Shah cup,winning handsomely (3-1) against Malaysia in front of Malaysian crowd ..after a track* of 14 yrs ... rough patch n controversies behind the success! hmm good work boyz !!keep winning !
Jai Ho !!
watch the jai-ho video track * @ Nicol ..
till then,
baila-baila!!
I mean bye-bye:) astha

Pappu can dance!
What if my sasu-ma happens to see this?
"Bahu nachti achcha hai!!!"
and she ,through the dinning room ..taking all charms watching me n ma golu-polu husband do salsa on the kitchen floor ! with kaddu-aaloo serving good props :)ha ha!
Well,,dancers always have a one shoulder privilege..it be school-functions ..college fests..b'day parties ..discs or even ladies' programme in the colony..
Who does not like to dance..? and if you are a standard one..you catch eyes!
everyone wants to be in the group you choreograph..everyone likes you in the party..n you are certainly not short of a pair at any floor !
So,in all.....lots scope for the classified dancers,,but what about those who...."how to dance?"
Well....all you need to be is smart n hot....rest will follow on its own...get inspired from those mast-dance freakers...(specially male!)..who drink n dance .. at every spot.. it be yaar ke yaar ki party ..uska birthday ..ya fir uski shaadi.....they are so-so lively!!!
just have a look:
- They dont wait for people to ask them dance !
- They get on the floor mast - freestyle.
- Occupy maximum space..as much as they can...let others know of their competency to dance long in the party!
- They take all strokes..all types of gliding and walking ..
- They will stretch well - good ..hoppy ,zig-zag manner..give jolly ..sometimes a bit tired expressions... but wont lose heart :)
- They wont mind you striking or hurting...although will say sorry :)...only if they acknowledge !
- Some may not dance ..although ... yet everytime ask for a track change and will sing much - much aloud..take care you dont stand by their side!
- Many like thumkas n nautanki stuff approach ..in order to compensate for their dancing!
- Some do cheapo dance..others entertain ..try to be VaiyjantiMala with their girlfriend's stolls.
- A few would do patang - dance however...they'll fly their kite..leaving you wonder ...if there exists a real one in the scene !

WOMEN'S DAY !!
Respect all women....
care all women...
help all women..
guide all women..
honor all women..
try ! all women..
but!!!
love just one!
surrender just one!
-----------------------------------------
Women's day today!
and that is all for the male readers in this column!
of late !! did I turn 18 to......realize the genuineness of Women's Day this march..(Oh !! did I ?)
well :) the above is even additional to the men's column !! he he
Now while I scribble in for the women's day,,plz dnt treat me any mahila - samiti head or a part of NAARI-AANDOLAN...
The young girls have just discovered their freedom ,older ones not to be outdone are exploring theirs! and it remains to see what men make out of this.....For while a man will not hesitate to make the most of a woman's freedom outside home... will he be able to tolerate his girl's freedom outside his home?
Freedom ,self-respect ,esteem .self-dependence being their motto the girls are in constant mess with who they are..a nd what they want!while striving hard in a glitzy ,rose-tinted world of multiplex machismo.She works at office ..then her children at home..whom some husbands find burden to care out of laziness,busy time or........In worse cases...women suffering their mate's physical and mental ill -treatments.....their clients,female-secretories ,extra maritals....so on and on and the same old story in the end;the womwn assume martyr status in the end..
In the same pond ,is the other section who cvonfirms one's independence by doing all they want to ...not answerable to ..(say men!)...for the phone calls they pick,the people they meet and for the venues they attend!To them ,,men are not necessary coz they need them ,but because they want them.!
.....all this in pursuit of..... happiness?HOW HAPPY IS TODAY'S WOMAN??
would yoU say Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a happy woman ?? And even if she is not..who knows what she wants to be happy ??
Well ,, happiness being subjective..relates to one 's own internal self ..none other than you yourselves ! can define or claim your happiness..Your hapiness truly lies in your hands!:)
Thats it for now...
me signing off from home..
yes! reached home last night!:)
happy holi to all!
with luv

PUB-CULTURE
Of late there's been a fuss over the pub culture in course of the recent pub -attack on women by a group of hindu hardliners at Mangalore in an attempt of moral policing..This post of mine is in accord with the same..the all hype created over it and the true aspect of what is being understood of a pub culture.
Origin:From pub ,short for English pub house,which used to be a stop for carriages,where passengers could rest and get some refreshment.In contrast to private members' club...pubs were open to all!......an aspect of the British social life...a hang-out for people living in a local area.
Current usage:In India pub-culture has acquired negative connotations.It has come to signify women drinking and socialising in public.Reviled in the same way as Valentine's Day.
History:Pub culture's history has been ugly in India....its like anything which does not confirm to the perceived Indian values is tagged as pub-culture.
Quotations:Union health minister Anbumani Ramadoss has blamed the pub culture for the rise in the number of young people drinking alcohol.He said" If it goes this way ..India will not progress." Karnataka cheif minister B S Veddy urappa has said " pub culture is not a part of Indian culture...We will not allow this in Karnataka." source:Times ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ....had been out today..took ma lappy thrice to the service centre,,out of the hostel all the day...A home -made dinner ..all courtesy to a friend's parents (@ railway station,Jhansi)...had a bit with the newspaper and then watched unfaithful ....and since then upto now late midnight.. I've been browsing aimlessly....updates ,,latests,,drivers etc etc...all against this bloody wifii.
goodnight..
take care..
regards!!
