New year resoutions.

Following are top 10 resolutions people make, as claimed by a research group, based on responses of some 30k ppl. And my reasons for not making any of them.

1. Lose Weight and Get in Better Physical Shape.

Am planning weight loss surgery in mid year. And neways i like my parathas too much.

2. Stick to a Budget

NOT APPLICABLE(u need some money to budget it. Hope my bosses read this..).

3. Debt Reduction

Let the US solve there crisis first, Our Economy is still doing good. No need. Might even take a personal loan to go to Switzerland for my 2nd honeymoon.


4. Enjoy More Quality Time with Family & Friends

And sacrifice partying, binge drinking, late night working, orkutting, blogging.. ARE U KIDDING ME??


5. Find My Soul Mate

AS per some claims, our soul weighs as less as 21 grams. Now, It'd be unfair to rest of me, if i want a soul mate. My body is the significant part of me after all. I'd rather find a HOT BODY BODY MATE..!

6. Quit Smoking

Self Explanatory.

7. Find a Better Job

How many Sales people will u find blogging on a month end?? I'll take gratuity from this co. And then take VRS...!
8. Learn Something New

As if i am able to remember whatever i learnt all through these years. Duh..!

9. Volunteer and Help Others

Acha..!! As if I've got no stuff to do myself.


10. Get Organized

There's some method in chaos. And i love that.

Eager..!

She- send me Ur pic..
He-OOOOO(to be read in Austin power's style)... some one's eager to see me..!! yum..!!
She-Just curious..
He-wait a sec.. am mailing it across..
She-LONG Deafening Silence..!
He-Waiting for some compliments.. with Oohs.. and Ahas..
She- HEE HEE HEE HEE.
He- I want my pics back(angry face)
She- No, Want to keep them, will be good to have for a laugh now and then..!
He- I Want them back..! No one makes fun of me this way!
she- u sent me funny pics, what'd i do?
He- (Exasperated) OK, at least u'll smile looking at em.
She- Yeah.. laughing would be RUDE Na..!
He- (Cursing himself for sending the pics) Sweet dreams.


Sorry..?? who was Eager??

Mind games

Jumbo-WIn..!! Please..!

Tell me about the time u....

Injured yourself
Many years ago, trying to climb the 250 steps to my school, on my knees on the parapet.
Been in love
Quite a lot of times.

Been violent
Very often in early life, last slapped someone doing an absurd thing.

Drank too much
Never, i hold my drink pretty well.

Experienced bliss
Stood out in the freezing temperature at manikaran saheb,4 in the morning, and looked at the stars for 2 freezing hours.

Did something you shouldn't have
Well, it was not nice to stand in the middle of the class and tell my economics teacher.."Mam, I love ur figure.."

Created art
All the time, People just do not understand it..

Surprised someone
Called up my sis on her B'day, without any body's reminders.

Went somewhere fancy
My "somewhere Fancy" is every one's "Oh NO" place..

Bought something expensive
Usually my shoes are not very comfortable in my budget. Apart from that, all major purchases are for mum.

Played a practical joke on someone
U'd not like the details..

Felt nervous in some one's company
NOt a lot, though was usually sweating old, while invited to Principal's office.

Felt beautiful
Every morning..

Felt unattractive
wen frequently compared to my GF's dad..!! Whew..!

Threw a party
Last Sunday.

Were the centre of attention
Usually am, am quite a loud person u see.

Felt betrayed
Sis told everyone about my breakup..!

Lied
I'd have died without lies..! thank god, i can lie.

Were scared
Having climbed halfway to the man made water shaft of some 1000 meters, and looking back down at the river, trembling, and moving on.

Jerry

Training a dog is no mean feat. People take pride in watching there pet perform at there slightest cue. Jerry has done well in the training department. He has trained we well enough to "perform" as and when he feels like going out for The Royal potty, The Royal meal, The Royal morning sleep, of course on top of my bed, among other "Tricks".

