Interpreter of Mentalities

I guess sitting in front of either a lappy or a PC for about 14 hours a day, classified me under the “NOT SO NORMAL” category of human beings. If you are living in a so tagged Developing Country and working for Information Technology, you’d relate it well. We try to get deep into another person’s life. If it concerns Us, we become the interpreter of mentalities, why not? that’s the way people think nowdays. Now don’t tell me you didn’t know that. Ummm…. let me describe through a series of examples.

People Say: Do you own a ****Bank Credit Card?
We Interpret: What’s your status without it anyway?
[It's funny we feel good when we are in debt, how can someone own a credit card, it's like the bank owns him through a plastic card]

People Say: Where did you say you work?
We Interpret: Are you still in that same old company?
[You can't be happy with your job, that is such a lame excuse now a days]

People Say: Can you deliver the work on time?
We Interpret: I need the work in time, else….
[Say Yes and get the same pain as you get, if you say a No]

People Say: How is your girl friend?
We Interpret: Are you both still together?
[What's Love got to do in a relationship]

People Say: Sir, you have been selected for a free offer…
We Interpret: I’m going to sell you the product by my sweet, stupid conversation
[Mobile companies rule the way, then comes insurance, mutual funds and trading companies]

People Say: Hope you are enjoying the party.
We Interpret: If you are done, can you please go home?
[We need to party, we live to party]

People Say: Hey! Happy birthday
We Interpret: It’s time, please show us the food
[Birthdays are really one step closer to death]

People Say: Wow! who did this? You??
We Interpret: It’s unbelievable you can actually do something
["I" is always the smarter one between "I", "YOU", "HE", "SHE" and "THEY"]

and now –

You Think: Did you write this piece?
I Interpret: Where did you copy it from?
[We are all self certified in CTRL+C, CTRL+V]

Some good words!



I would still tolerate a bad decision for me than the rigors of self judgement. And my argument in defense is if I have survived so far and so long with these attributes, I would rather not change. God knows what change would do. Yet, I do acknowledge that quite unknowingly, it is change that has crept in somewhat quietly in my life and been reason enough for my survival so far. So in a sense I succumb to fate and luck and the stars and occult or whatever it is that guides us supernaturally. But surely, that cannot be the mantra for life. Life, through ages of sane and sage existence has extolled the virtues of karma. Do your karma. The rest will be taken care of. But everyone does his or her karma with equal diligence and effort and yet there is inequality. So what is it that pushes one forward and the other behind.
We have never been able to answer adequately on this. And when we have no adequate answers we rest back on and take refuge with, forces unknown and unseen. They could be manifestations of what or who we believe in in worship and prayer. Or they could be beliefs more practical. Somehow, somewhere we leave the final decision to another. If it is not happening to us there must be reason and cause for it and that that reason and cause is not to be questioned. If we had an answer, we would get a finite result. If we are not, then it is best left to infinity. Or divinity. Whoever gives us a decision !!
So. Do my travails with indecision rest somewhere in the above ??
What would you think ? Feel like sharing it with me ?

Much love and care and all else that is bright and beautiful, to you -


Amitabh Bachchan

She …
Cares for him..
Misses him 24/7..
Craves to love him..
Craves for his love..
Wants to hug him tight..
Would think of him in the middle of the night..
Would care for his family..
Prays for him…
Would tease him..
Could feel his pain…
Cries for him..
Wants to marry him..
Wants to wake him up with a good morning kiss..
Wants to give him a good bye kiss when he leaves for his office..
Wants a family with him..
Wants to grow old with him…..BUT ..
These words are unsaid….and they always would be…!!!

AAAHHH…THESE LOVE STORIES…
Strange are the ways of the heart..
Unsaid…unheard but always understood (sometimes misunderstood too!!)..

A Page From A Guys Diary

Courtesy: Unknown author

A page from many 'Guy's Dairies!!! Too bad to be true!


Everyone in their lives would have had crushes, and me too had my share of crushes. But, it didn't take much time for each of
them to turn to crashes. None of my crushes took off, or probably they crashed even before they took off !! Today, when I
look back, I cant manage but to have a laugh.


