Horoscope or HorrorScope

If someone just asks you, Are you Gemini, or Cancer , you will reply back. Yeah, can't you see I am best. Offcourse, I am Gemini. I have split personality which i carried for 25 years of my life. The features i boast of and the things I learnt to live with for those whom I didnt have an explanation. I like so many others read my next year fortune just to get this junk floating everywhere today. Your horoscope has changed. Suddenly I am a Taurus. The detailed list of new sunsigns are : 


Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16.
Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11.
Pisces: March 11-April 18.
Aries: April 18-May 13.
Taurus: May 13-June 21.
Gemini: June 21-July 20.
Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10.
Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16.
Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30.
Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23.
Scorpio: Nov. 23-29.
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20.

And another Ophiuchus dimension. So many of my friends just are new born babies, were possibly outcast at beginning of civilization. The only sign that represents a real man. All my prior understanding of a wonderful 12 sun signs is gone. Are all the astrologers who predict future were not able to predict that a new sign will come in existence soon. How can my astrologer be so sure of my cards in 2011 when he ceased to know I am no longer a gemini. 

It is upon us to either accept the new changes or keep on going the way it is. There might be a new column added to the existing 12 constellations. 13 constellations, even the destiny is against me, it seems. As much as I don't like that number, I don't like being pushed to believe new sun sign. I might accept someday that I am taraus, but the personality in me can't change overnight. It just can't change because the position of sun and earth have changed a fraction of second. I can on other hand do believe if its the way of life, and pretty sure , we will have many more zodiacs coming up the sky. Few more changes, and may be I will have my sign back since the position of sun , moon earth , the solar system and universe in itself keeps on changing. 

I might believe the scientists someday, but as of now and this year in particular , I am What I am , and Gods above make sure I get the taste of new sign for remaining 2 years. These astrologers also claim world will end in 2012, so the way I laugh off that concept, I will happily laugh over this one. Make sure you let horoscope be a horoscope and not let it become a horrorscope 

The Boring YouTube

Ever since the concept of online webcast of movies , television serials and other media has hit the market, new companies have cropped up to take the advantage. Latest is the netflix , but then YouTube is probably the most popular. The reason, its free. Is it. There are so many reason of late , I have stopped appreciating the content on Youtube, even though it boasts of new features as themes and HD quality.
There are absolutely no genuine work available, most of the things I want to listen to are under copyright details. My friend in India can watch the same clip which I can not. If you are able to find a video worth watching, it comes starts with a mandatory advertisement. Top it of, there is an advertisement always playing in bottom of the screen.
I would have imagined youtube to make a big name, but its not. A popular song search results with everything but the original song / artist. There are thousands of crap results. People singing in most unbearable voices have it up the result list.
Google needs to come up with a better method to make me stick to it. Else there will be a big following of people , right out of youtube. Just like what happened to Orkut, will happen to Youtube , and you never know , to gmail itself too. High time Google searches its success mantra, or may be it gets binged.

happy budday Sanjana

Diye jo wishes tujhe
woh tere budday per
hazaro khawhishein
poori karein teri 

sawera jab hoye ,
to phool mile tujhe 
jo raat aayi to
sitaare kadamo mein .... 

Koyi nagma aaj goonja
ki kab duniya mein
yeh tu aayi
kahin chatki kali koyi
main yeh samjha, tu muskai,
koyi candle kahin boojhi,
laga huwi cake cutting ...


Likhe jo khat tujhe...

Fiza rangeen, adaa rangeen
yeh ithlaana, yeh sharmaana
yeh angdhaayi, Yeh tanhaayi
yeh tarsa kar, chale jaana
bana de ga nahi kisko
jawaan jadoo yeh deewana

Diye jo Wishes Tujhe .... 

jahan budday hai, wahan masti hai
mere dil ki yeh wishes hai 
mauj masti ka jo aalaam hai 
main pyaasa hoon mujhe treat do 
teri duniya ke sab nazare jo
kabhi soche ho woh ab sach ho

Fir se ...

