Riverfront..

Well Yday I came home a bit early and thought of spending some time on the river side.. It was only then I realised that I can come down and sit at the river front for hours together.
Yes yu r guessing it rite. The place where I live has got awesome riverfront and splendid skyline view !!!

I was sitting thr for about an hour 6-7 pm. It was nice and breezy...They also have a dock over here with some small boats and ferries. I guess I will be taking a ride on that ferry the coming weeken. Sitting thr just relaxing...nothing to worry about (office me final prjct present kar k aaya tha )..I had a real good time thr. Will make a point to go thr once in a while for sure.

Neways thrs this one discussion that I had with my dad recently about my job and all

All translated....I would rather jump outa my apmnt balcony before talking to my dad in english...nd believe me jumping outa my apmnt is not going to be fun by any means....
If statistics are anything to go by then not many have survived jumping/falling from 26th floor of da apmnt !!!!

Dad: dude, yu rem those old films...wherein .....as soon as "THE" son gets his first paychk he goes back home and..
Me: and what dad ?
Dad: arey those gifts and sarees for mom ..the same old story dude..
Me: hmmm woh to maine kar diya na TCS k first pay se...
(***dont even think how cum I managed gifts from that BIG BIG paychk, I wonder how I survived that meager salary for one full yr ...god bless me :D )
Dad: arey but now yu are thr so yu can just send gifts..no problm ..its not necesaary k yaha aa k hi dena chaiyeh :D
ME: HELOOOO HELOOOOOOOOO dad cant hear you man...nagpur kanpur me hadtaal dad !!!

hahaha I know that was cheap ..but its fun to tease dad at times ..I am still thinking what to do wid my first paychk ...need to figure out something really nice :D

To be frank, rite now, I jst wish to pamper someone with gifts and all nasty surprises...
for nw I'll do that to my parents ...afteral satellite communication ka jamana hai ...
If nyone else wants to get pampered...be sure to drop in a mail to me o something..or at least be in my good books and yu are up for some diwali time


Cheers !!!


Current Song: Tumhi dekho na.....

Its a small world ....

It was last weekend. I(we) at office were completely tired and were desperate to go out and have some fun over the weeken.. Made some plan and after a hell lot of opinions and agreements/disagreements we finally settled for "Hard Rock Cafe" at Times Square.

Frnd:Dude, jaha bhi ho jaise bhi ho ..bas challle aao, mai aur meri frnd yaha pe pahuch gaye hai ..cumon man make it fast, we are waiting over here..
I dint know who was wid my frnd and I was definitely not interested to sit wid some 3rd person after that hectic week !!! So I reached late(purposefully). Actually had a drink o two at home with my roomi. It was already 9pm and finally I decided to leave..

As I reached I cald my frnd to come outa restaurant.
Me: Sssup dude..hows the place?
Frnd: Hey.....sssup, dude this is Apurva and apurva meet him...Nikihl.
Me: Hey Apurva ....
Apurva: Hi Nikihl ..
(*** nd I look at her and m like...god I know her !!! defntly know her....I was about to say ..dude tumko kahi dekha hai !!! but suppressed this thought coz it wud have been really filmy !!! )
I let that thought away and checked out my frnd to get in da restrnt..
I looked at her again and it ocrd to me that even she was thinking that we knew each othr.

Me: Dude by any chance ....are you from Nagpur ??
and thr she goes...shouts loudly and hugs me ...

Man ..she was my NEIGHBOUR from Nagpur..
We hadnt met since what like 7 years .....and then suddenly in NY ...
wooo after that we three had a grt time at the caffe..were thr till 230 am !!!!


Indeed Its a small world !!!


Cheers...

Nishabd....Aftermath..

Bleak as it may be....If you believe that you belong to that ever shrinking group of elite people
who do "what they want to do .....", the group where people still want to be themselves......
then you would like this movie. Nishabd..speechless, yes this movie does leave us in a state not so different than what the title hints.

Vijay(Big B ) a well settled family man meets with Jia(Jiah Khan,18 yr gal), a friend of his daughter. Jia comes to her friends place where she meets Big B. As it might be evident, slowly these two crazy creatures start getting close. Apparently they end up expressing thr love for each other. Jia being a daughter-like figure for Big B's age, the problem creeps in and the movie takes a sad turn. The end was a bit shocking but then after all it had to qualify for "RGV " film.

Overall I thought it was a thought provoking and quite an interesting story ...something which might be prevalent in our society since the invention wheel....just that it has never been tracked by these two naked eyes..or else deliberately left unseen.

Some food for thought over here..
I do not wish to comment on this particular scenario...this particular scene but then some dialogues in the movie were worth scratching your head. Few dialogues in the movie like "being oneself", "respecting ourselves", "doing what you believe in " and many more

Cliches they might sound, yet, I always get inspired and feel good when I get to hear them.

