My last entry was about how women are dumb and irritating and weird and etc etc etc and even though I was not serious about all that and it was suppose to be taken in good spirit, but alas people took offense and I had to hear all kinds of things so ladies am really really sorry if I have hurt anyone's feelings but trust me as I said it was just for fun and had no other intention. My apologies to all women who find it offending and insulting.
This post is no attempt to please people who are pissed with my earlier post. Its just what I have felt about Mother for years.
Today was Mother's day and of course I did remember it. I called up my mom early morning and she was shocked that I woke up so early to wish her but the reality was that I had work for which I woke up and in process wished her also. I never miss wishing her on Mother's Day, but doing it so early in the morning was shocking for her.
Anyways how much ever I make fun of women or I keep saying that they are dumb they are this they are that blah blah blah I have always respected one role that a women plays best and that is of a Mother. It has always been a belief that on this planet there is just one relationship and that is of mother and child which is selfless, and rest all have some or the other motive to them. You can argue,counter argue have a zillion arguments about how other relations can also be selfless but the truth is that the purity and selflessness that a mother child relationship has can not be matched.
I have never been very close to my mom, I mean I have always been very fond of my dad and he the person I have always looked up to. But all said and done there are certain things about my life which are shaped only by my Mom and I guess without her I can not imagine myself doing them.
I am a little short on time right now as I have to rush back home, I will complete this post soon. Love you Mom, sand you are the best there ever was, the best there is and the best there ever will be.
I salute all Mother's and all would be Mother's. You make this world a very special and lovely place and without you this earth would be very very bland. You are the reason we cry, we laugh, we love, we care, we fight and most importantly we survive.
Its not just my mother am thankful to, am thankful to every women because they have a Mother in them. Hats off to you ladies
See ya soon....

WOMEN and WOMEN
Ya I know my next entry was supposed to be on religion but I still have to read a lot on it so that will take some time. So meanwhile thought will write about something oops I mean someone I love.
This entry is not meant to offend anyone and is just a result of personal experiences and would request this to be taken in good spirit.
Since the time I was a kid I have always loved women, I don’t remember when I had my first crush because there have been way too many to remember. I have always had a love and hate relationship with women and that’s the way I like it. All possible experiences with women and I think I still can’t figure them out, and I guess that’s the beauty. So when I love women so much and I respect them so much why haven I written anything on them???? May be was trying to figure them out and then write about them and after so many years I realize that If I wait for that day to come then I would never be able to write anything on them.
I have always believed that woman was created over a weekend, when god had loads of time at his hand and had nothing much to do. No wonder women become so interesting over weekends and are so irritating on weekdays, weekends are like their birthdays. That’s the only time of the week when men cannot imagine being without them, its weekends when me and my roommate also miss women a lot because rest of the days we have so much to do and we cant waste our time on answering questions like if we have had lunch and if we are going to be free for dinner.
So my dear god started the creation on Friday night and guess he was tipsy and stoned because as they say creativity has got something to be with being high and drugged, so out of that creativity he created an impeccable thing which was perfect by all standards (Assuming that Eve looked like Penelope D Cruz). By the time god finished creating the body it was Monday morning and you know how everyone is in a hurry to resume office on Monday’s so even he was in a hurry and it was in this confusion that he missed out on one thing that is BRAINS. And rest as they say is history. Since then women have lived without that one thing which I guess they are so proud of. But when god realized what he has forgotten he went crazy and started thinking about ways to undo it. The structure was made and he could not do anything about it, so he thought, thought and thought and then finally came up with a solution that if he can’t give them brains he can give them something close to that and that’s why he gave them ILLUSION. Since then they have lived with this misconception that they are intelligent and men are dumb.
This was about origin, since then women have developed a lot. They have developed a lot of other attributes to hide the lack of brains and one of them is enhancing their beauty and that's when blonds and bongs came into existence, who looked beautiful but only till they open their mouth and talk.
Anyways there are a few things about women that I would love to list here
1)Stubbornness:When you know that you are not very intelligent and you can’t fight just be stubborn and just refuse to budge. All kinds of women use it and at all possible levels and the best examples can be seen in your office if your boss is a female.
2)Emotions: I am always winning an argument and then suddenly she starts crying and I lose it. It’s the weapon which has been tried, tested and then mastered by women. Why do you think you always end up saying sorry for no fault of yours?
3)Panic: This is one thing which is found in men too but women take it to a new level all together. Get panicked and screw every possibility to set things right. This is again a commonly felt emotion among men who have female bosses. How much we wish to have a male boss who could be calm and composed and would find a solution and not add to the problem.
