Generation gap

With the going of one generation, comes the next generation. This is a simple fact of life, also could be put as 'cycle of life'. There are generations in each family. The eldest (grandparents), a little junior (our parents, uncles, aunts etc) and the next generation (kids). These are 3 generations, oldest, current and upcoming. These determine the future of EVERYTHING. Look around in your family and you shall certainly see a difference in the behavior, characteristics, way of life - each generation has got it's unique way of living.

It was the usual Christmas evening, spent with family, talking and discussing on various topics. THERE, came the topic of discussion - the generation gap, why does it get created?

My sister has a son, whose 3 years old, a little naughty but that's understandable at his age. His parents at times lose their temper and scold him in front of everyone, he's too small to understand what they're saying so he persists with what he's doing, to which his father said that he's getting 'disobedient'. My uncle very rightly pointed out : when a kid is very young (3-6) years of age, he/she is really sensitive. If you scold him/her in front of all the family, he will go into a shell and a gap between parents and the kid may get created at this very young age.

My sister and her husband agreed to the point my uncle made and realized that they must not scold their only son in front of everyone. My uncle continued and also added that if a child makes mistake - do not unnecessarily show anger to him. If you get too angry with him at this young age, the chances are that when he/she grows - he/she may not even fear your anger because he/she will get used to it.

My father to which made a very sensitive and I believe very valid point : the best way to judge how close your children are to you, is - when you come from office and IF your children wait for you/open the door for you - the communication is very strong. On the flip side of which, if you come from office and your children silently go to their respective rooms, not willing to spend much time - THEN something's wrong.

My father added further that to him, I'm his BEST friend and if your child is your best friend - that's THE perfect relationship. Understandably so because then a child will not hide anything from his/her parents  and there'll be no possibility of a communication gap.

Everyone was agreeing to each others views and adding their own in the process. My uncle and father both explained that how my grandfather, only few times, used to get really angry but he NEVER allowed a situation to arise where his 4 sons would get angry with him - a situation where a gap may be created between a father and his 4 sons, NEVER did this happen. He showed his anger with his words and after 5 minutes, forgot everything and went to his sons and made them understand everything, only this time very calmly - THIS made a difference. My father along with his 3 brothers understood better when a calm route was taken and not when an aggressive route was taken.

That's pretty much it. Discussion on a topic which can be endless but plenty of good views coming in, not many contradictions. What are your views on this? If you've got anything to add, please do so. I look forward to hearing from you. :)

We CAN but WITH Beard, WE Can't. P.A.U.S.

Political leaders - the leaders of a country. The superpower of the world i.e. USA, president of which is Barack Obama to whom everyone looks upto. He is one such leader who has the responsibility of not only taking care of his country but also setting high examples for every other country to follow.



He has to always be well mannered, well spoken and well groomed. Imagine him with a beard, can ya? A well groomed man with beard - irony, as in, how can one be groomed and at the same time bearded!

Obama is the perfect example of how one should BE. His dedication towards his country and work, spending time with family, always being energetic and most importantly - being ready for the obstacles that come in his way - which he always overcomes with his will power. He's the MAN to idolize.

A man WITHOUT beard. A perfect man indeed. A leader who we all follow. A personality who drives the world. A president like no other. Barack Obama, you CAN!

WITHOUT beard, even WE can. :)

This is my 4th entry for Blogadda's P.A.U.S. contest.

A Writer's Story

This is a fictional story which revolves around today's busy world which might at times, 'oversee' real talent.

Night of August 15th, 2002 :-

Michael Shores, lived in California - USA, college pass-out who didn't make it big in the corporate world, desperate to achieve something big in life, he was suggested by his parents to pursue with his art of writing. He had very little idea of how writing worked, he was an amateur writer but he had no other real alternative. 

6 months down the line, Night of February 15th, 2003

Michael Shores, after 6 months of sheer dedication and no real contact with the outside world, finally had a book ready to be published. He went to his parents and they were really happy to learn that their son was pursuing in the right direction, following his dream. However, what followed next was nothing short of a nightmare. 

Michael Shores went to every recognized publisher of the area, small or big - every publisher accepted his book but didn't wrote in to him - no suggestions, no offer of publishing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Michael was naturally very disgusted by the response, after putting so much of hard work into the book; he was still short of success... 

At this point of the story, it's important to note that Michael had just his parents that were actually worthy of being called 'family and friends', he had no other connection with his college friends - they all had established well in their life which made Michael's life more miserable, hungry for success. 

