These days...

I know what are the paths to walk on but then they are too many . They seem to run in parallel yet giving me illusions that somewhere ,sometime ,somehow they will reach the same destination .

I decide to chose one of them only to find others more alluring .Then sometimes I change course ,sometimes I move on ,sometimes I remain stagnant .

I have seen dead ends and decided to stop until I saw jets flying over me .I was stuck in middle of the road until I was able to apprehend the signboard .I decided to halt until I found that I was just a few miles short ...

3 Bs

*ring

B1 - The Ingenious Stooge
B2 - The Manager
B3 - The Public Relation officer
B4 - Bugger One
B5 - Big Bugger One

J1 - Rakshash (Ghost)
J2 - Devi...naam hi kaafi hai

Written & Directed by - Sivaji

After analyzing networks across the world and untangling themselves with subtle threads the three B's (1,2 and 3) decided to focus on task that Sivaji ordered .Though the mission was nontrivial but this probably was a great opportunity for Company B to settle their scores against their arch rivals 'Devi & Associates' .The task could have been over well before it started with a click if any of them had a gf (all three of them are 'forced' members of All India Lukka Society).

Daunted by past defeats they were desperate to turn tables this time .B1 who wanted this mission to be appearing cumbersome at least took latter Bs(2 & 3) and exposed them to grueling realities and made them work just like RajBabbar did in his movies(finishing his homework under streetlights).

Stakes were high this time and so were the hurdles .Not only they had to beat the Js but also take care of the two Bs.So, 3 of them started their work sometime around 1 o'clock and were doing it well until they found whole ambience glistening .They were quick to guess that FC had been transformed to a sanctum by aura of "devi" .Just to feign the world that she was indeed one of the mortal souls she came along with a devil .

15 minutes passed listening to the pious preachings but soon devi disappeared in style similar to that of Frodo Baggins and so did the devil.Every thing was going well but distances are seldom covered without hitches and B2 was quick to spot the first one .B4 chitchatting with Manu bhaiya .If B4 had spotted the other Bs the consequences could have been catastrophic .The working rate would have dwindled the same way that sensex did in early 90's .But God helps those who hide themselves .3Bs decide to halt the process till their subject kin departed from the battle field .

Now it was just a matter of coup de grâce before three dwellers could have attained tranquility but then movie without a twist is seldom remembered and the twist was waving at them from distance of 50 mts .The smiles were replaced by melancholy faces in span of few seconds. But B3 was up to his
task just as an agile cat is while preying for rats .Just as a good PRO he didn't allowed B5 to make any relation with the project and literally took him for a walk .

Just as candle flames flitters just before dying off B5 was back again but not for long .It took just one sentence from otherwise quite B1 to make them see his back .The next few minutes saw them talking in numbers and they finally completed the mission .Neither any of them threw their arms in air nor they took off their T-shirts
like Dada but satisfaction on their face and sleep in their eyes was clearly visible .But like fairly tales they didn't lived happily every after .Actually it was just the beginning of worse time to come as they all were being forked for continuous 3 days ...

Ps:-
1. The Devi design failed miserably .The group members were boasting heavily about the work done by Gudadi ka lal Truck driver from past few days before they were shown the ground realities by Sivaji's Assistant .

2. The members of B and J companies nearly went into coma after seeing design by another South Indian company .

3.Now for all those who have taken pain to read the passage here is the time to gain. Identify all the characters and win a free trip to Sivaji's office .Please post your queries about the competition as comments .

Choice

Choices .As you grow each year,each day,each moment you think, you decide and you chose .You chose from what is with you ,you chose what you want to be with you and you chose what you don't want to be with you .You chose for yourself ,your friends and for your foes .

Choices are based on interests, disinterests ,neutralities ,experiences or just propositions by your fellows .Choices may be fascinating ,envious or dopey .Your choices can infatuate you ,they can soar you ,they can make others adore you or detest you ,they can instigate you or they can slump you .


Your hunt to chose begin as soon you wish yourself good morning (evening /afternoon/ night depending which upon class nocturnal or diurnal you belong). For few of us here in campus the first choiceof the day is the most difficult .We have to chose between the blissful pillow and the bugging alarm .Choice you might have guessed sets itinerary for rest of the day(night if former is the choice) .Other major choice that leaves me stranded is my meal .One thing that I hate is to stand before the brajwasi counter and think of my repast (actually looking closely I realise that I don't have any choices here .All the 'sabzis' taste the same).Coming back to haven (read room) you chose between the shelves infested with books and the second idiot box .These choices seem trivial but real test comes when you don't want to chose between the available choices .




A hell lot of things are expected from you .You are not recognized as an individual but your choices becomes your identity .They say that one choice can make or break your life .I don't know much about making the life part but I do believe that none of your choices can be worse enough to make you an all time loser .If you think that at some point of time in your life you took a step on path which at present seems to be heading towards dead end then there might be a way to go back and if not then keep moving till you find a turning that will usher you away from the dead end .Having born we have all the right to make choices whether right or wrong no one on this planet can tell at the time we actually have to make it .

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Time of your life -Green day

Bavra mann.....

Few minutes back I got a message from Appy telling me to listen to the song 'Bavra mann..' from Hazaaron Khwaishein Aise .From the moment my player started ticking I fell in love with dis master piece .Not in mood to write much today I sign out with lyrics of the song I feel will rule my playlist for time to come .

