THIS...is inspiration....
THIS...is music...
THIS...is the strength of the human mind...
THIS...is what made me cry last night...
THIS...is Paul Pots
i love music....and the world will not be wrong if they saw me in my car...by myself...and my ipod...and termed be unfit for human contact.
but it rarely makes me cry...
this...had to be it...

games people play....
since the day i was born...i have been observing people. i noticed the mole on the doctor who gave birth to me and the fact that her stethoscope's left earpiece was bigger than the right one..! but then thats not observing people...so nevermind...
i find it as a good pastime...! even mre so when i see some dudes doing stuff that i just dont get...
for instance...picture this...
4 elevators in my office building..! 9am...5 people waiting on the lowest floor to go up...! a gentleman arrives from behind...makes his way through the 5-body crowd...and presses the up button...AGAIN...and AGAIN...!!
wtf was he thinking..! that the 5 of us are long lost buddies who are staring at the elevator walls trying to remember the day we played football in the rain...? or we are just zombies who have been working so hard that we stand infront of elevators wishing and praying that it comes down...u never know...u seee..!!
bugger...!!
and picture this....
mumbai airport...the new delhi flight is ready...all lining up to the bus that shall carry them to the machine of tight haristyled women and emotionally poisoned food...! and there you see Aamir Khan...! note that he is not trying to hide him....so if one has been born in the last year...there is no way that you cant recognize him...
a gentleman...mid 40s...comes up to him...and goes...
"are you aamir khan?"
no sherlock...i am bappi lahiri and i have been gyming for the past 6 months. but the friggin gym was so expensive...(bipasha basu also comes there u see)...that i had to sell off all my gold and thus u see me now in a body tight tee...and jeans...and no gold..
this is worse than the pre-historic habit that has engulfed motherkind...of asking..."tum aa gaye" when she saw er son come back from work...
people...i tell u....

work has been crazy lately....but awesome fun. helping shape the future of media and entertainment in india...and its somehow orgasmic to sit back and think that the room you just stepped out of...after your discussion with the CEO...was witness to something that will change the entire landscape forever...
and u urself will get to witness it...
bliss...
____________________________________
lately i have been itching myself with a lot of b-plans. dont know when and how to take the plunge...cause at some level you know that inaction right now can be suicidal...someone else will surely pick up your idea...and there....gone....
any people who wanna fund me...?

WTF...
this is it....ladies and gentlemen...this is it. mankind has finally found a negative IQ species....and like everything else....this too lies in India...
presenting...
the former human friggin development minister of india...
He viewed that sex education will transform student teacher relation into that of a man and a woman. “I think the government wants to import the western culture of sexual relation between student relation to India,” he said.
He said introduction of sex education was what multinationals did to create the desire for sex among teenagers to sell their products. “It is not sex education. It is education to sell condoms,” he alleged.
Catch the story...at your own risk...
and if this wasn't enough...we have UP teachers (crap...how did Bihar lose out!!)...crying out loud...
"The books on sex education supplied by the government should be promptly withdrawn," "If they fail to do so by July 21, we will be compelled to make a bonfire of these books in public." "We have decided to take this extreme step in the larger interest of both students and teachers," he added.
ummmm...whose interest....again...????
I have an idea...
why dont we get all the politicians together....
actually...you know what...
i give up....

education....crap...!!!!
am a disillusioned person lately...
i have always believed that education is the solution to a lot of problems facing the world today. ofcourse...arjun singh also believes so...but he takes the entire concept a little too far...! and yah...even with a world of only PhDs...we might still have bappi lahiri composing music...and going..."pyaar beeeena chaaaeeeennnn kahaan re....yaar beeenaa chaaaaeeeennn kahaan re..."
anyways..so yeah...education...everyone felt that...and so did i...and i didnt think i was wrong. typically you would have the educated class as the one who thinks the way humans shud...with a constant struggle to educate the society...and 'better' it even further...
and then...my hypothesis was tht people who fall into bad hands are the ones who are vulnerable...who are soft and weak..! imagine a dude...born into a poor family...for him struggle is his destiny...! he will hv to work a lot of things off...to get to a good level in society. some might succeed...many probably wont...
and then will come the easy way outs...the underworlds...the robbers...the petty thieves...the peddlers...
F***...NO....thats not true...!!
"...The first Indian national known to have participated in a suicide bombing outside the country..."
he is a friggin nuclear physicist....a friggin PhD...a product of cambridge university...who had everything working for him...! he had a family that cared for him...a country that respected him....foreigners who trusted and let him in...
and he is a terrorist today....
why dude....why....? what wasnt right...?
why...

its an 'almost' adults blog...
so...its official...your eyes, as of this moment, are witnessing an above 17 blog..! if i hadnt used shit 21 times...or ass 8 times...or my fav word gay 5 times...or omg the friggin adult word slap 4 times...things would hv been very different...
this basically means that if my kids were to be gay...they would ofcourse use the word ass a lot...and will hv to be born 17 directly..!
CRAP..!!
____________________
SecondShaadi.com has generated a lot of press interest..! I had PK calling me frantically informing me of the Indian Express frontpage..! and a google search on SecondShaadi generates quite a few results..!
We are very close to 1,000 profiles now...23% of these are females..and only 15% of these are never married. Which basically proves that the site is automatically attracting the right audience...
BTW...did you know that India apparently has the lowest divorce rate in the world..at 1.1%
but we still believe that the idea will work...! it will...

