Podcast - Bus Kahani Hai

Image
T his post is dedicated to introducing my Podcast - Bus Kahani Hai . I have made this podcast with an intention to connect to people through my voice. This is not only a means of sharing my views and stories with the world but is also a medium to talk to myself.   A podcast is a good medium to connect with people as it does not demand the attention of your eyes; all it wants from you is to lend your ears. Often when you are commuting on a bus or in a metro, listening to a podcast can be a great idea: All you need is an earphone and bingo! My Podcast - Bus Kahani Hai has a Trailer as an introduction and episodes that are published from time to time. All the episodes so far have been archived below with dedicated links for one-click listening. Also, it is my humble request to leave your valuable feedback and comments on this post or on my  Instagram page   https://www.instagram.com/neoimaginations/     Twitter handle  Bus Kahani Hai              Latest Episodes Episode 4 : Khidki Ke Baa

Am your Friend but with a Guilt

Image
                                           Life would have been easy if heart and mind echoed each other. But the very problem is that both seldom work in tandem and love to contradict most of the times. That is when the situation becomes tough to tackle and we end up doing things that we either adore or repent later.                       Here is a story of Biju and Anvesh, who were closest of the friends but things changed that evening for ever between them. Both were class V students, studying in KV Coimbatore  in the year 1996 and were fast friends. The story is written in Biju s voice to reduce the vicarious factor.             It was evening 5 pm and as Anvesh's father just returned from Chennai . Anvesh called me (Biju)  up and asked me to come home. I walked the stone throw away distance playing football with the pebbles on the road. As i greeted Uncle and Aunty, Anvesh took me to his room to show something exciting he had. I was awestruck when i saw beautiful

DISCLAIMER ! The Indian Way.

Image
                                    Of lately the television media and film industry is completely obsessed with " Disclaimer" tag as a preface to the shows to be aired. Nothing can reach the viewers until and unless a Disclaimer notice is shown  as a first shot. The hero smokes a cigarette in a movie and before it is lighted the disclaimer script will run beneath the screen and read as " Smoking or chewing of Tobacco is injurious to health". Is nt that pathetic ? Who the hell ,watching the movie doesn't know that million dollar fact ? We all know what is good, what is bad. what is healthy and what is unhealthy.Does it stop anybody from adopting what he or she likes in the movie (good or bad) ? Why aren't the filmmakers taking the responsibility of what they are trying to show or sell ? Why are they just trying to clear their  hands by hoisting a "Disclaimer Flag".  Do we think that Disclaimers can devoid the flaws of wrong depiction

My first Liebster Blog Award

Image
                        It is my debut blog award and therefore very special. Visiting the blogosphere I saw you residence at renowned blog walls. I always coveted you to be mine someday. Always thought someday I will have one to my blog too. Seeing my friend bloggers nominations, my eyes always searched the list for my name secretly without even letting me know that I was looking for myself.                           They say, you get what you are attracted for, what you dream for. So violating all boundaries of time and probabilities you reached me much before I expected you though craved for you. Thank you Kavya for giving me this privilege and a major morale boost. Also I thank all my dear readers who ushered me with “Liebster Blog Award”.  Liebster (the word means kindest, dearest, beloved, cute, endearing in German) is an award that you accept with an intention of paying it forward. Having received one I learnt that it is a blogger to blogger award and has