My first crush was on Miss R. I was in my tenth then. We happened to speak only once. It was when I had offered her a coke.
She refused to have it and the very next moment I gulped it down. I still cant forget the dumbstruck look on her face.
A few days later, she started going around with one of my classmates. They used to go for wonderful evening walks,
Miss T, my classmate and her doggy. Unfortunately(fortunately for me), the affair didn't last too long.

On one such romantic walk of theirs, my classmate was bitten by the doggy. He brought up the question : Its me or the dog......
she chose the dog !!! The news gave me sadistic pleasure.


I was in a co-ed school for my 11th-12th. I got very friendly with Miss N in my class. It appeared to me that...yes...she is
the girl. One day, Miss N came and sat next to me...close...really close.....my heart beats shot up. She said.. I want to
tell you something....but please maintain it as a secret. I knew...this was it...yes....she went on...you know...
X(another classmate of mine) proposed me......and I too like him...and I accepted. I am telling you coz you are like
my brother.......WHAT THE HECK ? As if the first news wasn't bad enough, the second sounded suicidal. I looked at her with
an artificial smile and said....Congrats S..S..Sis !!!


The next crush didn't take much time to happen. It was Miss S who walked in to class. I literally had my jaws hanging seeing
her. We became good friends...but I never fancied my chances...given the Miss N experience. She was my Biology project
partner....while she did the project...I concentrated on her biology ! Just as the boards got over, and as I was mustering
enough courage to tell her, her dad got transferred. She changed the city.


Next in engineering college, there was this hottie in my class. Boy....she was a babe...Miss G. She used to stand opposite
to me in the chemistry lab. I prayed for some chemistry to happen between us. But I guess, she was much smarter than I was.
Miss G realised that I used to mess up all my titration experiments coz I used to be looking at her and not the
lab apparatus. I called her out ALONE on my b'day. She turned up with her whole bunch of friends.
The girls kept giggling and I looked for a place where I could go and bang my head. I steered clear of her for the rest
of my engineering days.


Moving on from here, it was a major success story. This time round, it took some time for things to crash....just a
little longer..a bit more than five years. Everything seemed like a fairy tale when the crash factor took the better of me.
By this time, I was in my job and I decided to use the term "interest" instead of crush.


So , my interest grew in Miss L in office. I thought she was a very pretty lady. Thankfully, the growth of my
interest stopped very soon, the moment I learnt that she was supposed to go on leave the next week for her marriage.
She was to marry her long time boyfriend. Only one thought came to my mind....The good ones are always taken !!!


Ha ha ha.....thankfully.....I have grown out of all these......no more CRUSHES.....so no chances of CRASHES......
I live this way now.....hey...wait.....who is this girl???? !!!!!!!!!

Blunders a guy can do!!!

I was just thinking about blunders a guy can do in his life, so today I am going to write about such blunders. I am not going to tell how much of these blunders I have done!!! I think you people are smart enough to guess.

1)
Okay, suppose you are going for the most important interview of your life. At reception area while waiting for your turn to come, by chance you just see a gal; a nice girl, well dressed in a beautiful sari, with light make up, in short in her best possible look. Obviously being a guy your tongue will come out and you will start gawking at her (jaise kabhi achhi ladki dekhi hi na ho – Normally girls tell that right???). Even after knowing that the girl has noticed it few times and she is now getting irritated you keep on drooling like a despo dog. After happily staring at her for half an hour you will definitely forget about your interview, and suddenly somebody calls your name and tells, okay Mr. X you are next person for interview, get ready. Now imagine after adjusting your self back to normal when you open the door for interview, you come to know that the nice looking girl is the HR and she is going to take your interview. What will be your mental condition? Won’t you think “Why the hell I was gawking at this female??” “I mean, they should have put a tag telling she is the HR or she is the interviewer??”
Imagine this scene boss. I can tell you this can be the biggest blunder in someone’s life; he may get rejected before the interview itself.

