Congratulations.."Will & "Kate" !


When it comes to mannerism , I may be a bit of American but never any bit a 'Brit'. Thank God I belong to the post independent generation. May be that's why it took me a while this afternoon to register the 'Union Jack" wavers. I was watching the great 'Royal wedding' from the comforts of my drawing room. I don't know why no Indian was part of the 1900 invitees to the Royal wedding. Being an Indian that includes me too...

Anyway I hate to wear stiff neck and sport those Windsor knot. All the more I know I will feel claustrophobic in the motley crowd of floating hat less male heads walking hand in hand with those snobby women wearing all those funny hats. Truly aristocracy is something that you should be born with. You just can't cultivate those mannerism and stiff lip attitudes. Watching today the British Royal wedding did make me realize that nobody can out snob the members of "House of Windsor". House of Windsor is the official name given to the British Royal Household.

Prince William, the duke of Cambridge is the next heir apparent to British throne, after Charles, Prince of Wales his father. Therefore there was no doubt this Royal Wedding was today's best show on the earth. After all it had the two best cast, one born aristocrat, other married into aristocracy.

Thanks to the BBC, this common man sitting miles away from British Isles got the privilege to watch the pageantry draped wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in the historic Westminster Abbey. It somehow reminded me of Barbara Cartland's romantic novels. Their locking the lips at the balcony of the Buckingham palace truly gave a fairy tale beginning to a happily ever after blissful life.

Congratulations "Will" & "Kate" !

MY MODISTORY

  I am one among 900  million plus    "nuts and bolts" of our  Democracy , who   become "faceless" faces in the crowd after  every 5 years.  Year 2014 election was in every sense historic It was beyond doubt a landslide victory for BJP and the beginning of  the so called "MODI" Raj  In year 2014 my reason and my josh for  casting my vote for  BJP was "Modi". His speeches were "sparkling confidence" that set ablaze the confidence of  the nation that was trying to rise up from the cesspool of corruption   Looking back now after 11 years I realise that year 2014 was also  the beginning of era called   "Political Branding" that would  covert  a "politician" into a larger than life  "Mega Leader" Perhaps that is the reason that today in politics "anti-incumbency" does not matter at all . Here are  in brief  a Common man's  bunch of thoughts on "Modi Story". These ...

CLARITY IN CHAOS

  The Bhagavad Gita is a living scripture  universally relevant  today as it was 5000 years ago in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. It is a divine conversation that took place in the battlefield of Kurukshetra  between two best  friends, Lord Krishna the Charioteer and Arjuna the warrior.  'Bhagavad Gita' is an integral part of of Indian mythology  I have always believed mythology is not for everyone including me.  So when my friend, the author of the book  "Understanding Bhagavad Gita", gave me a  copy to review , I was not very comfortable.  I like  'Arjuna'  started looking for excuses . However one day not very soon , "The Recipe For A Better Life " the part of the title  hooked me into reading it The author has covered the essence of 'Gita' inside the  160 pages, through   eighteen Chapters.  Every chapter has an "Introduction", a "Summary" and a "Reflection" The simplicity of his writing gives...
