The balloon of inflation and a small pin

While I was reading about inflation, the majorly affected items are food and related products. The decline in the production of agricultural sector is the main reason for this. No matter how much subsidy you provide, how much base rates you decide, unless a technology revolution comes up in the agri sector, the production is not going to pick up. In terms of agricultural contribution, the following states in India are the most developed states: Punjab Uttar Pradesh Madhya Pradesh Haryana Bihar Andhra Pradesh Maharashtra West Bengal Which means, the rice growing states are lagging behind in technology part of it. [Well, West Bengal produces rice but consumes most of it there itself.] This is exactly why the wheat eaters are not as affected as the rice eaters down south. I found the break up of effect in a major magazine I went through recently. It is not the supply that has gone up. Food is always a necessity. The growing population makes it evident that the demand is increasing. But th...

Namma Metro

Yes, the namma metro [our metro] is finally here! The thing that attracted me the most is obviously the name. Namma Metro. Our Metro. Not just metro but our metro. Not your[public's] metro, but ours! The project has been in pipeline for 2 decades if you calculate the time from the conceptualization of the idea. The best part is, since I have personally experienced the traffic of Bangaluru, the best result I can imagine from this project is that the traffic will be unclogged. Since the service will take care of saving time, fuel and uncongesting roads, this sells by itself. But why was a branding done? For one, it brands Bangalore long term. And then, if you need an international standard [I do not know if it really meets the international standard - am yet to use it], you better brand it internationally. The internet savvy youngsters, who would surely 'google' the same, will find a well maintained official site with details about people [well, very good profiles that too],...

Soul Mates and Jigsaws?

A soul mate is not someone like you. He is the jigsaw puzzle that looks nothing like you but together, you make a perfect picture!

Ours!

I can look at the moon and see your face in there. I can count all the stars and it is all your goodness counted. I can sing with the birds and its all poems for you dear. I can mess with the morning and say, it is all for my lover. Then it is all day, thinking of you and our baby. This li'l thing growing, and wake you up glowing. I look at the moon now, I see your face in there. The baby is smiling and its a part of our life now.

Eloquent Aches

My heart aches for you, The body whines. Like never before, Your kiss strangles me for breath Your name, gives a shock. I do not know what you have thought for us. But I know, it is not just you But me with you. Us, together. This life, its essence, I found it in you. Your shoulders, Your gentle eyes... I found peace and happiness in them. Your love, I never expected it to be so intense That it burns me. that it gives me a meaning for life. Lights up my heart and blooms my world. Nights, days, sleepless and restless. Twist, turn, close, open. Waiting for the day you will be mine. The day, not just our hearts, but our inner souls too will be together forever. will be together forever. Dedicated to one of those reader turned friend who still calls me Durga :) Thanks :)

Some times I wonder... [Well, I always do.] Why dont people give up? Even when they know it is a lost cause... Man is prey to what they call 'hope'. It keeps his heart beating. Some times, the hope in itself is a futile one. Yet, man lives for it. Mom hopes her challenged child will soon lead a normal life. A teen hopes to find true love. An entrepreneur, the right platform. And it goes on and on. 1 in 1000 succeed. And this inspires yet others and the chain continues. A Steve Jobs inspires a million to try. But how many in that million will actually succeed? Nobody really thinks of those facts. Everyone 'hopes' that it will all work out. I myself am prey to hopes about some incorrigible situations. Everybody is. Some times, things are too much that I break. I break like a bone under the truck. It hurts like hell and pieces never mend properly. But then, the eagle that never tried, never flew, A lot of people around me, I see are more talented than me. Some, way ...
Restlessness is not a sign of joblessness. It is a sign of abundance of energy.
