Tequila shot....

We threw a Bachelorette Party to one of my closest friend who is getting married this Friday.

So apart from the many things that we did (sshhhhhhhhhh...), we broke his drinking virginity :)

For the starters we got him Vodka , of which he very reluctantly took few gulps. And since we planned to make him drink one more kind of alcohol notably tequila shot, we bargained with him that we will finish his remaining vodka and in turn he will take a tequila shot.

So after many convincing sounding theories he agreed and we ordered one tequila shot for everyone. Now this was first time when I was having tequila so I had some "expectations" about it being too hard.  And honestly the moment I took it I got to know that the expressions they show on movies or tv when the actors take a tequila shot is all fake. It was not at all hard and we even din't feel like licking a lemon. I  agree that it may take more than one shot to experience the true sense but still I was expecting even the first shot to be little strong.

But overall a nice rocking party ...

Best --> Good --> Worst, Good --> Better --> Best

This year something strange is happening in my life.

Whenever something good or rather best starts happening in my life, I think of sharing the joy with you people but due to my bad habit of losing sheen of things that I think or see over twice, I somehow fail in writing that.

Like I said about my habit, sometimes I read a joke which I find really funny and think of sharing with others but by the time I copy paste it on the compose box or type on my cell phone, it loses all its charm and I feel it ain't that funny and discard the typed stuff.

So like I was saying, this year few things happened which were really worth sharing at their moment of occurence, but before I could finally get myself to write them out they completely changed color.

And had it happened just once I would have discarded them as one off incidence but they have become so frequent that I have to notice.

Say for example yesterday when India was batting as always I was feeling tensed and critical of God for the way he was batting but yet again he amazed me and showed why he is the greatest player ever. The way he batted in the middle overs, hitting sixes at ease when least expected, again demonstrated that he will never be done with showing something new every time he goes out. I know I owe numerous blog posts to him for what he has done for me and my happiness but that will still have to wait.

So I logged on to my laptop and thought of sharing this on blog but again somehow I procastinated and see what happened. We played such an awful game that I have started to doubt whether we will be able to win it even this time or not.

Like this just at the start of the year, one of friend gave a very good news about himself and we all were really excited and ever since that happened I was dying to share about it on blog and had planned a line of posts related to it but after delaying it for a while when I finally decided to go ahead everything falled apart..same happened with another friend.....and trend continues....

Aaj Mein Khush hun ...

My friend asked me today, are you okay? I wasn't surprised because I knew why this question was coming but still asked him, why what happened? No just the way your blog posts are nowadays, doesn't go with your personality.

The reason I wasn't surprised by his question was because I am myself little astonished with my attitude since last few weeks. I am happy and going by my history since last few years its been a rarity. I have always found or done something which won't be taken as a state of being happy or sane. So its a surprise for those people who have been with me in those years to see me to be like a normal realistic figure.

So what has actually changed? MahaStri once told me that A person is as happy as he wants to be. True. I always new that and I still choosed to be sad at that time and now I choose to be happy. Its not that at that time I dint have reasons to be happy or now I don't have reasons to be upset. In fact I have enough reasons.

One of my friend is worried with his marriage. He has heeded to his parents request to see girls and he is confused with every girl that he is seeing, thinking whether what he is being shown is the true self or not, whether she is right one for him or not? Also he had to do MBA and he is not able to make into any good college yet and on top of that currently he is out of project at his workplace.

Another friend is upset because his friend couldn't clear a placement interview and her family is quite upset with her which in turn makes her upset and hence him. And soon he will be asked to get married and he will have to make his moves quickly. Plus his project his getting delayed.

Then there is another who left his job which he calls slavery to start his own franchise of a coaching institute which is still in its nascent stage and his family is upset with him as currently he is not earning anything. Another had to attend her friends wedding and visit her home but she couldn't attend as she had class to take which apparently got cancelled later and also she is upset that she is still not earning anything and her PhD seems far from over. There are two of my friends who first did engineering but couldn't get a job then they did MBA but still are not able to get any job.

Another is not getting good money in his job and on top of that he doesn't have anything to do as there are no projects. He also met with an accident recently and although he din't get hurt but his bike got damaged. Then there is another who is worried because her brother is not getting a job.

