INDEPENDENCE DAY alias KITE FLYING DAY

15 august is India independence day.

Come to Delhi ( Capital of India ) and you will see kites in the sky like birds all over.This was the first time that i saw a kite flying event at such an enthusiastic and large scale.

I can compare it with any other big festivals ( Holi, Deepawali ). On 15th August i was at my relative's house ,my mausi's house where i usually visit to get a feel of home environment where I am away from all the worries.Mausi has 4 children's and they are my source of inspiration for getting there on a holiday or weekends.

On 15th august there was the same enthusiasm in the childrens that they will wake upat 5:30 in the morning to fly the kites.I laughed at the thought that these small childrens will wake up with sun.But they proved it wrong when i woke up in the morning ,they were already on the terraces making there kites ready for the battle.On every terrace you could see a bunch of people,the whole family, preparing for the day with decks in full sound.All the day was full of excitement watching and flying the kite.I also tried my hand with kite flying and could get many of them ( Kati patang ).

In the evening i could feel that i enjoyed it more than any festival.We can say that people were enjoying India's freedom with the freedom of the kites like we celebrate deepawali with all diya's and lighting around.

Hoooooo Haaaaaa India !!!!!! We all are feeling bad about the india's loss in world cup cricket but there are some people who have won because india couldn't make it to the super eight. I don't know what makes them so happy...whether its about the cricketers who are getting the fame at its best or about the TV channels that they are not able to watch during these days. There is always a misconception about that the people who are watching cricket are losing there valuable time and if your team loses than its nothing more than a time waste. This may be a time waste for them but for a cricket lover every ball makes his heart beat fast. Although india team loses our spirits have not been broken down.With same enthusiaam, my friends n me play cricket every morning. This practice makes us so fresh for the whole day that we love to continue. In morning when small childrens are waiting for their school buses we go away waving our bats and stumps in front of them and i feel that mo...

GHAR ghar ki kahani.... w e are friends living in an apartment in govindpuri. It is a long time since we all are together like the same college days.And when you see our house you will get all the feel and essence of a hostel room,although the valuables in the room have changed ( we all are now a salaried person ). If i will describe our house in words,u will definitely feel that we are living in miserable conditions with the invasion of cockroaches in our home everywhere. we are living in a condition where we have to fight for everything ,including basic needs.There is always a water shortage ,especially in our house bcoz somehow our water pump or our tank gets us into some problem. But every problem teaches you something. ( Tough times never last ,but tough people do ) we survived for one week without water ,doing all our daily activities ,somehow with jugaad,U will not see any sweeper in our house or any cook.We have tried to be sustainable with all our resources. And when we are su...

SHANI BHAGWAN IN DIFFERENT FORMS what you see in the photograph is shani god and we can see the god in different forms in nehru place......these are just the replica of bhagwan shani which are can be made from anything a tinsheet,a cardboard,a wooden plate etc. and it should somehow resemble the shani god...u can see this on saturdays at every corner in nehru place ( largest hub for computer parts ) where u can take out the data from a broken harddisk, from anywhere.....the speciality in computer parts makes this market one of the biggest electronics market in india and i think in asia also.... here you can see mouse,keyboard like dust everywhere scattered and the technicians play with them as if they are not so complicated ( what seems to me).....i have my pc which i brought from my home but it doesn't work...i took my whole cpu for repair to nehru place with so delicate hands that nothing should get the jerk or broke down.....but when i gave it to one of the technician he dismant...
