Looong Break Finally Over!!

Decisions are what make up your life healthier or inferior and we keep on blaming damn circumstances. Irony of life!!!

Anyways… the last movie I watched in theatre was Welcome to sajjanpur… and after that long break, I got a chance to watch 2 movies consecutively. Hahahahhahahaha…
First was Yes Man…. Go man go… and watch this. !!! Its just about say YES to everything what your heart says… lovely and amazing comedy by Jim Carry. Another one was huh … I’ m just so sacred even to write about it. It was “Rab ne BAna di jodi”… ooooohhhhhh mammamamamamma… Except "rab" I couldn’t find anything… no story, no acting…no lyrics…no direction…. It was just NO NO… !!! And the ticket costs me 180 bucks man, (that’s the reason piracy is on BOOM) but was happy as another friend of mine saw it for 230 bucks. ;-) You see sometimes comparison makes you happier!!!!

Finally…. After looooong break again I back to reading some normal books I mean apart from those domain specific and technical books . Got Fooled by randomness by Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Imagining India by Nitin Nilekani. Just started, so cant tell you much about it.

Then then then… Ho ho ho…. Merry Xmas to all you guys out there…
Our office celebration was really great. Yups, apart from cakes and drinks, they place a Xmas tree at reception and hanged on some wishes to them, which were actually some small small things asked by needy children, and we employees could go there, fetch a wish and turn it into a reality for the kid in short it was BE A SANTA CLAUS for someone. Really it was good!!!!

Finally… this is my last post for this year…
Would update you more as I come back from my vacation…

Happy New year to all, in Advance. I really wish happiness and success to all of you.

God Bless you , Take care and do have a BLAST!!!!

Boys Proposing and Gals Replying...

Got this forward this morning... liked it...and so just sharing with you guys...

Glorious Ways to Propose :-

1. I wish I was one of your tears, so I could be born in your eye, run down your cheek, and die on your lips.
2. Did you know they changed the alphabet? They put U and I together.
3. Are your legs tired? Because you been running through my mind ALL day long.
4. Are you lost? Because it's so strange to see an angel so far from heaven.
5. Do you believe in love at first sight, or do I have to walk by you again?.
6. What's that in your eye? Oh...it's a sparkle.
7. Do you have a map? I just got lost in your eyes.
8. You can forget about going to heaven because it's sin to look that good.
9. If I had eleven roses and you, I'd have a dozen.

And Replies To those proposals by Girls :-

1. I don't mind where you die.. as long as you do!
2. So, how many times did you fail kinder garden?
3. Yes, they are. I've been running away from you!
4. How many times have you been to heaven, anyway?
5. Yeah.. why don't you walk by and just keep walking!
6. What are you on? Crack or cocaine?
7. (maybe a disgusted look would enough)
8. You can be sure of going to hell.. your stupidity will assure you of a place!
9. So, that's your problem.. simple algebra!

Comedy At its Best

Yesterday while surfing the channels again I stumbled on STAR One and its favourite serial “Sarabhai vs Sarabhai”. I have actually seen I guess each episode about 4-5 times, but still its ever refreshing!!!!

The perfect chemistry, a family with each individual so different but still living under the same roof. Teasing…fighting… struggling…mockery…chit-chat…gossip…. And what not. The best thing I like about this series is even “criticism could be funny”… Don’t you think so?

Some of the dialogues I just love them…

Indu says… Mein Mard hoon…. !!!!

Maya… Monisha Beta… hiiillllaaa is just sooo midllle class…
Roshesh … mommmmmaaa…. Maine ek nayi kavita likhi hain…..

Monisha… 2 chamach ke saath 1 free thi na…

And sahil above all… the most matured and understanding one!!!!

Dushyant… and his high tech skills… and when he says I’ll explain….
Kudos to the serial and to the actors….!!!

If I have to rate some good comedy serial aired on Indian TV:


Dekh Bhai Dekh - Story of Diwan family
Flop Show – Jaspal Bhatti and his flop jokes…

After long time we got a fresh comedy series with Sarabhai….We are waiting for its season 2… when would it happen?

After Effects Of Mumbai Terror!!