Bavra Mann Dekhne Chala Ek Sapna
Bavra Mann Dekhne Chala Ek Sapna

Bavre Se Mann Ki Dekho Bavri Hain Baatein
Bavre Se Mann Ki Dekho Bavri Hain Baatein
Bavri Se Dhadkaane Hain, Bavri Hain Saansen
Bavri Si Karwaton Se, Nindiya Door Bhaage
Bavre Se Nain Chaahe, Bavre Jharokhon Se, Bavre Nazaron Ko Takna

Bavra Mann Dekhne Chala Ek Sapna

Bavre Se Is Jahan Main Bavra Ek Saath Ho
Is Sayani Bheed Main Bas Haathon Mein Tera Haath Ho
Bavri Si Dhun Ho Koi, Bavra Ek Raag Ho
O Bavri Si Dhun Ho Koi, Bavra Ek Raag Ho
Bavre Se Pair Chahen, Baavron Tarano Ke, Bavre Se Bol Pe Thirakna
Bavra Mann, Dekhne Chala Ek Sapna

Bavra Sa Ho Andhera, Bavri Khamoshiyan
Bavra Sa Ho Andhera, Bavri Khamoshiyan
Thartharati Lou Ho Maddham, Bavri Madhoshiyan
Bavra Ek Ghooghta Chahe, Haule Haule Bin Bataye
Bavra Ek Ghooghta Chahe, Haule Haule Bin Bataye, Bavre Se Mukhde Se Sarakana

Bavra Mann, Dekhne Chala Ek Sapna
Bavra Mann, Dekhne Chala Ek Sapna
Bavra Mann, Dekhne Chala Ek Sapna
Bavra Mann, Dekhne Chala Ek Sapna

Thanks appy :)
and ya ,Happy Independence day

Typical Bhopali

After abeyance I am back to the blogging world with different background colour and a header pic.To be frank I was relaxing all this time at home and was too busy to write something but definitely was not short of thoughts any time.

Sem 5 has already started and in midst of deciding electives I thought of keying the masses I have seen evolving in front of my eyes .The word 'Bhopali' literary means someone coming from Bhopal but if you ask a person who has grown old playing and listening to verses of Urdu in congested corridors of this ancient city, he will tell you that this word carries much deeper meaning. Owing to all technological bugging the number of people for whom the tag 'Bhopali' suits best are dwindling at an alarming rate .



Masses which were once renowned for their austere ethics and conduct are slowing creating a new place for themselves which neither is fully drooled by the west nor is it ready to accept things which are quondam .

A typical Shaver residing in Bhopal would have his own bike or jeep which is modified ostentatiously and would shed loads of bucks to maintain it but surprisingly he would
never spend more than Rs.20 (well this figure may vary but not too great extent) to refill his fuel tank .A typical Bhopali is die hard Salman Khan fan and would take even extralegal means to watch his movies on first day of release as if it is a matter of pride .He would spend his evenings hovering around beautiful lakes or sweating in gyms .He follows cricket with scrutiny and would cheer for Pakistani team expect for their matches against India .

Apart from all this notoriety he acquires great knowledge of Urdu (something I regret not to have), great taste for music, is obstinate about religious beliefs and is connoisseur of tea and non veg food .Like a stooge he would never deny an offered cup of tea even if it was preceded by myriads of cups .I am completely unaware of
sources from which Vidhu Vinod Chopra borrowed the word 'Mamu' but I have been listening to this word since my stay in Bhopal and it doesn't refer to a clod as depicted in movie .In fact it is one of the inevitable tags you hear from a Bhopali when he is talking to his colleague or his junior .It is great to talk and explore a Bhopali and you would find him raving about almost anything and everything and will definitely be mesmerized with his accent (The one Jagdeep (Surma Bhoapli)used in Sholay).

Ps:- Those who know me will agree that I am not a typical Bhopali as I do not own a bike nor do I like Salman Khan and on top of it I hate watching cricket nowadays but I love this city and am proud to have friends which are Bhopali in true sense.

Gods do love Federer

Stakes were high this time . Being thrashed by Spanish Bullin Paris Federer had to bounce back to settle scores at Wimbledon .The finalists were more or less decided
even before the tournament started but may be there was slightest of doubts whether Nadal would make it to the centre court as wise men still consider him as clay court wonder but then having edge over Fed-Ex (7-6) in head to head combats is definitely not a fluke and I was certain that he would make it to the finals .Well there is no doubt that Federer is one of the most successful player ever to step on court and his sheer presence can benumb his counterparts specially on grass where he can play his shots at will .But fight put up by Nadal deserves accolades and for the first time in six years we saw Wimbledon final being stretched to 5 sets .It’s irony on part of sportsmen that despite of being talented they do not get praises they deserve not because they are not good enough but just because there is someone who is better than they are .
Umpteen spinners have constantly been knocking doors of Indian cricket team since past 18 years but all their efforts to fetch that coveted blue jersey have failed just because they were born in era when Anil Kumble is providing his services to Indian Cricket team. Achievements of Jimmy Connors were always overshadowed by Borg’s talent .The great Rivalado was considered only the second best after Ronaldo. My apologies from deflecting away from the topic but the point is who’s better of the two one who is blessed with talent or one who works hard to be a prodigy? Nadal puts in lots of efforts to achieve his points and this is visible from all the running he does and ooo’s and aaaah’s he extrudes while playing his shots .On the other hand Federer has his own class and it’s sheer pleasure to watch how he maneuvers his opponents moves as if it was all pre-decided. Twice in final set Federer was behind with score board projecting 15-40 and in front of him was a man who didn’t miss a break point just month ago and still at the end of the day Swiss boy was able to hold most prestigious trophy in Tennis arena. It requires more than talent to reach altitudes that this man has reached . Nadal might be a great player but he is definitely not the greatest whereas Federer is blessed and therefore churches near Wimbledon say –“Gods love Federer”.
