FROM THE FOCUS OF VAIJAYANTA

Utsa, Bengal Ambuja, New Town, Rajarhat, Kolkata

I had been thinking of creating a photo blog for quite sometime now and at last it has been possible. I had seen many photo blogs of many people and was really interested in the concept of photo blogging.

So http://www.flickr.com/photos/vaijayanta/ is my new photo blog which will have pictures of wide varieties. It will have pictures ranging from a little pebble to the largest of planets of the universe but one thing is for sure. All the pictures will be mine i.e. I will be the photographer for all these photos. Yes, photography is one of my passion other than singing, reading, and so on.

So my dear readers of my blog / domain, you can view my picture blog on this site and it will be updated more frequently than I update this blog of mine. Yes it is true.

Wardrobe Malfunction in my own way

Wardrobe Malfunction is so very common with personalities like, Debbie / Debby, Carol Gracias, Gauhar Khan, Lindsay Lohan, Janet Jackson (thanks a lot TOI for providing a person like me who suffers from deficiency in General Knowledge, with so many names).

I am too keeping ahead with the times nowadays and have started creating waves at my home for going at par with people who are known by all. (like Carol Gracias) I say so because I too did suffer a big wardrobe malfunction. (look, look how I am keeping ahead with the times) My wardrobe is filled with all the old clothes (I used to wear them as a teenager when I was about 15 or 16 years old) as well as new clothes. (the ones which I received from my uncle Bunu-mama during Durga Puja 2007 and the ones the I bought during the Pujas) So there is a massive shortage of space in my wardrobe and it is malfunction-ing at present. The doors of my wardrobe are not in a state of being fully closed (malfunctioning) , in the manner they should close when the wardrobe is empty. So personally I feel that I am sufferering from an acute wardrobe malfunction that cannot be cured (no not like the models who solve it by wearing nipple tapes or by cutting the lights) unless I get my old clothes removed from the wardrobe.

So what do you say about my customization of the 2 famous words called Wardrobe Malfunction? (I know many people who will arrive at my blog throught google search, will curse me for not posting pictures of the actual wardrobe malfunction and distorting the concept) Any comments? He! He! (aur picture dhoondo, dude, lagta hain, tum dhoondte reh jaoge !!!)

Arunachal Pradesh - A Kashmir in Making

Dear Friends,

Read this article on Rediff.com and think what India is doing to retain Arunachal Pradesh under her control and put pressure on the Chinese to make this portion of our country stay within our country.

1) http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/mar/04inter1.htm

Till date we can see that Indian soil that had been occupied by the neighbours have been named by India as: -
1) Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) about 40% of J & K.
2) China occupied Kashmir (CoK or Akshai-Chin) about 30% of J & K.
3) China occupied Arunachal Pradesh (CoAP) about 70 % od Arunachal Pradesh.

If we do not spell out our clear cut definition and policy, we will continue to have the following by 2050: -
1) Bangladesh occupied Bengal & Orissa (BoBO)
2) Sri Lanka occupied Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh (SoTKKA)
3) Nepal occupied Bihar, Uttar Pradesh & Madhya Pradesh (NoBUPMP)
4) Myanmar occupied Tripura, Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya (all the North East States) (MoNES)
5) Malaysia occupied Andaman and Nicobar Islands (MoANI)
6) Maldives occupied Lakshwadeep Islands (MoLA)
7) Pakistan occupied Maharashtra, Rajasthan. Punjab, Haryana (PoMRPH)

What next???? All have gone to our neighbours. Only Delhi remains. Delhi becomes an independent country and is renamed as India. (Little India (LI) or Delhi leftover in India (DLI))

Kalidasa - A True Story

Kalidasa

"raamaabhishheke jalamaaharantyaa

Hhastaachchyuto hemaghaTo yuvatyaaH

sopaana maargeNa karoti shabdaM

ThaaThaM ThaThaM ThaM ThaThaThaM Tha ThaM ThaaH ..."

Once King Bhoj lying on his bed saw a young beautiful girl on her way to fetch water. But as she reached the stairway she stumbled and dropped the vessel. The King listened to the noise made by the vessel and it gave him an idea. The next day he called his courtiers and gave the puzzle to solve ``ThaaThaM ThaThaM ThaM ThaThaThaM Tha ThaM Thaa.h'' .


None was able to solve it. Kalidas, when asked, demanded two days of time or the solution. He observed Bhoj's daily schedule minutely for those two days. The observation provided him the insight into the solution and he gave the above mentioned answer. The meaning is quite straightforward.
