Love After Love ..

My friend Munmun sent this today. I really liked it :-)


The time will come 
when, with elation 
you will greet yourself arriving 
at your own door, in your own mirror 
and each will smile at the other's welcome, 

and say, sit here. Eat. 
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart 
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you 

all your life, whom you ignored 
for another, who knows you by heart. 
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, 

the photographs, the desperate notes, 
peel your own image from the mirror. 
Sit. Feast on your life.

A piece of my mind on India's security solution

The solution to our internal security is not simple. The responsibility of this situation is just not on the politicians and bureaucrats, but on the whole of India. - The people of India. I think we are as much responsible as the politicians and bureaucrats are for this current pathetic situation. The following are the things that are the needs of the hour : Politicians Create a separate portfolio for Internal/Homeland Security. Have a really strong minister fo r it. Make a division in CBI, RAW etc solely for the purpose of the internal security. They will brief the union minister for homeland security. Each state has its own state minister for internal security. They are responsible for the security of the state s. Have highly trained commandos in all the major cities including tier 1 cities. Train the police to handle such terrorist attacks in the absence of the commandos. Also, train them to work under the commando when they are present. Provide all the equipment required to do the

My First Motorcycle Roadtrip

I went on my first road on my motorcycle( Kawasaki Ninja 500R) to a place called Kingman in the north of Arizona. This was 22nd of June 2007. It is around 200 miles from Phoenix, Arizona. A fun ride it was and was not very tiring as i assumed it would be. I left early around 6am and reached Kingman around 9.30am with 2 stops in the middle at Wickenberg and a some other place just before Kingman. The trip was very uneventful except that my gear lever came off few miles outside Kingman. Stopping at a gas station nearby, I found that I could put it back myself using the tools I had in my bike. Thank God! After finishing my work, I had short lunch break at Denny's in Kingman. For my friends back home, Denny's is nice diner chain where you get bottomless coffee :-). I left back early around 11.30am, so I can reach Phoenix before the temperature rises. On my way back, I stopped at a bridge and took a small video. My first personal video taken on my new Moto Rizr. First thing, I real

Indo-US nuclear deal - Good for India; but for others?

Till yesterday, Indo-US nuclear deal had my full support. Knowing the energy woes in India and having experienced uninterrupted energy supply in the US, I could confidently say that nuclear deal will be big step towards India's energy security. Nuclear deal is good for India. OK! But, Does it affect other people around the world? This question never occured to till yesterday and I realised how selfish I had been while analysing this nuclear deal issue. Yesterday evening, My friend and I went to a free screening of a couple of environmental related feature films organised by the Sierra Club . One of the films (called Homeland) focussed on 5 remarkable native-american activists in 4 communities who are fighting to preserve their land and their culture against multinational corporations looking to extract the mineral wealth of their reservation. One of the reservations - The Navajo community in New Mexico, is very rich in Uranium reserves. It is one of the bigger known reserves of u
