Look at this photograph.Can u see something in the upper left corner of the picture??? It was the diwali night and trust me, no one was there.It was a camera testing.Discovered the abnormal thing much later. The distance to the wall was not more than 10 meters,anything present there could have been seen . No clue found later on.

She fuckin hates me

Two guys , around 26 , drunk but smiling and jumping came out of the pub shouting ( not singing ) the Puddle Of Mudd number at 11 yesterday night. " I tried too hard And she tore my feelings like I had none La la la la She fuckin' hates me " It took me no time to realize that the guys have a lady boss :)

Name of my next film

Two things I really don't like about the names of the films. 1.People shorten the names of the films. If they have to be shortened, why the hell were they given the full names? Kuch kuch hota hain : KKHH Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham : KKKG Kal Ho na Ho : KHNH Can you pronounce those abbreviations? What rubbish is this? Nope..Not acceptable at all !!! 2. Nothing is clear from the name , audience is misled. Kuch kuch hota hain: kya hota hain be? Kabhi alvida na kehna: How impractical!!!Jindegi bhar ek dusre ka thopda dekhte raheen kya??? Jane de bhai... Kal ho na ho: To main kya karoon? But I won’t allow this to happen to my next film.I won’t allow anyone to abbreviate the name.And the name will be self explanatory , it won’t mislead the audience. So I have decided the name of the film. It is: “ After lots of calculation and deep realization now I have come to the conclusion that the Indian matriculation examination is nothing but a botheration for the Indian nation where main occupation...

A movie: “Kasam , The Commitment”

Kasam khao aaj se roti nahi khaooge! Kasam khao aaj se subeh uthke brush karoge !! Kasam khao aaj se regular fit jeans he pehnoge !!! "Kasam,The commitment" is a movie on transformation of a loser,indisciplined guy (Bholu)to a masterpiece by virtue of the innumerous kasams forced on him by his lover. The movie moves with a fast pace to reach the climax. The girlfriend throws another kasam onto him..."Aaj amavasya hain, aaj tum jhooth nahi bologe..tumhe meri kasam..” Matter of coincidence, the same day Bholu gets call for the HR round of interview in a company where he had cleared the technical rounds the previous week. Bholu reaches the office building; camera follows him to the meeting room...focuses on the HR sitting on the other side of the table examining his resume. HR: Welcome Bholu! Please take your seat. Bholu: Thank you maam! HR: btw, I am Sheetal , assistant manager HR in the organization. Can you please start with something that you have not written in y...

Who am I?

My native state Assam is burning. A dozen people were killed day before yesterday .Curfew is not yet relaxed completely.Another bomb blast: 3 killed, 15 Injured. Sachin’s centuries are easier to calculate, not the number of bomb blasts and bandhs in one month in my state. Death of innocents is a staple diet in the front page of the local newspapers. Everybody is blaming the other, public blames administration, administration blames some X association and X blames some Y. You go round and round...reach the same point again. Politics,vote bank , corruption, social divide, insurgency , mainstream....Oh God…how many times the same words , the same stories... Everyone has his own agenda. No body is responsible, only the other!!! None of us is wrong, only the other one is. We are born to show excuses, we can find justifications to whatever we do ...we can dig out causes stronger than some killings...GREAT!!!! The politicians, the police, the public, me-everybody has his own agenda. We are h...

Films, Barcamp ,Algorithms,Guitar and Life:

Am back with some more stuff in my bag :) I always wanted to make a film. The dream came true in the 1.1 workshop of Filmcamp. Conceive the idea , mess up with the team mates, script ,story board, shoot and edit in one day. It was an awakening experience. Now I feel it... I will make films. Short films to speak up my mind. An Indie film maker in the making...haha. If you want to waste some of your valuable time to watch the amateur product , here is the link. Last Man Standing However, I liked Chinmoy’s movie more ( Chinmoy is my cousin, obsessed film watcher and my partner in the film-analysis discussions over coffee).The link to his movie is here. See you there Barcamp 5 was cool. The design Fest was a good learning experience where my design was criticized left and right :( .Nice to see many known faces in Barcamp. Met couple of interesting minds and came across some nice thoughts in the IndieFilm Collective.Exercising my brain to come up with a script good enough to impress a seaso...

