3 Idiots, My take - (PART 1)

Image
Pre script :- Hmm.. Bollywoood has seen so many stories about friends, specially guys and that too three guys... Hera Pheri, Hey Babby, Phir Hera Pheri and many others with 3 idiots being the latest on the list.... But never ever there has been a story on three girls who are friends.. not just friends..very good friends...I just thought of writing something in that line and this is a true story... All the characters and places bear resemblances to people alive.. :P This series dedicated to my lovely, really sweet & great friends Binal and Damini.. Love you both and thanks for being a part of my life ......... :) :) This has nothing in common with the movie, the title declares.... Sometimes, looking back at time now, I think we were destined to be togehter since the first day of our school..In the same school and same class... when we did not even know the meaning of friends and friendship, I and Binal shared the sweet days of school, right since nursery.. I guess I dint know

Some days ago, I was having a chat with a friend and happened to comment that boys never clean up their ward robes.... Over this he immediately said, "No gender bias...!!Its just that some of my things are not in place these days... Else otherwise I always have things on place...!!" I immediately had to eat back my words.... I Realize that I should not be generalizing the facts for all guys.... Some days later, in the midst of some conversation....... He Says "Girls are always confused...." On hearing this the first thing that comes to my mind is "No gender bias...." (But I don't say that because I gave it a thought n here is what I thought in the due course.....) Girls are always confused Is this a statement/fact...?? An exclamation..???!!!?? A question..?? I don't know....or to put it better 'I am confused'...!!!! I have usually found that I get confused with many things. In fact the more I think about a thing and analyse the sit

The City that never DIES..!!!

The day started seeing the first page of the newspaper in Black ..... Yes, it was on this day that the terrorists left a black mark on the history of this city... A mark at places that gave the city a distinct identity... A mark ... A terror in the minds and hearts of the city and the country..... Black was the colour to mourn for those who were the victims of the cruel act...... This day, last year had been a bit different for me and the event made it all the more unforgettable....!! I had a holiday that day due to some thing.. I don't recollect what.... But just got to know it the night before... So we planned to go for a movie.... With the place and time finalised, I went to sleep. In the morning, when I woke up, my parents were still asleep. So I could not tell them about my plans for the movie... I left as usual for college.... First time I had been for a movie Bunking at home .......!! While at the movie, my Papa was calling up repeatedly. At first, I did not receive the cal

The Act...!!!!

Image
“You are my happiness… You bring joy to my life... Even thinking about you brings smile on my face…. I love you, would you marry me..??” Saying this, he went down on his knees before Sheetal , held her hand and brought out a ring from his pocket. “Perfect…!! ” snapped Sheetal. "I want the same expressions tomorrow on stage. It’s good to have an actor like you. No one can perform this as naturally as you can…” “Hmm….” “Be on time then. Bye.. ” she said hurriedly and left. L eft before Aman could say that he was not acting.

Wait....!!

I called up my brother last night to ask where he was, as he was late.. His cell was busy.. My call on waiting.. Tried again after 5 minutes... Again on waiting...!! He called up after a while, "Could you not wait on the line? I was going to receive your call..!!" Of course I had been waiting. Waiting for him to answer... And he asks me to wait more..!!! WAIT .... one four letter word but definitely has wider presence..!! We all wait for something or the other. Sometimes it is conscious waiting, sometimes we do not even realise we have been waiting..!! Right from the time we are born, yes even that minute is awaited by our parents, we keep on waiting and waiting and waiting...... For me, time does not seem to pass while waiting... I always end up looking at my watch just to find the hands moving at a snail like speed..!!! Just a small....wait...not small...just a list of situations where I wait- In the morning, wait for my eyes to open..... I get ready and wait for the lift

The Call

Image
For the seventh time, he dint answer her call because he was angry at her for not calling him throughout the day. The next morning he got a call from the police saying that the girl had an accident last night while driving using cell and his number was first on the recent call list..!! ******* P.S . : This is my first attempt at writing 55 fiction, a form of fiction to be completed within a limit of 55 words.Its really challenging to complete the story in just 55 words. I found it interesting and so decided to give it a try..!! Do let me know how it was and if there are any suggestions for further improvement.!!! My inspiration for this was my blog mate Shruti ..!! Cheers to you yaar , you write fabulous stories in just 55 words..!!!

Some BEST Moments..!!!

