God named Reynold

Wondering about the blog title. Even I was wondered when I heard about him. On may 18, I have become a proud father of a baby boy. So me and my wife were searching good names for our son. Our criteria was to get a name bit stylish, short and meaningful. So we had some names already on the list.

But somebody told me or as all people goes after numerology, I too decided, "Ok. Let me try". So I asked my wife to get a name consulting the astrologer. She came to know that her sister's friend is getting married to an astrologer and she contacted him.
After going through my sons rough horoscope and applying numerology, he suggested that he should bear the name of a god and gave his list of suggestion. I was going through the list.
  1. Gaurav
  2. Sree Badran
  3. Shiv
  4. Reynolds
  5. Aanjaneya


Wait a second!!! Did I see a name called "Reynolds". I was totally embarrassed and asked my wife "Which is this God?". She also got confused and called the astrologer back. The response was, "As you said, I found some name according to numerology". "Ohhh... Ok." I said.

When I was back in office, I asked my colleagues, have you ever heard of a god "Reynolds" and explained the story. But strange, I got a reply. Do you know who is that? My friend said, It is Lord Sri Rama. He is a complete man and "Reynold suiting" advertisement says the Completed Man. So he pinned down Reynolds is the other name of Lord Sri Rama (Joke). But to my surprise, the motto belonged to Reymond Suiting, not Reynolds.

Why Moral Policing?


Two days back I read in News Paper that a few people threatened a girl for sitting in a guys lap. They warned her in the name of moral policing. I was thinking why moral policing and what is that? I feel moral policing is not something that started a few days back or few months back. Its been here for centuries. Moral policing is a new era coined term for controling peoples life in the name of religion or culture.



Way back to Jesus era, we know Mary Magdalene who was rescued by Jesus from the mob. Did he rescue her from a moral policing? There was time in European countries, they burnt women alive saying they were witches. Again its moral policing. In India recently few people beat women for indecent dressing. But these so called protectors forgot, in British regime only our women started to cover their chest.


Time keep on changing and so everything but not the views of these brats. How these so called protectors of religion or culture going offend these changes? We are wrong here. Certainly their views / strategies are changed. Now they are all doing all these stupid stunts aiming the votes of larger Hindu community and not to defend the culture.

Hangover

Well last week I saw the film "Hangover". It was amazing and sometimes I felt its not reel life, but real life. As of my last blog, it was quite familiar in my life.

I recommended the film to my friend circle. Every time when we have booze, we used to vow "This is our last", but unfortunately that last never come and we are still waiting...

Anyway I would recommend "Hangover" to all the comedy loving persons and to all who drinks. Its a page from your life or something you might have experienced one time. A total blank out.

Having a heavy drink and in the morning wake up from a coma thinking what happened last night. Did i take food? Or sometime you will be embarrassed when you hear your friends say "Dude what you did yesterday.. bla bla bla" or shows you the photos they have taken (when I was bachelor I was so afraid of this).

Back again

Almost after one and half years, I am back to my old blog and that too with a bang. I have started a new blog only for technical discussions which you can find here.
