X is for xronia polla na zissis

This is a Greek Wish which means long live which is given by elders on festivals to all youngsters something similar to our jeete raho!


If there is something that I could say this to, it would be love and humanity. I see a steady decline in the morals and value systems of people all around and it is really very disheartening to see that. When I was in school I love you meant I will marry you and we are together forever. Today I love you means I love you it need not mean anything further unless specified. Time has witnessed some convenience based arrangements being made in relationships. Lust gets camouflaged under love and relationships break at the click of a button.

Rather than being happy for the sake of being happy people pose happily for pictures to show to others on social networking sites though their lives might be an emotional mess. The tolerance level of people has come down drastically where waiting, understanding, being patient are things of the past. In today’s times of instant noodles and instant food packets they want everything instant and incase it is not so, the results are shocking. Teenagers become murderers when denied more pocket money and people commit adultery when denied space. 

I wonder if we actually know what we want from life? Is it money or is it love? Is it fame or is it loved ones? More often than not we end up paying a huge price for dreams to come true and when we look around we don’t find anyone around us to celebrate the success. I want each one to care for the other, love them and be respectful atleast for the sake of humanity if nothing else. It would surely make the world a better place to live.

Hence I would just say - xronia polla na zissis Love!! We need you <3

Books on Cinema

For a long time, cinema was a world I wasn’t allowed to enter. I grew up in a home where movies were banned. No television, no glimpses of silver screens, and no songs echoing from old classics. For nearly a decade, cinema was a forbidden word like a secret behind a closed door.  And yet, like all things that carry truth and longing, it found its way to me. Stories have a way of finding you, slipping through cracks, whispered between pages, caught in melodies. Sometimes through the corners of borrowed books, sometimes through whispered summaries from classmates, sometimes just through the magnetic pull of posters and songs I wasn’t supposed to hear. 

Book Review: The Ultimate Reality by Gian Kumar (Book 3)

Introduction ISIN: 978-93-52013-74-6 Genre:  Non-fiction / Self help Publishers:  Celestial Books (Leadstart Corp) Price:  Rs. 199/- (  I got the book from the publisher for a review ) In this third book, the author Gian Kumar has ventured into experiential awareness. His earlier books had shown that in spite of material and digital comforts in the world today, we are still living a life of dualities. Happiness-unhappiness, good-bad, God-devil, all exist side by side. Following spiritual teachings of gurus or masters do not give the much needed solace; there still seems to be something missing. The mind, with its constant chatter and habit of delving into past experiences and anxieties about the future, does not allow to live in the present moment and be aware in the 'now'. By the time our mind can register it, there is already a new 'now' which has taken its place. Here, the author has brought us into a deeper existence, where through experiential realiz...