Unfortunately,my maid has not got as much time to train as yours truly. And she has to bear the brunt. How dare she, Jerry appears to be thinking, when she carelessly tosses his basket while wiping the floor, or touches his trencher. And the events that follow, are best left untouched. I had to use all my selling and convincing skills to establish my civility in the neighbourhood, after the maid last ran out of house, screaming, cloths torn and displaced. Jerry, the sweet thing wouldn't do that, Patel auntie says.

And what about the Dirty dance i would like to ask her. Was it me who Jumped in the tub, while the Poor maid was trying to wash some clothes, and then lick her face, like an icecream, and go on dancing on freshly wiped floor?? Or is it me, who hides her not so clean chappals, everyday?

Looks are deceptive, Patel Auntie has to learn better, or i'll have to clean my mess myself, and that of Jerry's.

The Dancing Words

I do not like to watch a movie more than once. The only movie i have watched twice in a theatre is Mughal-e-azam(and i slept like a baby the second time, with Jalaludin Akbar's thunderous voice playing in background).

Tarre Zamin Par is different. . I feel like going back to the cosmoplex, and watch it again, and may be again. What a movie..!!! Crisp, clear, easy paced, subtle, and on a topic very close to my heart, Education. I am really impressed with the sensitivity with which the subject has been handled.

A special child, fighting a lone battle with dyslexia, with no one understanding what is troubling him, or even trying to. His agony, his meek attempts to fight back, his broken heart, his joy, and his victory, all come out, and never being loud or melodramatic.

Darsheel has done a good job(it would be proper to say Aamir has done a good job-getting a nice performance out of the kid), Tisca is looking nice. SAL's music is nice, and grows on u as u sit through the movie, laughing, and crying.

Am looking forward to Aamirs next as a director.

Jerry

Three cheers to Jerry..!!!

Paris Hilton has some competition here..(Oh no.. not in the vediography dept.)!

While i have been a victim of my awkward(with a Capital A) social skills, Jerry seems to be a master at socialising. I never knew the name of my neighbour's daughter while my 18 month stay at Jamnagar, nor did i know the first name of my Dhobi. And here's Jerry.. three months in Rajkot, and he's a regular at Patel Aunty's evening tea meet. I am ot complaining, i get to eat the biscuits too u see. And evolved being that Jerry is, he has a great sense of time, and highest regard for punctuality. And it appears so does Patel Auntyji.

Patels were not friendly when i had comehere first, a punjabi(daaru pine wala, meat khane wala) was not a great neighbour to have they thought. But thank god, Jerry's come along. even now, due to my eggitarian status, i am barred from the Patel kitchen, but the evolved being can sttuter around, lick auntiji's feet and beg for some ganthia-thepla..!

I am relieved. Only that Patels have no daughter and one bitch(oops.... LADY DOG..lest Jerry reads this).

kathmandu

Boss i am over worked.

yes dear u are..

i guess i need a break.. can i have a day off today

oh sure.. i'd love to allow that..but..

oh please boss.. i am feeling a bit of fever too..

thats too bad..

so can i..

u did'nt update me on the response of plan 256..

Its a sad product boss.. no use selling what ppl do not want to buy..

its selling like hot cake in ahmedabad..

but thats a different market..

u know sid??.. he got promoted last year.. used to be good at selling new products..
yeah he went to kathmandu on LTA for 10 days.. i know him.

so what are ur plans for 256..

I guess I'll do better than ahmedabad boss..

great.. u wanted a leave..?

no.. i feel better already.. and neways had to brief my team about the plan 256..

Greatest Challenge OF All

It is very commonly said that the most important resource any organisation has is human resource(is it a resource BTW).

I have, in a short span of time worked with several companies, in different industries, and all of them leading ones, supposedly the best ones around. And I loved being there.

But i have found each one of them not able to keep there employees engaged. Not many employees are thinking about there job as a role in a bigger system, working towards a goal. The passion for the work is missing. The willingness to run that extra mile is just not there.And i am talking TOP companies here.

