The next leader

Feminism, politics

So our dear sanjuy baba strike again… here is his in which he says that Manyata takes decision in the kitchen….

HT: Did your wife convince you to get into politics?

Dutt: Manyataji takes the decisions in the kitchen.. aaj biryani banegi ya phir kabab or chicken. That’s where she rules. In other matters I decide what’s to be done.

so now we will have an MP trying to run some part of the country when all is allowed is to take the decisions in kitchen

I dont know what to get more angry on… the women’s right here or the country’s future????

Devil’s Advocate

Tags

fun

Now everyone has been taking this quiz, so I thought of doing it too 🙂 and guess the results

I am an ENFP, the advocate, visionary etc wow!!!

and frankly it doesnt come as an surprise that I am 83% extrovert… I always knew that I am one

“ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it.”

This is where u can read more about ENFP’s

and then coming to Multiple Intelligences, I am 80% of Naturalist

and this is what it means
The Naturalist intelligence has to do with how we relate to our surroundings and where we fit into it. People with Naturalist intelligence have a sensitivity to and appreciation for nature. They are gifted at nurturing and growing things as well as the ability to care for and interact with animals. They can easily distinguish patterns in nature.

Note that this intelligence is the newest added to the theory of Multiple Intelligences and is often criticized as being an interest rather than an intelligence

lol my intelligence is more of a interest 😉

and one thing common about all the above is that i am a leader, I need to head my company…. guys in my organisation, R u listening 😉

PS: things are still very busy catching up on all ur blogs slowly

what are u supposed to do when u are standing outside a department store with ur son and a lady comes up to u smiles at ur son… ur son the darling that he is gives the biggest possible smile back…

and then this is the conversation that follow:
Lady : hi baby
Ojas : biggest smile again
Lady : does he speak
me : not really
Lady : not even mamma dada
me : no
Lady : how old is he, 1 year?
me : (wants to say why are u bothering with a ques when u have an answer already but alas) 15 months
Lady : (looks at ojas from up to down) of but he is really really small
me : hmmmm
Lady : and he doesnt even speak…..
me : thanks god that N arrived with the car and we moved on

but what the f@## is this??? why cant people mind there own business… has no one ever taught them not to say nasty things to people specially strangers…

I am pissed beyond measure not because she said all these nasty things abt Ojas but because its my life, my son and she has no reason to do this

I know there are tons of these guys around, how do u deal with them?

The Missing colors

Tags

festivals, personal

PS: personal rants here

This holi the colors seem to be missing from my life.. Me and N fought on Sunday evening… now obviously its not the first time in last 5 yrs that we have fought, we keep doing that all the time… infact I strongly believe that little fights are neccessary for marriage… they keep relationship sane…

But this time its been different… we fought on sunday and its been 3 days we havent spoken to each other… and now this is surely happening for the first time in 5 yrs… usually we make sure if we fight we dont sleep over it… but this time I am wondering whats coming inbetween… whats stopping us, why are our egos becoming bigger than the relation???

The issue is not at all something big but still both of us are hanging on to it…

Though holi is not really celebrated in blore but every year we make sure we do something on it… collect some friends and play but this year owing to the ego both of us planned nothing… the result he has gone to work and i am sulking at home and blogging… may be I should it take it as a cue and think that god wanted me to play holi differently this year as suggested here and here

Anyways hope things will settle down soon… till than u guys have a happy holi…

My Love Affair

Tags

music, personal

before u get ideas, I am talking about my love affair with Delhi… I have been born and brought up in Delhi and as everyone else who has been to the city I am a hardcore delhite…. loved it to bits with its faults

and each time I listen to Delhi 6 songs my heart aches for delhi… I miss it so much… specially Rehna tu and yeh delli hai mere yaar…. I think I am going to make a trip home soon… very soon

here are the lyrics

Rehna tu

Rehna tu hai jaisa tu,
Thoda sa dard tu, thoda sukoon,
Rehna tu hai jaisa tu,
Dheema dheema jhonkha,
Ya fir junoon,
Thoda sa resham tu humdum,
Thoda sa khurdura,
Kabhi to add jaaye ya lad jaaye,
Ya khushbu se bhara,
Tujhe badalna naa chahu,
Ratti bhar bhi sanam,
Bina sawajat, milawat,
Naa zyada naa hi kam,
Tujhe chahun jaisa hai tu,
Mujhe teri baarish mein bheegna hai, ghuljaana hai,
Tujhe chahun jaisa hai tu,
Mujhe teri lapat mein jalna, raakh ho jaana hai..

Tu zakhm de agar,
Marham bhi aake tu lagaye,
Zakhm pe bhi mujhko pyaar aaye,
Dariyaa o dariyaa,
Doobne de mujhe dariyaa,
Doobne de mujhe dariyaa,
Rehna tu hai jaisa tu,
Thoda sa dard tu, thoda sukoon,
Rehna tu hai jaisa tu,
Dheema dheema jhonkha,
Ya fir junoon…

Haath thaam chalna ho,
To dono ke daaye haath sang kaise,
Haath thaam chalna ho,
To dono ke daaye haath sang kaise,
Ek daaya hoga, ek baaya hoga,
Thaam le haath yeh thaam le,
Chalna hai sang thaam le..

Rehna tu hai jaisa tu,
Thoda sa dard tu, thoda sukoon,
Rehna tu hai jaisa tu,
Dheema dheema jhonkha,
Ya fir junoon,
Thoda sa resham tu humdum,
Thoda sa khurdura,
Kabhi to add jaaye ya lad jaaye,
Ya khushbu se bhara,
Tujhe badalna naa chahu,
Ratti bhar bhi sanam,
Bina sawajat, milawat,
Naa zyada naa hi kam,
Tujhe chahun jaisa hai tu,
Mujhe teri baarish mein bheegna hai, ghuljaana hai
Tujhe chahun jaisa hai tu,
Mujhe teri lapat mein jalna, raakh ho jaana hai..
