Shudh Desi Romance = Ashudh Chalu Romance

Shudh Desi Romance - The title doesn't suit the movie, as there is nothing 'Shudh' or 'Desi' or 'Romantic' about it. Yes, there are 27 kisses, but none of them is shot aesthetically neither does it arouse any emotions in the viewer.
The story revolves around three characters - Raghuram (Sushant Singh) who is a tourist guide in Jaipur, Gayatri (Parineeti Chopra) who works as a English lecturer and Tara (Vaani Kapoor) who is a fake air-hostess.
Raghu and Gayatri also work as rental baratis (Kiraye ke Barati), a concept I have never heard of.
Raghu is getting married to Tara in the arranged way while Gayatri is a rental baraati in his wedding. He is attractd to Gayatri and runs away from his own wedding. He and Gayatri start living together post this episode and soon decide to get married. Next time Gayatri runs away from the marriage leaving him behind. He meets Tara (remember he ran from her wedding), falls for her instantly and starts dating her. In the end, love triangle surfaces in another wedding where these guys are rental barati's again and the decision is taken as to who is the winner and looser in the deal. 

These are a few observations which strike in this movie -
- A stupid tourist guide, who dresses up like a street hawker, doesn't have any family background, is indecisive, lacks confidence and runs away from commitment - can also land up with two beautiful women. In fact, not just lands up, he sleeps with them, kisses them, moves into their apartments and has a good time

- 27 kisses (on the lips), yeah but you don't remember a single one, so tardy and threadbare. They are nasty rather than romantic

- The hero and heroines go to the bathroom a dozen times , don't they have any other place to run from their weddings? Oh yes, all the bathrooms are unclean, shabby, dirty yakk... (remember the movie Delly Belly), Jaipur me toilets ki kami hai kya??

- When Raghu meets Tara on his wedding and she lifts her ghunghat, all the people are amazed at her beauty. Raghu's friends' say - "Bhai, tabhi arranged karne to raazi ho gaya ye, love ke market me ye isko nahi milti".. so true

- Hero still leaves Tara and runs away from his wedding - meets Tara again in a market and runs behind her to become her boyfriend. She also takes full advantage. She says - "Jab arranged me ladki milti hai, tab us se duur bhagte hai, aur jab vo bhaav nahi deti, tab uske peeche peeche baagte hai.. alag hi nasha hai" ...  true... Ego satisfaction happens when you achieve something unachievable, not when it is given to you on a plate.

- Gayatri, a smart independent 'cigrette vali' madam. She has had 4 boyfriends, one who taught her to smoke, another taught her sex, the next one casual love and another who made her pregnant and left. After so much, how could she fall in true love with Raghu almost immediately after meeting him - can you believe it??

And in the end, Oops, the hero is confused whom to choose among the two. In fact, he is not confused, 'Dono acchi hai, apne ko to koi bhi mil jaye' , aukat to ek ki bhi nahi thi...

Basically, all the characters are 'Chalu' who want to have a good time, without attaching much feelings to the activity. Its not about Love, its about 'making love'.

Dialogues, characters, story is definitely bold for the India audience. Not recommended for family people.
My Rating - 2 out of 5


 

Bade Ache Lagte Hai

Today I want to write about Ekta Kapoor's another cliched daily soap - 'Bade' Ache Lagte Hai... I used to be addicted to it once upon a time, waiting for 10.30 every night to watch the next episode. It depicted the story of a middle class girl Priya who gets married to the business tycoon Ram Kapoor. The lead characters Priya and Ram get married in their late 30s, and the story revolves how they realize and identify love for each other. It did carry off for a few episodes very well and soon became the most popular daily soap on Sony television.

However a good story and poor execution doesn't go a long way in luring its audience. There is nothing 'Bada' about the serial unless you want to look at the burgeoning tummy of Ram Kapoor. The heroine is unattractive with horrifying dressing and make-up sense. Her lower middle class kurti-jeans attire, hair shabbily tied with clucher shifted to one side of her neck depicts a woman who lacks youth and confidence. Ram Kapoor's wears a black business suit irrespective of the weather, looks flabby and unhealthy, seems he needs a break after every few seconds to catch his breathe.