So I am surrounded with all these lovely people who somehow are bit concerned with their present state. And I know apparently I don't have any individual reasons to be upset with my life and these are the major issues which I should be concerned about. And the least I can do for these people is be Happy and in turn give them little happiness.

My friend once told me "khud ki zindagi bhi narak banaoge or humari bhi with your stupid thoughts" din't like this statement but know its the truth. Even If you can't be happy with yourself then also you have no right to effect others life because of that.

And not only that, I am quite genuinely happy with life, as I have already mentioned earlier too I feel quite light in my heart nowadays.

Anyways why should I complain if I am happy :-)

A New Year ...

That day of the year when you get to change the digits of the yy field in the date although unlike school or college we no longer have to write the complete date everyday on the top of the class book but still for certain things we do need to put it in the year. So the way this new year day started or went I feel the year will be quite interesting. 

In the morning I was quite irritated but nevertheless was happy to be out of love (most of the time when I say love it means romantic love ) or feelings related to it. Don't know but don't have those feelings for anyone any more. Then took a bath quickly because of two reasons. Didibhai reminded me that its essential to take bath on the first day of the year otherwise you won't take regular baths throughout the year. Although I told her that I don't think I took a bath on the first day last year but still I was more than regular throughout the year. Nevertheless the second reason was that I had to go outside to buy a sketch book for a friend who has of late started sketching and she has already done some wonderful work. I have also decided to start learning the same. Actually one of my other friend once told me that one way to pass time is to make or buy gifts for your friends so thought I can atleast pass time buying things for my friend. Also I had to watch Avtar. 

So I went to watch Avtar. It was an ok movie. With the amount of money used to make it, it could have been much better. But nevertheless must appreciate the effects. They gave the movie a mixture of real and animated appearance. Then bought the sketch book and some drawing pencils. 

Had a long discussion about the investment and loans with Mom n Dad and it seems this year is gonna be an interesting one for our family possessions too. Well overall an interesting day. 

Although the new year has started and I am almost finished with my previous years but still need to share my experience about my trip to Bengal and Bhubaneshwar. Anyways I know I will need to do a lot of sharing this year so wishing a Very Happy N Prosperous new year to my blog. We will rock :-). 

Well will definitely update about the whackiest list that I made for last year and will also come up with the one for this year. So till then enjoy ...

:)

Attended 3 weddings in a single night yesterday :) 

Incidentally one was of my college teacher (she just taught one semester and currently working in public sector)and another was of my college Junior . The third one was of my friend's sister's.


After a long time something I planned and accomplished :)


And as always it felt really good to spend some time with my ex-office friends(I have to write ex-office to highlight when we became friends and why I am close to those people). Really miss those guys :(

Wake Up Sid ...

Have started writing this on 2nd October the day I watched Wake Up Sid but some how din't complete it.

So that day Me, Dev and Innocent Devil went to watch Wake Up Sid. Well as most of you might have already seen it so not much to say about it.

It’s nice movie, one time watch types but could have been much better.

The reason I wanted to write about it is the incident that happened while we were watching the film. The film has one or two touching scenes between Ranbir Kapoor and Supriya Pathak who plays his Mom in the movie.

First when Ranbir is at his home all frustrated and shocked knowing that he has failed his exams and his Mom starts saying that how could you fail so he shouts that “What you know about passing and failing when you yourself have never been to school”

Then after a fight with his Dad on that he leaves home.

Then when he is shooting( clicking photos) his next door neighbor and her child he remembers his mother and goes back to meet her. Her mother has a habit of trying to talk to him in English and since she doesn’t know a word of it she generally sounds very funny and weird. So at that time he tells her Mom why you try to talk to me in English when you don’t know it. Then his mother says that its because as she feels that then only she has a chance of becoming his friend and it seriously makes you feel so bad thinking all the time when your parents try to do things which they don’t know how to do but they still try just for the sake of their child. For example like your mother trying to eat in a restaurant with a fork and spoon just not to embarrass you (My mom was the only person in my family who used to eat Dosa so elegantly and easily with fork and spoon and it was we who used to embarrass her by eating with our hand), so this example is more from a TV Advertisement in which the Mom who is around 60 years old sitting in a 5 star hotel looks so confused seeing all the people around her eating with fork and spoon, so on noticing that her son puts his fork and spoon down and starts eating with his hands and signals his mom to start eating, ending her confusion.