4)Shopping: Shopping with woman is the worst and the most dreaded act that a man has to do. It is much more painful experience than getting stitches (I personally hate stitches). They would take so much time just to select one small thing which they don’t even need. Someone should tell them that we do not live for 140 years like a tortoise and we men have more things to do than just waste our time in malls and shops.
5)We know it all Syndrome: This is a very risky and a weird syndrome which all women have. They better find a cure for it as soon as possible because more people are killed (figuratively) by this than by AIDS.
6)All men are dogs philosophy: They know the reason why all men are dogs but will still keep cribbing about it. This is simply because all they have around them are bitches, get some women around them they will behave like men (A Guarantee).
7)Lack of practical approach: They have never understood that what is written in the books is not always the possibility. They live with an idea that all you need in any relationship is love but they do not understand that there are other things also that one needs for any relationship to function, but no they wont understand it because it was only because of love that Rahul got Simran, in DDLJ so all that you need is love and nothing else. God save them.
8)We are equal to men still we need reservation: We can do anything that men can do and we are better in everything but we need a separate queue everywhere, we need concessions and reservations in all possible places, man should get up when they see a woman standing in a bus or a train because this is what they call Chivalry, well I would call it hypocrisy.
9)PMS: I know who ever will read this entry will say am disgusting because am writing about this point but no offenses meant and I can totally understand the pain but this cannot be an excuse for everything and certainly not anytime of the month. So please come up with better ones because you can not go through PMS for 30 days of the month.
10) Honesty: This is the biggest dilemma faced by men. All women want their men to be honest but most of them can not handle honest facts. Your GF asks you where were you and she expects you to be honest but u dare tell her that you were out for a coffee with a girl. Your GF asks you how is she fat and you dare say yes.
They are just some and trust me there are many more to come....

3 reasons
Its a Sunday and I want to write something nice but no ideas coming. Guess I am too lazy or too preoccupied with many other things to write, so will just give a little teaser to you of whats gonna come as my entries in next few days. I hope I do a good job with this because I have been wanting to write about all this for a long long time but never really got in mood. Now that things look a little settled I will finish this task. So here is what I feel about life in general.
TRAILOR
I have lived at so many places, met so many people, listened to so many arguments, fought with so many experts and then at the end of all this came up with one conclusion.
All the problems in the world are due to 3 reasons
1) Religion
2) Alcohol
3) Expectations
I am reading on religion right now and will want to read about other two factors in detail and write about them. The entry on religion will be done soon.
Chao for now

I have been going to my new office for 3 days now and it has been a mixed feeling. Its sad that am again working for a small agency which I didn't want to but hey there is a good news too and that is me working on a young brand which is a big International name. Its been an eventful 3 days, I have realized that there is a lot of work and its not gonna be a cake walk but guess it will give me the necessary exposure and mileage for my future.
People are nice and helpful. The lady who is giving me the handover is sweet and very supportive although she is suffering with a "Sweety" syndrome but that's ok I guess (Will have a detailed entry on her later). My colleague who will work with me on this account is a nice guy but he always seems to be scared of something, I hope I make him feel comfortable. Haven interacted with others too much but they come across as nice people.
I hope I work out fine here and things gone well
AMEN

A Trip to Kihim beach - Part 1
It was a very lazy Saturday afternoon and I was sleeping (That’s what I have been doing off late) and then the phone rings and it read Nupur calling. I wanted to curse her for disturbing me but then I thought lets not curse her and instead I just kept the phone on silent and went off to sleep again.
It was a crazy dream which woke me up (Sorry cannot discuss the dream here). But then after a good hot cup of tea I thought should call Nupur else she will kill me. After a regular wassup and watcha upto things she asked if I would be interested in going to Alibaugh, I do not remember saying no to any travel plan ever made so instant answer was yes. She said she will call back after a while when she gets all the details.
As soon as I kept the phone I realized that neither do I have a job nor any money, am as broke as it can get. How will I go was a big question but then came the answer … WHO CARES… we will see…. After a while Nupur called and said that we are suppose to leave early morning on Sunday and get back by late Sunday night. I told her we can go to Kashid rather then Alibaugh and she said lets see tomorrow.
I finished my dinner which was a grand affair like everyday and then was chatting with my brother till like 2 in the morning. Then I came back to my room and realized that if I sleep now then by no means will I be able to get up by 4:30 so I decided to watch a movie. Chhaya had gifted me 2 DVDs of French films so I decided to watch one of them named Soft Skin. It was a nice film. A simple story with a good positive treatment, anyways this is not the place to talk about the film. The movie got over by around 4:45 and I called up Jassi who was suppose to wake me up at 4:30 but the lazy ass that she is kept sleeping. She picked up the call and said that she will get ready in half an hour which I didn’t think was possible. I messaged Nupur asking was she awake and she didn’t reply. I again called Jassi and told her that Nupur has not replied and she is also sleeping so we will miss the train so lets not go (For a moment I had thought of cancelling the plan) but she instantly got active and said Nupur was ready and will reach station on time and so will Varun.
