Nation's new Anthem "ALL ISSS WELL"

Dil se bolo...ALL isss well.

3 Idiots of our nation said these words, “ALL isss well”, means everything is fine. yes here m talking about the most loved movie of the season, of the year, “3 Idiots”. Since its release, this movie is getting rave reviews from all critics and audience however I would like to bring to notice some funny moments shown in the movie which despite being really witty were actually not and have tormented the sentiments of some people.

To begin with let me make it clear that I am a big fan of Aamir Khan and really like the way he works, his dedication, his ideas, love for his work and the message that he tries to put across through his way of storytelling. I was the first one to tell all my friends to go and watch the movie and I myself wanted to see it 1st day 1st show. As anticipated this is a great movie and loved aaaa... laughed watching it at many places. At some instances I stood from my seat and literally clapped and whistled. Unfortunately where it was most liked by youngsters, it may have hurt the feelings of some elders.

Some of the sequences in the movie are absolutely fabulous and the learning which they are providing is worth applauding. The learning and a message to society seemed similar to the message of the movie "Tare Zameen Par" i.e. criticizing our old and backward education system. The perfect learning being, “try to excel in whatever you do and victory will follow you”. Now I am a big fan of this message and the movie and the actors and the director.

We liked the message in ‘tare zameen par’ as it hit direct to its audience and was too the point but in case of 3 idiots it was shown in a different vision. Am myself is of the opinion that in order to clear an examination one need to understand the basic of the subject and not just mugup things – (teaching in the movie). I got low marks in my college despite being a bright student in school coz the subjects in our course required us to cram it and I didn’t like doing it. No Aamir Khan came to my rescue to explain me the basic concepts of my boring subjects.

However following this heroism thought and message of the movie it has shown some sequences wherein fun have been made of some serious issues. Raju (Sharman Joshi) is too hapless in the movie and wants to be an engineer to end all miseries of his family. His paralyzed father, his old and ever crying mother, his 28 yr old unmarried sister and no family income, all expectations from their only son – u feeling pity, don’t be coz this is the most hilarious scene of the movie. I would have felt offended if I would have been in Raju’s place in real life. To all this Rancho (Aamir) is telling Raju to be carefree and learn the basic first before appearing for his examination. As this is the hindi movie so he has to be successful at the end however this carefree and being transparent attitude would have cost Raju a hell lot of things. Everyone is not Aamir Khan or his buddy who could take grievous risks and still manages to win at the end.

In another incidence, Raju and Farhan (Madhavan) while searching for their lost friend Rancho goes to Javed Jaffery. They take Javed Jaffery’s recent died father’s ‘ashes’(asthia) and warns him to disclose the truth about Rancho’s whereabouts otherwise they will put the asthia into the commode. I laughed like crazy but my father felt it in other way. He said there are zillion more funny ways to get the truth out from someone but why they are disgracing the dead.

A movie is a reflection of our society. Learning for many and youngsters, teenagers, kids follow the things that hero is doing and will dislike things that a villain is doing. That’s why hero is shown as a good human being in most movies because there are lot of impulsive and juvenile followers but in the movie 3 heroes (Aamir, Sharman, Madhavan) are shown pissing in front of their professor’s house at night. Do they want kids to get inspired and follow them? They usually get drunk in college at night and then talk wise.

Sometime back, in one of Aamir’s interview on a TV channel he said, “I didn’t like the movie BLACK”. Getting dazed by his statement the journalist asked the reason behind his bold statement to which he replied, “In the movie Amitabh Bachan is beating a deaf and blind kid in order to teach her. Child abuse is shown in the movie which people watching it might follow, which is not right.” I agree but why is he showing serious offence in his movie like pissing outside your professor’s house for fun, youngsters might follow it.