Well coming back to the incident that happened. So after this scene made me emotional, wanting to talk to my Mom and in general the atmosphere touchy, the movie continued. After 10-15 minutes of that scene the phone of the person who was sitting behind me ranged and it was his Mom. I just happened to listen to the conversation as he was sitting so close. His Mom was inquiring about his health and whether he has taken his medicines or not but he very abruptly hanged the phone telling her that he was in a meeting and will talk later.

Ok now I am not commenting whether what the guy did was right or wrong but I just felt bad. I don’t know may be I have lied to my Mom a hell lot of times when I was a kid but now I know one person with whom I can be honest is My Mom. Anyways she is “Mother” so no matter how hard you try you can never lie to her, she understands you so well that she will at once catch you lying or will understand the thing without the need to give an excuse or lie.

I don’t have to tell her that I was out with my friends watching a movie she will get it anyway so what’s the need to lie?

Anyways I guess the scene before and the incident that followed made me just little upset with people in general.

The movie again highlights how important it is for people to understand their responsibilities, to value their parents who have sacrificed and tried so much for their children. And of course the fact that friends are always there and forever and if you have any such friend just hold them tightly.

Nevertheless a time pass movie especially watching with two most eligible bachelors :- p.

PS: I might have goofed up with the exact wordings of the dialogue I cited as its been long since I watched it.

FRIENDS Again...

Well yesterday I reached home little late owing to the heavy traffic jam on the way and as always as soon as I reached home I switched on the TV to watch FRIENDS. I could not make out which season they are playing but there were few incidents in the two episodes that are worth mentioning (It was season 4, Episode 5-6). It involves the other character apart from the six of them , who I feel is also an eternal part of the series. The character is Gunther.

Well in the first episode , the incident was as follows:

Phoebe catches cold and because of that her voice becomes little harsh but she thinks that adds a peculiarity to her Singing. But soon she gets well but Monica catches it, so she does all the weird stuffs to get it back so that she can again sing like when she had cold. But unfortunately despite all her weird efforts she fails to catch cold. Then at the coffee house, just when Gunther was serving coffee , he sneezes. Seeing this Phoebe asks him to kiss so that she can catch the cold and before Gunther could react, she kisses him.

Now the funny part starts , at the end of the episode when they are running the credits, Gunther approaches Rachel and following is the conversation that goes.

Gunther: Rachel?

Rachel: Yeah.

Gunther: I don't know if you heard about what happened between me and Phoebe the other day_

Rachel: No!

Gunther: Well, we kissed. I-I-I didn't initiate the kiss, but-but I also didn't stop it, and I've been feeling guilty.

Rachel: (confused) Okay.

Gunther: So umm, are we cool?

Rachel: (really confused) Okay.

Gunther: I knew you'd understand.

(Gunther walks away, leaving Rachel with a `What just happened?' look on her face.)

It was so funny....... Unexpressed love can at times make you do stupid things but it can be the best thing that might have happened.

Well in the following episode another incident happens between the two, which goes like this...

[Scene: Central Perk. Rachel is sitting on the couch alone working on a crossword puzzle. Gunther is there, going into the back room.]

Rachel: I did it! Oh! I finished it! I did it all by myself! And there's nobody to hug!

[From the background we hear a crash and Gunther comes running out of the back room, pushing people aside, reaching for Rachel.]

Gunther: Move!

[Gunther slips and falls just before reaching the back of the couch. Monica and Phoebe come into Central Perk.]

Rachel: Hey! Hey, you guys, I finished the crossword all by myself! Hug me!

[Gunther gets up slowly from behind the couch and walks away sadly]

Poor Gunther...........Still remember him expressing his love to Rachel in the last episode of last season and she like most, not taking it the way he meant, just replies I love you too.....

FRIENDS......

Well as part of my daily routine , after reaching home around 7:00 without even keeping my bag down, I quickly run to the TV room and switch on Star World to catch on the episode of Friends.

So a part of yesterday's episode showed something which was quite cheesy as well as touchy.

Not going much into the background of things will straight away come to the point.

Ross had to decide whether he should stay with Julie or break up with her to be with Rachel who has confessed to him about having feelings for him.

So here is Ross with Chandler and Joe in their apartment, discussing what he should do. So Chandler who has recently purchased a Laptop and was boosting about using it , suggested that they
should make a list of pros and cons for both of the girls using the spread sheet on his notebook.

