Remember this
''Well, now,'' says the old lady, ''I guess I would like to be really rich.'' *** POOF *** Her rocking chair turns to solid gold.
''And, gee, I guess I wouldn't mind being a young, beautiful princess.'' *** POOF *** She turns into a beautiful young woman.
''Your third wish?'' asks the fairy godmother. Just then the old woman's cat wanders across the porch in front of them. ''Ooh - can you change him into a handsome prince?'' she asks. *** POOF *** There before her stands a young man more handsome than anyone could possibly imagine.
She stares at him, smitten. With a smile that makes her knees weak, he saunters across the porch and whispers in her ear, ''Bet you're sorry you had me neutered.''

Being happy
In this world where relationships plays a very important role, we just keep on trying to keep the relation healthy.We buy gifts,go out of the way to do something just to bring make the other person happy.Some how i feel we as human being have become really selfish and also we have started expecting a lot from people whom we know.
Many time i have seen people giving importance to others only if that other person has done something "tangible" as in something which is visible.And we always over look things which we feel are not so important.
I am writing this today as a small incident happened some days back in the class which really made my day.A really good friend of mine passed me on a smiley.Nothin much it was a small smiley drawn on a papers.[attached above]
Call me kiddo but somehow felt really good I immediately kept in inside my wallet.Iam a person who gives more importance to these small things than others.
It is very important for us to understand that in today jet life we we overlook such small things and then miss out a chance to be happy.If we start nothing such small things we will see that through out all the while we will come across such small instances which will make us happy.
How many times have we heard people saying that" there is no reason to be happy"
I feel bad for them for the fact that these are the same people who dont look at small small things which brings happiness.
Its just that we need to look at the larger picture and njoy life.
Cheers people
Hope this post does bring difference in some people's life

Son of a Bitch
He said to himself,
"Two plus five, the son of a bitch is seven.
Three plus six, the son of a bitch is nine..."
His mother heard what he was saying and gasped, "What are you doing?"
The little boy answered, "I'm doing my math's homework, Mom."
"And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?" the mother asked.
"Yes," he answered.
Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, "What are you
Teaching my son in maths?"
The teacher replied, "Right now, we are learning addition."
The mother asked, "And are you teaching them to say two plus two, the son
of a bitch is four?"
After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, "What I taught them was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four

A day of reasons...
Sitting for "Labour Welfare" lecture is boring in the first place,and it becomes a daunting task specially when you have 2 back to back lectures ,that to from a Prof who is 3 times your age.
Now its true I wont mind having lec from a prof who is cute and funny and yes the main criteria prof should be of a opposite gender :-P...ya ya i know that it is every guys WISH,but who would blame us.. for me it was the finance and the HRP lec which was the best.
There was one clear reason for attending that lectures..well yes i guess 2 reasons [don't get any naughty thought people!!!! it was the fact that both the profs who thought that subjects were cute and they had good knowledge about the subject]
So back to yesterday We had to attend a lecture for Labour Welfare.Now I don't wanna sound rude but the prof just kept on rambling on and on and on.for a moment I was asking myself WTF is goin on.
Ne ways to add more oil to the fire the prof left us late.
So I had made up my mind that I wont be attending today's lec.Right from yday nite i started coming up with reasons to support my decision.
Some of the reasons were
- He leaves late
- what would happens if I miss one LEC
- It was just the start of the sem
Then to add to that one more reason. my mum said to me"if you aren't feeling well dont go for the lec and take rest [OK i wasn't acting but i was actually down with severe cold]"
It was really funny coz there have been so many instances that I have tried and justified my decision sometimes a did stick to my it sometimes not.
But today I went for that lec yes the catch here was i went late so that i wouldn't have to suffer for a long time :-)

Walk on the moon
On July 20, 1969, as commander of the Apollo 11 lunar module, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon.
His first words after stepping on the moon, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," were televised to earth and heard by millions.
But just before he reentered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark "Good Luck, Mr. Gorsky."
Many people at NASA though it was a casual remark concerning some rival soviet cosmonaut.
However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs.
Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good Luck, Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled.
On July 5, 1995, in Tampa Bay, Florida, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26-year-old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded.
Mr. Gorsky had died, so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.
In 1938 when he was a kid in a small midwest town, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard.
His friend hit the ball, which landed in his neighbor's yard by the bedroom windows.
His neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky.
As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky.
"Sex! You want sex?! You'll get sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"

Bitter end
"True friendship is like sound health, the value of it is seldom known until it is lost"- Charles Caleb Colton
Friends they are the one with whom you share things,fight with them,pull their leg,,,plan your vacation and do many more things...but the most important thing you feel secure when you are along with them...
When It came to me I have had a bunch of friends from different part of my life...and luckily i have got some friend who are the best thing happened to me.
But there are some friends with whom things have changed...though the fact that i have shared some of the best memories with them..
Recently i spoke to a person who happened to be very close to me at one time [who am i kidding for years we knew each other]...but that person is no more in same terms with me..Ne ways it was start of this year that things went wrong and we stopped talkin to each other...
Now I am a person who doesn't give up on my friends very easily[people who know me know this fact],But still there was a point when i thought that there was no sense carrying forward that friendship...I hated to do that more coz the she knew that it was her fault coz of which we were in that situation..
Ne ways when things went bitter...i wanted that the person should suffer to hell....
So there i was talkin to that person last month and I could understand from the her sounds that things were not that good.I did try asking her as to wat had happened.
Some how i thought getting to know that thing wer'nt good at her end would make me feel good..But No it dint happen..
Some how it felt weird I knew.felt sorry for her..coz i knew that there was no one to stand by her during this period..
I kept on telling myself that I should be happy,but i just could feel that way...thats when I realised yes things did go wrong..but I dint want her to suffer...may be coz i cherished the memories and that weighted more that the thought of some one suffering..
I remember that day coz i prayed to god for that friends happiness...