The last scene of the movie was shot in Delhi at “Imperial College” wherein Kareena’s sister is pregnant. Kareena is a doctor, she has a quarrel with her father (Boman Irani) and she leaves her house, far from everyone in disgust. Now her sister is having labour pains. Options are to take her to the hospital but you are mistaken, in few hours rain has poured so heavenly that roads got blocked coz of water logging. No ambulance can come to take her nor Kareena can come to her sister. Now what is the option???think….. our own hero and his friends will do the delivery of the baby. Total filmy... (just few moments before he and his friends were rusticated from the college). At that point I wondered, when the time Delhi was got choked with so heavy water logging that vehicles were not able to move even an inch for several hrs. ok hindi movie, kuch bhi ho skta hai... Now they have everything intact and are ready to do the delivery buutttt hindi movie again electricity went off. He still manages to get the electricity with the help of car batteries. Kareena’s sister is Boman Irani’s (their professor who has rusticated them from college couple of minutes ago) daughter.

So finally baby is born, all kudos to Aamir Khan, the hero (whereas a whole team worked together) but credit has to go to only THE HERO. Boman Irani gets emotional and cancels his rustication orders and gives him his precious pen which he kept it with him for a long time to give it to the brightest student he will ever come across. Great naa… A person with engineering background can now work as a part time doctor. Just wanted to remind you that nothing personal, no one is as big fan of Aamir Khan as I am.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and thought it as a prudent decision of the makers and actors to be a part of such film. But being a true and honest fan, I wanted to bring certain things to notice which most people have missed mentioning. Reports said that “Aamir Khan's "3 Idiots" makes a business of Rs 100 crore in 4 Days‎” (source: http://www.breakingnewsonline.net/bollywood/238-3-idiots-do-rs-100-crore-business.html) and it is sure to make more business and may even break records of all movies made in this genre or this year. Kudos to the team but just be more concerned towards the outcome and impact on society. It has the highest “entertainment quotient” from all the movies I have seen till now.

Couch Potato, A Reality Check...

Well to start with and being precise, this is a blog written on me for self analyses. No I am not self appraising but being a bewildered soul asking myself “what are my hobbies”? This is the question often asked by interviewers before selecting any candidate for a job, “What are your hobbies?” As if they will let the candidate follow his/her hobbies in office. ex. A person likes gardening so he can plant trees in office premises to satisfy his creative urges.

Instead the interviewer should ask “what are the things you like doing which you would never be able to follow while you are with us”.

Such is life for a working professional especially in a private job. Sometimes it seems ages that you had followed what you really like doing. Also if you ask me what are my hobbies then my answer would be hmmm.... let me think. Seriously I dont know what I actually like doing. However must be a bit clear from the heading itself, I like watching TV. I am a big couch potato. Put me in an isolated house, give me TV set (ofcourse colored one) and some food and I can live for many years and can even break all records of Big Boss all seasons put together. But I am scared to do a reality check on what I end up watching.

Once on a chutti day (got an off after a long hectic week), got time after long to switch on TV, cancelled my shopping plans with buddies. Wanted to stay at home and fulfill my eagerly waited wish to see TV for long hours.

So finally was holding a TV remote in my hand. TV switched on... switched to Zee Tv and “Agle janam mohe bitia hi kijo” was being telecast.

Didnt want to torture myself so surfed another channel.

Here came Sony entertainment televison, CID was coming.

I think the channel should change its name from “Sony” to “privately owned by CID”. I like watching the serial but cannot take the overdose. Then it was colors TV, there it was time for "kya hottiiiiii utran". This serial makes me cry coz of its stupidity. What the hell is happening? A girl on her own wish, makes her friend cum sister sit in for pheras instead of her place, to get married to her boyfriend and then she is crying like hell,,, why?????. need a brain storming session to understand this.

Another channel, Sony Max wherein “Sing is Kingg” was coming. They only have one movie that they show every now and then. Have already seen the movie twice on cinema hall…not interested.

Again changed the channel and it was India TV’s turn. They were showing another of their “Breaking News” wherein a small girl residing in a small village got into a pit and was asking for help.

All the reporters standing near the pit were capturing in their respective cameras and was asking us (the viewers) whether this small poor little girl would be able to rescued or not. I wanted to tell them that if you are so concerned then jump into the pit and rescue her or else adopt her when she will be out. But they didnt do any of this.