The tragic day - 21st of January, 2004 

This day would forever be a tragic day for Michael, the day he lost his mother. Michael's mother was a long sufferer of the disease - Cancer. She could have been cured but only if there was someone to support her medical expenses. Michael's father was a Clerk in a California school. What he earned was only good to support his family's food and groceries needs, leave apart medical needs. His son i.e. Michael, had no money and hence, the family was in great dismay. 

It was a tragic loss, which made Michael even more depressed. He blamed himself for this - had he earned good money, would his mother still be alive! More likely, yes.

Michael lived away from his parents, in the same city though but with the tragic demise of his mother, Michael asked his father to live with him, even though he earned basically nothing but he knew it wouldn't be safe to let his father live alone. 

In the coming months, Michael's father's health got from bad to worse. Having lost his wife, his father had no one really to talk to, sharing his feeling with. Michael's father now hardly even talked to him. 

The guilt in Michael was growing continuously. His book had no publisher and THEN came the big move - Michael decided to write a new book, more of an memoir of all the good things of his life and the good deeds of the society - a truly positive book but the situation around him, was everything but positive. 

Michael's father passed away just months after his mother passed away, his father couldn't bear living in the miserable conditions anymore. Michael was alone in this huge world where all he had 'was a pen and paper'. 

Michael had small tenors as waiter, clerk, postman and what not! Nothing good enough to get him out of his financial crisis. He had no good education to get a good job, as it was already mentioned at the starting of the story; he still persisted with his aim for writing.

The tragic end but a new beginning: Michael wrote his 2nd book; this time it took him a year, sent it to many publishers and waited for a response. Months passed by and NOTHING, absolutely nothing, just like his 1st book. Michael could no more bear the load of this world, he distanced himself away from everything, had no money to eat food, had no good reason to be alive - he suffered a tragic death. 

June of 2007, a letter is written to Michael

Hello Michael,

This is James Parker of the BCB publishers. You'd be glad to know that we've selected your book to be published. We hope to hear from you soon,

Best regards,
James Parker
BCB Publishers

James Parker received no reply and soon he came to know that Michael was no more alive, he had left behind his writing. James took the brave decision of publishing Michael's book, with Michael's name. James knew the potential of the book and how it could be a ‘good seller' it was just a matter of time now, that this book was held in people's hand, ready to be read. 

With all the procedures done – the book was ready to be published. Early January of 2009, got Michael's book 'Our Mirror Reflection' published.  

It released to an overwhelming response from the public, fitting to the life of Michael Shores, a writer.

Dove - It's not just good, it's simply the best


When it comes to the health of your loved ones, you always select the best for them. In order to look beautiful, you need beautiful skin. How do we get that? Simple, stay at home 24x7, no contact from the outside world and no sun-burning i.e. equal to perfect skin. Not possible, is it! I'll give you a better alternative - the name is Dove.

When it comes to the skin of our loved ones, we just cannot risk it. We want to provide them with the best. Someone with smallest of the knowledge about skin products would know that Dove is the 'best among the best' - a line often used by my grandfather when he's referring to Dove.



I recently received a sample of Dove soap (courtesy of Dove and IndiBlogger). Just as the courier arrived and I opened it and saw the Dove soap, packed to perfection, I showed it to my parents. They just said this - wow, Dove soap that'll be hugely useful bcz it's THE standard for every other brand in this category. I was obviously delighted that I had participated to receive the sample, not that I hadn't used Dove before or that I was unaware of it but it was satisfying to know my parent's view about it hadn't changed and that does mean that Dove had consistently maintained it's high standards.




Dove Guessing Game -  It's been a few days since I received the Dove sample soaps. My family has been using it and there has been a clear difference. Softer and better skin - just what you need for your family. On a lighter note, the place where we've kept the soap, has also become cleaner. :p The smell of the soap has given our house a 'fresher' feeling. :)

My story associated with Dove - 1 year ago when my elder brother's son was born, I was absolutely clueless about what to gift my newly born nephew. I thought of toys but he was too small, dress - too many of 'em, so what! I was suggested by my parents to gift him with something that will be 'really useful'. What more useful than a skin product! I bought a Dove hamper for my nephew, which I knew would sooner or later will be really useful i.e. whenever he's ready to take a bath. :D As he grew a few days older, my brother started using Dove for his son and for such a small kid, we ought to be very careful with the products we use. The hamper was full of useful products and that MADE ME satisfied as my brother was satisfied. A gift for the loved ones from heart, our priority is the well being of our loved ones. :) 

The story I've shared is fairly simple and straight forward and truly Dove is special because it provides you with the BEST. 'Family is the best friend we have and Dove is the most caring mate that we can have'. :)

My experience with Dove - top notch! Do give Dove a try and take #DoveFaceTest. 

Do visit Dove's site here and get knowledge about this truly 'family friendly' product because Dove is simply the best among the best. :)

Creativity - losing it's meaning in India?



Creative people - they're born, not made. Creativity is something that you cannot teach to someone, it's a born art that one sharpens as he/she grows maturer. It's an art of life, not everyone is blessed to be creative but those that are - behold with themselves a great trade.

India is a country of diverse culture, rich tradition and marvelous heritage. Who else but us should be the leaders in creativity among all the other countries but sadly, it isn't so. Why? Do we lack creative people! Certainly not. Then why? It's simple, we do not give creative people the respect that they deserve.

In spite of continuous growth of our country, we're lacking behind in certain aspects that will bring our country to the world level, give us the fame that our country has always deserved. Why is it that creative people need to leave THEIR country and try to make a name for themselves in other countries?

I recently saw a Shekhar Kapoor interview, widely recognized director from India. He has directed musicals abroad but why is he not being provided the same platform in India? AR Rehmann does the same i.e. musical concerts abroad but why not in India? At a recent event of a news channel, Zubin Mehta mentioned that the capital of our country doesn't even has a concert hall. You decide, is it right for government to neglect the creative side of our country!

It would be unfair if I name one creative field and don't name the other, it'd be best if we refer to them as 'creative people' belonging to 'creative field'. Without more ado, it must be government's priority to create high quality infrastructure for people 'blessed' with creativity. Whether it's concert halls, institutes or just about helping them economically - government must not neglect them.

This post is a basic idea of where the creative field and creative people of our country stand, do post your views regarding the same. I look forward to hearing your views. :)

Yoga Tablet : It's the new age 'Yoga'



Tablets : the new age of technology has seen this solid innovation called 'tablet'. When computers came it took the whole world by a storm, then came laptops which could be carried anywhere/everywhere and now tablets - easy to use, lightweight and can be carried very easily. The future of tablets is bright, they come at a very reasonable price and with the ever progressing technology field, the future ought to see more wonderful tablets.

Tablets, Laptops, Computers - in that respective order, that's how I see it. Tablets outshine laptops and computers.I'll tell you a story of why this is so :-

My grandmother got admitted in hospital :  Recently, my grandmother was admitted in hospital, I stayed with her for a few hours and as you know, hospitals don't allow you to carry much of your stuff with yourself. I had my tablet with myself which I was allowed to carry, I went upto my grandmother and she was very sick and very weak, her room did not had any TV and she wanted her family to be around her, she needed someone to talk. We all did everything possible to comfort her. When I was there in her room, she mentioned my elder brother's wedding and how she loved the way wedding took place. Luckily, I had my brother's wedding video stored in my tablet, I showed it to my grandmother and she was watching so curiously, she was totally loving the 'celebration' in the video and as you know, when someone is sick - they must be given reasons to smile and I'm glad that my tablet could do that for my grandmother. This is just another story of how technology has made our life much more convenient, more so than we realize.

Work on the go : Today's world is full of competition and you must be ready to work 24x7, it's hectic but that's how it is. The new age technology of tablet has made it easier to stay connected with your work, even when you're travelling. Whether you're travelling through the railways, roadways or the airways - staying in touch with your work is just a click away. Tablets don't take much space, my jacket takes more space in my bag as compared to my tablet. :p Besides, tablets are 'packed' with features, they're no less than a laptop - it fits the definition of 'smart', what could be smarter than a tablet!

The ideal tablet - Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8:

Ideal battery, keeps you updated on the go -  Battery life upto 18hrs is rare in tablets, even 10hrs battery life is said to be 'satisfactory' but lenovo always sets it's standards above everyone else because it is THE standard FOR EVERYONE else.

A processor ideal for all your work -  It runs on the Quad Core MT 8389 and with the Quad Core 1.2 GHz, with 1 GB LP DDR2 memory, 16 GB emMC storage and also supports Micro SD card upto 64 GB and runs on the Android OS 4.2 Jelly Bean. 


Bluetooth, 3G, Wifi, Camera -  Name it and Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 has all the features that you could ask for in a tablet. It streams videos at the HD display of 1280x800. With a lovely screen size of 8", watching videos will be a sheer delight.

For internet users, 3G and Wifi is supported, so be up to date even when you're on the go. The camera is magnificent for a tablet coming at such reasonable price. 1.6 MP HD Front Camera and 5 MP Rear Camera - now share all your magical photos with your loved ones, whenever you want - wherever you want.

Unique features, unique tablet -

Multimode usage modes : hold, tilt and stand, makes it easier for you to use the tablet - the way you want.

Speakers with Dolby Digital Plus - now, don't listen to good music, listen to ideal music- the way it was always meant to be listened.

Perfection is not easy to achieve but with the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 and the all new Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10, perfection has been achieved by Lenovo.

My award is for you...



You know, when I was sitting their in the audience, several thoughts popped into my mind. Am I looking good? Is my hair alright? If I win, will I be able to speak on the stage, or just take the trophy and run back home? Well, it was all anxiety and even though, my legs are right now shaking, I can still speak because the trophy I'm holding in my hands is not only prestigious but beholds with itself a great meaning and makes me - confident of myself.

I've always been a shy guy. When I was young, I used to hear my father speak and think to myself - could I every possibly speak like that? Could I ever address a large audience? Am I capable of doing so? And yes, I did ask many questions. I was a curious kid. :p Anyways, as I got into my teen years, I had this habit of maintaining a diary, wrote about various topics in it but never shared it with anyone. Not until a few years later at least.

My father has always been the driving force of my life, still is. If he says 'Sachin isn't the best cricketer EVER', I'd agree on that too, even though I know he'd be lying. :D I've always wanted to be like my father, the way he dressed, the way he walks, the way he speaks, the way he smiles, the way he can make everyone his own in an unknown room - in mere 5 minutes. He's the perfect idol one can have and I'm glad to have him as my father and as an idol. This trophy is truly dedicated to him and my mother for her selfless sacrifices towards making me what I am.

I started blogging at the age of 15. I realized that maintaining a diary wasn't exactly what I was looking for, I wanted a platform to express my views and let it reach a large audience and blogging gave me that platform. I could express myself, anytime, any day. I could know the views of others, learn every time. That's the beauty of blogging.

Now, me standing here and not thanking/congratulating the fellow bloggers who got nominated, would be selfish on my part. I might be just lucky to be holding this trophy because I know that you all behold with yourself the same talent and a balloon full of ideas within yourself, just like me.

My family has always been the guiding force in my life. My grandparents have instilled me with such values that I've always thought twice before writing every article - am I writing right! Will this piece hurt someone's feelings? Be assured, what I write, comes from my heart because that's the greatest and perhaps the only trade of a 'good writer'.

Last but not the least, the team because of which this all has been possible - the Blogadda team. You guys are the reason why I'm holding this trophy today, it's because of you that I have this confidence in me to address such a large gathering and still not get hesitant to share what I actually feel. You guys have taught me that sharing is indeed caring because sharing my ideas through my blog, has given me immense satisfaction.

So guys *sheds a tear or two* - my award is for you all, we as the blogging community take pride in writing and such awards must be shared with you all because we all somewhat share the same thoughts and ideas and belong from the same community, we're a family of bloggers.

I remain thankful to the BlogAdda team for this wonderful trophy, filled with the joy of creativity and 'out of the box' thinking. :)

This would be My Winning Speech on being rewarded the BlogAdda Blog Award!

Beard is ugly, beard is bad...

A short poem on why 'beard' must be avoided...

Beard is ugly, beard is bad,
be a Baird man not an ugly man
Beard is ugly, beard is bad,
life is pretty, why to be ugly - man?

Beard is ugly, beard is bad,
it makes your face look sad
Beard is ugly, beard is bad,
be handsome and charming - that's the way of life

Beard is ugly, beard is bad,
avoid it, for a future bright,
Beard is ugly, beard is bad,
it's smelly, it's irritating, it's just so BAAAAAAD...

Thank you! :D

Gift Of Life - Living It The Right Way



Santa Claus is coming to house - yes, Christmas is just a few days away and this is an ideal time to gift your children something special. What could possibly be the best gift? For me, a toy or a playstation wrapped in a gift box isn't ideally the 'perfect' gift.

We all are blessed with the gift of life but as we know, every gift has to be used carefully. The gift of life is one such gift which we all have but do we use it correctly? On this Christmas, give your children the gift of 'lessons' - telling them the right way to live life.


