Writing instantly at times is so tough even for professional writers. You don’t have that motivation and feel to talk about something. Per me writing takes passion but selecting a topic needs a kick … This is something that happened with me today. With a blank word document right in front of me I started thinking about “topics” – Good, Bad, Ugly; but couldn’t find one. So I thought about a phase of life gone long back, when one of my girl friends got involved in a relationship with a younger guy. For me it was kind of unusual to understand at that point of time that why can’t two people who like each other plan to spend rest of their life together? Probably, I was not in that situation.
COUGAR or PUMA is a term quoted for “An elder woman with a younger boy”. Cougar is a woman in her 40’s and is dating a man who is at least 8 years younger to him. While a PUMA is in 30’s and simply dates younger men. We can say a PUMA possibly is a COUGAR in training. More often our society considers them as a predator, which definitely is ridiculous. Actually, these could be seen the other way round to empower women. Just think for a second – Why would a woman who is financially stable, attractive, confident and successful seek a man who is still getting settled?
Honestly, I feel there is another side to this story. These women are irresistible. They are not quite dependent on younger men and are wanted. She is the one who is being hunted and is not the hunter. Trust me this is certainly not the “Hollywood” or “Western” style of living. Our very own tribe in Orissa follows a culture where “Men marry elder women”. Malkangiri Tribe it is. Per me this is a case of mind over matter. Those not interested are free to ignore … others can at least think about it!!

Two latest bollywood flicks ....
All you lovely people out there! Here comes the first hand review of the two latest movies in the town - Kaminey n Love Aaj Kal. Nopes I am not comparing the two. As always like a sniffer dog I'll scrutinize ... Mind the stars after movie name.
Love Aaj Kal **
One time watch and total paisa vasool for the amount you spend on eating popcorn. Dont expect this movie to stay in your head or heart once you get out of the theater.
According to me and my fren the movie challenges the institution of Indian marriage. In country where both men and women are taught to stick to marriages despite of biggest differences this movie educates the youth about making a decision even after marriage.
Saif has grown old and is probably a wrong selection for the movie. Ranbeer kapoor or Kunal kapoor could have suited the scene better. Saif is definitely a NO NO to play the role of 22 year old. He must act his age.
Rishi kapoor has done justice to his role and so has his sweetheart Neetu Ji.
KAMINEY ***
Nice movie. This one would stay in your memories for sometime. A mix of adrinal rush and humor.
But the movie still has its shortcomings. Too much violence for women and kids. I noticed that many women had to watch the movie with their hands on eyes. Too much action, something women can hardly sustain.
Honestly, I am not someone who would advocate an action movie. This one is an exception.
Charlies character is too good. Someone who thinks only about himself and his family (Real Kamina). A bookie who wants to make quick buck and ......
His younger brother is too sweet but at times smart. At one point when he hits charlie to rescue his GF, I was amazed (that was beyond my expectation of that character)
Sweety is someone who can put anyone in trouble and knows the art of making things her way. Her extrovert behavior in the shaadi scene took my heart away.
At regular check points you would have sequences to make you laugh like -
guddu caught in police station and asked to narrate the story in sing song way.
sweety's prior booking of pandit ji and other requisites for wedding. While guddu is still grasping the fact that he is about to be a dad.
STILL WONDERING : Y DID GUDDU ATTRACT ALL THE NUISANCE?? ANY THOUGHTS ??
Love Aaj Kal **

