Oscar Time
It's been a proud moment for INDIA with our own A R Rahman winning the Oscar not just once but twice for his work in Slumdog Millionaire.I couldn't have felt more happier.While my hands were scribbling on my test papers that morning,my mind was filled with thoughts about Oscar.Couldn't wait to get out of the hall to check my messages. And there it was, we did it. I was happy ,just happy then.But as the feeling started to sink in, I started thinking more about this. What makes Oscars special?Is Oscar the only recognition a person can be weighed upon? and more and more... I discover one thing,this Oscar is like a rumour.People like it, they like to hear about it, wait to hear more about it and it is celebrated as an occasion.'Jai ho' is great, but i can bet many wil agree that A R Rahman's Roja is beyond comparison.Then why didn't Roja get the Oscars? Maybe it didn't get the exposure like Slumdog..Our Indian Cinema is filled with diversity,creativity and brimming with talent. At least let this Oscar bring the world eye's on our country. JAI HO

FRIENDSHIP
Dedicated to all my FRIENDS...
We were born and then anyone who took care of us, made us laugh, played with us,were our friends.
We grew up, started kinder garden. The one sitting next to us was our friend.
We further grew up, started primary school.Now anyone who shared a pencil with us, became our friend. Anyone who was a part of our prank became our friend. Anyone who shared lunch with us was our friend.
How good it would have been, if we could freeze time around here. When friendship was all about innocence,happiness,laughter.....
But time never freezes it goes on...
We started high school, now friendship wasn't so easy. It involved trust, patience, endurance, knowing about each other, keeping secrets, being there for each other and many more.
We enjoyed this phase of friendship, but it wasn't all laughter we had, a lot of tears we shared too..
We are out of school, stepping into a new world college.We are given the opportunity to take our own decisions.We meet different people, some quiet, some loud, some flashy, some simple, some open, some mysterious, altogether a different one from us.We try to merge in, into this group of diverse personalities, at the same time trying to stand out as an individual.Here friendship is lot more than trust, patience and endurance. Apart from all these we learn harsh reality. People change everyday, what was liked yesterday maybe despised today. In this world we find friends, despite of our differences who match our wavelength. We learn to look at them, for the good in them.We learn to accept and adapt to the changes. We dawn upon that fact that friendship is not a simple relationship anymore. We also realize, some friendships that begun, just with a pencil has depths that can last a lifetime.
Big or Small, Long or Short, Happy or Moody, Weak or Strong, Silent or Chatterbox, FRIENDS are always FRIENDS:)
