I wanted to watch Katti Batti this weekend but just read a review that said the movie is not great. I might cancel my plans now. Which made me wonder how much this constant touch with technology and 24/7 communication channels affect our lives. They seem to take all joy out of things. I remember my father or sister hearing something on the news and telling me about it. But now with everybody having access to everything, it is just a question of time. It brings down the level of human interaction. I used to wonder what a new word meant and ask my sister for the meaning. It made me wonder how she knew so many words and definitely helped us bond. And now one would probably google it. It is easier than looking up in the dictionary. In fact somebody asking for the meaning of a word could be very easily classified as lazy or ignorant.

Dear Dow Chemicals, You have yet to compensate the victims of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy. You have a moral and financial obligation towards the victims and their descendants. How the hell are you are sponsoring the London Olympics? And just because the original plant was bought over by another entity does not entitle the new entity to go scot free. Dear Indian Government, Why is that you are ready to take steps against a person/ entity/ group only when the whole world creates a hue and cry? Lakhs of Indians are still physically and mentally affected by the exposure to the gas leak on that fateful night of December 1984. Your own citizens. Today is the 26th of January, our Republic Day. But I feel no pride. The real pride lies when the Government and its people work towards the safety and welfare of its citizens. Dear Anderson, Still alive and kicking, really?

There are some moments in life when you actually feel that your childhood (probably not the right word) has come to an end. When you feel you cant behave like a brat and expect people to say- oh she’s just a kid. Being the youngest in my family and also at my work place, I never thought of myself as a grown up. Even when I started earning. Yesterday I met one of my closest friends & childhood playmate. She’s getting married and leaving the country in a few days . I knew it all along but when I said bye to her yesterday , it finally sunk into me that everything is changing. The house where we spent countless days playing choppu and other invented games is going to belong to someone else soon. God, I’l never forget those days. And it’s horrible to know it’l never come back.