Then again I surfed and here came most loved serial of all aunties "yeh rishta kya kehlata hai" on star plus (ofcourse it must be a repeat telecast). One married couple is asking the viewers, what is the name of our relationship???? are'nt they husband and wife? Confusing for me!!!

Now time came for "MTV", repeat telecast of splistvilla (I must say that this serial is for weird people who dream of owing fame by doing nothing except bitching).

End up watching this disgusting serial for long 1 hr...phewww... don’t know why.

Again surfed and switched to “Zoom TV”. Wow this one held my eyes but not for long. They were showing the countdown of popular artfilm actors and were praising "Neha Dhupia" for her enigmatic personality and her charm. Ok she is charming but for whom. didn’t understand so switched again to “Star One”. They only have one serial with them "Mile jab hum tum".

The characters are trying so hard to please people with their nonexistent acting skills and trying even harder looking good by applying lot of make up than usual. Channel wale are also proud of this no story line useless serial...no no no no.... switched again and it was HBO. This channel is at the end of surfing on my TV coz our cable wala also knows that this is not to be watched by parents and should be seen under strict surveillance of their grown up children. But to my luck (bad or good don’t know) a sci-fic movie was coming. not interested…

Wat else to watch for... still I didnt switch off the TV. I started it all over again from Zee TV to sony to colors to MTV to Zoom etc. in the hope to land up on a good piece of thing.

Reality check on some serials already on TV: "Big Boss" on Colors (strictly to uplift some forgotten and untalented people on TV). I would call it a social service, bravery award for them. Still it manages to steal lot of eyeballs.

"Lux perfect bride" on Star Plus (please stop this serial of disgracing prospective brides by eliminating them coz they didnt have any connections with 5 dumb boys in front of them).

"Raaz Pichle Janam ka" - After watching this one I wonder, common man in his past life is from small cities of India living in extreme conditions but when it comes to our celebrities they all are from beautiful locales of Switzerland, Netherland and US or are from English speaking countries. Can God be so partial??? Also everyone is human in their past life. No one was insect, cow, horse, elephant, mouse, tree, bacteria, sparrow or dog.
Roadies (can watch it not bad but please dont show people eating shit)
I dont like any serial running currently on TV so what are my hobbiess???? does anyone have the answer!!!!!!!!

Upcoming shows: "Rahul ka swamvar”, I wanted to participate in this one just to tell Rahul my true feelings for him, “u dont know where u r heading. u shd not think of marriage right now and focus on your falling career. Wat you will make ur wife eat???Another swamvar to earn money???? Also one piece of advice for you, stop eyeing for young girls you old man."

I wish I would have gone for shopping with my buddies only :(

dare to pick customer care call, only you are responsible for your hard luck!!!!!

Phew... these customer CARE calls. Do they really care? It is absolutely unfair





Hearing the ringtone and attending the call have dual effects. It irritates some when you are busy but for some its the most soothing voice on earth (for chatterbox). I am a kind of person who hates to avoid anybody's call and gets excited on receiving the call because according to me someone has thought about me before giving me a call. So dont want to break hearts by not picking it.

I am in a kind of profession where I usually get calls which mean business. So here is another reason for attending them. I was happy when I was in college and my pop got an exclusive cell phone for me. Never thought that when I will grow up and become a professional then this cell phone will become a blood sucking creature. My blood is very precious, wanted to donate some more.

These calls from so called CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT have sucked my blood. I get calls from them as early as 6 o clock in the morning and as late as 12 at night. Once at 11 o clock at night when I was dizzy and was about to have a sound sleep then suddenly I heard my cell phone started ringing. The mobile was lying at a distance so I hurriedly rushed there to pick it before it gets disconnected. It was from an unknown number. I thought must be a business call, I picked it and heard "aur is dil mein kya rakha hai... tera hi naam likha rakha hai". Got really pissed off and saved the number as "HUTCH IDIOT". next time will not pick this number.

