Religion, caste creed were hardly discussed in my family, once i remember, it was after 6 dec 1992. That year gave me the realization of being a HINDU. Though what Hinduism is all about I don’t know… not yet.

People invariably explicitly voiced, that I am very “MODERN” in my outlook. It was always an accusation, something to be shame of and never to be pride of. Why I am tragged modern? I don’t booze or smoke, I don’t expose my midriff, I never had a boyfriend, I never visited disco…I don’t hang around in malls, I don’t go for late night parties, still “MODERN”?

I assume being a woman and having an independent opinion is sufficient enough to be labelled as “MODERN”.

What happens behind those well fortified orthodox tradition is hard to believe, it is darker than the darkest. A woman from this school once said to me “ you know sister, when I visited my relative, I suffered a lot there, but when I returned I did not utter a word against them” She was full of pride for her silence. I was and still am bewildered, I don’t know what her suffering were, Must be a deep wound else time would have healed her. Probably in their world they teach “ It can not be cured, u better endure “

today i had the oppertunity to watch an IMAX movie in Halifax, Canada….. OBVIOUSLY!  IMAX belong to canada. anyway the whole experience of IMAX 3D is wonderful. the best part was, the movie was approximately 40 minute. It was like any other discovery documentry, hold on ,,,,,but to observe it in 3D HUGEEEEEEEEEE screen makes it extraordinary. It feels like i am face to face with those sea animals and the camera is behind me, as if i am a part of the movie. well all in all its a wonderful experience and i recommend it to all…. atleast once to watch a 3D IMAX movie and then it is hard to resist.

with all its fanfare and fanzone eurocup began yesterday. and dear, what a day it was !the weather was perfectly fine and minutes before the match between Austria and Croatia it drizzled. Mr. Cloud and Miss Rain behaved well. They were not the spoil sport. They waited to celebrated Croatian victory with thunder and downpour.

One thing i am certainly uncertain to answer is ” to say something about myself “. In this ever expanding universe where stars are thousand of light year away, where do i stand. what is my dimension, my existence. how important am i and an void fills in and i end up uttering hundreds of words that means nothing to me. all i can say is – i am not different than you!
