The Friday Talk
Almost every Friday, we three i.e. Ami, Lavs and myself picks a random topic and we girls drill our brains and put our thoughts and opinions about it. Mostly leads to a debate but healthy one , as we all three are strong headed in our own opinions (possibly i would be the one who get convinced easily among the three :)). A pre-warning to the readers .... that don't beat up your heads and think much about what i have written ... but just enjoy the conversation if you can ;)
Just the above week, we saw a movie called "Milk" which speaks about the Gay relationships and their struggle for Rights. Personally i was really impressed by the movie and the way it was portraited. So we took the topic about Gays and their Rights.
Now each one got completely different views about it. Lavs was completely against it , Ami was neutral and i was supporting it.
We have touched almost all possible views in the world of why one would get the feeling of being a Gay or Lesbian . I was strongly holding a point as it is a human feeling. And being a science student, i put a point in front, that human feelings are aroused by the chemicals released in ones body and its completely natural. But Lavs too got a strong point as she said, as we are humans... we also got the ability to control the feelings and emotions. And then the big thinking brain i.e, Ami popped up with a statement that how can hen produce eggs without a cock. I know ... i can see a smile and eyebrows up on your face after reading things but ..... it might sound weird for you all but thats a really strong point. And we all were silent for a moment. :| And then we went back to some thousands years back where possibly it might happen that first homosexuality was been practiced and then our ancestors might found that heterosexuality would help in making and creating an all new life. So and then heterosexuality is been practiced and later and made legal. This discussion continued convincing each other and we concluded that in future, as to control the population... homosexuality might get encouraged and practiced. Who knows. But we all ended up saying that everything happens for a reason and Nature keeps everything balanced.

Have a Nice Journey
I was in Hyderabad for a small vacation and leaving to Pune by Hyd-Mumbai Express. Well, the day was already bad for me as i was leaving my home ... some nth time for my job. As usual the ticket didn't got confirmed and was in the waiting list. So we dropped a special request letter (so called MLA letter) to make it confirmed.
My dad accompanied me to give a send off that nite. The train was at 8:40 pm and it was already 8:30 pm. The reservation list was not yet out, so me and my dad continuously calling the railway inquiry holding the ticket to get my seat and compartment no. Finally we got the details and hurried to find the compartment to settle down. With a heavy heart, said bye to my dad and asked him to leave.
I got settled in my seat and busy observing other co-passengers. After an hour or so .... i thought of keeping my ticket in the first zip of my bag which i usually do. My bag already stuffed with some thousands of papers in it and other stuff. I first peaked my wallet for the ticket and couldn't found. Thought i must have kept in the bag, i dig my bag removing all my stuff. By the time i was already in sweat ...and that too in an AC comp. Damn ... its not happening to me.... no ... no god,.... and finally i ended up with the conclusion that i don't have my ticket with me. I immediately called my dad and asked to check whether he got the ticket or not. It was safe in his pocket.
Mean while, my co passengers got to know about it and were trying to give sympathy and providing me with unwanted suggestions.
Cursing my fate, took few suggestions from my dad to convince the TC and provide him a reason. The worse scenario was to pay the ticket price again. So i immediately checked my two wallets and a purse whether i was safe or not. And thank god for it as i ended up at the margin. I had exactly 700 bugs with me. Finally TT came and gave me a fine receipt and said 'Have a Nice Journey'. And i ended up traveling with a ticket costing twice the price of it.