Last post
Exams the so called dreaded word that every student hates to hear...remember the time when u must have heard people saying
the famous F word...similarly des days people forbid saying the E word..
When it comes to studies and exams we came up with all kinda excuse for not studying....
When I entered this class i though now that we have grown up and in a position where we are supposed to me responsible for our actions..We will never give reasons for not studying and not shy away from books..But some how i guess I was wrong..The
nearer the exams came the more reasons we came up with for not studying.Just today I was sitting in the library i saw the bunch of my class mates going through a n nos of books..i was wondering...what in the hell made them go though so many books..
I could see the tension mounting and with each passing day people became more serious about exams...
As for me I was in the same boat as they were even i was going through the same tension the same amount of anxiety...only
difference that may be is I knew this wont be the last exams that I will be giving[3 more sem to go for my masters] and it wont be the last time i would be taking a book in my hand to study.
Any ways this though made the picture pretty clear in front of me...Hope fully as last time , this time too my efforts would pay out rich dividend..
So this will be my last post for this month...will be back in actions after dec 3..thats my last day of exams..

Every problem has its own solution
Driving in Mumbai traffic is definitely not a cake walk...the amount of car and time spent in traffic many time pushes us to break signals drive fast and get going...
It was my 6 month of driving after i got my licence. Was driving through my college and was in a hurry so thought of skipping a signal...as i dint see any traffic police.To my dismay no sooner i crossed the signal i saw a traffic cop standing rite in front of me..WTF where did he came suddenly from was my instant reaction.Sometimes At 24 true heroism has not less to do with actual logic and more to do with pure stupidity.and this was a typical case of stupidity
NE ways now that i had to stop...my mind started thinking of all reasons that i could give him just to escape from a ticket.So once i stopped the car i acted as if i dint know that there was a signal.I tried to tell him that I had an exam to attend and i was running late[well typical reason from a college going guy rite people]
Ne ways the funny thing was all that time that cop was patiently listing to my reason...and just when i though he has bought that reason and would let me go for no charges..there i was with a ticket in my hand... As there was nothing to do next i simple took the ticket and went home..
From that till now i learnt the knack of dealing these cops.[no reasons for guessing what is it].Ne ways the reason I remembered this particular thing was just day before yday I was going to marine drive with my friends at nite...when My friend decided to park the car in a "NO parking zone" so that we could pick something to eat.
Now its really a dumb thing to park there but just to make it sound more dumb on our part we had even seen traffic cops standing just some 10 feet away from that zone...and still god knows what made us park the car der...
So me and my friend got down to get some food and 2 of the girls where sitting in the car...just minutes later when we turned back to see that cop talking to the one of my friend[she was the one driving the car].
I knew she needed help and a help of a pure genius that was ME.So i walked toward the cop and i could hear him asking for the licence and the conversation revolved around some fine that he was asking her to pay.I could make out that this fellow was maharashtrian..So i knew i had to make an impact and that too a good one...and what better way to do that speaking him to him in his Marathi.
I started talkin to him and trying to sell him with the best reason i could comeup with..but i guess i was fighting a loosing battle...
Still i dint give up and when it all ended i knew i was gonna win....But it is that few lines of his that really touched me.He said that everyone is nojying diwali but we have to slog here leaving out family skipping our meal and no one seems to care for the..trust me it was around 1 am and that cop was still on the road doing his duty...
That made me realise Every problem has its own solution, and this problem was supposed to be dealt in a better way than what i was planning..
So i helped him in a way which he appreciated the most..and wished him happy diwali and left and yes i did get my friends licence back.

