The Good,The Bad,The Ugly

2.Nobody can teach you to be brilliant at verbal section in CAT :)
3.Quants is something that can be worked upon.
4.Everybody is unreasonable at one time or the other.
5.Sometimes not carrying an umbrella when it is raining turns out to be more pleasent than imagined.
6.The best things in life last for just a few moments(after that it becomes routine).
7.A leader is not just a person who takes initiative,but also knows when to take it.
8.Junk food may not be good for your health,but is definitely good for the mood.
9.The moments when you recognize someone but are unable to recall his/her name are pathetic.
10.It is futile running after someone/something which moves faster than you can.
11.'Love in the times of cholera' is an overrated yet awesome book.
12.Johnnie Walker has the most fantastic slogan ever coined 'Keep Walking'.
13.The things that you want the most are mostly the most expensive,the most difficult to obtain or already the most sought after.
14.The 'human factor' can always end up screwing things,so better only take up things where the only human involved is you.
15.I am on the verge of becoming a dragon,i.e-have fire in my belly.
16.It is four years exactly to my taking admission in TSEC,being trapped in the 26/7 deluge and frantic messaging to everyone close,thinking that I was going to die.
17.I will be back..just like Arnie!

In Your Hands...

My fears you seem to gauge,
It's already time to get on the stage,
The world is an audience to this show,
I'll try my best,I want you to know.

You really don't need to fret,
In your hands I am but a puppet,
Go on till the strings don't break,
Go on till your hands begin to ache.

You lift me up,bring me down,make me go around,
It's hard to express anything,when you can't make a sound,
The world laughs yet I love the moments together we spend,
In my head I keep on praying they never end.

Without you I am just so incomplete,
I can't wave my hands,cant stand on my feet,
I'll be with you,whatever life brings,
Though the only thing joining us are a few strings.

But when I get old,me somebody will replace,
But in my life,it will be hard to fill up your place,
You made me what I am,gave me a voice,
I'll let it be this way,if given a choice.

The show is over,the applause grand,
It's all for you,not for the puppet in your hand,
It's my fate,by you I can never be wronged,
I am back in dusty corner where I belonged.

Just imagine if a puppet could actually think & feel;the beauty is that it can be interpreted in human terms as well,though it could have come out a bit better,but it's still pretty decent.Hadn't written anything serious for a while.God!Why couldn't you bless me with some other talent?!!

Rage against Age

As a kid running around in a multi coloured shorts and a mickey mouse t-shirt around the home all day,all I could want,was to grow up.Get the freedom,enjoy it,abuse it and in some rare moments perhaps put it to good use.As years keep passing the yearning to grow up keeps reducing and now i have reached a stage where I wish I was something like Benjamin Button(or perhaps his desi version..Potli Baba).It's not as if I don't like the freedom,but I guess even a responsible person doesn't like responsibilities,how can I?There is more to cope up with,more to handle yourselves,more complications and yet the things that make you happy keep gettin lesser and lesser.So damn unfair!!Here's how growing up has been:

Circa 1997,I am 10-happiness is all about playing cricket,videogames and running and climbing terraces and walls.Sadness is perhaps just being whacked by my mom

Circa 2000,the corruption starts-slowly and steadily you are becoming a part of the rat-race,though the ideas of love is probably limited to having a crush on Priety Zinta.Thoughts of career are still pretty vague..it's engineer today,lawyer tomorrow,armed forces the next but getting wet in the rain still makes me happy.

Circa 2003,the dark forces have got me-10 boards,I am officially a part of the whole circus.I am sure I am in love(though I don't know what it is!)...I leave the small pond and enter the big lake(come to Mumbai)...get a bit lost..leave the only chick who I liked who liked me(someone's kaala jadoo for sure)..impressing people becomes an action and not a result.

