Fantasy vs. Reality

(for all the Harry Potter Fans)

Situation 1 * Locked Door welcomes me, when I'm back home.
Fantasy: Alohomora
Reality: Over the phone "Hellooooo,, Hello Amma,, where are the keys?"

Situation 2 * Half way in to sweet dreams, and lazy to get up from bed.
Fantasy: Nox
Reality: Mom's lecture in the morning, for sleeping without turning the lights off! :P

Situation 3 * Mom's gyaan sessions (obviously for some of my blunders, like the one above),,
Fantasy: Quietus
Reality: I've even tried pressing the mute button at her, but, nothing worked so far, !!

Situation 4 * A happy evening stroll, in a calm street, and spot a dog running towards me.
Fantasy: Locomotor Mortis
Reality: I would be the one, who will have legs bound, as though, the curse is back-fired. (for-a-fact, I can't walk again, till the animal is out of my sight)

Situation 5 * One of my kitchen blunders, whenever mom is out of town.
Fantasy: Reparo
Reality: Wipe the kitchen clean and remove the damaged things. And buy a new one and keep it back in the place, so that mom doesn't get a hint of what I did.

Situation 6 * Trying to learn juggling, with my mobile, and as usual I miss catching it :(
Fantasy: Reparo
Reality: Take help from people who can fix !! :(

Situation 7 * Mundane tasks which bores me to death!
Fantasy: Scourgify
Reality: Stop dreaming and clean the house.

The only sigh factor is, when you are in a dark room, hold out your mobile like a wand and say "Lumos" (and also press a button on the mobile), which emits a small beam of light, for a shortwhile ;P

Hail Politicians!!

As a kid, I was very much interested in Indian Politics (yep, I was a nut-case!!)
But, later as I learnt about the corruption, dirty politicians, their crime background, I withdrew myself from any political updates...

But, with the happenings around, this is one of the most horrible things I realized...




not that I like any political parties,,,
Royal Family, Princess, Prince... my foot!!

Naa Naguva Modalene...

Another Lyrics time..

Movie: Manasaare
Lyrics: Yograj Bhat
Music: Mano Murthy
Singer: Shreya Goshal

One of the mesmerizing song with wonderful lyrics, catchy music, sweet voice, hawty artists and cute-romantic choreography...

Na naguva modalene minugutide yaako hosa mugulu nage
Na nudiva modalene todalutide hrudayavidu olagolage
Na nadeva modalene eleyutide dari idu ninnedege
Na ariva modalene uriyutide deepavidu nannolage
Ondu baari helu mellage yaaru yaaru nee nanage

Na naguva modalene minugutide yaako hosa mugulu nage

Tilisade nanage hudukide ninna nannaya kannu
Sihi sankata saakagide munde yenu
Kalitide manavu kuniyuvudannu kandare neenu
Naanu nanna paadigiralu yaake kande nee nanage

Na naguva modalene minugutide yaako hosa mugulu nage

Kanavarikeyali ninnaya hesara karehithe hrudaya
Nanagetake nana meleye e samshaya
Bare kanasinale aguve yeke nannaya iniya
Helu omme helu iduve priti endu nee nanage

Na naguva modalene minugutide yaako hosa mugulu nage
Na nudiva modalene todalutide hrudayavidu olagolage
Na nadeva modalene eleyutide dari idu ninnedege
Na ariva modalene uriyutide deepavidu nannolage
Ondu baari helu mellage yaaru yaaru nee nanage

( I always feel this song is an apt girl's solo love song as answer to "Mungaru Maleye" song from Mungaru Male -- well, the same Yograj Bhat n Mano Murthy combi has worked for that song. Take a bow, master)

A very sweet morning!!!

Pillow hugs me tight,

Doesn't let me see the morning,

I travel in dreams..

Thru the closed eyes,

I see you, looking back at me,

With a smirk on face..

Lingers, on my lips,

Memories of shared sweetness,

Lightening a coy smile..

Thousands memories,

Keeping my dreams very awake,

I thought, it's Happiness..

And,

as I roll in joyous sleep,

Held me in an embrace,

Your soft caressing hands,

Oh, reality is so beautiful

n such is bliss…

SWEET for the loved,

& means NOTHING for the world,

Sweet nothings.

I am a girl....

