Is It Really WE?????

Nature began with fauna,the plants and trees.Jungles followed,animals being next.So,literally man was the last and a fearfully astonishing creation of nature/God.But is it really so???I wonder....well,ummm... maybe.He has the brains to make his own creators work according to his wishes.So,conclusively,he IS the greatest of them all.
As the society developed,man gained power and as the technology developed, his powers grew.So much so that he rendered other species of this earth homeless.U guessed it right,its animals that Im talking about.Their problems like extinction threats,homelessness,poaching,reckless hunting for pleasure,etc. are all accredited to man.Therefore when monkeys attack my fridge,hide in my attic or garden,I dont blame them.When street dogs scare away my pet dog from 'their' territory,I dont blame them.When stray cows/boffoloes litter my street,I only manage a smile.Haven't we been doing the same to their habitat???
And when some of them like whales,tigers,lions etc show signs of extinction,I like the kind of panic they create for our environmentalists.People,u get to reap only what u sow.Why blame anyone else???Try and observe youself....
I'll tell u what I do.When I see any cartman beating his oxen,buffalo or horse,I don't stop him but get back home and cuddle my 'snowy' more that evening.....
I shower all the concern and love on my 'little stuffy" rather than doing something for the 'real suffers'.Not really a solution,is it???
The whole point of holding your attention for so long is to make you realize one small fact that lets let them live their life.....
Even they have one life and they have all the right to live it peacefully,just as we intend to(though never can!!!).
Please do not let the children around you tease,beat or irritate the poor beings who have nowhere to go as such...
Please give the leftover food(but not the spoiled) to them,put some clear water in a clean vessel outside your windows and on the corner of the entrance and do NOT overspeed on the road.No one will file an FIR if u kill one of these beings but can't u feel all these requests in their eyes when they walk past u at the traffic signal????
can't u see the condemn they show for the GOD'S greatest creation,we,the humans???
Lets not try to be GODS instead try be humans for a change,no???

Men we Trust.....

From the time we are born,we are subjected to a plethora of relations (coz friends come much later...).For us, the first insight into the world of opposite sex starts as we interact with our parents,grand parents and other uncles,aunts,brothers and sisters.As a girl,my first introduction to the men's world came when I started interacting and understanding my dad and grandad.They were the first men I could trust without having to think twice.I did that and I'm not sorry for it...
As I grew up,I started making friends and naturally,by the virtue of my liberal upbringing,I have a lot of male friends.Infact,I have more male friends than female friends though I'd love to have some more of 'girlie' types coz I realize that there is something that GIRLS will understand about me and my behaviour that men can never,no matter how hard they try or how understanding they are...
But lets not get into something thats not the agenda.So,as I grew up making friends with all types of boys in my school and college,I realized that they can be both,good and bad (I know thats obvious,but read on.....).
They could be trust worthy and total bastards....
I somehow have always believed in trusting people I've befriended though am always advised against it(but who cares about the advice that comes free of cost???).In the course,I've been betrayed,taken for a ride and made to feel very bad about myself.I've fallen in love,seen people fall in love with me and come across guys who think I'm just another doable babe....
Just as I thought about the men this evening,what I could not help but wonder was
why cant we trust all the men we meet in our lives?
why cant all the men atleast try and be a little mentally stable or not let sex drive them crazy like a drunkard on the loose?
I saw a couple fighting on the road this evening.As luck would have had it,I got to stand right next to them at the next traffic signal.All I could make out was that the girl was upset coz she heard rumours about "her' man going around with another girl.Phew.........Nothing new I thought and although it was just a rumour,all I could think was that why can't this guy accept if he's going around with another woman??
Why cant he accept that all women can be stupid,unreasonable,emotional and/or total bitches when it comes to gossiping and backstabbing but never WRONG.......
I know why,its just because when we are in love,we 'loose control'!!!!!!!!
And that is majorly because,WE TRUST THE MEN WE LOVE AND IT HURTS LIKE HELL WHEN THE TRUST AND LOVE IS NOT RECIPROCATED..........

Flavours of Favours

Recently a friend asked me to arrange some passes for the upcoming india fashion weeek.I,in turn asked another friend, who was working with the publicity managers of fashion week organisers, to oblige.As expected,he said he will try.
Just as i lay in my bed that night,I wondered what a flavoured favour had travelled from my friend to me and then to my another friend and then to his boss(if at all he would muster the courage to do so!).
What I could not help but think was, what was there in these shows except for some hot pair of legs that everybody wanted to get crushed between (or some bolder ones to sail their way through).
Was it really the garments and the designs and the fabric that was on display??
As much as I know,my friend and hundreds of people like him were unlikely to understand the art that designing was(if at all someone can call it an art!).All everybody wanted to know was;
How well a particular choreographer managed his/her models for a particular show
How much of cleavage would be on display and, ofcourse,
How obnoxious and wierd some fresh pass-outs from all the designing institutes could be in the name of creativity...
The chain of favours had some flavour to it.Flavour of fun,sex,colour and some expected dating....
How much of it would be accomplished is not important,what is important is why do our fashion exhibitions are never able to accomplish anything more than all this?
The money,energy and resources that go into organising all these shows generally go down the drain as business acumen on the part of our designers and organisers is not up to the mark or atleast not even half of what it should be.
Their energy goes into making page 3 contacts rather than making international and
other business related contacts.And then, there are conflicts over trademark designs and piracy of them!
What are these designers gonna do with their designs if they are not able to sell them??After all,how much can someone go on storing in their respective warehouses???
With such noble thoughts i went to sleep that particular night with a mental note to follow up on my friend to arrange 2 passes for me....
