He was upset. It was Saturday afternoon but his father wanted him to study when they got back from shopping. He wanted to go and play. He kept looking out of the local train window even though his mother was calling him. He finally turned when he heard “Samosa”. He saw his schoolmate selling it. P. S - another 55F attempt from me! :)

In these times, we are so engrossed in our work/lives that we tend to forget lot many things around us. A chance glance at the "Young World" , supplement of The Hindu paper yesterday made me recollect a few things that i knew as a kid and had completely forgotten! Maths might as well been one of the not so favorite subjects in school with Algebra, Integration eating our minds but still it was one subject we just could not ignore! And if you are Maths lover, you will be celebrating this Day!! March 14th ,i.e, 3-14(M/D) is celebrated as the Pi Day. Even though all of us know and have use "Pi" in our mathematical calculations at some point of time but still there are so many things revolving around Pi that we simply might not know. As i was checking the details about Pi in Wiki , well it simply amazed me! There is even a poem by a Noble Prize Winner Poet, Wislawa Szymborska and a few lines from the poem - The caravan of digits that is pi

I am a major fan of Sports even though i do not play it. Cricket and Tennis being the ones i keep myself always updated(if not able to watch them) on and F1 and Football keep coming and going. And the set of Players whom I have been Fan from the right beginning have all been Men and Women who have ruled in their Sport at sometime or the other! Coincidentally some of the players(Male) have been very good looking but then am not simply a Fan because of their looks(Though my Siblings might not agree to this fact - but then when have siblings ever agreed :P) Rahul Dravid is one such Players whom I have rooted for from the time he has been playing International cricket. Now my heart never bled when he got married or I never kept his photo in my room/wallet looking at it daily and dreaming about him as my Fantasy Hero!! I am just one of those "N" number of Fans of his Cricket!! As the news came out of his retirement on Thursday Evening and Rahul Dravid confirming it on Friday at 1...

Why should today not be a Women’s Day! It’s again that day of the year when we celebrate “Women’s Day” – 8th March. We get down to celebrating the “success stories” of those “Successful Women” in life who are well known in their circle!! While we celebrate the “Stories” of those who have come out of their houses and made a name in the so called corporate/entertainment” world, we tend to forget the stories of those women who also have come out of their houses to earn to ensure her family gets three course meals. Those are the women whose life revolves around a very restricted world and who have to fight daily for their mere existence! What’s so special about celebrating a Women’s day when we trying to tell the whole world that all of us are equal, be it a Man or a Woman. The general argument immediately from the other Gender is that if you are equal then why the debate for 33% reservation or separate Q for ladies in various places etc. If we were considered equal then we won’...