My piece of advice: when ever you go for some important interview do remember this, “bhagwan harek Vishwamitra ka tap bhang karne ke liye Menka ko bhejta hi hai” :)

2)
Now think about this. You are working with a well known company, which believes in VALUES and gives the highest importance to its employees and their safety. One fine afternoon while talking on phone, by mistake you are entered to a ladies restroom (thanks to building architects for not following rule of symmetry). For the first few seconds you will not be able to understand what is wrong with the restroom, why everything looks so different, why the hell the walls are pink and so on… By the moment you realize that it’s a mistake, some girl starts shouting “Help… help…” How will you convince her that it was by mistake? What if she decides to log a complaint against you (thanks to “anti sexual harassment” policy)

My piece of advice: Never ever do anything else while you are on call

Okay, I will give you some more scenarios…

3)
Suppose you have received the scorecard of your CAT exam; for which you have spend huge money and wasted a hell lot of time. Suppose your score card is telling that you have got some 1 percentile in Verbal section of it and some 10 percentile in reasoning section. Obviously you will be in full frusted mood and wouldn’t like to talk with anybody in the world. Then suppose your meet some of your very good friend online (with whom you share everything), he asks you about your CAT result and you ask him to call you on your cell. At the very same time you get a call and without looking at the caller name you start shouting “hi, I got fcuked up big time dude… CAT screwed me up and some more MAA-BAHAN KI GAALIYAN” and then you come to know that it was not your friend, it was your father who was calling you. What would be your reaction??? Because of your very good image at home and your father thinking that you are a very good boy both of you will try to handle the situation by telling, hello… hello… are you able to hear me? I think there is some problem with the phone line, I think have got some cross connection, Wait I will cut and recall you. It is a very embarrassing situation in a guy’s life when his father comes to know about his son’s knowledge about GAALIYAA (bad words)

Something very similar…

Assume that you are waiting for some of your friend’s phone and at the same time you get a call on your cell from some extension of your office. You are starting with “Ha sale time mil gaya… kar liya tune phone… kaha muh kala karva raha tha ab tak??” n some more ##$$$.... and the first thing you hear from the other end is “hmm Hi, it’s me Mr. Y, can you come to my cabin. And that Mr. Y happens to be your Senior Manager. Can you think of the consequences?

My piece of advice: Never ever start talking on phone before confirming who is on the line at the other end

4)
This one is very common during some social functions, esp Marriage and some festivals like “Navratri” and “Diwali”
Suppose, you are in a group of some 5 guys and all of you are busy looking for hot chicks. All of a sudden you get excited about a gal and start describing about her. Look at that girl in Pink dude…. She is so hot, look at her ###, and so on. And somebody from your group tells that hold on, she is my sister/girl friend/wife. Just think of this embarrassing situation.

My piece of advice: Better not to open your mouth when you are in group or make sure she is no where related with anybody group.

5)
Most of us will not do this blunder but guys who believe in multi tasking one may face this situation.
Assume that you have spent some 3-4 months and hell lot of money just to impress some gal. In spite of all these she is not even ready to talk to you. You decide to do some more fielding for her, and trying to make her friends/roommates happy by treating them (so that they can go and tell good things about yourself). Finally somehow that female agrees to talk to you and you decide a time and call her. After being goody goody on phone, finishing a decent talk finally you call her it was nice talking to you Miss X instead of Miss Y, hope we will go for coffee soon. Just imagine what will the reaction from a girl’s side. (I know boys won’t mind if some girl tells him X/Y/Z but girls are very sensitive about their names)

My piece of advice: Never ever forget somebody’s name while talking with her.

Hope

I hope you always stay...
Like those early days
Hoping we'd be having fun

Nights we spent on phone
In matters of our own
Everything in under the sun

O my sweet sweet friend
Be happy till it ends
No one takes your place
No one, had the chance...
This world has tried
Tears came and dried
And still you're same
Ready for a dance...
Hope it always stay.

I hope to make you say
Whatever you have on mind
Hope together we can find...

Answers that we lost
Fearing the world
Hope it's just a matter of time.

O my sweet sweet friend
Be happy till it ends
No one takes your place
No one, had the chance...
This world has tried
Tears came and dried
And still you're same
Ready for a dance...
Hope it always stay.

(For someone very special)

Credit: My very dear friend..

Words of Wisdom


Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with Rs 86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day; allows you to keep no cash balance; every night deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do with such an account Draw out every penny, of course!!!


