Me: hey..uncle...u look new here.do u need any help

Old Man: Yea...an u help me cross the road once ii fnish the tea...

Me: sure

The old man finished the tea and started movng when the tea wall came shouting

O uncle ji..mera paisa dedo

Old Man: Arree ..paisa...wo to nahi hai...tum kuch aur lelo

Tea Wala: kya le lu..paisa jaisa kuch hota hai kya...paise ki jagah to ko nahi le sakta...

Old Man: tum jo maanoge main doonga

Tea Wala: achha...kya de sakte ho tum...khud to bhikharii lagte ho

Old Man: main santa claus hoo...bas gareeb ho gaya hoo

Everyone shocked!

Santa: Ye recession ki waja se mujhe sledge bechna pada..mera dress b gaya...ab to bas aise h ghoomne aaya hoo..shayad koi aur naukri mil jaaye...kisi ko contact b nahi kar satka...mobile recharge karane ke paise nahi hain...

Me: Oh Santa! but u are the God..u have verything

Santa: when my chldren are gong through such a rough phase how can i afford the luxury

I can just give u strength, wisdom and truthful ness to survive with love. Money is important but not more then a peaceful mind. I give u the sanity to live with courage and keep smiling in the worst circumstances. A smile costs nothiing.

Men are from Mars and Women Belong to this World

Women look for little beautiful things through out their life to feel contended and men just have to do the hard work once.

The Essence

Take a bunch of Roses.

Crush the petals with some water and separate the essence from them…

Now keep the essence and crushed Roses in two separate containers

Wait for a week….

You will still find the fragrance in those Rose petals.

Does it sound like a beauty treatment or a Rose delicacy?

No! read on to know…

But that seperate essence will be evaporated by then or probably changed into stinking rubbish.

Moral of the story:
You can never defy the nature you have got… no matter how much you try to keep it at bay…you will still retain that essence somewhere with in even if you pretend hard to the world.

So don’t pretend, be yourself.

Strange thoughts creeping my devilish empty mind today!

Discovering the Child

Have you ever experienced mood swing? You must have. But generally people discuss their mood swings from good to bad.

I am bit different. Sharing a little glance that changed my mood from not very good to very good n cheerful.

I was not in the best of mood when I got up today. Who in the world would want to get up at 7 in the morning???

Slopping and sleeping throughout the way to office, I just wondered who would be the first victim of my mood today?

And my mood just swung from drowning in a well to the seventh heaven where no bird has ever reached.

Guess what?

I saw a cute little chubby baby…being pulled out of his car by his father outside a prep school.

His lips were as red as a strawberry lolly, his eyes as innocent as it could get with little tear drops stopping at the corners and his cheeks just touched his shoulder’s upper bone.

I was like I have seen life’s most beautiful thing with all the colors and purity, humility and the expression on his face was worth a billion!!!

Wonder why people worship things like trees and take bath in so called holy rivers to get purety, when the nature has given us a pure heart and a clear mind that gets contaminated as we grow up.

Whish all of us would have retained some purity and innoscence that nature gifted us , the world would have been a more beautiful place to live in. There is a little innocent child in all of us that wouldnt stop enjoying life once you let it free.

The Milestones of Life...

Life at different stages shows different colors. You encounter different people with every new phase or shall I say meeting new people begins a new phase in life. As I come across different people that are capable enough to be a milestone for a new turn in my life, I find them shaping that turn and moving away from me.

I have had my share of interactions with a lot of people in life that are just not with me but have influenced my life in a great way. But when I am like in the comfort zone with them and the level of comfort is at the peak….they move away.

I don’t know whether it happens with everyone or this is by chance, I have noticed that who ever I get close to or start depending upon doesn’t stay too long with me. May be life is teaching me not to take anyone for granted forever.

Right from my childhood friends to my college and colleagues till now, I have not had enough of the people I really wanted, that’s why most of them still hold a special place in my heart and the vacuum their absence creates, is still very much there.

As they say, Distance Makes Hearts Grow Fonder!! – For all of u who miss the presence of those milestones in life.

Calling Games

Some Junkie tried to act fresh with my friend by sending her some smes. We with help of another friend took up the charge of showing him the way to hell. I enacted a cellular phone service provider and called up the guy to know all his details.
The drama began.....

Shhhhhhhhhhh.....silence in the room where other colleagues were witnessing the interesting drama ....
Me (in a very serious tone trying to hold up my laugh) : Sir I am calling from the Idea customer care center and need to confirm your details for a new offer that gives 1000 minutes and 500 sms free.

Guy(excited ..wanted to talk to me): Haan ...yes...tell me maam what do you want to know?

Me: Sir your complete name

Guy(got trapped in the cage quickly): Answered

Me: Sir your mothers name

Guy (seemed to have been liking the talk...so easy to fool): Answered

Me: Sir your permanent address

Guy(tried to be smart by telling it all in one breath..but i made him bark again!): Answered

Me: Sir r u doing service or have a business?

Guy (wanted to talk to me longer..Silly Guy): Explain his entire profile
He just told everything in seconds of putting up the questions. Now we have the details like his name, address, mothers name and his job details as well.