The dialogues are repetitive, the story doesn't move forward and the lead characters are least attractive. And the much talked about chemistry of the lead roles - Ram and Priya seems threadbare. They are 'Bade' actors of the small screen, but there on-screen chemistry is almost non-existent. Probably they don't give dates for the shooting, hence the shots seem to be taken discretely and joined in a logical sequence. In an entire 20 minute episode, there is no scene where the lead characters actually shoot together. This makes it irritating and unbearable to watch in addition to the fact that the story has no more interesting concepts left and the dialogue writer is too politically correct with all his sentences, be it the protagonists, supporting casts or the vamps.

Dear Ekta, the motivation to watch your serials is its latest trends in dressing and jewellery, straight forward dialogues, pretty faces and good vamps. Bade Ache Lagte Hai, is different from the league, but has nothing worth watching anymore. There is nothing 'Bade' or 'Ache' about it, except the 'Bade' commercial breaks.

Japan's Earthquake : A start to the end of humanity

Japan's earthquake ..then tsunami and then the nuclear reactor episode has sent shock waves across the world. But still life goes on...Humans have a very peculiar tendency, they do not realise disaster until it actually happens to them. Over 8000 ppl dead and more than 12000 missing - does it impact us in any single way?
I just wonder what could be the reason for this : Are we too busy or Are we selfish or We think we can do nothing about it so no point thinking about it or we just conveniently tend to forget about it. Some of us might even donate some money .
Individuals are doing it, banks are doing it — faced with the horrific news and pictures from Japan, everybody wants to do something, and the obvious thing to do is to donate money to some relief fund or other. My advise would be please don’t. Japan is a rich country and with aids flowing all over, chances are that our donations to the n number of NGOs will not land up at the right place.
What we CAN DO :- Talking in an MBA language- Proactive maintenance is better than Preventive maintenance which is better than Corrective maintenance.
Corrective measure - send money to Japan, help them out of this disaster. When so many big countries and organisations are involved, we as individuals can do very little about it. No point pondering.
Preventive measure - Take safety precautions for Nuclear reactors in India, whether alerts/threats for coastal areas. Again, we as individuals can do very little about it. No point pondering.
Proactive measure- YES, here is the area where we all CAN help. The root cause of this disaster is environmental changes, rising temperatures and ecological imbalance. Scientists have warned time and again, that if we do not take measures now, life will come to an end. Japan is just a start, more is yet to come. Lets start will small steps -

• Switch off the lights when not in use
• avoid printouts- use soft copies to max extent possible
• minimize paper tissues/cups in office (drink a coffee less- u will save a coffee cup)
• avoid plastic and DO not waste food etc etc

Lets do our bit to prevent a disaster. Rest lets leave it on God and our futile governments to take care of.

Suffering from the "Grass Is Green" Syndrome !!!

Grass Is Green Syndrome (GIGS) is a very deadly syndrome which makes you think negetively about everything going on in your life, even though there is nothing wrong actually.
The name 'Grass Is Green' suggests that humans have insatiable desire for more.. we always think grass is greener on the other side of the fence.. life of others is more happening/peaceful than ours.. they are happier than us.. We always strive to live their life and forget about our own life.. but we are out of this syndrome once we realise that our life is so much better.. It is said that this syndrome majorly attacks men once they get married.. :P
Diagnosis of GIGS is not very easy... and if not diagnosed and treated on time may result in even more dissatisfaction in your life..
GIGS has not reported causes.. it can strike you anytime.. here are the symptoms--
Your default mode is 'Frustation'
You feel your job sucks.. its repeatative.. its boring..
You feel you are unlucky in love..
You strongly feel things will be better if you change your job or apartment or gf/bf.. whichever sucks most...
You feel drinking helps.. but actually it does not.. it worsens the syndrome..
I have underlined the word FEEL coz its all your perception... if you see around..
you realise you have so many things to cheer about.. nice paying job.. nice apartment.. nice friends.. amazing things happening in life.. but all this doesnt matter coz your perception is negetive..

I guess I was facing the Grass Is Green Syndrome sometime back.. but m just out of it..
Its time to Be Positive :)

Any publicity is good publicity!!

