Confusion over Conclusion


It was Friday and I was returning to home from office in my office bus... It was a windy, cloudy and stormy evening… but it was picturesque, especially the horizon; it had being painted in golden orange color ... And I really loved it! then suddenly it started raining... Rather it was pouring so heavily as if cloud burst… Rain drops were end up thrashing so hard on the window pane… as if they wanted to break it;  and I wish it could had happened because I wanted rain to come down around my face… btw it didn’t happen… however the pane was shivering out of fear with making some annoying sound! And I really felt pity on pane! After countless strikes… the rain finally stopped. I again saw at window pane… now it was much quiet than before... and the rain which were striking it few minutes back now scattered in making millions of drops on it.. Whenever a headlight flashes on the pane, the closely stick drops were glittering like side of a dupatta worn by woman which is flooded with countless stars … it looked so pretty that I wanted to capture it… but couldn’t! While I was busy in watching this beautiful scene... something deviated me... and the cause was this tiny little drop which was sliding down slowly on the window pane from top of it to the down... and few centimeter below of it I could see one more little drop which was stick so tightly to the pane as if it is waiting for the earlier one and doesn’t want to slide down… suddenly the first drop which was sliding down struck the other one waiting down… and because of this course of action two things happened at a same time.. Two drops merged with each other and created a new big drop… this is what makes me confused… I am not able to conclude this event because I am not sure what happened exactly, I should end up it saying whether both the drops lost their selves or a new drop got life… which one should be given more highlight? To those who have given their sacrifices or to the one who receives a new life? Someone’s pain is another’s gain? Hope some day I’ll get answer to this but for now what I understood is… “Destruction of one’s identity is somewhere related to the construction of an entity”... this is what a life is all about….

Googol.. making fun of India’s Bhoogol( Geography)!!

I had written one post about Chinese intrusion in India, you can find it in my previous post list. This post is just continuation of that post and is not on China vs India, but on Google, the company that is having a row with the Chinese over censorship and allegations that the dragon nation used gmail to hack into important networks outside China. And no, I am not defending Google in its fight against the Chinese censorship. As long as it is not my nation, I am not bothered by how another nation handles its censorship issues. 
Ohh… I am going off-track!! Let me bring my focus back on Google. China, with the largest internet users' base, is an important market for any Internet company. Google is no exception. And in its business interests, the company does all that is necessary to be good to the country it operates in. Hence, Google, bluntly put, makes a fool of both Indians and Chinese… And how is being done? Just take a look at the maps shown below and watch carefully the red color circled area… compare all three maps… and I am quite sure you won’t need any explanation!  
If you open the Google maps' China edition available at http://ditu.google.com, Arunachal would show itself as an undisputed part of China, the whole of Arunachal Pradesh on Google maps.

The point ‘A’ shown here inside the circle is ‘Arunachal Pradesh’!!… and it is clearly visible that it is in Chinese territory!! 
For the uninitiated, Arunachal is a disputed territory between the two nations, with both laying claim to its territory, notwithstanding India's greater claim to it given the fact that it has a democratically elected government in place for years now.
And if you open Google India on http://maps.google.co.in, is politically correct and our fellow citizens from Arunachal Pradesh can, thankfully, still call themselves Indians.


The real fun begins when it comes to opening the map available on the international edition at http://maps.google.com.


You can see the dotted lines above Arunachal Pradesh… The dotted lines are symbol of showing disputed areas... Huh!! Jai ho Google Devtaa ki!!... Everybody is happy now!!
 I think we have a right to demand that Google, since it operates from India and has considerable business interests here, make changes and not try to pretend to keep everyone happy when in reality is making a fool of everyone.
It doesn’t end up here… the same story is with Indo-Pak border… and guess what… narrated  again by our very own Google!!!!

Resemblance with Happiness...


While I truly believe that fighting for someone that you love is noble, sometimes you end up wondering why you even tried fighting so hard... Things seem to get lost in all of the pride that you swallow and there is no happiness left in what you do. As for now, I am ready to take that new road and do what I want for me...
I admit that I have not been the perfect lover... but mostly because I couldn't even be me anymore... I was unable to express what I had become, and that caused me to make plenty of mistakes... I wish I could say that I regret everything that I ever did since, but I have started to feel that what happened has made it more clear as to why things didn't work... All in all, I need to stop being scared of being alone and settling for something that isn't good enough... I am in no way saying that you aren't a good person, you just aren't for me... I think the worst mistake I made was giving a second chance.
Word of the wise: do what makes you happy.
......... Some random feeling, thought of sharing :) ...........
