Bitter end

Ok I know I had said that I will be back only on 3rd  dec after exams....but you know how this blog bug works...bloody..just could control myself  from not logging in here...U understand rite :-P

"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

These days the amount of calls that you get on your cell phones from different insurance agents/banks have increased a lot.I bet most of them must have had a expirence with them..and iam pretty sure we would have coursed them a lot...

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

An elderly couple, who were both widowed, had been going out with each other for a long time. Urged on by their friends, they decided it was finally  time to get married. Before the wedding, they went out to dinner and had a  long conversation regarding how their marriage might work. They discussed finances, living arrangements, and so on. Finally, the old gentleman  decided it was time to broach the subject of their physical relationship. 'How do you feel about sex?' he asked, rather tentatively.

'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...