1. Filmmakers are busy restructuring this with all brands of heroes and heroines’
2. Each time a politician is seen on TV/city. People are busy counting the number of security guards he is escorted with and then followed by a comment “ iski security mein itne log aur hum log ke liye kahan se aayenge”
3. The oppositions are no longer “opposing” anything but sitting silently and watching government to work.
4. About 50 or even more of social groups have been formed online to fight terrorism
5. Thousands of letter have been written by some BIG SHOTS labeled as suggestion to tighten the security and fight against terror
6. Suddenly lime light is focused on Mr Pranab Mukherjee” , before Mumbai terror it was Chidabaram Uncle speaking about global economy
7. Candles sales have been record breaking… , if you ask for candle , the shopkeeper would ask you – aaj kahan peace march hain?

But on a serious note… all the points convey just one thing WE COULD REALLY BRING CHANGE!!!!

Shopping Time!!!

Shopping is many a time termed as “Stress reliever” and especially for women!!! No excuses but even guys find shopping time as the best time. And it also depends with whom you are shopping !!! If you are using your hubby’s/ bf credit card who wouldn’t enjoy it . LOL… just kidding!!!

When you plan for shopping, one common thing asked is – Hey I want to go out to a mall to buy a trousers. Would you come along with me? Ahhhhhh… And then when I visualize me standing outside of the trial room and staring at people and there dresses and doing nothing, just waiting for the person to step out and then I could comment on that.

The question is just one :Kaisi lag rahi hoon mein?Or How’s it?
And so are the responses….
Yaar ek size chota hona chaiye…
Yeh na yahan se thoda ajeeb lag raha hain..
This colour you already have na baby…
No try this… this would fit better…This colour is too dull….
The best question is…

Am I looking fat in this attire? And what you could reply. This is somehow an helpless situation for the responder be it girl/boy, as many a times I find myself in this situation – now what should I say, yes/no!!!! Then I twist it… yaar tu dekh le… tumhe pehna hain…!!!
That’s one of the reason I don’t like shopping with anyone….. go alone… choose … try them… and buy them… !!! What’s there to discuss and come to a mutual consensus!!!

Many a times even the buyer has to suffer loss… even he is liking the dress… but the responder comments are not positive , he can’t buy it :(.

So my mantra is Go Alone… who else would know your choice better then yourself?

Whats your blood group?

Did anyone ever knew that even blood group is related to what we should eat and what to avoid.
Strange isnt? But research have found that if we eat as per our blood group it could be beneficial to us afterall heart needs blood to pump in and out and if it is healthy... even our HEART could produce sounds like madhuri's dhak-dhak ... ;-)

So here goes the way...

1. Type A types should basically stick to fruits and vegetables (high carbs / low fat).
   They have thicker blood than other blood types, a sensitive immune system,
   and should not consume dairy products, animal fats and meats. They are at
   a heightened risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.
2. Type B types should consume a balanced diet (fruits and vegetables, grains, fish, dairy, meat, but avoid chicken). They have the best chance of bypassing or overcoming
   everyday types of diseases, including heart disease and cancer.
3. Type AB types should consume a mostly vegetarian diet, and only on rare occasions some
   fish, meat (no chicken), and dairy.
4. Type O types should basically stick to a high protein diet (including red meat), low carbs, and enriched with fruits and vegetables. They should limit the intake of wheat germ,
   whole wheat products, corn, and avoid dairy products and most nuts.
   Type O types are commonly affected with hypothyroidism, high stomach acid
   (leading to ulcers), and thinner blood with greater resistance to blood clotting

So whats your blood group?

Me Lucky oye Lucky…

Yup, I’m , I’m I’m…..
Reason being quite simple, my company gave me “holiday” on Eid occasion whereas many of my friends were working and struggling in office. Ahhhh… so coming back to office but after enjoying an extra day is seriously FUN!!!!
But somehow a mid week leave makes you more lethargic and you really don’t want to come back to office again :(
By the time you realize it’s a holiday for you, its end of the day!!! Sigh….
But still… resting…and full day “Aaram”… doing nothing and changing postures on bed in a bit of “gulabi thand” and sipping tea now and then…Ahhhhh… so much pleasure it is!!!
That’s why you get one…and then ask for MORE!!!!!
btw a belated Eid mubarak to all....

How do you react when you meet a Pakistani?

I really don’t know what would be my reaction when I’ll meet a Pakistani in India.

When I was in UK and was returning back to India, I booked a taxi to reach airport, when I was comfortable and relaxed just to strike a conversation I asked driver, how do you manage to drive at night? Don’t you feel sleepy while driving? He said NO, I manage as I sleep during day. His accent was quite what it is of an Indian. I asked him – Are you an Indian? He said No I m Pakistani. The next question he asked was – Are you sacred about that? Yup, I was bit uncomfortable but not sacred for sure. I just answered him – Nopes why should I?

