Hazaaron Khwaishein........: Over and Out !
http://gauravfarkade.blogspot.com/2007/03/over-and-out.html
Wednesday, March 28, 2007. Over-enthusiastic fans, over-charged by the discussions of over-talkative ex-cricketers being aired on over-hyped TV channels, fueled by over-optimistic media managers, who bought over-priced Ad slots and then .a set of over-rated players performing to their potential . That's how the World Cup 2007 got over for India! PS - Yours truly was rooting for Dinesh Kartik from day 1, but the chap was never pikced up :(. Can't beat this excitement. 7:48 AM, April 02, 2007.

Hazaaron Khwaishein........: April 2007

Saturday, April 21, 2007. India Shining , India Poised? While there's celebration (some well-deserved) over India one the move, you come across a shocking incident of a teacher spraying goumutra on Dalit students to purify them (and also of the effects of an earlier Dalit headmistress)! Some might dismiss it as a one-off incident in Maharashtra - one of the progressive states, but it's an indication of how deeply rooted the misconceptions still are. At least, lets not deny that these issues still exist.

Sunday, May 27, 2007. The recent speech by the PM seems like yet another case of diversion tactics. Coming from the man who's credited with the economic reforms (though it was the forex-crisis which forced to take tough decision, still no one can question his wisdom and service to the economy),it shows the frustration and political compulsions. Are CEOs drawing fat pay-cheques, people spending on lavish weddings responsible for the inhuman conditions in which millions of our countrymen live? Charity they...

Hazaaron Khwaishein........: Election Heat !
http://gauravfarkade.blogspot.com/2008/05/election-heat.html
Tuesday, May 06, 2008. I have been following the run-up to the Nominations for the US Presidential elections since December and must say it's been quite an interesting experience.Although the major source has been the mainstream TV channels CNN, NBC, (even) Fox News and websites I have also managed to read some independent blogs and websites from units like MediaMatters. While the socio-economic realities in India are different and we have a parliamentary system, it is difficult to say which one is bette...

Wednesday, March 28, 2007. Miss Palampur - My Take! For the uninitiated, there's a television commercial for Cadbury featuring Big B. Thanks to Youtube, you can view it online too - http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Ok, getting to the point. Last night, as the News channels were reporting the 'imporant' dates for the 'crucial 'AB Baby Aishwarya marriage, the remote came handy to avoid further torture, and there you had the Big B selling Cadbury on the other channel. Bahurani bahut sundar hai! PS - Yours trul...

Sunday, May 18, 2008. My Experiment with Sushi. Well the excitement around Sushi is not new and one keeps reading, watching, hearing about it every now and then. I had been eager to try out Sushi to figure out what all the talk was about. There are two things that one would not want to happen when trying out a new cuisine/dish -. 1Trying it at a restaurant where they might not know how to prepare it and they end up serving you with a version which is enough to keep you away from further adventures. I sat...

Hazaaron Khwaishein........: November 2006
http://gauravfarkade.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 06, 2006. A lot of News channels seem to be doing everything but serious issue based news reporting. Hour-long crime Bulletins with dramatization, at times seemingly pointless discussions on cricket matches .where are we going? Irrespective of the political leanings of a particular media house / Channel (which are anyways well known), it’s only fair to expect basic responsible behavior when it comes to matters of certain social issues and matters of governance. Hopefully compet...

Hazaaron Khwaishein........: October 2006
http://gauravfarkade.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 31, 2006. What can I do? Things could have easily been very very different and far more tragic. I shuddered at the thought of how many families and friends have lost their sons, brothers, and father. It filled me with anger and frustration - anger at what wrong have all these innocent people done. why do they have to suffer and frustration at not being able to contribute something worthwhile to help out (or rather not being able to figure out what to do). Member of the team and did pen d...
