COLOURED LIFE !!!

I was sitting idle..... doing nothing....No, not that I had nothing to do ! In fact I had a fantastic reason for not doing anything...'too much work ........don't know where to start from?'
I tried to talk to my daughter, but at times children play adults! she simply ignored me. She was busy with her drawing...all the crayons, colour tubes and brushes were there on the floor..... Different colours pulled some strings in my mind.....I tried to relate those colours to the events of my life..........

Blue--- Colour of the universe!
To be here as the wisest creation of God in the form of human being.

White-- Honesty and sincerity!
- To live life peacefully with best of my ability.

Red--- Moments of anguish and anxiety!
- Making mistakes and then regreting them.

Pink--- Health!
- No major health problem for the family(*touchwood*).

Yellow--Satisfaction!
- Be able to be happy with life's little pleasures....believing in my own ability and work.

Green-- Pride and Richness!
- To be able to *create* two wonderful daughters!

Gray-- Failures!
- Moments of trying hard and not getting desired results.

Saffron--Courage!
- I think I am not a coward, some fighting spirit is there in me.

Then there will be a complete 'BLACK-OUT' when death will be meeting me, making my life whole!! Till then I am enjoying these different shades of life.....

Again.......

Just few days ago I talked about blogs and blogging and now velu nair extended another question paper to me! So this time doing it for him.....

1. Are you happy / satisfied with your blog, with its content and look?
A With my write ups I want the reader to think and smile a bit, nothing else.....so with my content I think I am quite happy!! and with my limited knowledge of technical aspects of blogs, I can manage only this much! ...so I think I am satisfied...

2. Does your family know about your blog?
A.Ofcourse yes! though initially my younger daughter was unhappy as me and my elder daughter used to talk about blogs and she felt alien..but now she askes me " any thing new at your blog ?".....

3. Do you feel embarrassed to let your friends know about your blog or you just consider it as a private thing?
A. Not at all..I don't write any thing which can make me embarrassed....I don't consider it as a private thing..

4. Did blogs cause positive changes in your thoughts?
A. I don't think that blogs caused any change in me or so...perhaps I need to ask to my family and friends if they see any change in me!!

5. Do you only open the blogs of those who comment on your blog or you love to go and discover more by yourself?
A. I do open the blogs of those who comment on my blog , but I comment there only for the post and not for the blogger..so I find it difficult to comment on reciprocal basis..Yes I read many many blogs!!

6. What does visitors counter mean to you? Do you care about putting it in your blog?
A.1570 hits, that is a small number in 8 months of blogging I know...... but with my modest educational and social background, I have done a decent job!!

A. No I don't imagine their appearance....

8. Admit. Do you think there is a real benefit for blogging?
A. Well, I am confused!!

10. Does criticism annoy you or do you feel it’s a normal thing?
A. Depends...........

11. Do you fear some political blogs and avoid them?
A. Yes..

12. Did you get shocked by the arrest of some bloggers?
A. I missed that news....If it did happen, it's sad...

13. Did you think about what will happen to your blog after you die?
A. Hmmmmmmm very interesting question......My soul will feel good if one day I would see my grandchildren (and may be some kids of my fellow bloggers!!)flipping through some of my posts. wow !! what a great thought!!!!

14. What do you like to hear? What’s the song you might like to put a link to in your blog?
A. I would love to hear sssooooo many hindi songs......one of them would be "allah ke bande-----" by kailash kher.

A Call For Bapuji
(written on 03-10-02)

Bapuji, Why you have arrived that much before?
Today we need you even more.
Politicians are concerned with only the vote,
Police and criminals are sailing in same boat.
No voice is reaching up to the leaders,
Laws are special for rich,money-makers!
Ministers are busy with their starched dresses,
Can't you see the stunned Indian faces ?
Bureaucrats are lying,
Hopes are flying,
Poor are crying,
Farmers are dying.
Common Indian man is left alone,
Nothing else but he is following your “Moun”.
Oh! Bapu! What else you want to know ?
Come! Please guide us where to go ?
Your own nation is in great pain,
If it is possible, come back again.