And the ones who are engaged in with there company, working towards its goals, willingly, making there goal a subset of the company's goal, are the better performers, both in terms of numbers and in quality of work. They gain the hang of the business much quicker than the avg. non engaged employee, as he relatively spends far more time thinking about the business, and improvements.

These are the kind of people every organisation needs. Dedicated, capable employees, working in tune with the company's objectives.

These people are hard to find.

And i have seen people with these qualities are hard to retain, they jump jobs more frequently.

Companies are having a tough time understanding there expectations and responding to them.

Hiring smart people is tough, Keeping them engaged is tougher. And MONEY is not the only answer.

Ms lovely Eyes..

Relax....

I guess there's something about this place.. Rajkot..

Families sitting at race course park at 1am..

ppl hurrying to open shop at 11 am..

students working in timepass jobs to earn enough for modifying bajaj pulsar into a meaner mechiene..

leaving job if told to work during bopahaira(problem is even more severe here than jamnagar)..

U just can not speak to some one in high pitch, he will sulk to death and not even tell u he was hurt with ur behaviour.. and serve u cha all the time..

Surprisingly it is amongest top 20 productive towns in India, had a buzzing financial market, produces oil engine of all sorts,and even exports them..
Whoever said only hardwork pays..

Wonder if jerry finds a brindle..!!

Gilli Danda

T20... how does it sound?? To me, it sounds like teen patti..!!

What are these guys upto?? Kerry packer did it first. He was the culprit, yes culprit for making the gentleman's game a vulgar copy of itself. The spirit of Cricket, played in a test match, its strategy, its tactics, its soul, the all white clothes, everything was lost. We learnt One day Cricket. And the masses came.. bringing in all the moolah.. making the custodians or shall i say controllers(second C in BCCI) of the game rich, and players famous. All and sundry joined the party. Crickters became demi gods. The competetion to get into playing eleven, or even selected 16, became far stiffer than getting into IIMa, or MIT for that matter.

Now greed rules. Players of the subcontinent play more matches in a year,than rest of the world put togather, may be in a decade.

This is the begenning of the end for ODIs. No one will watch a 10 hour game, if there was a 3 hour version of it. Cricket has shrunk like the hemline of celina jaitly's skirt.

Not all men like gracious saaree clad women, bikini sales are zooming..!!

Bye ODIs, Cool ur heels with the Great Test matches.

Jerry

The world war III has ended. Finally, FINALLY there’s something that unites me with my superior friend Jerry!!

I have always been a sports lover. Mom somehow manages to have a problem with everything I like. So she has since the beginning of time, opposed my way of appreciating sport. Ok, I am a bit different sports person, I like “watching” all sport, and play none. But is that a sin?

So last time I was watching WWE (women’s wwf for the uninitiated), mom was threatening to cut the power supply of the house. Suddenly, all the hue and cry stopped. Oh what a sweet darling.. How cute..!! it was mom, coming in the sitting room. After all these years, finally she realizes my worth, I thought. Better late than never. But not yet still. The love and affection was not for me, but for Jerry. He was watching WWE as if he wanted to join in, giving a slam or two to Sherry. Mom has never made a big deal out of it evr since. All I have to do, to have my one hour of uninterrupted violence is, get Jerry a biscuits, bring him to the TV, and switch it on. No one disturbs Jerry; he is served his dinner in front of the TV, while I have to take it myself. But that’s not that bad a bargain. Is it?? I think Jerry and me can exist together now.

cutting chai continued

Jeeru wali Soda- theres soda to be added in whisky. But ever herd soda flavoured with jeera? Its a rage in Jamnagar. Not to mention soda with lemon nad salt.

reliance petroeum- worlds largest refinery. Dhiru Bhai is a household hero here. Half of janmagar lives off what he created.

Essar Oil- another refinery. and the tiff between Ambaniis and the ruias is everlasting rumour. Or may be a reality.

