POST 26/11 INDIA:

Friends I could have well written this article soon after the mayhem took place when the terror strike Mumbai on 26 November 2008, but somehow I waited, primarily to come out of shock, to relive myself from what I had witnessed and secondarily to wait and watch that what different I am going to witness from the action taken by our government.

Today exactly one month later the black day of our life I am going to spur out my anger but before that I take this opportunity to pay my tribute to all the national heroes who laid their life to save us from the horrendous day of our life.

SILENCE-The Ultimate Weapon

Silence of our Loved ones can be a Lethal Weapon

"Silence Speaks Better Than Words" always heard this saying but never gave a thought to it neither did i realize the power it withholds. But recently i realized that it really makes sense sometimes to follow it. Though for normal people it might be difficult to follow as our rational mind denies to keep silent when things are going wrong and there's lot of furry everywhere.


But then; if we give a deep thought we realize that when actually things are going worst for you  when they are going just opposite to what you might have thought and when you are taken by unexpected changes [behavioral or beliefs] there's no point in going wild and trying to sort out things that moment, as it only adds in the fuss and makes things more complicated and unsolvable.


At such moments if we keep silence, it makes lot of sense as it gives us and our companion the time needed to think "Why is this Happening? Whats the issue after all? Whats the solution to it?"
When we confront above questions one by one and sincerely try to answer them we find it much easy to solve them and come out of that so uncomfortable situation. So it makes a real sense sometimes to be smart rather than outbursting and going all guns blazing to solve some issues.


Now lets take a different situation wherein your companion is mad in temper and you are facing the music, even here if you keep your cool and maintain silence more often than not it works!
Simple logic implies that a person can go on and on; but if no one responds, he stops and gives it a thought that after all what is he doing. Sometimes it also helps in a relationship as your partner gets that cushion to speak her heart out and remove her frustration knowing that you will understand.

Finally lets take a case where your competitors are going all blaze against you abusing you planning plots against you and trying to defame you, under such circumstances I agree you have to respond, but wait strike at appropriate moment until then hold on to your biggest weapon "SILENCE". Your enemies will wonder why you are calm and that will make them rationalize your move making them think what you must be thinking and in doing so giving you that opportunity to strike, and when you get it go for it and strike hard.

WALK DOWN THE MEMORY LANE...

It was back in Dec2005 that "WE THE FRIENDS" had been for our first trip and who can forget the place, it was Alibaug! We had a great time then, those two days we had a great fun and we had planned that every winter we shall take a trip for sure. However it never turned out to be as we thought, always we had plans cooking but could never actually execute them courtesy lots if spoilers that we had in our group with Bhavesh leading that pack .

Finally it was this year that we were able to make it (not that easily again there were those lazy heads and air of uncertainty around) But luckily things turned up good and eventually on 25th Jan 2008 we left for our awaited journey. Where?? well with not much time in our hands we thought why not revisit our past destination which is near as compared to Goa and still gives near about same thrill and excitement!

Around midnight (2:30am) we reached Kashid, where we rested in the cottage and as the morning flourished we all headed to our journey. Around 11:30am we reached the famous MURUD JANJIRA FORT (the fort is build around a Km inside the sea coast) It was all adventurous as we had to travel in a sail ship towards the fort's main gate. It was quite cold out there too, so it just added to the thrill. All the way we had a great time enjoying the wonderful beaches along the coast of Kashid very clean and beautiful beaches I have seen so far.

We revisited all the places that we had three years back and tried to relive those moments and register these ones in our minds and heart so that we can remember them in times to come and cherish the friendship that we have shared for last few years. Knowing that it will get harder to find time in future as everyone of us gets engage in our personal activities and professional time bonds, we made sure we gather as many moments as possible so that we can cherish them in times to come.

It was great fun with you guys thanks a lot for everything.....
