How many times have you squirmed when you made a mistake ?Feared ridicule and shouting from the stakeholder? And on the flip side – how many times have you screamed your lungs out on someone who made a mistake?

Did you stop to think what must ve gone through their mind? Or what scar are you leaving in their mind which might manifest for the rest of their lives? Or did you never care or bother or even had the time to do that thinking?

Well if not, its time you do.Lets see what makes people commit mistakes and how we can handle it.?

Ugly Duckling

How many times have you felt good when some one complimented the way you look so good ? How many times you felt it just made your day? How many times have you smiled when you ve ben made to feel beuatiful.?

Spare a thought then,for those who are not beautiful according to mass consensus? Simply because beauty is indepedent of definition. But for the sake of argument,let us assume we take a generic acceptable social norm – fairer the better.

This is 2012 – and the context is still relevant, and there lies the problem – are we evolving?Or are we degenrating our minds at an alrming rate owning to downright insensitivity?

Inheritance of a loss

“If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail” – Maslow

Each passing loss of the Indian cricket team, the administrators are making the same mistake over and over again. Someday the BCCI will realise the power of people which has hitherto worked for them,to make the richest sporting body after perhaps FIFA, can also be the reason for their downfall. The loss will not only bring a roaring business to its knees, but also mess with the morals of an entire generation of cricket lovers.

If not – then we continue to inherit one losing team after the other.

So how do you stop this inheritance of loss ?

Don2 watch it !

SRK ki movies dekhna mushkil hi nahi balki ab toh na-kabil-e-bardasht ho gayin hai.!

After much anticipation Don2 hit the screens last Friday, and instead getting a ripper, we,the audience, come out with a feeling of being ripped off.

Don2 screams of a wanna be action thriller, with glitter glamour and much more but how does it pan out ?

Upbringing

How many times have you wondered how to bring up your child?

Based on what values ? Especially in this world of dynamic changes every second what do we hold on to as our single source of truth? What do we hold on to for our central value system? Or is it that we are not supposed to have one in the first place?

The most difficult aspect of a parents life to figure out how to bring up the child where the end result of such efforts is positive.Where people  around appreciate what a wonderful man or woman they have turned out to be.And it just does not end there – when the same kids grow up they have a million things to complain about how their parents never understood them while bringing them up !

Rockstar – The Rock Hits You.

• Come on Baby light my fire.
• People are strange
• Five to one
• Peace Frog
• Riders on the storm

If these do not make sense to you don’t  bother your friendly Janardhan Jakhar from Pitampura in Delhi whose family owns a transport business , who incidentally cannot speak much legible english, will explain it to you. That is surely rock star material for you.Now I dont intend to sound judgemental here,but you must realise the odds of that happening are next to zero.

The movie therefore is something quite similar to that analogy.I have tried to write a very objective review of this much talked much hyped movie in recent times.

Unapologetically Hot

The recent brouhaha around Vidya Balan’s new movie Dirty Picture has got the moral pundits going gaga !

Is it  really worth it? Is there something to worry or is it someone’s individual choice – right to freedom of expression ?

What are the emotions that parents go through? What battles do they fight?  What battles do the stars fight?

Why does one need to be apologetic about sexuality ? Read about it here
