Sachin's Father vs My Father !!!

            291st BLOG -->>

       Hello friends !!! I am little sorry to be away from my blogs. I keep intimating on my Twitter account about my absence. Some readers said that as they have habit to see my new posts daily on my blog, they feel cheated and bluffed when they see no new post for a day. Wow. I am happy to hear this that there are some people who wait for my blogs. Haha. My main purpose to join twitter was just because I wanted my readers to know about what is going in my personal life when they don't get my blogs to read. I know that I am not that big writer or any celebrity that people would be dying in any corner of the world to read my words and hear from my side but still I want to act like them. If I don't have the status to sit in Taj hotel daily that doesn't means that I can't save the money and have a cup of tea there. Right naa? So same here. If my book isn't publishing that doesn't means that I can not live a life of a writer. Bhavnaao ko samjho !!!

           Sachin Tendulkar - the greatest player ever on the Earth (Sorry Sir Don Bradman) has been honored with the title of Group Captain by IAF. He is the first cricketer to be awarded with this title. One more record in the name of Master Blaster. I am so proud of this man that I want him to share a word once with me. It will motivate me in such a way that I am sure ki I'll turn into one of the biggest celebrity and achiever of this country. I just need an interaction with him. Sachin Sir, are you listening to my quest? I love you more than your wife does to you !!! ;-) Not gay waala love, its about Respect waala love. Today, while press conference Sachin said that whatever he is today, it is all because of his father that he never stopped him or pulled him back from his passion and thus it made him comfortable to play cricket in his young age and hence he has achieved so much. In the evening, I was arguing with my father the same that in spite of being a professor, Sachin's father never told him to study and not play cricket, why do you pull me back from writing?

           This debate is very obnoxious from my father's perception because he can't bow in front of me and say that Go my son, I have full confidence on you that you will be the bestseller author of our nation in few years. This is where my point of view takes a firm position. I am confident that I'll be successful in publishing my novel. I know there are many hurdles in the path but I am ready to surpass them. But when it comes to my father's belief on me, he thinks that I am dreaming of touching sky and flying like plane above the earth. I keep telling him that every author would have dreamed once of publishing his story and hence they are an author today but he has a fear that his child will end up his passion, career, living if he fails in publishing his story. From the father's view, Yes, He is absolutely right. I am with him. But even Sachin's father was a father. When he can believe on his son who was so thin and so small height ed that no one could have believed that his small legs would run so fast and make the highest runs by any cricketer ever, why can't my father trust me whose son knows English and knows how to write and what to write. 

           I need a firm and positive support from my father. He knows that I write well but he doubts my speed and skill when it comes to competition with the world. Hope I'll prove him wrong and win the competition of this field in near future and make him proud of his son that he had the skills and thus his son always had abilities to be a writer. Path is hard but I have Sachin's poster in my bedroom which keeps me aware of my dream and how much hard work has to be put in to achieve it.

          Friends, plz pray for me..

Thanks.

Janmashtami - Lord Krishna's Birth !!!

           290th BLOG -->>

       Today, I didn't went to the college because of the dull body and its slow movements. I went for the checkup and had blood test. Typhoid with low haemoglobin is detected. I am worried now. I don't want to be sick as of now because I hate lying on bed and staring my ceiling and thinking of when will I'll be able to walk and perform again. I hate this inactive days and hence I don't want to be the victim of this disease. I have started taking precaution. Doctor said not to drink impure water and he said not to eat anything from outside. Hope I'll follow the doctor's word. From last 3 weeks, I have consumed more than 150 tablets. All the taste of my mouth has disappeared somewhere and it will take time to return back. I am just hating the druggy taste which has stuck in my mouth and because of which I can't taste anything I eat and drink. Today, in one on my tweet, I published about my blood report and I received 15 SMSes of wishes to recover from the illness. I am so touched with the care my friends have showed towards me. Thank you friends. Hope I'll recover soon.

            As I said yesterday in my blog that September is the month of Festivals and Celebrations. It starts from tomorrow itself. Tomorrow, we have Janmashtami. Krishna Janmashtami-  कृष्ण जन्माष्टमी) , also known as "Krishnashtami","Saatam Aatham" ,"Gokulashtami", "Ashtami Rohini", "Srikrishna Jayanti", "Sree Jayanthi" or sometimes merely as "Janmashtami", is a Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna, an avatar of the Hindu deity Vishnu.
 
            Krishna Janmashtami is observed on the Ashtami tithi, the eighth day of the dark half or 
 Krishna Paksha of the month of Shraavana in the Hindu calendar, when the Rohini Nakshatra is ascendant. The festival always falls within mid-August to mid-September in the Gregorian calendar. In 2009, for example, the festival was celebrated on the 14th of August, while in 2010, the festival will be celebrated on 2 September.
 