Image
Sharing some of the best moments of my life.. Best not as best actually but as some moments of my journey on the BEST Buses in Mumbai... I generally start my day with a journey by bus to my college and right from this time things start going wrong..... I mean the day when I am on time the bus is late and on the days when I get late by even a minute, the bus is on time and it is gone too.......!! Then I have to wait far another bus for around 15 minutes or find some other option...!! :( It happens with me always.....!! Travelling is always the best when I can grab a window seat and the stop near my home being the first stop, finding a seat is never a great task..!! But else otherwise finding a good seat(good because some seats are worse than standing too... specially the last seat... Seems as if you are on a roller-coaster ride, specially due to the well maintained roads in Mumbai) is not easy. If you are in a mood to listen to a lecture in the morning just try giving the conductor a

Happy birthday to u... Happy birthday to u... Happy birthday to dear..... Happy birthday to u...!!! Did u read this in the typical happy birthday tone...??? Yes?? No?? Well, the purpose of this post is to know how actually people read things. It is proved that when we read something that we have heard many many times earlier and it follows a typical tune, our mind subconsciously reads in the same tone. So if you read the above lines in the typical birthday song way, it is because you have heard these lines so many times that the tune is registered in your mind and so you read it, recollecting the same tune in your mind...!!! Ohkkk..Now enough with my P hekology ..!!! ;) The purpose of this post is not what is stated above. It is a simple post dedicated to someone special born this day... err.... Are you thinking I am gonna write about Mahatma Gandhi???? Na..naaa...Its my brothers birthday today... What a birth date.. shares it with The Greatest Follower of peace, non-violence and truth

What's your Rashee???

Rashees.... Sun signs.. These facts amaze me a lot.....!! I am not superstitious and I think sun signs don't have anything to do with superstitions too.. But I have come across many people who think just think of all these things as same. That's a different issue..... Talking about sun signs, the part about sun signs that I like the most and I always look out for is the Personality Traits . As per the the Zodiac all the people in the world can be divided into 12 distinct groups based on their birth dates. Each group of people have some special characteristics. Now it is not possible that there are only 12 types of people that exist in the world. But this classification gives the major characteristics of these people , their nature ,their behaviour and approach toward things. People with same sun signs can also have different characteristics but there are similarities in general. Males and females of the same sun signs too have different personalities. The future predictions l

Guilty or Innocent......!!

Again a Tag.... I just love doing this Tag exercise and so was really very happy when Chandana Shekhar tagged me with this one...Thanks... Here are the rules : RULE 1 You can only say Guilty or Innocent. RULE 2 You are not allowed to explain anything unless someone messages you and asks! RULE 3 Copy and paste this into your notes , delete my answers, type in your answers and tag to your friends to answer this. So here I give my statements : Asked someone to marry you? Innocent. Ever kissed someone of the same sex? Innocent. Danced on a table in a bar? Innocent. Ever told a lie? Guilty. Had feelings for someone whom you can’t have back? Innocent. Kissed a picture? Guilty. Slept in until 5 PM? Innocent. Fallen asleep at work/school? Guilty. Held a snake? Innocent. Been suspended from school? Innocent. Worked at a fast food restaurant? Innocent. Stolen from a store?

Criticism - As I see it......

"Well..the movie was not so good.." "I think you could have done better.." "That book is just a waste of time...Full of stupid incidents...!!!" Hmm.. Just trying to collect some sentences which I keep on hearing many times around. You also keep on listening to them - these Criticisms ??? Well.... Human nature.....!! Many-a-times, when you are displeased with something or someone, we find faults with them and condemn them. If you don't want any criticisms “Do nothing, Say nothing, and Be nothing.” But being social animals, that is not possible for us....... So what is this 'Criticism ' all about??? I think these days many people just know how to find faults with others even though they may be lagging in the same field. They never even give a second thought before criticising. It is really a rude thing according to me because if you are into the habit of criticising everyone at every occasion, It can create a very negative image about you. Bu

What's that??

I came across this really wonderful and touching story in my mailbox a couple of days ago. The video is a Greek short film. Check it out. No words would be able to explain it better. The message conveyed by the movie is that you must respect your parents and always remember that no matter how much ever you learn or earn, you can never be above them and if you think so.. Then it would just be arrogance..!! The sparrow here stands for even simple things around you today like computers, mobiles etc... Things about which maybe, you know more than people around you. You may know more than what they know but it is they who helped you to know those things. Once upon a time... even you did not know so many things... Dint they teach it to you then? Maybe you are lucky to know these things today. So be patient and humble about things you know, respect the people in your life who added to your store of knowledge - your parents, teachers, family and other people around you and share your knowled

Confused.........!!

Confused..What to write today.......??? Have so much to tell...But I am not sure of what I must start with.....!! CONFUSED: Wow.. What a word....!!!! NO barriers on using it...... Anytime.. Anywhere.....!! It comes to your rescue when you cant solve a problem.. Just use the word confused along with some terms from the question and bingo your work is done..... It gives the impression that you have known something about it though not everything... (Just helped me yesterday...) ;) CONFUSION: A state of mind where you feel everything is right and the next minute everything is wrong. You begin to contradict yourself when in a state of confusion. It is essential during such times to be cool and not to take any hasty decisions. Speaking about your confusions to people who have been through it would make it easy for you to find solutions for it. CONFUSE: This is what you can do when you know your cards very well. When you know something in great detail you can confuse others about it if you a

Ishq Hota Nahi Sabhi Ke Liye.......

