I witnessed an accident today. A bike hit a scooter in the middle of the road. The biker sped from the scene before anyone else could react. The scooter person was on the floor badly hurt. He,fortunately,survived thanks to his helmet. If he hadn't wore the helmet, the consequences could have been fatal. This incident has made me ponder over this issue about wearing the helmet. There are so many accidents like this that we read in newspaper daily,especially involving two wheelers. In June 2007,Tamil Nadu government made it compulsory for all the two wheeler riders to wear a helmet. This new rule got mixed responses from the people. There were, lets say, around 15-20 % who were ready to follow this knowing how important it is. But unfortunately the rest of the 80% didn't take it seriously. For around 1 week this rule was mostly followed but as it happens every time, slowly things got weary and again it was back to square one. The rule was taken off. I asked a few of my friends ...

We want everything to be perfect in our life. We want to have everything that we wish. But is it possible? Now just for a second,imagine yourself to be a Hero of a movie.

They imagine themself to be a 'Shahrukh Khan' or 'Salman Khan' and expect that girl to fall for them just like how a heroine in our movies does. But what if that girl doesn't fall for that guy.Something like this or this happens. Is this called True Love that these guys claim? When I hear news like these it pains me. What wrong did these girls do to get such a huge punishment? All they said was a NO to a guy. Many girls like these two have lost their life t...

Are We Independent!!! When I say ' We ' , I mean Women. Or more specifically ' Indian Women '. There are talks about Women Empowerment & how women have come out of the four walls & began to make mark in various fields,be it academics,sports,politics,entertainment,corporate sector etc. If anybody is asked to name women who have made a mark or inspire you then few set of names that automatically come up in the minds are - Mother Teresa, Kalpana Chawla, Indira Gandhi, Kiran Bedi etc. And ,of course, Bollywood actresses' names are always in the list. I admire women (apart from names given above) like M.S.Subbalakshmi, Jayalalitha,Sonia Gandhi,Anju Bobby George,Shiela Dixit,Mithali Raj, Sania Mirza,Medha Pathkar & the list continues for the way they've shaped their own lives. I would like to add that personally i might not hold same views as them or might not agree with what they are doing in their own fields but still 1 thing is there. These women ha...
