Hey People,
I came to a shocking realisation today! My own school mate, my class mate, actually my bench partner at one time had been copying my writing in my blogs!! Word to word, posts to posts, and I was really hurt because what I write is from the bottom of my heart and its about people I love to heights! Someone cant just copy it!
Well all I will say is she used to copy in school, and she copies even now, can you beat that!!
For your reference, I am forwarding all of you the blog she has created, please note that some posts might be her own. But many and I mean many are from my blog!! Also, the dates can be adjusted the way you want them to! I am not angry because someone copied my writing, I am angry because its my life that I have written so lovingly about, and someone just cant snatch it away from me! Here's the link to blog that she has created,http://merinanhipari.blogspot.com/ Those who have been reading my blog, will know what I am talking about. For others, just a piece of information. Just in case you want to refer my blog It is http://readmeout-aditi.blogspot.com/ I dont need to proove anything here, just that I wanted to bring to light her character.
P.S. Arshiya- I have now words for you, next time you do it, I am going to post another article here, so that everyone knows that you are nothing but a cheater.

The Girl.......
Its been really long since I have written something, be it good or bad, convincing to my heart or not, I haven’t sat peacefully and wrote anything. My mind and my heart seldom work together, and only when they do I am able to write a little. My blogs have not been looked after by me, I feel guilty to have ignored them so curtly, but my mind is racing with other priorities which are equally important. My mind wins over my heart nowadays. In the past, my heart never compromised! But now it’s mellowed down. From a hustling and bustling river, it has transformed into a silent spectator. The process has been truly enjoyable but also slightly saddening. So, I thought I should write something about the person I was before; I am sure all the girls who are reading would relate to me joyfully yet with a streak of sorrow! This goes to all of us!!
I used to wake up to my mother’s voice, sometimes she would be complaining over my laziness, most times she would be caring, now I wake with the alarm on me cell phone to see my husband serenely sleeping beside me.
I used to wake up with the thought of what I would wear, which sandal on which dress, now I think of what to cook for our Tiffin, whether there is any vegetable in the fridge and whether there is dough for the fulkas!
I used to merrily get ready for college later office while my mother handed over me my Tiffin! Now I make my own Tiffin, pack it hurriedly, while I notice chores which are still undone!
I reach home with the thoughts of what to make for dinner; I make a cup of tea for myself and sit on the sofa with thoughts about the work lined up. My husband is yet to reach home from office.
I used to come home to talk to my mother about the happenings of the whole day, and also to a cup of hot steaming tea which my mother would hand over to me while I rested on the sofa!
I used to ask her, “Kay aahe aaj jevnat??” (What is the menu for dinner?) Now, I make my own.
From a girl who was a daughter, who was a carefree soul, I have now courteously changed myself into a responsible caring wife. These things are not unpleasant at all because I have Amit who cares and helps. He understands me and so allows me to get bored at times; we eat out when I am tired. On weekends, he makes tea so that I can enjoy it without entering the kitchen; every Saturday we go out for lunch or dinner, he listens to me with interest as I express to him how my day has been. It’s not all that gloomy, but it’s undoubtedly different! I love my life even now, but the girl inside me whines at times. And so, ‘I will keep the girl that I was, alive in me forever, and sinfully let her out sometimes because after all she was the person Amit fell in love with in the first place….isn’t it?

Ghanjini - a downfall of Aamir khan
Finally I saw Ghajini, we really struggled to get the tickets, watched the movie from the first row!!But I was totally disappointed with the movie. I mean I adore Aamir Khan to death but that’s only because he is a thinking actor and not just because he is charmingly handsome. I couldn’t believe the loop holes in the movie were actually overlooked by our very own Aamir!!
I have seen memento twice, because it is so intelligently made, it took me real good time to understand every bit of detailing. Well its stupidity to even compare Memento with Ghajini.
Firstly, though I agree Aamir as an actor has performed very well as Sanjay Singhania, but throughout the film I felt like he had no real connection with any of the other characters in the film, for that matter even with kalpana, their chemistry is incomplete, their love is too kiddish & immature. Also very stupid! For example, kalpana calls Sachin aka Sanjay Singhania before he is supposed to leave for his Gaon, at 1. 00 am, she stands in the middle of some road next to her pink scooty with 1 lac 35 thousand in her bag! He meets her, they have their moment, he is so overwhelmed that he forgets to drop her till her door, looking at the dark night he obviously should! Forget dropping her, he doesn’t even hug her; they are a couple for God’s sake and are going to be apart for 10 days! Such detailing is expected from Aamir Khan. Secondly, if Sanjay Sighania can buy her a lavish apartment and gift it to her by tricking her, cant he make an arrangement for her to travel to Goa?? He travels to London in his private Jet while she has to board an empty train in the middle of the night, doesn’t he have a heart to ask her how she is travelling!!! When Ghajini ruthlessly kills (typically South style) Kalpana, he doesn’t ensure the death of Sanjay Singhania, leaves him alive, so that this movie could have been made!! LOL! Sanjay Singhania is not known by anyone, but still he is as rich as the Tatas or the Ambanis, what a shame! There are uncountable flaws like this in this Aamir starrer movie! I would have rather liked it more if it was a SRK or an Akshay Kumar movie, you know why! But Aamir…nah!!! Especially after TZP, it’s a total downfall for him!!
I don’t know why but there is nothing good about the movie that I can think of!! The songs are good, but could have been better! Asin is beautiful but at times overacts, or maybe her character is kinda too much excited all the time! Anybody could have replaced Jiah Khan. The vilian of the movie, I would rather remember him as Sultan in Sarfarosh, and not Ghajini. I would ask Aamir to make a great movie with his thinking brain so that it helps his fans to forget that he ever made such a stupid movie!
Aamir I love you but I am not dumb, you see!