Dig- Digvijay Cement, Dig-Jam, Digvijay Gram, all named after, and started by Late Maharaha Digvijay Sinh Jadeja, Uncle of Ajay Jadeja. Fondly remembered as jam saheb.

Ranjit sinh, Duleep sinh- royals.

Evening dailies- nowhere in India, u'd find probably as many eveaning dailies in Jamnagar, I suspect it has to do with bopaharias and ardhu cha at 2 am..

more later...

Cutting chai

some specialities u'll find nowhere in the world....

1. ardhu(half cup of tea). A craze in jamnagar. U'll find couples hanging out at chai ki kitlis to have there cuppa tea at mid night. Jamnagar loves Tea.. Round the clock.

Tea, i guess is the only reason why people keep roaming around till 2-3 am in a no pub, no disc Jamnagar. Ardhu leta aao bhai..!

2. mithi sadu pan(Green leaf bangla Pan). No where in the world u'll find airconditioned pan ka gallas(stalls). It appears to be the main industry here.. I wonder if Jamnagar could hold a world record for no. of pan ka gallas per capita..!

3. Bopaharia(afternoo nap). U have to see it to believe it. People will do anything, even if it means closing shop and going home, or maybe leaving it unattended, to go for there bopaharia. Its a curfew here in jamnagar from 2 to 4.30 pm virtually everyday.

4. Satam Aatham(janamashtmi). How many days will u think these guys can celeberate Lord Krishna's b day?? one day.. may be two..?? NO.. Its one full week. Everyone closes shop, and heads out of state, insearch of greener(and more alchoholic) pastures.7 days of zero activity.

5. Bapu(rajputs). Now there are Rajputs, and there are rajputs. Here anyone with any distant link, real or imaginary link with the earstwhile royal family, is a bapu(king). I wonder how come there are so many royals. And they are morally, and physically still thought to be lone species to fight for anything under the sun.. Literally.

Jamnagar is a strange place.. but I love being here.

peace..!

And Life goes on..!! :)

wanted to post somthing.. couldnt.. will do it tomorrow.. i gotta watch a match..!! what would sachi do without me support..!!

India won the match. I watched, in transfixed to the Tube. Sachin was playing his Oh so sleek square drive. He's a master of the sport. And am tempted to say, the sports of life too. Such elegance on and off the field, I sometimes find myself in awe of him(usually i do not find people special). How does he manages to maintain such a clean profile. Look at shane warne, imran khan, shoaib akhtar, kapil dev even, all have been into controversies. But Not Sachin. He lets the willow talk. U criticize me, and i'll smack a century in ur face, he seems to be saying.

SO he is our hero, while kambli, arguably a batsman of same class, no more gets to sign many autographs.

Not many celebreties are able to do this. So what is it that makes sachin so nice, all the time? My observation says..

1. Great upbringing by educated reasonably well to do parents.

2. Charecter.

3. Mental strength.

4. Focus on the game.

5. Rational approach towards life.

6. Never forgetting where he came from.

7. Value of hard work.

8. Honesty.

Little Master it seems is a master of all trades, and master blaster of one..!!!

Sports were his passion. Like all Indians, Cricket was a religion to him. He had seen Kapil Dev lifting the World Cup. He could tell if the pitch was fit for batting, or if it was better to bowl. Rahul dravid was his fovourite, He liked he textbook strokes the wall played. e just loved he sight of a full stadium. The restlessness before every match he felt was sometimes a bit too much for him. He' not be able to concentrate sometiimes. Today India lost to england. He won Rs 50000. Satta was no mean sport...!!

Jerry

I am grouchy most of these days. My Daily Morning Jogs(I like calling them DMJs even though they used to occur once in a Blue moon) have become more regular. NO. I have not done an adnan sami. Just that Jerry likes to go out in the morning. And my folks find this a worthy reason to kick me out of bed, as and when required by Jerry.

