Champu!!

Pareshaan thi Champu ki wife

Non-happening thi jo uski life

Champu ko na milta tha aaram

Office main karta kaam hi kaam

Champu ke boss bhi the bade cool

Promotion ko har baar jate the bhul

Par bhulte nahi the wo deadline

Kaam to karwate the roz till nine

Champu bhi banna chata tha best

Isliye to wo nahi karta tha rest

Din raat karta wo boss ki gulami

Onsite ke ummid main deta salami

Din guzre aur guzre fir saal

Bura hota gaya Champu ka haal

Champu ko ab kuch yaad na rehta tha

Galti se Biwi ko Behenji kehta tha

Aakhir ek din Champu ko samjh aaya

Aur chod di usne Onsite ki moh maya

Boss se bola, "Tum kyon satate ho ?"

"Onsite ke laddu se buddu banate ho"

"Promotion do warna chala jaunga"

"Onsite dene par bhi wapis na aunga"

Boss haans ke bola "Nahi koi baat"

"Abhi aur bhi Champus hai mere paas"

"Yeh duniya Champuon se bhari hai"

"Sabko bas aage badhne ki padi hai"

"Tum na karoge to kisi aur se karaunga"

"Tumhari tarah Ek aur Champu banaunga"

Guys, Let's not be champus..

Live as if you were to die tomorrow... Learn as if you were to live forever...

Brain :)

Brain has two parts: Right Brain & Left Brain..

There is nothing right in the left brain; &

There is nothing left in the right brain.. lol

Can you spot something different in this pic!! & how soon did u do so?

No Exit

Yes, its written as "NO EXIT"....

"No entry" boards are all over Namma Bengalooru, but, this one is unique and caught my attention..

They meant a "dead-end" road :)

Kids & Eve-teasing

Kids, symbolise purity, divinity and innocence to me. And that's exactly the reason, why I would prefer spending my time with kids!! I've been baby sitting kids, from the time, I was a kid myself.

Amruthavarshini, is the name of the first baby, I played with. (She was named after a raaga, and not the movie :D ) Then, its deepak, chandu, chaitra, chintu, rashmi, raksha, chethu, chitra, nayana, priya, rakshitha, ramya and the list goes on!!!

(Even when I was in college, I bunked the classes not to watch movie or to go out with friends, but to play cricket with Chandu in the afternoons ;)... We both share the same name, so is, great bonding)

But, this particular incident on Saturday, made me admire the kids even more.

As usual, I finished my classes. But, instead of heading back towards home, decided to talk to one of the kid's parents, who was damn bluntly rejecting to read or write anything. Went to his place, talked to his mom,.. All that was fine. Later, the kids wanted to go for a ride with me in my two-wheeler. I just can't say, NO to them. Took each of the kids with me on my vehicle, and it was enough to catch attention in that area. Well, I didn't ask for it.

During one such round with the kids, one of the localite passed a comment. Before I could realise what's happening, the kid (Ganesh, 3rd std) with me, turned and yelled at those guys. I wanted to know the reason behind such behavior and he coolly said "They are not good people, they always tease girls here. I don't like such things/people. So, I always scold them". Hats off, to you, my boy!! You are far more matured, in knowing what's right & what's wrong!!

Kids grow up with what we teach them. So, teach them right!! :)

I'm not sure, if any person can have the feeling of being complete. But, I'm sure, a kid, pure and innocent, is always perfect and complete.

Dil Chahta hai!!

A movie, which is worth watching even nth time!! One movie which has mature, immature, romantic, funny & boring love stories ( collection, eh!! :) ) and more over it's about friends, their world, their bonding, their limits, their separation and their re-unite.

I must have watched this movie more than 20 times, but would prefer to watch it again & again.

