Yesterday whole day I was watching news channels, completely horrified specially listening to Arnab Goswami. He is always there on the channel for the whole day at the time of crisis. I could see the irritation of his face and could listen his helplessness in his voice. There was no break at all on the channel and were showing everything 'live'. The best was when he called Farukh Sheikh, Shaifali Chhaya and some other people in the studio. Everybody looking so uncertain about the situation and first time I could see everything what I wanted to speak to people 'live'. I specially liked Suhail ( the frustration on his speech) and the question of Arnab "Are you more frustrated this time because it happened in a seven star hotel?" Arnab also said with complete dismay "We reporters are tired of reporting about deaths due to these bomb blasts and human enimity" When will all this stop. The best part was when Suhail asked these politician "Jokers" on a national television. Somebody dared to do this.

These politicians are reaching at "site" to give their speeches and collecting their votes once again only after 24 hours of drama and after confirmation that situations are under control and their life is safe. First was Mr. L K Advani and then Mr. Vilas Rao Deshmukh with PM and Sonia Gandhi. The last but not the least is Mr. Narender Modi. Why all they have not reached with the NSG commandos? Why they don't understand that they are not required to these places as it inturrupts the work and some of the policemen are deputed for their safety who can be deployed somewhere else. When will all this be understood

Tanay came around 9:30 pm and we both were watching tv till 1am in the morning. We both were tired of the situation and finally slept. In between Ajay came with a paper gun and said "I will kill all of them with this gun" We were very upset to see that. I have never bought a toy gun for my children. I feel it gives a wrong message to them. I think watching TV and hearing all the gun and granade sounds made him doing that act. I was really upset and then talked to Ajji for a while.

Today again we are watching TV since 6 o'clock in the morning and this all is still on. Kids have not gone to school because Ex-prime-minister V P Singh died yesterday. Kids are happy but it is again difficult to watch TV with them. I wish to end all this and have a peaceful life. No more "Breaking News" on the TV pleeeaase. I am praying for everybody's safety...God bless them. I remember the song " Teri hai jameen tera aasman...Tu bada meharbaan..."

So scary and unbelievable

It all started when I picked up today's newspaper with the headline "A war on Mumbai". Oh god now what???? I just read the headline and woke up Tanay with utter disbelief. My initial reaction was " I just saw the news at 8 pm last night and nothing was wrong, what happened overnight" It is ridiculous. Immediately called our friends in Mumbai who informed that majorly roads were blocked in South Mumbai and he was also reach home at 1 o'clock at night. Why innocent people staying in these hotels majorly foreigners or big shots are suffering. It is getting worsen day by day. But this time I feel is the height of it...May be because bomb blast could not scared the people enough. Terrorists feels we are still united...still economy is doing its bit, India is still surviving in this tough time, people are working hard and harder to keep the things perfect, Nuclear deal is finalised....what is more irritating for the anti-india terrorists. But life will surely moves on and it will definitely from here too...

Watching "TIMES NOW" since morning and realising how committed and daring these army, navy and commandos and even news reporters are... They have their life on stake but still doing their jobs beautifully...Hats off to them. What makes their morale up...somewhere they also know that corruption and bad blood is in the environment but that doesn't stop them or demotivate them.. I salute their commitment and courage. Wish to end all this soon...

Oh god ...please help us

Last few months

Sometimes I wonder how these working ladies cope up with their family commitments. Its been almost a year since I left my last job and everytime I take a break from career and think "Now I will sleep a lot" (it's my favourite passtime :) if I am not going for work) That just doesn't happen..I was better organised when i have to get ready in the morning and go away. But everything has its positive and negatives. Since last few months, I cooked at least 30-35 new dishes(most of them were liked by family and friends) , painted two dresses, embroidried one kurta and learnt glass painting. Alongwith all that I spent quality time with Tanay and kids. It's so fulfilling and now going for yoga classes. It is really good and I feel more energetic. It is really enjoyable and satisfying. My most enjoyable time is when I listen to Manas playing guitar. It is my dream to see my sons "music lover" They sing and play guitar together. Mumma always says..."This is the best time with sons when they are between the age of 12 and 18 as they spend more time at home and their best friend are their mom and dad". Hope that continues :) Diwali was awesome this time as I made all the sweets at home and some diyas too. Surprisingly, I still not feel bored and not feeling like working again. Tanay is really happy with this scenerio as he knows that I can't sit at home for more than 6 months without work and this time it is almost a year. Let's see how long it continues ;)
