What is the difference between Magazine, Freedom and Portal?? Do we have a section where we list our profile? AM I the only one a little lost?!!

This is not my best post... that is still to come!

Okay, here goes my first attempt to post something here. This was something I wrote a while ago.

This is where the original resides.

EEH GAWWD, ANOTHER BABY, DID YOU SAY??

What is it about Indians and babies? Five month into his marriage, a friend (if I can call him that) informs me his wife is in production mode (oh, my, GOD), being four months pregnant. Is it any wonder that India is closing the gap (very rapidly) and overtaking China as the world’s most populous country.

The reasons that I hear are many: We’ve been married for a while now (‘while’ being 5 months), wifey is getting old (where ‘old’ means 26) and the even more bizzarre relative factor (my relatives said it’s time). Hey, I want to ask, are you relatives going to look after the baby and change its diapers and put baby through college and university, or are you?

It’s amazing how couples, even one year into their marriage are pressurised to get into baby production (so what if they are not ready, their relatives are). This, sadly, when they just started getting to know each other. I feel it’s quite a pity that people think 30 is too old and that they should have kids because someone else feels it's time. Whatever happened to choice and the freedom to control one’s life?

So, anyway, as the story goes another friend of mine is also pregnant. And another one is trying. But I think, Indians are really a babe-crazed lot on the whole and to redeem yourself in the eyes of society, and prove that you have a real marriage, you need to have proof that you are capable of producing – BABIES!

I still find it considerably amusing when people offer their opinions that range from “You are getting old, your body won’t take it” to “Everyone else has had babies”.

It's not that I don’t possess maternal instincts (you should see me with my cat :-), but hey, give me a break. If you really want to have a baby, go ahead, and at least do it for the right reasons. As for me, if I hear the BABY word again in the next couple of days, I will scream!

Just A Little Something

An experiment in web living.

Please join me and my absolutely sensational cat for lunch sometime soon. We have a separate buffet area for vegetarians.

Anand says I have something like 'Click here to find out how you can win a TOTALLY FREE lunch' and even get to take home one of my cat's offsprings 'ABSOLUTELY FREE', I will definitely get more click throughs.

So what are you still doing here, may I ask?

I have a blog. I have a few friends. Yes, in real life. And some online too. I like writing. Mostly for the satisfaction it gives me, not for others.

When I grow up, I want to be... a very wealthy person with a lot of cats and a jet plane for my personal assistant and a beach house for my parents. And a library for myself.

See, I always think about others before myself.

I work for a living. Someday, I would like to make my work a hobby.

I also want to be wise, generous and an inspiration for others.

I believe that there is nothing that one cannot do if the will is great enough, that everything starts with a dream and that everything you do in life, will come back to you one day.

Yes, YOU are IRRESISTABLE, sign me up!

Can I have the dessert too??
