Angdee Birds ..:)

Squawk, virtually..!!!

I first heard of this game from my 3 year old cousin. He kept badgering his dad to hand over his iPad to him. "Angdee Birds, I want " was his refrain. I watched him as he slung 'angdee' birds at grunting pigs. And he wanted me to give him a five every time a pig combusted.

Nostagic...:)

( My first speech in English during my eighth grade for Independence day)

The word "patriotism" brings a biased thought in many people. Is patriotism only laying one's life for one's own country?? No, not at all. Patriotism also includes doing one's own duty correctly and paying reverence to the country. The essence of patriotism is selflessness, a sense of belonging towards the country, a will to make small sacrifices for the good of the society at large.

Don't make it a one day program...!!

 I always wonder about tying a thread for protection on Rakshabandhan. Aren't there many other ways to express our immortal love? This festival is actually commercialised today. Why should we limit our love to just one day..??? In a country where molestation, female infanticide is rampant..these festivals don't have any significance.

The month of hope and hoopla

Come Aadi and the wind blows scores of freebies literally sweeping the consumers of their feet.The month of Aadi surely makes its mark in retail therapy. People feel happy returning with bag loads of "good and comfort buys"- items presumably at a lower price. And for the shopaholics like me, it is actually a mini Diwali. Call it the mood enhancer or grabbing the oppurtunity, an outing to the busy markets during this month is almost like a not-to-be-missed shopping event.

Log out of the Internet for a while this Sunday..!!

"Yup, we are in touch on FB" is what we often say these days when someone enquires about a friend. In today's world, when just a click connects you to anyone on the other side of the globe, the words 'friend' and 'friendship' have assumed a differrent meaning. Familiarity no longer matters,as a few minutes of online chat with a total stranger can see him or her joining your long list of 'friends'.

Menu-gateway to adventure

Many believe that the menu is the most superfluous part of a restaurant. And the way most people use it, I find it difficult to disagree with this statement.

Think about it....Without fail, we all open the menu card and read it from cover to cover or end to end, whichever the case with great ceremony. And end up ordering what we always order. There's a whole world hidden away in that slightly laminated card..!! Alas, we lack the courage to try something new. And so reading the menu has become simply a ceremony.