Joe suggests that lets only list the cons as they are more interesting. So they start with Rachel

Ross - She is little spoilt. She is a waitress whereas Julie is paleontologist. etc... and Joe adds she has chubby ankels......then Ross says I don't know what else.

So Chandler seeing him worried ,says lets do Julie now and Ross thinks and then say...her problem is "She is not RACHEL"

So the last line sounded so cool.... when you love someone and they are not with you then who so ever you try to see next, you try to find the resemblance of that same person in them...you try to find the things , relate the things to the previous person and you will never be successful because every person is different,what you like in one person is not the reason that makes you like the other as every one is so different from everyone else but we still try to search the same person in everyone....we just can't let go and except the other person for what they are or what they are not....

Although I couldn't complete the episode as I had to run for my guitar class but after that Rachel comes to that room and Ross has just arrived after breaking up with Julie so he tells Rachel and asks her for a walk and as he goes to fetch her coat , Rachel somehow stares at Chandler's laptop and sees her name , so she pesters them to let her see what is written and although the three guys try to divert or tell her that Chandler is writting a short story in which one of the character's name is Rachel but she still grabs that sheet which Chandler has by mistake already printed now and reads all the cons that are written for her and when she comes to Julie's list ..the only line their is that "She is not RacheM"(lol..Chandler has mistyped it) and she shouts at Ross and gets angry reading what he thinks of her and when he says that for Julie he wrote She is not Rachel and not Rachem , she says how would I know that Rachem is not some word related to Paleontology as she is just waitress ......I couldn't see further as I had to leave and they run a back to back episode daily from 7-8...so I have missed it and even the next..and I also don't remember my past viewings so don't know how it was corrected.

But nevertheless as always its the best thing to do in the whole day.

Hit by Recession...

The whole world since last few months have been hit by grave economic recession which has rendered so many people jobless, have shutdown so many factories, even forced people to kill themselves and their families. Anyways I am not going to write about that in this post although last week I had a direct impact of that at my work place...but anyways.

This recession is the recession of the hair line...Although I should have written about this when this thing was brought to our group’s notice by Mr NRI, but at that time it was more of something that amused me than causing any unwanted concern.

When guys are growing up, actually have never heard from any of the girl about this, so I am not generalizing it for both the sexes, so I was saying that when guys are growing up they generally worry about having a girlfriend which according to me, as I have understood now with age, is more of a desire to have a companion with whom you can share yourself, which again for me can be refined as something independent of the sex of the person, I mean now I feel that the companion can be a guy or a girl but just someone close and now since we all are on the verge of completing our silver jubilee in this world and most of us are either still Single and Available or in some cases Single and (Un)Available so that factor of concern has lost some of its desperation. So as pointed by Mr NRI, we have a new concern for this age that is concern for our receding hair line.

When he came to India last Diwali, he was always spotted wearing a cap. So after some successful persuasion we were able to see what lied beneath that and to my astonishment all the free flowing long strands of hair that he used to sport in college was now replaced by a growth of tiny hairs which resembled a freshly mowed lawn.
Initially we thought that as he has become half Chinki, so he is sporting a hairstyle like those people but then with a heavy heart he told us that the water of abroad has not suited him and because of that he is having a very rapid hair loss. Each day he is scared to look at the bathroom floor after having a bath as instead of water the whole floor gets covered with his hair. He has been losing sleep over that and had been asking people who once sported long hair to get some remedy. This all amused me , as I thought what’s the big deal. Anyways its hereditary in my family, so anyhow I am going to be bald like my Dad and my uncles, so it didn’t concern me much. But I always knew that Mr NRI will be over cautious about such things. It was quite amusing to see him literally count the hair of every male friend he met and it was fun to see him give a sigh of relieve saying “Iske mujhse kam hai :)”.

So he decided that before going back he will see a Hair specialist and will get some medicine. He also decided to get bald before he leaves, so that he can grow it from start :) and will also be able to find the spots which have become barren, so that he can treat those areas.

So every time we met, he used to wear a cap, even when he cooked dinner for all of us so that none of his hairs can make their way to the delicious food they cooked for us. Even Innocent Devil shared his experience about hair loss, which was very evident at last holi when these guys smeared his scalp with colours. He shared the info from the doctor he met, what remedies he mentioned etc. Even Chuck Norris mentioned about the treatment he is undergoing. He told us to use a mild shampoo everyday and not to apply oil.

