Rakhi Ka Swaymwar. (What happened to us)

Rakhi Sawant, the very sound of that name, brings the imagination of a item girl to my mind. I always feel happy when i look at people like Rakhi. She chose to be an item girl and i can say she is number one in that segment. I like and respect people who reach the top in their respective fields. For example, a solider is considered a very low rank in the army. However, the same solider when he reaches the level lof a subedhar major, there is a lot of respect for him. There is so much respect for him that the army gives him the rank of a honaroury captain.



Lekin, swayamwar on TV. Shaadi ko ek show banaadenna is a little over the limits, I would have respected Rakhi more if she would have not thought of telecasting over the national television. Above that, the television owners, man these people are the true mean machines. I can never imagine anyone who is more business minded that these television producers.



A woman getting married, in a swayamwar, telecasting over the TV. Mad people like me watching and getting mad behind it. Increased TRP's. More money to the producers and more fame to Rakhi and her dulha(s). I wonder what would have encouraged that 22 year lad to get married to a woman who is more than 30 years. If it is not for money and fame, i dont see a genuine reason behind it. Man you are just 22. You just came out of adoloscence. Get that ass back to school.

IF you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,

if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Reading :) Books, I completed reading recently

Freedom at Midnight: Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins












An insight into India's freedom movement, from an English point of view. Lot of new things to be learnt from the book. One such thing is, once the nation was granted freedom, the then leaders, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel etc, didn't know what to do and requested Lord Mountbatten, to stay back and assist them in administration.





Wings of Fire:

An autobiography of Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, the 11 President of Republic India. Dr. Kalam holds various titles to his name which includes, Padma Bhushan (1981), Padma Vibushan (1990) and the highest civilian award Bharat Ratna (1997). Narrated by Dr. Kalam, and written by Arun Tiwari, this book provides us with a detailed insight into various stages of Dr. Kalam's life. Dr. Kalam was responsible for the development and operationalisation of AGNI and PRITHVI.

This single line motivated me a lot: Dr. Kalam had to taste failure for 5 consecutive times, before he had the first successful missile launch.

Special Forces: By Anthony Kemp

This book provides us with a brief understanding of the origin and development of Special Forces. Helps us understand how these units work and their capabilities. It also provided intriguing stories behind these elite forces. Although, the book refers to most of the Special Force units across the globe, it is more focused on the Special Air Service Regiment (SAS), which is a Special Forces unit of the British.

The initial SAS troops were asked to rob their own units in order to form a SAS unit. Some men even robbed a Piano from the officers mess.