Every one of us has such a 'bank'. Its name is TIME. Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off as lost whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft.


Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the records of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against tomorrow. You must live in the present -on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!


The clock is running. Make the most of today!!!

JODHA AKBAR










Just came back from watching Jodhaa Akbar and all I can say is that it's been worth the wait after all those release date postponements and other delays. Brilliant performances from almost all the actors who appear on screen, great production values and stunning execution by the director Ashutosh Gowariker. For those of you looking for some spice, yes, Hrithik and Ash do share a fleeting kiss.


What stands out in Jodhaa Akbar:
A bare-chested Hrithik practising his skill with the sword
His duel with an elephant
A scene where Akbar tells Jodhaa that he can neither read nor write
The swordfight between Jodhaa and Akbar after he goes to Amer (Jaipur) to manao her.
The Sufi number, Khwaja Mere Khwaja
The hand-to-hand combat between Nikitin Dheer (Sharifuddin) and Hrithik (Jalaluddin Akbar)

The lovemaking scene between Jodhaa and Akbar
When he throws a close aide, Adham Khan headlong from the balcony (twice!) for killing Raza Murad’s character, Shamsuddin Atka Khan
The elaborate dance sequence after Akbar annuls pilgrimage tax (Azeem-O-Shaan-Shahenshah)

Ila Arun .. awesome

Some other review snippets:
On the whole, JODHAA AKBAR is, without a shred of doubt, a brilliant film in all respects. This historical has all it takes to prove the first blockbuster of 2008. Very strongly recommended! - Taran Adarsh, IndiaFM

It’s been a long time since I have walked out of the cinema hall with a feeling of equanimity and the asseveration of having just witnessed a film that will go down in history as a classic. History with a heart, Jodhaa Akbar ravages the screen with its royal fest of nobility and catalytic performances , crowning it’s viewers with cinematic glory. - PROJEKT iVIEW, PassionForCinema

Jodhaa Akbar - Ashutosh strikes gold. The characters in the film are so real and leave a heavy impact on you. Only a visionary such as Ashutosh Gowarikar can dare to do such a film. Kudos Ashu!
- IndiaGlitz

Jodhaa Akbar is a spectacular watch. - Rediff

Jodhaa Akbar is a brilliant work of cinematic excellence. Period! - IndiaTimes

Takhliya!!

Show me the meaning of being lonely

Show me the meaning of being lonely
So many words for the broken heart
It's hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me


Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze upon me
Guilty roads to an endless
love (endless love)
There's no control
Are you with me now?
Your every wish will be done

They tell me


Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
[ Tell me why ]
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

There's nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body, and soul
How can it be
You're asking me
To feel the things you never show

You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can't be there where you are


Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
[ You are missing in my heart ]

Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart...

If Karan Johar made Taare

* Obvious starcast:

* Shah Rukh Khan as the arts teacher (duh duh duh!!).
* Aryan Khan as the dyslexic child (even if he could not act for nuts).
* Rani Mukerjee as the kid's mom (assuming Kajol is unavailable).
* Abhishek Bachchan as the kid's dad.
* Amitabh Bachchan as the school principal (who cares if the role is ultra minute, he can afford it).

* It would be shot in New York to appeal to the NRI audience.
* The story line would obviously be different. SRK would fall for the dyslexic kid's mom. The last scene would have the mom running to the teacher rather than the kid. And again, like in so many other movies, SRK would get someone else's girl.
* It would have one dance number.
* The film would be titled 'Kuch Taare Zameen Par.'



If Sanjay Leela Bhansali made Taare

* Obvious starcast:

* Salman as the teacher.
* Rani as the mother.

* Of course the whole film would be shot on elaborate sets. The school would be nothing short of Harvard university.
* An orchestra would play every time anyone cried.
* Slow motion, different camera angles for every scene.
* The school uniforms would match the classroom walls even though that does not make a f***ing difference.
* The film would cost 60 crores.



If Farah Khan made Taare

* Obvious starcast:

* SRK as the teacher (yawn).