My Part time job
There was this particular call that I got some days back which reminded me of something....
Summer of 2004, It was during my BMS days....
2nd year of my bms ...time after college was something everyone looked forward for.On one hand there were all most of the college crowd who looked forward to hang out party around,go around with their girlfriends, go to swanky restaurants.On the other hand it was me.I was into a completely different role...After college I would become rakesh the insurance sales man.
Calling up people getting an appointment and selling them insurance products was something i did ..It was really funny the other people at work were really OLD and so was my boss...We shared a good good relation..for that matter i guess he dint have any choice as 2k's per month was the best deal he could get...
Ya ya i know you mite be thinking 2 k was very less..but common guys 3 hrs per day I was supposed to work and i could also get that occasional holiday...You know once where u call of work saying u are not well or you have some imp test/presentation at college...
My day there started with a nice refreshing tea or coffee with a nice sandwitch at office[2k's per month i had made up my mind to compensate for that in this way..and ne ways well arent we supposed to take advantage of stuff that we get free]
After my tummy was full I would get to work...One thing that I noted during my work there was there were certain fixed kinda people.I mean the response that I use to get was very much typical
Some were: sorry we dont need kinda people who refused to talk even for 2 min:
Some were: Doing TP people: these people spoke to long time only to say no for the offer at last:
Some where: [My fav batch - Girls ]: These were once whom i liked talking to [can you blame me for that in the end "guys will be guys" wont they]
Ne ways it was always fun to talk to them and the best part was these people actually seemed interested in what i spoke and what i was trying to sell.
Ne ways that 2-3 months that I worked i spoke to people of all kind...and it was one heck of a experience...
Now when i get a call from such agents i make it a point that i dont hang up fone on their face.I politely say that iam not interested..
Its really funny how experiences forces you change you behavior to certain things

Marriage Plans
'I would like it infrequently' she replied. The old gentleman sat quietly for a moment, adjusted his glasses, then leaned over towards her and
whispered:
'Is that one word or two?'

Amar Aur Prem
Andaz apna apna..a movie that i must have seen atleast more than 20-25 times...there are some movies which u really cant get enough of it...one of those is this particular movie...I always make it a point to see this movie when ever i get a chance...mostly aired on ZEE cinema..trust me guys ne time better that watchin present day main stream movies....
when ever i feel tired or drained out after studyin or working...i come home and make it a point to see the movie for some time...
I remember even some of my friends doin this...
The best part of watching the movie is mouthing the dialogues along with the movie...its really fun...all my close friend who have Laptop have made it a point to have this particular movie with them...though I dont have a lap top i have saved this movie on my PC at home...
As said earlier i really feel relaxed after watchin this movie...the humor when taken on a lighter note really does wonders to me...Ne ways while i was writing for this post...i could recollect some of the funny quotes from the movie...so below are some of it...
"Charon taraf se khushiyon ke samachar milenge
Arre kahe ke khushiyon ke samachaar, meri liye aakhri khushi ka din woh din tha jab mein baap bana tha
Mere layak bete prem ne mujhe khush hone ka maukha hi nahin diya"
"Suno suno duniya ke logon, sabse bada hai Mr Gogo."
"Amar aur Prem, yaane ke Amar Prem. Naam sunte hi main samajh gaya tha ke tum dono awwal darje ke filmi aur awaare ladke ho."
"Tum jo ho woh tum nahi koi aur hai, woh jo hai woh woh nahi koi aur hai, main jo hoon woh main nahi, ya main bhi koi aur hoon? Main kaun hoon?"
"Mera naam hain Crime Master GOGO, aankhein nikaal ke gotiya khelta hoon "
"Aey Amar, woh dekh teri bhabhi (Amar: teri shaadi kya Madhuri Dixit se hone waali hain?) Nahi nahi.. uske neeche.. RAVEENA FROM LONDON "
"Do dost ek pyaale mein chai piyenge, isse pyar badhta hain".
"Prem: Yeh lal jacket aapne kaha se liya? America se? Amar: Nahi meine yeh New York se liya hain. Prem: Accha acha mein socha America se liya hoga. (in head.. saala mein bi feku yeh bhi feku, circus kaa retired joker lag raha hain) "
do pitch in if i have missed any quotes from this movie...

Not every road that we take, ends up at home
I felt the author linked house to happiness and road to the things we choose, the path that we take..
Its just that I felt that the author wanted to say that not every decision that we make in life ends on a happier note..
We say that some times we are guided by our instincts...but not every think that we do based on our instinct end up giving good results..
Was really not sure about posting this. As I wasn't sure if everyone would see the same meaning as I did...asked some people but some replies..
.when i asked Swetzzz what she understood when i say" Not every road that we take ,ends up at home"
Her reply was typical of her..."yea true it mite end up at the neighbors door also..." she went on ahead telling well avi in UR case.."It mite also end up in the neighbors bedroom" grrrr [ok don't get funny idea…she said that as I am a very lazy person who likes to sleep a lot]
I found myself thinking too much over a certain given sentence...But though what the heck lets just post it and see what people think about it.
Some how I felt the main reason we as human being get affected to things which do not happen in our favor is that fact that we pin up our hopes so much on a particular thing so high that we are not ready to face the other side of it. And that is when we go back into our burrow and hide from world after the failure...
I feel it's that when we do something we should be prepared for both +ve and -ve outcomes. Only then we would be in a better position to tackle things...
But being prepared for the –ve doesn't not mean we should be totally pessimistic about it.
Ne ways do lemme know your thoughts toooooo :-)

