The whole north-INDIA is under the grip of severe heat wave . It is a known fact to all ( courtesy-- news channels and news papers ...) . So , like all other persons , i am also facing the wrath of SUN-GOD now a days . It is such a great nuisance that i thought to dedicate todays post to this current topic .
And moreover there is power-cuts too for several hours also . Which means the only surviving kit for this summer contains ---
1. small hand-fans ( made by plastic or big tree leaves/taalpata) and
2. hanky ( may be a towel would be a better idea to wipe the sweat ...)
3. books ( as there is no tv or radio due to power-cut )
4. cotton clothes ( to save you from this heat ) .
It is really to work in the kitchen , but that is necessary . So ladies do it anyway .
I really feel sad for those persons who has to move outside (due to the demand of some particular profession ) during the afternoon . Indeed it is a punishment .
I won't go into much detail in this topic , but will give a hint of the life of DELHI by quoting headings of newspapers of last three days ---
" India Faces Moosoon Washout ( North-India May Be Worst Hit , Khariff Crops In Danger ) "
" Tempers Rise On Water Power Shortfall "
" Northern Greed Leaves Delhi In Dark "
" Water Woes Also Continue "
"Assembly Too On Short Fuse "
" City Reels Under Worst Power Crisis In Years ( Cuts Up To 12 Hrs ) "
" Traffic Lights Go On The Blink "
"Low Voltage Means No AC, Even Inverters Fail "
" No Respite From Mercury , Humidity Makes It Worse "
Oh yes , I forgot to mention the shortage in water supply ... it is right there with heat and power-cut .
But overall we are not in such a bad condition .May be reading these news will make you feel bad and you start worrying over it , but let me tell you --- all of these are bearable , there is nothing 'too much' in this situation . Sometimes a certain phase comes , evolves into its nature/shows us its true features ; then after a certain time gives way to the next phase . This is the rule of life itself . So all this heat really does not need worrying / lamenting over it from our side . All it needs is to get acknowledgment from us about its true nature .We should also enjoy it as a part of whole process ( cycle of seasons ) .

SINS AND VICES
Today i am writing about a debatable topic . Till now i have not attempted to write about any moral topic , but today some recent issues compelled me to write about it .
We all know about the idea of any wrong doing , which is called PAAP according to HINDU religion . And my CHRISTIAN friends also know about the SEVEN DEADLY SINS ( lust , gluttony , greed , sloth , wrath , envy , pride ) . Well i don't know about the detail anlysis of all religions but each and every religion does have specific instructions regarding wrong doings ( because any religion actually is a guideline for living peaceful life while experiencing an easy relation with the creator ) . In this way religious instructions help us to check our reactions in each and every situations of life .
Now why am i writing so much about it ? i want to explain 3 incidents ----
1 . I was watching MAHABHARAT series ,. There during the game of dice , the debatable decisions taken by YUDHISTIR were a result of GREED . From extreme frustration , he thought somehow he will manage to win . But we all know the result . In any kind of gamble this is the mental state of a player . This corresponds to the list of sins given above .
2. This one is an ancient story . Parikshit was an wise king but unknowingly he gave permission to the great rakshas KALI to dwell in GOLD . Now KALI started to dominate the king through the king's-crown (which was made of gold ) . With this influence the wise king PARIKSHIT lost his sense of judgement and insulted a sage bacuse of a very minor mistake . He became a slave of the great sin WRATH ( also in the list above ) . As he was under WRATH 's influence , he took a wrong decision .
3 . Now the last one --SHINEY AHUJA . Actually this is the reason why i took up this topic today . As i heard the charge against him , i felt really sad . He had a good image in my mind , i was a great fan of him . But i guess he was driven by LUST ( again refering to the list above ) . Though the case is going on , but one thing is sure --everything is not fine in his place , otherwise the topic would never have appeared .
What i realised from these incidents is that --no one is above theses SINS . Once we give them green signal ( many times unknowingly or by not being conscious enough ) , they are capable to ruin our life . So we have to take care of each step . We have to be aware of each and every decision taken by us otherwise our life can become a mirror of any of these incidents .