And there are other good things in that movie,, ( I got it, as a mail-forward,, chances are that, you've already read it.. :P, but, I don't want to miss it anytime)

• Freaking out and enjoying life doesn't need drugs or cigarettes.
• There are relationships apart from bf/gf & friendship, that can be very emotional and true, which is beyond the understanding of many people.
• And yeah even though you may be the best of friends there is always a limit which should never be crossed. Then it starts hurting...........
• Improving your imperfections after you realize them, always take some time.
• You always don't need to show or prove your gf/bf how much you love or care about her/him, which can sound very boring and finally get you dumped.
• Believe in Love. True love will never let you down.
• Never be ashamed to go back to your old friends. Friends are there to understand your mistakes.
• Do not be afraid of others, always think that others are afraid of you. (remember the Australian Beggar at the railway station?)
• Whenever you need your friend, remember that he is just a phone call away.... distance can't separate friends.
• In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
• It's the friends you can call up at 4 A. M. that matter.
• The only unchangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.
• The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit with on a porch and swing with, and never say a word, and then walk away feeling it was the best conversation you've ever had.
• And last but not the least- do what your heart loves.. Karo wahi jo, DIL CHAHTA HAI !!!

And a wonderful dialogue from the movie ...

Mein soch raha tha..Agar hum waise na mile hote jaise hum mile hai..agar mein tumhe kahin aur mila hota..to kya hum aise hote jaise ki hum hai? aur agar hum aise nahi hote jaise ki hum hai to kaise hote..agar tum mere liye kuch aur sochti?agar mein tumhare liye kuch aur sochta to kya hota..

mein kya bol raha hoon....? lol

Poems!! Dedications!!

Like anyone else, I feel happy if someone dedicates a song for me,,

All more happy, if they take effort to write a poem for me,,

Well,, I'm really lucky that people wrote poems for me and dedicated it,, Happy to have you fellas' love in my life... Blessed I'm..

Here is one such poem, which my sweetest, greatest bro wrote it for me! :) I love you, aNNa...

And the other one, is by my friend Preeti, as a friendship day gift :)

The Little Moon (Chandu) : by KK

As I looked at the sky,

There were stars that I behold,

Where is my pretty moon?

As I cried & shouted for it aloud..

I asked my mother for the moon,

Whom she would show me,

When she fed me with mouthfuls of food,

that was when I would scamper off on my knee..

I searched endlessly for the moon,

Where do I find it in the heaven above?

Moon which shone through my days abright,

Filled my life with dreams, and love..

I looked up at the sky as I lay on my back,

A little one was dancing on my chest,

Oh! my moon had descended from heaven,

To make my life, better than the best....

Journey unto myself

My eyes long to see you

But you are nowhere in sight,

I find every sight beautiful,

Yet none of them are mine..

My ears long to hear you,

But an eerie silence everywhere,

I find music in every soul,

Yet my heart doesn't dance to its beats..

Words fall in line to form a poem,

I start to write down about love,

But I write about you everytime,

How dare do I call them mine?

My search ends now,

But my journey is on,

I have found you in me,

Of the years bygone..

Manase, baduku ninagagi

A famous movie song lyrics, can never be a post,, I know!!

But, "Amruthavarshini" is one of the movie, which I love a lot.. The love story touches your heart. Yes, its a love story, of a very loving couple, and there is a villan. Not their parents or relatives, but someone who falls in love with the lead lady.

All those people who haven't watched this movie, shame guys, please watch this. You can't watch this movie, without falling in love with love. You feel the love and you feel the pain. And you obviously wish, you and your special one make a great pair like that of Sharath Babu & Suhasini, in this movie. All the 3 main characters have lived the role. Ramesh aka Ramesh Aravind, you rock!! (Doesn't his role has a bit of SRK from the movie Darr!! think, think!!)

