HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

Happy Independence day to all my readers, i am very proud to be an Indian, though i know there are many things which i am not proud of.

I was thinking why is still, India a developing country? i have heard this sentence from the time i was in class 1. its been 20 years now, its still developing, when will i hear the sentence "India is a super power", my experience in the banking sector finds a very small solution to this transition from developing to superpower. Most of the transactions in our country are done with cash which are not recorded, if they are made with debit or credit cards, they will get recorded and no merchant can save their sales tax.

Agriculture sector should be given the prime importance, i am sure India still earns most of its revenue from this sector.With Climate change, we should no more depend on the rains to shower its blessings on the rice crops, biotechnological projects should give more emphasis on developing drought resistant rice varieties.

I am sure in the last 20 years of the journey i have seen the transition from developing to superpower has gained momentum, we have almost overcome the problem of unemployment, Illiteracy, child marriage, religious riots, etc.etc.i know they still exist, but the frequency is less now a days. If the administration of the country is handled by the youth, i am sure we will reach the superpower tag very soon, we need leaders who take wise decision and implement ASAP.

I HAVE LIBERTY TO LIVE MY LIFE THE WAY I WANT.

Thanks to my parents , my relatives, my religion, my country, who allows me to live my life the way i want it. I am never answerable to any of the above mentioned, as to why i am selecting a particular thing to be the part of my life, what i wear, what i eat, where i go, who are my friends, which god i believe in, which religion i follow etc etc......Readers may think whats great in that every body has the right to live life the way they want to, its true in India, America,European countries and many other countries where human rights hold very strong roots and position.

There are many parents, relatives, religion, customs, and countries where human right is just a crap, most of the limitations are on women. They are not allowed to study,go out alone, get knowledge, set up their dream career, wear a smart looking dress, talk to the opposite sex, marry some one whom she likes, and what not.

I know, days are not that bad as i have mentioned above, because we meet people when we step out side our house, who are like us.As i talk to my few old friends whom i left behind in career, life style, and education, i see my self in a very better position. Anamika's mom doesn't allow her to wear jeans, my genius cousin was not allowed study because her parents thought of getting her married, my sister cannot choose to go to disco alone because her fiance want her to be only with him in public gatherings, my neighbour Neha was not allowed to work as her husband dint like her going out to office every morning, Anamika is not allowed to go for dating with her fiance because her brother is against girl and boy meeting before marriage,most Muslim women in the world are forced to wear burkha in scorching sun because their religion says that, and the list is endless...... why are all these limitation only for the women? are they bound to follow what the people, religion or country frames for them? I think these women gets pleasure and happiness in following the set rules, they don't have their own set targets, they actually don't know what they want? that's why the whole world sets or creates rules for them because they like to follow others, not listen to their heart.

MY BEST PHOTOGRAPHY

"Rare
oppertunity".










Coffee in its initial stage








Thanks to SAIKAT, who
lended his camera that his elder brother gifted him from USA. generally i click, focusing every thing that attracts my eyes. Saikat was in the city and his camera was in my hand and i got the opportunity to click few flowers and one chameleon and i found it to be the best pic that i have ever clicked, and now i would like to share with the world.



I saw this lizard many times in my life , but i never knew that it is so attractive until i took this pic.

I DOUBT IF I AM BORING.

when ever i went to any interview for job, the first round always was a "description about yourself round" in an open forum, when ever it was my turn i said: " Hello people , my name is Arpita, i have done my Masters from AU, my hobbies are....... reading any thing that i get, i like to watch national geographic, discovery & History channel, i love to sing and apart from job i like to see my self as a singer".These were the words that i always said and its all true about me, nothing is fake. I dont like freaking out with friends on weekends until and unless he/she is very close friend of mine, i dont booze, i dont fag, i like to help my mom in the kitchen, I keep a track of whats happening around the world by togling between different news channels, briefly i have all the character of a typical CANCERIAN. Am i living a boring life? is this the reason why i dont have many friends? finally i doubt am i boring?

GREAT LOVE STORIES.