The poor guy doesnt know what hell is going to break loose if he sends another sms. That will be his invitation to the inevitable!

So girls...is there anyone out there you want the play calling games with??

Budding Life

The Buds are Shy
Shy to Come of the Soft Petals
and Face the life

The Rose on Other Branch is Smiling
"I was also Shy"
But now I am going to Die.

The Buds may be scared
But they have to come out
For the Sun and Rains are showering Life
A Life to Die like the Dying Rose

Good Escape

It was again a Metro Letcher who some how escaped this time.

Not that he ran away...something stopped me from lashing out at him but still i couldnt stop myself and passed a counter comment after which he dug he eyes in his stomach...

But that was not me..I would have done much more..but just some times you dont have energy to give back to non-sense.

And May b I was busy watching a budding love story just beside me.. between two college students...did'nt really hear them...but the girl was blushing with red cheeks and the guy keept peeping into her eyes with a naughty spark in his eyes. That was really cute and they were unaware that their faces are telling it all no matter how much they resisted.

Raining Rains

The weather has taken a sharp turn since last week. U all know why?? But one day i just wondered why is the sky weeping?? or its is mourning over the earth for it could never meet thou. Strange it may sound...but I have never has such an ironical comparison to the rains...i always related them to romantic...blissful..tender and refreshing thunders that just calm down the heat of our daily lives.
My perceptions are changing...Am i changing somewhere....???

I experience I Express

I am in a dilema...to laugh or to pity.

My last two blogs have been quiet expressive about certain happenings in the life. but people are too edgy to know what exactly happened. The people who know what is was are numb. and its not just one incident that made me express myself like this, sometimes things just dont look positive in every shpere of life.

But life has taught me to come out of a situation on my own...never depend on others for your happiness...your sorrows and your joys are self created after an extent. So never blame anyone for a sad life.

Life is full of strange things, if i sit down to write all of them, i am sure you would be tired to read them.

i am Quiet ...my pen has stopped

I am Quiet because I have a lot to say but dont want to

I have stopped penning the thaughts because they could stir the storm.

I never imagined a situation that would leave me mute and cold

With a volcano waiting to erupt...i wish the lava doesnt come out.

Back to School With Sumi

I just encountered a girl who looked like my school mate Sumita, lovingly called . I was really amazed to see the girl with similar hairstyle, walking, dressing...how strange?

I once thaught of calling her...but then imagined...would Sumi have remained since 10 years....then i stopped...but the girl made me embark to the beautiful school days and especially our Trio who used to live in a world of their own. When others were edging towards adolosecnce, we three were the naughtiest childern of the class..but the class never knew what mischiefs we have done...!!!

An innocent face in front of mischevious minds ignorant of the budding love stories around....that we discovered later when we were actually told about them by the friends.....

Missing School. Esp Shilpi and Sumi.

Once Sumi was absent and me and Shilpi were having a tough time without her. It was raining heavly and all the students were out in the badminton court in recess. We just stood on the window pane and started joking about every person that passed by.

There was a senior sardarji who just walked by the window and both of us sang in corus...Sunday ho ya monday......rest u can understand...and the guy looked at us furiously...

We were scared to death....after that every minute we would think that he would come and complain about us to give us a good thrash...we wrote a confession letter where we admitted our mistake and exchanged with each other. I wish that letter could be with me " it was like "Aaj humne ek senior sardarji ko sardarji bol diya...pata nahi iska anjaam kya hoga...mera to jo bhi ho lekin Shilpi ko maar na pare .."

and the moment we read it...we burst out laughing and forgot the fear. Because we had confessed our offence ...What a confession....partners in CRIME!!!

Yet Again After 20 Years

I am a fan of Amir Khan yet again after 20 years when i saw his first movie as an actor i.e "quyamat se quyamat tak". I was really smitten my the boy next door looks and dimpled smile....that was an enough reason at that age to fall for him ....And now after 20 years, I just came across the acumen and brain behind those looks when i saw his directorial début - Taare Zameen Par.

A perfectly sculptured movie, dealing with very sensitive issue. The praise is all for the director who conveyed a message so beautifully and in a manner that every one can understand it. Its not one of those movies that goes as a bouncer above the common people and the director shows how abstract he is.

There is nothing abstract in this movie...every thing is simple and from the heart. I have watched it two times and can actually relate to the situation when I used to be a tutor in my second year of college for a 6 year old boy studying in KG class. He had the same problem... his name is Lokesh but we call him Mannu fondly.

really I could make it out…writing opposite alphabets, confusion in letters, writing different spellings for a single word....he couldn’t even write his name....used to write all upside down.... I used to be patient with him…but sometimes it was really frustrating and i am ashamed to say that I even used to slap him.

Poor boy....must have been going through hell....I taught him for 2 odd months and them surrendered.... it was really impossible to keep your calm while teaching him....and i doubt he could survive in that class....... I hope he is doing well now and his problem has been identified.

And wish that many other people like me would have come to know about this problem and have learned the way to deal with it.

