Where Are Those Dayzzzz......

As I was surfing channels on the television to catch up something to make me relax I did'nt get anything other then disappointment.

Seriously our television set is no more an entertaining medium rather it has become more superficial.,I mean where are those dayzzzz...... when television use to entertain us with good sets of series.....   

                        

Memorizing the old days I remember series like HUM PAANCH,HIP HIP HURRAY,JUST MOHABBAT,BANEGI APNI BAAT,DEKH BHAI DEKH....which were just outstanding.The short love stories RISHTEY which used to telecast on zee tv,made us realize true meaning of  relationship.While today we only have saas -bahu soap opera,which is truly useless as well as meaningless.

                                         

And ofcourse the DISNEY HOUR was the best hour during those time.RECESS, DUCK TALES, TALE SPIN....were more entertaining then present cartoon series..I hardly watch cartoons now, except for tom and jerry,doreamon and shinchan.Series like SMALL WONDER,I DREAM OF JENNIE and DIFFERENT STROKES had its own charm.......

Some of the channels like COLORS had brought tele-series like BALIKA VADHU which have spread social awareness which is something different,but unfortunately after that we had number of series on the same topic,so there's nothing different, we just get same salad served in different plates.

And if that is not enough we have number of reality show lined up on each channel,we have singers,we have dancers and we have comedians too, the only difference here is we have some judges who argue too much and some who  just laugh their lungs out.

                                      

Its sad that the saas-bahu opera which as I said before is useless (no offence,thats my opinion),do well and are never ending ,while good shows like MAHI-WAY,SARABHAI v/s SARABHAI,KHICHDI got wrapped up soon.

Currently my favourite show is RISHTA.COM  and I like watching TRAVEL and LIVING (atleast there is no saas,bahu or vamp in it..LOL).

Its really sad....the television ...which is my favourite thing in my house(yes even after the trash it shows inside).......is no more entertaining for me.

It's all GOD's plan......

       While surfing net yesterday I came across a beautiful story,which I would really like to share......

The Story: Wrong Number Sweety:

It was the day of my son’s XII results and I was so tensed. I sat beside him while he logged on the website with his registration no,”Mom”, he screamed in excitement, “I scored 1191, with centum in 4 subjects.” I can’t believe it. I kind of became numb in my excitement. My eyes became wet. I kissed him on his forehead and smiled.
Soon we realized that he stood first in the state. Oh, my joy knew no bounds when reporters and media persons soon swamped my house for interviews and photos. I was so honored to join him in the snaps.
I wanted to call my “wrong-number- friend” to tell him the news…… I was so excited. 

He was someone whom I have known for more than 20 years.
I still do not remember when we became friends, but certainly cannot forget the first day he called me when I blasted him for giving me so many wrong calls….. After that he had called up a week later asking apology, for he had now got the right number of his friend whom he wanted to talk to .We spoke for an hour that day…even without knowing each other’s names. Though he kept pestering me to reveal my name I never did and so he kept a name…Sweety. I used to feel so shy whenever he called me ‘Sweety’. I was doing first year of BSc. Maths then.
From then he used to call me very often. We almost discussed everything. By the final year of my college, we probably were in love, but I had been cautious. I was in a dilemma whether to tell him. But what if he was of a different religion? Do I have the courage to talk to my parents about it? ……..all these questions ran through my mind.
I decided I’ll not talk to him thereafter. When he called next time I lied to him  that I was going to Delhi for my post graduation. He gave me his office number and asked me to ring him up once I reach there. But I never called…… .
A couple of months later my marriage got fixed with a guy of my parent’s choice. I was not happy but I did not complain; rather accepted it as an obedient daughter. At times I felt I missed my wrong- number- friend…… .
My hubby was a moody person; I have hardly spent any good time with him- but he was genuine indeed and never bothered with my personal space. After 2 years we had a boy…Yet, I was not very happy with my married life…One day I happened to browse through my diary and found that I still had my old friend’s office phone number that he had given me. I dialed it and spoke with him. He said he was married and got a kid too. I was happy for him,though in the bottom of the heart I felt bad that I could not marry him.
From then I used to occasionally call him on that number. I never gave him mine as I felt that would put me in trouble… And till today I almost shared everything with him including my relationship with my hubby…..today I was so happy that I wanted to call him.
Just then I got a call. 

          “Your husband met with an accident and died on the spot” 

I banged the phone down. I broke. I did not call my friend…..I somehow started feeling guilty. I have never tried to talk to my husband properly when he was alive or moved close with him…. I felt I had been a bad wife……..
A couple of years passed and one day my son brought home a Bengali girl and said they wanted to get married. I got them married as I did not want my son to go through what I did.
I decided to give my son his father’s room and started clearing it. There was a phone book. I gently opened it to find,

                            “Wrong no Sweety – 26579785″!!!

Whatever GOD plans for us it will always be good and in the best interest of our lives but still in quest for getting everything we end up getting nothing. And in the end forget the real meaning of life and crib for what we do not get.

After reading this I realized my mistakes i have made in my life....for not accepting things as they come....for not allowing good to happen for the sake of bad thing that had happened in past.......this piece of story not only gave me hope but also courage to move on.......

A book that touched my heart.............

There can be no other best way to keep your mind fresh then reading a good book....well but sometimes u get (atleast me) confused which one should be(book) next.........
well encountering one such incident when i was stuck in a dilemma on which book should be next in my library when i came across the book...A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS...author KHALED HOSSEINI
To be very honest i was'nt impressed by its summary but it was the author's name that forced me to make a space in my shelf for this book.And fortunately the book was awesome.....
The story revolves around the lives of two unfortunate Afghan women LAILA and MARIAM and how their lives cross each other,while you read the book u come across the fact that Afghanistan was once a beautiful place to live in and how fate have changed it into a war zone. It describe's how women there are subjugated.The best part to learn from the book is even after disaster and only disaster people there have not given up living,love and hope still survives which is told through the eyes of Laila.The book also explains the history of Afghanistan.
The writing has the emotional touch that will rip your heart,and tears will just flow out of your eyes.
If you are looking for a novel which will not only make you cry but also smile at the end you surely go for this one.....
This tragic,unfortunate,painful and not so happy book has seriously touched my heart........
