NOTE: Please read Part I posted below before reading the following.
What we have established till now is that Sita, the daughter of Ravana is growing up in India as Janak King's daughter. Now, the rest of the events that unfold need to be looked with the above fact in mind. While Sita grew up in Janakpuri, astrologers in Lanka told Ravana that her daughter still lives and she lives as Sita. Ravana was happy to hear this. When Sita's beauty became wide spread and the famous competition of strength (as to who can break the massive bow) came to Ravana's ears, Ravana didn't let go of this chance. He fled to Janak City right away in quest of laying his eyes again on his lost-daughter. When He saw the competition that lay ahead, He thought that there is no one who can beat him at his strength. Ravana was a very PROUD Man. He decided to test the Bow with his own strength to see if his daughter gets a worthy partner for life! When Ravana saw that Rama bent the bow, He was happy and genuinely wished them both a good married life. He came back to his Kingdom a happy father.
But Alas, as destiny would have it the news of Rama being banished from his kingdom for 14 yrs in a forest devastated his peace of mind. Ravana was extremely unhappy about the fact that Rama did not become the successor to the throne of Dasharatha and thereby his daughter didn't become a queen. He was troubled with worry to find out how his daughter will manage in the meager benefits of a forest. Looking at his devastated state, Shoorpanaka his sister volunteered to go and see with her own eyes if her niece Sita is being kept well by Rama. Shoorpanaka sees Rama with Sita and Lakshamana. She sees how handsome Rama is and wonders if he is really as true to his character as a dutiful husband should be? Is he really a righteous husband to her beloved niece? So, Shoorpanaka came to Rama and made lustful moves at him for which Rama did not even get tempted one bit, but Lakshmana's anger was something she wasnt aware of.. which resulted in Lakshamana cutting off her nose. This hostility angered Shoorpanaka and she ended up giving a bad review about Rama and Lakshmana to Ravanan in Lanka. Ravanan was now angered and decided that he will save his daughter from such ill-tempered boys. He decided to bring her back to Lanka. But, Ravana knew that he can't touch any woman without her consent. Therefore,He sent his Uncle who was a magician(MAYAVI) to distract Rama. But, the Lakshman's rekha had to be surpassed. Ravanan took the form of Rishi so that Sita can come with her own will to Ravanan. This is what happened and led to the abduction of Sita.
Although epic critics have for long seen this act of abduction as Ravana wanting to covet another man's wife, the truth is that Ravana wanted to bring his daughter to safety. If Ravanan wanted to achieve his lustful ways with Sita, he could have tortured her until she agreed. But no epic shows any evidence of Ravanan being cruel to his daughter at any point. It was Sita, who didn't know the entire truth about her past, who was feeling bad and accused Ravanan of keeping her away from her husband Rama. But, Hanuman came to Lanka and set it on fire with his tail. This created havoc in his kingdom resulting to loss and devastation of innocent subjects' property. What King in his right mind will not care about the injustice done to his kingdom? What King will forget his duties as the protector? Certainly Ravanan didnt and wouldn't. He decided that Rama and his army would have to pay for this and that is why Ravana went for war against Rama, even though Rama was his own Son-In-Law!
No one can escape from his destiny. Rama became the Hero of the epic and therefore Good was won over Evil. But, it was meant to win because Every single Incarnation of Vishnu holds this as the main truth! But, Did u know that Ravana and his brother Kumbhakarna were Cursedd to this? Yes, Ravanan and his brother Kumbhakarnan are two Asuras who guard the gates of "VAIKUNTA" (the heavenly abode where Lord Vishnu Lives). When a Sage came and wanted to meet Lord Vishnu both the Asuras denied entrance because their Lord was resting at that time. The Sage's anger erupted and he cursed the two Asuras to be finding their death in the hands of their Lord in every single incarnation of Vishnu. In Ramayan, Kumbhakarna and Ravana both find their demise in hands of Lord Rama. In Krishna Avatar, Lord Kamsa and his brother also find their demise in hands of Lord Krishna. Now, these Asuras are not entirely bad because if you come to think of it they have the noble role of bringing glory to their Lord in every avatar of Lord Vishnu.
This explaination of Ramayan and the importance of Ravanan is referred to as "MAYIL RAVANAN". Ravanan who lived somewhere in Lanka didn't have to bother with some girl called Sita, didn't have to abduct her when he had a beautiful wife at home. Ravana was a devoted father and was a great King. But, alas.. he was too proud of himself and he tried to escape from the grasp of Karma. Thus, our Indian ideology is proven yet right again that Karma is what determines what happens and what will happen eventually.

