Since you can’t get out of it. Stop Swimming !! It may sound unpleasant but its better than the worst you are facing.

A Race in which there is no winner

Note: it’s just the thought that ran through my mind. I personally don’t advice anyone to follow the post.

1. If there was only day we could not see our “Dear school friends”, whom we had lots of fun with, it was this cruel Sunday

2. I still remember all the Disney Hour, Small Wonder(my all time favorite) series and Three stooges used to come on weekdays, but on Sundays – Epic long Mahabharatha, Ramanand sagar’s  new mythological series after series were a true disastrous to any kid’s intellectual.

3.Although i am a guy who never likes to go on a picnic but for every Sunday ,i used to expect from my parents to have some surprises for us. Okay you can include picnic in that. But to my dismay every other time it happened that my father had always have to go to his workplace.

4. Now when i went to college we used to have Saturdays as holidays. But this didn’t change anything. After a Beer Bash party on Saturday night, it always used to take us 3 or 4 o’clock on Sundays afternoon just to wake up and figure out if we still remember the place and the surrounding  we’ve been living in till last night. it takes almost fours-five hours to recover and to get to know that we have loads of assignment and deliverable for the Fucking Monday’s morning classes.

5. Now when i was gaining some life experience(Please always remember : Berojgaar ko work exp. ho na ho…. life experience jaroor hota hai ) after my college, it didn’t matter for people like us whether its Sunday or Monday, because we always have nothing to do. Thanks to God !! that you added some more Sundays like boring Days to our already pathetic life.

6. Now Being in a premier B-school ( I assume they consider it as the ones ABC ) They don’t F’ing care about Sundays!!!. How could you do that?? Have I waited almost for whole of my life just to see this more Worsened pathetic condition of Sundays? If  by any ways we get holiday on Monday they will shift its classes for the spare Sunday. Holy cow !! Guys we need to bring in Labour Laws here too. Moreover we are not even being paid. This is cruelty to innocent students like us .

Anna where are you ..We also need your help!!!!

I am  quite happy with the changed notion now but quite disturbed over the fact that i am helpless

Once there was a monk who was a philosopher manque who instead of on with his Yoga, constantly pestered the Buddha about the metaphysical questions : Was there a god? Had the world been created in time or had it always existed?

To which he got the answer like this :

The Buddha told him that he was like a man who had been shot with a poisoned arrow and refused medical treatment until he had discovered the name of his assailant and what village he came from. He would die before he got this perfectly useless information. What difference would it make to discover that a  god had created the world. These issues are fascinating but at the same time they are irrelevant.

But quite more beloved to god.He couldn’t see  the innocent playing with his mother. The greedy god wasn’t happy watching them everyday. So God really played jealously this time and the cruel sent the ferocious and deadly  Tsunami and  abducted  him for ever.

The innocent darling was lost. Tears didn’t stop a moment. Not only in his mother’s heart but even in ours the pain could be seen.For his mother the hope for being happy was lost. For her, anymore expectation from life  was lost.Everything was lost.

God should better know a mother love

God might be quite happy now.

P.S: In remembrance of all those who lost their lives in Tsunami on 26 Dec,2004

Rest in peace

It was my cousin shikha who was throwing party for her new job. Congrats again dear!. So without waiting much, we headed straightforward to Chachaji’s  food court. As there were hell lot of varieties of dishes (some of them, i think,  i haven’t heard the name of), so we asked our younger cutie shilpi and her friend Nuzhat(if i m not wrong) to choose from the long list of spicy junk. After all they were the regular customer of chachaji’s.

We started off with a bulky and too much spicy pizza whose name i forgot.but by the time i finished my first piece , i found that everyone was wiping their mouth with the tissue paper. I still think they had 2 pieces each .  I didn’t know everyone was hungry too .  My bad luck!!Next was the turn of tangier Bhalla papdi and Bhelpuri. secret: Bhelpuri is my all time favourite. But this time i enjoyed bhalla papdi too , so thickly filled with Dahi and green chatni .. it just slurp your mouth full of pleasant taste.