* In the original Taare, Aamir makes an entry at the interval point. In Farah's version, SRK would be on screen on for 2.30 hrs out of the 2.45 hrs and would be introduced in the first scene itself.
* The story would be changed to make sure the above happened. The focus of the film would be a teacher who helps a kid fight dyslexia.
* To make it a complete entertainer, there would be a romantic angle, comedy, and action thrown in. Oh idea!! Nikumbh's character likes another teacher and the kiddo helps him.. throw in some comedy moments there and you have romance and comedy settled. For action.. hmm.. lemme see.. oh yah, the kid gets kidnapped and the teacher fights the baddies to save him. Wow!! I'm quite an imaginative writer. I can see how Farah can write a film from scratch in two weeks straight.
* The film posters would have a big SRK with the tiny image of the kid in the background.



If Rakesh Roshan made Taare

* Obvious starcast:

* Hrithik Roshan as the teacher.

* Since Rakesh Roshan cannot think beyond science fiction these days, this film would have that too. Instead of dyslexia, the kid would have alienositis or something, a condition induced due to him witnessing an alien abduction.
* Instead of Nikumbh being an arts teacher, he would be a physics teacher, and instead of asking kids to be creative, he would ask them to challenge the science we know.
* In the scene where Nikumbh asks the kids to open their minds and make whatever they want outdoors, the kid Ishaan, instead of making a boat, would end up making a working spaceship prototype.
* Nikumbh would cure the kids problem by making a full fledged version of the kid's prototype, traveling to the alien planet, and asking them to give the kid his powers back.
* The film would have music by Rajesh Roshan ripped off from some world music.
* The film's name would again start with a K.. probably 'Kuch Aliens Taaron se Zameen Par'.
* The director would make sure Hrithik gets to show all his abilities. This would mean a scene with Roshan jr flexing his muscles, and a dance competition in the end, instead of an arts competition.



If Priyadarshan made Taare:

* Obvious starcast:

* Akshay Kumar as the teacher.
* Paresh Rawal as the kid's dad.

* It would be a brainless comedy. The kid's dyslexia would be made fun of. Half the times the parents will be running after the kid from one room to the other and that, in the director's opinion, would be funny.
* The film will be full of sex jokes. So for example, when Akshay would come to the parents telling them that their son has dyslexia, the ignorant father would say something inappropriate like 'iss umar mein? par kaise, woh to hamesha boys school mein padha hai!'. And yes, the director would think it is funny.
* In the climax of the film all the characters in the film would run around in the amphitheater for no reason, spilling colors on each other. That's where the film will end, without any logical conclusion.
* And of course, Paresh Rawal would emote like an epileptic himself making us question the boy's mental abilities anyway.

Think..

I went to a party Mom,
I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom,
So I drank soda instead.

I really felt proud inside, Mom,
The way you said I would.
I didn't drink and drive, Mom,
Even though the others said I should.

I know I did the right thing, Mom,
I know you are always right.
Now the party is finally ending, Mom,
As everyone is driving out of sight.

As I got into my car, Mom,
I knew I'd get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me,
So responsible and sweet.

I started to drive away, Mom,
But as I pulled out into the road,
The other car didn't see me, Mom,
And hit me like a load.

As I lay there on the pavement, Mom,
I hear the policeman say,
"The other guy is drunk," Mom,
And now I'm the one who will pay.

I'm lying here dying, Mom....
I wish you'd get here soon.
How could this happen to me, Mom?

My life just burst like a balloon.

There is blood all around me, Mom,
And most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say, Mom,
I'll die in a short time.

I just wanted to tell you, Mom,
I swear I didn't drink.
It was the others, Mom.
The others didn't think.

He was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is, he drank
And I will die.

Why do people drink, Mom?
It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now.
Pains just like a knife.

The guy who hit me is walking, Mom,
And I don't think it's fair.
I'm lying here dying
And all he can do is stare.

Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.
Tell Daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven, Mom,
Put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.

Someone should have told him, Mom,
Not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him, Mom,
I would still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, Mom.
I'm becoming very scared.
Please don't cry for me, Mom.
When I needed you, you were always there.

I have one last question, Mom.
Before I say good bye.
I didn't drink and drive,
So why am I the one to die?

Someone took the effort to write this poem.
So please, forward this to as many people as you can.
And see if we can get a chain going around the world that will make people understand that drinking and driving don't mix.