8.30am
Friday
Mumbai Airport
tringgg tringgg...
hello
haanji sir...u hv reached

at the exit itself...should i go and fetch the car...?
yah yah..plz do...where should i wait...
i will come where the laal peeli start
(figuring out where that is)...alright...i will wait...
After 10 mins
where are you boss...?
sir...right there...can you see the 2 media vans...right behind that...
boss...there are no media vans that i can see...where are you...?
sir...just where the passengers get out...am on the road...directly opposite...
i dont see you dude...ok...am standing right infront of the premium parking
ok..i have gone ahead of that...will come back after taking a round...
another 10 mins...
boss...its been 20 mins...where the f r u...?
sir...right there...premium parking...
yaar...either i am blind...or you dont know the airport well...are you at the jet arrival terminal
sir..i have been coming to the airport for the past 15 yrs...
you are at the domestic airport...rite...?
haan sir...are you at the right airport...
boss...mumbai mein ek hi airport hain...
MUMBAI...???? sir...i am in delhi...!!!!
WTF...!!!!
so...this friday morning...i spent 30 mins of my life trying to convince someone in delhi...that he is in mumbai...!
____________________________
but i give it to mumbai..! cant repeat it enough..but this was my first rendezvous with prime traffic in mumbai. it took me a mind numbing 2.25 hrs to reach the airport frm nariman point. a whole 2 hrs...! in the cab..! hands numb...mind zonked...life paralyzed..! i shudder to think the potential loss in national income that happens in the city cause of simply being on the road driving...when you could easily be working and far more productive than listening to radio mirchi and "pal pal pal frm munnabhai" for the godforsaken 586976th time..!
____________________________
VP and I finally launched our site. We have been working on the plan for the past 2 odd months...! its completely VP's baby and I am simply an external advisor devoting time towards the strategy of the product over and above my fulltime ATK committments. Its been a fantastic ride so far...and atleast for me last thursday, when the product was launched, was a special moment.
for VP though...having handled the complexity of www.desimartini.com already, this was jst another site..!
our business plan...a matrimonial site specifically targetted at remarriage.

my routine browsing this afternoon took me to this show called 'Britain's got talent'...and a certain Paul Potts. at the end of his performance...i was sobbing like a 5 yr old...jst couldnt contain myself. i hv figured that singing has a spiritual connectiong with me. ever since i went to the US...music has become my meditation. unfortunately...my voice can allow me to appreciate it vocally...but i remember when i spent simple hrs...jst listening to music with tears in my eyes...!
this was yet another instance...and totally deserved...(in my limited capacity)

shootout at lokhandwala...
good acting....tight storyline...no time wasted in unnecessary details...not many songs...(can they please do with none!)...and if you ignore the sequence wherein sanjay dutt says no to the bullet-proof jacket when there are atleast 100 rounds being fired at that precise moment...the movie was overall quite good...
but the real question lingered...especially once i saw the parting comments...
but the real question lingered...especially once i saw the parting comments...
- crime in mumbai declined by 70% in the 2 yrs that the ATS (anti-terrorism squad) was in operation
- it was abolished in Jan 1993
- dec 1993 were the mumbai blasts...
the real question...is an encounter a preferred way of handling terrorists, even when you have caught them alive...precisely because their relationships with the 'decision makers' will ensure that they are out on the street the very next day....
personally...i am in favor of the theme...jackshit to human rights and jazz...! they didnt show any mercy when dealing with their business...and we will show none instead...
but am sure the arguments will challenge my chain of thought...let them come if you have any...

crap...where did the month go....
no seriously...where did it jst go.
shit loads has happened in the last month...and each time i reached out the the laptop to blog about it...darn...forget it...how am i kiddin... i jst didnt feel like writing...thts it....! :)
____________________
Media and Entertainment totally sucked me in last month...work was awesome...and painful...long hrs...no social life...weekends jst went by trying to think of how i cud hv used them better....and weekdays jst didnt exist. as my Gtalk status once said..."its like pregnancy...lots of pain but you like what comes out in the end" (courtesy PM)
but tht was then. things changed last week....when we met the client...and he was like...superb...sold...very well done...why dont u start working on the vision now. think of something that has never been done before...
and we were like...WTF
now dont get me wrong...these vision-mission stuff are good...companies hv survived on them...and am sure bal thackeray had one too when he ordered his warriors to storm cafes in protest of orkut...! but after 6 weeks of high rigor...and market interviews and business modelling and what have yous...when one asks you to start thinking of vision...it sucks...
or in other words...the phase of 'intellectual masturbation'...begins...