I LOVE CRICKET TOO ...
OK , last time i have written about my love for football . Today i will write about the importance of cricket in my life .
Like football , also cricket has always been followed in our house by my grandfather and my dad . So naturally, i started to take interest in the game from a very young age .
This game is known for its association with the CLASS ( quite different from the 'MASS assotiation' i. e. bodily contact of football ) . In cricket , the players are so smart , and the game has a soothing power in it ( because of the time alloted for fielding and for the bowler to walk back , and above all the break between 2 overs ) . I mean it is so different from fast- pace of football , where the game changes in every moment , it keeps you glued with your seat . Here i have not planned to compare the two games , but my last post was about football , so those points are still there in my mind .
I had some favourite players in cricket too --SACHIN TENDULKAR , ANIL KUMBLE , SOURAV GANGULY , HANSE CRONJE , JHONTY RHODES , KEPLAR WESSELS , ROSHAN MAHANAMA ...and many more i guess, i cannot remember all the names right now .
10-25 years back i really loved cricket . But when i came to know about the BETTING episode -- from then onwards , i lost my interest in the game . Now a days i watch the game , follow the news in the newspaper/television , but never feel that-much invovement with the game as the same in the past .
Why i took such a long gap to post a new topic here ? Because all these days i was busy with a discussion in my social -networking site . And believe me , that was a serious debate and has been a learning experience for me .

I LOVE FOOTBALL
YES !!! I love football .
I really don't know from when have i felt this interest in the game , but i just enjoy it . Actually my grandfather and my father ( and my younger brother also ) are ardent supporter of this game , so i guess i inherited this trait from my family itself .
OK , i know , traditionally it has been perceived as a man's game . I mean , so many players fighting for a single ball - does it really make sense ? I don't know .
All i know is - i just love the excitement , the energy of football . The joy of watching your team scoring a goal - cannot be compared to anything . I know i am not a great authority on football - many times i am not correct about the decision about free kick or an off-side . I watch it for the sheer joy of the game .
There is another reason as well . I have some favourite players and teams . So when they play i have an added interest . Come on , we , the women , also have the right to watch handsome , talented players , with athletic body . Yes i like that too .
I love ITALY , I always support it during the world cup . I have many favourite players like ROBERTO BAGGIO , PAOLO MALDINI i , FRANCO BARESI , F CANNAVARO and many more . I love nearly all the players of this team (during each WORLD CUP ) . I must say they are quite beautiful lot .
The next team i love is ARGENTINA , from the time of MARADONA , i have loved this side . Now i support this team after ITALY .
I really don't understand the beauty of the game , so i am unable to appreciate BRAZIL , i am really sorry for that . But i hear so much about them that i have respect for BRAZIL .
Besides these teams mentioned above , i watch the games between other teams also , i love the spirit . I have many more favourite players like - C . RONALDO , KAKA and many others .
Besides my parents , my relatives also know about my passion about this game . Sometimes , even my father-in-law calls me to let me know about a match being shown live on tv . I discuss my interests with both my dad and my father in law , they are really sweet to discuss the intricacies of the game , helping me to understand it better .
Above all i love it because of the life-force (the energy ) , each moment the game is alive . I tell you , the enthusiasm and the strength of football is really infectious . I love to experience it again and again .

IN A HAPPY MOOD
Well , today i am very happy . The reason is that - it had been raining all night . In delhi we get very few showers in any given year . This year was also going in the same way . But since last 2-3 days the weather has shown signs of change . Even 2 days ago also , it had rained during the night . One thing to note here is that in delhi it rains in small areas at a time . It is very uncommon situation to see the whole delhi drenched in rain in the same time ( though sometimes it happens ) . So sometimes my husband would tell me that it had rained in the locality of his office , whereas i have experienced only a cloudy sky here throughout the whole day . I am really relaxed today , finally watching rain from my window .
Another point to remember is - as i am not in a job right now , i am enjoying the rain . But if i had to go anywhere then i think i wouldn't have welcomed rain with such a high spirit . In fact , then i wouldn't have given that much importance to rain so as to write a post on it ... Because i don't love to get wet at all (i am really serious ) .
This weekend i have seen 2 films of one of my favourite martial arts star - Jet li . The films are ROMEO MUST DIE and ROUGE ASSASSIN . I enjoyed both the films .
With this good mood i am finishing my post today . Do let me know your views about rain and getting wet .
