Chak De..

Yes! – That’s the SMS I got from Goutam just after that catch!!!
India rocks!! Proud to be an Indian… Chak De India! There’s no stopping now! Congrats – Thats what Monica had to say!
Pak ko sharafat sikha denge, Hindustan ki takat dikha denge. Sun le Pak humse panga mat lena, varna 20-20 me to kya Pak mein bhi tiranga lehra denge… Chak De India! – thats what my dear Anuj Bhaiya(my sweetest cousin) had to say who apparently locked her poor wife in the bathroom for an hour yesterday because as soon as she entered the room, Pak hit 5 sixes (no exaggerations!). Poor bhabhi..How I pity her.. She had to solve Sudoku for an hour in the bathroom, missing all the match! But she also thought it was worth it if that really made India win the match! I was just thinking what she would have done to bhaiya, had India lost 🙂 Anuj bhaiya is the perfect person to watch such a match with.. What awesome spirit he shows.. he could barely speak on the phone as he was shouting his lungs out during the match and then the smoke of the crackers he was burning did the rest!

Wooh.. a world cup after 24 years…It was cricket just as its meant to be played! Though the last over was really scary when the first ball was a wide and a six on a full toss on the second ball! But nonetheless, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar… But one thing that really made me feel bad was that nobody was talking about Gautam Gambhir’s contribution in the match.. He had hit 75 out of those 157 runs for India..Poor chap!

Now I think the India team deserves an apology more than a Cheers for the way they were treated after the ICC World Cup and thereafter, for the way Dhoni’s house was broken down, and similar stuff! But just imagine.. how much difference a movie can make! The Indian team was shown this movie during the tournament, and the team spirit followed. I guess Monika was right.. there’s no looking back now.. Chak De!!!

Just felt like writing.. hence the post!

I am very ‘happy’ for myself.. I have really started relishing my work. Imagine I don’t feel like going home for the India-Pak final today because I have some not-so-urgent work to do in the office! Yes.. thats what I was targeting at, thats how much I wanted to love my work!

Last weekend was pretty good! Saw Dhol on Friday… Nothing to talk about the movie..but I can talk a lot about the PVR Gold Class where we saw the flick. I was a bit apprehensive before spending 920 bucks for 2 tickets.. but now I would say it was completely worth it! With extendible couches, waiter service and all that jazz… But one thing they can still improve on is the timing of taking the orders for food. They can take the orders before the movie starts and during intervals. In between the movie it gets really tough to read the menu card in torch-light.. Anyways, coming back to the weekend.. Saturday was a cleaning spree at my place. Then in the evening, my mum-in-law was coming back from Delhi(and hence the cleaning spree ;)) so went to the airport to pick her up.. came back home and watched the India-Australia battle.. what a wonderful team spirit India showed (for a change!).. Then Sunday was lazy… Just lazed around the whole day 🙂 Saw Indian Idol at night… the result wasn’t really worth waiting for 3 hours! And guess what… no Monday blues today 🙂

And another thing.. I am so glad I could inspire someone to start a blog for himself… My colleague Arun got inspired by my blog (Ahem!) and started with one of his own in the next 10 mins I guess.. I like people with such spirit… they would just do what they want to right then and there!!

‘HAPPY’

I guess God doesn’t like this word being associated with me! The moment I think that everything is perfect and I am ‘happy’ with my life.. He throws a bomb and tells me..Look Idiot, there is so much destruction still left to be done! And this is not the first time this has happened (and I am sure neither the last). Why does this happen with me always?

Fuck Fuck Fuck.. I need to get out of this… I need a break from life!

But I guess thats life and may what happen… Life still goes on…(no breaks permitted!)

Handshake?????

While having lunch, one of my colleagues came up with a very interesting question – Why do we shake hands to greet? How did this thing come up? Why didn’t they think of something else for greeting? Or if it had to be a handshake, why do we shake them vertically only and not horizontally? Or sideways? Or in a circular motion?

Well.. any answers?!

Can anything be more romantic???

तुम्हे कैसे मैं बताऊँ तुम्हे कैसे मैं कहूँ
मेरे बस में अगर हो तो मैं बस इतना ही करूं
तुम्हे दिन भर तुम्हे हर पल देखता ही मैं रहूँ
तुम्हे देखूं तुम्हे चाहूँ तुम्हे पूजूं हर पल
तुम्हे सोचूं तुम्हे समझूँ तुम्हे माँगू हर पल
तुम्हे मैं गुन्गुनाऊँ तुम्हे गाऊँ हर पल
मैं तुम्हारा हूँ ऐसा दीवाना मेरी जान

मेरा मरना भी तुम्ही हो मेरा जीना भी हो तुम
मेरी मदिरा भी तुम्ही हो मेरा पीना भी हो तुम
मेरी चांदी भी तुम्ही हो मेरा सोना भी हो तुम
मेरा हँसना भी तुम्ही हो मेरा रोना भी हो तुम
मेरी सारी सांसों में तुम जैसे हो घुली
मेरी आँखें तुम्हे देखें चाहे बंद हो या खुली
मैं तुम्हारा हूँ ऐसा दीवाना मेरी जान

मेरे दिल में है ये अरमान तुम्हे एक दिन पाऊँ
इस अम्बर से भी आगे तुम्हे लेकर जाऊं
जहाँ राहों में हो बिखरे सब चांद और तारे
जहाँ गीतों के बहते हों मीठे धारे
जहाँ ख्वाबों कि दुनिया कभी सोयी नहीं हो
जहाँ तुम हो जहाँ मैं हूँ और कोई नहीं हो
मैं तुम्हारा हूँ ऐसा दीवाना मेरी जान

This song can make me sing, smile, dance, dream, go crazy.. at any time of any day.. no matter what mood I am in (and no matter however much work is pending!) 🙂

I won’t back down..

Well I wont back down, no I wont back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I wont back down

Gonna stand my ground, wont be turned around
And Ill keep this world from dragging me down
Gonna stand my ground and I wont back down

Hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I wont back down.

Well I know whats right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushing me around
But Ill stand my ground and I wont back down

Hey baby there ain’t no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I wont back down
No, I wont back down

This is what comes to my mind when I am asked to prepare a report with a freaky deadline..

Hehe..

“Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone”

This really made me laugh my heart out… and whoa, the world was laughing with me!!!
Thank Goodness I don’t snore 😉

In an ebullient mood after a sabbatical, so bear with me!
