saw lage raho munna bhai a couple of days ago and loved every moment of it. vidya balan had a huge part to play in my loving the film - who can resist that delightful smile- but other than her, i fell in love with Gandhi.

what a wonderful way to bring home a man who one has seen standing in parks and hung on walls! suddenly he comes alive and becomes relevant to our "modern" lives. satyagrah and non violence do not stay only as symbols of India's independence struggle but now become a living reality.. a possibility in our lives.

"gandhigiri" seems like something to aspire to.

" Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes"
Mahatma Gandhi

indian airlines is the only carrier that hires its airhostesses for more than five years at a stretch. which is why you see women who are older than 35.
on the last kingfisher flight i took a man complained that the women's shoes were not shiny enough. he was not spiffy and shiny but it didn't stop him from complaining.
what makes people think that women on planes must be skinny and sexy(because the non-skinny can also be sexy but how often people forget)?
have lost track of how i got to this blog. it is nice.