There were times when people used to proove their mettle by showing skills.. and results.. and they were rewarded.. but it seems that the world today looks for only one skill - Communication skill.. if you dont have that.. you dont have the key reach at the top..
Visibility.. Networking.. Elevator Pitch.. Clear communication..Diplomatic behaviour...all these terms have been repeatedly used in organisations now a days.. We never heard these words from our parent's as at their time.. what mattered most was technical knowledge and degree and not what you call as the skill to communicate...
There is a race to increase your visibility... nobody wants to be at the backend and perform.. all want the stage limelight..When i was a junior in my organisation I used to think, when i get promoted.. i will attend meetings/client calls/webnairs and seminars.. and people will know me.. they will recognize my work. It has been 4.5 years since then.. and I have seen a remarkable shift in the employee mentality.. Now i became a senior to some freshers.. but they all want to share the stage.. right from the begenning.. they do not want their manager to take their share of limelight.. they start cribbing the day they join.. they do not want to do any ground work.. they just want to jump to the top.. without learning the basics.. I dont know this mentality is because all my juniors are MBAs or because of the overall paradigm shift in the thought process of employees...
It seems everything they do.. the focus is on 'Visibility'
Whereever they go... the focus is on 'Networking'
Whatever they speak.. the focus in on 'Being Diplomatic or Politically Correct'
When they behave.. the focus is on 'Self Branding.. USP'

A complete new generation of smart employees has evolved, who are competing against each other for the top position.. but in actual dont add any value to the organisation except being visible ..

I guess...its high time that i also learn the tricks of the trade.. and become a part of this never ending marathon for life.. a marathon of networking...   :)

Childrens Day- Celebration or Pity !!!

We as kids.. looked forward to childrens day, as we would have function in school, we would get sweets.. and it would be a special day dedicated only to us..
But as i grew up and learnt to see the realities, childrens day no longer became a day of celebration, rather.. it reminded me of all those kids who are not so fortunate. Their day is no different on childrens day. you will find them on chai stall early in the morning, serving chai , cleaning utensils, eating left over food.. or you can find them on construction sites picking bricks heavier than their weight, or taking care of the younger one in the sun when their mother is working at construction...Does childrens day make any difference to their life?? i dont think so.. 1 in 3 of the world's malnourished children lives in India.. more than 12 million children are exploited for child labor.. the most exploitative form being child prostitution.. they are overworked.. underfed.. and underpaid..
On the other side of the coin, we see next gen kids who are smarter than adults.. who know laptop operations at age of 5, who live in a virtual world..they good at studies.. good at sports..attend communication skill classes starting class 5th...they have doting parents who focus all their attention on the kid..
On one side we say the coming generation in India would be lucky as it would be born and bought up in a strong developing & domination nation.. But when i see the actual India.. i feel pity.. Are we any better than Africa or other underdeveloped nations in this respect ???

Every kid deserves a good life..
I believe.. if we have been born fortunate.. it is our duty to help atleast one kid with a better future..

People who live on the surface Vs deeper people

We meet different kinds of people in life.. some are serious while some bubbly.. some are introverts while others extroverts...some are grave while some are just happy go lucky..
I always thought that people who are serious, introvert and grave kinds are difficult to handle.. coz their emotions run way deeper than others.. they dont take things lightly and such people dont share their heart with everyone.. While I being the exact opposite of the above description I always ran away from such people.. even though i have had quite a few friends in the serious category.. but they have been quite difficult to handle becoz they dont take things in the light spirit and they dont forget your misdeeds so easily..

I always wanted to be friends with the happy go lucky kinds.. wanted to be around people who make the atmosphere so chill... the people who live on the surface.. take life as it comes and are not serious enough.. But soon I realised that such people may not be good for your health.. they will forget you the moment you stop talking them.. and will find new friends quickly..
People who live on the surface will make you smile, chill, laugh.. they will be good at making promises.. they will make castles in thin air.. their talks will take you to an entirely different world and will indirectly force you to see things from their eyes.. but such extroverts forget promises.. those castles in the air.. the moment they are away.. they are quick in making friends.. and equally quick in quitting ...
I realised that serious people are sometimes good to be friends with.. they dont entertain.. they dont make me laugh.. they are not really fun to be with... but they are there when i need them.. when i am sad, they will go the extra mile to make me smile..even though they dont know how to crack PJs...they never forget me when i stop talking to them..
I used to be a bubbly, surface living person. but still I have been lucky to have some good friends in life... :)

I like it on the couch...

