Realization

I just saw the movie "Wake up Sid". For those who have not seen the movie, its about a rich kid who fails in academics, has no goals n basically is jus out there to enjoy life. Its about how he leaves his house, goes thru the hardships, becomes successful and makes some really good friends along the way. I'm sure you must be thinking "Damn it, why did he have to tell the story.....Ive yet to see the movie....."...lol.

This got me into thinking mode....it made me realize that in our usual life troubles....we are not thankful enough to see the little things that make our life worth living. Well, I need to thank a lotta people. As some wise man has rightly said "The only friends worth having are those who make u feel good about urself"....btw the wise man is me ...lol

In our lives we meet so many people.....we make so many friends....but at the end of the day...just take some time and think about your life....think about something fun.....the first people that come to your mind are your real friends. Try it.

I know , i know....u mustve already heard about this....but just keep reading....it gets interesting. How often do we thank the people who are there for us? How often do we make them feel special ....how often do we tell them "thanks". Not that many times right.

Everyone has problems in their lives....we all have shit going on...mind the languaage..:P....but seriously think about it.

"You never know what you have, until you lose it".....so just go and call up your real good friends.....tell them how much you appreciate their being there for you when others had deserted you....tell them how much you enjoy their company......in short....make their day.....it works wonders...trust me :P

I know you must be thinking......"this guy is not saying thanks n asking us to do it....."..well here goes....

I would like to take this opportunity to thank.....haha....its not gonna be a boring speech.....gotcha...lol

Well....ive had many friends....many good ...many in touch ...many who have lost touch....many who I hated first.....many who i hate now :P...lol....jus kidding. There are a select group of people....who always make me feel good about myself....

Life is short.....live it up....

Heres to all my friends who have come into my life and made it worth living....heres to the evenings spent laughing at other's mistakes while realisiing our own.....heres to the reunions and the movie outings......heres to the endless planning for outings ...creating a mess of things...n enjoying it to the fullest......heres to the best times of our lives...Cheers guys!

The same old complaint

hmm.....whats the same old complaint?...well....read on to find out. Have you ever wondered why you are still single when all your friends get that special someone into their lives......if the answer is yes, then this is the story for you. If your answer is 'No', read on ....hehe....u're sure to get a few laughs.

Our famous & brave trooper Rahul (the favorite character in all my blogs) starts this story with a visit to his favorite non social networking site (aka Facebook / Orkut).....i know all of u guys check it atleast once a day...if not....get yourself checked by a doctor :P...lolz. So one day, Rahul notices that another of his female friends (a good looking one) has changed her status to "committed"...aah...those magic words. They give your Orkut/ facebook page a whole new meaning ...dont u think? :P..Suddenly he finds the display pic of her friend (lets call her Neha..if youve been reading my blogs ...u'd know dese names by now). Neha's display pic has been aptly changed showing her "significant other". Both are smiling.....damn :P "When did this happen and who is this guy, Neha never mentioned his name before" thinks Rahul.

"When did this happen?" Rahul asks Neha when they meet. Neha answers, "We've been good friends for a while ....". Rahul is perplexed....He experiences a mixture of emotions, happy (for his good friend Neha ofcourse :P) confusion, suprised etc

Now starts the introspection phase....I'm sure we all have gone thru it.....now don't lie....m sure u'll relate to it. Rahul thinks , "Why am i still single? Have I lost the race to become committed? Am i ugly...why is this happening to me...aaargh! Well I'll just wait for the right time , the right place, the right person. " And so he waits......and waits......has he found someone yet?....NO....hes still waiting :P...lolz

Well, why can't our main lead character find his leading lady?....Is there something wrong with the script?....No...duhh....its just life :P.....Lets analyze. There can be several reasons:
1. Rahul can't talk properly....(Nopes...he does have a decent number of female friends and they do talk....:P)

2. He's not humorous....(False....Rahul does possess a fair amount of sense of humour....and gals do laugh in his company....and sometimes at his silly antics ...lolz)

3. He's not a good listener (False.....he does listen ....and sometimes falls asleep as well :P)

Then why oh why is our lead character still single?.....Well....the answer lies out there...."The truth is out there ....somewhere ....or atleast that is what we hope to believe :P

In the meanwhile enjoy this video....which is reminiscent of what happens when your fan stops working...what?.".NO AIR."...lolz



No air by Chris Brown and Jordin Sparks ....Enjoy!

Money matters

As you all know by now, the economic recession has affected all of us in some way or another.....i e if you not filthy rich ......lolz. Its the season of cost cutting and lay offs.......how has it really affected us?....well.. i think each person can answer that better.

But as they say...."the best things in life are free"

1. The awesome monsoon weather......when it seems like lonavla right there in Mumbai. 

2. Friends calling up in the middle of the night .....i know its costs u a lotta money...but i have a point here.....

3. The random name calling session when we just sit and reminisce on the fun and dorky times we had in the past

4. The seemingly awesome outting plan which gets ruined by the traffic / weather....but u end up having a great time anyway! 

