Bars & Cultures

bars in india

Bars & Cultures-Over a long period of time the society’s evolution in terms of norms and thinking is very slow. Especially in a country like India which is very rich and diverse in cultural aspect, it takes a lot of time for the mentality of the people to evolve.

Bars and pubs have been existing in India since a very long time ago and it can traced back to the era of Aryan Civilization but then these were the places meant only for the men-folk.

Even today, the stereotype thinking has not grown much. Women seen hanging out in Pubs and Bars are not considered to be cultured. But the modern generation sees it differently. This is a good progress and a good sign for the girls. Finally, we are marching on the road to equality of men and women. So, let the party begin.

SOUP AND THE SOUL

Milk and Mario

Milk and Mario

Milk and Mario-Every morning starts with annoying alarm tone. *Sigh* the new day starts and my cats are mewing for a bowl of milk. All they need is the milk bowl filled up to the brim.Milk and Mario And within a minute or two after pouring in milk it will vanish. Cute little kittens drink up all the milk at once. And then just purr, purr and purr.

bowl and cat

With such a great head start to the day the day goes ahead very well. Busy at work I never ever worry of my kittens being hungry as they had a full bowl of milk and therefore I am rest assured at work. I ponder whether there is an analogy to this situation. Try relating this to your daily life. Yes, you got it right, your mother plays the very same role. She makes sure that you get the right nutrition at the very beginning of the day so that your day goes with full energy. Now, I feel bad about always being annoyed with my mother when she used to force me to finish the glass of milk, all she wanted was to give me the right nutrition. I love you mummy, Thanks for all the glasses of milk which you forced me to drink.

Super Mario

Video games brought a revolution when they hit the market in the early 90’s. Only the 90’s kids will understand the madness behind those games and competing with their friends in the race to complete the levels first. The craziness went to whole new level and kids started spending more time playing video games then outdoor games.

Though the graphics and other gaming features have evolved over the period of time but still the craziness that went with Super Mario and Contra like games cannot be compared to any other video game; the kids of that decade will know of what I am talking about 😉

The Road-Less Travel

The Road-Less Travel-Picnics are the best ways to rejuvenate and re-connect with your family and friends in this busy life where time for the near and dear ones is very limited.

Picnic trips are full of wonderful memories, be it playing with your siblings or having lunch together in the open or the star gazing at nights with the camp fire. Even the journey to the picnic spot counts. The journey is indeed among the sweetest memories often accompanied with some small glitch in the engine 😛 (I don’t wish it happens with you but if does enjoy it, it’s a whole new experience). The family van which accommodates all your relatives and the fun you have on the way. Cherish those picnic memories, cherish every moment with your family

I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.’ ~ Robert Frost

Often your life will halt at a cross-road where you will need to make a decision of which road to continue on. And that decision will change the course of your journey. And this kind of juncture will occur not once or twice but many more times. Every time you will need to make a tough choice. Sometimes you may get advice from your close ones but in the end its your decision because you will have to live with it for the rest of your life. So choose wisely, live well.

Childhood-Crossing the Sea

Childhood-Crossing the Sea

Childhood-Crossing the Sea-The journey of life is very long and is full of twists and turns. We never know what point will cause our lives to change drastically. Its better to be prepared for all kinds of situations.

‘I was walking on water, for I didn’t know no one else could. I was not ready to walk on the roads, where everyone should’

Remember when we were little; we always wanted to grow up? Now we realize it was better being a kid.

 All of us when young are eager to grow up and do things which our parents or elders prohibit us from doing. The eagerness is so much that we desire that the years just pass by like minutes. And it does happen, in terms that we do not realize how fast those childhood days pass by. Suddenly we realize we are no longer kids and now are grownups with many responsibilities and duties.  We start missing those times when we free, free from any kind of responsibilities, the time when we were not obliged to do anything, just play around and have fun. We miss those childhood days only after growing up. It is necessary to understand that the childhood days are the sweetest memories of life. Cherish every moment of it.

 ‘Memories of Childhood were the dreams that stayed with you after you woke.’ ~Julian Barnes

Speaking of the sages of India

Speaking of the sages of India my mind goes back to the period of which history has no record, and tradition tries I vain to bring the secrets out of the gloom of the past.

And if we look around in present times we will find these sages all around us. Maybe you will find many of them in proximity of Holy places and maybe you will find them travelling in trains. But the question here is not how many sages we have in the country, the question is do we in their sanctity? Do we believe that their devotion towards the Almighty true or is it just a cover up of some prohibited activities. Many such fake Sages have been busted who tried to lure in innocent people, giving them false hope to solve their problems.

In order to be safe all you can do is be alert and active. Not all of them are fake and not all of them are impostors. Be wise, be safe.

India is a diverse country with an extremely rich culture and a history as old as the age of human race. For a country with so much diversity, it is very hard to progress as a unified nation. Still, India has made tremendous progress in every field ranging from Science and space to politics and also sports and games.

With a rich culture which is still preserved in its pristine form, the nation has made a huge progress in terms of technology and lies among the top 10 in each and every field.  The nation has a very dense population and perhaps houses the largest number of people than anywhere on the planet. This gives India a competitive advantage over other countries in terms of human
