Kya itna buraaa hun main Maa... :-(

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.

Dad turn sixty

My dad turns sixty today. I feel like asking him Has he achieved what all he wanted to by this time ? Like we nowadays think that after 10 years I should be here or at 30 I should have done this so in the same way he too must had some dreams. I want to ask him all those so if not already  fulfilled, may be I can help him in doing those. 

But may be like they say that a son is more close to his mom then father I also feel that a father n son have that kind of apprehensions in talking with each other. There conversations are mainly short and have subject. 

I still remember when I started going to office three years back I used to come back everyday and tell my mom everything that happened that day , both personal and professional, while standing in kitchen without even taking my shoes off, which I still do. So my dad complained to my sister that I only talk to mom and don't talk with him. I was so surprised to know that. After that I made sure to strike conversation with him after I am back from office. 

But dad is always DAD. He is still the same guy hearing whose jeep's noise I used to leave everything and run for my books. On result days in order to save myself from his scoldings I used to hide in toilets or underneath the bed. 

Ever since I am using a cell phone he calls me on phone when I am late from college or now from office. At those times I find in his voice not that authority of a father but instead its sounds more that of a friendly father. When I am late at night,hanging out with friends, he always used to call asking Are you going to come today? When I was in college this question was more sarcastic but nowadays its more to know if the front door should be kept unlocked. Sometimes he doesn't call, may be thinking that I have grown up now and should be given some freedom but I miss his calls a lot at those times. 

I know he has struggled a lot in his life and he is still struggling. 

One thing I feel bad about him is that he doesn't have any close friend and that scares me a lot. The same with my mom and may be with both of me and my sister. May be Jana's don't have that.  :)


I really want to fulfil all his dreams like Anupam kher says to Sharukh in DDLJ that if you think you are done with enjoying your life then go and enjoy mine. Its just that its the other way around here. I want to tell him that tell me what you want I will do that for you. What all you dreamt as a youngster as a grown up, I will help you fulfil those. Its not that late. 

One thing  I know for sure that he wants to own a luxury car and me and my sister are going to present him one soon. May be we missed the sixtieth birthday deadline but its better late then never. 

May god bless him with the best of health, happiness and everything.

My Mom says....

My Mom very rightly says that "Whatever we do in this life, we get it back in this very life. Whatever we say or do to anyone, whether good or bad, the same thing comes back to us "

I have experienced it both the hard way as well as the better way.

Mom says... I

My Mom always says that

"Whatever we do to someone whether good or bad, the same thing comes back to us in this very Life"

So whenever I feel disappointed with someone's action I feel someway I too may have disappointed someone.

Momma.....

It was Mother's day on Sunday ..

Although dreamt about spending it beautifully, but I did not get to spend it as dreamt but I spent it by being at her side the whole day, listened to all that she had to say, watched cricket match with her, was quite amusing seeing her get all excited watching her favorite KKR play , although she was disappointed to see them lose again. The way she abused McCullum for being such a cold guy and he infuriated her more by getting out after just playing 3 balls managing a paltry six. Seeing her get so frustrated with the way KKR were performing that I could imagine how the other typical Bengali's must be feeling. When KKR lost 3 wickets, she was all pumped up as next in was Shah and since he had performed well last year at IPL, she was quite excited about his prospects this year but that guy has something else in his mind and he played a shot which not only disappointed my Mom but would have disappointed his own too. He was out first ball. Although the next batsman too dint last longer but she had hope since Dada was still there. But he also perished and according to her I was the culprit this time. Actually before the ball he got out, I commented that 44 runs of 44 balls, he is playing really well and she warned that don't say that he will get out and unfortunately he got out the next ball and I have to get that stern look from her which quickly turned into one full of disappointment. And such was her disappointment that she even believed when Ajit Agarkar walked down to the middle and I sarcastically said that "Oh what a great batsman has come now" and she with her innocence asked me "Oh, you think he will get some runs" and I looked back "Are you serious?" but may be God dint want to disappoint her and Ajit Agarkar did play well and ultimately KKR crawled to some total, so it was only McCullum (for everything he did and din't do), Ganguly (for missing his fifty) and Shah (for disappointing her) were the one who were still getting the scolding.

Parallely we were watching a Bengali Movie. She got me out of the other room where I was watching Red Devils beat Manchester City, by shouting that a great Mithun Chakraborty movie is being shown. Just come an watch how good is the movie and the acting. I am also a big fan of Mithun owing to his great down to earth attitude and helpful nature , so I sat with her watching the movie. In the movie , Mithun had a gang of his college students with whom he used to kill all the corrupt people and there were some good police people infact only one who was looking for Mithun and his gang, so she continuously kept telling me that the police is good but the gang is not bad, the all are good people who are doing good deeds. I was just quite amused to see the childish way she was trying to make me understand that point, repeating it every now and then. So finally I said , ya but they have no right to kill anyone no matter how bad those people are, so police is also right.

But then came the moment that I loved the most....The gang of Mithun was caught by the Police and they were getting some severe beating from the cops, so in order to force them to confess Mithun's name the cops brought Mother of one of those guys to the police station. There even after seeing her battered son , she told him "Don't tell them his name"..Hearing this the cop got bewildered and shouted (I have to write this in Bengali) "Apni Janeen apni kake bachachen? Apni oke kono din dekheche o?" (Do you know whom are you saving? Do you have ever seen that guy?). All he meant was that you are saving someone whom you have not even seen or know even though your son is dying. Before that guys Mother could answer my Mother said "Apni kokhono Bhagwan ke dekhe chen?" (Have you ever seen God?) and just then in the movie too that lady repeated the same line and My Mom just jumped from her seat and said to me "I swear I haven't seen this movie before but that was bang on target".....It was so good to see her jump like a kid and I just couldn't stop smiling.

It was a typical Mithun Movie, full of his typical dialogues, back ground music of Tiger...Tiger.. and with some lousy bunch of villains.

Anyways it was great fun to watch the movie and match with her..it always is.

She always tell me whenever I stop her from getting hyper that when people get old they should be let to speak whatever they want ....and I completely agree with her..it definitely helps irrespective of age.

Of all the things she has taught me both directly and indirectly... I feel this one is which I cherish the most nowadays "All people want is someone to talk"..although the original quote is "All people want is someone to listen" but I improvised it learning from my and her experience that you want the other person to say too...so its more of a talk or conversation that we want instead of just a listening ear.

Mumma...

A lovely song from Dasvidaniya (upcoming movie of Vinay Pathak)....Just too good.
