Batra Got married yesterday.. who is he… he is one of my very dear friends.. his name is also Prashant.. he got married to his sweetheart for 4 years.. Somya.. they started going around when we guys had joined Spectramind and batra met her in the training batch !!!

Another love-story reaches a milestone. God bless them with all the happiness in this world !!!

has anyone listen to the Album “Indian Idol“… what a peice of crap it is… i was listening to it in the morning while driving to the office.. and the way they have screwed up Kishor Da’s numbers is something that cannot be captured in words…

they sound so fake !!!

Kishor Da I miss you…

p.s. can someone please send me the song.. the original Bindu Re Bindu from Padosan…. on my email prashantbhardwaj@gmail.com… please please please….

he was listening to his favorite songs…. songs that talked about love.. songs that talked about care.. that talked about care and feelings…

and he could not help but think of the times when he thought he was in love… it brought a smile to his face… and tears in his eyes.. coz he was hurt.. he had been loved and he had loved… but it all ended in pain…

and today, even though he knew being in love made life beautiful, he was not ready to fall in love again….

these fathers… uff…

i called up papa when he was still in school and asked him to get some Gulab Jamuns for me from Kaleva ( its a sweet shop in Gole Market CP)..

“yaar, wo mere liye bilkul ulta padega.. 3 km ka extra chakkar lagega…“

“papa, mereko nai pata.. aap bas lekar aao.” ( me like a 10 year old kid)

“theek hai.“

“theek hai weekh hai kuch nai. Aap kahin se bhi lao par lekar aao“

“theek hai dekhta hoon…“

and he disconnected the phone…

about an hour and a half later.. he came home… and had two bags in his hand.. i was like.. i had asked for just some Gulab Jamuns… kya le aaye…

and when i saw what was there in them… here is what they had

10 Gulab Jamuns… ek dum garma garam
10 Rajbhogs.. from my favorite Bengali Sweet Shop Sandesh…
& 10 Bengali Roshogullas… again from Sandesh…

now we are just three members at home… and mom does not eat a lot of sweets unlike me and papa… who are total sweet freaks…

we managed to have just 7 gulab jamuns… and the rest is there in the fridge… care for a party anyone?

love u dad 🙂

they met after a long time… how often does it happen that you meet one of your good friends just once or twice in 9 years… and that too just by chance..

finally after a few conversations they met… she was a fast driver.. and he could not catch up… so she waited for him to join her.. and then drive slowly not to loose sight again… all through this time.. they were talking on the phone…

a cafe, two old friends, lots to talk about….

she looked the same like in school… but she had changed.. she had a shell of her own.. and there was no one who could enter that… she did not like to answer any questions, she was not open to any sharing of thoughts and feelings with anyone, she did not want anyone to be bothered about whats happening in her life if they could not do anything about it… she did not need any long talks and conversations… she could just live on her own.. and enjoy and be happy…

and he was scared… it was tough to see someone just like him, sitting in front of him !!!

she was with her friends that afternoon… and her boyfriend was with her too.. but he did not know anyone from that group…

he was not sure if he would like being there or not… but she inisisted and he joined her…

she was talking to everyone around… and he was not.. he was quiet.. silent.. and just looking at her at times… careful enough not to make it obvious that he was not comfortable there…

and then… she silently without anyone knowing it… held his hand softly…

she was still talking… he was still silent… but everything had changed !!!

Outta there… yes… i felt kinda releived to be out of the team i was working in for the past one year… no.. i liked the work.. it was the manager… i read somewhere, that its not the companies that people leave.. its because of the supervisors that people tend to leave their current jobs.. and time and again this is proved right by the managers !!!

in the new profile that i am in.. i take care of the quality in a helpdesk.. not something that i really wanted to do as a part of my walk towards my career goals.. but it happened. and i think i can make a difference here…

i guess.. i will work here till i can… keep studying and researching about what i want to do.. and move out at the right time… God Bless me… this is going to be one difficult phase… not as difficult as working with the wrong boss… but still !!!

