The Bombay canteen, after being rejected twice for no space over the last month, this Saturday we decided to just land up without booking a table hoping to get a place. Right from the time we entered, our childhood memories were revived, from the”kismi” chocolate, which this generation has no clue about to the roohafza bottles used for water, the ambience was a little posh, the twist in food with meethi thepla’s used for tacos to the twist in Rasagulla with coffee, made me feel first that this would be the case if i was visiting somebody, who’s way of living would make we wonder and point out at how cheap the bottles were, or that they are still learning to cook and want to be part of the society hence trying to impress us with these tacos .
The bold choices can only be tried at hotels and restaurant because we are courageous and want to try something new when we visit a new place, but if we were suggested to experiment at home we would use terms like are you Crazy ?
Bombay canteen this Saturday had the ambience too set like a old canteen with music from the 80s playing and everything else was also interesting the Hinglish names on the menu ,the twist the taste and the setting .

Dil Dhadakne do ..
The introduction of the characters and the Mehra family was done very well .The Mehra family being very wealthy and part of a high society , showed how the thought process and mindset of these people are ,as they are more worried about what others would think rather than actually knowing whether they are happy or not with their decisions ,also we all have choices but what’s the point if we can’t choose them ,the misunderstanding between family’s ,the business proposition “deals ” the conditional love that bring family together and how emotions always bind the family together .The thinking of how women are treated ,and how men are treated differently from them .There were quite a few dialogues supporting this argument .How behaviour occasionally shows that we are being disrespectful when we are just telling the truth .The characterisation of every character done so well that you could recognise each of them and relate to somebody you might have come across .
The film too spoke about that not everybody is blind just connecting the dots would get to the result of why ?
The film had good music by Shankar eshaan Loy ,who I believe has been a part of ZMND (zindagi na milagi dobara )
The star cast the actors right from Anil kapoor to Farhan akthar have done a fabulous job especially Ranveer singh with his expression and timing .
Priyanka Chopra performance was very realistic .
The small details of not mentioning daughter name after she is married
And the thought of why it wasn’t done showed how we humans think .
The ending showed no matter how successful ,wealthy you are if you aren’t happy amongst each other it doesn’t matter .
The dialogue “I don’t remember when we spent together as a family last “when they are in the life boat showed the culture of Indian family’s who are so family oriented .

Friendship !!
Making a friend ,these days has become easier than ever before, and boasting of having X number of friends on a particular social networking site or on some photo sharing app and many other places has made it clear that we have quite a large number of friends wherever we go .
Some of us are so friendly that we can just make friends every second… while travelling ,on the job and just a place where we visit frequently But have we every given a though to maintaining friendship? ..in the true “sense of friendship ” has there been anyone who you must be friends with but find it taxing to keep your friendship and you’d rather keep in touch with them whenever you have a ” job needed to be done “and even if you have to do it or done it in the past don’t you find it challenging to maintain this friendship and do we as people seriously maintain our childhood friendships,school friends or college friends because we want to be with them or we have to do it because they have been part of us while we were growing up ?
Can we ever maintain friendship with the friends we made ?
Can friendship with a friend who we meet after years , start from the same point and can everything still remain the same after the gap ?
Is making new friends the way of showing off how popular we are amongst the group ?or is it a way to avoid maintaining friendship with the old ones by making them jealous of your social circle .
Is making new friends more important than maintaining your friendship ties ?

Sibling rivalry or love ?
Today I just came across an interesting thought while sipping my coffee ,and overheard two people speak about…. How having a sibling (sister) can make any difference when it comes to behaving in front of a girl.,it’s a little difficult for me to write this because I have a sibling (sister) and don’t know how living without one would be like, but all I can say it’s a little easy to understand the other girls because I live with my sister ,I know you would say nobody can understand a girl but you can surely understand them a little better, about their
emotional needs and what they might like or dislike ,when is it a good time to speak to them and when to leave them ,it take years but I have grown up with my sister and her friends so I can understand what it might be like to be a guy with a sibling and understand the other girls .also a sibling (sister ) can give you a foundation of how to behave in front of girls
Imagine not having a sister just makes me wonder that I might just be a little more shy than I am now ,a little less confident and nervous when taking to girls

Child Abuse is killing our children
Child abuse is a very broad term that is categorized into a few segments with physical, emotional and psychological trauma. It seems to be commonly associated within countries in Asia and even more in India, but why is child abuse like an epidemic in this world. Why are we people muted about abusing children? Will we see emotional abuse only a sign of growing up or are we really ever willing to give some time to the children to really understand them, to help them get out of this pain that can follow them through their entire life. Do we see the act of bulling a way of life in schools? Are we not are of the extent of harm that is caused by children who emotionally and physical abuse their fellowmates. They are doing in under the influence of their environment and the influences of society and media. But why should other children become the victims of their negative influences. As citizens, parents, brothers and sisters, why are we so ignorant about the abuse faced by children while they are growing up? Did we go through it that we also want are children to go through it? Are we taking it for granted that child abuse is way of life? Are we so uneducated or rather uncivilized? Is child abuse somewhere down responsible for a child being differentiated from being an extrovert to an introvert? Can child abuse affect the level of confidence in his or her professional life? Can Child abuse be a reason for broken love affairs or marriages with dysfunctional relationships?
Child abuse can effect a person life so much that it can virtual kill its inner self and overcoming can take a complete lifetime because past isn’t forgotten easily… it leaves its deep imprints! So lets not take our children for granted… lets not take our own selves for granted. What we speak of today will instill confidence in our own selves and in our family and in the society by and large. If you disagree to anything I say then simply go down you memory lane!
To find more insights into the pain and torment that children are going in the heart of our very nation- INDIA… as we read this…Read the novel Tiger Mates by the screenwriter of Don 2 and find out some answers… some jewels of knowledge and purpose that is hidden inside you…