was reading a newspaper article on the environment day. if the screw up that we humans indulge in isnt enough...the paper had conducted a survey...with some startling results...
witness this...
Q. A shower for 5 mins consumes more water than a bucket of water
a certain section of society (naming them cud hv a bal thackeray lookalike run after me...and i am too young to die!) had 55% replying yes. which is good...! however...45% said no...! whattttttt?????? half the population in that particular area thinks that a bucket of water and a 5 min shower are equal..?????
i really hope that their showers are the ancient ones...u know th sorts wherein some shit dirt particle has blocked all but one pore in the shower..!
there is more...
Q. Brushing your teeth with running water consumes less than a litre of water
55% yes...45% no...and you know what. THE SAME FRIGGIN SECTION...!! what retards live in this world that believe this shit...and screw not jst their life but the rest of the world's too....and then if the government says that we are raisin water bills...go on a violent bandh....kill some people...and continue to bloody brush under running water..
____________________
but then the government is not the best either...
a hate community on orkut gives some bastardos the right to barge into cafes and destroy private property. and if that wasnt enough...the government sets up a committee to decide whether orkut should be banned or not..
why dont we do something simple. create a separate world for them. i know of some reclamation experts...who can easily recreate land on water. there is lots of space in the arabian ocean. lets jst build a sweet sexy world...where guys and girls are never together...15th feb comes right after the 13th...there is no internet and thus no hat communities...and oh...a news channel that always talks of the indian cricket team winning...so as to keep them under control. now that would work..

and hey you guys...tell me something...whenever you apply for a competitie examination...do you call yourself 'general' category...? how are you sure..? can you show me a certificate proving that you are general...! if not...i suggest that you pick up the nearest kerosene tank...and burn your neighbour's cycle. control dude control...the bus will be next...but jst practise before...!
everyone is fighting for a community status dude...i think we should too..!
what...what...national damage...? social inconvenience..? death...? dude...what are you...a moron..??? jst call some news chanels later and ask for an apology. over..!
and hey...if any news channels attempt to cover your violence...dont feel ashamed..! smile right in the face of the camera...
there...now u deserve the general status...jai hind..!

strange thing happened today...was on my way back home talking merrily on the phone...when the traffic cop stopped me. now...i admit...my car is a traffic cop's dream come true. i always talk on the phone...(its a long story why i dont use a handsfree...but hey...am still a nice guy!)...hv dark tints...and play decently loud music.
and plus...i am an honest tax-paying citizen
so this guys stops me...and starts off...2K for cellphone...2K for tints and 1K for pollution certificate. am keeping ur RC...plz come and pay this at the traffic center within 15 days....
whooaaa....hold on mate...! so first...show me the fine sheet...tht states the amt...
he didnt hv tht...
ok...fine...i will trust u on the amt...and am ready to pay it right now. give me the receipt for tht and let go off my RC
no sir...cant do...u hv to pay at the center. we dont accept challans here. this is not haryana law. i will hv to keep ur RC.
give me the number of ur ACP traffic..will ask him abt this law.
dont hv...cant share...
show me ur ID card
haryana govt stopped issuing them in aug 2006...
which means that i too can wear the same shirt / trouser as urs and start collecting moolah...
what do u mean moolah...u think we are here to take a bribes something...
oh u r not...great...so either u take the entire challan right now and give me the receipt..or u jst get the big shit out of my car...
i wont...
fine...let me take you to the traffic headquarters there...we will discuss the matters there...
ok ok..leaving...but get these tints off in 2 days...
Conclusion:
1. Most of these guys...i was later told by a frnd...do not position themselves on the location they ought to be. which is why they dont have those challans books with them. So always ask for their ID...always ask for the challan...and plz use bribe as the last resort...not the preferred one..
2. I did commit a mistake...and i ought to have paid. but i didnt...! and i cudnt care less...because of the way he conducted himself...! dont if i am wrong here...comments invited...

which means that i too can wear the same shirt / trouser as urs and start collecting moolah...
what do u mean moolah...u think we are here to take a bribes something...
oh u r not...great...so either u take the entire challan right now and give me the receipt..or u jst get the big shit out of my car...
i wont...
fine...let me take you to the traffic headquarters there...we will discuss the matters there...
ok ok..leaving...but get these tints off in 2 days...
Conclusion:
1. Most of these guys...i was later told by a frnd...do not position themselves on the location they ought to be. which is why they dont have those challans books with them. So always ask for their ID...always ask for the challan...and plz use bribe as the last resort...not the preferred one..
2. I did commit a mistake...and i ought to have paid. but i didnt...! and i cudnt care less...because of the way he conducted himself...! dont if i am wrong here...comments invited...