Mayil Ravanan - part I
Kid: Amma, what is that God's name?
Mother: That is Lord RAMA. And beside him is his brother Lakshmana and wife Sita.
Kid: Mamma.. who is Rama?
Mother: Rama was a great King. He is incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He came on this earth as son of Dasharatha and married Goddess Lakshmi who is Sita. When Sita was abducted by this Evil 10-headed Demon called Ravana, Lord Rama took his army of Monkeys with aid of his loyal servant Hanuman and set Lanka on fire and got Sita back.
............
This is what the Valmiki Ramayan is all about. Our elders and teachers in school have taught us Ramayan as this epic where again according to Hindu Ideology Good wins over Evil. Oh.. and the Evil here is Ravana. Now, instead of focusing entirely on the Hero and Heroine (as is usually the case) I want you all to zoom into this really interesting character called RAVANAN. Who is He? What is his role in Ramayan? Why is he so evil when he has a flourishing Kingdom? Why did he make many dumb moves such as abducting Sita even after knowing she was married? Please read on and all your questions will be answered one by one.
Ravana is a prosperous King of a kingdom called Sri Lanka. He is a very strong SHIVA BHAKTA. Ravana has done many tapasyas and won Boons from Lord Shiva which has made him as one Invincible King. Ravana is a very well-talented musician. Ravana has a WIFE..Yes.. a Wife who is a very nice and loving Queen. Ravana had brothers and sister including VIBHEESHAN (who is a good guy essentialy as he helped Rama in the end) and KUMBHAKARNA (the very famous Sleeping Giant who gets slayed by Rama) And last but not least the ugly sinful woman called SHOORPANAKA who got her nose cut off when she tried to come near Rama. So.. what's missing in this picture? Where is the 10 headed Demon who created problems in Ramayan? Does he have ten-heads??? really??? Dont you think the subjects of Sri Lanka would have banished him for being a weird king?
Haha, This whole scenario is funny because the Truth is not what you see but it is the way you perceive it. Ravana is just another powerful King like many others. Ravana doesnt have 10 heads.. but he has ten 'goon' (qualities) that is portrayed as 10 heads in all comics. Ravana was a righteous King and ruled his subjects well. But, alas.. Karma is what destroyed him. Ravana did a mistake in his rein. He once playfully made lustful moves on a female-Rishi called VEDAVATI (who is rishi born out of Vedas). Vedavati was devoted to Vishnu and accepted him as the husband in her mind.. but Ravana tried to force her into marrying Him and he pulled her hair. Vedavati cut her hairr and looked at him with anguish and said... "You have touched a woman without her acceptance and therefore I Curse You that if you ever touch a woman without her will your head will blow to pieces. Because you have tested my purity today I am going to burn myself and I will return back to kill you. You will be destroyed because of ME!" So she said and burnt herself alive chanting "Om Nama shivaaya".
Long forgotten Ravana married and lived happily with his Queen who bore him a GIRL child. When Astrologerss came to look at the horoscope and tell the destiny of the child they said.."Ravana, this child of yours if you proclaim her as your daughter then she will destroy you. She is born here to vanquish you and your kingdom" Ravana was aghastt.. and didnt know what to do. His wife laid asleep after her child-birth and Ravana and his brothers and sister decided to hide this fact and cast-away the girl child in a river. They told Ravana's wife that her daughter died. In some Kingdom in India, Janak King found a small casket with a beautiful little girl child in a river. He takes the girl and calls her SITA and brings her up as his own daughter.
What have we established till now? Sita is Ravana's own daughter! Please read on the part II for the continuation.

Oh da anguish, in ur eyes shut

For the last time, im goinna hav to roll
Scrollin up and readin all tat, i gotta say,

Excellent Short Story
A husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf.Of course, the wife promptly hacked her first shot right through the window of the biggest house adjacent to the course.The husband cringed, "I warned you to be careful! Now we'll have to go up there, find the owner, apologize and see how much yourlousy drive is going to cost us."So the couple walked up to the house andknocked on the door.
A warm voice said, "Come on in." When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: glass was all over the place, and abroken antique bottle was lying on its side near the brokenwindow.A man reclining on the couch asked, "Are you the people that broke my window?""Uh...yeah, sir. We're sure sorry about that," thehusband replied."Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thankyou. You see,I'm a genie, and I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years.Now that you've released me, I'm allowed to grantthree wishes. I'll Give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I'llkeep the last one for myself."
"Wow, that's great!" the husband said. He pondered a moment and blurted out,"I'd like a million dollars a year for! the rest of mylife."
"No problem," said the genie. "You've got it, it's the least I can do. And I'll guarantee you a long, healthy life!"
"And now you, young lady, what do you want?" the genieasked. "I'd like to own a gorgeous home complete with servantsin every country in the world," she said. "Consider it done," the genie said. "And your homes will always be safe from fire,burglary and natural disasters!"
"And now," the couple asked in unison, "what's yourwish, genie?"
" Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle andhaven't been with a woman in more than a thousand years,my wish is to sleep with your wife.
"The husband looked at his wife and said, "Gee, honey, you know we both now have a fortune, and all those houses. What do you think?"
She mul! led it over for a few moments and said, "Youknow, you're right. Considering our good fortune, I guess Iwouldn't mind, but what about you, honey?"
"You know I love you sweetheart," said the husband."I'd do the same for you!"
So the genie and thewoman went upstairswhere they spent the rest of the afternoon enjoyingeach other. The genie was insatiable. After about three hours of non-stop fun,the genie rolled over and looked directly intoher eyes and asked, "How old are you and yourhusband?"
"Why, we're both 35," she responded breathlessly.
"Really?! Thirty-five years old and both of you still believe in genies?"