Here goes the lyrics of the song "Manase, baduku ninagagi". I don't want to make the blunder of translating it. (all those who don't understand kannada, excuse me here :( ,, but I assure, you will be able to understand the feeling and very easily follow while you watch the movie)

Manase,

baduku ninagagi, bavaNe ninagagi,

nanna preetiye suLLadare, jagavella suLLu allave??

manase..... manase.....

ninna ondu maatu saaku, maru maatu elli,

ninna ondu aaNati saaku, naa aLive alli,

ninna ondu hesare saaku, usiratakilli,

ninna ondu sparsha saaku, ee janumadalli,

manase, naa ene madidaroo,

ninna preetigallave..

manase, manasa kshamise....

manase..... manase.....

nanna preeti gange neenu, muDi seralende.....

samayagaLa sarapaLiyaali, kai gombeyaade.....

nanna baaLa putake neenu, hosa tiruvu tande...

ninna maretu hodare eega, badukeke munde,,

manase, naa ene madidaroo,

ninna preetigallave..

manase, manasa harise....

Manase,

ee baduku ninagagi, bavaNe ninagagi,

nanna preetiye suLLadare, jagavella suLLu allave??

I've been listening to this song, 4 days in a row now. Just can't take it out of my mind. Really floating with the same feeling.

"Manase" here stands for the heart/soul which he loves the most in the world, and in the movie, all these pleading is for Suhasini. Of course, anyone will fall for the great Suhasini Manirathnam. You love her, right!! yeah :), me too !!

Being sensible..

Will we ever be this sensible?? Ads, are not just for fun or to promote a product.

To convey a concept or an idea or to invoke a new approach & thought, the protagonist need not be a film hero or a cricketer...

Or, is it only in India, where Amitabh Bacchan has to appear on TV, to tell parents to take their babies for pulse polio vaccination.

India,... is different!!

Weekend :)

Like any other Saturdays, I left from home early in the morning, but this day being Childrens Day, decided to be on time @8:30 in the school, and managed to reach there @ 8:20 itself [on any other saturday, I reach only by 9:15 ;)]. Most of the kids there, started wishing me ;) , HAPPY CHILDRENS DAY..

Inc.1

As my colleague informed that it will take lil more time for the cake to be ready, and being the most restless person, I dropped in to the PG, where my friend stays. The girls were li'l shocked to hear someone knocking at their door, early in the morning. I literally showered chocolates like abhishekham on my friend and wished her "HAPPY CHILDRENS DAY",, and she was happy..

Inc.2

My surprise no.2 for the day was flop. I decided to do the same surprise visit to another girlie friend of mine,, but was disappointed as she had already left home for her office :( Just called her and wished her.

Inc.3

The most wonderful part of the day. Back in school, and started playing all those lovely games like "River, Bank" or "Clap your hands".. They love us when we make them write, more when we ask them to sing rhymes, and the most when we play with them ;)

Followed by cake cutting by the toppers of each section, Gifts & sweets distribution. And the event had no big bhashan about Jawahar Lal Nehru except a small talk about the importance of day. Towards the end of the day, as I came out of the school, I still had lot of kids around wishing me "HAPPY CHILDRENS DAY". I really felt I'm still a kid and would be the same till the end of my life.

Inc. 4

On the way back, it was Priya & Vid's turn to be wished "HAPPY CHILDRENS DAY". Vid's kid and me, we share a common nick name at home, so I obviously love Arnav(he is a lovely kid too). Gave him handful of chocolates to make him happy. But the best part at Vid's place was, me wishing her mom "HAPPY CHILDRENS DAY". We adore you aunty. You are one of the coolest chik, I've ever seen ;). Love your smile and they way you carry yourself gracefully. Though shocked, within seconds, she was full of smiles and wished me back ;)

Inc. 5

A ride from my place to Frazer town, just to have a samosa and cup of hot tea in Paani Kum Chaai. Can't we girls just go out on our own to such places!! Is it a crime!! These thoughts came to mind, when we 2 girls were enjoying our tea and few people around us had a shocking look on their face ... Grow up uncles :) Happy childrens day to you too.

This was my Saturday.

So, Sunday had to be super cool to match with this.

Inc. 6

Got up early and met my friend in Vijaynagar. We took a long drive in his new car, as he wanted to demonstrate his newly acquired driving skills. We went all the way to Kamat Lokaruchi for Breakfast. Love doing such crazy stuff ;)

While he enjoyed driving his car, I was busy with the music and the scenery outside. Silence is so soothing.

