  • हींग के फायदे!

    औरो : यार जब तेरी शादी होगी तो में तुझे एक मस्त गिफ्ट दूंगा! बोल क्या चाहिए?

    मैं : भाई कैश दे दीजो !

    औरो : नहीं यार! ऐसा कुछ जो काम भी आये और ख़तम भी न हो!
    मैं : पेंचो! हींग दे दे दस किलो! खाना बनाने में काम भी आएगी और ज़िन्दगी भर ख़तम भी नहीं होगी!

    औरो / मैं : हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा हा!

    I am sure that if Aro and me come together on a radio show, we will make people cry because they laughed so hard!

    And we laughed for atleast 5 minutes… over a few more things how I would stuff him with all that heeng if he gives me any, and how I could get rid of the heeng by gifting it to people who attend my marriage, saying that he was mixed with the body dust of a mahatma from the Himalayas and had a shit loads of medicinal value and blah and blah!!!

  • yawwn!!!!

    I am feeling amazingly sleepy right now!!!

    and I’ve had tea, coffee, water and stood in the sun, the shade and I am still very sleepy!!!

    damn it!

  • Great minds think alike! really?

    Great Minds think alike!!!

    I disagree!

    If the minds are that great, they will probably not be thinking alike, but better! if all great minds were thinking alike… All of them would have been making the same light bulb, or a radio or a telephone, or music!

    But we see so many great things around us, and they have been given to us by great people with great minds! and for all I know they were thinking different to give us a variety of greatness!!!

    Great minds might support other great thoughts, but they for sure do not think alike in my opinion!

  • Life ka Maza!!!!

    I am getting to realize what keeps me happy!!!!

    Its simple…

    Doing a lot of things together!!!

    Its like a catalog of things that I have to have in my mind, and I need to start and stop my activities… It keeps me going…

    If I am doing just one thing… I end up being very restless and dissatisfied with myself!

    पापा : जाऊंगा… थोडा देर से!

    इसको बोलते हैं टोटल विन विन situation!

  • randomization!

    Blah!!!
    Chuck it!!!! I do not want to think about the fact that getting about 6-7 hours of sleep these days is a luxury, thanks to the bucketloads of things that are happening in my life currently!!! I however feel very sad that Jas was here in India and I was not able to give her anytime. I am really sorry Jas!
    Pa, on my request, found the weights that have not been used for the last 3 years… Loads of dust, coupled with rust makes them look sad, but they still weigh the same 🙂 and a bit of cleaning and oiling the bolts would make them work just right! the first step to some light weights happened today in the morning! good!
    Am trying to figure out how to make time for some photography or related work… I have not been able to edit a single photo in about 2 months! There is no mention o a quick Jaipur trip on my blog or my flickr page! and there are atleast 30 odd photographs that I still need to transfer to my laptop! Am thinking of giving photography a break for a while and restart afreash sometime in future! Knowing myself, I would not be able to stay away from it for long!
    Am also doing very exciting things at work! Very new to me and probably a unique role otherwise too, and there are times when I struggle because till the time I do not know which side the shore is, I do not really like to swim! And this time around, its wide open spaces all around for now! Lets see how things shape up with time!
    The Beat is running very fine!!! Its still extremely silent after 2000kms on the dash! I love the way this car moves around in slow traffic, quick response time, decent airconditioning, sharp turning radius and comfortable sitting, make this a good city car! and I am realising that driving a sedan in city traffic is not really worth it! so hatchbacks its going to be for me in the city!!!
    Here is a song that I have been listening to and enjoying since my college days, and I am still very very fond of it, me being able to sing it decently being one of the few reasons for it as well!

  • Have a happy blog!!!!

    A blog is the easiest place to vent out, and for a lot of reasons…
    1. It does not judge you
    2. It does not jump on to resolving your so called problems
    3. It stays with you irrespective of how much of sadness you have in your life. As a matter of fact, the sadder you are, the closer a blog seems to be
    4. It does not differentiate between emotional bursts, or sadness, or mood swings, or stupidity or enlightenment
    5. It will agree to everything that you say… and make you feel better about saying it!
    All of it is, however coming at a cost which a lot of us do not probably realise…
    1. We get to read a lot of sad stuff, on our blog, or someone elses
    2. Blog hopping could end up being a pretty depressing activity if sadness continues to be pumped to the virtual world at this rate
    3. And blah and blah!!!!!
    So my personal take on it…
    keep it happy keep it simple
    Inside out!!!
    Let me end with a beautiful track from my all time favorite “Everything is Illuminated” with the same title…

  • Nothing to do!

    So used to being caught up in something or the other, a day to relax does not seem to fit into the larger schema of things!

    I should go find something to do!

    Only after
    I take Meera for her first service
    I finish my meeting in the afternoon
    and I complete the checklist of things that papa has given!

  • Cold Calling!

    Saar Good maarning!
    I yum khalling fraam Standard Chartered Bank! and I want to talk to you about our credit card! I do not need one ma’am!
    But saar! why naat? This is a very benefitable credit card!
    I really did not have time to discuss, otherwise I would have talked about the benefits of the benefitable credit card for sure!!!
    I also got another call from someone representing CRY asking me to donate money! I find it surprising that some organizations have so much money that they hire agencies to ask for more! While a different chain of thought validates the need of such an exercise, something inside me strongly feels that there is a better use of this money than having a 2X2 inch ad running on news websites, or big hoardings, or cold calling and so on!

    Coming back to the credit cards, I personally feel that a credit card with an intelligent consumer is a very very smart thing for the consumer.. and with someone who is careless would be something like!!! umm… बन्दर के हाथ मे तलवार!(Bandar ke haath mein talvar…)

    Your thoughts?

  • Discount = Free Free Free!

    That is what comes to my mind every time I see the crowds outside a store which is offering discounts… and mind it, these stores have to be stores where women’s clothing is being sold!
    A lot of other apparel stores do give discounts, but none of them seem to be as popular as the ones who have sarees and other dress material on sale… Today evening I happened to be in a line of people waiting to get inside Meena Bazaar, Noida which was offering a flat 50% off on sarees and suits and some other readymade stuff for women!
    It was a nifty fifty discount, but the line outside and the crowd inside made me feel that you could just pick up any saree and walk out without paying a dime! But as it turned out, I had to pay something for those sarees. Now Ma had to get some because of a few functions in our family and at her colleagues places, but most who bought sarees as if they were going to retail them at their respective houses, did not really look like they needed them! but maybe they did!
    Does not matter how many clothes she has, the first thought that comes to a woman’s mind when she opens her closet the first thing in the morning is, “Oh I don’t have anything to wear today!!!” Pun definitely intended!