I had a fight with my boyfriend and was expecting him to call and apologize. Again an unknown number flashed on the phone, I thought that he wanted to surprise me by calling from an unknown no. I picked the phone and it said, "tanhaiiii tanhaiii, dil ke raste mein mene thokar esi khai, tute khwab….” naaaahhhhiiiii. That really broke my heart. Its really embarrassing and in my teens we used to say at such a situation, chopi ho gai means bezzati kharab ho gai (spoilt the image)

Again, once I was in the meeting and client was really irate as why not much work has been done on his account and I got a call, thought may be for the good of this client only. picked it after getting a weird look from him and heard "wheres the party tonight". I thought let me meet you guys then will tell you wheres the party, after beating you in pieces.

Once I was stuck in an overcrowded bus and was feeling really agitated as sweat pouring from all over in this scorching heat, suddenly got a call. people around me was so many that it became difficult for me to reach till my phone. i pushed some, had a quarrel and finally reached my cell phone and picked the call, it said "mere sapno ki rani kab aaegi tu..."

This also happened once when I was in cinema hall and was watching Raaz part 2(Horror movie). the suspense was about to unveil, thrilling moment, all eyes glued to the screen and hearts beating faster than normal. suddenly phone rang. this was the last thing I wanted to happen on earth, when I am watching my favorite movie and receives the call at the climax of the movie. had to pick it. went all the way to exit, stumbled, disturbed everyone and finally picked the call and heard, "jab hum jawa hoge..jane kaha hoge......" cut the phone in disgust, returned to the hall hurriedly to atleast see who the culprit is but my friends said its time now to go out and not come in.

Now it has become a daily routine and have got used to it. I save their number every time they call but they always call from different numbers. Now if the call comes, whether I have rushed hurriedly from the washroom, or have missed other important call on my landline, I always attend their call with a smile and gives answer to each and every query.

PS: have sent request for stopping these calls several times but all in vein. very lazy to register online. That’s why have compromised with the situation HAPPILY.

Guess they follow me everywhere I go because they are happy to help but in which way that is not mentioned....

Every drop counts!!!put a bucket below the tap with little water drops falling from there. the bucket will be full in sometime

Making a drop count.

Since childhood I have been very fond of doing well to the mankind. I know I don’t have best of the heart but still I always had this inclination in my mind to be useful for anyone someday, at least to one individual if not many. However I never used to get a chance to do something really great that people will call it a very humble and compassionate move.

Just to keep you all a bit informed that I don’t look like the healthiest of all. I have a feeble body according to my near and dear ones and I should never think of doing something like donating blood otherwise after taking my blood the doctors will have to donate 2 extra bottles of blood to me which they have taken from someone else.

Once upon a time I was returning home from office and was walking my way to metro station. It was evening 07:30 by my watch. It was all dark and crowded as I was passing the congested roads of CP market. On the corner of the road there was a set up of a blood donation camp (sponsored by some NGO, forgot the name). As I was on the phone so I didn't notice it. One handsome looking guy came in front of me and said, “Mam please donate blood, it will only take 5 min”. Bingo.... this was the moment I was waiting for. I was hesitant as it was late and dark. But still that young guy didn’t have to try very hard to convince me. I went inside the camp and people there told me to lie down on the stretcher. One younger looking guy came and he was looking like an intern. The only thing that made him look like a doctor was the stethoscope around his neck. I asked myself, “is he going to take my blood out of my body?”

I thought to myself, "Now is not the time to back out". I kept lying there and he started to inject me the injection and began the process of taking out my blood into a bottle. During the process he was making me involved in his not so interested talks so that I should not panic however he seemed more scared than me. I saw my red blood was traveling through the pipe into the bottle. Somewhere deep in my hearth I was feeling happy and lucky.

After the process was over I stood up and wanted to rush home but the people there stopped me and told me to take rest for some time. Thank God they stopped me because soon after the process I started feeling like vomiting and I vomited. Everybody who was attending other donors they left them and came to my rescue. Someone holding towel and someone holding plastic bag all came running towards me. After that I vomited again and the process continued... I thought that it was all because of that handsome looking guy. Neither he would have charmed me with his looks nor was I feeling awful after series of vomiting. Everyone started to console me and trying to make me believe that it was natural and there was no need to panic but their panicked expressions were showing some other picture. Anyways I was not scared rather I was thinking that would I be returning home vomiting all over the places. They gave me juice, apple, biscuits to eat for energy booster. I finished two small tetra packs of juices and ate several biscuits. I enjoyed the attention that I was getting. Everyone around me was serving me as if I am the princess who has just landed to heaven. I ate, ate and ate. I wanted to tell them to go and attend rest of the patients who were watching me with glued eyes, but I didn't utter anything. Lagey raho … Lagey raho… !!!

