"Hope" and "Wait" are the two words that contain the entire human wisdom according to the French novelist and playwright Alexandre Dumas. So today I'm going to tell you all something about Hope. Hope is my family, my happiness and my committment. Hope is a home for orphan and under priveledged children. Its a genuine pleasure and an absolute joy to see the smiles on the faces of these children aged between 2 and 15. Once you're there the children wont let you go and you wouldn't like at leave the place either (well atleast this applies to me). Hope is my addiction and i can never get enough of it :) We have most fun when we play kabadi and let me tell you the girls are better than the boys. There are some dancing stars too. Few of the kids participated in a Disney channel sponsored High School Musical dance competition and won the first prize for the Andhra Pradesh Zone on behalf of their school. Lots more to tell you...... to be continued!

Reading a novel or watching a movie, which one would you prefer as your best mode of entertainment? In today's modern world novels are things of the past we'd rather prefer a movie. I'll tell you why. Who has the time to sit with a 600 page book for days together to enjoy a good story? Nobody, not today atleast. Thats why people prefer to watch a story that begins and ends within 3 hours and also gives visual pleasure. But my query is what about those movies that are made on these 600 - 1000 pages novels? Do we watch them? If we do, do we like them? Most of such movies are a filled with a little or (in most cases) lots of "masala" to suit the sesibilities of the so called "audiences". The best example I would quote here is Jane Austen's timeless classic "Pride and Prejudice" and Gurinder Chadda's murderous attempt to make it into a movie bollywood style! I wished Eliza and Dracy didnt exist in the novel after having watched this disaste...
