Not Nine Not Eleven
My heart goes out to those people who lost their loved ones in 9/11… and kudos to America for taking some tough stands after that incident!At the same time, I cannot ignore the fact that some amount of brain have been behind causing 9/11 and all such similar incidents!
Click here to see some heartwarming and some amazing photographs related to 9/11.
And I have been reading about how India and Pakistan are arguing like kids on what happened in Bombay! It is so shameful for us as a nation and disrespectful to people who lost their lives and the ones who lost someone important! Is it that we Indians do not know how to take a stand or are we people who can be walked over with ease?

She came and went!!!
She came to the city to surprise a few friends… she did manage to give them one of the biggest surprise of their lives!She died!
Or should I say she was killed!
How?
Driving under Influence is how the police puts it!
My friend gets a call from the hospital inquiring if he knows about the girl and then the caller tells him about the “unfortunate” incident
Her boyfriend flies from Houston, makes efforts to take her from this hospital to Chicago because his relatives are doctors there and they might help. The local doctors had given up already!
The body now flies to India, where her parents are eagerly waiting! not for her but for the body!
All of this because someone was drunk, and decided to drive!
I know of so many people who claim to be in complete control after they have a few drinks, and I know for sure how much in control they are! but then on a different day, we would have laughed about driving and drinking by quoting some funny lines by people who are drunk!
Its not really worth it! seriously! if you are having alcohol, please stay away from the steering wheel! take a cab home, ride a bus back home, or just pass out! but please do not drink and drive! you would never know the impact of something “unfortunate” that happens when you felt you were in total control!
Please learn from someone else’s mistakes!
A big thank you for the kind souls who did whatever they could to save the girl in question here. It was probably the way she had to go!
and a big thank you if you have ever decided to take a cab to the pub and back instead of driving!

Das Leben der Anderen
or “The Lives of Others” is a movie set in the 1980s when Germany was still divided between east and west Germany. The movie shows how Stasi, the secret police of GDR (German Democratic Republic or East Germany) used to bug houses of people they suspected for being unfaithful to the leadership.Its about a German surveillance officer while working on a project to find reasons to frame a dramatist and writer because a minister has developed liking towards the writer’s girlfriend, starts to understand their point of view better and questions his own principals and faithfulness to Stasi.
Beautifully presented, this is a must see in case you are interested in some serious drama. I always am impressed by the use of light and camera in such movies. Its amazing!
The movie is in German and you would need to read through the subtitles unless you find an English dubbed version of it.
You could read the entire plot on wiki, however I would recommend against it as it kind of gives away the entire story. Find the movie, watch it, and make an opinion!
Another movie that I just finished watching is “Primal Fear” starring Richard Gere and Edward Norton. What a brilliant performance by Edward Norton in this movie. The movie is based on a novel by William Diehl and revolves around a trial where Richard Gere is trying to protect the accused. Excellent pace, lovely characterization, and a brilliant twist! loved it!

A Tea-Time-Tale by Mayuri
I bet we all remember our first times— first cycle ride, first prize, first drink, first salary, first kiss, first lie… first this & that…
But I also remember my first cuppa tea! 🙂 🙂
Because it occured to me after a long wait and lots of anticipation!!! And it happened in too special a way to forget!!!Okay now, lets begin from the beginning.
For me, tea meant……
…a fancy drink
…a childhood tabooo
…an elders delight
…an enigma
Yes, I was not allowed to have tea. This rule courtesy my grandma; she did not like her children to have tea- and I a kid to her ever. So I never ever had a sip of tea for 27 odd years of my life! (Wonder if that’s some sort of a record)Anyways, I know I was always drawn to this mysterious drink, its woody color and the-then indefinable aroma. Tea was like an enigma for me, something I’d always associate with adulthood (!), choice (!!) andmaturity (!!!) Weird? But that’s what it was for me. Those delicate tea sets were equally fascinating, uhhhh, forbidden too! I had watched my elders and cousins sipping their tea and wondered how it tasted. Imagined if it tasted anything like horlicks and decided that it certainly tasted better. Assumed if tea tasted like hot-chocolate and conclued that being the elder’s drink it was, it was bound to have a better (read: less sweetened) flavor. The days passed by and I simply belived that I wasn’t cut out fora cuppa tea (ironic, haa)… But I’m proven wrong. 🙂
Animesh (my husband), an avid tea lover himself, never liked the idea of us having different beverages.(Him: Tea; Me: All except tea) So early one morning, he handed me a tea mug and asked me to taste it. (“your introduction to tea”, he quipped) He was kind enough to say that I could leave drinking if I did not like it!
So I sipped.
Relished.
Loved it.
And thanked Animesh for my first cuppa ever!! I love him so for this special cuppa and for this perfect moment. 🙂Three weeks down, I have travelled across six states, eleven cities and stopped at a number of tea stalls. Needless to say, I enjoyed every single cupppa tea I had.
Proud to be the new kid on the tea block, though still experimenting with tea types and snacks to go with chaii. I liked samosa n plain marie biscuits so far…
Here, may I ask the readers of this post: would you tell me whats your favourite cup of tea & snacks? I’d love to try it out 🙂I want to thank Om for letting me tell my tea-story @ chai-ki-dukaan. For letting me be a fellow chai-wali on your blogspace. This whole experience is awesome. Thanks buddy! 🙂
P.S. Two days back, I asked amma (my grandma) as why she kept me away from this wonderful cuppa. She chuckled and said “Some things are worth the wait”
I agree, amma!!Some tea-pics now:
