The latest version of the "Shift happens" videos updated for autumn 2009, developed by XPLANE in partnership with The Economist. This Did You Know video focuses on the changing media landscape, including convergence and technology
I was tweeting away today and i saw a tweet by Vishal Dadlani (http://twitter.com/V1SH4L/) that Govt. of Maharashtra on Tuesday approved the design for a 309-foot tall statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji and an entertainment complex that would come up in the Arabian Sea south of this financial capital. The project would cost a whopping Rs. 350 crores and will have a multi-utilities complex that would have facilities for a multi-lingual sound-and-light show depicting Chhatrapati Shivaji's life, a museum, restaurants, a 200-seater theatre, a garden and public conveniences!
The claim to fame? Oh, well its going to be taller than the Statue of Liberty! There were 11 international firms competing for the designs and finally 2 firms (one from Mumbai & One from Thailand) have been selected.
Asks Vishal on twitter - "Would Shivaji approve of a 350 Cr. Statue+ent. Complex in the sea off Marine Drive, when farmers die, and Cops and the Coast Guard are weak?"
I second this and i support it... what can i do to stop this? Log on to www.smallchange.in, a website created by Vishal thats deals with Issues like these (previous petition was protesting against the broadcast media's coverage of the Mumbai attacks, and seeking guidelines for covering anti-terrorist operations).
The petition opens on Tuesday! share it with your friends and family... its us who has to defend it... its our money... why doesn't anyone consult us before spending our money!
The change is here to stay!! its a small change that can bring about a huge revolution!
Its the 5th of June 09. 1 day to D day, its something we both have been waiting for. It still seems a little too surreal... Something that hasnt sunk in yet. Something that will mean a paradigm shift in both our lives. We'll be married. We'll be husband and wife.
What started out more than a year ago, as a friendship, turned to an infatuation, to a crush, to love, to true love. Something that didnt need overt expression, something that was mutual. Something that made live a pleasure.
Each relationship blossoms with time. Each relationship is like wine, it gets better with age. We have had our share of ups and downs and we at an early stage had shared a lot with each other. Something which doesnt need words to describe.
As i write this, i am in a sense of confidence, that we will togther make a meaning of our relationship, be with each other through thick and thin. Be loved and love. Be understood and understand. Be adjusting and adjust. Be caring and care. Be trusted and trust. All in all be happy. Take life each step at a time and carve our way to a sweet, happy, loving future with each other.
Without doubt i can say that this decision is one i will NEVER regret, ever. This is something that makes life worth living. This is something that gives life a (new) meaning. Wanna welcome everything with open arms. Be the one for her coz i know for sure that she is the one for me.
With lots of love.

I am thinking (or so i think). My thoughts are scattered. Its about managing expectations... That of my 'would be family' and my current family and club that with the job, well i am all over the place. There is so much to do and so little time. Sometimes i think i fail at managing at all.
Its a double edge sword that is difficult to tread. Its something that needs to be done in a manner which makes everyone a winner and makes all fall in place. This new beginning is not going to be easy, it will need patience and a cool head to manage all.
Guess now that we are getting into it and we will work it out and make it work completely to the T! Yes thats what marriage and relationships are all about. Needs some work. Needs thought process.
Its like a jigsaw puzzle that need to be solved and i a sure there would be a beautiful picture that forms at the end of it.
Hold your relationship loosely
with respect and freedom for the other person
it is likely to remain intact
But hold it too tightly, too possessively
then it will likely slips away.

I have been tired, tired of i dont know what. Its the regular days at office and the regular fun after it. Its the heat. I am so tired that i cannot sleep. I am so tired that i dont want to wake up in the morning.
I feel exhausted. I feel deprived. Is it sleep or is it peace? I do not know. Is it the hard days work or is it the expectation. My mind works overtime. Juggling, guessing, figuring, all at one go. Things neesd to done. Tasks need to be completed. Lives need to be balanced. Everyone needs to be kept happy. What about my happiness? What what about my peace? Cant find it.
New life, new beginning, fresh start, lots to do, so little time. Its the relationships, its the money, its the trust, its the unsurity, its the insecurity, its the randomness, its the life, its the beginning, its music, its soothing, its cynical, its bearable, its awesome, its lovely.
Is it me? Is it them? Is it theirs? Is it mine? It is love! Is it sacrifice? Is it compromise? Its being together, its staying together, its being forever, its eberything. Its a mix. Its a cocktail. Its the ceremony. Its bliss. Its heavenly. Its super. Its boggling.
Hell i dont know what it is, but this time I DO Care!
Help!
Learning from the mistakes and short comings is something we all have heard off and have been told about in the past as well by everyone. But sometimes ignorance gets the best of us and we choose the same path over and over again. Sometimes it gets pushed a little to far dor us to know.
Then comes poetic justice, something that jolts you up to reality, something that stirs you up so much that it leaves you numb! The idea is to wake up and mend the ways, you may think that there was nothing wrong or something that you said and did was completely harmless, however we live in a perceived world and perceptions are something that we niether know of nor understand completely till they come and hit us real hard in our face!
Anyways whatever happened, has happened. Cant change that and any more apology for that wouldnt suffice, the idea now is let go of what happened and start afresh, watch what you say, track what you do and how you do it. Life is all about keeping one's mouth shut when it matters the most.
Suddenly get this feeling of 'I used to have a Handle on life, but it Broke!'
Dreams do come true! The power of dreams! The Honda Story!
