Leo....!!

The Leo type is the most dominant, spontaneously creative and extrovert of all the zodiacal characters.They are ambitious, courageous, dominant, strong willed, positive, independent, self-confident there is no such a word as doubt in their vocabularies, and they are self-controlled. Born leaders, either in support of, or in revolt against, the status quo.They are uncomplicated, knowing exactly what they want and using all their energies, creativeness and resolution to get it, as well as being certain that they will get whatever they are after. Leonians think and act bigger than others would normally dare; the ambitiousness of their schemes and idealism sometimes daunt their followers, their practical hardheadedness and ability to go straight to the heart of any problem reassures those who depend on them. If Leonians meet with setbacks they thrive on the adversity. On the whole they are powers for good, for they are strongly idealistic, humane, and beneficent. They have powerful intelligence and are of a broad philosophical, sometimes religious, turn of mind. These will be found as the 'lions' of industries, and in the forefront of the cutting edge of technologies. Add to them a passion for luxury, a lust for power, unlimited sexual lust, and emotional indulgence They are not good judges of character and are inclined to favoritism and an exaggerated faith in their followers which too often ends in disappointment. They have a strong desire of sex. In professional life they do well at any vocation at which there is room at the top. As politicians they are content with nothing less than a powerful position in government. In business they may be the chairman of their company's board, or at least directors or managers. They are excellent organizers as well.
Leo
can become stars of stage or screen (their bent is serious rather than light drama), maestros as musicians.

Indian rails....

I am very fond of indian rails!! I feel in mixed state of emotions in rails. There we find so many different moods n shades of life.Like some below-
1. Angels.....
Nothing can stop kids from being so innocent. They make us feel joyous n happy. THeir innocent heroic tales n sweet voices refreshesd mind totally. Their small magical world, the cute questions, that musical cry, n d simple games. Everything makes d environment light.
2.Hidden talents....
Now here I m talking about d singing talent which usually comes out in a train journey. Antakshari is a favourite timepass game for us indians n we all like it(few exceptions cant be left behind). N thats how everyone's hidden talent comes out. No matterwhat quality d voice is, n nomatter how shy d person might be but antakshari can break it all. N then some people's ears haveto suffer this all but it is not worth complaining....after all what better option u get to kill time in long journeys.
3Saas-bahu part.....
Well this is to describe d very common gossip topic amongst women. Women r d only species who can talk n on n on....n that to on anyworthless topic. They can make frnz anywhere n wid anyone. N then their common topics....relatives, native places, tv soaps, some commonproblems, domestic goods, etc. They just need a chance n then we have to suffer it all.
4.Youth....
They will be seen killing their time in chit-chat or card-games or sum other sort of games like dumsharaz. They r least bothered abouttheir appearance n surroundings. Its easy for them to kill time whether in groups or individually. Even when some1 is travelling alone....many options are possible....i-pod, cells, books(my fav), laptops,etc. N grp activities i already mentioned.
5.Love in d air....
Sometimes we find that love factor also. In d form of newly weds or a young couple from college. They r busy in their ownstuffs n eye games. They r conscious n in differnt world at d same time. No more talks on them. As d species vary in their behaviour.
6Irritated heads.....
Then comes d next type. The working men from different classes. They r d most irritated people i guess due to their workloadsn tensions. THeir way of killing time varies. Some complete theis pending work, some chat about politics iwd co-travellers,someare always asleep,some in deep thoughts. But they r always irritated by d younger grps n their activities.
7Calm side.....
Her is d grp of some old people n diseased humans...they r d most calm amongst d whole crowd. But they also try to enjoy.
N offcourse their are some evil-minded people who always r ready to fight on every single thing. They r self-centred people.No matter watevr happens around....always busy n ready to pounce.
These r some interesting things one will always notice in indian rails.Do share your experiences if u want.
Ciao till the.

small BIG things!!

Janjira fort n empty mineral water bottles!!

Well this post is about d small things which we always forget n wen they turn big we just wonder why it happened. Well i wont twist it more. I m talking about our civic sense. Where has it gone?? Some important things which we learnt in primary school r being forgotten by many ppl around. R they so hard to remember??

Things like...

1. Not to throw garbage on road on any other improper place but in dustbins.

2. Not to smoke in public.

3. To keep ur vehicles' engine off at signals.

4. Not to make loud noise in hospital premises or near to it.
5. To follow signals n other minor traffic rules.

6. To avoid spitting anywhere.

and many such small things.

I mean we never pay attention to our habits n then unnecessarily curse d government for this. No1 worry abt d garbage they throw on roads daily but if gets converted into a large heap of it everyone starts complaining. But they totally forgt d fact that they also contributed to it. N this civic sense shud cum in youngsters first. A lot of young crowd keep their engine running on signals wen they follow them. Many ppl dont take d efforts to stop at signals....go over d speed limits. Ppl realise abt noise around only wen their relatives gt troubled.

I just want to tell all my dear frnz....atleast if we try n tell our frnz to follow this things....may be we can do something good. It all starts wid this small efforts....n then some big changes come.

All of us can enjoy d movie Rang de basanti.....but wen it comes to do something.....yawn n yawn n yawn!!!

Plz frnds try n make sum efforts plz....!!!

SEA!!

Dear blogdosts (in shobhaa de's style)....U all must be thinking....pagal ho gayi hai sonam....koi bhi panchat topic utha kar likhna shuru kar deti hai.
But sorry u wil hav to bear this one also......
I m really amazed my sea n its various forms.....
Somtimes its so calm that u can just submerge in its silence.....
Sometimes its in its all anger n leaves u shattered by its rage.....
No matter it always fascinates 90 outa 100 people. N most of d people gets emotional at its sight....no matter wat kinda emotions they are....its so humane!!
I also like
to sit, stare, blink, laugh at it.....
Each time I visit it....some new expression gets on my heart.
Sometimes I think it is a child, sometimes a crazy toy,
a rude bully or a singer!
But this time wen I went to konkan wid al my frnz....n wen I dint had much time to think about it calmly....then also within d short span of time it gave me a nice thought.
This time I thought of it as TIME......
The waves come n go like each second in our life....it comes touches us....sometimes leaves an impact or takes evrything with it....n we cant get back watever it takes away...we can just stand there n then again a new second(new wave) comes wid sum different form n tale. I was totally amazed by this TIME form of sea n enjoyed it a lot....
So wats it for u guys....huh???