Its time to Act
The Mumbai terror attacks not only left me numb and petrified but it also awakened me like my fellow Indians. I was angry, frustrated and helpless in the initial stage, when I looked at the insensitive and silly reactions of most of the politicians and the blame game between the various political parties. Watching news made me furious at most times. But then after some days, I started thinking upon the issues we are facing in a more sensible and practical way. After the anger and confusion of emotions in your mind subside, emerges a solution. So I felt that this is the best time to write in my blog because only now will I be able to express feasible solutions and suggestions to one and all. I am not a big personality, I am neither rich nor elite, and not a celebrity, not a media person, but I am a young blood of this country which needs us now more than ever. I believe I can positively influence views in my own little way.
I have thought about this five point plan, for us to act now!
1. Stop blaming others. Self realization is most important. Change yourself. Stop paying bribe to traffic police to save yourself from heavy fine, stop paying bribe to acquire license, passport or any official document. We all do that, let us accept it. But if we all stop doing it, it surely will help.
2. Be alert always. Not only after a terrorist strike, but keep a watch all the time whenever you are travelling or even while you are at home, peeping out of your window. Don’t be hesitant to inform the police if you notice something suspicious.
3. Know your rights. We as citizens of this country are not aware of our rights as citizens. Our constitution is just a document for us. I think we should be proactive in knowing our rights. Let us carry out a campaign to create awareness of our rights so that we are not fooled by any political party. It’s my request to all the media channels and newspapers to come together and carry out such campaigns and make every Indian smart enough to know his or her rights as a proud citizen.
4. Politics is not a bad word. But here in India we use it when we want to degrade the situation. If in our offices, corporate spaces we hear some gossip we say “politics chal raha hai “. Politics as a word holds far more meaning than just be thrown as a negative adjective. Let the younger group of our generation know this. This field is meant for all of us. Even we can be politicians. A politician can be good as well. We have forgotten this. Thus we choose not to be a politician. Let’s take a pledge that we will educate our younger generation to take up this field so that there is a chance for good politicians to emerge in this mess.
5. Vote. We avoid voting because we believe there is no one good enough. But we need to change our attitude and cast our votes to avoid someone we don’t wish to be elected. Also educate the under privileged. Educated India will be a better India. If we all are educated, we will take up a better decision while voting. But our brothers and sisters who are not so lucky get influenced by many other factors when they vote. So let’s help them become educated. Again it’s my appeal to all the media channels and news papers to come together for this cause. We will support you.
I can only advice or suggest my fellow Indians. I am too young to advice the government how to handle this situation. Terrorism is a very complicated problem. I believe they will take the necessary action. But we as youth should think about tomorrow more than today. LET’S WAKE UP AND ACT. It’s nothing but a fight for freedom as it was many years ago, the enemy this time being corruption, illiteracy and carelessness.

C for Chennai
It’s been 9 months since I shifted to Chennai post marriage. And I have discovered some intriguing, some sweet, some surprising facts about this peaceful city.
I have compared Chennai to Mumbai in all possible ways because that’s what you do when ever you unwillingly shift to some place you don’t like from a distance. And then your feelings mould in ways the city treats you! I have started loving Chennai for its peaceful nature, in no hustle bustle routine life, its superb green environment and for the Horlicks Mysore paak I eat at Grand Sweets in Adyar!
So I thought I should write something about this city I adopted few months back. Our home is opposite to one of the renowned temples of Chennai, Padmanabham Temple, it has unruffled atmosphere around and inside. I am glad we got such a warm and comfortable place to dwell.
Here are some facts about the city which you won’t know until you live here!
Even people owning a Mercedes wear a lungi not a Gucci!
Traffic Police use walky talkies and are very considerate at least to the non Tamilians, they are not corrupt!
Rickshaw Drivers never use the proudly fixed meters, instead they charge money on god knows what basis!
Every road is shielded with lush green trees.
Many people perform sit ups in front of the deity as a form of Namaskar. Though I keep wondering why??
Almost all the localities can’t speak Hindi, though it’s our national language.
People eat rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner, if not rice then something made of it!
Rickshaw drivers carry people to the temple, wait outside till the particular person does his religious chores which could take more than 25 minutes and drive them back! Of course they charge money but assuming the patience of a rickshaw driver don’t you think its unbelievable!
There are more varieties of “Dosas” available in Mumbai than here! Guess who invented most of them ;p
All I could learn to say in Tamil after all these months is “Tamil Teriyaad”; it means I don’t know Tamil!!!
While I am still enjoying my stay in this city, I will add to my list facts that intrigue me and share with you all!

Sleepless in Seattle
Today morning I skipped office and decided to laze around at home.
Most naturally I switched on the T.V. hoping that a good movie features on HBO and I got hooked on to ‘Sleepless in Seattle’. I was totally amazed by the movie.
It is so subtly and carefully crafted movie.
Meg Ryan at her best. She is lovely, smart & foolish at the same time.
Tom Hanks as always, too perfect to be true, yet predictably ordinary! I adore him to death!
The movie is not too great with the story or the dialogues, but it takes you away with it.
The song , “Togther like a wink and a smile” in the background keeps you almost numb and surely leaves you with moist eyes.
I loved the movie....actually its also got the typical hindi film kind of flavour to it too.... a remake of it would be a super hit ....Aamir & Vidya Balan would give justice to the roles I guess....what say folks...? Wish I had some money...I would make the movie....lolzz....
Well.....all I will say is....Go watch if you havent!