spiderman...media and entertainment...and ofcourse..."yeh hai meri kahaani"
i remember this intense conversation PM and i were once having. actually all our conversations are typically intense...which start with me asking him what he does for a living...he cursing me to no end..then trying to explain...and then end with me asking him to marry me..!
so...abt this one conversation...he told me tht i sucked as a blogger. ofcourse this was his personal opinion and am sure that the 2 regular readers of this blog would defend me to no end..! he felt that my blog was inward looking....you know...the sorts which are like..."yeh hai meri kahaani"....i got up...and work is happening...and did i tell you of when i was 6...and then i fell in love...and oh i am getting married...etc etc...
he preferred the outward looking ones...the sorts tht spoke of world issues. ofcourse humor was almost sacsocant...and thus to be used in an honorable manner....i cudnt really understand what he meant when he spoke of humor and honor in the same breath. oh btw...what do u call a sardar who lives underwater...!! Jal-andar singh...!! HAH...! wait wait...there's more...what do you call a sardar who lives and breathes under water...! Jal-andar singh GILL...!! wasssuppppp...!!
yah so...i really dont know what he meant when he spoke of humor to be used in the 'right' fashion..
i agree with him though...abt the inward bit...i do...! which is when i told myself....alrite dude...lets not jst look at the world...(which i do almost to the point of being anal!)...lets hv an opinion abt it too...and let the world know of the opinion. ofcourse to make it humorous...i turned to anecdotal posts...! stories...of my mundane life...experienced by me...but never talking abt me...rather the experience..! it cud hv been anyone...
i admit..at times i had to think really hard to come up with these....which made me doubt the sheer intention of it. was to please someone...or to express myself. i didnt really know the answer...but loved doing it nevertheless...cause it was a form of expression nevertheless....!
and jst when i was on a roll...friggin work came in between. as of this precise moment...i am an i-banker when it comes to hours...and a consultant...when it comes to pay..! and a complete bastardo when it comes to blogging...
that my friends...was my brief explanation for the increasingly increasing duration between subsequent posts..! thank you...

just came back frm spiderman 3. its awesome. i mean...if the goblin wasnt enough...we had new goblin...who basically confused in life....is a loser as it is...and if tht wasnt enough the director decided to give him memory loss.
and then a superduper sand man...who basically cud be destroyed by water....yet somehow managed to cry...and am sure he did pee at times as well..!! imagine what you mst go thru when u know tht each time u pee...u r getting an inch closer to death. and god only help u if u had tht ugly burger on the beach tht evening...and went down with some loose motions the next morning.
so anyways...yeah...there was the sandman...! and then some freaky dude...who am sure was supposed to be an extra in the movie to begin with. but the director made the mistake of capturing him too many times in the 1st half....! he took advantage of tht and held the team to ransom..."give me a better role else i will not act in the 2nd half". ofcourse the character cudnt be jst killed (which btw wud hv made the movie a trifle easier on the head)...and he was afterall jst a crappy actor...so they made him a freaky villian. a monstor actually...! who cud be destroyed by the sound of church bells. ladies and gentlemen..the ramsey brothers have finally got their worth. finally a demon tht is scared of god-stuff...such as the om pendant..or the cross pendant...or the trishul...or simply the hanuman chalisa..!!
but the real villian was spriderman himself. he becomes greedy in the movie...u know...lalchi sorts..! suddenly loves all the admiration...so starts making guest appearances at road shows...! jst like priyanka gandhi...oops...vadra...!! (forgiveness my lord...oops lady)
its 2.45 hrs long....exactly a minute after death happens...to the audience...!
its a crappy movie...plz dont go..!! esp if u like spiderman...plz dont..!

to the class of 2008...wear...sunscreen....!
when DM was promoted to principal earlier this year i remeber him telling me...
"as a manager i got to know your batch closely...cause i was involved with the day-to-day activities of the engagement. however....yours will be the last batch i shall know directly. cause now...as a principal...i will be 'away'..."
that how i felt when the new batch of ISB came in...at some level i would always be away...
i do know some guys in the batch...and have a lot of expectations from them..more so since they happen to be from my high school...! but 4-5 in a batch of 430 doesnt shake a mountain...
anyways...
To the batch of 2008...(with a high probability that most will not even know of this site's existence!)
this year is going to be something you could have never imagined...
...a ride that will leave you exhausted...and craving for more...
...dont let go off it...at any time....
...and wear sunscreen...

association...
i am a sucker for relationships...and i have always told my mum...never fret over anything that can be bought by money. always regret relationships that you havent worked on...
after almost a month...it is these emotions that compelled me to write. (un)fortunately...this wont be an anecdote...surely wont be amusing...so there...dont tell me tht i didnt warn...
the ISB current batch graduated yesterday. a sad feeling...because i know this will be the last batch that i will 'really' know..! and it was nostalgia for me. not just memories of my time...last year...and the sheer deluge of emotions that i faced..it was also the association that i had built with the batch ths year. i am sure i wud be known as the alum who was on campus every friggin month...(yes...i still work for ATK...yes...they still pay me!)
made some really lovely friends...got more respect than i deserved...but most importantly...never felt alien in the batch. i may not know everyone...but always felt home...! the people were all lovely...atleast infront of me..! and i felt at home also because i had spent one of the best years of my life at the very same place...
and then today received the CD for the play that the current batch had towards the end of the year, from SS. friggin hillarious stuff..! it was so awesome going back to those times...and its these times when you realize the imprint you have had...cause of your actions. in your head everything is all fine...cause it was you yourself who enacted the 'real' moments. but...as is always the case...people dont have it all figured..! and thus is created a multiple image profile of the same person....
maybe this multiple image profile allowed me to be different people to different set of individuals...
...maybe this was the basis of my association...
...not just this batch...but my own as well...
ISB Co2007
thanks for being you....i loved every bit of interacting with each one of you...and you shall remain as a special memory...
feeling very nostalgic today...missing the moments...! cause i know it wont be the same again...
life moves on...