I DUNT WANT TO GO.... (now n then)
The days we guys stepped our foot in college we were really excited. The main reason for it was I guess the independence that we would get…or may be the fact that we wont have to wear uniforms….rite????
Well whom am kidding…I was excited for the fact there would be hot chicks
all around :-P huhauhauhaua
Ne ways college did bring us one very important thing the freedom to choose if we wanted to attend the lecture or not…We would go to college but hardly would attend the college..
Today I reached college just took a glance inside the class saw just 2 people sitting inside the class…something told me to chuck class today and there I was pushing outta college…
But I do remember once incident that took place long back when I dint actually have that decision making power. It was when I was in 1rd grade…I was very naughty that time …[I have indeed mellowed down a lot now]
Any ways during that time Mom Dad use to go to work and I use to have class in the afternoon. So Mum use to pack a Tiffin for my afternoon lunch and keep all my bag ,uniform etc ready so that I could eat and dress and rush to school…
That specific day somehow I dint want to go to school…so there I was thinking what reason to give so that I could bunk class…Thinking thinking It struck me…It was my wicked brain which came to my rescue…Simple. I just hid my uniform under the bed and though would give the reason saying there was no uniform to wear..[Who would blame me for that]
So there I was sitting nicely near the door waiting for Mum to arrive…No sooner she saw me at the door she asked me why dint I go to class…I made the cutest face possible and told her "NO UNIFORM"...I was standing there very happy inside As I was sure That this idea would work… I was wrong. I guess I was transparent as a cellophane tape she could make it that I was telling a lie ……My mum took me inside and started searching for the uniform…I told her that class has already started and there is no use searching for uniform now…But mum had some thing else in mind…Suddenly she looked at the bed and found A lump under the bed…and Bang She knew that the uniform was hidden there…minutes later I was standing near the school, gate waiting for the peon to lift me and take me to my class L.
The picture of the day is still clear in my mind…And when I am sitting now and thinking about it it just brings a smile on my face

I'm This.. I'm That... I'm Tagged!
Then sometime back Sach tagged me...was really excited to see my first tag only to get disappointed..as the topic on which tagged me wasn't my type...really got dejected but. Sachi hope u dint mind when i couldn't post on ur topic.....today swats tagged me...and it was something which i could put my thoughts on...
This one goes something like this "you just have to put down 2 extreme qualities of you which juxtapose each other... "
Well, these are 2 extremely eccentric Facts about me
1. Sketching: I am not one of those who likes to brag about myself....but in this post I will have to talk about it..it was 5 grade when i got my first prize for drawing...I guesss at that time it was just a fluke...It was when I got into my BMS i really started sketching...getting books,papers cutting and sketching what ever i though i could do...as time passed I really became good at it....even my friends asked me to sketch their snaps...when free i always log on to flickr and take some portraits and sketch them....Over a period of 5 years i have made around 50 to 60 sketches....and i always strive to go one step ahead and work on my work.Some of my best work are below.You can see the flick link on the side bar for more skecthes
2. Handwriting: OK this is something which i am really tired of listing...."how come your handwriting is so bad when you sketch so well" I have seen this other people who sketch and their handwriting is really good..
Wont put the snap of my hand writing here..as don't want to hear the same from you..Not even once have i tried to improve my hand writing...my mum being a teacher always use to wonder how my teachers would understand my handwriting in the exams...i use to say"that the catch just to avoid reading my handwriting they give me good marks" :-P
Give this kid a little breathing space...so wat if my hand writing is not good...its not end of the world[though it was end of the world for all the professor who death with my answer papers].
Well this is the anti-to-each-other-qualities that i have....
- Tag your friends at the end...
So here I am tagging

Simply BOB
His wife thinks he's pushing himself too hard, So for his birthday she takes him to a local strip club.
The doorman at the club greets them and says, 'Hey, Bob! How ya doin?'
His wife is puzzled And asks if he's been to this club before.
'Oh no,' says Bob. 'He's in my bowling league.
When they are seated, a waitress asks Bob if he'd like his usual. And brings over a Budweiser.
His wife is becoming increasingly uncomfortable and says, 'How did she know that you drink Budweiser?'
'I recognize her, she's the waitress from the golf club. I always have a Bud at the end of the 1st nine, honey.'
A stripper then comes over to their table, throws her arms around Bob, starts to rub herself all over him and says,
'Hi Bob Want your usual table dance, big boy?'
Bob's wife, now furious, Grabs her purse and storms out of the club. Bob follows and spots her getting into a cab.
Before she can slam the door, He jumps in beside her.
Bob tries desperately to explain how the stripper must have mistaken him for someone else,
But his wife is having none of it .
She is screaming at him at the top of her lungs,
Calling him every 4 letter word in the book.
The cabby turns around and says,
'Geez Bob, you picked up a real bitch this time.'
'BOB's funeral will be on Friday.