am walking……….

they got into an argument, about love and concern and care… his side was.. if someone cares for you, then it does not mean that (s)he necessarily loves you… concern and care does not translate into love all the time…. and then asked her… if she is so concerned about him.. does that mean.. she loves him?

silence….

and then a beautiful giggle from the other end…

he asked her.. why is she laughing…

she said… because she could not say no to the question he asked…

sweet…

I am not in a relationship these days.. i am not even seeing anyone for that matter… and this has given me some space and time to think about a lot of things…

SPACE is what i have been thinking about the most.. not being in a relationship has helped me a lot actually.. i could do whatever i wanted to do.. i could just live life on my own terms.. without really being questioned… i would walk at my own pace… i would not have to wait for my girlfriend on the bus stop or outside her house for those loooooong 10 minutes… i would not have to keep talking to her even though my mom was calling me inside the house… i would not have to change myself or my ways just because she is not comfortable with them !!!

well so much for happiness together… i am not saying that being in a relationship is always a pain.. but then there are two very very mature individuals who would be part of the relationship which does not end up in pain !!! and i did not have many opportunities to look at such relationships… no no.. lemme correct myself… i have seen some wonderful relationships… though all of them from outside.. i was not one of the partners in it…

what have i learnt… by being a part of a few relationships and by being just a spectator to the rest… is that we all need SPACE….. we all need to be respected for our individuality and that we want our partner to be a part of our lives without corroding that thin line that we draw inside us which has us as an individual on one side.. and a partner on the other… at times.. these two roles do not match.. or maybe initially they do.. but then with time.. we see that the individual that we were is getting away from the partner we are.. and then who can live away from themself… and we start feeling that strain in the relationship !!!

I could not give my ex-girl any space.. and i could not get any either.. and that made us break-up about and year and a half ago.. just hope that the people who think they are in love with each other… give each other a lot of space in the relationship and respect the individuality of their partner…

let ur partner do what they want to !!! and let them come back to you at the end of the day… let them spend their days they want to… and let them tell them how they spent it… let them face their lives themselves.. and let them come to you when they need to.. and give them a surprise by being there all the time.. never let them look around for you.. be there.. but not in the way of their lives !!!!

enough of gyan !!! phew… ab a long weekend in front of me again.. waiting for a long drive to meerut tommorow… and two weekoffs then.. lets see if i can complete the two books iwanted to read the last weekend 🙂 am one helluva lazy ass i tell u 🙂

Had not shaved for a week.. and wanted to see how it comes out in a photo !!!

and here i am.. thanks to a good friend.. and a great fotographer… Gaurav Srivastava !!!

I am home 🙁

if everything had worked out right i would have been driving to Kausani at this hour… and i think should have been somewhere near Bhimtal !!! but the plan failed…. ppl kept backing out.. for reasons which are valid !!! so no issues… actually there are… i really really wanted to go on this long drive… was thinking of it for a long time.. par kya karen !!!!

sometime later…. i am sad that a long weekend.. which is not too common is going waste…. but then on second thoughts.. i am thinking of doing a few things…

~ Read The Alchemist. and probably “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari” as well !!!
~ Watch The Game, and Bourne Identity ( bought these movies long time back but could not watch )
~ spend the Independence Day in front of the TV.. Star One would show two of my favorite serials the entire day…. Khichdi and the Great Indian Laughter Challange…
~ and just rest !!!

lets see how it goes… abhi to… am ready to go to my Mama’s place.. about 60 odd kms away from home… in Bulandshahr…. the thought of driving on the NOIDA-Greater NOIDA Expressway is exciting… getting up at 0500 hours was a pain though…

Agar aap bus,train,plane ya kahin se bhi aa jaa rahe hon aur kisi mahila/larki ke hath mein phool,dhaga,chain ya chamakti hue koi bhi vastu dekhein to turant wahan se bhag jaye.Ye vastu RAKHI ho sakti hai. Apki zara se laaparwahi apko BHAI bana sakti hai.

Purush hit mein jaaree.