James Bond in Trouble!
James Bond needed help with a problem, so he walked over to the bar and instead of his usual Martini, he requested a glass of water. The barman pulls a gun and points it right at James who smiles, thanks the barman and walks out. What do you suppose was 007’s problem?

Success
We have quite often come across books and articles such as "10 steps to success" or " Top 10 secrets of a successful Person" etc. Organizational behavior is very vital for the success of an organization as a whole and an individual who is a part of it. An organization is a place where different personalities come together and work towards a common goal. Of course, I am limiting my definitions for the cause of this article. It is very interesting to see the network of people you come across while working. No matter how well-learned you are in the ways of the people, you always come across someone who throws in a different perspective of your knowledge about individuals.
The most important aspect of an individual is his 'perception'. Everyone has it, use it, change it and challenge others with their own. Stereotyping is perception at its worst. It is when individuality is stripped off from influencing your perception about someone. It can have its consequences if you are not too careful about it. But, where do stereotypes emerge from? They emerge from the general observation hypothesized in a sample of people from a certain race, country, ethnicity, gender etc. Stereotyping need not necessarily be bad. For example, Chinese are Intelligent/ geniuses at math. I don't think any Chinese is going to take offense with it. But, what I want to do is challenge the very traits that are highly talked about and admired often.
Let me start with a basic question. Do you like good-looking people or not? Invariably, most of us will answer Yes. Media showcases good-looking people as the best form of 'attraction'. But, let us bring this quality into observation in a more personal environment, like lets say your team members. You are part of a team where you have an extremely good looking male or female who wears the latest trendy clothes and is always lookin their best. What is your first assumption about their working ability? I presume negative. You perceive that a certain good-looking person is good at only that.. looks, and nothing else. After a few weeks you start to cut-down on this perception as you see that person work. But, still.. if at any instance..you see the person slacking from their responsibilities, what do you blame it on? Good looks. The point I am trying to draw here is that Good Looks need not be a good-asset all the time. It can create insecurity, distrust and over-expectations around one which can often prove to work against that person!
Another question: Do you like extroverts or introverts? An extrovert is one who is out-going social and talking and the "life of the party" type. While an introvert is more to himself, less social and almost going 'unnoticed' in a party. At a glance, we all would prefer to be extroverts as it is portrayed to be the "self-confident & interesting" personality that is usually ' liked ' by all. Extroverts are usually the people who have many friends and are constantly in the company of someone. It is what creates the 'popular' group in a given social setup. We all at some point come across a certain popular group in our respective social set ups (office, school, class.. etc). It is definitely an admirable trait, no doubt. But, let us again bring it down to a more personal level. Do you really want to always be around a person who is always talking.. always the center of attention and is constantly over-taking you with their pompous way? Think about it. Every kind of personality speaks for itself. We forget that Introverts have the basic ability of "listening". We all want our perceptions to be heard and listened to. Perhaps being around an Extrovert isnt going to do your personality much good. You have to build your personality and individuality. Who said Introverts do not create a mark on you? They do.. with their non-verbal actions. A look can speak billion words. A statement from such a person is usually highly regarded! Research says " Successful people don't have to be "the life of the party", in fact many are quiet, even shy, but they value people and they value relationships. They listen to friends, neighbors, co-workers and even bartenders."
For now, the conclusion that I have come to is that success is not about popularity, but it is about individuality. It is highly important to retain your individuality. It is the stepping stone for success and will always be. This brings us to a very vital question. Can success be generalized or not? Hmm..