Dial 100 for Help

I am quiet used to such incidents and ofcourse my readers would have been used to it as well. Guess what would have happened? Right..a lesson again on thr road for a misbehaving man - a Rikshaw Wala. I wont go in details as it is almost monotonous to talk about the same things again and again. Just a quick snapshot...

Got a Rikshaw to the metro sation and gave a Rs. 10 note to the rikshaw wala...but he returned it saying "15 rupees dena parega..."

I insisted him to be in his limits while speaking and mind his tone. But you know some people just dont understand..i took the note and walked away...he yellled "aye...ladki mere paise lekar bhag gai..." i came back to warn him that if he coudlnt control his tongue i will dial 100. he said.."haan to karona...hum koi darte hain ka".....

Most of us use this as a threat...he wouldn't have imagined...that i would dial it actually...yes i dialed it and the crowd around began convincing me to leave the "poor man". The policemen asked me the exact place to send the van...but i settled the issue by asking for an apology by the rikshaw wala and let him go.

So just dont say...actually dial 100...it really works.

I Miss You Mumma....

I miss you mumma…
Since I couldn’t hear your voice to wake me up in the morning
I could wake up my self but loved the way you said “taniaaaaa….tanman”
That I waited to hear to get out of the bed….

I miss you mumma…
Since I couldn’t get the honey lemon water in the morning
I am taking it myself but couldn’t find it sweet!
What did you add to make it sweeter??

I miss u mumma….
When I don’t find you after reaching home in the evening
When I don’t find that glass of water…
I am taking it myself but the thirst doesn’t seem to lower
What did you mix to make every sip so satisfying?

One Day You will be at Home…
And I will not come back from office…
One Day You will have no one to wake up…
One Day You will have no one to make honey lemon for…

Because you will send me to a New Home
And I have to live without you Forever…
Then … I will miss you mumma…

Finishing Touches

After visiting jaipur, we went to Udaipur to discover the magic of the Era Bygone in the big havelis and lakes in the city. There are many memorable incodents that can be shared, but the ultimate one is when our final journey from Udaipur to aipur began.

If i tell you that I know that our co passangers have had one year of married life, the girl is giving an MBA entrance, the Guy is an economist and used to teach at a collega, and they are travelling with their mother inlaw to see the girls brother who is suffering with a liver's ailment in Ganga Ram hospital...what would you think? Probably that we found some good company in the boogie and chatted a lot with with.

No..Never ...we never had a word with them. Everything OK till a friend came and joined the family in our boogie. The Girl and all the family members just started an endless conversation that may have ended after we were exhausted of hearing and retired to sleep. As sson as the Girl came in....all of them began unlimited discussions on her current job, her marriage going to happen in February ..to be exact on February 15th and the Gujrati family was just listening to the Guy and Girl.

Poor Wife would have been fuming with in but just kept a smile on her face and joined their discission every now and then. The chatter box stopped around 12 O clock and imagine our conditon!!! Two of us started playing cards and me n R were continuously giggling infact covering our faces to hide our laugh after hearing the thaughtful discussion of the two would be corporate giants.

We even asked for fevicol at a platform so that we could mix it up with tea to seal their mouths...but you know luck is not always on your side....We took a breath when they started to sip the tea because they had to pause to take a SIP. Poor people had to make such a big compromise.

And finally when the girl went to her seat to sleep, the Gujrati family began gossiping about the same girl. huhhhhhhh!!! me n miss R went out of our senses and started laughing aloud and the other two girls just ignored us to conrtol their laugh and concentrated on playing cards.....

Anyways it was a memorable finish to a beautiful journey where I made friends with two beautiful people and would believe that we would share many such memories togather.

Reaching the Destination...






MRP at the waiting lounge in Jaipur




Well...as we moved ahead Me and Miss M started our flurry of gosspis and caught up with all the happenings that we missed in past 3 - 4 months. After that we chose to stop that chatter box and let others around us sleep in peace....As we were crossing Gurgaon..Miss M got up and peeped through the window and said: "OOO....this is Gurgaon"...

And I gave a solid evidence of being out of my senses to reply: "ooooho u stupid this is not any Gaon...cant u see the big buildings!"...

M ; U stupid this is Gurgaon ...

OK OK thats fair enough n i pushed her back into her seat and went for a short nap.....

On the other side Miss P & R shrinking with the chill as they were not wearing those "big coats" that me & M had. We were quiet happy infact proud of ourselves carrying those heavy winter coats....Throughout the journey we were sharing this immense joy of being clad in the coats that the other two girls didnt have....and ofcourse we did lend them the coats when they begged from us....we were quiet generous to the poor girls u know....







We reached Jaipur around 5.30 in the morning and I recognized the trademark pink color while entering the city... and as soon as we reached our room...We began the photo session in the most photogenic part of the room...
jaipur guest house

That poor window...had to bear us during that photosession as that decorated chair in a photostudio....And miss P...just slipped into the blanket and stuck to the bed untill the photosession begun....We had discovered a way to get her up and going....as we took the camera..she was out of her bed tooo.....

I was the first one to get ready and leave the room to explore the area around...all of them were left in the mess, waiting to raid the bathroom and the mirror ofcourse.... and I roamed around the place quiet comfortablly without a haste .....As expected miss P was the last one to get ready......