Meeting a Pakistani?

I don’t know, how and what my reaction would be when I’ll meet a person from Pakistan in India and that too after 26/11? Not talking about high celebrity, politician or some ambassador but just a common man like you and me.I’m sure there would be some sort of uneasiness. I won’t say that but trusting at first go would be tough!!!

Don’t know why I’m thinking that in spite of the fact that one time I had a huge crush on Shahid Afridi who is a Pakistani player., when I know the majority of people on the other side is same like ours and need peace . Even they dislike terror and many of them are there to fight against terror and not for terror!!!
On 27th Nov, when I came to office the first person from client side to ask me Are you fine was a Pakistani(working abroad)!!!!
Many of those short stories in TOI narrating about experiences in Pakistan portraits a completely different picture of the country and its citizens.
It is just the handful of people fighting and my reaction is applied to whole community.

Am I being irrational? Or my reaction is justified!!!

ANGER!!

Anger is appropriately blamed for flawed thinking since it tends to alter perception of risk, increase prejudice, and trigger aggression. But is anger always destructive. Well, I think…Anger can actually prompt more careful and rational analysis of another person's reasoning. And sometimes you need to be ANGRY !!!

Aggression is any form… Aggressive cricket by Oz’s…Aggression showed by mob… aggression showed by students, be it in any form actually leads to some GOOD!!!! Then would even terrorist are aggressive? Not really… usually you get angry when things are out of your control and the person/group responsible does not hold his responsibility!!! So for terrorist it’s not at all aggression but HATRED!!!

And this time again AGGRESSION is speaking… international pressure on Pakistan (but still they are not willing to cooperate), changes in cabinet… changes in MUMBAI(the long lasting Deshmukh is GONE)!!!!

May be this time aggression changes the face of terror!!!
Amen!!!!

Secure Place...

Wasn’t very active on blogger Ville ….
The last time I came on Blogger world it was “Barack Obama and his stories”…
Came back again and now it was “Mumbai mayhem… massacre… terrorist… weeping…

1. We reacted to it… we all felt bad… but still there is no solution to it?
2. We lost crores of rupees just because of one day closing? How to make up for the loss? A charity cricket match? A marathon?
3. Politician are still fighting and playing a blame game? A solution to it?
4. In the all party meet, Advani and rajnath singh were not present? Reason Were busy with campaigning? Do we want leaders like this?
5. Today TOI reported, the majority killed at CST are Muslims, and I thought these are jihadis fighting for there community (Muslim) freedom…!!!
6. Awareness for common man about the bombs is just that “laawaris padi vaastu ko haath na lagaye ussmein bomb ho sakta hain”
7. Terrorist and underworld knows more about our country(loopholes) then ourselves
8. With a population of billions, still finance ministry is to be handled by PM. We don’t have even a single eligible suitable candidate in the cabinet!!!

And moreover… I’m writing this and got news that there has been "firing in Hyderabad” and “a bomb found in Mumbai”…
Need to leave office and find a secure place?

Where it is? Graveyards!!!! …

Recession And Solution!!!

We are hearing about it since lot many days.!!!

• People are losing there jobs
• All other sectors are being affected by it
• Girls are not looking for IT professional as there future partners…
• Suicides

And many more outcomes of “Global Economy” slowdown….

The worst is ofcourse to “loose your job” that too without any reason. :(

Ahhhh… even a pinch of idea like that scares YOU!!!!

So some of the “evergreen sectors” still blooming… and would SHINE …

• Bollywood : No comments on that… people still have money flowing.. and still have spectators and crazy fans to support them
• Politics: Do I need to comment on this? Here I’m not talking about dirty politics, but just politics… even good people exists and some are very focused about Country’s progress and vision.
• Item Songs:… Wanna be next Rakhi Sawant or Mallika Arora Khan? Just some moves and you have money, fame and luxuries
• Journalist : Its just about the news, from any corner of the “gully”… and people are there to hire you.And moreover, they still want jounalist to pick up news on "recession " ;)
• TV serials: Yup, those aspiring actors/actress to be pictured in one of the daily soaps… , again money and fame is for YOU!!!
• Sports :Just Cricket…if you play football, hockey… don’t think to have peace in life. You need to be a cricketer… with so many matches and series round the clock… you still could bet a place for you… if not in Indian Cricket team then… somewhere in IPL..ICL…. ITL…. IKL.....And many more if they come….
• Blogging: Yups… how could this be left out!!!! Just the best way to earn and get famous but you need to work out!!!!

