A wonderful week ahead::BEST FRIEND in Mumbai : Thoughts blog at Rediff iLand

Hi
Hope you had a wonderful week. Rains are still playing truant all over the country....power cuts and water cuts have started. Power is shutdown in the mornings for three hours. In hyderabad, the government has requested people and offices not to use their air conditioners. In jammu there is a power shutdown every two hours........61 years after independence, our country is still facing power shortage all across the country including metropolitan cities.

Our politicians as usual are making tall promises........CM of Maharashtra has promised to make Mumbai another Shanghai in the next few years......whether that dream will be realised is a guess for me as of now and will have to wait for those few years to see where we are. He doesnt realise that getting the requisite infrastructure ready will itself take decades becoz he has been unable to provide a proper road infrastructure in the city of Mumbai. Traffic jams are the norm today in Mumbai. Last week I had to travel a distance of 7 kms but it took me 45 mins to cover a distance of 2 kms. So you can imagine when I would have reached the destination, but I took the alternative of gng through a longer route and reached the destination in another 45 mins.

On the other hand China has withdrawn all its vehicles from the streets of Beijing before the Olympics so that the guests have a pollution free atmosphere and free movement of the delegates is possible during the olympics. Will India be able to take such a decision when Commonwealth games are going to be held in Delhi in 2 years time??

Looking at the horse trading going on in our political parties over the last few days will put anybody to shame. It has become a MP bazaar and this reminds me of the old days when market place auctions used to take place for slaves. Anyways let us see what happens on the 22nd.

Anyways let me wish you all a wonderful week ahead. Enjoy and rock. God bless you with success and happiness in whatever you do. Here are few thoughts which I received during the week.

No one will manufacture a lock without a key;
Similarly God will not give problems without solutions.

Art of Living
If life throws lemons at you, don"t make a lemonade out of it.
rather ask for tequila and salt.
Think differently.

Nothing happens without a reason....!!
"A person who has come into your life
has come either to teach you something
or
to learn something from you.

The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back 2 you.
A happy heart makes the face cheerful.
May your life be as HAPPY as your heart.

On the shore of life, all good relations are like waves;
They come and go but they touch such a way that
a feeling of closeness remains forever.

Don"t let your HEART be a dustbin to dump
all your worries and sadness, but let it be
a treasure box to preserve all your
happy moments and memories of life
