Abhinav Bindra fires his way to glory bringing India a glittering gold.. First of its kind for an individual...
AND..
Sushil Kumar and Vijender Kumar welled in tears of joy adding to the beaming pride of India with their bronzes...
This could be the dawn of Indian Olympic achievements.. India finally wakes up!!!

Kashmir burns under the flames of discontent.. torn, trifled and traumatized, the land of lakes and shikaras burns in the communal feuds of pandits and muslims compounded by the unresolved status of the LOC and an Utopian sense of identity termed 'azaadi'...
AND..
Bihar drowns in the floods of neglect.. Adequate measures and sufficient investment of technology could, not only have contained and averted the nature's fury, but sheer neglect and a lackadaisical attitude between the governments of India and Nepal, have also lead to worsening of the situation.

Down in the south film stars are making headway into the world of politics, giving fiery speeches..
AND..
drenched with emotional anecdotes like the professionals they are, all in the quest for power..
History has the habit of coming back to life wearing a new tie and hairdo.. And they call it change...

Across all the significant happenings in and of India unfolding at every corner and outside.. down in the newest metro city (and ironically near Metro cash N carry) one fine 'suprabatam' yours lovingly got himself into a tiff he desperately tried to avoid. The encounter turned nasty despite his reason and plea climaxing in violence when the whistle blew off the pressure cooker and a clenched fist, which always championed its cause for non-violence, thrust a fierce punch onto the condign cheekbones of the noisy unrestrained squabbler...
AND..
A sudden jolt of surprise and blood trickling down like water replaced the brawl and all ended deservingly well..

Fire AND Water, a combination that can bring glory, wake the nation to a new dawn, wreak havoc to staggering proportions, quench the undying thirst for power, and sometimes lend out a helping hand in ending petty quarrels..
Fire AND Water like cause and effect, like disease and symptom, like Yin and Yang... inseparable and dissimilar...

Monday smacks open a reality bitten blue
marking its beginning on a somber hue
The arduous journey it feels is miles apart
where Tuesday is just another dismal start
Hump Day is crest if work were a hill
As life trails on vacant and still
Packed with enthusiasm by all means
Thursday awaits the day full of beans
And then its bright, cheerful and gay
Thank dear God, touch wood its Friday
Life, it seems, resembles a Bollywood story
Trudging and toiling, ultimately its all hunky-dory