Overall it was an entertaining experience for me to see them change with age :)

Now I think the next area of concern for them is marriage. Already all of them are fighting not to be the first among the group to get married. And hopefully one of them will succumb to pressure :)

Jat and Gattu...

While sitting at Cafe Coffee Day, Hiten was finding it hard to pass his time, waiting for his friend Jatin aka Jat and Rotty. He has already gone through the menu so many times that he can repeat it in typical waiter style to people looking to order. Just then a familiar song blurted out from somewhere “Chahe to tum kuch na kaho , maine sun liya..”. He turned back and saw a girl looking at her phone. He went back to the time when he was out of town and being on roaming, he could not reply to “her”, so every time she used to message, he used to give her a missed call. So in reply to one of those fortunate miss call, she messaged and told him that “You know what, my ringtone is Chahe tum kuch na Kaho, maine sun liya”. So looking at the smiling girl whose phone just rang reminded him of that incident and brought a smile on his face.

Anyhow coming back to his not so fortunate present, he still could not see any trace of his friends. It has been a while since he last got an opportunity to hang out with Jat. Although the reason he can say, just to put the blame on him, ever since Jat has been in relationship with Geetika aka Gattu, he does not have much time for his male friends, but Hiten knows that the real reason has been that Hiten himself has been going little busy with his work since last few months. So he could not hang out much with those guys.

Jat, Gattu, Rotty, Aditi aka Adi and Hiten had been integral part of each other’s life, so it rarely used to be a case when they haven’t talked for days. Most of the time they used to hang out together but with their plunge into professional world their hangouts had been less frequent although Jat, Rotty and Hiten still used to be together most of the times. But still they used to communicate on phone. But of late Hiten has started being little busier. So finally they decided to meet and watch the new flick “Dev D”. As Hiten was coming after attending to some work, they decided to meet directly at the multiplex, so here he is waiting for those two.

Thinking of Gattu, he imagined the day when Gattu proposed Jat...yep man SHE did. All five of them had been friends since school and although each one of them used to share everything with each other, somehow there are always few people in a group who are much closer to each other. So Jat and Gattu from the start always used to have a special liking for each other. They were two people who were FRIENDS and although in school all five of them used to spend a lot of time together, but after school both Jat and Gattu joined the same college, so that added fuel to the fire and slowly-slowly their liking got converted into love and as “people” say the essential of a true love is that you need not have to give words to your emotions and contrary to these lines from Jagit Sahab’s Ghazal “Hum lubo se keh na pae hale dil apna kabhi, aur wo samjhe nahi ye Khamoshi kya cheez hai”, they never had to say anything to each other and it was understandable. But as Hiten says sometimes it’s essential even in a perfect relation like this to speak it out, so one day Gattu went down on one knee with a rose in her hand and said “Tum to kabhi kahoge nahi” and uttered those magical words to Jat. It was so beautiful.

Again Hiten looked desperately at his watch, only 10 minutes to go before the movie starts. He had already called them so many times and each time he heard “Bas phaunch gae”. So typical of them.

So he got up, tired of sitting for long and started walking along the corridor, looking at the various shops buzzing with people shopping. Just then his eyes stopped at a woman who was making gestures from her hand. She was explaining something to guy who was standing next to her and to his astonishment the guy was replying to her in the same way. Both were giggling and laughing. They were married and it din’t took him long to understand that they were using sign language to talk. Both of them looked so happy. They made gestures to each other every time they looked at something, as if commenting and teasing each other. Soon they entered Haldiram’s and he couldn’t follow any further. That small incident makes him feel how beautiful life can be at times. Two people suffering from disabilities can understand each other so easily is such a lovely thing. God may have given them those sufferings but at the same time he has filled their lives with love to face all those disabilities bravely.

What had happened if one of them did not have any disabilities or maybe it was still the case as Hiten did not know for sure whether both of them were dumb and deaf or not.

Such a strange thing is love. Sometimes it happens between two totally opposite people and sometimes between two people who find similarity in each other and in both cases I feel they fall in love with the something which they like in the other , which is a reflection of what they themselves want or have.