My weekend was really cheerful. Now, as we are right in the middle of the week, I'm already waiting for the next weekend.

Its about us!!

Little truth about girls...

Yep, these are facts,

1. They love their childhood toys even today, as much as they loved it when they were kids, or even more. And they really don't want to give it away to any, even to their own kids :)

2. They never ever get really old for chocolates/flowers as gifts.

3. A lovely red rose, or a small soft toy is always better preferred (thousand times better pref) than a chapati maker or a washing machine or a fridge as a gift for anniversary or birthday. Don't tell us, you care for her by getting chapati maker... urrggghhh

4. How much ever a girl loves being independent or being called a tom boy/ dare devil, she would still love to sit behind you in the bike or sit next to you while drive a car, coz she loves your company. That's all matters the most for her. If she ever asks for a chance to ride/drive,, she is only trying to help you and wants you chill out. (and never to hurt ur ego by showing how good rider she is,,)

5. She feels bad if people don't understand her, but she feels the worst, when people misunderstand her.

6. Yes, every time you tell her, you look beautiful, she hears it as, I love you.. it continues as,

You are looking more beautiful = I love you more

You still look beautiful ever after years = I still love you ever after years

7. Like you think Aishwarya or Angelina is beautiful, she thinks Hritik or Brad Pitt is handsome... If your ever get J , understand the same thing is happening to her...

8. When she falls in love, her love means everything to her.. Just everything..

9. When she is feeling low, if she asks for your company., it means you are one of her best friend and she is really comfortable with you.. THAT'S IT.. ( you guys,, don't have to think she is falling in love with you)

10. And the great fact is, girls can be a very great friend/company to guys, not just with their moral & emotional support, but also, challenging you in those long drives on high way, hiking, biking, trekking, talk about politics, sports, movies, and just everything you are into...... But, for her, she prefers only another girl as her best friend. She wants someone who can listen to her,, and Guys just can't listen!!

ok,, this is not the end!

My Fav!!

Poetry has been my fascination from childhood. It was only reading, but writing came as a surprise... I wrote my first poem when I was not even a teenager!! ...Well,, I never knew,, I could ever write, so hadn't tried my hands in that. But thanks to our BSB sir.. who asked all of us to write, and so, we did. And, even today, I'm so proud that my poem was the best in the class (grinn :D).....

My first poem was written in kannada and later wrote in English too (well,, the English poems I wrote are all love poems.. dedicated to my spl.one :))

And my all time fav lyrics in English is, "Nothing is gonna change my love"

Yes, I love it a lot!!

"Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you
If the road ahead is not so easy,
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too"

sweet memories !

Being crazy at times, is simply a part of me!! I cannot stop myself,, do something and have a hearty laugh,,

But the victim (always, it will be my friends) will be staring at me, as though they are going to kill me the next moment!! (no one did that so far , though!! lol)

Inc.1

A long walk with your lovely friends and having a paani puri, according to me, is a lovely way of spending an evening.

Well, I used to do that even with my colleagues (during my office hours ;) )

Its one such evening, when I decided to take a stroll with 2 of my colleagues..

We went to the near by Corner house where one friend helped herself with ice cream,, and on the way back to office, it started pouring... Lovely na,,.. woow,, rain always amazes me,,

But, there, we saw a paani puri waala and I insisted on eating paani puri, then & there, in the rain..

Chandrika being over conscious about the hygeine,, she started to give us big lecture. Well,, we didn't bother to listen to that..

As the paani puri waala gave each puris, we were happy to gulp it.. and the good thing is, by the time he gave the next puri, our plate was getting filled with rain water, so we had to spill that rain water out and take the next puris.... hmmm,, baarish paani puri tastes really good.

Well, Chandrika was really furious as she got drenched, but was forced to stay in office (ooh, we hate AC)

Inc 2

And, when I think of paani puri, I just rem another crazy incident.