Circa 2005,the chemical romance begins-the bloody competition,it kills..though I ended up with 6 admits and perhaps picked up not the best one.I take up something as a probable profession just because I liked it,no other thought.Start of the major ass kicking days.Start boozing just to prove that I ain't a nice guy(the thousands spent and for what?though beer was the only good thing to come out of this phase.One of teachers back in 6th told me it was good for health and I was scandalized at that time,she has to see me now!).Career becomes a reality,not a figment of childhood fantasies.I start noticing that nearly half the world is of the opposite sex.

Circa 2009,Keep walking-I don't know how and in what direction my career is gonna shape up.I dont know if I like someone.I don't know how anything is gonna shape up and miss the days when I could change my profession everyday according to my whims and fancies,happiness was just about being graded 'Good' by the teacher,sadness was just having a silly fight with your best friend,love was just liking someone and being with them.

As we grow up,our tendency to be hurt,to hurt,to be scared,to feel lost increases while instances of being happy,doing something nice,being selfless,to forgive,to trust which I thought would increase,keep on reducing.

And yet as long as I can see a kid and smile,I know it's worth giving my best shot.

Ooooooooooooo.....

Run people,hide wherever you can,
The end of the world is nigh,
Just as devastating as Shivji's teesra netra,
is the nasal voice of Himesh Bhai.

Some believe he's delivering a coded message,
when he starts every song of his with 'Ooooooo',
It could be from a lost civlization,but NASA,
believes it could be from some other galaxy too.

But the truck and rickshawalas got a new Beethoven,
Altaf "tum to thehre Pardesi" Raja's days are gone,
You might have even got a free ride,
if you could even attempt to sing along!

For extracting information from unwilling people,
investigators found a new torture technique,
Make the guy listen to Himesh for an hour,
And just like Navjot Singh Sidhu he'll begin to speak.

His movies insult human sensitivity and dignity,
the Human Rights Commission has let HimeshBhai know,
he puts public at an even greater risk coz' seeing him act,
Even KRK(of deshdrohi fame) and Sonu Nigam feel they are Al Pacino.

But you've gotta give him credit,
He took sales of caps to a new high,
and some believe we got the nuclear deal from US,
in exchange of a new WMD,our very own Himesh Bhai!


WMD-Weapon of Mass Destruction

Himesh Bhai rocks...n I loved karz n aap ka suroor..best comedies of their respective years!

If Women...

This might appear to be insane,
But for once just try to imagine,
What if Adam was the one to bite the apple?
What if the world was run by women?

The Rashtrapati Bhavan will become Rashtra’patni’ Bhavan,
& the Parliament might be painted pink one day,
Shilpa’awesome figure’Shetty will become the Health Minister,
& the Bharat Ratna might go Ekta Kapoor’s way!

National policies won’t be discussed at Cabinet meetings,
But gossiped about at ‘Kittie parties”,the Prime Minister keeps,
Petrol & cooking gas prices might hit the sky,but,
accessories,designer wear and make-up products will definitely be sold cheap.

Flying vehicles will be invented much faster,
‘Coz women driving on roads is equal to jams,accidents & fights,
& its very understandable not to be ready on time,
So ‘Right To Be Late’ will become the latest Fundamental Right.

Bitching & gossiping will never be looked down upon again,
If you said “She’s ugly”,no need of guilt or shame,
Hockey,cricket & football will be prohibited,
Shopping will be our National Game!

Deols,Schwazenegars & Stallones will be out of work,
as all action movies would be banned.
& men would be forced to watch only romantic movies,
till they can cry with women while holding hands.

Punishment for hurting women will be made so strict,
that even forgetting an anniversary,will give guys nightmares,
Breaking up might lead a guy into the prison,
& cheating might land him up in the electric chair!

Well this idea is food for thought,
Though it appears funny on this blogspace,
I am pretty sure if women ran the world,
It would have been a much better place.

Disclaimer-Resemblance to any woman,living or dead,is not purely co-incidential :)

I have mentioned a couple of cliches..I know women can drive well,they aren't always late and even men like to bitch and watch romantic movies...but the intention here is to just have a laugh without demeaning anyone...n honestly I do feel women would do a better job of running the world...for one there wouldn't have been a Bin Laden or a Bush!