Rohit aka Rotty.... I

“Are Jaldi Bhag nahi to Bus miss ho jaegi”, seeing the standing DTC bus at the stop , I shouted and increased my speed hoping desperately to catch it so that we will be saved from the horrendous bus ride in the private buses, which according to the passengers is full the moment they step their foot into and which for the conductor is never full even when he has close to 10 people hanging from both the doors.

In these private buses, you can always hear each of the conductor nearby the two doors shouting to the people standing there “Are undar ho jao, kitne jagah hai wahan beech me”.
From outside, on seeing the amount of people boarding it at every stop you simply wonder that this bus is somewhat similar to the tents you see in Harry Potter movies which seem so small from outside but on entering it you see that its nothing less than a huge palace but these are similar to tents only from outside.

Ok now coming back to work in hand. Somehow I felt that the DTC bus was not moving as if just waiting for us, I thought may be the bus conductor or driver has seen us running behind it or maybe he just wants to pick some passengers in this somewhat empty Friday afternoon but soon I saw the actual reason, a trailer was parked ahead of it and driver was honking desperately for it to move. I thanked the trailer driver in my heart and soon reached the bus and jumped inside. On finding it somewhat less crowded, I dropped my bag on the seat in front of gate and then looked back to see my friend who was right behind me.

What I saw, having known him for so many years, did not seem un usual to me. Hero was hanging from the door with his right hand outstretched ala DDLJ. He later told me as always that I should always roam with my guitar so that I could play a song whenever he wants me to, in this case he imagined me playing the DDLJ Tujhe Dekha to.... tune in the background.

I raised myself little from the seat and could see from the window a Girl running with a black bag hanging rather falling from her shoulder. By one hand she was holding on to her bag and by other she was trying to remove the hairs that were falling on her face. Since the driver was still trying hard to find his way across the trailer, I thought she will make without a problem but then suddenly it started moving. I got up but our hero I saw was cool, he just bent little more, quite sure to grab her hand and pull her up.

For once I thought that the DTC conductor will look up from his routine of counting the cash or tearing the ticket from the pack and look behind and signal the driver to stop but instead I saw him whistle for the driver to move. I looked outside,she was still running hard and hopefully the bus has not picked up speed yet.

Soon she was near the rear end of the bus and like our hero thought, I even thought it’s going to happen. Just then I saw her stop. A car from nowhere appeared (ok it was always there but we did not notice). She very casually boarded it leaving our hero stranded with his outstretched hand.

I was disappointed but at same time amused too.

He very calmly pulled himself little back and banged his same outstretched hand on the bus shouting “Border, border....”

That’s Rohit or as I call him Rotty........

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Arguably the best stress buster for me. No matter how bad I feel or how low I am feeling I just need to see one episode of this serial and I feel so refreshed , so happy. Just feel like life is again injected in me.

I din't see this sitcom when it was getting aired for the first time. I used to hear from people that it is one of the best comedy sitcom but I never felt the urge to see it. But few months back, I decided to download this and watch it and see what so good about it. And once I started watching it, I din't stop before I watched every episode till season 10. And even now when I have completed it , I see it again whenever I need a laugh or just idling around.

Well most of the people know what it is all about but just to mention, its a story of six friends Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Joey and Phoebe, who have their own shares of joys and troubles. Ross's wife is lesbian and she leaves him and after that he gets married to Emily but at the time of wedding instead of taking her name he utters Rachel and then he marries Rachel when both of them are drunk at Vegas and get that marriage annulled too but at the end of season 10 he gets her back(something people who have not seen the complete series should not know :)). Then we have Rachel who runs away on her marraige day as she doesn't love that guy and then she lands up at Monica's who is her school time friend and starts her independent life where she first works as a waitress then follows her dream of working in fashion world. She falls in love with Ross, breaks up, then have a baby with him and finally gets back to him. Then we have Monica who is Ross's little sister, she is a chef and is quite particular about keeping her surrounding tidy. I feel she was the least troubled person in that sitcom. The only problem with her was that she din't have a stable relation but after 5-6 season even that goes away. Then comes Chandler who is Ross's college time friend and who cannot distinguish between his mother and father(his father is a cross dresser). His problem is similar to Monica that he never had any stable relation thats why I feel they got together and married each other. The other problem with him was he din't like the work he was doing and wanted to do something he really liked. Then comes Joey, the guy who is never deprived of girls. He is an actor who intially struggles and does some very petty and funny roles but later on becomes a soap opera star. He is most funniest and dumb guy who enjoys eating, relaxing and flirting. Last but never the least, Phoebe Buffet, my favorite character. She is so funny and everytime full of doing and telling silly things.Her song "Smelly cat" explains the kind of stuff she speaks and do. A really lively character. Her problem is that she never had a normal life. Her mother commited suicide, she was brought up in streets, she doesn't have a stable job , never went to college but finally she also finds someone with whom she can lead a normal life.