  • The Gift Of Integrity - integrity and ethics are the most valuable trades in a person. These trades make you stand out from the rest and make you 'special'. Many people would want to deem with these values but only a few in reality actually CAN. These your children to deem with these values because if they do - they wouldn't need to 'run after success, success would run after them'.
  • The Gift Of Passion - passion is in each one of us. But, this passion must not be misunderstood with 'over-passion', which results in dire results. We must be passionate in the work we do but we should also accept the fact that alongside success, failures are going to be extremely important curve of learning.
  • The Gift Of Will Power - today's competitive world isn't easy to live in and by the time, today's kids become tomorrow's future, this world will get more competitive. Hence, it is extremely vital to make today's young generation understand that 'will power' in today's world is sensationally important. No one becomes successful without a few obstacles in his/her way and that's what makes 'life' interesting and filled with 'surprises'. :)
  • The Gift Of Smile - Continuing from the last point, in this tough world and in the fight of life, we often forget the importance of 'smiling'. We should firmly believe that if our smile can make someone else in difficulty smile then 'our life is worth it'. We're all here to spread positiveness and it takes a whole life time to understand this but if these values are taught to today's young generation, the future shall certainly behold with itself something special. 
  • The Gift Of Competitiveness - the last and perhaps the most important gift from parents to their children - should be to gift them the 'power' to fight with their competitors. We get competitors not necessarily after we get matured, from our young days - competition is all around. It could be a match of cricket with your friends or a racing competition, being competitive is the need of the hour. 
These 5 gifts will not be wrapped in a gift box but wrapped 'from the heart' filled with love. Gift is something that should come in handy to the person you're giving it to and as parents, you'd certainly want to give your children something that will come in handy to them and what's more handy than teaching them about the 'gift of life' and gifting them with your 'teachings' and 'lessons'. :)

Be A Baird Man, Not A Beard Man - P.A.S.S.

My grandparent's wedding : My grandfather had this awkward beard on his face which made him look, let's just say 'not handsome'.

My grandmother, belonged from a rich family, she was getting married to my grandfather solely because of his good family background and she had never seen my grandfather before the wedding day. On the day of the wedding, when my grandmother's family saw my grandfather, they weren't particularly happy - because of the uncalled for beard on his face.

On the next morning of the wedding, my grandfather was understandably very tired after a hectic day and was sleeping till late in the morning. Certain people after the wedding were telling my grandmother's father that he had selected the wrong man for my grandmother, they didn't like my grandfather's bearded look. My grandmother's younger sister wasn't liking this (she was just 15) and decided to do something REALLY UNBELIEVABLE.

She CUT my grandfather's beard off while he was asleep and the funny part is - my grandfather didn't even wake up through the process. After a few hours my grandfather woke up and saw his clean-shaved look, he at first was shocked but maintained his composure and after a few minutes realized that all this while, he had been growing a beard for no reason, he looked quite handsome without it and everyone was telling him the same.

This story was told to me by my grandmother a few days ago and NOW I understand why my grandfather HATED when I grew a beard a few months ago. He asked me 'don't you want to look handsome! Why the beard'?

Moral of the story : Clean shaved look has been appreciated for many years now, don't you wanna regard your seniors and abide by the same! :D

A conversation between a mother and her son

Maa - this is a relation that cannot be put into mere words. It's a relation which starts the very movement you start to come into this world. 9 months in a mother's care before coming into this world - that's the immense contribution that a mother has in her child's life. It's only vaguely important for me to enlighten you all on this relation because we all know it's solid importance in our life.

I write this article because just a few days back, I witnessed a conversation between a mother and a son which made me very emotional, it made me even more sensitive towards this relation. As they say "maa-bete ke rishte jaisa, aur koi rishta nahin".. :)

My grandmother got admitted into a hospital just a few days back and my father and I went to the hospital to see her. She was at the Hospital reception, in a wheelchair (she was very weak to walk). I could sense that my father got highly emotional to see his mother in such a situation but being a man of high will power, he controlled himself. My grandmother looked at us and smiled. I touched her feet and she gave me her blessings but only she knew the difficulties that she was going through.

After that, my grandmother, with my grandfather sitting on her left hand side on a chair and my father sitting to his left, what I saw next was a conversation between a mother and a son - with father as the mediator. My grandmother as I mentioned earlier was very weak, she was not able to talk properly or in high voice and so my grandfather was conveying all that she was saying to my father. I observed the scene very silently and carefully.

On the next day when my grandmother got admitted, my father was giving her the afternoon meal. As my father was about to give her the last bite, she said to him "today, I couldn't be happier. I'm blessed that my youngest son is with me in this tough time and helping me to eat my lunch."

Now, this may not be the biggest incidents that you may come across in your life or an incident on which you'd properly write but I just felt to share this with you all. A mother-son relationship is one that cannot be put into words and this is just another such story which to some extend makes us realize how precious this relationship really is.. :)