Me and preeti had gone for our usual evening walk and on the way back, I insisted for a plate of p.p. Well, I ate it and asked her to pay for it. She was all shocked as she hadn't got any money (well, she never thought of any necessity of money when she is out for eve.walk!! )

I had to tell her the same, and then, very furious, she started to search in her small purse for all the coins, so that she can pay that little bill. And, everyone in that paani puri stall were having fun watching us. Well, when she gathered 10 coins at last and about to pay bhaiyya, I take out a note and paid him.

She gave me long stare and left from there without talking to me,,,hmm,, She didn't talk to me for the rest of that day!! :)

Inc 3

Hey, I'm not all that smart to fool ppl,, I get fooled too, at times by my smarty friends :)

It was on our friends' regd.marriage day ( Yeah, I mean that!!) Me and my one of my buddy, were waiting in CCD, for the ppl to come to the Reg. Office.

After having couple of costly coffees, he took my veh keys to check in the reg.office to see if all have come..

Even after half an hour, he didn't return but called me to inform to pay the bill and meet him at venue.

Well, no money (I had kept my wallet in my veh), and all stars!!!!!!

The fact is , he knew that!!!

after making me wait there for even more time (by then, I'd decided to give my mob as collateral;) in CCD ), he appeared and paid the bill!!!

*sigh*

Vaantariksh!!

Yes, It says Vaantariksh!! had never heard of that word which translates to "Aerospace" ..

right or wrong, fellas!!

Hum Tum

Hi,

I have always loved these cartoons!! and found the collection of Hum Tum cartoons here!!

Hum Tum Cartoons

check out!!

English class again!!

Just noticed, while travelling!!

and they meant... Inflammable!! (Found the same spelling on quite a few Indian Oil Corp vehicles)

Drugassi (Drug + Agassi)!! Amul Ad rocks!!

How can we ever forget the little amul girl, who is the main character in almost all Amul ads!!

And can we ever believe this girl, with Amul butter in her hand, is more than 33 yrs old ( These ads date back to 1976 :) )

The ad makers for Amul, easily adopt almost every headlines to their ads, come out with creative headings, pictures... ooops,, hats off to them!!

In this era of digital printing, this particular Amul girl ad is always painted ( i really mean PAINTING) ,,.. [There is one particular hoarding near Fun World gate of Palace ground, which always has the latest Amul Ad]

These are one of the most creative ads, I ever came across.....

Here is the latest one!!

Based on "Revelation by Agassi in his autobiography titled 'Open' that he used banned drug Crystal Meth in 1997 - Nov '09. "

If you need more of these ads, check the amul site.. :)

http://www.amul.com/hits.html

Love you, Amul :)

More fun!!

A picture, just coupled with a line or two, is louder than thousand words!!

and the other type is, just a pic is enough to make u laugh !!

Here are a blogspot, which I liked a lot!!

hope this cheers ur spirit, today!!

http://whatasign.blogspot.com/

And my fav in this is!!

pretty straight forward,, eh! :)

White wash!!

Why Indians are so fascinated about fair skin!! or are they not!!
Why often, beauty is measured also on skin color !!

When we have so many dusky beauties making headlines, winning contests, making great films and also few, achieving in other fields, does this parameter still holds good ???

All these thoughts came to me, when I recently watched Kajol in Olay ad..

We all know, Kajol, one of the greatest actress we have, is!! (was) a dusky beauty. But, how come she is so fair-skinned in the Olay Ad..

Is she so fair now, or is it the Camera trick or Post production trick or make-up man's magic??

Its not really fair, eh!!!

PS: Aishwarya rejects to be part of L'Oreal Faireness cream ad, but, John Abraham is in Garnier Men's Fairness cream (FYI Bipasha is proud of being a dusky beauty)

and ... oooohhhh forgot... even the great SRK is also in another such bakwas faireness cream ad...

I love this!!!

Hi,

I really love these new spellings!! kudos to the people who wrote them!!

We might have to bring out the new dictionary ;)

Vegiterian :)

Keep disatnce :)
