April showers bring May flowers!

They say April showers bring May flowers! How true it is indeed!! At times I think how impossible it is to live life without such basic philosophy. We all pass through these ups & downs & when everything looks dark, we need someone to tell us there is gonna be a bright light at the end of this tunnel. Someone who keeps saying, "when winter is here, how far is spring?" Simple words like "it's all going to be fine" keep us going through the day. Atleast that's how I get through the day. As a kid I always liked the saying, "Every dark cloud has a silver lining" & it is today that I truely understand what it means. HOPE is a big word & gives us the chance to expect goodness, positivity from life. How I hope I would never turn 30!! ha ha, only if wishes were horses!
When I look at Subir, I envy him for his innocence, I feel so happy that all it takes to make him merry are some treats (bananas, a cool breeze, & his aai besides him). This is totally out of context here, but life's greatest treasures are also the simplest! I wish I had that majic wand where I could go back & live the life of a toddler, on second thought naaahh, I won't have Subir with me then!

Dance of democracy 2009

Times of India came up with an apt caption for election 2009 in India, Dance of democracy & what a competetion at that! Can give all the Jhalak's & other dance shows a run for their money. Results came out unpredictable. Analysts have dropped their jaws for that matter! I think all of us should stop underestimating our "junta" who elects a Government. Same was proved in US when Obama made it to presidency. In India it is proved again that BJP doesn;t have a national image or any following as such except beyond some regional exceptions. Also people are tired of Hindu jingoism, ditto ram mandir et. al kinda issues. I mean we want some economic policies, lets talk about some reforms, lets talk about how we will get out or survive this economy! I am personally glad it's Congress again & with majority.
In one of my previous posts I had criticized some things about India & an angry reader left me a comment saying how I have no right to say anything about India since I might never have donated, voted or done anything good for India. Well what i have done or not is not for me to publish in a public blog. But my blog are my opinions, & honestly speaking, do we stop having opinions about our family when we move out of our parent's home? does that mean we are too good for them & don't love them enough? Certainly not!

I am back to my food blog. Will try to stick around tight this time around.