the good part about not bloggin for a while...is that you get a feel of your fan following...!
...1 girl reminded me that i used to blog...
...my viewership has dropped 50%...
...i received 37 (yes...thats friggin THIRTY SEVEN...) anonymous comments...in a single day...and some 150 in the past month..."great site you have here...btw check some lesbians babes...and hey...while you are at it...hv u heard of viagra and turkey as a tourist destination...??"
i am actively considering selling my blog to google...!
____________
so my client was narrating his india trip the other day. went to mumbai for some business meetings and the first day was pretty tight with multiple appointments. the flight arrives at 8.30am and its only an hr to the first meeting. so DB tells the driver..."boss...drive as fast as you can...its crucial for him to reach in the next 45 mins..."
now you know how indian drivers are....either they drive at 40 and not an inch more....or if told otherwise...they forget that cars are made of materials that can crush humans....! see...here is my point....dhanno from sholay was the only friggin horse in that scene. so wouldnt have bumped into another...and crashed....and lost a leg...and her tail for life..! but mumbai....DUDE...! you drive at 60 only if you are on top of another driving at that speed..!
anyways...so this driver pays ample attention to the instructions...and makes his way through the traffic...! lo behold...he does manage to reach in time...
client is happy...impressed..! he calls DB and goes..."this guy was fantastic....! he took me through all these shortcuts and small roads...and heck..there was traffic...but hey...he managed perfectly.."
DB is clueless..."shortcuts...?? small roads..??" he talks to the driver...khuspus khuspus...and then comes back to client....
"ummm...well...those are the mumbai main roads...!!"
i rest my case...! arguments plz..???
________________
Dubai is inshallah coming to an end....! been a terrific time...! jst finished with a great piece of work...and its amazing how much one learns about an industry one was clueless about...jst 8 weeks back..!

client situation #615
scheduled for 11am...we reached at 10.40 itself..! i would want to believe that whats i always do...if it wasnt for the cute secretary. its the smile that kills...always the friggin smile....
and then...when the dude has worked for some 18 odd years...why do they develop such a high respect for time. i mean..if the meeting is scheduled for 11...and 2 young consultants are having a happy chat with your secretary..why the hell do u have to come out of your cabin at sharp 11..!!
anyways...so whatever...! 18 yrs of experience...senior guy...! we got his time after multiple visits to the office...and it was only 30 mins. had the make the most of it.
so we start....and he is answering. the setting is quite corporat-ish..! you know...the table that can contain half the earth on it...and there is one old dude on its north. and 2 black-suited morons at its south. if both of us were to lie down and i were to hold on to his feet...we wud still need another body to reach the gentleman.
and whats with these chairs??? who do we hv to sink...and take 'comfortable chairs' to an all new level. not to mention tht the arm rest will rise up to half your thigh...! so u friggin need a forearm of shaq 'o neil's height..!
10 minutes into the interview...! the answers r stunning....i mean...experience oozing out..!! fantastic perspective.
beep...
its his phone...
he starts off infront of us itself. goes on and on..in some god damn vernacular. i cant figure shit...so am jst thinking of what next to ask. the interview seems too high a priority to spend time concentrating on something tht wud take an eternity for me to crack..!
"sorry gentleman..had to take this call..! please...lets continue"
the next 15 minutes flow smooth. good questions...equally brilliant answers...!
"thank you Mr X for your time. We really appreciate this"
"oh no...not a problem at all. I hope I was of help...! some tea?"
"So where are you guys from..?"
"OH i am fromt Delhi. stayed all my life there."
"and you...?"
"I am from kerela.."
now...not that i want to...but i have never seen a person die of shock. i hv seen some bit of it in the movies..but thats all abt it. and i am told that the person freezes...! i mean...he jst becomes a statue.
yeah...on second thoughts...i did maybe see someone die of shock tht day...
"Kerela...??? So you can speak malayam...???"
"yes...i can..."
"OH I AM SO SORRY....I AM SO SO SORRY...I DIDNT MEAN IT...I REALLY AM. I JUST DIDNT MEAN IT...I AM...OH NO...GOD...SORRY...REALLY SORRY..."
"its ok...ok..not a problem at all.."
i am perplxed..!! what in friggin world i happenin. why is tht dude atleast 3 bodies away from us apologizing. and why is this super stud friend of mine acting as if he is jesus...out to forgive the world..! I have no friggin idea...i mean...NO IDEA....FRIGGIN..!!
we step out...and i am like....DUDE...WHAT JUST HAPPENED..??? WHY WAS HE ACTING LIKE THAT...
"remember the call...! he was speaking in malayalam. with someone frm home...i am guessing..."
"...and...???"
"...well....if i recollect correctly he said....these 2 f****** r wasting my time right now...moronic questions...thinking they r too smart..! I will make sure Srini doent grow up to become up...! friggin useless bunch of expensive furniture..."
___________________________________
ISB recruitments in full swing. had gone down this weekend...to a fanstastic time. took 5 super studs...great bunch of people. the tension on campus was scary...! all i could do was go back in history and laugh at my state back then. it all seems so miniscule...so irrelevant...now...
great learning...