Yes...... I'm a girl....:-)

I push doors that clearly says PULL :-)

I laugh harder when I try to explain why I 'm laughing :-D

I walk into a room and forget why I was there B-)

I count on my fingers when doing maths :-p

I try to accomplish things with time still on the microwave :-/

I lie sometime to hide the pain :-(

I cry a lot more than you think I do ;-(

I am not so strong as my smile seems to be :-)

I get attached to peopl who care even a little about me

A broken nail is as painful as a broken heart ;-)

I say its a long story when it's really not :-x

I fall in love too hard.. too fast... :-/

I just need one warm hug, EVERYTIME.... <3

I may look tom-boyish, but I want my love to treat me as girl... ;)

And I always care more than I can :-)

Yes, I'm a Girl and I.m proud of it..... :-D

Symptoms of falling in love and .....

* Not able to have food properly!

* Not having proper sleep in the night!

* When you are out with friends, you still feel some part of you, has been left behind!

* Always look like as though lost in thoughts!

* Not being able to have discussion with people about deep things (& normal things too)!

* Palms are sweaty coz of nervousness!

* Irrespective of the hot temperature outside, one still shivers!

* Not being able to do the normal day-to-day things accurately!

* You've only one thought on your mind!

and

* dil always goes hmmmm!!!!

What the heck!! Who said these symptoms are just for "Falling in Love"!!

Sure gonna have the same symptoms, if you've your exams just around the corner, and if you've never touched the books!! (But, still hoping to come off with flying colors)

Me having these symptoms, doesn't mean I love my exams :)

Of Course, I Love You..!

Debashish's Love, Sex & Dhoka Story

PS: All the numerous girlfriends before Devika & Smriti are ignored for obvious reasons (Space issue in the Graph :D )

PPS: If you add, couple of lousy characters with hundreds of "F" words, assume you've already finished reading the book.

PPPS: Desperate attempts to tell the readers that Deb & Avantika's sex relationship is True Love, will usually have no effect on any!!

PPPPS: I felt bad for Tanmay, as both his sister and his girlfriend try to hit on Deb!!

PPPPPS: If the author intended to write about his college and placement story, he has horribly deviated from the topic.

PPPPPPS: Not all are Chetan Bhagat

I'm bored of writing anymore PP....Ss!!

But must say, "Of Course, I Love You..!! till I find someone better" the lousiest book I ever read!

As a kid...

• I thought English was a subject, and I had no reason to study!!
  
• And, “Arts” in college meant, painting/drawing/sketching.. and I felt it was too cool..
• I was shy, silent and was always daydreaming!! (Nope, I was never chashmish girl :D)
• I was so damn hooked to the books/novels,,
• As in those fairy tales, I thought we can actually sit on the cloud!!
• Any place which I’d not seen, meant a wonderland for me.. I’d imagined a big thick forest with wonderful falls, near our school (right in the center of Bangalore!!)..
• Anyone, whom I’ve not seen and spoken to, is superhuman being with limitless un-earthen talents. (My imagination those days, would put even Shaktimaan, Superman, Batman, Spiderman et al to shame :D)..Exception to this was my teachers – they were any day super human beings, coz they knew everything there in the book..
• I knew the secret for Phantom being immortal and I felt so proud that I wouldn’t share the secret with any ;)
• Wondered why the water in the sea doesn’t spill when the earth is rotating!!
• Cardamom, Orange, Banana, Apple were manufactured in factory!! And I found the finishing marvelous..
• When I first read about Black hole, I hoped Sun will also get that aged one day, and then I could have those few extra mins of sweet sleep, as mom would think it is still night!! :D
• I heard the word "Financial Regulations" in news, and I thought it meant, all the bank officials will go on shopping spree with Govt money..

Growing up at times, has a disadvantage.. It makes us come out the blissful world we, as kids, created around ourselves.. I’ve surely grown beyond the thoughts mentioned above. But coming to think of it, the world was a happier place then.

And I believe, it’s the kids, from whom we actually should learn what is to be keen on learning always, to accept completely, the pure love, to laugh heartily, to be non-judgmental, to be unbiased and list goes on…….

And, I'm sure, even you'll had some weird thoughts/ideas, as a kid.. Come on!!Share with everyone :)

PS: Thanks to Sonu and Geetha, I recently heard the tracks from the movie "Sanju weds Geetha" and loved it.. Here is the title track from the movie..

Go Direct....