Shall Always remember thou
It was love at first site....this was the day when Jimmy came into my life...She was a puppy dog...or rather Bitch.
I guess it had strayed away from its mother,but she dint mind that fact she was more interested in playing with the ball for a while...We also started playing with her for sometime..but later we left and jimmy was left all alone....
The next day when I came out i saw her sleeping near the entrance of out floor...the floor was cold so she was sleeping on the doormat which my neighbor had put outside...
When she got up she was shivering so i fed her some milk and biscuit...no sooner her tummy was full off she went out in the open...
As time passed she not only came close to me but also rest of the family members and also some neighbors..
Months down the line she was treated as one of the family members...Soon at my place her share of food was given to her on daily basis...Still remember when ever we use to have non veg she use to understand that and she would come near the door and bark...[as if she was demanding her share in that too]
As most other dogs are, she also had a sweet tooth...She use to relish the gulab jamus,the ice creams and the jalebis..
years down the line she grew up to be a very health dog...[y not she had best of the food and unlimited milk supply :-D ]..She also loved everyone around her...she use to come and jump on us and lick us...also she would make the sad face when we would give her nething...
Whenever I would move out of the house to college or work she would come running with me till the entrance of the building...wait till i go out then again come back inside the building...she would also make sure non unidentified people are let inside the building.
Though she was just a animal,I could really see the amount of Love she had for us....Once some idiots from the building took her and left her in some far away place.....and when we came to know about this it really drove me furious...the whole building came together and took them for a task....For some days the whole building was actually in a state of sadness as the most beloved dog from the building had gone missing....Few days later when we went to the place where she was dropped....she saw us and she came running towards us and hugged us....[her eyes could not stop thanking for searching her and takin her back to the place where she grew].
The love for each other just grew as time passed..But i guess the happiness wasn't accepted by god...soon the building got demolished and the chawl were converted into flats...no more place for the dog to hang around..no one to care for her...
Lucky we shifted in the building just opposite to the old one...though we were there on the 4th floor...she would always come on that floor eat and sleep there...whole day she would hang around near the building and late at nite she would come above and sleep on the door mat...
There was one incident where jimmy met with a small accident she had a swollen foot..poor thing had to under go many injections...but she dint say a word and took the shots...as she knew it was for her own gud...I remember giving her something sweet to eat after every injection...
Days passed and jimmy started growing old......and one fine day when i was at work I got a call"jimmy is dead" for one sec I was dumb struck..but later came to know that she had met with a accident..a rickshaw hit her and she came inside the building minutes later she was lying dead...
As i was at work before could not go when she was cremated....
Even though she is no more with us..her memories still brings a smile on my face...

..and we think only we Struggle
My curiosity pushed me and and i called that boy asked him what he was doing so late here.
The boy replied saying he was waiting for a bus...When I inquired bout where he wanted to go,i realized that this place falls on the way to my house...So i asked this boy to hop in the car telling him that I would drop him to his house..
Boy though twice but later got in....On the way I had a casual chat with him..I asked him what he was doing there so late ,i came to know that he comes there daily to sell toy on the signal....he quickly popped one out and showed me the toy...i was amused that he knew all the details regarding toy its cost ,the margin of money they make on each toy...
The innocence on his face really made my heart melt...and i removed some money from my pocket and offered him that...My respect toward him grew when he declined the money i gave him....
But later i forced him and he took it...
One the way I also learned that he had 2 more siblings and they had only their mother to take care care of them...
By this time we had reached his house...the boy got down he had a smile on his face and he said *thank you*

How a Marriage Works
'Where are you going, coochy coo?' asked the wife.
'I'm going to the bar, pretty face. I' m going to have a beer.'
The wife said, 'You want a beer, my love?' She opened the door to the refrigerator and showed him 25 different kinds of beer, brands from 12 different countries: Germany, Holland, Japan, India, etc.
The husband didn't know what to do, and the only thing that he could think of saying was, 'Yes, lolly pop. But at the bar...you know...they have frozen glasses...'
He didn't get to finish the sentence, because the wife interrupted him by saying, 'You want a frozen glass, puppy face?' She took a huge beer mug out of the freezer, so frozen that she was getting chills just holding it.
The husband, looking a bit pale, said, 'Yes, tootsie roll, but at the Bar they have those hors d'oeuvres that are really delicious...I won't be long, I'll be right back. I promise. OK?'
You want hors d'oeuvres, poochi pooh?' She opened the oven and took out 5 dishes of different hors d'oeuvres: chicken wings, pigs in blankets, mushroom caps, pork strips, etc.
'But my sweet honey... at the bar... you know... There's swearing, dirty words and all that...'
'You want dirty words, Dickhead? Drink your fucking beer in your Goddamn frozen mug and eat your motherfucking snacks, because you are married now, and you aren't fucking going anywhere! Got it, Asshole?'
.......and, they lived happily ever after

Just another holiday????
Today we are celebrating our 61st Independence day. With developments all over the country we have a reason to celebrate it.
But as heading suggest is it just another holiday that we get???
If you ask me. I would say yes it is true to certain limit...We can get the confirmation about the it once we ask the same question to our self...Most of the people the day before 15 August or 26th January are just happy coz they will be getting another holiday be it work or college.
For most of the people it was just another holiday day....
But if you ask others specially children they will have a lot to do on this day....for them its all about the flag hoisting, the singing of national anthem, distribution and eating of sweets...and the most important thing pining up of the flag on shirt..and proudly saying happy independence day...
"Sare Jahan Se Achha" and "Vande mataram" are sung with great pride, happiness, zeal and great fervor.
For me that is actual celebration of independence day...rather that sitting at home and sending sms's wishing each other..dont you think so???
A week before independence day you will start seeing small kids selling flags on the street...Poor one's are deprived of all basic necessity...They are forced to sell this things against their will.But only to get 2 meals a day they go against their will and get on the road...Independence day is all about celebrating our freedom...But these kids are deprived of that....
The part that I like most of these kids is even when they sell the flags on the street they have a smile on their face and they proudly say"Vande mataram" or "Jai Hind" when they approach us.
Its really makes you wonder how they get so much strength to bear those circumstance and still be happy...It makes me sad that the very next day we find national flags soiled around thrown in all nook and corner.
As said to understand the real meaning and importance of freedom ask those who are deprived of it...and may be then you will understand what freedom means...
So respect the freedom that you have….

