Life Is Interesting: The Protagonist Problem
http://friendsandmusic-omkar.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-protagonist-problem.html
Wednesday, June 18, 2014. No, dear. I don't mind you hurting me. You didn't do it intentionally, right? So what, if you don't love me! I'll do whatever I can to get you and the one you love, together," he says. She looks at him with a mixture of gratitude, empathy, and (without any euphemism) pity! And what a great story it is! Hurraah, for the protagonist! And now I get back to you and me (come on, very trim chance of you having story as above! And me - well, that's what this post is all about! We, to v...

Life Is Interesting: April 2013
http://friendsandmusic-omkar.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 30, 2013. April-May is that time of the year, when school vacations are going, Mangoes satiate most of us, the Air-Conditioner business sees happy times, and well, IPL happens. Recently, I got to thinking about the teams participating in IPL and their stylish-trendy-rocking-dashing names. And then I was thinking, do these teams justify the names that they have got? Delhi Daredevils : A name that gives a very exciting impression to someone. For most parts, with the kind of players that ...

Tuesday, July 15, 2014. It's a lazy afternoon, after a long time. I lie down, relaxing while watching TV. And then, it happened. I had simply forgotten, how I was supposed to react, when it used to happen. It was an SMS - not just any random promotional SMS, an SMS from an actual friend! I open the SMS, only to see the following message - "Hey, join me on hike! The only Indian messaging app! It lets you show your 'Last Seen' only to select friends! Is so damn significant! No, don't even think about sayin...

Sunday, October 5, 2014. Random Musing - 1: News Feed, or Ego Feed? People say, that humans have the tendency (read guts) to say much more using media that lets them hide their faces while at it. Perhaps true. Often in my "News Feed", or for anyone's for that matter, there appear every now and then discussions that later turn into one-upmanship contests. And some arguments (read desperate attempts) are hilarious. Random Musing - 2: Comments that do not live beyond 10 seconds* * *. Or, further list of "Di...

Life Is Interesting: Zindagi ek Chai ka Pyaala
http://friendsandmusic-omkar.blogspot.com/2014/06/zindagi-ek-chai-ka-pyaala.html
Monday, June 2, 2014. Zindagi ek Chai ka Pyaala. Ummeedein, mushkile, nateeje, faisle,. Lagne ko toh lagta kathin mixture hai. Asal mein toh zindagi ka bada saral formula hai,. Zindagi toh bas ek chai ka pyaala hai. Gareeb ho ya ameer, dono is se na choote. Apni apni tarah se dono ise jee lete. Ek ka simple kaanch ke cup mein, toh ek ka china clay mein daala hai. Zindagi toh bas ek chai ka pyaala hai. Sahi hisse ki peeyo toh refreshing positivity hai,. Zaroorat se jyada ho toh sirf acidity hai,. I am bas...

Tuesday, February 4, 2014. Mystified, inspired, humbled. No, this post is not about politics, it's not a critique/satire on our so called visionaries. It is about this one person. It is about whether she could actually achieve to do that on a small scale at least. So, I was talking to Maavshi. Why is she in this exhibition? This lady says, "When I come forward, I stand to be an inspiration for a number of women. They feel - if she can do it, why can't I? And you know what is the most important thing?

Saturday, August 31, 2013. Dreamt as a journey. Breeze, that flows by me. As I pass by destinations. The points in time that passed. Become the scent in the breeze. As I go through the motions. The fragrance brings forth. Those incidents, those people. They generally prefer to stay. In the comfortable memory rooms. They come out together, they topple. I close my eyes, yet I see those guys,. I hear those talks, I recreate those walks,. The walks were dreamt as a journey. That did comprise, routine surprise.

Friday, July 19, 2013. Local Train or Vocal Train? Datta Darshanaalaa Jaayaacha Jaayaacha Jaayaacha. Datta Darshanaalaa Jaayaacha Jaayaacha Jaayaacha. Anand potaat maajhya maaina ra maaina,. Anand potaat maajhya maaina.". Rough translation from Marathi - I go for "Darshan" of Lord Datta. And I just can't contain the happiness.). Is that what was the whole purpose behind the concept of singing "aarti" for different gods, in their unique sense of languages/religions/ethnicity? I have always believed so.

Wednesday, February 13, 2013. A child gets so happy and excited on seeing a balloon. He tries to blow one up himself. Slowly and steadily, balloon starts blowing up. Child gets more excited. He wants more. He keeps on with his efforts. There comes a time, when the balloon reaches its optimum size. But does the child know that it is in fact the optimum size? Does he have the ability to gauge that? If not, the balloon is going to burst, after all. In vain, isn't it? Eventually, I will say that expansion do...
