Paint it Green, remove Red........

“Long ago, there was a king called Kamunist, he was a great ruler and had a great control over his state. He was very clever and had immense administrative acumen. With his wisdom and acute knowledge of people management the King became almost invincible and ruled his state for decades”.One fine morning a noble Brahmin came to the state and after looking at the status of people and the economy of state, he decided to go the king. When king heard about the Brahmin he gracefully invited him to his court and welcomed him to the court. Then the king asked the brahmin,“Hey brahmin, I am grateful to you that you arrived at my door, what can I do for you? Brahmin replied, “Rajan! I heard a lot about you & your administrative acumen and therefore I came all along to see you and to see the people.King...

Osama Killled: A Perspective !!

News came in the early morning on a news channel that Osama Bin Laden was found & killed at some place in Pakistan. I was shocked with the news, that how come a person like Osama can be killed. So here is my analysis of the truth behind curtains: I used three spects to look at the proceedings.1. Pakistan : A nation which terms itself as victim of terrorism, an ally of US, staunch supporter of counter terrorism operations in Afganistan and by virtue of it, it earns millions of dollars as free ball from US, a full range of battle ready equipments, explosives, technologies from the bosses sitting in white house.But inadvertantly, against all...

Party Abhi Baki Hai - RIO ishstyle

One of the most memorable takeaways from Pune would be a drink called RIO. Born in 2007 out of an entrepreneur  venture ‘Silver Ice Beverages’, RIO is all set to hit the cola and juice market of India. Hitting a health conscious and cola hungry market wasn’t that easy. RIO comes in three different fruity flavours with a dash of fizz, and the company has gone an extra mile by adding a healthy dose of Honey and Vitamin C. IMPRESSIVE! What makes RIO stand out in the crowded space of drinks is not only does it offer unique flavours and healthy carbonated drink, but it also comes in exceptionally good package. And mind it, when I say unique...

Scent of a Woman || Perfume by Priyanka

“Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice…” such goes the list of ingredients for a lovely girl. Ask anyone, even the hobo living in a cardboard box, everyone agrees: A Girl Always Smells Nice.Nice? You mean like peaches & bergamot or lavender & honey?? I’m a girl and I demand an answer?!!My favorite scent remains to be that of musty old books in the attic. Or of rain, just before it rains. Or of winter… when your breathe freezes fogging up your view of the sunset. Or like cheese oozing from a double burst pizza! Or like babies who have been squeaked clean and dressed up in pinks & blue, just perfect for a day in the park!!But you never get these in a bottle in any store! Hmmm…You know what all of it reminds me of? Home. My Mom.Each time I return home for a few days, I pause for a moment...

Life in Slow Motion ||Gone in 60 seconds by Priyanka

WARNING: Extremely long story, capable of testing your knowledge of Pop-culture, patience and sanity on multiple levels. Not recommended for novices. Sango came into being just as everyone else around her; nothing new in being thrown onto Mother Earth on account of the parent over-eating beyond herself! As she was growing up, Sango’s mom started slowly drifting away, and then the inevitable moment came when as Sango looked around for that familiar comfort of her mother, there was just the sea of nudges and shoves. The neighbors, instead of bad-mouthing her mom for maternal negligence, instead pooh-poohed her as a sissy. No-one in their knowledge had latched on to her mother for as long as she did! “What a disgrace of a progeny!” “Good for the poor mother, she practically had to run away....

Strawberry Fields Forever || Ion

Little red bubbles of love, you call them. Trembling voices and figuring woes, gather momentum As we walk across the misty trails, like two souls lost In abandoned passion, and the valley’s grass gently crushed underneath. When you speak, the words fill up my mind. Staying awhile, I know, I might find one more dream in your eyes. As your fingers run through my hair a voice escapes me.... You're here today, it says. Blinded, I am, but I feel your piercing gaze Run down my face, an inch at a time, Its placid charity echoing your warm touch. Only, today you are here, and it is beautiful. Not sure if you figure what you see in these eyes, I can see your lips curl up into a smile, as you let me Walk you through these strawberry fields. Just a promise lingers – forever...
