I read this book by Khuswant Singh, We Indians. It had this artcle about the britishers and why they were able to defeat the Indians so easily. He said according to him Britishers gave us the tag of Indians. Before that we never had the feeling of unity. Indians were not called Indians. They were punjabi's, gujrati's, keralites. No one recognized themselves by the country but by the place they belonged to or the kind of work they did.
I fully agree to him and I would like to see to going a step futher. Why tag the people according to the nation, religion, caste etc? I think WE ARE ALL HUMANS FIRST THEN WE ARE INDIANS OR AMERICANS OR ...
(The views may be different for different people. The above mentioned are my personal views.

Pulp fiction week!!
The last ten days have been terrific..
On the back of a decent performance in the sems I arrived happily at mumbai. I am happy that I wont fail in Bala's subject :) The days in mumbai were gr8. Actually I had no time to sit alone. I was out of home for almost twelve hours a day.
The trip to Karnavati- You might be thinking where the hell is Karnavati. But I found out lately that Karnavati was the original name of Ahmedabad before the Nizam changed it to Ahmedabad. The journey was weird. There was one guy in the bogie who looked at me as if I was a criminal listed on the India's most wanted! I finally manged to breath without tension once that man got down at surat. I got down at ahmedabad and the weirdness continued. The auto that I hired was being driven by a sardarji. At one time thought this would be my last journey as he would frequently bend-aside to sneeze and more often than not a truck would be coming right on us. Phew!! finally I reached my destination. The best part is that Didi was also there!!
The Ahmedabad movie festival- the next there days were spent in
a) watching a lot of movies
b) eating a lot
c) window shopping
the movies that we saw were all so good that it was really difficult to say which was the best but overall it would be a tough call between "the last king of scotland" and "the pursuit of happyness". "Apocalypto" and "Little miss sunshine" were also not far behind. All were equally good.
MOTT MACDONALD- The work at mott macdonald is pretty tiring. We, the 10 new trainees, have to work from 9 to 6. The atmosphere is great. The greenery there is also good ;)
The place is fully air-conditioned, may be little to cold for my liking!
I will start working on my project from day after tomorrow.
.. lets see age kya hota hai ;)
