D for Deep Thinking

Image
By
After a healthy dose of Kungfu Panda 3, I have come to the conclusion that human beings got it all wrong. The reason for our existence should not be to rule the world as a supreme species. It should be to just Be. Like those lovable pandas.

Meaning, that when we send kids to school, it shouldn't be to learn. It should be to soak in some sun, roll on the grass and tickle and poke others.

Meaning, that when we enter the kitchen, it should be to cook what we love and eat that again and again and again. Dumplings for Pandas. Bhindi for me.

Meaning, that when we go to work, it should be to swing stones off rubberbands and see who's stone got promoted the most.

Meaning, that when we sit in meetings, it should be to play staring games with the boss and make sure your point of View is seen.

Meaning, that being happy is more important than looking good, losing weight is a strict no and the more chubby you are, the more looks you get.

Meaning, that when we fall in love, it should be to tickle someone, rub someone's belly, make puppy faces, grab someone's food, lick someone's face, snuggle and get cozy.

Meaning, that everyday should be about playing on slides, being a baby, sleeping to one's satisfaction, eating till you burp and hitting the snooze button on life.

Meaning, that human life should be like Panda life. Like this:




I wish I was a Panda.

Deep thinking.

Cheers

    Let's make it happen! This is one thing living in the islands has taught me - just being. I get worried that some day we'll be forced to leave and I'll have to go back to a town that cares way too much about clothes and cars and status.

Them 90s Things - 1 - iTV Music Channel

By
Starting a random series of all things from a 90s childhood, just so I have a record of these memories for posterity. Do you remember a channel called iTV?  The 1999 Cricket World Cup was when our extremely middle-class, government quarters colony rose to the challenge of cable tv. Till then, we were happily adjusting our antennas and watching wholesome family entertainment on the two channels of DD1 and DD2. Then came the cable wale bhaiya, with his fancy earring, a few TV guides stacked under his arms along with long ropes of cable, promising unlimited entertainment for the entire colony. And just like that, we all got lured. Cable TV bought with it a lot of changes, many of which I assume will get covered in this series. But, today's post is about 1 particular memory which every 90s kid can relate to. A huge letter I revolving on the TV in anticipation of a new song being chosen. Yep. The iTV generation. Not MTv. It was all about iTV. I still don't know what that channel was...

Drumrolls and All That

By
In crass Hindi, this moment would have been aptly defined as "Laut ke buddhu, ghar ko aaye".  Exact translation would mount to "Fools return home" and that's what this post is. So, after taking a break from work, doing a second Masters, getting a job in Singapore and moving countries, I am back on the blog.  Who would have thunk? An year back, I had no idea this is what I would be doing in an year. But then again, do we know what we will be doing an year from now?  Lesson learnt. No planning, no guessing.  Just keep exploring, keep doing new things, keep learning, keep meeting new people. Things will happen. Trust. Like a fool (who returned home!) So, while I discover this part of my life, Singapore, I thought I need the blog more than the blog needs me. Because moving countries is not in the least as glamorous as it sounds.  There's the whole deal with selling all belongings which you have hoarded lovingly over the years. A...

The One Where We Decided the Title is Unnecessary

By
Aah well. So 2010 ended. Nope. I did not do the customary year-end post simply because, as cliched as it may sound, I felt the year zipped by too fast and that my last year's year-end post is about as relevant today as it was back then. Except that I am lazier this year. And hence skipping that little ritual of the round-up post. Touche! Resolutions? Nada. Why? Because, let's face it, there is no point. But here's a list of things I am looking forward to this year: Some clarity on life. And my future. Turning 23. Not looking forward to all the relatives' concerns about the inevitable nuptials. Reading. A lot. At least more than what I read last year. Lots of choti si khushis. A small wish that I hope gets fulfilled this year. Umm. So, it's small when you look at the big picture. The really really big picture. The enormous picture. That's when the wish looks small. Okay, fine. Have it your way. The BIG wish. I still hope it gets fulfilled, though. Bright ...
