FESTIVALS @ home away from home!

FESTIVALS are our part of lives, ever since we come to conscious world, our parents teach us relevance of each festival and thus we follow our own culture, tradition, family values, and relations! but, as time goes on and on we tend to change this motive towards responsibiltiies as they keep us busy !
we had UGADI on MARCH 16 a traditional telugu new year day celebrated every year beginning of chaitra masam /month name, first day !
festive time and mood is different to each one ! as family get together s, celebrations, prayers, auspicious occasions and so on keeps our mind busy with one or the another , but at times we dont even get to know the motive when we are home away from home and this happened to me when i realized its relevance, i missed every single moment i did when i was a child! being elder most in family, i looked upon every single thing perfectly,buy flowers, arrange things and clean up the messy stuff and do shopping !
times changed when flew to states to start a new life here!i miss all festivals everyyear! try to overcome by making my own style of following traditions , overall home thoughts keeps me away for a moment ! community also matters here , people get along with group participation in temples and celebrate with atmost interest !but mingling is what matters!
i see some friends who are always busy with organising things , to make an occasion so succesful that , one feels so much u care for people out here! and i feel bugged up when someone asks me what u did? how u did? and how was it? these questions are so boring that how can u expect the same as everywhere?people are just crazy over many unwanted things !

whereas its other way out in our home country! u hardly have time for anything" other than"
ur own family! i find this strange here and had a sigh! well , it depends also if u wanna have a heart just do it! sometimes may be the environ also matters u tend to change the way the locals are , and this also means u look out for people when ur all alone! thus i got away from my origin of the topic to people, relationships etc !but its true!
if busy lives are on one side culture must also be followed to know our values, so that we can teach even to next generation ahead!
but i still miss , the festive mood ! even though times change or life goes ahead i pray to GOD wherever we are let us all have a BLESSED DAYS AHEAD!

HAPPY NEW BEGINNING TO ALL OF US !ON THIS OCCASION OF UGADI!


REGARDS
smily for u!

WOMENS RESERVATION BILL - A FEEL OF ITS NECESSITY

I as one of the women in INDIA , respect in all means the 33% reservation to women , to be passed despite its ongoing arguments over various angles. lets rewind ourselves , the bill was introduced by the then United front leader HD deve gowda in 1996 , though it started with many violations still opposition is fighting for reservation within the reserved status like 'quota within quota"and this is adding political tensions just to prolong the issue. the very nature of politics is about to change soon and this is worrying our oppositions as this brings big competetion to male electives , in all LS AND RS seats. time has to let us know how much does a women president and congress leader, supports the bill in making it a success for congress centenary celebrations.
Besides politics, i feel a social consiousness and social movement is going to take big role if reservation is given as women ads more value to development ,but politics always shade away the useful ways. if we go onto the past , ANCIENT WOMEN have enjoyed all rights equal to men but times changed and child marriages , lack of education, sexual abuses, divorse and poverty made women live in dark age. now days are of always abusing rather than respecting . we see a exploitation in every field even if world is progressing we see cases of kidnapping, rapes, suicides, dowry and many . i feel its a equal right despite reservations to fight for any abuses.reservations are just like a thread to seperate but, right to live dosent prohibit in any way of living .
lastly i need to mention that there is no road block for any womens path of success! we deserve to get equal opportunities wherever we are forever until this earth exists!
kudos to all the successfull women!

bye folks!

i am happy to announce here that the WOMENS RESERVATION BILL HAS BEEN PASSED IN RAJYA SABHA AND WAIITNG FOR LOKSABHA APPROVAL AND I WISH IT COULD BE DONE SUCCESFULLY AND THIS IS A REAL GIFT FOR WOMEN !
