I am late today to post this message. But the Christmas celebrations don’t end in just one day.  So I would like to wish all my friends around the world a very happy Christmas. Happy Holidays!!!

Yesterday I was offline for most of the day. If you follow me on twitter then you must be knowing that. And if you are regular reader of my blog then you know how much religious I am. Actually it’s the whole family. When you stay in such a family, you are easily attracted towards the rituals and religious things done. That’s a good thing.

So yesterday was another religious ceremony. Like always, I had to be there and I was there for the whole day. You feel nice when you attend such things and I cannot miss that peaceful feeling. With me, my family and cousins also attended this ceremony. As always we had a chat and fun during the free time. This time it was a different talk from my side.

As most educated(educated only followed by a period) person in my whole family, They consider me as an idol. This happens with most of us. We keep someone as an idol and mostly it’s our elder brother or cousin. Unlike me, they have not done well in their studies. I used to give them advice and help whenever required but no effect. After being quiet for so many years I finally broke the silence.

I never considered myself someone whom you can consider as an idol. Though I want to be one. I tried and I am still trying. I told them all the things which I always wanted to speak up but I never did and never got such a chance. They all are intelligent and could have done better. They are into such a fields which they don’t deserve. Their intelligence is of higher level studies. I told them this and some advice which I cannot predict whether they will follow or not. The only good thing, apart from breaking the silence, was I could see that they realized their mistakes from their eyes.(Look into my eyes. I can read you)

They even said they’ll try to do better and think on all the things I said. A sigh of relief for me. After talking all this I realized I just gave a lecture. Yes, that is what I used to call such an advice given by my parents and all others. My stubbornness is what made me to reach this stage of my life. I only hope that this lecture by a fool turn them into wonderful person.

Till the next lecture by this fool…

Time is a great teacher. You learn many things as the time passes on. I am not an exception. When I started this blog I was not a great writer.(Neither I am now.) I had a bit of hesitation before starting this blog. So instead of starting on 1st January, I started it on 1st February.

What was the hesitation for? I had urge for blogging after reading many blogs throughout the internet. Whatever answer I wanted, the search would land upon a blog most of the time. And they had beautiful explanations with good use of language. This was exactly my weak point.

I am not fluent to English. The reason may be that I have very few conversations in English. So forget about writing good in English. As I said I didn’t knew how to write a good blog post. Now the things are changed with time. At that time I wasn’t able to write quickly on a given topic. Now I can. Read the rest of this entry »

My web hosting blues continue. Today was the worst day I thought. may be because I was logged in for hours and my blog won’t. My blog went offline due to database error for almost three hours. Also I had “error connecting database” error in the morning 2-3 times. That is so frustrating. To add, I get notified by some readers that they are unable to read my blog. (They are literate mind you.)

I am having these problems for almost two months now. I waited in the hope that this problem will be solved soon. Unfortunately this ain’t happening. I don’t want to move to professional hosting as I get some 100 odd visitors. That don’t take much bandwidth. Why should I waste $4-5 a month? This question seems to be answered now.

I tried contacting admin who was giving me great support and help. Looks like he is not there. Else this wouldn’t happen. Just waiting for some payments. I’ll be moving for sure now.

If I Die In The War Zone
Pack My Body And Send Me Home
Pin The Medals On My Chest
Tell My Mother I Did My Best

Tell Those Pretty Girls Not To Cry
Coz I Am A Soldier
Born To Die
But Dont You Worry
To Survive In Battle,
Is My Will
Coz This Damn Soldier,
Is Born To Kill!!

We Follow Our Own Rules,
Make Our Own Norms
Ferocious We Are,
Lethal In Any Form
Tamers Of Tides,
We Play With Storms
You Guessed It Right
We Are “Men In Uniform”

No Agony, No Pain, Shall Make Me Cry
Soldier Was I Born
Soldier Shall I Die
I Live By Chance
Love By Choice
And Kill By Profession…

– Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan

Today is Vijay Divas. A day on which India defeated Pakistan in 1971 war. This day is celebrated to give tribute to all the soldiers who gave their lives for the country. Selflessly protecting our country from enemies which mostly contribute Pakistan. This nation still haven’t learn a lesson in spite of being defeated three times.

We say here,
One who does mistake once is Human
One who does mistakes twice is Satan
And one who keeps committing mistakes is Pakistan

This post is especially dedicated to heroes of 26/11 attacks on Mumbai. Poem at the start of this post is by Major Sandeep who is one of the brave soldier who dies in this mission protecting hostages. I salute to him and all other martyrs.

Someone said
Wars come, Wars go. My soldiers stay eternal.