Message is very clear:

Vinay Pathak will not take anyone to ATM in his auto.

and with Visa Debit Card: to Cinema: Go Direct

to Shopping: Go Direct

to Restaurant: Go Direct

but, isn't the ad missing something... ummmmm.. something very important..

When the guy gets down from the auto, is he supposed to handover the card to auto driver!!???

not a bad idea..

check out the ad below, it's really possible to Go Direct :D

Minor Details...

Well, I'm not talking about the movie, but about the movies!!

I've a penchant for observing the minutest details in movies... Bloopers can be many.. Even the great movies like Titanic, Inception, 3 Idiots are packaged with few glitches… While these are realized by an easy open eyes, which makes us laugh…….There are few other noteworthy things in some movies, which makes us open our eyes wide open!!

Like,

In the movie Kaminey, the very first dialogue delivered by Sweety (Piggy Chops) is actually a path-breaking step in the History of Indian Cinema.. Her line is "Aakhir naiya doob hi gayi".. Which Indian Heroine till then ever told the hero, that she is pregnant for his baby, even before marriage, as an opening line... Only PeeFee could do that!! [In fact, that movie has so many other titbits, erotic at times, through out the movie, waiting for the keen eyes to bring them out...]

In the movie Jab we met, Aditya Kashyap (Shahid Kapoor) has a very silent entry and starts his train journey for his own reasons, only to open his mouth after some 15 minutes and tell Geet (Kareena) - "tum ho meri problem!".. wooww.. but that's not the way movie continues! :)

In the movie Rang de basanti, the very first and last sentence which Karan (Siddarth) mutters is "Nautanki Saala" and both the times, it’s told about DJ (Aamir).. (Liked his dialogue delivery issshtyle! :) )

In “Dil Chahta Hai”, the words with which Akash (Aamir) proposes Shalini (Preity), in the beginning of the movie for fun and the actual proposal at the end, are same!! “"shalini main tumse aur sirf tumse pyar karta haun..mere haar sanse, haar dhadkan,haar paal main tum ho aur srif tum ho..mujhe yaakin hain main sirf is liye janma hoon ke tumse mil sakoon..aur tum sirf is liye ki ekdin meri baan jao...tum mere ho shalini..aur agar tum apni dil se puchogi..to jaan logi..ki main such keh raha hoon...” (ussshoooo, fultoo romantic :D)

In the movie, "Hum Apke Hai Kaun", neither Prem (Salman) nor Nisha (Madhuri) say I love you, to each other... (watch the movie again, if you've doubts ;) )... One of the most beautiful love story in Indian Cinema with out the lovelee 3 words :)

No doubt, 3 idiots is one of the incredibly brilliant movies, but, till now, I've not understood, why the kid wore the space suit in the Skitsal school ground, that too in the hot sun!!… Can anyone tell me! :)

Well, this one is a very long pending post! What triggered me to write now, is the same observation!

While writing my previous post, the Britannia Time pass ad which is part of the post, caught my attention and made me watch all the other Britannia Time Pass ads

Here are couple of them...

The clue is very much given in this post itself… Hope you recognize … :)

Around the Cricket God!!

Saw the Padma Awardees list, and happy that few of the deserving have got in!! The award has really not lost its worth completely!..

The one which I liked the most is Dr.S.P.Balasubramanyam for Padma Bhushan. I almost worship him :) It’s not just the talent/genuis which makes him great, but the modesty and simplicity which he carries makes my idol, a super star.

He is one singer who has got state awards in most of the languages he has sung. In fact, the Karnataka Govt., literally rejected the award, for the very reason that he not a kannadiga by birth (whatte crap thought by the state!! SPB is divine…. No one gives him an award, they are only honored to do it!!,,. ) And, I, very religiously checked out the state awardees list, every year, till one fine day, I found what I was looking for!!! Even to this day, I remember my happiness in that moment!!

Padma Bhushan for Shri Rudrapatna Krishna Shastry Srikantan, is a very pleasant surprise. He hails from Rudrapatna, a village with rich music heritage. (I would be as much happy as I’m now, irrespective who from that place is felicitated: D , undying respect for Rudrapatna Brothers). The 2 famous musical concerts during Ramanavami are, one in Fort High School, Bangalore and the other is in Rudrapatna, Hassan. What makes Rudrapatna more appealing is the very fact that, for few of the concerts, the stage is simply a "teppa" in middle of river. Listening to fav music, by great musicians, in the moon light and on the banks of Kaveri,,,,, ooh, just the thought, makes me feel ecstatic!!