If you were following Facebook for past 1 week.. you would have got the meaning of the title..
So where do you like it?
It was so strange to see women posting their FB Status as "I like it on the sofa".. "I like it on the couch".. "I like it on the bean bag"...and and and... " i like it on the dressing table?"..
This kept me wondering the meaning of "it" in these statuses.. Actually women would still give u decent guesses for the meaning of "it".. but MEN just thought it.. probably imagined it.. and.. you would see many men replying "Men like it anywhere".. HA HA HA..
But noooo... the meaning of IT is not what you just thought...
So many of my friends. collegues and classmates had a variety of answers to "where would they like it?" It was kind of strange to see such bold and blunt attitude of people.. But finally the mystery evolved and i got the meaning of "it".. I felt so stupid..how come i realise it so late...
Actually "where would you like it?" was a facebook campaign to spread the awareness for Breast Cancer.. this meant women to answer - "where would they like to keep their handbag/purse"...You just have to keep it as your status message and spread word among your women friends to do the same..
Because of the cryptic nature and mystery of such messages.. many had their heads scratching as to what is this going on...
Nice and fun way to spread awareness.. waao....

Give a second chance to good and bad.. equally!!!

Our 5 senses.. sense of smell, touch, see, hear and taste..enable humans to recognise things and form perceptions of everything that we come across.. But what happens when there is a conflict between the two senses. Then how do you resolve these conflicts.. how do you draw conclusions and which sense do you believe..
It happens many a times that a sweet voice on the phone which pleases your ear might turn out to be of a monstor.. or a dish which looks delicious to the eye might be pathetic in taste..Next time if you see the same dish on your dining table you might not feel like eating it irrespective that it is made by a different cook..because we have formed pre-conceived notions about things.. people.. food everything..
All these notions are based on our experience and hence we trust our feelings more than we trust the cook who made that dish...May be the second time also the dish turns out to be pathetic.. but the question is will you give that delicious looking thing.. a third chance to please your taste buds.. or will you just say "yakkk" and leave it on the table.. very likely that we will react in the "Yakk" way...
But I think it deserves another chance.. you never know u might end up liking it.. or your gesture might bring a smile on the cook's face for the effort that he made for you..and if not that.. it will atleast reaffirm your bad experience with that dish..
For the sake of goodness left in this world....give chances to everything.. good and bad.. to challenge your perception.. you never know what might turn up.... but TRUST only your instinct.. only your pre-conceived notions.. unless there is a very compelling reason to change them..

" I wanna do Franship wid you "

I am sure everybody might have got the content of this blogpost just by looking at the title..

Friendship cannot happen over the phone or internet.. but "Fraanship" can. Welcome to the world of social networking.. where everyday you will get 5-6 friend requests from people you dont know.. and if you have uploaded a photo in which you supposedly look good.. then the number might increase to 15-18 on an average.. it seems everyone wants to do Fraanship with you... and if you dont accept those unknown requests, some people might even just crack your number and call you.. I dont know what will they get out of Fraanship with me.. All such things used to look very exciting when i was in my engineering but now it seems disgusting..
I see the younger generation and i feel pity for them.. the social networking sites have turned this world into a virtual market.. where people look for prospective Fraands/girlfrnds/boyfrnds. Students as young as 8th standard want to upload their best pics in orkut/facebook so that they can be noticed.. they chat with unknown people late in the night without knowing the danger of what lies ahead.. even people who are not very educated, who dont have a job and who dont have a proper social circle also have 200-300 friends list.. they look for females who have a phone number updated and call them.. instead of concentrating on the basics of education and life.
I realised this when i recieved a call from an unknown person..and i realised my mistake of updating my phone number on orkut. "I wanna do fraanship wid u" he said. and i said "Excuse me.. i dont even know you".. and kept the phone down.. and now the guy has got another activity to do-- "he is sending me messages.. ur voice is sweet.. can we talk.. can we b fraens etc etc.. " Thanks to the mobile companies who have come up with schemes for consumers -- "Rs 31 k recharge pe 5000 local/national msgs free".. and this is how those free messages are being used... Social networkin was build with a purpose to bring old friends together.. rather than being a menace of Franships which can turn into a nighmare.. nobody knows..

