IN-(the) Pend Dance Day

Be a Rebel

The Mark of Jagan-Nath , Puri

As I walked towards the so Famous temple, I found myself staring in awe at the throngs of people, mostly older, following blindly the Pundas ( Pundits/ self procliamed..messengers of the almighty). As I was being pushed in the queue to enter the temple, I noticed "ONLY HINDUS ALLOWED" I kept looking at that for quite some time! The next 45 odd minutes passed pretty quickly, while I was absorbing the magnanimity of the temple. Ancient Rock Carved with sculptures of sexually explicit positions and Gods Goddesses The pantheon of Hindu Gods The blind ritualistic behaviour of people Offerings of Ghee and stuff to purify the sins It went on.. I moved out.. took a local bus to rush to Bhuvaneshwar / airport to cath my 2 'oclock flite! Surrounding by Oridya speaking local population, I was quite n amazement of being part of a country which is so so very diverse, not only in the surrounding but also in Language and cultures, and i am so lucky to be able to experiance so much in

Daman, no dew and VAPI(s)

It was quite an impromptu program! Akash was going to Vapi for work, and Daman is closeby and is famous for being a calm place to relax, not to miss out the fact that booze is cheaper! Though considerd, but made my mind just @ 4Pm and via home to andheri stn and bang 830 pm i was @ Vapi. It was a nice pre and post dinner party at the daman beach and we were back to the hotel, all expensives paid by Prominent ( Akash'z co.) Real day started today, when I started to go around on my own.. Solitude @ its best @ The pundit jee: As I was waiting for the last "sawari" for the shared cab from Vapi to Daman, there walks in the panditjee. The (quite) old man dresses in his white "dhoti" and kurta. White hair, along with a long "white Bodi" and small white stubble. Two long yellow teeth bulging out over his face. Quite a site ! Within minutes after sitting in the cab, the woderfull cell fone rings!!--&& And out from the pandit's Jhola comes out this

SMITTEN?

Yes, someone mentioned smitten, And i went into this swirl of thoughs .."When was it that I was smitten last?", Was that being smitten?? Or were all those so called crushes were even crushes? Or were they simply the a result od the deep-seated (animal Like) Human desire to bond/ to find a pairing partner? Those desires triggered by the clocked hormones pumped, mixed with ( what is rhetorically called) Peer pressure!!?? http://i-dea.blogspot.com/2006/01/mask.html#links Love?? The four letter word used to disguise anything and everything?! The four letter word covering everything from motherly love, to fucking around ! If we see from the eyes of the Anthropologist ( Desmond Morris, see link on the caption ) the famous autjor of the Naked Ape Triology: Where he wonderfully disects the human species like any other !! Not just on the physical front, no! But on the Physio-Social front. He goes on amazingly to tell how and why " the naked ape" desires to bond, fulfills hi

BaanGanga Festival / Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia

A lifetime experiance!! It was an amazing lifetime experiance, with the maestro with his flute and the beautiful water with lights shimmering, and white ducks wading through the water and trying to do the "Jugalbandi " with the Pandit Two days of rhythm and raga at Banganga festival Mumbai: Brass bells in the 23 temples surrounding the 12th century Banganga tank had begun to chime for the evening aarti, the conch shells soon joined in, the white ducks swum to one dark corner and waited. The stage was set for the 14th edition of the Banganga Festival in Walkeshwar, jointly organised by the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) and the Indian Heritage Society-Mumbai (IHS). Inaugurated by state governor S M Krishna and tourism minister Vijaysingh Mohite-Patil, the festival has lined up performances by artistes Padmavibhusan Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia (flute) and Veena Sahasrabuddhe (vocals) over two days of rhythm and music. The crowd was still trickling in w

The Mask

REMOVE YOUR MASK Behind every personality, behind every mask, is a character that is your God-given uniqueness, says Barry Long Along, long time ago, when human beings were not so fixed in their physical bodies as they are today, there lived a man who made for himself a marvellous mask that could pull many faces. The man used to put on the mask and entertain himself by accosting people and watching their reactions. Sometimes the mask would be laughing, sometimes crying, sometimes grimacing and scowling. His victims were always shocked at the sight of such an extraordinary, unnatural, unfamiliar face — even when it was smiling. Whether they laughed or cried made no difference to him. All he wanted was the excitement of their reactions. He knew he was himself behind the mask. He knew he was the joker and that the joke was on them. At first, he’d pop out with the mask on a couple of times a day. Then, as he got used to the excitement and wanted more, he began wearing the mask the whole da

The Goal

Eliyahu M Goldratt. I got this wonderful training program of Theory of Constraints. A very interesting concept of how to achieve any Goal , using the tehory of Constarints Though there was beautiful movie about how a production problem is suceesfully overcome, and most of the discussion was around using Concerto ( Critical Chain Project management), We beautifully discussed the three laws which we consider during project management Murphy's law ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy ) "Anything That Can Possibly Go Wrong, Does" Student Syndrome refers to the phenomenon that many people will start to fully apply themselves to a task just in the wake of a deadline . This leads to wasting any buffers built into individual task duration estimates . It was noted by Eliyahu M. Goldratt in his book, Critical Chain . Retrieved from " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_syndrome " It was the first one that really got me pretty interested!!

The Secret Of Happy Singh

This is more about the un-usual Sinusodical wave pattern of human mind. Usually people do feel low and at times very HAPPY. Rahul , mentioned over chat last week, "Why do I feel that you feel more sad?" The same opinion has been seconded by Ethan, quite a few times. And while I was having a loong talk with My sis Richa Chhabra, trying find out what was challenging her so much that she was stressed out. I was explaining her a wodersful technique from "Awaken the giant within, by Anthony Robbins" and realised the sooner i apply the same the better it would be So here goes You would have noticed that some people are happier than others, where as others crip and cry more, so to say they are more SAD The very simple solution being that the HAPPIE People have LONGER HAPPY lists and SAD People HAve LONGER SAD lists HAPPY List: Enlist on a peice of paper:- what all things/ events/ situations/ environments make you happy SAD list Do the same as above and replace happy with s
