christmas and new year ----- a combo bonanza

hola ( hello)

well , I must that say that i am finally getting the hang of  sassy,Spanish . 

hope you enjoyed Christmas as much as I did ...............

The spirit this year was rather sombre and quiet , owing to terror attacks . 

Of course , our college didn't succumb to  all that and we had wonderful Christmas party and even color codes( red , green , blue , white on different days and even Santa caps!!!!!!!) , All the cakes were gone before the first bites and the best part was when all of us exchanged gifts, I got a wine cup shaped candle . It looks really attractive, grand from far . Since this is the first time I am studying in a Christian institution the whole affair excited me .... 

The year is   drawing to  a close ... It's been quite a year with so many up's and down's . The economy and the recession constitutes  the low part of it and also  the 

Mumbai attacks   , the kandhamal attacks which questioned our secularism  .

The golden stars are the Nuclear deal with USA getting through . India's first unmanned space mission to the moon , some wonderful  movies like Indiana Jones and the kingdom of crystal skull  , iron man , chronicles of Narnia -prince Caspian , 10,000 BC, quantum of solace , 10,000 BC , 27 dresses etc .. 

 Overall it's been a fairly good year keeping people on their toes 24*7.

I really wanted to write about the Da Vinci code that i happened to read recently . The book is definitely the master of all thrillers , one that you hard to put down , atleast i couldn't it !!!!! Some parts , were intriguing but bought had  " facts" that i found impossible to believe . I sat back and wondered how the Harry potter series ever outsold this book . 

so , that's it this time ..... 

WISH YOU A WONDERFUL AND A VERY PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR !!!!!!!

JINGLE ALL THE WAY

hi , 

There are quite a lot of things that I can write on this time  . First of all , The most interesting or better the most amusing event had been the fact that an Iraqi journalist threw 2 slippers on the American president , George W Bush , while he was addressing the media . Although the Prez looked calm and said that he was fine it was transparent that he was shaken from his base. The Iraqis consider slippers an insult  so it is evident that the journalist had something against him .But the journalist had the guts and audacity to do such an event .  The sequence of events were indeed hilarious. I personally feel that what Mr Bush did with Iraq was least in the  wrong , he took steps to admonish and finally put an end to the dictator , Saddam Hussein  who did outrageous acts such as putting people in the shredder .

Back in the country ... Today the Taj and the Trident reopened their business post the terror attacks in Mumbai . Last week during the ITA  awards , which is believed to be the biggest TV award show - " Balika Vadhu " bagged the prize for the best serial . I must admit that the serial is different from the other soaps that are viewed. It relates to a world beyond the " saas - bahu " rows or stunts such as the hero reborn again ...... The serial is all about a girl who falls a prey to the social evils in rajasthan and is married at the age of 10 ( child marriage still prevails in remote places of rajasthan ).The girl  has the will to study and cannot because of the social restrictions . It is a must see serial .

Besides Christmas spirit is in the air , and people are resorting to paying rather than partying,  Time limit  for partying has been reduced for security reasons , which is  a wise act by the government .....

So , the only thing to be said is just tuck into those plum cakes and ENJOY !!!!!!

FELIZ NAVIDAD !!!!!!!!!! ( MERRY CHRISTMAS )   

feel the beat !!!!!!!

well hello again ,
"pulse .... the beat gets louder " . That was the tagline of our inter collegiate fest that was held on 11th , 12th and 13th Dec . The fest consisted of 72 events including a fashion show . The aura was enthusiastic and everyone was filled with zeal and zest . the events started at 8:00 am and went upto 5'o clock in the evening . The competitions were indeed interesting to watch . The college was packed with students moving up and down . We tucked into practically everything, so was everybody else !!!!!!!! there was a rock band too that as performing , so that made it all the more special for us !!!!!!!!!!!!
otherwise things are good , but i am sure it is not with the world . The financial setback is getting worse and people are happy if the day goes without being shown the doors at their workplaces .
analysts say that it is going a long time to get things "back to normal " ...

so that's it for now
gracious !!!!! ( gracias )

terror and the country

hi ... 

Things seem to getting back to normal in the country ,Following the resignation of the Union Home minister, Shivraj Patil and the chief minister of Maharastra . It was sure surprising the anger Indians showed post the attacks . It seemed as if they were ready to shoot any minister they saw . After all, what is wrong in reacting that way when , they are to blame for all these attacks.Intelligence reports say that they were warned beforehand but not only a deaf ear but also a blind eye . What is more shocking in all this political drama is that they made the Finance minister the new Home minister . It sounds so ludicrous and absurd . Aren't there any qualification for a position in the Indian ministry ?? Does the new Home Minister have even the slightest idea on how he has to deal with his new portfolio??? Is such a switch required when the economy too is in crisis ??? it would make more sense if they put Pranab Mukherjee in place of Mr . Patil . 

One Thing is for sure this drama would get an" O' Henry twist " every now and then . 

Although investigation is on , wonder how long it will take long to crack the case ??

Security has also been tightened following a threat that was received to hijack a plane and the16  anniversary of the Babri masjid demolition  .....

My family lit a candle for the martyrs who laid down their lives ..... I hope that the light is bright enough to eradicate an eerie darkness called " terrorism "