Corporate Life burning your fat or turning you fat...

Fat people are happy people.....in fact thats what is the first impression we get when we see a fat person... "खाते पीते घर का लगता है"... but thats not true..
As we joined the corporate world after MBA almost 3 months back.. we all have started looking like "खाते पीते घर का" but are we really the happy-go-lucky jolly people... i dont think so..
It seems the job has made us more frustated and boring of all people...we get up in the morning as usual.. no excitement.. no hopes.. no assignments like college.. attend office .. come back.. again sit over the laptop and watch some movies.. waiting for the weekend to arrive.. we are more lethargic than ever and it seems all the ambitions have died... infact after MBA i have seen that even in office we are not able to find good guys coz half of them are married and rest are in their 30s which makes them less attractive to flirt with.. leave flirt.. we dont even find good friend circle..
In childhood.. when we used to meet old friends after long time.. we used to say kitna lamba ho gaya.. 6 foot ka ho gaya etc etc..
Now.. when we meet our old friends.. we measure the changes by width.. 32 inch se 42 inch ka ho gaya.. and the changes can be seen in just 3-4 months...
Science has proved that depression leads to obesity.. so are we turining obese because we are happy or becoz we are sad... no body knows the answer.. but guys.. lets take a pledge that we will not be wanted to measured by our width or dullness.. we need to be youthful.. lets start being youthful once again.. lets start a new day as a fresh day like we used to do in college.. lets talk and laugh loud instead of just working.. lets walk instead of being a couch potato.. lets take stairs instead of the lift and lets again get in touch with old frinds and let them say... "Khate peete ghar ka lagta hai/lagti hai " :)

Delhi Mania

Do i look like i belong to Delhi?? this reminds me of an incident that happened when I was doing my internship with Strides -- a Pharma company fairly large but still you get to know everyone from the liftman to the security guard to the chai vala....
That day I was wearing a Blue shirt and trouser.. I land up in office and the liftman asks me.. "Madam aap Delhi se hai kya?".. i just said "Nahi" and did not bother to ask the reason.. but i kept thinking why he could have asked me such a question.. i dont look like a girl from Delhi.. m not snobbish.. i dont throw attitude.. and m not that hot too..never mind.. i thought that probably the lift guy wanted to just blabber something and thats y he asked..
The day passed and I was leaving office.. we needed to sign the register marking our attendence for the day.. the security guard was a lady.. she asks me "Madam aap Delhi se hai kya?".. I was surprised.. I dint know why did the same question came up again.. so I asked her "Mai aapko Delhi ki lagki hu kya? Ese kyo puch rahe ho?" to which she replied - "Delhi ka log bahut beautiful hota hai.. smart hota hai.. aap beautiful ho na.. " .. I was flattered.. I smiled and said "Thanks"..
I was walking my way home and a lady who used to handle the marketing division for APAC region just stopped by and said she could drop me home.. I accepted and sat in her car.. and guess what... She asks me the same question ??'''?? " Sneh.. so you belong to Delhi".. I was shocked and gave her a surprising look.. and said .. " No.. m not.. but why do u think i belong to Delhi".. to which she said .. "Delhi k logo ka hindi accha hota hai na.. to I just guessed from your accent".. 3 people asking me the same question in the same day and giving different answers was strange..
And i still remember the incident whenever i look at that blue shirt.. :P

Hyderabad Special !!!