Thinking DUMB????
A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his Customer,
"This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."
The barber puts a five rupee coin in one hand and two one rupee coins(1+1=2) in the other, then calls the boy over and asks,
"Which do you want, son?"
The boy takes the two one rupee coins and leaves.
"What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of
the ice cream store. "Hey, son! May I ask you a question?
Why did you take two one rupee coins instead of five rupee coin?"
The boy licked his cone and replied,
"Because THE DAY I TAKE THE FIVE RUPEE COIN, THE GAME IS OVER
Moral: When you think the other person is dumb, you are making a fool of yourself.

How to save a life
Was just surfing through the channels when i came across the advertisement of this serial on star world...had seen the theme song before too ...but yesterday i could see which the album it was from...and immediately got a pen and jotted it down..
Though i had heard this song 3- 4 times could not really hear the full song as just a part of the song was used for the show..or at least i always saw a part of the song used :-P
Nevertheless I could instantly feel the pain in the song...And when i saw the lyrics it truly spelt out the pain...
I feel the song is about supporting someone through their problems rather than just telling them to quit.
But again this song like many others is completely open to interpretation.As Everyone can find their own meanings to songs.
It can be also interpreted as
A person giving a second chance to his friend thinking that at least now he/she will accept that something is wrong and they need to talk.
Do read the lyrics of this song and lemme know how your related yourself this song to.
What ever be the meaning I just fell in love with this song..and iam sure you will too
PS : if you missed the link above you can visit here to see the lyrics

Then and now
Two 24 - 25 year guys are traveling by train.They are busy discussing about some software which converts videos to a format which can played on cell.There is a guy sitting next to them...may be in his teens who is hearing the conversation..
The 2 guys are talking to each other sayin how difficult it is to get full version of any software when suddenly this chap[the teen] says "UNCLE" kya apko software chaiye?you can go to this link and you can get the full version...
The 2 guys instead of been happy are wondering "were they just called UNCLE by a guy who is not more than 3 4 years younger to them " LOL...
These 2 guys were none other that snehal and rajiv two of my BMS friends....I don't blame these guys for the kinda reaction they gave...
Now lemme start with the actual post...has life actually changed after our graduation and after we have started working....May be yes..may be not...But one thing for sure the one's who are younger to us do think that life has changed for us...
There is this another friend of mine BMS again...till the time she was in college her younger brother use to come to her for all kinda help that he needed..but suddenly after she has started working..things have changed...Now he no more asks her to pick clothes for him thinking that she mite now pick clothes which are outdated.. also now he prefers her sister not been at home when his friend are around...
Its funny how things have changed over time...Suddenly we have stepped into a zone where brothers and sisters who use to look at us as
trend setters have suddenly started looking at us as a nerd's
Now that we have to wear formals most of the time we are no more cool :-P
Suddenly we are seen as the older generation and no more we are required for any help[excluding times when they require money]

The truth unattended: Trust
Just yesterday when I was talkin to one of my school friend,she made me realized that it was a decade that we had known each other …a decade wow seems really long time…
@ that time I started pondering who are the other friends with whom I have the same rapport that have with this friend…or who are people whom I believed that we would have the relation as I have with her. Though we had our set of fights end of the day the faith in our friendship really made it easy for us to get back on track…..
That is when I was thrown back in a pool of memories.
Yes there are school friends of mine whom I am still in touch with…but its just not the same..
Also there have been people with whom I had spent some of the best moments till now…but somewhere down the line the spark, the comfort zone completely got lost[couldn't really get to know the reasons from the person]…
Don't you sometimes fall in a situation when you are with some friends…they call themselves to be your closest friends. but still a part of you doesn't allow you to share things with them…
Similar thing happens to me when I talk/chat/hang around with some people whom i call friends. its just the trust factor…
The mind strictly disapproves you to trust the person in front of you….
Trust is a fragile thing. Once earned, it affords us tremendous freedom, but if you loose it then it becomes really impossible to get it back.
Also one important thing that I noted was. you never know whom to trust…The so called close friends may betray you and walk out of the relation,or there are some friends who just play the waiting game and push you too call the relation off by ignoring you to the core, But there are these set of strangers who can come to your rescue.
End of the day I believe you only trust yourself, I feel it's a very safe option than getting burned by a futile relationship…

