Harry Potter's INDIAN connection..????

Its been raining cats and dogs in Delhi for the last two days and well the drop in the temperature has not just brought some relief to the weather but has also brought some smile on my face. I really don't know what is it that I am upbeat about but I guess its just one of those days when you feel positive and glad to be where you are and what you are doing.
I am not a really a bookworm but somehow I managed to gather courage to read the first book of the Harry Potter series (the truth is that I really never understood the movie and was feeling sort of ashamed that I wasn't able to follow something which kids one fourth my age really are going ga-ga about! And so it was high time I matched up to them!! ). I have just gone through the first few chapters of it and I must say that the author has some really wild and interesting imagination.... but I don't know how many have found some similarity between the events in the life of Harry Potter and our own Lord Krishna.
The fact that,this boy was hated by a powerful and evil guy and inspite of his attempts to kill baby Harry, the baby survives and is left at the doorstep where he can be taken care of, is very close to what the mythologies describe about the life of Krishna. I don't know if that was in anyway an inspiration for J.K.Rowling but definitely the popularity of the book and the movie shows that possibly Krishna lives in the imagination of not just Indians but also the other races and it is a character which all love to believe and identify with!

Hi I am back!

Hello! I am back after a long break and its been a tremendous change not just in terms of the place but also the lifestyle, work and rather every aspect of my life. I guess thats the way life is in a big city.... specially when you are in the capital of the country. Gone are the days when I used to wake up and lazily carry the paper in my lap and go through the headlines bothering least about what my next activity should be. Now the alarm is almost like a war cry for me to get ready for the fight called LIFE . And after seeing the regularity with which the terror has creeped into our lives, I guess no one is really very confident of what he or she is going to encounter on leaving the doorstep. And after the blasts that rocked this city once again, despite all the odds that we may come across in our lives at various points in time, we all need to just thank that WE ARE ALIVE and well at the end of the day ..............and maybe thats the only sign that we have probably done some good act during that day for which we have been saved and survived another day in this BIG BAD WORLD!