And the most disappointing one is…….

In spite of so many appealing, recommendations sent by his peers, colleagues, other sportsmen, fans followings, the so called thinkers and even the PMO (basically everyone who appreciates his contributions to cricket), he has not been chosen for Bharat Ratna.. Yes, I’m speaking about the very Indian and The Cricket God, Sachin Tendulkar, and the prime reason why I looked at the list…

When almost everyone thought its right age for Sachin to retire, he came back with a bang, an ever fantasy of every batsman, an unbeatable double century in One day cricket. And the following words, as cited in ICF , so suits his show, not just on that day, but every master piece performance in his career…

"Give a top class artist a canvas. Give him a room and give him a vista. See what he comes up with. For the art produced thereof we credit the artist himself; not the canvas for its whiteness and blankness. Not the room for the comfort it offered. Not even the vista for its having conveniently presented itself. They are all incidental. Art is transcendental. So too is Tendulkar's batting. "

And here is a poem, a must read, by one of my blogger friend about Sachin Tendulkar, a dedication when he completed 20 years (whoaaa!) in the game..

The Little Master

Poise Glows,
Greatness Speaks.
The Willow Caresses.

White or Red it be,
Greeting the leather With,
An Ever So Beautiful Stroke.

Twenty Years,
Spent In a Zillion Overs.
A nation's hopes on his Shoulders.

Him Driving Off and On,
We Win Or We Lose,
Victory Is already Ours.

He Stands along with a Few,
Who nurture our Hope,
Who Humble Us,
Who Unite Us.

What He Has Given,
We Know No One can ever,

As they say,
If the sport be a religion,
He Is God.

Greatness Speaks,
Poise Glows,
The Willow Caresses.

----------------------------
An Ode to the man,
20 years for India.
If Cricket was A game of One,
We are champions Over and Over.
Forever.

-By Nanda Kishore

No offence intended, Mr.Shashi Kapoor has been awarded Padma Bhushan this year, whereas he is officially retired ages ago. Shouldn’t people be considered for their achievements and rewarded, when they are in the peak of their performance and not sometime later……And, about Sachin, one of the reason we hear is, he is still very young (compared to other awardees!! Grrr,,,), but, whether we like it or not, he’ll retire one fine day, and now is the time to confer!! (hmmm I understand, why people think this award is loosing its worth in the years!!)

Well, World cup season is just around the corner, and as usual, I’m gonna support the Indian Team (needless to say, eh :P ) … I agree Sachin can do wonders, but can’t expect the miracle from Indian team always, as I found, few names in the team this time, are there as part of the management quota (shame!! ) , I only pray my team to perform at their best and I hope to enjoy the great sport.

Flashback time:

The very word “World cup” makes me feel nostalgic.. taking me back to the “League of students” days. It was the name, which I was attracted to, in the beginning. I was lucky enough to live in a typical Vatara (found in old Bangalore areas), and all the kids residing there get a free membership to the League: D.

Eat, Play, watch TV, movies…., heaven was life!! As part of League’s activities, we participated in the summer and winter games, (we had our own tournaments, of carom, chess, other music competitions, quiz and many more).. Having fun was more important than winning it!! And we did it.

The sigh factor for all the elders was, they always knew, kids are always in company, and would be in any of those various houses in the lane.. We all jammed up in one house and watched numerous movies.. .ohooo!! :D ,

And it’s in those days I watched my first World Cup tournament, 1995. No one could stand those hooting and shouting during the match, and the effect: elders never preferred to watch any matches with the kids: D :P (very understanding parents ;) )

We burnt crackers when Jadeja saved India team in Quarter finals against Pakistan, we cried when we horribly lost the match against Srilanka in semis!!

And, in the next season, when India team made hilarious score and defeated the same Srilanka team by 157 runs, we danced!! Typical jumba laka :D

Phew! Watching world cup can never be so much fun ever again!!

*************************************************************************************

And, for all the fun loving people...

2010

2010 - I'm so happy that you made me little more wise, realise who my true friends are, and for the energy you gave to put my best effort for things I wanted to start and to continue the good things from the past, to love , to laugh, to live, to celebrate life. Than anything else, I completely accept you, as you're part of my life..