So thats it for the brief about the sitcom. Well what I really liked about this serial is the way it depicts each and every sphere of life. I mean as the name suggests it is definitly about friends , the bonds that friends share, what they go through when they stay together, the way they share everything, how they are there for each other when they are sad or in problem. But the thing I really liked about this sitcom is the way they celebrated when they were happy. No doubt friends are always there when you are going through rough waters but its the happy moments that we spend with our friends that I feel good about. I mean the way they hug each other , clap with each other when they are happy , thats makes you feel so happy. The way they celebrate festivals, birthdays , marriages, the way they always share their happy moments with each other and gets so restless to tell each other about it that makes me feel this is what one wants in life. Having never lived away from my family, I never experienced those moments you share when you are living with your friends, so this sitcom made me live those moments.

Well I do not associate myself with that serial but yes there are so many moments that people can associate with their life. You can feel those characters, the moment they share , the laughs , the humor, the friendship and the love .
As the song of the serial goes..... I be there for you....summarizes everything that F.R.I.E.N.D.S is all about.
I always ask myself a question, whom out of the three guys would I love to be or I associate the most?

1. Joey - No, I don't think I am either good looking like him or a tube light like him.

2. Ross - I share something common with him :) but I am not guy who will have 3 marriages.

3. Chandler - I don't know what is common within me and chandler apart from the fact that his profession is somewhat closest to mine but he is the guy whom I would love to be like because he is funny, clever and innocent.
Hope that the makers of this hit sitcom will definitly come up with a new season or a movie pretty soon. I don't know whether the movie will be a hit or not but the sitcom is definitly the best thing to have happened ever....

Six years completed...

I wrote this mail to my college batch group on the sixth anniversary of our meeting each other. This was on the day when I was starting a lot of things afresh and with a positive frame of mind. So I just thought I will write a mail to my group about the six years that have passed and how great it felt to meet all of them..

Although this mail din't find much takers but I still felt good as I was happy to do something I really wanted to do...So here is the mail

August 2 , 2002 a bunch of young people joined a college in anticipation of coming to a new world out of school, a place where they will learn stuffs that will be instrumental in determining where they will be standing when they graduate. They were filled with dreams and hopes in their eyes. With the desire to break and make rules and primarily enjoy life.

And in the next four years , we fulfilled some of those dreams.

I don't know what we achieved in these last six years but one thing I am sure about is the relations that we all build.

Although some of us knew each other from before but most of us were strangers to each other.

Initially we all were little hesistant, I am saying this because I don't remember much of our first year apart from the ragging and workshops, which were new experiences.
But I guess we all clicked from second year on wards and once we started we never looked back.

Over the six years we developed some very close relations, some good relations, broke some hearts(just assuming we had), healed some, laughed together, cried together, fought together(did we ?), came together, lost together,partyed together, danced together, enjoyed together, invested time together, argued together, studied together(ya we did this too :) ).

Some have bonded very strongly and have developed bonds stronger then the one created by Fevicol and some are still bonding but overall we came to know the meaning of friends i.e. Forever till I ends.

I think we shared different-different aspects of friendship with each other. We became guides for each other, inspirations for some, motivations for many, we learned from each other's achievements, from each others mistakes. Apart from pen, copy , assignments, food etc we shared ourselves with each other.

Initially I thought I will write lets moan for 2 mins on this day ...lol ..just kidding ..

Lets feel happy for these six years that have gone by.

So guys thats it I guess I need to stop otherwise I will keep on writing..got up at 7 on saturday morning to write this.. lol

If possible lets share some of the moments that we lived in those four years, may be good, may be bad, may be we can share some pictures, some incidents, something we learned, something we forgot...anything.

I would have started myself but seriously I am still searching for an incident worth starting with... although all are worthy of mentioning :) but I just want to think little more over them so that I can come up with some chronological order which I can build up.

So enjoy life ...take care