It has been years I started to write. The blog itself is years old, and for each time I want to believe that world is a better place to live in , I find waking up to news of bomb blasts. What is the deal. Where is the pleasure. Where is weakening economy. Where is terror. It has become a habit, More than

Friends .... more than friends is you

Friends, are people who are there. Friends are those who help us in bad times , who land us in bad times , who cry with us, sometimes make us cry

Where to Investment

I have always read in all the books all the times, money makes more money. But how. You don't keep money in a locker, and it grows. But you can keep a ton of gold in your locker and it may grow. But to do something , you will need to use your money well. You don't need to invest. You need to invest wisely. But invest, where ?
I have been thinking of it for a few months now. Studying the stocks , the markets , the different metals , and even the website market. I went to extent to find out how will the app store work. The conclusion :
1. Gold : Investment in gold can be done at any given point. But there are speculations the prices of gold will go down with weakening dollar. Google the gold reports for last 10 years, Gold stands strong. The prices may vary over a month span , but look year on year, gold is sure winner. Gold will fetch returns but not sky rocket initially. Say , i buy gold worth $1000.00 , and in next 2 months it reach a level $2500. Now when i sell the Gold, i make a flat profit of 150%, but if i want to reinvest , i will have to purchase it at price in market which will always be either  2500 or greater. Means , then i will be incurring a loss on me. Or then , i will buy $100000 worth gold and sell it again. This cant go on long term at short term basis, you will end up losing more money than making it
2. Stocks : we all have GOOD friends who are doing good in stocks. Don't jump into stock business holding his finger. Start experimenting. Put in a little money and keep yourself updated with the news. If Lehman brothers can crash , dont believe Google or Apple wont. Nothing is forever. Invest in one and make money , invest but diversify. Remember it eats up lots of your energy to keep a track of stocks
3. Websites : Now this is utter nonsense , as many of my friends reading this will say. How many readers we have on laptop. What percentage population of software engineers read news , blogs , facebook or play games. What limits the future kids. You can take an eye off but the future generations won't. The technologies will keep on evolving, we still have a scope for a billion more website names, but will be exhausted by good ones. One of my friends , stocked up a a good quantity of names (from www.spinyourwords.com) and ended up selling it for good amount over leading online auction site. That is an option to go for when you have less money to risk and anticipating the future. Not an option for all people.

Where to invest now :)

Build up

As it happens , so it did. The life took as expected an unexpected path to redefine my marital status. It was all set , the wedding place booked, the invitations nearly ready, gifts purchased

Jab We Met

Boy meets girl in a coffee shop and a saga begins. "Ek nazar mein bhi pyar hota hai, maine suna hai" - seems to be coming true.


Its almost a year since we met, but its seems like it was yesterday. Every word of our conversation is fresh in our minds. It felt like "Na jaane kyun, hota hai ye zindagi ke saath, Achanak ye mann, kisike jaane ke baad, kare phir uski yaad, chhoti chhoti si baat".


One look into Anshu's majestic eyes told me "She is the one for me". "Is jahan ki nahi hai tumhari aankhein, Asmaan se yeh kisne utari aankhein".


But nothing was set in stone and with Anshu's India trip, things slowed down. Deepak's calls in India, kept some flame ignited. It felt like there was a connection.


Anshu's return to the country, felt like "Kehte hain agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho, Tou saari kayanath tumhe usse milane ki koshish me lag jaati hai". There our lives took a new turn and we broke the news to our families. Aag dono taraf barabar lagi thi and Apr 10th, 2010 ko aap sabne milke humein hamari chahat se mila diya". Thank you ! "Kitne hi door door hon, hum donon ke raaste, Mil jaate hain jo bane, ek duje ke vaaste. Ek duje ke vaaste" !!


Now its feels like "Tera mujhse hai pehle ka naata koi, Yunhi nahi dil lubhata koi" and "Kaise mujhe tum mil gaye, kismat pe aaye na yakin".


Finally, "Mere haath mein tera haath ho, Saari jannatein mere saath ho,
Tu jo paas ho, phir kya yeh jahaan, Tere pyar mein ho jaaun fanaa" !!! 