So DMJs it is now. But it just doesnt stop at this. After Jerry hogged all the limelight at home, with a panache i am sure Aishwarya Rai(calling her a Bachhan breaks my heart) would envy, the ignonimy is spreading like the wild fire of south Greece.

The very hour glassed PYTs that i dreamed of talking to(somehow they never noticed me), seem to be waiting for Jerry, every morning. Jerry is welcomed in the community garden with almost an ovation fit for Sachin Tendulker at the Eden Gardens(Is it MS Dhoni Now girls??). While i huff and pant.. Jerry jogs besides them confidently, Following them all over the ground. How about letting me follow you like that Mam.. i ask in my heart.. face red with exhaustion, heart green envy.

Us.... Nomads

I felt strangely at home.

And then i though it was just natural. Sitting in the same room of the guest house that i had come to, while looking for a job, I felt it was home. I ended up living in the same place for 2 years.

I asked my self, where else would i feel at HOME... the list is as follows..

1. My parents house- lived forst 8 years o my life there

2. The Govt bunglow at beautiful township in himachal-lived there for next 7 years.

3. The house in delhi- lived there for 9 months.

4. The Room in guest house in the other colony, 20 Km away from earlier Home- Lived there for 2 years.

5. The Flat i shared with my friends- Lived there for almost 2 years.

6. The room I shared with my friends at chandigarh- Lived there for 1 year.

7. The room i shared with my friends at Udai pur- Lived there for Two years.

8. The Guest House i lived at in Bhuj- Lived there for 1 year.

9.The room at ahmedabad i talked about in in the begening- Lived there for two years.

10. the flat i live at now- Living ther since last 16 months.

I guess i am not wierd.. Its just the way we live these days..

Us.... Nomads..!!

Ghalib

Na tha kuchch to Khuda tha, kuchch na hota to Khuda hota
Duboya mujhko hone ne, na hota main to kya hota ?

Huaa jab Gham se yoon behis to Gham kya sar ke katne ka
Na hota gar juda tan se to zaanoon par dhara hota

Huee muddat ke 'Ghalib' mar gaya par yaad aata hai
Wo har ek baat pe kehana, ke yoon hota to kya hota ?

Jerry

Jerry doesnt like to be disturbed while he is eating(dare i call him It..!!). I guess he is the most punctual one in the house.

Unlike me, he is always on the dinner table(or under it) before the dinner is served. Unlike me, he doesnt need any puffs to induce bowal movement, and so finishes of in 5 min what takes me 25. Again unlike me, he doesnt make faces when served with Karela. And everybody loves him. I brought jerry home as i was moved by his feeble crys of pain.. He was hurt by someone.. bleeding and i wondered at that time dying. He is ok now.. and is happy to be taken on walks again.

But i lost my numero Uno position in house to him..!! I am no more the one who needs all the care.. it is Him..!!

He has to be fed on time, bathed on time, taken for exercise on time, leashed and unleashed on time, and even taken for his ROYAL disposal of waste from body.. ON TIME..!! and poor me.. I can wait.. I am told. Jerry needs it on time.

Whoever said humans were better species..

I guess i am getting obssessive here.. :)

PVG

I dont think she will make a bad Prime minister.. 50% of population will surely vote for her.. given her princess looks..!!

55 words

They were exited about it. She remembered how they had listened to Jawaharlal nehru address the midnight's childern, long long back, celeberating through the night. She could see Tiranga hoisted on all houses of locality every 15th of august. It was only two days in a year when they were allowed to do so. It is different now. We are free to Hoist the national flag everyday, thanks Navin Jindal. Tiranga looked so proud on her house. All other houses of the locality stood naked.

Mafi deni hai ki thane jana hai..!!

"Chak de" in punjabi is "lets rock"

Chak de ROCKS... amazing screenplay, steady speed, fast and furious matches(though i think they could do with better cimematography.. specially to make the goals a bit more exiting..).. I loved it.

The regional accents were hilarious.. so enjoyable. The politics among the girls so real.. the jealousy so true.