Well as they say in the Mastercard ad

Designer clothers : Rs 500 ....to say the least...unless u are really good at bargaining :P

tickets to Movie with friends : Rs 200....assuming u go to a decent multiplex...and the movie is doing fairly good....lolz

popcorn: Rs 40...thats the price last time i checked.......i know... really expensive right......why dont they allow us to carry our own food stuff in the theater. 

Dinner after movie and table booking for the entire group : Rs 1000.......it does get everyone's contribution ....so u end up paying quite less.....

Amazing outing with friends which you remember even after 3 years: Priceless

 

Guten tag....its Photo tag !....lolz

Now the title may seem confusing....but "Guten tag" means good day in german......thnk god....i alteast ended up learning some german from a certain German lady on orkut...lolz

This is the pic taken during the Matheran trip from the 10th std vacation days a.k.a bliss! It was an amazing trip for a lotta reasons......

1. I never knew Matheran could be so exciting......

2.  The sky view from Matheran @ night ....was the "best ever".....havent seen so many gazillion stars in ma entire life!

3. It was a memorable trip for the "sexy 7" ....dats wht we called our group.......now there were 7 of us ....n we were apparently sexy......don't u think ....:P...lol

4. Trekked thru all the freakin trails of Matheran tirelessly n actually had fun........da smell of horseshit on the trail does have dat effect on u.....trust me ...:P

5. Had an amazing bonfire.....wid the talli std 12th guys who apparently dint get enough of the song  "main jaagi saari raath.....soniyo ve".....guess its the national anthem for boozers   

All in all......best trip ever.........btw as you can see in the pic.....we all looked pretty different and beyond recognition.......one would even think its some other guys posing as us in the pic....but no.....its us!

Until the next adventure of the "sexy 7"  ...cheers!

winner takes it all!

It just struck me yesterday, like a big yellow schoolbus. Why do we behave like we do? Why do we do the things that make us smile, make us feel like living, why? Coz ultimately its just a matter of time before it all breaks down. We know so little about when things can disappear just like that.

I know m sounding philosophical n all.....but its all a new realization. Read on......gets better.....;) So we have a story of a boy lets call him Rahul,....naam toh suna hi hoga :P....couldnt help maro that dialogue. Now Rahul n his gf (girlfriend u retards :P....lolz) we goin steady for a while . All was good in paradise. They were destined to be together.....but who know what life had in store for them . Sameera, Rahul's gf....heroine's entry starts :P....yeah u wish :P....
Nwys, Sameera was an independent , cheerful, gorgeous n sweet gal. So whts new rite?.....Stop interruptin n listen. So where was I ? ohh yeah.....Sameera was very n unlike Rahul , they had nothin in common . But that seemed to be what brought them together. It started on 1 rainy day. Rahul was waiting on the bus stand .....BEST (Mumbai ) buses.....never there when you need it . It was pouring down bad. It was the last bus home. Rahul thought, "damn, this bus had to be late today. Its raining n m gettin late......oh there is the freakin bus....". So nwys he gets on it n wishes dat his night would go in peace. Little did he know his life was about to be changed.


As the bus was about to leave, a pretty girl came running behind.....Rahul saw her comin.....she wasn't gonna make it.....he held out her hand.....she caught on. He pulled her in. I know its filmy....but life is dont u think! :P So they started chattin n turned out they had a couple of friends in common. Friendship turned to love. They were a blissful couple. All was well.


Present day, Rahul was having a tough time with his studies, but managing thru. Sameera was a focussed girl u see. She came up to Rahul one day n said " I have a rishta from a well settled boy ". Rahul thought she was jokin. But she was serious. He said " So?" Sameera replied, " I'm considering it...." Rahul was shocked. He said ," I can't believe it , why?" Sameera said, " I know its hard , but in my culture I need to settle down with a well to do boy, you still have to get your life together, I cant wait that long, I hope you understand.". Rahul n Sameera parted ways. He was heartbroken. Sameera did send him an invitation but he never went , how could he?


A couple of years passed by, Sameera was now well settled with her husband in New York, wife of software professional in US u see ...... She did try to contact Rahul a couple of times . But there was no trace. Rahul in the meanwhile had moved on. He got a new inspiration in life, to prove Sameera wrong. Even he could do it. He started workin hard . He got his life together, joined a good company n was now settled (so to speak). He hoped he could show Sameera how much he had achieved some day.


Rahul had a company party to go to dat nite. It was in New York's finest hotel, all red carpet event. ...I know wht you are thinkin..same old story...but read on...So he had this meeting, and then he gets the big contract. He is rushed to India to start work . Then he starts workin late shifts. On one such day , his car breaks down, its pouring as usual, bus comes. He gets in....den as it begins to move.....a voice is heard...dat same voice....could it be.......nah no way.....but he holds out his hand to help the person anyway. He gets the girl into the bus. To his suprise its Sameera, both of them are shocked. She asks about why he dint stay in contact , he says " Some things are better left alone...." There is silence. She suspects hes not settled even now, but notices the expensive suit, he says hes workin in a good MNC n is here on a project. She says " why dint you ever call me?. I totally misunderstood you". Rahul thinks for a minute, n says " Sameera, u n I had somethin special, I couldve conquered the world for you, but u never understood me......when you left....I was shattered. I realized that you should've gotten better n you did the right thing n I'm happy for you. That was the time i started afresh n reached where I am today. But anyways, why am I tellin you all this. What are you doin in India?" Sameera replies " I'm here to visit ma parents". Suddenly Rahul's cellphone rings, a woman's voice can be heard. Rahul replies " Hey darlin, m fine, just finished off the project . Will be back in New York next week. I want you to meet a special friend of mine". He hands over the phone to Sameera n says "Sameera, my fiance wants to say hi". Silence in the air.....

