I hold the Sai Baba of Shirdi as my guru-murti (because Hindus should have a guru, and my parents were too secular to have one), but I am kinda revolted by the other (modern-day) Sai Baba--- So, no dushmani for you from me, Nitzy ji!

And this must be a coincidence... I was listening to my YouTube collection too yesterday, and I head:

That a foul play.How could Misa top in medical exams when she couldn't top in her school and college?Out of his 9 children 2 were still in school but no one is good in studies.Everyone got admitted in the best institution on CM's quota.

Do you know his other daughter Ragini's friend/lover Abhishek's muder case.That was covered too.

Parents should set an example to their children.

These politicians corrupted life style is spoiling their children.

And that other incident..when one of his kids was getting married..his party workers took cars from Tata showroom Forcibly to be used in baraat.
Tata left Bihar in protest.
When the CM breaks the law why would the ordinary people expect justice and fairplay

I visit Shirdi every yr, or whenever I am home...for one, my parents are great devotees of Shirdi Sai Baba and two, I love the calm environment that it is. Ofcourse I love the prasad (Makhan with sugar) that u get to eat after the kakkada aarti everyday in the morning 😆 Other prasads that I love - Tirupati Ladoo, Sabramalaya pakkam and Vaishno devi's mewa😉

lol Samia😆, thats one thing I am not getting kicked out of my house for. Even my brother is like me, well all my cousins n other family-frnds I grew up with are like this...If they start kicking us out, probably they would end up with no "Heirs" in the family 😆😉

Btw, Hows Perfy? Haven't seen her in a long while!

Edit: I think respect is something u feel, u don't have to show it by calling anyone Sir or Ma'am or whatever!

Working on this book was a true collaboration. I wrote the story. But Greg Mortenson lived it.

If you get a chance to write a biography, and freedom to write just the truth and truth only, whom would you choose?

This random discussion came up today at lunch and I thought it's something I can collect everyone's opinion here too!!!
Just FYI, I work in a building housing all kinds of crazy non-profits...Weather was beautiful and we all decided to have lunch on the roof. 17 girls and just one guy, Max (Not forget the staff meeting just before the lunch with almost 25+ girls and 3 guys) Just a random mention of the number of women on the roof, and everyone realised that we spot more women in the whole building in general. Same goes for all the workshops and conferences we attend or the ppl we deal with. Everyone was in perfect unison on the fact that Women had an upper-hand in the Non-Profit bubble!

Here comes the question from Max, Why do we have more women in Non-Profit and Social Service/Reform sectors??? And then he replied himself, "Probably you women have a better heart that wants to set things right in the world!" Nobody objected (who doesn't want a little praise😉)

But now on a serious note, we are reading a book that talks abt a man who's been struggling so hard, trying to reform the society, so is it justified enough to make a general assumption that Women still dominate this sector of reforming the society? I have come across a lot of women working in these sectors but does that mean there aren't enough men? Does our gender actually make a difference? And if we assume that we have more women, why don't we have great books dedicated to them? If we have more women, then the proportion of the books to the actual workers is still not justified, and are Women not as recognised and successful as their male counterparts, bcoz they are held down by their other responsibilities?

This is what we were discussing during our lunch, would love to hear ur views 😃