Also called as the cyber city with huge office, lots of software companies, a metro culture, lots of malls but what makes Hyderabad special and different from bangalore/delhi/chennai per say.
There is nothing like a metro/local train or Volvo busses to go to office, but a concept of shared auto. I could not have imagined 7 people sitting in one auto-rickshaw, but now it has become a part of my conveyance to office. Hats off to the engine of these autos which can carry so many people and that too so comfortably. There is no language problem here as compared to other metros like Bangalore or Chennai.. Infact the language is quite nawabi and slightly funny.. they say “nako” for no, “kya Hona” for kya chahiye.. just add “a” at the end for plurals like “Roda” for roads, “Fruita” for “fruits” etc. interesting!!!!
If you bargain here with an Auto walla, he would say “ Madam aap to IT vale ho.. aap to bargain mat karo” as if IT people make millions.. The city is growing costlier day by day.. thanks to the IT cult but not at the same rate as other metros have grown.. it is still cheaper for IT vale people to settle down..
It’s very common here for someone in the bus to slap the other man coz he was trying to misbehave with a woman on the bus..or trying to take advantage in the crowd .. people seem to be quite helpful..Climate is not too bad either..
The city with a million people, innovative shared auto concept.. spicy food and a strangely sweet language..m loving it :)

Money can’t buy Happiness...

Each one of us might have heard this phrase multiple times in their lives, some believe it, some don’t.. But for me this phrase reminds of one of the sweetest moments of my life. I went to Pune for a job and my cell was on roaming. So I could not talk to my friends for long hours as I usually do. One day my friend calls me, I talk to him for 10 mins and said “yaar m on roaming, and balance is low so lets just keep the phone down, we will talk when I get a local number”, and we keep the phone down. Immediately in the next 5 mins I get a message from Vodafone “Your account has been recharged by INR 100. Your Vodfone prepaid account balance is Rs X. “ I was taken by surprise. And in the next 5 mins I got message from my friend –“Money can’t buy happiness, but talking to you can. Can we talk now”. This brought a smile on my face and I cannot explain my feelings at that instant. I finally understood that money can’t buy happiness and still remember that particular feeling.

Cheti Chand jiyu lakh lakh wadhaiyu.. Jai Jhulelal...

Today i want to write this blog in Sindhi.. which is my mother tongue... but unfortunately most of my readers wont understand, so let me write in english..
Wondering what the title means.. It means Celebration and Happiness in order of Lakhs on the festival of Cheti Chand..
Cheti Chand marks the New Year in the Sindhi Calender. Going by the Hindu Calender, Cheti Chand is the second day of the Chaitra month known as Chet in Sindhi. Hence it is known as CHET-I-CHAND. Since it is the 2nd day of month chaitra, it comes 1 day after Ugadi and Gudi Parwa.
We celebrate this festival in honor of the birth of our Saint, Jhulelal. This day is considered to be very auspicious and is celebrated with joy. On this day, we worship Sant Jhulelal- the lord of water and the elixir of life.
On this day, many Sindhis take Baharana Sahib to a nearby river or lake. Baharana Sahib consists of Jyot (Oil Lamp), Misiri (Crystal Sugar), Phota (Cardamom), Fal (Fruits), and Akha. Behind is Kalsh (Water jar) and a Nariyal (Coconut) in it, covered with cloth, phool (flowers) and patta (leaves). There is also a Murti (Idol) of Pujya Jhulelal Devta.
In Bhopal, we have a Sindhi committee and we celebrate this festival together with family and friends. We sing prayers, and dance to the tunes. This type of dance is called Chejj in Sindhi and is similar to Dandiya dance. We also appreciate and encourage all the students and youngsters who have achieved heights in their career and made the Sindhi Community proud.

When you meet any Sindhi and want to wish him for Sindhi New Year, you say "Cheti Chand jyon Lakh Lakh Wadayun Athav". In response "Twah khe bhi Cheti Chand jyon Lakh Lakh Wadayun Athav".

Lakh Lakh Wadhaiyu... Jai Jhulelal !!!!!!!!!
Proud to be a Sindhi :)

Small Thinking Serves No-One..

Our existance on earth is for a specific purpose, for a superhuman goal.. it is our duty to identify that ultimate self acutualization.. we can only get hints.. but yes, achieving the ultimate path will obviously have thorns and difficulties, and it is our karmic indebtness to go through those thorns, cross them... if we dont do so, if we are content with what happens to us and let life take its course we are actually adding to our karmic debt...

Think BIG, life has a bigger purpose, it is giving you hints by generating desires in you...go ahead and achieve those desires.. Get out of your comfort zones.. life has a lot to offer you....

SMALL THINKING: My job is enough to pay my bills why should i earn more... BIG THINKING: i want to die as a millionaire.. so why should'nt i work towards it..