Rejuvenating trip
But ne ways took a train on Friday nite at around 11 and reached goa at 1 in the afternoon...had lunch and went to th temple..temples in goa we have to book in advance for doin ne pooja's and that exactly wat we did.
After doin that had the whole evening for myself...just took a stroll around near the temple with my nokia N95 and captured snaps from various sides...was really fun using that fone and capturing the beautifully carved temple...
As nite fell in the scene got even better lights all around the temple looked just as a newly wed bride....really amazing...
The next day was fun too got up early as i wanted to sit inside the temple ans listen to the sooting sound of the bell of the temple early morning...and also hear the chirping sounds of the old ladies who sit inside the temple to see flowers.
Through out the stay in the temple the food is something that njoyed a lot...The mouth watering aroma that came from the temple canteen always seemed to pull me in side the canteen...also the food der was dirt cheap....
The view of the temple,the drizzling of the rain,the laid back attitude of the people der,the sweet konkani language and 2 sweet friends[ananya and adit] that i made all combined and made this trip really worth remembering...
After this trip I really feel that I should go der once in 6 month

They are back and back with a Bang

I am sure the same people who prayed for it to pour must be praying again to god and stop this rains.

The Carrot, Coffee beans & Egg
She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.
Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what you see."
"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.
Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg...
Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.
The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?"
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity -- boiling water. Each reacted differently.
The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.
The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.
The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
"Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?"
Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat?
Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff?
Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.
When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

Walkout :-)
From morning today I was not feeling like goin to college.But somehow I convinced myself to go to college as we had TAX lec today.
I dragged myself to college only to see a handful of people in the class. Later we sat fooling around for almost half an hour when we heard the peon saying that we had to move to some other class. There, I knew this would be one of those combined classes where there is no value addition. Ne ways I asked myself again should I sit for the combined lec, answer was loud and clear in my mind "NO NO ".
But again as I had come to college I decided to attend the lec as It was no harm and understanding the concepts of TAX again...
So I took the seat farthest from the professor so that I could do TP while he would teach....The fun part was the actually class which was supposed to be present was not der...We could see only 3 students from that class rest all were our classmates.
Our jaws were wide open when he said that he teaches MIS to this class...LOL we were damn pissed of on the peon that time as he dint inform us that it was a different subject all together...More over it was MIS ..the subject of which we already had a overdose last Friday
So as expected we switched of and stopped listening to what the prof was saying.
The prof could understand that we were not in a mood to listen. Poor fellow tried to make us feel comfortable saying that"You can listen to me sometime and then decide if you wanna stay or move....or 2nd option is you can leave now itself, but I suggest the 1st choice"
The professor must have got a shock when in just 2 or 3 min half of the class moved out of the class. keep the class high and dry.
It was one of the most best walkout I had in years.. truly njoyed it.Dint feel guilty at all for walking out….had a huge smile on my face just like this :D:D

- Suno na - Jhankar beats
Yesterday had really gud time chatting with Shwetzzz..
Dont know from what it started..but we were just discussing about old songs...and in no time we were mailing each other some of all all times hit.As we were doing that we actually lost count of the nos of songs we talked about..Songs well not just songs...these are little little memories attached to each of the songs
Like the

Suno na - Jhankar beats - remembered we had gone for this movie to I max Wadala and it was pouring like crazy outside
Jab Kab- - Jhankar beats - remembered playing this song to a close friend.....
Like wise most of the songs had some memories attached..And i bet most of us do that...All during the chat is was Fun pulling Shwetzzz tang as she calls it :-P
As she hates it when I call her by her name....I still like doin that...she really gets agitated when I do that.

A Beautiful Suprise
We always knew that brownie part is just a joke, but we would still keep count of how much the other person would owe us [at one time she owed 1000 pieces].But as soon as exams came we were so involved that we actually count of the number of brownies,
Day before yesterday out of the blues it just clicked me and I jokingly asked Divs for my share of brownies....She as usual said its a lost deal...The deal had expired X-( ..
We just started arguing in the middle of the lec..and I kept reminder on her cell saying "Take Cake/Brownie" for the next day
As she has Monginis shop rite in her office..I kept a reminder on that time when she would be at work and she will be able to pick up the brownie.
But She forgot to get it yesterday...well I also forgot to ask her for it....
But today when she came ,she sat next to me and asked me to open my Bag...and she removed a Monginis box...With a smile on her face she said..here got u a "Chocolate doughnut"
It was indeed one of the most beautiful surprise for me...as we both knew we were not serious about the bet.And dint really expect brownies.
Yes I agree food does bring a smile on my face,but this was different....it felt really nice thats she actually got a doughnut...
Thanks Divs Thanks a Lot..
And yes I did njoy the doughnut on my way to office :-D

Passing though
From the time we get up in the morning till the time when our head hits the bed..we come across many questions,Questions from various walks of our life
Some of these questions are answered immediately and forgotten.But there are some which are not answered even though we know the answer.These are so dangerous, the truth...is not an option.We shy away from answering coz we are not ready to accept the truth.The thing remains that till the time we don't face the truth we wont be happy.The moment you confront the truth happiness and satisfactions sinks in...
But the fact remains why do we question out self
isn't just for assurance or there is something else???