I got ready and woke up my brother who was suppose to drop me to station. He did not talk to me on the way which is very unlikely but the fact was that he was super sleepy. Anyways we picked up Jassi and reached station on time, took tickets nad took our seats in the train. We were realy lucky to get seats as it was early morning and there was no rush. 5 minutes before the train was suppose to leave Varun and Nupur also came and off we went.
It was a pleasant train journey. Train journeys have fascinated me since I was a child. Trains have something in them which attracts me and to add to this I think nothing beats Indian countryside and the Pune-Mumbai rail route which has Lonavala, Khandal and Karjat on its way gives some of the best and exotic views of Indian countryside and real beautiful views of Sahyadris. I love traveling on this route, it does not matter how many times I travel on this route and who am with, I never get bored of it. We chatted, laughed pulled each other’s leg, Jassi as usual kept cribbing and slapping and we decided that we will never take Jassi if we go somewhere backpacking and Nupur was the first one to agree to this and suddenly before we could realize we were at VT.
Now about VT or CST I must say that this is the most beautiful railway station in the country and the feel of VT just makes me crazy. Mumbai surely has something in it. The first thing that came out of Varun’s mouth as soon as we got down was “B*******D Mumbai mein feel aati hai” and Jassi was quick to react to his abusing but who cared we were in Mumbai.
On our way we had decided that we would go to Kihim. I had never heard of this place but that’s what I like going to an unknown place, I have always loved unplanned trips to unknown places. So we took a taxi and then reached Gateway of India. This is another place in Mumbai which I love; it for some weird reason makes me feel so proud about being an Indian. I saw Gateway of India and then I saw Taj Mahal Hotel and had a sudden urge to kill. I wanted to kill everyone who was involved in Mumbai attacks of last year. How could anyone try and destroy such a beautiful building was beyond my comprehensions and once again my belief that religion is the cause of half the trouble across the world became stronger.
Anyways the feeling to kill subsided as soon as we were on ferry and there came another feeling to my head and that was how we all are human beings yet so inhuman in our ways of living the sea around Gateway was so dirty that it made me feel very uncomfortable. It’s so funny how people cannot understand that all this dirt is gonna haunt them very soon. I felt pity for our coming generations who will never see a green and beautiful earth. I think we need to grow up and stop talking about go green, its time to work and not talk. But then this feeling also subsided when the ferry started to move. I could see Taj Mahal Hotel and Gateway drifting away from me. I felt a sudden feeling of stopping the ship and saying I don’t wanna go, for that moment I thought how much ever I want to shift to Europe or US but my heart will always be in India, I do not think I am ready to go away from India as rightly said by Devi Juhi Chawala, “Teda hai par Mera Hai”. I just wanted to keep seeing these immortal monuments of Indian history and never go away but as fickle minded as I am this feeling also did not last long and I started enjoying my ferry ride….

Review - 3 Idiots
It’s ironical how a movie with a name 3 Idiots can give such an intelligent message. A complete Indian Bollywood film with all the masala one would need, but as expected from a Raj Kumar Hirani film it has a message.
I have been a Raju Hirani fan since Munna Bhai MBBS but I guess it’s the 3rd Idiot which takes the cake. As far as direction goes I do not think he would have had any difficulties with actors like Aamir Khan, R Madhavan, Shrman Joshi, Boman Irani etc. all of them are amazing actors and have proved it in past. I deliberately do not name Kareena Kapoor here because the role she did could have been pulled out by any other actress, so it is not really a big deal.
The camera work is amazing and so is the music. The songs are beautifully crafted and are at suitable places. The song Behti Hawa Saa Tha Wo and Give me some Sunshine are beautiful and reflect the thinking of today’s youth. The background score supports the story at every point and makes every shot look meaningful. The best part about the songs is that unlike most of the Bollywood films the songs are not unnecessary and forced. The story does move ahead with these songs, so they are a necessary part of the movie.
As far as acting is concerned I think it is by far Aamir Khan’s best performance (barring Andaz Apna Apna). It was a real task for him to look like a 20 year old. It’s not just the makeup and clothes and his accessories that make him look younger but his attitude, the way he carries himself the way he talks and questions makes him look like a college student. I just loved the way he looked lost and yet focused and ya the names used are hilarious. That’s what you call “out of the box ideas”.