Bahut hogaya pampering and all, time to go. I was feeling better and decided to make a move. They also gave me gift as the token of appreciation. Gift!!!! wow.... Ek baar aur khoon lelo yaar! Gift wrapped in the wrapping paper was so tempting, I wanted to tear the paper right there and see what is inside but...I resisted again. I was feeling dizzy but was also feeling a sense of self admiration, happy and excited. I did what I always wanted to do. It was a great feeling. I landed up home safely and am still alive after approx 1 year of this incident.

So people!! extending your helping hand to others in any way is a feeling beyond comparison to anything. Am not telling you to hurt yourself in the process but world is a small group of people, they should help each other, stay together happy and spread happiness. Staying happy is so much fun. Do good to people and they reciprocate the same with interest.... how??? wait for my next blog.

Ab "Bus" Karo

It is not unusual as everybody like me would have experienced someday or the other, a bus ride. This is the routine of every morning in almost everyone's life. Now that you have earned a lot and go to office by your own car then its a different story. But you would surely be reminded of your early days of struggle.
As I boarded the bus, there was a huge bunch of people standing so I got an idea after watching the over crowded bus that I have no chance of getting a seat. So there I am standing, holding a huge bag bigger than me. As this is supposed to be a white line bus which doesn't have ladies seat. Men also have right to get a seat but watching them sitting and me standing really annoys me. One nice girl seating shifted a bit and offered me a place to sit next to her. I was thrilled by her gesture and happily sat next to her. After I sat, I realized that the space offered to me would not have been more than half an inch.Still considering her feelings I didn't object. I was on the verge of falling down, therefore I shifted a bit and deflected a moment of embarrassment from my life. one aunty was also on the same seat as ours and she gave me a threatening look, as if I dared to shift a bit more, then this would be my last day on earth.she was sitting most comfortably on her seat conquering space of 1 and a half people and giving me threatening looks. God please give me lot of power for just one day so that I can beat this round, huge, bulky aunty. The temperature is rising and sweat is pouring, oh God please find an escape from here.

As I was sitting at the edge of the seat, people passing by were hitting me and was increasing my temperament. A glimpse of thought ran my mind where I wanted to throw everyone out of the bus, especially that terrorist aunty ji. Sometimes I wonder that there are so many people living on this earth and trying to find out the motive of their existence. India got such a huge population.

On top of all this, some Hindi background scores were also played by the driver. I would call them torture songs. They were by any chance were not the best of songs I have ever came across. Funny music and more funny lyrics. Those may be from some B or C grade movies and that too pirated ones. As I was dying to take a nap but considering the fact that the place where I was sitting and the music that I was hearing, I avoided to do that.
I was thinking that the moment anyone stands and leave his seat I would hurriedly rush and grab the place before anyone can do that. Therefore I had an eye on each and everyone seated. People might be thinking that I am making plans to hijack the bus,but who cares as long as I get a seat. Here goes...a person got up and left his empty seat behind. As I was about to take it, one girl came from somewhere and grabbed it before I can even see the empty seat. Chalo no problems, Thank God offices have plenty of seats and atleast in our office we have a permanent seat reserved for us. Ab to office hi jakar bethugi (now I would be able to sit in the office only).

Hurray...... aunty got up(who was giving me threatening looks). I got a full seat to sit :) But But But my destination has also come. I would also have to deboard the bus in couple of seconds. I got to sit comfortably only for 2 min. but those 2 min were like blessing. Jitna mile utna acha (whatever you get be satisfied). Real blessing was that I came out of the overloaded bus.

Conclusion: Buy your own bus and never let anyone sit inside or buy a nano.