            Rasa lila or dramatic enactments of the life of Krishna are a special feature in regions of Mathura and Vrindavan, and regions following Vaishnavism in Manipur. While the Rasa Lila recreates the flirtatious aspects of Krishna's youthful days, Govinda Pathaks or Dahi Handi celebrate the God's playful and mischievous side, where teams of young men form human pyramids to reach a high-hanging pot of butter and break it.

Its me

            In Maharashtra, Janmashtami is actually known as Dahi Handi where young boys form pyramid to reach a pot hung above consisting of curd. The topmost boy breaks it with coconut and thus the Dahi falls on all the young boys trying to reach it. This shows the power of unity and its effective effect. I remember once I was also in the team of my colony's pyramid. We broke the handi in front of everyone and I got Rs. 250 as prasad from our colony. That was my first earning. So Janmashtami is very close to me. I have also participated in my school and I was dresses as Lord Krishna. You can see the picture in the adjacent pic. 

          I remember that when I was in my colony, there used to be bhajans and kirtans all night. Our mothers used to sing bhajans in the mandir while all of us used to play in the colony campus in the late nights till the time the function didn't used to get over. Festivals has its deep meaning and deep connection with our lives. We just have to take these festivals heartily and join different people who celebrate it. Now-a-days, even Muslims and Christians boys too join their shoulders for forming the pyramid on the Dahi Handi's eve. It is really an enhancing news for our country. Hope this festival will bring back the unity of our country and its people.

 Thanks.

Report Card for August - 1600+ Visits !!!

            289th BLOG -->>

August's Progress

        

              Here, with this Blog, the month of August ends too. The 8th month of 2010 ends and from tomorrow the 9th month - September full of festivals and celebrations will start. I am damn excited about the month. As you all know that at every end of the month, I, as a Blogger, post my progress report of the month on my blog. So, here on 31st August I am back with my report card. August has not been quite easy for me if we talk about my blog and my personal life too. Many erratic activities kept on creeping in my life. I tried to manage many of them but still I got trapped into many. I have been sick all this month. I didn't wrote blogs for 5 to 6 days continuously from 13th to 17th of August something. This can be seen in the graph pasted above in this blog post. My father took many leaves this month and because of which he was at home with me. He insisted me to sleep on time and therefore I was unable to post a blog daily. I apologize to you for this.

            However, day before yesterday, I posted 3 blogs and thus maintained somewhat the average of my blog. I posted 2 blogs yesterday too. Many readers would have felt this as an overdose but I hope that all of you would remember the week when I didn't wrote a single post on my blog. So when there is drought on my blog, there can be a flood too. Right? So you can count these last two days as an overdose on my blog. However, I have posted 29 posts in 31 days in this month which is almost near to my target. Missed by 2 !!!

          This month, I have posted many precious blogs if talking about my perceptions on them. I have written about many of my friends including Ganesh bhai, Rohit, Suresh, Raman, Rahul bhai, Swapnil and our very own Pratik who is no more with us. I also wrote two autobiographies this month- One about the Leh's victim and one about the father whose son committed suicide and lost his life. I got a huge appreciation for both the blogs. My friend and member of this blog too - Salman contributed two blog posts this month. One as a condolence to our friend Pratik and second as the monthly article which states a story about a boy. My senior - Rishab Dahiya too contributed a beautiful post on my blog. Author Azhan Ahsan commented on one of my blog this month and thus made me proud of being a writer and being associated with this field of talent. I also wrote about festivals in this month - Raksha bandhan, Ramzaan, Onam and MJ's birth anniversary. Thanks to my fingers who type all this. I love them.

            As we can see in the graph above that my blog didn't got much click in the middle of this month but still it was enough as there was not much posts posted in that period of time. The last week on my blog has been marvelous. I got more than 100 clicks a day. I have also received a lot of comments this month on my blog and I am so happy about it. On 28th, I received 131 clicks, On 25th - 120 clicks, on 29th - 102 clicks. I am quite happy about these numbers as it motivates me a lot to write. So in all I have received some 1600+ visits on my blog this month. I am so happy about this. It is better than the last month's stat. America and Australia are the two countries where my blogs are read the most after India. I am so happy for this. I never expected that these whites will ever read my blog. Haha.

          I am not saying much in this post as I am sick and these tablets have kept me sitting from last 30 minutes which is making it possible for me to interact with all of you. Next month is going to be special for my blog as I will be completing 200 posts of 2010 and 300 blog posts of my blogging career. I will try to write more versatile blogs next month. Friends, please pray for my good health and body.

   Thanks.