I robbed me successfully

Remember reading somewhere the confession of a thief ," it is very difficult to rob a careless person because sometimes he even does not know what he has been robbed." I robbed me and even I did not know of what.

When I pointed out the spelling error to the smartest auto-driver, he prompty replied, “No spelling error boss , my sweet heart is deprecated. Aajkaal asli pyar milta he kahaan hain ?" Pal bhar ke liye koi pyaar kar le,jhootha he sahi ;) [ photo courtesy : Yassar Bhaijaan's mobile ]

A somewhat techno blog

Finally have decided to do something in this line. The blog is more about the latest innovations in Google , Yahoo ( I am a crazy fan of these two guys) , startups and the Open Source Community in the field of web development with my personal opinion of like and dislike. Please drop in if you have some spare time. Of course there is almost no content at this point of time , hope to update it seriously in the coming weeks ;) The url is http://yahoole.wordpress.com/

Raksha Bandhan Special

That fat guy almost fainted. Poor Raghu disappeared from the college for three days to avoid further humiliation. And me ? Don’t ask yaar. It is still a nightmare...I disappeared at the speed of the sound when I could see the Archies product in her hand. Thank God, I had a powerful pair of eyes. Aare....dil todne ka bhi to koi tareeka hona chahiye!!! I strongly condemn this inhuman torture exercised by the fairer sex . A very happy Raksha bandhan to all the AUTHENTIC bhaaiyas and behenas ;)

My childhood, my hometown

Image
Like never before, when I have visited home this time after almost one and half years, the small and otherwise ignored objects have started disturbing me bringing back the old sweet fragrances of the golden childhood. My home, my small beautiful town, my old friends, my teachers ,the lake, the field, the pond, the hill ,the river...most of them have changed as I have...and some of them are lost forever... like my wonderful childhood. This is the place where I have grown up, my sweet home. The garden is empty now because it is summer. But trust me, if you visit me in winter, you will be welcomed by the colors and aromas of dozens of beautiful flowers whose names are only known to my mom and sis. I bet, if you can walk by ignoring, you must be a devil ;) Even in this summer, I could see this beauty eagerly waiting for me to ask about my girlfriends in Bangalore ;) ...how can’t I capture you dear!!! This is the veranda of my home...the place I preferred to my study room. Reading in op...

Income Tax

Had to sign a cheque of extra 11k for income tax due to my inability to understand tax mathematics and my stupid investment plans ( No investment at all in fact ). One additional quality I am looking for in my gal now ...she should know income tax rules well ;)

The song story

Last Monday on Bhabiji’s b’day ,when I visited my "for two years happily married" bhaiiya , I found him listening to a Don William's track sitting on the sofa , stretching his legs onto the table , eyes closed and holding a smile in his lips. "Where is Bhabi ? " – I asked " He He ...the song is the story mere bhai .... This is the third time ...he he "Bhaiya found it pretty amusing. The story goes like this : 5 pm: ( Bhabiji) She packed up her suitcase and walked to the door She said she won't come like she's done before 5.30 pm ( Bhaiiya) I bet she's in Dallas (take it as Whitefield) before it gets dark I know she's thinking she's breaking my heart She knows I love her so she thinks I'll crawl But she never knew me, she never knew me, she never knew me at all 7.30 pm ( Bhaiya to me ) She knows I love her, I know I need her God knows to please her, I've tried and I've tried Yesterday night when I called up bhaiya, he wa...

What to be done with saathe -2

Ask him if he listens to Thrash.If he says no, make him listen to Slayer for full 48 hours in 4800 Watt system.

What to be done with saathe -1

“Intellectual envy, frustrated ambition and the common person’s rage against mediocrity” – this is how the Hindu defines the theme of the play. After watching the play I thought – Need to watch the David Dhavan movie next week;)

Greatest Inventor Ever !

I want to be the greatest inventor ever. I am trying to make an instrument that will read the mind of a lady.

Life so far

After a long sleep of 27 years I got up today morning and realized that I had been searching for shoes to buy in a coffee shop.

