words!!

Words or lingo is something which can destroy or build characters...so its wise to watch your words before the shooters are out...I am surprised to see ,how people behave publicly when its a tussle between two countries or I would say neighboring countries..I would not mention the name of any country here as every individual is different and upbringing is as per environment and situation...why I am mentioning all this? its weird to even talk ..but with complete stranger ....when you meet ,not knowing about the origin of the person how can you talk like that??

This lady came for some work..she picked up a topic of India .and started talking about India and media...(she was not an Indian).so all BS(bull shit )she said that she could think of!!!
what she said?you folks must be thinking???she said
"Indian girls are shameless creatures...their movies show all nonsense ....no dressing sense among Indian women....they believe in exposing and media shows all malnutrition people."".I was listening quietly wanted to see what was in her mind and what length she could go....
"look at the media ...bunch of idiots ..they think Indian women is very smart liberated not knowing they are whores.. they give that kinda look.."she said...for fame they do anything!!
I got up  rolling up sleeves...(I thought...high time let me give her some  "prasad"..the code word we used in the university when guys messed with us)
Oh .okay...I said" but then what are you?... look deep inside yourself ..all that malice you have ..overflowing out of you..what  made you say this?? and which movies are you watching ?? ...that you have so much experience of whores and other stuff....I wanted  to show her the door...but she looked at me and said"are you Indian?? yes!!.. do I look like a french women ??and what are  you blabbering?.most .Indian women wear decent clothes ..and most of the movies  are nice ...don't forget Slum dog millionaire or other movies nominated for Oscar...and with Media ..its always shows something that's over exaggerated ..I mean...why are you so pissed off with India...its politically motivated things on media...don't go for that!!! she kept quite..saying " I didn't know you are from India"..may be she was pretending....she said ..the media shows otherwise how do we know!!
Media shows lot of things about US or other countries too ..in movies and other stuff ..but reality is different .country is made of every kind of people good bad or ugly..no religion says to kill people...and as a matter of fact  ...its always the reality that matters!
she left quietly ...without uttering a word
living in US with different nationalities..where every race is there ...think before you utter a word against a nation or religion...its not degrading any body's nation or religion its degrading yourself it shows your character ...I was sad but really felt that day God has made some real good samples in this world no wonder why we see some samples being publicly insulted or deported back to their countries...with a label
"thanks..with no returns"

happy..nEW Year..2010

..Last night party at friends place..saying good bye to 2009 and welcoming 2010.. usually every year we have a family get together ,but this year ..since none of the family members were there.. as mom and dad have gone for a wedding to India..and my brother in law ..has gone to New york with family and kids ..we were left with our aunt and uncle ..who accompanied us to the party...as they are our commons friends ..it was fun though ...with dinner and couple dance... Sitting there I thought every new thing is celebrated ...it brings a hope and joy.. without any fear... every year ceremoniously we celebrate and welcome New year..But what significance does it have otherwise then an end of the year...
The beginning of spring is a logical time to start a new year. ....After all planting new crops, and of blossoming....
January 1, on the other hand, has no astronomical nor agricultural significance. It is purely arbitrary. NEW YEAR TRADITIONS.....
Other traditions of the season include the making of New Year's resolutions. Popular modern resolutions might include the promise to lose weight or quit smoking. The early age.. most popular resolution was to return borrowed farm equipment or money...
FOR LUCK IN THE NEW YEAR
Traditionally, it was thought that one could affect the luck they would have throughout the coming year by what they did or ate on the first day of the year. For that reason, it has become common for folks to celebrate the first few minutes of a brand new year in the company of family and friends. Parties often last into the middle of the night after the ringing in of a new year. It was once believed that the first visitor on New Year's Day would bring either good luck or bad luck the rest of the year. It was particularly lucky if that visitor happened to be a tall dark-haired man. We ate grapes ..twelve each served in bowls immediately after new year according to Spanish tradition..it brings good luck to start with fresh Green grapes.. ......Traditional New Year foods are also thought to bring luck. Many cultures believe that anything in the shape of a ring is good luck.....because it symbolizes "coming full circle," completing a year's cycle. For that reason, the Dutch believe that eating donuts on New Year's Day will bring good fortune.

Spain

The Spanish ritual on New Year's eve is to eat twelve grapes at midnight. The tradition is meant to secure twelve happy months in the coming year.

The Netherlands

The Dutch burn bonfires of Christmas trees on the street and launch fireworks. The fires are meant to purge the old and welcome the new.

Greece

In Greece, New Year's day is also the Festival of St. Basil, one of the founders of the Greek Orthodox Church. One of the traditional foods served is Vassilopitta, or St Basil's cake. A silver or gold coin is baked inside the cake. Whoever finds the coin in their piece of cake will be especially lucky during the coming year...

United States

Probably the most famous tradition in the United States is the dropping of the New Year ball in Times Square, New York City, at 11:59 P.M. .....Thousands gather to watch the ball make its one-minute descent, arriving exactly at midnight..... The tradition first began in 1907. The original ball was made of iron and wood; the current ball is made of Waterford Crystal, weighs 1,070 pounds, and is six feet in diameter......A traditional southern New Year's dish is Hoppin' John—black eyed peas and ham hocks. An old saying goes, "Eat peas on New Year's day to have plenty of everything the rest of the year..and I dont like green peas..

The Indian New Year is popularly known as the festival of Deepawali or DiwaliI jus love Dipawali.... This festival is celebrated for five days as it marks the beginning of the Hindu New Year.
