Hi All! It’s sweet November and winter is knocking on the
door. But it was this October that had
been sweeter for me. I am finally back writing for KHOJ after almost a
month…and what a month it was. My last post was the anniversary post where I
poured in the ideas that covered a year of KHOJ [Click here]. The very next day our little angel Hridhima came and
changed our lives forever. I took three weeks off to be with her. In between,
while she slept, I came up with Evolving Daddy. But
all the while I ignored KHOJ. It was YOU readers who kept it alive. For that I owe you all a BIG gratitude! I would also like to thank a few special bloggers here.
First of all I would like to THANK
all those who wrote guest posts for KHOJ:
The first guest post in KHOJ was written by Chintan, author of a Blunt Blog. So
if you don’t mind NUDITY then go and check her post HERE!
The next post was by Somyanshu. Check
out his philosophy of life - LIFE IS
LIKE A TREE. IDENTIFY AND NURTURE THE STEM AND THE BRANCHES WILL TAKE CARE OF
THEMSELVES – in this link! So…now what?
What about some poetry and magic?
That’s what you will find HERE in the post by Aakriti. She
is a Psychology student who can read your post and know what’s in your mind. So
be careful! (And she isn't scary :p...i said it this b'coz she she realized something just by reading my posts :p)
Next is the post by Vijay. HERE he is! Check his POST where he unravels the dark side of life in IIT.
[While most of it is true, I don’t think IIT is
only about studying. It’s also about GPL, about falling in LOVE and broken
hearts (girls have advantage here because of sheer numbers; sometimes small is
wonderful, small is a revolution), booze on the hostel
roof, ganja with Pink Floyd, partying with friends, night outs with
girlfriend(s), rain-trek in the mountains, evening by the lake…..and…..loads of
porn. Sometimes,
life just can’t get better…or happier!]
And happiness is exactly what Anu gave to Khoj. Even
though she is very young, you will find a mature head when you read her posts here. She thinks if you want to be happy just live the moment!
For long I have wished to write something on happiness. I hope, inspired by
Anu, I will come up with one soon.
For now, it is Neeraj’s wish, inspired by little Sudeethi. Her eyes are lovely and
innocent. Check out his lovely poem here. Do take the loving journey of probing life.
It is that journey that Saru will take you through in her Guest Post in Khoj. She has mesmerized the world through her words. In
case there is a very faint probability that you haven’t been to her blog, you
are missing something.
You are also missing something if you haven’t read Janhvi’s take
on INCEST. It is a post that is going to make you think, it is a post
that is going to challenge the stereotypes… that is Janhvi…for more such Thoughtful Thoughts Click Here. I totally agree with Janhvi’s thoughts, because I believe we are all product of
incest!
[Our blood line isn’t pure, and it takes simple maths to prove it. Consider
you have a pure bloodline. Let’s say you were born in 1986. On 1985 your
existence depended on your parents having sex at that precise time, and amongst
the millions of sperm it was you who made it.
That’s why I believe no one is a born looser; you were born
because you were a winner! Go back
another generation (consider an average generation gap of 25 years) and your
existence depended on your parents (2) and their parents (4) coupling at the
right time. That makes it 6 people of pure blood line, or so you think. Go back
13 generations to the time when British landed in India. Your existence
depended on coupling of around 8200 people. By the time Babar landed in India it
would raise to 131,000people. During our Golden Era it would already be
1,152,921,504,606,850,000! Going back 86 generations to the time of Buddha it
would be 77,371,252,455,336,300,000,000,000! That many human beings never
roamed the earth (this website estimate 108 billion only). You would not
exist without a bit, rather a lot, of incest! ]
Please don’t commit suicide after hearing that! Hold on
because here is Prateek and his SUICIDE. He wonders why people commit suicide, I wonder too. Go
visit Prateek’s unwise blog for some satires
and random observations…entertainment guaranteed.
[I guess it is part to do with our faulty society
which puts too much pressure on people to succeed, partly because people do not
have the guts to face life….and there are some, like Chanakya, who had enough
courage to commit it (iccha mrityu). ]
There is another good reason not to commit suicide, because LIFE IS GOOD! That’s what Anand and his Musings have for you. Go visit
his blog here and life will be good.
[Money is not bad; it’s just a piece of paper.
It’s how it is used that is good or bad. People want money to be happy, so
definitely happiness is the priority here. So money shouldn’t come at the cost
of happiness. Probably that’s what we forget sometimes.]
For all you angels who
wrote guest post in KHOJ I have a little surprise at the end.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all
those bloggers who liked Khoj and showered it with awards. These thanks were
pending for a long time. Check out my page ACCOLADES!
A BIG THANKS to Madhumathi, Janhvi, Sujatha, Ege, Chintan, Bloggers World, Namrata, Stuti, Ashwini & Aakriti. The surprise is for all
you angels too.

ReplyDeleteWell a small correction. The post never said anything about life in an IIT, infact I have often heard it is case as you have mentioned. But it was about the life at one of those coaching centers where people end up going in the name of preparation for the IIT's.
ReplyDeleteOK....corrected :)