issi shauk ka imtihaan zindagi hain...!!
..its the test of this desire...that's what life is...
- Zaaveda Zindagi (Movie: Anwar)
i agree with that...! life..at all times...at each point..is simply a test. a test of how strongly you desire something...how much are you willing to work towards it...a test...each and every point.
so...i sat down the other day...with the music on...! ofcourse..people who can see my gtalk know that nowadays i am on an overdose of urdu stuff. gone back to jagjit singh sorts. and then came atif aslam. friggin amazing stuff. fanstastic lyrics...most of them...and his energy is jst killin. i mean...he is so good...tht at times i wish i cud be this teenybopper...at his concert...shouting at the top of my lungs...atifffffffffff...almost tearing my top off..!!
anyways...
so i sat down the other day...!! and omg...HAVE YOU HEARD ATIF ASLAM...HE IS LIKE...OMGGGGG...
yeah...the othe day...! i was wondering..what are the things that i would work for..! what would life be testing me on...each and every point.
this was my list...
Photography
life...everyday...asks me this...
"u friggin ass..! at a time when you were earning $525 a month...u bought yourself a $750 camera..! you used to cook your own food everyday...because paneer outside used to cost more than milk and vinegar...(ofcourse my time had no value then. notice how i used 'then' to lead you into believing that it does hv any value now..!!)..! so what the f did u with it..! clicked some snaps..! made a moron show at the ISB talent night..! and yeah...never got down to practising..! u friggin ass...!"
i know what i want to do. i want to become angus moon. for those who dont know him...he was the exchange student to isb from UCT GSB, last year (read here). and a professional photographer. not before he earned his living as a consultant. and according to him...he earned much more as a photographer than he did as a consultant (ofcourse with my friggin package i will have to click rajnikanth naked to make up for it...although i do know that clicking bappi lahiri naked might fetch me more!). now thats what i want to do. i just want to leave my job one day...and pick up my camera. and jst go clicking for a yr.
balls..! will never get that courage..! life's a waste..!
Singing
yeah...thats true..! i hv always loved singing...although only 2 people hv heard me do so. only one survived. i do visit the other whenever i get the time..but the friggin asylum closes before my office ends.
i wanna learn singing. i want to sing the song i like...the way they shud be sung. and i want to believe that i did a good job. ofcourse i also know that anu malik thinks the same...so yeah...i also want the world to think i did a good job. which in turns means...i want to sing for an audience one day..!
let see if i pass this test...
Superman
my masi went to singapore right after her marriage. so when she finally came back to india after some 5 yrs...she was this genie...! with magical stuff...!! she had this thing called the VCR...! and this beauty of an invention named TV. and a certain video called Superman II.
each time i met her...which was like once a week or so...she used to make me watch it. without fail. till i reached the point wherein i visited her almost everyday...jst to watch it. the movie was my sholay..!! i knew each dialogue..(or atleast i thought..heck..i was in 3rd grade..and the movie was english!)...! ofcourse...growing up..it was easiest to blame masi for most of who i was..!!
hah..! i used to go to temples and pray to god...to make me superman. and i remember telling god...i promise i will use my pwers for the good..!! i am sure that used to be god's stand up comedy hour...!! he wud invite jesus and mohammad...and indra (if he was free from his boogie-woogie dance performances) to view me...and would go..."listen to this friggin ass...wants to become superman..he is too funny..!!"
but i want to become one...whats wrong with that. really..! i get a kick when i do somethng for someone...wthout the person knowing its me. he jst knows its someone..! it cud be anyone..! and thats superman for me. u hv the power...but never the identity. you dont exist...and yet you do..in the most powerful manner possible..! and its an addiction for me..! the 'overly involved' me..!
ofcourse...they stopped making red underwear...and my blue pants are not the best fitting. but i can manage..!
so there...u hv Mr. blue pants...who can friggin sing....and flies arnd with this camera. yup...that's me..!!
that's who i wanna be...