SMALL THINKING:“I’m not really happy with my woman or my relationship … but it’s just so much work to go out and meet new people” to BIG THINKING: “I’m not happy in this relationship, but it’s only going to get worse. I might as well end it now for me AND her sake — I’m going to do my best to make sure I’m happy & encourage her to do the same!”

SMALL THINKING: I really love a girl since the past 4 years but I never tried because she is committed.. I will forget about her and try for some one else who is easy to approach.. to BIG THINKING: I will try my best to get the girl i love.. I refuse to accept that she is not mine..and I will make her believe in the depth of my true love no matter what it takes..

SMALL THINKING:i want to change my look, but i dont want my friends to laugh on me.. i think i will continue the same look.. to BIG THINKING: I am going to change my look, come hell or high water.. and if my friends are not kool with my new look, i will find new friends..

The point is THINK BIG.. in the short run you may face problems but eventually you will get what you want.. atleast take the first step towards doing what your Heart says.. and you will end up loving your life..

You have complete right to think about your dreams and fulfill them.. no matter what is takes.. so let us all pledge to take the first step towards the ultimate karmic indications and decide to Ask for something BIG in life because eventually life will give us what we ask for!!!!

Celebrating Independence

Dated : 15th Aug'09
On this sacred day i wish you all a Happy Independence Day!! but when i say this, a question haunts my mind again and again...
that are we truely independent..we need to look into our own hearts and souls to find the answer to this question. what independence means to us? does it mean just having the rights to equality, freedom, religion, the right against exploitation, education and constitutional remedies? do these fundamental rights suffice our freedom? our independence?
A great man once said: "Freedom is not free" it comes with responsibility and pride.
let us all take a pledge today to protect and respect our freedom. To show our indebtness to those men who fought for freedom, who sacrificed their lives so their our generation can enjoy the fruits of our independence... Welcome to Independent and Mature India.. I Salute You!!

Are guys from Delhi better than those from Mumbai??

This post might interest girls more... as its a comparison about "guys".. Delhi Vs Mumbai to bahut suna hoga but Delhi ke munde Vs Mumbai ke chore unique hai ji..
For analysis, NITIE has sufficient amount of guys from Mumbai and Delhi and somehow they posess distict charecterics and hence it inspired me to write this comparison...** these are general chars .. exceptions are always there!!!
1. Guys from Delhi are street smart.. they know how to bribe the traffic police when caught.. they know how to make excuses to their boss, they know how to calculatively bunk classes..
WHile Mumbai guys are executively smart.. they know how to blabber something in english and get away from trouble.. they actually know how to play with words.. they think themselves to be KOOL while the delhi people think themselves to be HOT...
2. A delhi guy will always talk about chandni chowk, chole tikki and the metro rails..
While a mumbai guy will talk about the local train, the paav-bhaji and the beaches..
Whenver Delhi and Mumbai meet.. they cannot resist this argument.. "Tumhara Delhi accha hai ya Aamchi Mumbai.. Delhi ki metro mumbai ki local se jyada acchi hai.. arre.. mumbai jitna traffic nahi jhel paayegi tumhari metro.. Mumbai me jyada pubs hai.. are nahi nahi.. delhi jyada happening hai.. and it goes on and on...."
3. Normally, as i have seen... Mumbai people prefer to take a bus or train as their commute.. while those from delhi like to go by Auto.. Moreover, Delhi guys talk more about bikes, cars etc while this conversation never interests a Mumbaiits..infact many of the mumbai guys dont know how to drive.. but still they will reach the destination..
4. Ahh... about their attitude towards girls... A Delhi guy is more shy as compared to a Mumbaiya... jitne time me Mumbaiya ladki ko pata k juhu beach ghuma layega.. utne time me Delhi guy baat kaise start karni hai vo plan kar raha hoga..am not commenting on the strategy... both strategies could b good if used in proper sense..but a Mumbaiya is a bit more open and communicative as compared to a Delhi one..
Common Guys... Both cities are equally good.. Dont Argue everytime...
These were just my observations.. i dont mean any offence to anybody..exceptions to these rules exist everywhere.. Any more comparisons... feel free to comment!!!