I know "Laila Majnu", "Soni Mahivaal", "Shiri Faradh "etc. etc. as great lovers who gave up their life for their lover, i know them only by their names but never wanted to know about their love stories. i never knew that there were great and interesting love stories , where the lovers dint die finally, they fought with their respective problems for years and finally got their lover married and lived happily, until some disease killed .
I am quoting example of a great Scientist, who discovered that sound energy can be converted into electrical energy and then again sound energy and the out come was "TELEPHONE". I want to mention about "ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL", he was a faculty of speech in a school, who fell in love with the daughter of his professor, but the professors condition was, he would give his daughter to Bell only if he manages to become a scientist and did something great, his knowledge of Electronics was not enough to think about "Variable resistance" which was mainly involved in his research, he with his co worker Mr. Watson (Electrical engineer) made the first telephone, established his own Telephone company and finally married the professors daughter. He was father of two daughter, and died due to Diabetes.

My second example is a man whose name is very popular in the world of social network, he will be the richest man in the year 2010, he is none other than our very favourite "Mr. ORKUT". He fell in love with a girl at a very early age, once they were travelling by train when they were only friends and the train met with accident, both of them were seriously injured and when ORKUT gained conscious he found himself with his parents in a different city, due to lack of communication he lost the girl, he never lost hope, he thought of making social network where people get to see others and make friendship, to his surprise he found his lost girlfriend in his own created network, which all of us know as "ORKUT".

I am really impressed with these two great love stories, where the outcome was great invention that impacted the humanity in a good way, which gave the world a reason to smile. I hate girls and boys who commit Suicide if someone fails in love, infact the person should prove to be the best so that he/she makes the world to think twice before saying no.

I MISS UNIVERSITY DAYS.

Its been 4 years that I am working , but I always miss my school days and specially those two years of University days. I remember the we were a group of eight girls five of which are already married (SUJATA, SRAVANTHI,SWARNA,SUNITA and PRASHANTHI) now they are mothers, and the other three, me Swathi and Qurie are still single. i remember we were a very popular gang of girls in the university campus, specially me and Swathi. Going to University campus each morning was more of fun and less of attending classes.
1.I remember those days when our seniors were having introduction session with us and girls were afraid of this session as they took it as ragging, I enjoyed this kind if introduction.

2. Once Swathi managed a heavy “Bullet bike” I sat behind her and we had a tour of the Andhra University Science campus, and guys from different pure Science and applied sciences department was shocked looking at a girl driving a BULLET.

3.I remember the one and only state bus “904” that use to go till University from my place and many students waited at their respective stops to catch that bus. It was a 1hour and 45 mins journey with almost no space for air inside the bus, still we enjoyed the journey.

4. There use to be a handsome guy at the Mathematics department, on whom me and Shravanthi had a crush, and it was a challenge between both of us as who can first talk to him, and I made sure that ,I not only did friendship with him I made sure that he waits for me at the bus stop, Lol………….

5.Once Sujata had to buy a matching Dupatta for her new dress, so all of us thought of joining her for her Rs 30 shopping, the shopkeeper thought he was getting a number of customer but lol…….. it was after so much of chik chik, we bought only a Rs 30 worth dupatta, Lol………….

6.I and Swathi were doing a small part time job, she was with “DECCAN CHRONICLE” and I was a tuition Teacher at the same time was giving programmes at AIR. We went to shopping malls for window shopping and told each other about our plans of buying all good dresses once we started earning.

Many more memories which is beyond the scope of my patience to type , but I miss all those days when we din’t have money in pocket still we had dream to buy every thing, now we have money, credit cards and debit cards but no friends to freak out. So many different types of dresses, but no friends to appreciate when I wear and go out. Bus use to be packed up with all friends and now we can afford a Car but no friends,we drive it all alone. I wish I get those days back which is IMPOSSIBLE.

HAPPY WITH THE NEW GOVERNMENT

I don't know how many of us are really happy with the new government, but i am really happy with the steps, targets/goals that they have set up for themselves, and look the energy of the the leaders, they are going to implement it within 100 days.

1. NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD

2.RICE FOR Rs 3 FOR THE POORS

3. BRINGING THE MONEY BACK TO INDIA THAT'S HELD

SOMEWHERE ELSE

4.NATIONAL SECURITY

5.FOOD AND HEALTH CARE.

These were the main concern that pooped on the TV screen, i am sure they have more in store.

They have just set their goals and already the government officers have started implementing them, recently the SIM of 6 Reliance customers were deactivated in J&K. High court judge of Punjab was traced in accepting bribe. Waw, i appreciate the efficiency of this govt.
