Resolutions, anyone?

2010! What a year. Happiness and sadness. Joy and Sorrow. Life changing experiences. New Friends. Truly, what a year! But everything comes and goes and so has ended 2010. We might have loved the year, hated it, been okay with it or did not care about it. But now that it is over, we might want to learn some lessons from it.

2011! A new year, a new decade! We have a new opportunity knocking. Time we heed to it. So, we need to make some plans and some lists of do's and don't's. We each have a different mindset, hence our goals, aim and objectives will be different. Yet, there are certain things we need to do. More on that later.

What are 'Resolutions'? Something we should do? According to me, it is something that we should do for our betterment, for the improvement of the society, for the benefit of mankind. Every new year we make resolutions. Resolutions that we follow, resolutions that we don't follow and resolutions which we forget. Let's make some amends this year.

This year, actually, not only this year but every forthcoming year, let's pledge to do our bit for the society and the world. Something that improves the standards of living or something that makes someone's life worth living. Something for someone who has given us all we have today. Mother Earth. I want all of us to make some resolutions that we will follow, no matter what.

-> Keeping the environment clean: Various ways. Not littering and throwing the garbage in the bin for one.

-> Saving our precious water resources: For example, Closing the tap while brushing.

-> Reducing pollution to the maximum: Walking short distances, switching the vehicle off at a traffic signal.

-> Conserving Energy: Last but not the least, we all need to do all we can to conserve energy in every form. Switching off lights and fans, using solar cookers, not wasting electricity, and in many other ways.

So, if you are lost for resolutions, I hope this post helped you in some way or the other. I know I did not talk about any personal resolutions but, we gain from the society, so why not do something for it?

Here's wishing you a very happy and prosperous new year!

Ugh! Bad Traffic!

Yeah I know the topic is not that appealing but i had to write something on the blog, so why not about the irresponsible drivers and the corrupt traffic officers in Bhopal?

I mean I myself am not a saint. But who is? Its not that I have never flunked a Traffic Signal or I have never done over-speeding. But who is their to correct me when I don't follow the traffic rules?

Why are there Traffic guidelines when no one bothers to impose them?

There are many such questions that arise in our minds when we see the traffic on Bhopal roads these days. There are many problems related to "bad traffic". Some are:

1. Lack of traffic signals. And then people don't generally respect the presence of a traffic signal. Even when they do, because of the timers present, the go 3-5 seconds before the signal allows them. This is only one problem.

2. People drive in the wrong lane. Okay, fine. United States of America is our inspiration. But does that imply that Indian rules are balderdash? Wrong lane + speeding = Accident => Loss of human life. Aren't we intelligent enough to understand this Simple Equation?

3. Casual attitude of the traffic policemen stationed at various places. The don't bother when a person does not follow traffic rules. And even when they do, its just for personal gain. BRIBERY! And yeah we are the culprits. We think giving 100 to a policeman is better than giving 500 for our mistake. Why commit the mistake in the first place?

4. Underage drivers. These days the number of unauthorized drivers has increased drastically. They are too young to even understand the traffic rules and its seriousness, let alone following them.

The list can go on and on. But what is the use? We need to change our frame of mind. We need to develop an attitude to follow these rules. We need to understand that the government has laid down these rules for our benefit. We should become more responsible. Let's take an oath today on Gandhi Jayanti that we'll stick by the traffic rule and become more responsible drivers. Till when can we bear more damage to invaluable human resources?

Jai Hind!

Review of music of I hate luv storys

Hey guys, this is my first music review, don't mind if it sounds a bit naive...

Well, the music is nicely done by the famous music directors Vishal n Shekhar. The music is refreshing to hear. The title track "IHLS" is a good one. The composition is quite good, the voice modulations by vishal are quite pleasant. The song will be on the lips of every youngster in a few weeks. The other song "Bahara", sung by shreya ghoshal is another wonderful track. The song suits shreya's voice well. "Bin tere" is quite different but well done by shafqat amanat Ali and sunidhi chauhan. The song "sadka hua" is also another amazing track. Suraj jagan is able to keep up to the high pitch of the song well enough. Mahalaxmi iyer also plays her part well in the song. Last but not the least "jab mila tu" is one of my favorite from the album. Starts with a great tune, vishal sings the track in an awesome manner. Overall the Vishal-Sherkhar pair has done an amazing job with the music of IHLS. My rating is 4.5/5. Enjoy the music! :) :)