Image
Thoughts - How strange it is that our mind subconsciously associates somethings with some people and how quickly our thoughts wander off to some distant places and people when we hear or see something. The associations may seem strange to explain but I am sure everyone must have experienced it sometime though...... Like it happened to me a couple of days ago - On hearing the song "Ishq hota nahi sabhi ke liye......." In the blink of an eye, scenes from the past flashed in front of me... Dialing your number.. Your caller tune "Ishq hota nahi sabhi ke liye......." You just knew what I was doing and how my mood was by my "Hello" ... Tired, angry, crying, had a fight, frustrated, happy, sad, busy, at home, watching TV, studying........ Afraid of being hurt sooner or later due to the differences.. I restricted myself from talking to you in the beginning...You understood even this hesitance...... Assured you were there to take care of everything.. You got me

Colour Paradox..

About a couple of months ago there had been events of racial discrimination and attacks against the Indian students in Australia.. And Thanks to our media the event had been in news for about a month or so. There were some cases reported of students who did not complain even though they had been facing these racial attacks earlier too.... Everywhere, this was the BREAKING NEWS and the only issue being covered and highlighted upon.....!! The topic of this post is not to highlight this event or its aftermaths.. But to realise how much we, ourselves discriminate on the grounds of colour...??? Lets begin with the Africans who come to study in India from countries like Nigeria , Kenya etc. Don't we consider them as 'blacks' and maintain distances with them...?? And in the same place if there is some fair skinned person, they are addressed as "foreigners." Even within our country we discriminate people on such grounds. Our society still gives added importance to the

On this Friendship Day..!!

I want to wish all my friends a VERY VERY HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY and thank them for being with me at various stages in my life. You did make a difference in my life and even today if I am not in touch with you, or we don't meet or talk much, I still remember you and the times we spent together. Those moments can never be forgotten. This story for my dear dear friends who have been my friends right since school and all through college.. For all my friends whom I met at various other places, for all my friends on this Blogosphere ... n whooo... the list can go on and on.......!! Copied hai.. ;) But straight from the heart just 4 u..!!! :)

Friends AAJ KAL...!!

Image
I know the title sounds as if it is inspired from " LOVE AAJ KAL " . I could not think of anything better for this.. Hence, the name.. !!! Gone are the days when you had your friends just from your school, your college or neighbourhood. The term 'friends' is now no longer restricted to the people you know face to face. With the advent of social networking sites, making friends online is the latest buzz around. I still remember my school days when in our English letter writing we were given a topic to write a letter to pen friend in some other country describing about the Indian culture and the festivals celebrated here. At those times, these all situations seemed so vague to me that how could you be friends with someone whom you have not seen.?? But this is no more a vague thought for friends and friendship. With social networking sites coming up, we get an opportunity to meet new people from various places with whom we share common interests or occupations. It jus

A Red Letter Day In My Life....

After completing the school days,every school student feels ,he is at last free from the shackles of rules , homework and more importantly the uniforms... There are dreams budding of Campus masti , meeting new people, learning new things and a curiosity of actually discovering the whole college environment..To know if it is as shown in movies..or as described to them by some elder siblings or friends..... So I was no exception to this..After my SSC I got admission in the desired college in the desired stream and was just waiting for my expedition to begin..At last the D-day arrived..my first day at college... I had afternoon college @ 12.30 p.m. and had to travel by train for about an hour to reach there.I started from home..It was raining heavily..I managed to reach the station and was waiting for my friend to arrive..But she did not reach there. After waiting for about 10 minutes more, I boarded the train alone..It was too crowded and I wished I had not boarded this one. I fina

Monsoons....

Image
From "Wow.. Its MONSOON....!!" to "Oh...When would it STOP raining...???" Mid July.... The lovely rains...... !! The last week was full of rains and at last I am feeling once again that "Wow.. Its MONSOON....!!" All the seasons round the year get me into a special mood... The summers bring with them the excitement of vacations and mangoes... Winters bring lazy mornings but freshness and merriness all around... And the monsoons.... The season actually sets me in different moods.. I love to watch the heavy showers from my window and even touch a few rain drops.... Feel the light drizzles on my palms.. Which invoke a freshness in the whole body... The pleasant winds and coolness everywhere.... a cup of tea.. and some pakoras... with a novel or some chit-chat and I feel the atmosphere can never be better than this........!!! But on the other side... I hate going outdoors in this season, especially travelling because it's a mess on the road with so ma