- Zaaveda Zindagi (Movie: Anwar)
i agree with that...! life..at all times...at each point..is simply a test. a test of how strongly you desire something...how much are you willing to work towards it...a test...each and every point.
so...i sat down the other day...with the music on...! ofcourse..people who can see my gtalk know that nowadays i am on an overdose of urdu stuff. gone back to jagjit singh sorts. and then came atif aslam. friggin amazing stuff. fanstastic lyrics...most of them...and his energy is jst killin. i mean...he is so good...tht at times i wish i cud be this teenybopper...at his concert...shouting at the top of my lungs...atifffffffffff...almost tearing my top off..!!
anyways...
so i sat down the other day...!! and omg...HAVE YOU HEARD ATIF ASLAM...HE IS LIKE...OMGGGGG...
yeah...the othe day...! i was wondering..what are the things that i would work for..! what would life be testing me on...each and every point.
this was my list...
Photography
life...everyday...asks me this...
"u friggin ass..! at a time when you were earning $525 a month...u bought yourself a $750 camera..! you used to cook your own food everyday...because paneer outside used to cost more than milk and vinegar...(ofcourse my time had no value then. notice how i used 'then' to lead you into believing that it does hv any value now..!!)..! so what the f did u with it..! clicked some snaps..! made a moron show at the ISB talent night..! and yeah...never got down to practising..! u friggin ass...!"
i know what i want to do. i want to become angus moon. for those who dont know him...he was the exchange student to isb from UCT GSB, last year (read here). and a professional photographer. not before he earned his living as a consultant. and according to him...he earned much more as a photographer than he did as a consultant (ofcourse with my friggin package i will have to click rajnikanth naked to make up for it...although i do know that clicking bappi lahiri naked might fetch me more!). now thats what i want to do. i just want to leave my job one day...and pick up my camera. and jst go clicking for a yr.
balls..! will never get that courage..! life's a waste..!
Singing
yeah...thats true..! i hv always loved singing...although only 2 people hv heard me do so. only one survived. i do visit the other whenever i get the time..but the friggin asylum closes before my office ends.

feb 2006...
i hv given a lot of tests in life...won some...failed some...but what i remember most about them is not the result but the experience. i was on campus last weekend and in one of our conversations AS mentioned that he went to my blog in feb 2006...to see what it was like...
the campus wears pretty much the same look as it did last year. the vulnerability of each is clearly visible...people are at their emotional weakest...! mental strength is sought at each stage...and its a beauty of life how each one of us manages to find their source...in their own way..!
it was a learning experience...ofcourse where i am today also makes it a memorable one..but thats largely besides the point. i would have still emerged more 'developed' irrespective of the result...
i used to maintain a daily log of my activities at ISB....and i went back to it today. before i realized i had spent 2 hrs on it...remembering my life in tht part of SVII.
cudnt help but share the following:

never again....
this post is not for the faint hearted...or people who have never been to a public loo...!!
______________________________________________________________________________
ever been to a debate...?? the good ones...always define the motion infront of the house. even if the motion is "bappi lahiri is the sexiest person alive..."...they will spend painful minutes describing what their definition of 'sexiest', 'person' and 'alive' is...!! which is actually an impressive way of wasting time and still coming out intelligent.
so...here is my definition.
any loo that as been used (by an absolute majority) by people i have never met in my life...is a public loo...!!
i dont know if its just me...but i somehow cannot shit in a public loo when i know that people whom i know are around. best example would be office. i can never...ever get myself to sit on the pot and ease myself...
the only thought that crosses my mind is...
Shit (diffrent from the real shit!) man...i will shit...it will stink...next person comes in...and HE WILL KNOW THAT I SHAT THERE...!!
and...what the f is with these new loos whose dividers do NOT go all the way down. i mean...what in friggin world are they thinking...that the only way we will get to knw that its occupied is when we see the shoes, pulled down trousers and hairy legs of the guy on the pot...??? would a simple try at the door be enough...!! or was it that the inventor had a case wherein the person knocking refused to believe that there was someone inside until he saw one...!!!
friggin morons...!!
anyways...so i am at this restaurent...the other day...!! and i clearly remember that i eased myself in the morning. and i didnt eat anything that could have led to another visit...!!
but i had the feeling...and you know how it is...
mauth aur moot...jab aati hain...tab aati hain...!
(ofcourse...we r talking abt shit here...but u get the point!)
so...after much decision making....i was like....chuck it man....ab to karna padega...!!!
and i enter this 1x1 feet room.
which not only has a pot and a wash basin...it friggin has a urinal as well...!!
NOW WHO WOULD BE SHITTING IN A PIGEONHOLE...WHEN SOMEONE IS LEAKING BESIDE YOU...?????
but no...gay marriage as legal and so are such toilets...!!
aaah...and not to mention...it had a hand dryer as well. which makes up for the first part of the story...
the loo is so so 'huge' that the minute i sit down on the pot...the hand dryer gets activated. i move my arm..and it goes wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...i move my head...and the same...!! it was so bloody small that i am sure my breathing process would be causing vibrations strong enough for it to get activated as well....!!!
well..so life is not always fun. after some 5 minutes...its done. and i ready to wipe all possible clues that i ever shat...!!
now...i know i have stayed in the US for a long time...! but heck....i will never ever wipe my ass with paper for god sake...! its just not happening...
so luckily for me...there is a nozzle. and its strategically pointing towards...u know what...
i find the knob...and turn it arnd.
no water
turn more
nothing
little more
nope...
turn it all the way....
PHOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
so...now if you can imagine...everything bad that could possibly have happened..had happened. my undies were all wet...and so was my jeans...!! and there was water dripping from my ass the way it never had...!!
but...the worst was yet to come...
i get up...count till 10...actvate the dryer a million times in the process...and get myself together....
flush...
no no...wrong gues...the flush worked..!!!
the friggin shit wont move...!!!
why gawd...why....why me...and my shit...out of all...!!!
flushed again...
nope...
yet again...
nope....
now this is where sound decision making will make the difference between a winner and looser. or a "all loos are the same" and "public loos...no no no no nooo..."
i wont go into the details of how i emerge victorious...(oh yes..i did)...! but to give you a hint...once i came out...i told the manager..."you may want to change the cleaning brush..."
friggin public loos...!!!
never again...
and hey...remember the time when the air hostess says
"in the unlikely event of an emergency landing, please adopt the brace position"
here is an addition they might want to consider
"in the highly likely event that your neighbour decides to take his shoes off when his socks havent been washed for a week...please ask for our highly successful wet tissues...wipe your hand crazy with them...and adopt the manoj kumar position"
but friggin public loos..
never again...