Stuff 2...no its not a sequel !

Well....long time no see....or in our case "long to see but no time " :P This blog is about some people. All blogs are about people only.....whts so special about this one. Well..its about a specific set of people.....a specific period of time .....a specific place....( i should stop using the word 'specific' now....to be more specific :P)

There was a Mr S, Mr VK ,Mr M and Mr VS. They were part of the 'sexy 7' a fictional gang formed during the outing to Matheran in 2001. Ahh.....dose were the days. Anyways...this story spans over a period of 4 years, 8 months , 24 days, 8 hours , 2 minutes and 32 seconds ....lol..(if u read that line and are not frustrated by now....u need help :P )

S, VK,M and VS were friends from school. They were a set of happy go lucky creatures . Actually "they were Happy to go to places where they would get lucky ":P. WARNING: I rilli need to crack a wierd joke every 10 minutes in order to survive :P.......lolz

Ok , so its 4 guys.....whts d big deal. Yes, they were 4 guys and there is no big deal here.....actually there wouldve been a lotta " BIG DEALS" if it was diwali or New year....lolz.....Dont get frustrated...u already read the warning dint ya ? ;)

So lets go 2 the final yr of their undergrad studies, they are just about to graduate and ready to take on the world (or so it seems :)) They have a gr8 get together and outing 2 Gorai before they are off with their jobs. Mr M goes to Hyderabad. Mr VK n Mr VS are in Mumbai and Mr S goes off abraod .

Lets get into the characters. Mr M is a computer genius, a hacker, a coder.....n love guru to say the least. People from all corners of the world flock to him for advice including Mr S. Mr VK is a talented MBA . Hes the life of a party. Gr8 person to hang with. Mr VS is a big scholar. Gr8 at keeping pet names and does occasionally indulge in gossip when in company with Mr S. Actually anyone would be converted into a gossip mongrel if they stayed long enough with Mr S.

Now our story veers off to Mr S's love life or the lack of it. See Mr S is basically frustrated that he has not had a single gf( gf means girlfriend...if u dint knew that ....u are a great gifted god's angel.....psst: how in d world did u manage to not know dat moron!) Nwys Mr S has been feelin miserable since his 3rd year of engineering . Hes sick of seeing all his friends gettin hooked....gettin that significant other, the better ( and in many cases the "worse" half) , the one that completes you. If u still dint get it....m talkin bout a girlfriend u retard ...lolz

Nwys Mr S had acquired the infamy of being accused of hitting on every other girl he met. Mr VS also accused him of being a "Panga dude" always taking "panga" with females. Mr S actually liked a girl in his 4th year ( a certain Miss R ) Miss R was from Mr M's college. But he never told Mr M that for fear of (god knows wht). Mr S would send Miss R SMSs ......They would talk on the phone for hours. Actually it was for only the 1st month since after the phone bill came....he was forced to cut it short to 15 minutes. But this could not deter Mr S. He was determined to say how he felt to Miss R.

He wanted to tell Miss R the magic sentence you know. But he was unsure if Miss R felt the same way. He was to leave the city in a few weeks. But he dint have the courage to face her for the last time. It was a harsh decision. Mr S flew off without saying a word.

They were outta contact for a year. Then finally after a year , he met Miss R. She had come to his city on a project. He wanted to say so many things. Miss R looked at him . Her eyes....they said a thousand tales. Her hair blowing in the wind. Mr S wondered, she still looked the same, so innocent , so fragile. Does she feel the same way? Should I ask her? It has been so many years.....can I still ask her the question?......How can I

The air seemed poignant with the tension between them . Miss R broke the silence...."How are you?" . Mr S replied "I'm good , how have u been?" There was doubt in Mr S's mind about the prospect of being rejected....or ruining the friendship they already had. But he decided it was time to face the truth. How long could he hide it? How long could he not ask the question? He had to do it. So he gulped his tension aside n asked Miss R...."I wanna ask u something". Miss R replied "I know what u wanna say. I have somethin to tell u as well. I think u know my answer" ( people they are not telepathic......love can make eye contact account for verbal communication ;)...lol )

Miss R was smiling. S said " I hope it doesnt ruin our friendship" "No it wont , I was afraid ...but now I feel stronger knowing that you are here ". S finally asked her. He went near her, smiled n said " R, I ......" "eh.....I .....u..." . Miss R smiled n said "Its ok.....just ask ". S finally said " R, I needed to ask u this for such a long time.....'Yeh Melody itni chocolaty kyun hoti hai' " .

Reaction......aftermath .......nuclear meltdown ....etc...follows in the next post. Wht did u expect....perverted minds :P...lol
