The Readie Read tag

"If you've read this and you have a blog, you're it - don't shirk." I read t his line at the bottom of a post at bookey wookey and decided to go for it. Not because i will manage some very cool answers, because many blog members can cook out something great out of it. This weird name u saw on the title, was coined by your very own Mr. Mangal.Please don't try to kill me for that, i couldn't find any better name hehe. 1. Do you remember learning to read? How old were you? Good question.I don't know the answer.I went to school in the year 1991. Maybe around that time.Or perhaps later.Thanks for the question i will definitely ask mom dad tomorrow. 2. What do you find most challenging to read? Good ques again. Non-fiction.Especially autobiographies and religious text. Fiction can be read faster,uses minimum brain and is more comfy.It takes months to finish a non-fiction.Huhhhh!!!! 3. What are your library habits? We don't have any proper librarie...

The Story Of my Musings - Feedbacks

Feedbacks always a crucial role in any public blog.Infact that is how we identify a blog.Its an interactive medium. *One of my ardent wish was to receive some kind of feedback from my sis.She never gave any.SHe never saw my musings. *Once she told me, that some friend of her, had found my musings somewhere and had liked it. That compliment is quite close to my heart. * Most of the feedback i got was not in form of comments on this blog but on yahoo,on phone, on orkut, i mean personal feedback i got most of it. * The series most commented was jagruti.Its a whole new blog now.But i got a lot of comments on it mostly positive but negative ones too. *I generally use the word feedback but many people as we saw in the nidhi episode commonly use the word criticism.I think feedback is a more optimistic and constructive word then criticism which implies total negativity. We all should prefer the word Feedback. * Feedback is something which kept the motivation level of the blog high.I feel i ...

The traditional woman and the "today's" woman

SEX EQUALITY..! yeah right...! Now please don't mistake me for a male chauvinist. What i have presented below are merely a set of views which can be termed as gratuitous but still i would like to name them the result of my deliberations. I take my culture ,traditions and religion into picture and try hard but yet fail to condone the way in which women are praised and given a status far greater than that of man. She has been bestowed with appellations that would leave a flatterer gasping for breath, I mean if there was a word to describe " exaggeration beyond limits" then it would suffice, but i guess the phenomenon is ineffable. The apotheosis of woman in every role she plays simply leaves me wondering about the inscrutability of these appellations as i see no justification behind them when "today's woman" is juxtaposed with them(no offense meant). I am sure ,for many of the readers, the above article would have been infuriating and a chauvinist image of me,...

“hi, who really killed 35 citizens in Chittisinghpura – truth beneath the tragedy?

On 20 March 2000, 35 Sikhs were massacred in Chittisinghpura, Kashmir. India blamed Pakistan-backed militants. Yet CBI investigations later revealed discrepancies. Survivors, including Nanak Singh, and statements from Lt‑Gen K.S. Gill, and even Bill Clinton suggest a darker truth. This article traces the facts, emotional testimonies, and the urgent healing required to confront such trauma. Intro – Becoming the Light On the evening of 20 March 2000, darkness fell in Chittisinghpura—a gunman in military fatigues ordered Sikh men into the night, only to shoot them point‑blank. Thirty‑five lives—thirty men and five boys—were extinguished just as President Clinton prepared to visit India. Was it a militant attack? A misdirection? Or something more sinister? 💬 “Would you like a sacred space to ask for help—without shame or fear?” That question leads us into this exploration—not just for facts, but for the hearts and traumas behind them, urging collective healing. 🧩 Why This Story Mat...