-- In own words by Anshu , and one of the best things to be posted on this blog ...

The Saint Who Drank .....

Its a time when not many are looking forward to have a religious life, may be a bit more on the spiritual side. But this does not still negate the need of having a connection to the God, or to the inner self. Can I term it as a connection to the spirit as being spiritual. Lets not do it now. Lets assume we want to get spiritual, and we have different ways to do it. We tend to imagine the power rays in the world universe to concentrate and do it back in the backyard of immense energy that our soul possesses. We have estimated that an average brain uses only 7% of what is is capable of, and still we know so much, or assume we do. Same is the case with spiritualism. Each one has his own interpretation, each one of us is right, because its one's own belief. Its not something that comes out from an idol or sky or dead sea, its the devotion one has. To blindly listen to few speeches on spirituality, after listening to few great saints, and integrating that thought to extent that one knows more than universe is wrong. Its alarming infact. Many would not like htis article teaching others as to how to get the things going, but I have myself seen people trying to do a particular yoga to get best wavelengths out of u.What would have happened if humans had wings , then we must be looking deep in earth and praying. Why we often look up and pray, is trying to connect God in sky. Is he really that far. Is he not with you, if he is to exist.
The God is pure, he can just do nothing wrong. He does not steal in childhood, he does not has any element of jealousy , he does no felony, all his actions are marked pure since he is God and must be doing for a good cause. I happen to stumble on saints in India, few of them had hookah with them, and few drink bhang (the drink of lord). Then there are other ways of getting intoxicated and reaching out to God, the lord above . Have you ever met a person who says he can connect to God , ask him if he is pure. Why do i see people connecting to God, getting them intoxicated in a way , like smoking something or drinking. Is it the God's way. Probably not. Its a way to connect to yourself. You always know whats good and whats not, but you dont have courage to do it. Sometimes you might need it, but you may not. Most saints who dont have any fear are often found in serene white silence, speaking less often, trying to connect to themselves (they themselves might term it connecting to superpower above). The fact is our mind and our human body are a combined energy power house,  too difficult to cope with if let it go free. People who are able to exceed the limits of normal brain usage are not too hard to find. They might not be successful like CEO of company or creator of social networking website. That is just an idea that worked, the whole idea of using brain power to predict and mould the life for better society is the spiritual self.
Once you have reached to a level where you can see not you but the world world at center, you will not be the saint who drank .

Tell me

tell me i cant do it , and i will prove u wrong ... tell me u can also do it, i will help u ... tell me we both cant do it, i will make u believe we can do it ... tell me there is no tomorrow, and i can tell you its already next day in India , when i am still a date behind in here .... so dont think where u r , think what you want to do. Dont think how you landed here, think how you can use this place to be launchpad for future. Don't be contented when a goal is reached, use it as inspiration for next level.  Dont think you have struggled to reach this place, think you will glide on from here. Smoking to get rid of tension, it will smoke you out of life, don't think about me next time you smoke. Think of your loved ones. If you do that, remember you can for rest of your life boast about it. Tell me you can do it. Gained a lot of weight, easy eating hard getting rid of it. Eat less , exercise more, dont count calories. Tell yourself you can do it. there is no more motivation than self motivation. Tell me you can do it.
the path is hard , the life is harder. To win over the world is a challenge, to win over loved ones should be a passion, and to win over onself the aim. Tell me you can do it, and if you are not sure, stand with me , and we will do it .

Dictionary you should carry

Throughout my life I have grown up learning new words from so many languages. New and glorious words, but few words were easy to learn, and hard to implement. I now understand, we all have our own dictionaries. I used to laugh when I read the statement, "I dont have impossible in my dictionary", and replied it with, "Brother, someone gave you a sub standard one", or "you need to learn how to read it".
I realize its time now when we need to know how to really read that dictionary. The words we should carry with us most of the times, and words we should just forget as aging process of a human brain should be re-defined. I can't tell for sure what words are needed for one particular person, few things are clear. Words like hatred, jealousy, terrorism and dis-respect should be shunned.Words like friendship, trust , respect , understanding, mutual prosper and victory for all be promoted