"It depends," I replied. "What does it say on your shirt?" He yelled
back, "University of Oklahoma ."
And they say blondes are dumb...
--------------------------X----------------------------------
"It's just too hot to wear clothes today," Jack says as he stepped out of >the shower, "honey, what do you think the neighbors would think if I mowed >the lawn like this?"
"Probably that I married you for your money," she replied.
--------------------------X----------------------------------
A man and his wife, now in their 60's, were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. On their special day a good fairy came to them and said that because they had been so good that each one of them could have one wish.
The wife wished for a trip around the world with her husband.
Whoosh! Immediately she had airline/cruise tickets in her hands.
The man wished for a female companion 30 years younger...
Whoosh...immediately he turned ninety!!! Gotta love that fairy!
------------------------X-------------------------------------
Questin and Answer round...( watch out ! )
Q: Why do little boys whine?
A: They are practicing to be men.
Q: What do you call a handcuffed man?
A: Trustworthy.
Q: Why do female black widow spiders kill their males after mating?
A: To stop the snoring before it starts.
Q: What does it mean when a man is in ! your bed gasping for breath and calling your name?
A: You did not hold the pillow down long enough.
Q: How do you keep your husband from reading your e-mail?
A: Rename the mail folder "Instruction Manuals"
Q: What do you call an intelligent, good looking, sensitive man?
A: A rumor
Lets end it with a prayer....
A PRAYER....
Dear Lord,
I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;
Love to forgive him;
And Patience for his moods.
Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength,
I'll beat him to death.
AMEN

Dancers n Shakers
Dance and Music are part of our blood. They both just swoon us out of this world.. into a completely different stage of mind!There are few songs that just work on our nerve endings.. hightening the sensation of movement.. making our limbs and legs move without much recognition. Its called the royal booty shakers in my lingo. Here are few exampless...
* Kaliyon ka chamannnn ( Umi 10 remix )
- Apparently this original song did quite a sensation with our very own Lata's voice.. that was later on copied in many versions... the original Lata's version.. still being part of the famous R n B song "truth hurts". I think this Umi 10 version is the mosttt 'addictive' dance song of eternity!
For the Vidoe, I give it a full ***** five star! ( The video shows one of the best choreographed video with a really good featured model)
* O Aaja Soniya ( Mujse Shaadi karoge movie )
- It is a well-known fact that Bhangra beats just strike that dancing routine from within. This song accurately hits the perfect bhangra hit.. at the same time quite techno sounding.. as opposed to the usual maahi ve and other 'standard' Yash Chopra hit numbers. Its the best bhangra-based song to hit the streets!
* Kabhi Aar Kabhi Paar ( Sweet Honey Mix )
- Singing one of the old Shamshad Begum's song again isnt a simple thing. On top of it.. we have a fusion of English and Hindi lyrics in this completely delicious remix ever heard! Its got such an attractive beat and a very beautiful voice while still retaining the flute music from the original. The highlight of this video is that it is danced by the famous Lady from "Kaanta Lagaa". Its the most ravishing remix of the 21st century!
For the video, I give it a 4 **** star! ( Jus because of the girl.. her kaanta laga song had me put her in the 'not-to-be-watched' list. But this song is one of a kind!!! )
* Deedar De ( Dus movie)
- Sunidhi Chauhan is crowned the "Voice" of the year by me! She has really outdone herself in this mouth-watering song! The music has got a veryy Arabic feel to it.. but best highlight of all is the Latin American model who dances to the tune of this hindi song! I recommend that the original outdoes itself.. compared to the various remixes that would have come out! This is a complete booty shaker !
* Gur Nalon Ishq Mitha ( Remix by Malkit Singh )
- Mindblowing song of the century.. that is quite old come to think of it! But, it definitely is rewarded as one of the most remembered songs in parties.. giving it an edge over every other song because of its really interesting Punjabi lyrics with a standard base beat! With its attractive.. 'oh hoo..' and 'aiye haiyee'. Lol! This wins its position in the top most bhangra beats of the century!
For the video, I give it a full*****five star! (The video shows some sort of story in some marriage with a real cute guy!)
* Ek Ajnabee ( Ek Ajnabee Movie )
- This is the most recent song that is a complete Arabian Nights kinda song! A stage show was conducted where Parizaad Zorabian did mast dance for it!!! My general presumption about this song (although I have never watched the video) is that it has a power with it that speaks through the rhythm and the voices ( by Sunidhi Chauhan and Sukhwinder Singh ). The highlight is the gruff male voice that goes.."mama told me.. dont be talkin to a stranger". Sensational hit of 2005!
* Kaliyon ka chamannnn ( Umi 10 remix )
- Apparently this original song did quite a sensation with our very own Lata's voice.. that was later on copied in many versions... the original Lata's version.. still being part of the famous R n B song "truth hurts". I think this Umi 10 version is the mosttt 'addictive' dance song of eternity!
