being naked!

Every moment of life we learn..
learning never stops .. 
but some times real life instances make you wonder ..where is the limit?? some people surpass every limit..
I workout everyday an hour in Gym .. ..The women s lockers are like right in front as you enter there are lockers n then powder room n showers n then washrooms..
many a times I see girls removing their tanks an going to gym in sports bra which is very well covered ..and looks decent ,,,I generally see all ages .. starting from 23 yrs to 78 yrs.. in which maximum percentage consists of senior citizens .. 
Friday is busy day at gym no parking n lot is full ..kicks my butt moving from one end to another.
I went inside checked inn its 24/7 and headed straight to locker room as I entered I was numb .. a fully naked women sitting n moisturizing herself .. I was like really? I thought no its not ,, I turned n saw her back again to be sure  ..  .. I wasn't  dizzy .. she was naked .. n ladies inside were jus changing and moving totally ignorant of the fact she is naked. 
I had heard many stories in past too people move naked in locker rooms or in showers at pool vicinity too ..cuz its a culture n there is no hesitation .. but being an Indian its not our culture I was little embarrassed .. cuz it never happened n person like me who gets scared even in dreams if I see myself naked ..here a women so confident ly moving around with no clothes.
..last year during our bridal show I went  back to get the outfit from one of our models I was amazed to see girls getting half naked ,, in changing room ,, I was oh! but seems like its a culture shock for me .. cuz we have grown up in conservative  society .. liberal in thoughts but conservative dressing..
When we see people at this extent then we realize where exactly we are...in which world we are living in and how liberal people are in thoughts,body n mind .. I was not only surprised by her nakedness but also people who were totally ignoring her and moving back n forth ..
Life is full of surprises .. n sometimes we learn .. learn wht??
learn to accept , learn to respect n learn to keep your eyes ahead :) instead of staring ..
.. usually we as Indians stare at each other a lot in western world to make sure its indian or Mexican !

I usually say under my breath if someone stares at me,its ok fine I m an Indian no doubts now.

Radio channel!

we recently had a new radio channel ..10:90 AM ..probably the first one to have all Hindi songs twenty four hours a day ..Its very new; just three months old .... I came to know from one of our friends..I have it in my car ..listening to whole new and old songs while driving....I was coming from work it was raining ..and the song that these guys played was..from an old movie.."zindigai bhar nahi bhoolegi woh barsaat ki raat"I smiled and thought are they putting purposely looking at the weather...its nice..even if its done intentionally...

This channel is started by some lady from Toronto ..presumably a Pakistani...but the songs are from Indian and Pakistani movies...some Punjabi songs too...there are some songs and ghazals I never knew...basically its all by requests of people...
Now the reason I am mentioning this was the people have all praises for Indian songs ..their old favorites songs sung by mohmmed rafi and lata mangeshkar...and the Indians who are requesting have all praises for Pakistani singers..Nusratfateh ali songs,noorjahan,shamshad begum...the shyiari etc....its like reciprocal ..all love against each other...
Today I was driving at work...I thought "see how these country people are all praises for each other "songs and requests ..knowing the culture so well...But back home..scenario is different...is it politically motivated there?
so much has been written on India and Pakistan...the whole world knows about it...
why cant we change our thinking...and create love for each other like this!!

Nikki Haley South Carolina Governor Elect.

Nikki Haley (née Nimrata Randhawa, born January 20, 1972) is an elected official from the U.S. state of South Carolina currently serving in the South Carolina House of Representatives Lexington County...

Biography...

Nikki Haley was born in Bamberg, South Carolina. Her parents Dr. Ajit and Raj Randhawa are Indian Punjabi Sikh immigrants from Amritsar and she has an older brother Mitti, sister Simran Singh, and younger brother Charan. She went to Clemson University and majored in Accounting and then joined the FCR Corporation before joining her mother's business in 1994. The family business grew to a multi million dollar company.

Career...

She became treasurer of the National Association of Women Business Owners in 2003 and president in 2004. She chaired the Lexington Gala to raise funds for the local hospital. She also serves on the Lexington Medical Foundation, Lexington County Sheriff’s Foundation, West Metro Republican Women, President of the South Carolina Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners, Chairman for 2006 Friends of Scouting Leadership Division campaign and is a member of the Rotary Club in Lexington...

She has served as secretary of the Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs committees. She also was elected chairman of the Freshman caucus in 2005 and elected as a Majority whip in the South Carolina General Assembly. She was the only freshman legislator named to a whip spot.

On May 14, 2009, Nikki Haley announced she is running for the Republican nomination for Governor of South Carolina in 2010

 
...Key issues
Leadership: “In order to really lead with the Legislature you have to be predictable. … In order to do that, you have to have the right staff. I would much rather deal with what’s wrong with a bill and make it right as opposed to waiting for it to get to the floor and just saying no to it.”


Tax reform: “We have the most band-aided tax structure in the country. We need to look at every single tax. We need to look at every single fee … and we need to look at every single exemption. The first thing we need to do is to eliminate the small business income tax.”


Roll call voting and increased government transparency: “Bills were being passed and legislators were not putting their name with their vote. As an accountant, all I saw were dollar signs. They were growing government and you couldn’t see the spending habits of your lawmakers. … I think you should know who voted for it and against it.”

Personal life..

(Nikki Haley's Sikh wedding picture)

  

Haley was raised in a Sikh family, and identifies herself as a Christian, and sits on the board for Mt. Horeb, United Methodist Church, Med mission. On September 6, 1996 she married Michael Haley, in a Methodist church ceremony...and later with a Sikh ceremony too.. Michael is a federal employee with the United States Department of the Army and an officer in the South Carolina Army National Guard. Together they have two children, Rena and Nalan.

Mitti (nikki's older brother)is an active duty officer who has served in the U.S. Army for the past 20 years...

..Not many women reach at this level and have a mind of their own with no strings attached..Nikki Haley is one of them who has done this.... which makes us proud!

I condemn all those comments made on Nikki that she has embraced Christianity and left her religion and other things regarding India..I would say one thing...her Name will be Nikki forever (given by her parents),,and her parents will be  Indians  forever as we are...and not to forget..all girls change their last names once they get married... why is she singled out? just because she is Nikki Haley...??

I know many Sikh women who are married to Muslim guys...or Arabic's or Christians....they are converted too...and there are many guys  converted to Sikhs too..I see them in Gurudwara or temple..

.JUST FOR SAKE OF THEIR LOVE!!(they did not change for Career opportunities)if that is the case...

..As long as its a good human being with good intentions of work for making world a better place to live it hardly matters.....