Think of it, How many people in this world today do things just because they wanted to !!!
I am afraid, Not Many......

How many people stop/refrain from doing a thing...just because they are not sure if society would accept that!!!

How many people let thr feelings/thoughts die an unnatural death, just because they wish to fit in the conventional Groove!!!

How many people shy away from small things/khushi in life ..just believing that they are too old for that....

How many times did you feel that you should just walk down the street to the park and sit on that see-saw ...to go out and drench in that first rain....go out and freak out for a while !!!

No prizes to guess...that ..
I bet, a Zillion times...

I just fail to understand why so ??? Be it..

Here I distinctly remember these starting lines of one of my fav song(lyrics point of view)
"Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten......"

Here for the entire thing. .."http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/natashabedingfield/unwritten.html"


On a very thoughtful note...
Cheers...

Last song for da nite.

Was just listnin to this song and thot of jottin it down so that I dare not fgt it latr on ...

Chk out guys..my frnd introduced dis song and I kinda liked the way it is :)

"Sabse peeche hum khade "
Silk Route.....

Zaara naazar uthake dekho
Baithe hai hum yahi
Bekhabar mujhse kyon ho?
Itne boore bhi hum nahin

Zamane ki baaton mein uljho na
Hai yeh aasaan janana
Khud se jo agar tum pooch
Hai hum tumhare ke nahi
Teri aankhon ka jaadu
Poori duniya pe hai
Duniya ki iss bheed main
Sabse peeche hum kahen

Mehfile aayi aur gayi
Log aaye aur gaye
Tum jo aaj aaye ho
Dil mein ho bas gaye

Muskarake baat taalo na
Phir miloge jo kahi
Dekhana yahi kahoge
Itne boore the hum nahi

Teri aankhon ka jaadu
poori duniya pe hai
Duniya ki is bheed mein
sabse peeche hum khade



Soothing song ....aint it..

Gn ...

Cheers.

Memoirs of Geisha.....olrite Holi

FYI, Happy Holi guyz.

This time holi over here seems to be on the "dry" side... hehe I know this dry word is kinda elusive. Lets leave it rite thr :)

Anyways, today I was just wondering about the holi back in Inida..If I am not wrong, during colg life (VNIT- Nagpur), most of the years holi was celebrated at my place. Front yard-backyard--terrace..nothing left untouched. We did our bit to keep mom busy, cleaning the whole place for the coming weeks. It was fun that way. Mom shouting all the way rnd, Nikhil dont come inside with yur wet clothes..jst stay away..nd Nikhil being "obedient" child..alwz did the rite thing.....:D

Alrite, school dayz holi was even more special.
Well its like comparing apples and oranges...both had thr own flavours..distinctly difrnt.

School: Get up in the morning, arrange for some shaddy clothes, jhang glasses, rip off the shirt at many places :P , ask dad for letting me out with my LUNA.....haha luna is an interesting thing that hapnd to me in those days. Not just me actually many of us during school life. Believe it or not, few guys used to come to school with that luna thing ..for those who dont know what exactly m talkin bout..herz it "http://www.kinetic2wheelers.com/showroom/utilityvehicles/luna/index.php" .

So getting that thing on holi was a uphill task...nd wid immense persuasion I used to get it done. To be frank my dad is kul that way...

Hot phrase during those dayz: CHAL MERI LUNA. :P ohh Cmon even john must be ridin some crappy vehicle during his not so biking days.
Imagine John dude, ridin on his luna super, nd just gsssshin past yu ... actually, I wonder what he used to drive during his schoolin!!!

Came 12th std and I had my CBZ.., that was some time in life. Truly, BIKE is the best thing that happen to guys during colg life. Riding a bike and takin those curvy turns on high speeds...nearly going parallel to road on the curves..maaaan nothing compares to that.. I guess when I go back to India, I will defntly have a bike in my garrage for sure. Cars are good but in no ways they come even close to bikes.
So, holi then was all about getting into all tattered clothes and roaming arnd in the city on bikes.
It was awesome...


I remember our last holi: Abhishek( auto ), Rahul ( masan :D ), Nikhil jalgaonkar ( Jadu ) and ofcrse myself, we got into that groove and ran after each other with GULAAL, rang and all. Latr the level started degrading with everyone tearing clothes...even betr..we wer doing that rite on the road..Best part came when we forced eachother to BRUSH hahahah Can yu blve two guys handcuffing yu and the last one brushing yur teeths wid COLOURS !!!! haha now that sounds creepy bt it was fun then.. No regrtes...In fact, today I can stand withot any handcuffs and get myself brushed :D ...


Cheers ..
Happy holi once again.
