Children of the same womb but divided by States- Time to change

Just yesterday I landed upon an article on Time Of India website mentioning a claim by the Chief minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar which clearly comes off as a political gimmick to garner votes. I didn't take that article too serious and scrolled down the page to see the comments made by the masses on that article. To my horror, what I came across stunned me; People were disgracing Biharis and talked about throwing them out of their respective states! What made it worse was it were 'educated' people who talked such rubbish. 

As mentioned in the constitution of India; India is a secular country granting the freedom of movement to it's citizens. But the way in which my country fellows were bad mouthing their own countrymen made me furious. Racism prevailing towards Indians in another nation can be understood, however, racism amongst Indians itself is a fact which actually makes me ashamed of my country and that too just because of some stupid politician's politics makes the whole thing seem awful!

Well, my folks before pointing towards and hating your own countrymen, remember the fact that the Indian soldiers fighting on the border of our country lay down their lives to protect "India" not just a single state. And yes, just have a read through this article pointing out our country's flaws effortlessly. If you felt anything for your country after reading that backlash on India, continue to call yourself an Indian. Please stop this prejudices based upon state, before coming off as a Punjabi or Gujrati or Maharashtrian, to the world you are an Indian. Stop getting carried away by these politicians say, you know the age-old adage "United we stand, divided we fall". India will be a superpower one day only if all its citizen will put in collective effort.

      No actually, while I was writing this post I happened to come across a contest by Stayfree India. So as per the rules I had to insert a pic and a link of Stayfree's. Understood? :P

    I saw those comments and was surprised too. Fact is, poverty makes people (from anywhere in the world) do things they don't want to. The next time it becomes easier. Hopefully this isn't an excuse for stealing or being dirty by anyone, anywhere.

    I found your blog via indiblogger.in. I find the posts to be very good. They are what I try my blog to be: personal experiences, yet informative. I suppose all blogs try that but yours does it better than others.
    I have added you to my Reading List, and clicked on your ad (I know that is important to AdSense members).
    Keep on blogging!

Random things from my Mind

Okay, I was just browsing through channels on my television, when I chanced upon this song being played on VH1 and since then, I am listening to this "master-piece" non-stop on YouTube! Hey, I don't like a particular genre of music but listen to whatever pleases my ears (Hmm....but I am certainly a bit partial to Urban Punjabi genre due to my beloved Imran Khan ). To be honest, I am not in a mood to write some heavy, pour-out-my-heart post as all my excitement for Navratri  has been spoiled by those slow songs played during Dandiya, tonight. So, in this post I'd prefer to cut short my words and let the video above and picture below do the talk. Chocolate Milkshake. Just one word.....YUMMY! Ah, How much I love this thing (Choco-milkshake) filled in little plastic containers from my college's cafeteria! It's pure bliss to take the sips and linger all over them, trying to devour these. Yeah, I know I am sounding crazy right now, but frankly I can't...

Nashik Beyond Basics: 5 Offbeat Things To Do

(Please Note: I undertook this trip in Mid-November 2015. This article was written soon after, although it is being published now.) Two weeks back, when I looked at the calendar, I couldn't be mad enough at myself. One whole month of holidays had slipped like sand through my hands, with merely a weekend left before having to plunge back into the whole ho-hum, and, I did not do that one single thing which I desperately needed to; travel!  After being completely worn out by endless deadlines, stifling weather and maddening crowd, I was hoping to travel to the serene Himalayas. But as luck would have it, I was utterly broke, with barely a dime to spare for a rejuvenating trip to the mighty mountains. Precisely then, the Universe decided to show some mercy on me and magically a friend messaged me with the same cry, hoping I would accompany her on a broke-women's camping trip to Bhandardara Lake that very weekend. Undoubtedly, I agreed. However, the day before the weeke...