Most of all what i liked about tchk de is that it touches so many important topics, burning topics i'd say... and still manages to give the viewers a fun filled time. It never goes over the top.. all the messages are so subtle. Some of them..

1. Poor state of sports in india, specially hocky.
2. Extreme reactions and over hype to everything from losing a match to mild success.
3. Communal devide(I loved the scene where kabir khan is asked by his friend why does he wnt to come back to hocky.. and why does he feel so guilty.. and says.. "EK GALATI TO SAB KO MAAF HOTI HAI" SRK replies "SABKO... NAHI". So beautifully subtle.. so to the point.)
4. Regional devide.
5. Individual Vs the team.
6. Female position in society.
7. Professionalism and falling standards of morals(remember how the senior girl offered Kabir khan her body, Kabir khan declining the offer, but calling her to play when the team needed her..)


These are topics which are good enough to make a sereis of films on each.. but chakde just packs them togather and gives clear to the point message.

I loved the movie.. and i could do so coz there was no SRK in it.. there was kabir khan.. not shahrukh khan.

Ghalib..

The school was closed. It was a public holiday. Heading back home, he wondered if he should be happy or sad. It was a moment to celeberate he decided. He will go back running to home, change and play with his cousins in the garden. Hills made a fine background to there innocent squeals of laughter. Papa was having tea in the lawn, with mom and discussing what flower to grow in front row. Rajiv Gandhi was dead.

great poem.. but i tended to dislike the message in it.. friendship is posed as a dharma here.. and karna is not only emberacing death knowingly, he is also fighting the right in favour of wrong...
was it his dharma?? or was it a weak emotional decision??

But i failed to recoganise the fact that Karna was a member of the court of kouravas.. and was so bound to fight with them.. just as Bheeshma was.. by his Raj Dharma.

U dont mess with Sri krishna's logic.. do u..?? I learnt not to...!! :)

ghalib once again..!

With the thought of tomorrow,
Be not niggardly today, O Saqi;
This would be disrespectful
To the Saqi of Paradise.

Why have we become so contemptible
Today, when till yesterday ,
Our honour did not tolerate
The impudence of the angel.

Listening to sweet music,
why does it seem
That one's life is draining away?
Is it because we hear His voice

In the notes of the lute and the rebeck?
The steed of age is galloping;
Let us see where it will stop;
The hand does not hold the rein

And the foot is not in the stirrup.
I am as far removed
From my own reality
As my twisting and turning

Stems from the thought of the other.
The reality of the sight of God,
The one who sees, and what is seen,
All in effect are one; I
am amazed Then, what is all this witnessing?

The sea's substance consists of
The shifting appearance of forms;
What then is in the drop,
And the bubble, and the wave?

Coyness, even with oneself
Is but a form of dalliance;
How many unveiled ones
Go about covered by a veil?

The adorning of her beauty
Leaves no time for ease;
Even beneath the veil, her mirror
Constantly confronts her.

ghalib..

That sigh from the heartHas not the importance of a straw,
Although it can cause
A crack in the sun.
That magic is of no avail
For the fulfilment of one's desires,
That magic by which
The boat floats on the mirage.
Ghalib, I have for some time
Given up drinking wine; I drink only
When it is a cloudy day,
Or a moonlit night.

R kipling... I liked so here it is...!

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son

He had done so well, his parents so proud of him, friends adoring his hard work.. holding his B.sc. honours graduation degree that proudly proclaimed Distinction.. His future looked so bright. Good students always make it BIG in life, his father had told him, while mortgaging his Land to pay up for his fees and books.. He herd a distant voice.. clearer secong time.. "Ganga Ram 2 cup chai upar bhejo"

Life is unfair...
we all work.. bosses and collegues..
some hard.. some not so hard...
some smart.. some not so smart..
all working for a couple of bucks..

working harder and smarter, striving to be better..
but it seems there's some other skill needed..
Yess boss types seem to do better.. ALWAYS..