Weekend Sucked
Really couldn't lift my head off the pillow...Slept something around 4 in the morning and got up 4 in the evening..Still the pain was der..The whole of friday went in just lying on the bed takin all kinda medicine to reduce the pain..but to no avail
I get this head ache when I don't proper sleep...Normally I get this pain during my exams when there is absolute fight against the time..and where amount of time I sleep is very less.
Saturday well was a new day...Got up with a small smile on my face don't remember was it due to the dream i had or for the fact that the head ache was less..
Then as usual when ever i have head ache mum asks me to get my eye checked..to see If i need glasses.. heheh which I really dont like coz some how not so comfortable wearing specs full time...I avoid the topics as soon as it comes...
Ne ways as of now checkup still pending..i guess the topic will come again when i get a head ache again..till then ..let it rest in peace.
As of now NO head ache :-D

Crab race
Day before yday after we had gone to dinner at office and we were coming back to our desk I saw a huge crab just near the entrance of the building...It seemed damn sacred as it was sitting[well thats what i think] in the corner...still as a statue.Pics attached above
At first I felt it was some wire[looking at its legs] later on closer look I came to know it was a crab...
It was nice to see a crab which was alive...The last time i guess i had a seen alive crab I guess when i was 9 or 10.
This mawrewali [the female who sells fishes is called by that name in marathi] use to always come and sell fishes and crabs in our building...at that time whenever she got crabs...and when ever out neighbour bought crabs from here...we use to have a fun of our own for sometime...she use to tie its hands..and then we use to tie a tread to the crab and roam around with it in the gallery of the building.
Then we use to also play Crab race,:-P, we use to draw a start line and a finish line so see who wins..
It use to be fun we were 3 of us..myself,Pravin and Gaurav.
Ok back to present...well when we saw the crab..did nothing much took some pics fooled around for sometime with it and then returned back to work...Though later we heard that the pantry fellow had caught it but then we called him and asked him to release it which he did it later...

Breaking News
Tadddaaaaaaaaa its Breaking News ..
Day in day out if you just log onto any news channel you wont miss that small scroller below the screen saying breaking news...
And if you keep a tab on most of the news channel your are bound to see some or the other breaking news.
Today morning when I was going through one of the news channel..I saw a channel showing breaking news..so I stopped surfing and stuck to that particular channel just to see wat was the news they were showing...To my Shock The breaking news was this"Shreshant karte hai Yoga" LoLzz me could stop laughing at that news..common guys cant you come up with something gud
Ajj kal the term breaking news has taken a whole new meaning...
Have a look at some of the breaking news that has been showed on televison
- "Movie stars start blogging"
- "A patient opens his eyes after 6 months in COMA"Here the person is just a layman not even any celebrity ,not that I care for celebrity either :-P.
- "Delhi mein Blue line bus ka accident"
- "Tulsi ki vapsi" Tulsi is A character from a popular TV show
News channels are no more fun as it use to be..gone were the days of quality news..
If India wins a match all news channels will be talkin high about all the player and the very next match they fail to win...the same channels will be talking bad about it and raising questions about the selection committee.
I really think we need some news channel you are more keen to show some quality news rather than just wasting the air time...

New York store which sells Husbands!
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch. .. You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking.
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor a! nd sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love
kids, are drop- dead good looking and help with the
housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love
kids, are drop- dead gorgeous, help with the
housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
! She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor.
There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

Rains,Paper boats,pakodas and more
Today had fun sipping tea have bites of nice hot pakodas...sitting near the window and watching it pour heavily.
When ever it rains and we feel hungry...[well for that matter even if we dont feel hungry] we feel like having some thing nice and spicy and what better than pakodas....its this natural feeling thats just arises outta you.
It Rains and automatically you see big crowd gathered around vada pav wala's stalls.
Its really fun to see people doin a balancing act with an umbrella in one hand and food in other.Specially small kids...
Rains remind me of the good time that we use to have when we were in out schooling days..like
- Making paper boats [yes we did make many type of them thanks to craft period]
- Catching fishes from the gutter's and keeping it in plastic bottles and feeding them earthworms...
- Taking a wooden log and tying rope to it and dragging it in water...as a boat..

Total waste of 200 cr
Now people I knew how our government is use to spending on unwanted things...but this was a limit...Do we really need another Shivaji statue in the city....I dont think so.With Due respect to Shivaji Maharaj...I guess there are many more important things where the government could have used this money..
Was readin DNA today when I saw views from some well known TV personalities...was really shocked when i saw one of them sayin that congress should spend 500 cr..the other said that its not about money its bout feeling..
I bet We dont have to show our feeling by spending so much..200 cr is not a small amount...and i guess it can be put to better use than jus the statue...
Its really sad that politicians are more concered about a statue than the state of the country...
3rd semester
Now we have the 3rd sem to look forward too...There was a huge cry regarding the timing of 3rd sem...the other 3 batches ie MIM,MFM and MMM were very keen to have lectures only on weekends....[god knows y] i mean common guys why to screw your weekends in college.
Work for 5 days a week and then instead of relaxing on weekends come to college...well this was something that dint appeal to me...So i was very much keen to have a normal timing..
But then couple of days back received a mail saying we had a choice to go for either of timings...and I was happy that I could stick to my weekdays timing.
Having 3 University papers this sem out of the 5...lets see how things build up to the end.
Looking forward for an exciting sem...also keepin my finger crossed