No Talk

“Why did you chop your hair?” She asked “Because I had that” I replied. She has not spoken after that. She did not like,either the hair-cut or the reason.

Dalpati

Over the last couple of weeks I have been having my dinner in one of my friend's place who stays not more than 200 yards away from my house. The reasons behind this are: a. He is an amazingly good cook (I call him a perfect husband material) b. Does not emphasize on someone assisting him to prepare the dishes. c. His girlfriend has gone home and the father of the lady is a dictating major…hence no disturbance over phone. And d. This guy has a pair of bean bags which I consider 60 percent better than my bed for the support of the back to operate the remote. So, need not to explain that I have to walk back to my home at around 2 o' clock every night. And that is where the problem lies... I think that he is the DALPATI of the entire FAUJ...and even if I can cross a few of the coward one’s barking...this brave fellow will charge at me at the speed of light...until I demonstrate him a typical Jackie Chan stunt and finally end up looking at each other’s eyes from a distance of two f...

Pattern and Anti-pattern: ways of life

Life follows a pattern, a pattern from the set of a few trialed and tested patterns. We go to school, then to the college, get a degree , grab a job , get married , have kids and.... This was the pattern that I could see around in the lives of my parents, uncles and my cousins growing up with me. Following a pattern makes life simpler and easier whereas anti- patterns are interesting but challenging and sometimes painful. My first introduction to anti-pattern was in the 2nd standard when fascinated by the pattern of the stories from my colorful storybook I started my first essay on “The Cow” as “ Once upon a time there was a cow...”. The big red cross decorated with a large potato on the first page of my essay note book made me realize one very important thing in life - Everything should not start with once upon a time .... “The people who exercise derivatives of anti patterns are interesting”. This was the next impression that I had when I had grown up to around twelve-the guys who oc...

Love at first event

As you guys are aware of , love has been my subject of research since the age of three. But it took me a long time to realize this truth about the subject . This new theory states that "Love at first sight is only a subset of other several forms forms of love at first event" - five of them I have experienced in my life. Type1--> Love at first rumor: I fell in love with all the 3 beauties my friends used to tease me with in my school days.... never noticed any one of them before that....my eyes searched for them every moment for next one month after the rumor reached my ears for the first time that the other party is interested ....unluckily though might be the reality was different :-(( Type2--> Love at first chat: Till today I have felt it thrice that I should have better asked for her contact number....a confectionery vocal over telephone ....who happens to be a customer care executive whom I talked to for the very first and last time....wow...how honeyed a voice can...

How to handle your parents

Many of my friends have a common problem; their parents don’t understand them. The parents don’t try to see a matter from their (my friends’) perspective. They try to use authority and if that does not work...they apply the dangerous weapon of emotional blackmailing. In the process the whole scenario goes from bad to worse. My say is that the entire problem arises due to our ignorance and lack of tact. The solution to this problem is very simple. Expectations arise from previous results. A mother won’t expect her child to bring 95% in the next exams if he failed in the last standard. The same strategy applies. Here are a few examples...after this life becomes smooth and sweet making everybody happy. 1. Find out what kind of a girl your parents dislike most. Now spread a rumor that reaches the ears of your parents that you are deeply in relation with that kind of a girl. After that your parents will be happy with any other girl you marry. 2. Use a friend to let your parents know that yo...

May be God wants me to smoke

For the last several weeks I have been trying really hard to quit smoking. But today I have realized that even God wants me to continue smoking. Reasons: 1. I prayed to God every morning to get me a girlfriend who would ask me to quit. God has not responded. I feel the message is: “Keep on Smoking”. 2. I promised to God that I would quit it from the next week Shahrukh Khan quits. Shahrukh failed. Again the message is: “It’s not the time to quit”. 3. I asked God to make the Prime Minister of India to see a dream that if he did not ban cigarettes in the country, something bad would happen to him. I think God has not done that yet. 4. To avoid the bed till late night is extremely difficult without cigarettes. So I requested God to do something so that The World Cup Cricket gets postponed (As we did that in our semester exams). God did not show interest. So, the message from God is pretty clear. Bhagwaan...at least pehla wala request to sun lo:-) (Apologize to God for such a bad joke…but I...
