Good ol' days!!!

Gone are the days when people used to ask you "U promise not to tell anyone???" before they could tell you something.

They now ask "U promise you wont put this on your blog???"

PS: This actually happened to me last night while i was out boozing with my friends.

Movies and Life!!!

The apartment complex that I live in is a semi-posh complex and as expected most of the occupants are IT professionals.

Now after having spent over a month with my new organization, I have realized that there are some faces who I see both @ apartment complex AND @ work.

The most interesting part about these familiar faces is that its a mixed group. While men do acknowledge each others presence with a smile or a "HI", women tend to pretend as total strangers, at least @ home. Maybe they want to play it safe which I totally respect. But How do you go about people who don’t know that YOU also stay in the same apartment complex. It’s a tough call. Especially when the person in question is a lady and even more when the anti-harassment policies are still fresh in your mind.

So this particular female not only shares the same company, the same building(it’s a huge campus btw) , the same floor in that building but also the same cubicle.

Well technically she sits in the next cubicle but neighbor is a neighbor I guess.

Not only do I see her @ work, I also see her standing outside the apartment complex waiting for a public transport. While she waits for the transport vehicle, I vrrrom pass her with my wife.

So I sometimes think (not wish though) to myself that someday If she is waiting for the public transport and If my wife isn’t with me, I will ask her if she wants a ride to office.

Just like it happens in the movies.

Aint nothing wrong in that huh!! Just being a Good Samaritan..that’s it!! And There ARE days when me and wife have different login timings but those are the days I don’t see her @ her “usual” spot.

Life is so different from movies.

Joint Effort!!!!!

SPLITSVILLA

Two continents, Two countries, Two of my friends and one me.

You sometime tend to get stuck into a situation where you dont know how to react. You so get into the situation that you feel SPLIT. Yesterday brought one such moment for me. One of my friend in US was finally seeing his loooong time dream come true. Finally all his plans were rolling into action. Finally he was going to be the man of the moment. Finally this one day will make him forget about all the pain and turbulences he had gone through. I wish i could be there to celebrate this moment with him.

I did my part though. Part where i hung out with beer and whiskey and said cheers to him.

The other part of me, however, was sad. Sad cuz my best friend in town was going to US for couple of months. Even though i was excited for him and even though i was excited on the prospect of him getting me stuff(read shoes) a part of me was still SAD. I dont know. Maybe cuz some people play so important of a role in your life that you start hating your life without them. You would like them to be around. ALWAYS. Around, where you can see them, hear them laugh, hang out with them. Its like they become a part of your comfort zone. But like Le Chatelier's principle says, when you disturb the equilibrium, there are counter-effects. And im sad/worried about those counter effects. Anyways i sure hope that he finds this trip as challenging as he found his last one.

I did my part though. Part where i hung out with beer and whiskey and said cheers to him.

Maturity!

Its a funny word. Everybody wants everybody to act mature. But the reality is people expect their juniors to be more mature than their seniors or peers.

Talk about some double standards huh!!!!

When in Rome, Act like a roman!! :)

Picture is worth a thousand words ....Aint it?!?!?!?!?! :)

Oye Music Music Oye!!!

Well this is one movie that has got it all. Evidently, im obsessed by this movie. And like any other obsessed man, i turned towards Google for help. And what do i found?!?!?! Lyrics to one of my favourite songs from the movie "Tu Raja ki Raj Dulari" . Hope you will enjoy this.

Tu raajja ki rajdulari… main sirf langotte aala sun,

bhaang ragad ke piya karun main kundi sotte aala sun.

Tu rajja ki chhori sai, mhare ek bhi dasi das nahi,

Shawl dushalle odhan aali, mhare kambal tak bhi paas nahi,

Tu bagga ki koyal sai, yadde barf pade hari ghaas nahi,

Kis tariya jee laagge tera, shatranj, chopad, taash nahi,

Kisi sahukaar sai bhyah karwa lai….

Sahukaar sai bhyah karwa lai, main khalis totte aala sun,

bhaang ragad ke piya karun main kundi sotte aala sun,

Tu rajja ki rajdulari… main sirf langotte aala sun,

bhaang ragad ke piya karun main kundi sotte aala sun.

Main dhoone mai tapya karun tu aag dekh ke dar jaagi,

Rakh ghol ke piya karun mera bhaag dekh ke dar jaagi,

Sau sau saanp pade reh gall mai naag dekh ke dar jaagi,

Taandav naach kare bann mai rang raag dekh ke dar jaagi,

Tane julfan aala chhora chahiye….Julfan wala chhora chahiye,

main laambe chotte aala sun,

bhaang ragad ke piya karun main kundi sotte aala sun,

Tu rajja ki chhori sai, mhare ek bhi dasi das nahi,

bhaang ragad ke piya karun main kundi sotte aala sun.

This is a haryanvi folk song… in fact a ragni. The context is the argument given by Lord Shiva to Parvati, who was desperate to marry him. Lord Shiva has been quoted as describing her the way he lives
