Siddharth Kak and Renuka Shahane are the two names synonmous with Surabhi. Ofcourse, it was a serial which I would impatiently wait to watch. Well to be hoenst, the impatience was not as much to see the show but to listen to the results of the previous(Two episodes) episode Quiz. I think that was the first time I used a post card and carefully put it in the red letter box staring at the colony gate of my small town.
I was walking with a cup of coffee in my hands on the terrace of our office when i heard the words "uta aitha?(Did you have Lunch in Kannada)" Something inside told me that though this was least expected, but the words were aimed at me. I could see no other human soul in audible range.
It took me a second to realise that the man cutting the foam sheets for insulating the newly constructed AC ducts had asked me this question. He was a middle aged man with very shabby looks. His face spoke volumes about the years he has spent in the sun working at construction sites in the past.

Everytime i gaze at the ocean, the only thoughts that come to my mind are about what lies on the other side, the point beyond the horizon. The harder i try to concentrate to see beyond the unseen more domiant becomes the sight of the waves and the vast ocean which lies between me and my unseen world. Still, i keep trying...perhaps everyone keeps trying to see what lies ahead and in the course fail to appreciate the vastness of the oceanful of life. Why is man like that? Why can he not live in present?
What is the difference between socialism and communism?
Socialism and communism are alike in that both are systems of production for use based on public ownership of the means of production and centralized planning.

Reading one of the poem in other blog it remind me of one of my favourite poem. You all must have heard it a lot of time but had rearely heard full poem so just though to share with you all.
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai

tana se mana se dhana se
tana mana dhana jIvanase