balls of steel...
no no no no no....busy....heck no....
ummm...yeah...vacationing...and hence lazy....more like it...!! not that life stopped...so hv a lot to share...so much that i hv forgotten most of it...
Solstice
Cudnt have asked for more....it was jst perfect. everything abt it...! meeting everyone again..walking down those roads again...as if you had never left...spending time doing just about nothing...! it was bliss all over. i guess the only thing that i like about work is the fact that i can now afford to fly kingfisher frm hyd to delh...instead of air deccan. its another case that i flew indigo...! but u get the point..!! student life...no matter what said and done...and no matter how many friggin assignments...is still far better...! and i hv been saying this right from my MSU days...!
the following month seems to be ISB travel month. Will (hope to atleast) visit it atleast 3 times before the final placements. A is getting married this 28th...so plannin to attend that too...!! wuuuhuuuu
New Years
Now...dont get me wrong here. Its not always that a consultant will get 10 days off...in the middle of an engagement. but things worked out. for the better. yes...i was working...frm home...so things werent as tight as they are once in Dubai. so had an awesomely chilled time. wonderful...! and yeah...the NY party was great...and i hvnt seen as much fog as i did tht night..!! it was crazy.....my left hand kept shouting....where the f is my right hand man...!!!
Misc.
Yesterday I met the weirdest guy in the history of mankind. in some loose sense i would also call him the man with balls of the hardest steel
so its airplane waiting time at the airport lounge. and the test is placed sexy. with another 70 runs to win and 4 wickets in hand...it could have gone any way. and kumble was bowling like god...so everyone was hooked on. there is this sweet 32 inch LCD screen...with all the sofas in front. however...there is one which is right below the LCD...facing all other sofas.
now i do understand that some people dont like cricket. or lets say dont enjoy it as much. and thats fine...seriously. i think they should just change their nationality if they are indians...or continue to live with a foreign passport...and they will do just fine.
but no...this gentleman...indian...in his 50s maybe...decides to show the world his mind. so when some 50 odd souls are watching the screen...following the match...he enters the lounge...and sit on the sofa right below the screen. so now...he is facing the entire crowd...!!!
dont miss this historic moment in history people...! there is a screen with decent volume...and almost everyone is wathcing that. and there is this dude...who is facing everyone...and looking right into their eyes...
and then he does it...the act that will catapult him to the hall of fame. he shakes his head....left to right...and goes....tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk....for almost 20 odd seconds.
HE WAS FRIGGIN PITYING US...
one half of my brain was giving his a standing ovation...the other was imagining the plight of his kids at the loss of their father...!!
crazy....
and surely balls of steel....
but what was he thinkin...???

orgasmed again...
at times i wonder what my mum will hv to say about my blogs...and the number of times i use the big O word...!! my guess is she will be shocked at the fact that i know about the word...let alone using it every second line...
anyways...
my current client had participated in this huge international exhibition by the name of cityscape. we particpated (and had quite an awesome stand...including the hostesses..!!)...and had roped in a photographer for the entire 3 days duration.
for the entire 3 days....i had a ball with him. went through a crash course...and loved the fact that there were shit loads of stuff that i wasnt even aware of...!! and tht gives me a kick...cause i know that i work on those and i will be better than what i am...!! ofcourse...it wud hv been tragic if i got to know that i know everything that there is to it....and still click the quality that i do....which wud mean tht i suck...!!!
after cityscape the engagement happened....(yes..if you havent read the dec edition of TIME...this will be news!)...and hey...am talking abt my engagement...yes...yes...me...!!!
it went well...everyone was happy...tht includes me...and the parents of all delhi girls...!
came back...and will be flyin to ISb this weekend for the reunion...(WUUUHUUUUUUUUU)...but...my latest learnt talent will be put to use...! so got myself some sexy professional rolls...and a new set of batteries...! had intentions of clicking at will when on campus...
things were to change when i loaded the film on the camera yesterday. i jst cudnt resist...and for the next 2 hrs jst played with my camera like never before..! its funny how a material thing can bring you so much pleasure. i mean...alright..a dildo wud fit in the same description..but this is a camera i am talking abt...!!
fascinating stuff....!
