Introducing Dadhich Uvaach

Though this is not my first attempt at blogging, yet I am feeling the same excitement and same enthusiasm, that I had felt while starting-up my first blog. I am feeling the same flood of feelings gushing vigorously to be sensed, acknowledged and expressed in the form of words. Myriad thoughts are flaring up into storms wanting to be released and rendered into endless emblems of black over white.
I always had a flair for writing and about 2 years ago had started my first blog named "Dust Unsettled", in anonymity, under a pseudo name. I thought it would be more liberating to write things with no strings attached; it would be easier to say things that I always wanted to say with no identity affiliation; it would be comfortable to take a stance with a brand new personality, which had no past, no history, no form. 

Boy, how wrong I was! I tried to run the show for almost 2 years without really ever feeling like running it. And that became the drawback. It proved more difficult for me to say things from a person who is no-one in particular; it became arduous to present views from an identity with no form; it turned out unattainable to voice out an honest opinion with no attached personality. I knew it was going nowhere and eventually ended it.
In this process I realized that if I ever want to write then I will have to become me, that I will have to attach my name with those words, opinions, ideas, and feelings - they can't be orphaned and abandoned. I have to expose the person behind the writing and thus have to receive the bouquets as-well-as brick-bats for my written word. Not for the satisfaction of self gratification or personal glory or fame, but to write things as I really see them and thus to make them authentic and genuine and in a way endorsed. So here's presenting - Dadhich Uvaach - my blog with my name and identity. Literally translated it means From the mouth of Dadhich or more simply Dadhich Spoke. Hope you will come here often to read my thoughts and write your own as comments.

Fasting and Feasting - Part 2

Image
So after a huge success of the last post  (before anybody protests, let me remind "success means different things to different people") and enormous public demand (I have the gift to read people's unexpressed thoughts) and having survived the TOUGH fast I am back with the part 2 of the Fasting and Feasting in Singapore. Let me start from where I left in the previous post. I slept with all my mind and house filled with the delicious aromas of the fasting dishes and happily dreamed eating those one-by-ones tastefully with the divine rhythmic chants of  Har Har Mahadev . In the morning, I was getting ready for the office when Amisha casually asked me about the address of the Lord Shiva temple so that she and her friends can visit the temple later. I will leave it to the Cricket connoisseurs to declare it a "clean-bowled" or a "stumped" as even after spending one-and-a-half years here, I have no clues about the whereabouts of "orthodox" sacred ...

What % of population is required to bring about a change?

So what's the minimum number of people required from a population to bring about a change? Most of the people may say "At least 50% or slightly more than 50%". If you also thought so then you are in for a surprise. According to a research, it takes only 11% of the total population to stand up to bring about  ANY change. Yes, just 11%. They studied all the major changes in the world, all the major revolutions and then arrived at this figure. They found that if at least 11% of population is in favor of something then the rest of it is more inclined to adopt the change. Isn't that a pleasant surprise? We often want to change some thing but don't move ahead because we are afraid that the majority may not be with us. So, the good news is we don't really require a majority. We just need 11% of like-minded people and once we get them and move ahead properly we can see the change happening very quickly. According to a survey, 48% of Indian population is with te...

Going Home - Part 2

And then it happened. Everything started falling in place. I got the job offers I was waiting for. We got the family support we were looking for. Everything was perfect. So we started packing. We started packing roughly around 4 years of our belongings that we had gathered in Singapore. But at the same time, unknowingly, we started unpacking the memories we had amassed while being there. Small anecdotes, silent chuckles, hyesterical laughters, memories of tastes of some dishes eaten for the first time there, shared memories and what nots started falling all over the house. We started missing our good friends even while sitting with them, futilely guessing about the next time we would be able to sit with them again. And then that question started getting stickier with time - where are we going, where is our home?