Madhavan, Sharman and Boman have done a good job and have done justice to their roles. Kareena was good in what she does the best “Over Acting”.
The movie slips a little in the whole Mona Singh episode, which could have been better done. The whole examination paper scene is a copy from an advertisement but its crafted well so we can let go off the plagiarism.
Another good thing about the movie is the way movie moves forward, the way present and flashback is used is really good and does not confuse the viewer. A good screenplay (barring the Mona Singh episode) does a fair justice to the book.
All in all a good family film which will surely not make any affect on any parent, so do not take ur parents with an impression that they will come back and tell you to go become a photographer, that simply does not happen but ya its PAISA VASOOL…..

Titos and the lost wallet
Finally….
I am finishing this Goa trip today. I know everyone has lost interest in it but I believe that everything that’s started should be ended sooner or later.
So we did reach Titos, it was around 09:00 and the disc was empty. There were a few very elite looking families having dinner with sheer elegance and following all possible table manners which King Arthur would have laid down when he established Britain as an independent country. There kids wanted to run around and play and create havoc but were given a look of a lifetime by these so called high society people. I feel sorry for these kids whose lives have been surrounded by manners. Am happy that I was not born in such rich and as Chhaya says “Fu Fu” families.
We kinda got bored there so we thought would go back to our room take a shower and then come back. So we took our Activa and reached hotel. As usual I told Sudeep to go first and get ready, I have this habit of getting ready in the end because I can not wait after getting ready and Sudeep as usual did as I said. I lied on the bed, was a little tired. I was thinking about a lot of things some of which cant even mention here and in between all this I suddenly thought should check how much money I have in my wallet. And as soon as I put my hand in my back pocket my eyes popped out and my hands went numb. My wallet was not there, I searched every where possible in the room then went back and checked downstairs from where I had come but I hate this word “BUT”. Sudeep came out and we were off to Anjuna to if ya if see we could get it back, I know it was stupid but then hope is what has always done it for me so thought will give it a shot. We did try our level best but all in vain. Meanwhile I blocked all my cards and was thinking what will I do without my credit card? It was like the end of the vacation and that too a very sad one. Called up my bro and told him and to my astonishment he was as cool as a cucumber (I have taken that simile from Sidhu’s book). We headed to Anjuna police station and launched a complained and by the time we were back in hotel it was 11:30 and I was completely exhausted and in no mood to do anything but then Sudeep did tell me what I keep telling people; that life is too short to crib about such petty things so lets not waste it and even my brother told me the same, so I thought wats gone is gone lets forget it and just have fun. I got up shaved and took a shower wore some nice perfume and we were all ready for Titos. We reached there by around 12:30 and now people had started pouring in. The best thing was that no one bothered about the other everyone was too busy enjoying the music and dancing and not to forget alcohol.
It is here that I realized how important it is to have a girl with you when u go partying. But then it was a fun of its own kind.
We danced danced and danced till it was almost 5. The best thing about the disc was the bouncers. I have never seen such alert and strict bouncers. They would have thrown out a minimum of 15 people in front of me for not behaving properly. Everyone specially the girls did feel secure dancing.
We were back in our room by around 5:30. Slept for a while and it is shocking but ya we were up and ready by 8:00 to leave for Aguada fort and old Goa. We reached Aguada by 9:30 after a little breakfast. Trust me it is anything but a fort. There is nothing to see, am sorry if u guys think I have no sense of beauty. It is the worst fort I had ever seen. After living in Rajasthan I expected a fort of that stature but alas there was nothing but stupid walls, but any ways we found out that this fort was made for resting and refilling the Portuguese ships in olden times.
We left the fort in like 20 minutes and we drove towards Old Goa. We did see some beautiful churches but the best thing was seeing the real Goa, the way people live, the way they walk, they way they laugh, it was like am back in Portuguese times. Life is so relaxed and cool here. It’s like just eat drink and be merry. After roaming here and there in Old Goa and seeing all possible churches we left for South Goa. We wanted some peace and we knew that south Goa is comparatively less crowded…..
Next entry would be on South Goa and Sacha!!!!
I am finishing this Goa trip today. I know everyone has lost interest in it but I believe that everything that’s started should be ended sooner or later.
So we did reach Titos, it was around 09:00 and the disc was empty. There were a few very elite looking families having dinner with sheer elegance and following all possible table manners which King Arthur would have laid down when he established Britain as an independent country. There kids wanted to run around and play and create havoc but were given a look of a lifetime by these so called high society people. I feel sorry for these kids whose lives have been surrounded by manners. Am happy that I was not born in such rich and as Chhaya says “Fu Fu” families.