Something left out?
You guys could add…. :)

Cricket and Some Spice!!!

Yup yup, we all are great followers of cricket, at least I’m and till date haven’t ever said – Cricket is now overdone!!!

So now, from tests to one day and now 20-20…. Anything new and innovative you think could come up?

• Cricket is considered to be a gentlemen’s game!! But how about a Mixed Team!!! I mean men and women together could be paired up… quite similar to what we have in Tennis as Mixed Doubles. Wouldn’t it be SPICY? But yup we could many a times hear this from guys – Arrey ladki thin a isliye Umpire ne OUT nahi diya ya fir array ladki hain na isliye maar nahi payi ;-) . Whatever, if we look at the prospects of the game it could be more up of glamour and spicy is what I think….Already guys are after it, if gals join in, they might want it MORE!!!!! And wives are already fed up… they could be more frustrated!!!!
• Another one I thought was “Nukkad Cricket”… As item gals and celebrity nights are organized , people could call team for some “Nukkad Cricket” for the celebration… be it some wedding, or New year eve…. !!!!

Whatever... Njoy the Game !!! :D

My Birthday

Few days back it was my birthday!!! Yup, I know me an abnormal, crazy, irritating, stubborn, and arrogant….. Creature but still I was born like a normal human being!!! Strange na!!!Since last 3 years, consecutively I have been travelling on my birthday.

2006… boarded flight to LN, due to which I got an extra of about 4 hours of the special day. But all in vain, were spent in flight. First one to wish me was “passport officer” in London. After checking my passport, questioning and putting a seal on it while handing the passport back to me he said – Happy Birthday Sweetheart. Yup, I was shocked, never knew that britishers could be friendly to Indians, and to hear sweetheart from a guy was something hard to digest for an Indian girl!!!!

2007… Was in Pune and was travelling back to my hometown for diwali vacation…..

2008… Was at my hometown and again travelling back to Pune….

Due to this travel, all my friends get a good excuse of “ yaar out of coverage aa raha that tera mobvile “(Your mobile was out of coverage). And then they wish me “Belated Happy Birthday dear “and so how did you celebrated? MY answer has been same- nothing much, was busy packing-shacking and the boarding train.
Many others who are not good with numbers and forget my birthday have a permanent reminder by news channel. As on this horrifying day “another cre … crea… creaa… creature was born named “SRK”. And so, it’s usually, people when turn on the TV and see all prasing and history of SRK life. Hila its Chakoli‘s bday today!!!!!

Somehow, I m not at all fascinated with the special day, its more of a normal day except that I get calls from so many friends on a single day. I like that….being together, if not in real then virtually!!!

Live In Relation

Heard This!!!
"In a pathbreaking step towards “legalising” live-in relationships, the Maharashtra Cabinet on Wednesday approved a proposal suggesting "
I’m sure it’s hard to be digested by our “conservative” Indian society.

• Would MNS agree to it?
• Some social organizations will now have something new to protest on…

Making a law and implying it does not solve the problem in India. It’s the society who needs to accept it. Still, the live-in couple fight for house, as house owners are just reluctant to see them as tenants in there society /house. They are still the hot topic of discussions in a society/ workplace.
Still many people in India gives that “SURPIRISED” look if you say you are in Live-in!!!
The expression conveys that – What Never ever expected this from you!!!
Or damn how could you do it!!!

Yup, I agree they are in better condition then a female who works out all day, and gets beaten up his alcoholic husband. And don’t wanna leave him because “they are tied together”. Atleast people in live-in don’t face these situations, but if they are so comfortable in a relation why don’t they tie knot?

Status of wife, as of now the definition of wife in a common man mind is “a girl and a boy when decides to get married and after performing rituals they are declared as husband –wife, pati-patni!!!!
But they say….

The committee had also mooted that the definition of the word ‘wife’ under Section 125 of the CrPc be amended to include a woman living with the man like his wife for a reasonably long period.
Are we really on the verge of losing our culture and traditions?

I’m not in favor/ against them and if they are happy together and not harming anyone Live Your Life they way you want!!!!

Your take?