Section 377 - Indian Penal Code
Legalisation of Same Sex Marriages by High Court on July 02, 2009 certainly got me some pride for my blog that is now almost 3 years old .... (Please read - At InstaBlogs). I had received a handful of comments from people who supported or outright rejected my idea of granting the minority groups their "Human Rights". Someone also quoted the section 377 of IPC way back then communicating that it is un-natural.
"Section 377 (Unnatural offences): Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine."
It was the time when I came to know that America had legalised Gay & Lesbian marriages; I reckon wondering - "Why is the situation so grave in India? ... Can't they be granted their rights to a peaceful life?" ....
And today .... I feel so good that the efforts of some many activities to support the oppressed minority groups have paid. Though the mindset of the general public still has to change a lot to accept such relationships in Indian society.
Not sure how many of us are aware but the Article 377 actually violates the Article 21 of constitution that says - "Every citizen has equal opportunity of life and is equal before law".
Irrespective of what the sexual preferences of the individual are ... every individual must have the rights to exercise his or her decisions in his or her life. We are no one to dictate terms on "How others should live".
Earlier people in these relationships earlier could not support each other due to legal issues. Consider this situation at hospital, one of the partner's has met an serious accident that needs and immediate operation or else he / she might die.
At the reception the other partner is handed over a document for signature. The document says that hospital would not be responsible for your partner's death while operating (this is just a legal formality). They only people who could sign this particular document are - parents or spouse.
Here the partner stands with a document in his / her hand that has to be signed before the operation could begin. But, he / she cant sign it . Why? Answer is simple he / she is neither the parent nor a spouse legally ... ?
THINKING ABOUT THE OTHER SUCH SITUATIONS THAT THEY MIGHT FACE ON DAY TO DAY BASIS .... I FEEL THIS IS A BOON TO OUR SOCIETY.
On December 28, 2006 a reader from SPAIN commented on my blog ...
"Well ... I am in a same sex marriage and I just don’t understand the whole fuss about it. I am human and I should have the same right like anyone. I am not hurting anyone or take rights from someone else.Gay people are not second class humans! "
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LGBT'S FOR GETTING THEIR DUE !! ....

Oh ! frisky ...
This one goes out to my darling doggie frisky - someone who can not be trained to live life sensibly (but that is what makes him so adorable too).
Meet frisky our 4 year old mixed breed, who changed my life ever since he joined our family. With him around you can never imagine what comes the very next moment.
After a long long day, I would generally want to go off to sleep but thanks to my best friend who is there to jump over my bed the moment I get into it. I get up trying to understand what happened and just when I am too tiered to even extend my hand to garb a pillow he would get one of his toys and would give one of those ever challenging looks as if too say - "Hey! have the guts to snatch this??"
Howsoever, hard I try to explain I am really tiered and definitely extremely sleepy. He would not stop jumping over my legs until I actually go through a marathon trying to get that toy from him. If I am able to take it from him quickly and go off to bed; the poor guys face would drop (as if saying "Oh! come on you cheater! Try another round and see me beat you !!)
Think of the devil and he appears .... !! No .. nah .. no frisky ... frisky stop ... damn it's the delete button of my laptop ..... no please dnt eat the alphabets on my keyboard ... you dumb dog!!

MOBILE O PHRENIA
Oh my googlie coo's !! I am so sorry for not keeping in touch all these days. Actually, i had been accessing the globe on the mini-screen (mah mobile). This left me disconnected to all of my near and dear ones. Lots of timez I thot about writing to you all but then my work schedule left me no time to catch up with you all.
Honestly I have become the member of "Mobile-O-Phrenix" group. Typically characteristics of these people are as follows:
Checking there mobile screens every few minutes to ensure they have not missed any important email / sms / call
Tend to ignore the real human beings around them by giving more importance to their mobile screens
During discussions their attention span would be inter-mitten
Mobiles become and extension of their body
Every second of the day is spend either looking at screen / typing an sms / reading an sms / browsing GPRS / replying calls
In short, all these people (including me) think about is the life inside their mobile phones. Mobile phones are inevitable part of their lives.
They show withdrawal symptoms if their mobile phone is taken away for the shortest span of time (say 30 mins)
यार हम पहले भी तोह मोबाइल के बिना रहते थे ना । फिर अब क्या हुआ ??
I recently recognised that I was suffering with these symptoms when I met one of my friends over coffee। While he was trying to talk and catch up on lost time I was looking at my mobile screen taking account of the time and replying to my messages. He stopped over for a while and said - "Can't you see I am trying to strike a converstation here."
Honestly, I was so embarrased that I immediately thought of making a बाहाना and running away from that place. And you know guys itz getting worse -
When I am free I hav dis urge of sending a quick message to anyone in my list jst to strike a conversation
If that sum1 doesnt reply back in stipulated time frame of 30 seconds then I get irritated... think गर्रर! ख़ुद को समझता क्या है । भाव खा राहा है । अब कभी message नही करूंगी ।
I become so desparate without mah phone -
Most of all I need it while I am sleeping. I get up at night and look at my mobile screen to check any late night messages !! Oh Gannu bhaiya ... save me I have got "Mobile-O-Phrenia".
