I am....

I am an Indian… & a proud one at that !

I am in love with freedom… of thoughts, expressions & choices

I am responsible… I follow my duties of being a daughter, sister, mother & a friend

I am positive… No problem is strong enough to crush me entirely

I am sincere… I never leave a job unfinished

I am well-mannered & courteous … I don’t jump queues, I don’t push people in crowds & I never forget to say thank-you !

I am qualified… One of the Indian parents dream – Engineer ( the other dream is doctor of course :/ )

I am… all that my parents taught me while growing up & have tried my best to be “accepted” by people

But…..

I also am crazy… I fangirl at 30 & the crazier scale of fangirling !

I also am a shopaholic… shoes,clothes,bags,watches…everything basically

I also am stupid & dumb ( at times ! )

I also am a Drama Queen… Life without Nautanki is so bleh !

I also am in love with my “Me Time”… I need time with myself…period! Indulging into my hobbies or something that takes me away from responsible thoughts !

I also am spontaneous… I decide impromptu to get into a different career field after 7 years !

…….it is important to keep yourself alive & upbeat by going the crazy way at the same time love it or hate it, you cannot ignore your roles & responsibilities !

So combine them both & make the best of both worlds !! :)

Bleed Blue...&...See Red !!

A little late & ya ya the IPL madness is all over the place but still...

India has multiple religions which coexist ( apparently ! ) yet one religion that binds us together is Cricket ! We have this sudden burst of patriotism when we watch our men in Blue !

Defending Champions & the very heavy #WeWontGiveItBack tag meant immense pressure on Dhoni & his boys ! They played extremely well, however "Gave it back" is known to us all, but whats extremely worrisome is the sudden change of attitude & showers of angry actions & backlash on all the social networking platforms by the same people who were proud to #BleedBlue !

People belonging to other nations ( the neighbors ) giving flak was very much expected ! I personally got some ridiculously irrelevant comments on what kind of Sidharth Malhotra fan I am just cause I spoke about cricket & supported my nation ! ( yes by a fellow Sidharth fan. )

Stone pelting, burning posters & effigies.. why? Because how dare we give it back??? Only if it was easy as running away with the cup & going underground !

Why are we so impatient with all this ? why cant we accept the situation, applaud the efforts AND move on ?

We are a very tolerant nation mind you ! we DON'T mind people dictating terms to us under the guise of moral policing, we DON'T mind riots every now & then, we go past a bomb blast as though it was as easy as a cracker burst ! 

So then why this hypocrisy?? 
Lets not be so callous with our attitude towards people who actually work hard for our National Pride !!

Can we say bye bye to double standards before the next World Cup ??
