The Uncalled TV detox

Day 1: Without TV

It was a bright sunny day and the 30th birthday of my dear brother in law on the April 7th when it crashed! My kids and my heart 
was deeply crushed with the sight of it. I was  trying with whole lot of new batteries and the buttons on the tv as well as the
remote, hoping for some magic to happen and it turns on..but all thanks to my badluck ,all efforts were going in vain. The home suddenly fely
so dull and quiet (ofcourse the background noise of my kids are always there). I didn't loose hope and thought to try my again in evening.
The evening also brought dismay and there was nothing to be done.

Day 2: Without tv

Our dear TV was suffering and we were suffering even more as we are so used to his presence, it was a friday, a weekend so the
customer care was out of reach and we din't have any other option than to just wait for the weekend to finish. With handful of two kids by your side it was hard to keep them entertained without TV.But somehow I managed with sorting the other sibling battles

Day  3:Without TV

We are missing watching tv so much,specially my younger son ..as his favourite nursery rhymes are no longer showing up on the screen
he is giving me the remote again and again  indicating to start it, it was a misery to watch crushing his expectation although
IPAD came to rescue still my TV has no comparisons. It was standing still and blank waiting for us to help.

Day 4: Without TV

The first thing in the morning i did was calling the customer care and they came and took the TV ! It is gone and we are feeling
lonely without it..no more cartoons or songs or daily soaps...life seemed so cruel and empty

Day 5: Without TV

It may take a while to get it ok may be 3 days to a week!i am so clueless to what to do ...as if i am missing my best friend
someone who comforts me when i am down (except coffee)..someone who wakes me up to a brighter day...someone who will not mind even if i change the channels
endlessly...someone whom my sofaset faces towards..Its so unusual how we get attached to all these electronics as if it was a
real person entertaining day in and out...In the hope to hear to the customer care soon i pass my time.
.....to be continued

In Time

This very innovative movie i saw some days ago...it literally forced me to think of a scenario talked about...so the trading medium or currency was time n not money...for everything to buy...lease...sell...use u had to have time...with the clock ticking with the remaining te of ur life in ur hands...u r bound to lend time from bank with a handsome interest rates..nt even this..u mortgage ur jewellery to get time...thugs n robber steal time...it was a different movie with a surreal subject...but the best and the main part was that u dnt age more than 25 in life after 25 ur clock starts ticking....so even u have million years after turning 25... for those million years u will look the same wen u were 25... hands on to the concept...i wud like to see some more movies with such conception...

20 seconds

20 seconds of sheer courage. 
20 seconds of insane bravery.
20 seconds of odd embarrassment...
Only 20 seconds it takes to take a step forward n do what you have been trying to do...
Just those 20 seconds to change your life upside down...
To make it the way u want...
Don't let those 20 seconds run out
Coz thats the only time something can change..
The only time u will nt regret.
The only time u live for urself.
The only time u can stand for it.
Just 20 seconds of insanity.....to the forever of satiety!!!!
Think bout it.

The ecstasy called "Shopping"

OMG..I was coveting to write bout shopping...
Personally there's only one thing i do with full zest and that is "Shopping"
This addiction is also termed as Oniomania...
I recently watched a movie called confessions of a shopaholic..
I loved the flick..the way they have shown the mindset of a shopaholic
How when the actor passes by the store, the mannequin urges her to buy.
But it actually happens..the same way..uncontrollable
Later in the movie.. the guru who helps in reducing the shopping suggests
Whenever you wanna buy any stuff ..just ask yourself --" do u need it "
So i tried this onetime ...and first the answer came no..but then it came ..may be not ..i don't have the same colour...
The pleasure of having the possession post purchase is divine
That feeling of ownership fills your heart with so much of content
Shopping also overcomes the mood swings...
I am telling you ..whoever doen't enjoy shopping is missing one of the good things in life..
The colours..textures..just woo your heart away..into an another world..
I may be speaking french for some but for others who understand what i am saying this will surely click :)))

Flash of the genius

Usually i am a big movie buff specially english movies..
I can do all what it takes to watch at least one a day
So yesterday i encountered an amazingly inspiring movie.."Flash of the Genius"
The hero of the movie greg kinnear is shown to have fought the court case for damn 12years just to get the recognition for the invention he did..which a company copied..
I am telling you its a treat to watch..
This guy lost everything in life family...money
But he fought the case on his own with no lawyer ready to fight his case..
At the end of the fierce and tiring 12 years, he got the recognition and a handsome amount..
He was so confident that he could fix it ...never lost hope..just hung to it till the end..
I have read somewhere that the people who are over confident follow the rules
and the ones who are confident follow exception
I was wondering these artistic guys are so madly passionate about their stuff..
They can go to any level to make it real and going..
But somewhere i feel the same passion is shared with people with little or nothing to loose
Coz they can put in their 100 % without any fear to loose..and ofcourse the urge to get on the top as they are haunted by their lifestyle
Normal people like us have to put alot effort to get that passion..lot of fears engrave..
A lot of times we become passionate but the passion falls short in becoming a mania
and until unless it doesn't gets into the head like a mania ..things just doesn't happen
On similar lines i have also seen a movie called "Erin Brokovich"
As again it is a fabulously inspiring movie..makes you to think..don't just be another lamb in the herd..raise voice for justice..
The way passionately Julia Roberts goes all around the issue and finally helping the people with justice..
It requires a lot of courage i would say ..to be different and stand for it till the end..
Seeing these exhilarating people..sticking to a thing ....makes me have those goosebumps..
I crave, if I can have even 1/4 of that kind of a passion to make my dreams come true!!
Do watch them if you get a chance...they are eye opening..