Tangy Mouth watering Bhel puri

Then we ate veg. chowmein, ,veg kabab, mushroom masala, drank coke. It’s not like that i haven’t eaten any of these things earlier,but being with the dearest ones made them tastier even more.Believe me,none of the things gave me so pleasure but a spoon cat fight over chowmein between them is what made my day. I was really so happy watching them.came up with non visible tears too[:)]

In the end, farmaish aayi ki kuch meetha toh banta hai … so we(although not really we ) decided to have Chocolate kulfi.No need to describe that.So we came to an end of the most delicious lunch i  ever had. I dropped my cousins. But………………

That was not the end of the day …..

I asked my friend abhinandan ( kalia)  to join us ( me and Arun ) at the Famous Karim’s in chandni chowk.I actually planned this a day or two before but couldn’t make it happened that day. And how i got that plan? Thanks to NDTV Good times’  Highway on my plate. We all met at Chawri bajaar metro station.And let me tell u.. this was the first time ever in my life that i forgot the way  to Karim’s which i knew.

The Karim's

Nevertheless ,we somehow reached there. On the Gali Kababiyan, we noticed there was not a pixel to put our foot on.People were moving in lines just to avoid the chaos.At least 10 persons per sq.m On that 4 0r 5 m broad road rickshaw pullers, scooters and rediwaalas,people holding there goats  were also managing to  move an inch every time they get chance.  All in one place !. We could not even see the signboard of Karim’s although it is 4th  shop from the start of gali  At the entrance i immediately knew that we might need to wait for half an hour or so. Karim was Over House-full ! ! Finally after 40 mins or something our turn came to at least sit on the table. While we were standing in the row, we noticed that there on the menu list was an item whose rate was more than  that what my father had given to me while i was boarding the train for Delhi.Only Rs. 4800/- Tandoori bakra. Order before 24 hrs.

We decided to order  Mutton Stew…..Chicken Jahangiri…..seekh kabab along with coke.Stupendous curry with a different taste altogether. and some veggies for Arun sharma( a surname totally uncommon at such places)

chicken jahangiri

And at last after that delicious dinner we headed for the famous paan at Prince paan center in daryaganj . We asked several shop owners where exactly is this prince paan waala . None of them even knew the name. We even asked a sardar whose  shop was actually in front of theirs( we found that later), even he denied their existence in there. But sachche raahgiro ko apni manjil khud-ba-khud mil hi jaati hai. And there was this “Prince Paan Center”

And let me tell u , these people have invented so many new different varieties of paan one couldn’t think of with a amazing  tag line for each of them

Zero tension paan – jeevan ki tension bhagaye

paan sona chandi kesar -jaisa naam waisa kaam

chuski paan – barf se jyaaada thanda

smile pan – muskurate raho

Prince paan waala

we tried zero tension paan …awesome in taste ….and asked them to pack pineapple chocolate and butterscotch.we could not get out of the hang of the tasty and delicious delight of the day . I know it has been a start . Delhi has some more for me in the lot. To be continued …….

We, as a human, are not someone different ,but a sub part of the mighty nature ,have to accept the fact that we are not mightier than anything else. It’s always when i am high this thing always pin point me. I feel i know nothing, if i don’t know my reason to be here.But suppose if i explore it some day how …………then wouldn’t I be a God? ….and that’s what god left for himself (if he exist).

1.There are in Zen no sacred books of dogmatic tenets. If I am asked, therefore, what Zen teaches, I would answer Zen teaches nothing. Whatever teachings there are in Zen, they come out of one’s mind. We teach ourselves; Zen merely points the way.   – D.T. Suzuki

2.In a certain sense, Zen is feeling life instead of feeling something about life.  Alan Watts

3.Give up yourself to others. Give up yourself to life. Give up struggling to make sense of it all. Simply, give up. – T’ao-shan

4.Believe those who are seeking truth. Doubt those who find it. – André Gide

5.All religions pass, but this will remain: simply sitting in a chair and looking in the distance. – V.V. Razanov

6.Our eyes were originally right, but went wrong because of teachers. – Zen Proverb

Zen Meditation

7.“Enlightenment” and “Nirvana”? They are dead trees to fasten a donkey to. The scriptures? They are bits of paper to wipe mud from your face. The four merits and ten steps? They are ghosts in their graves. What can these things have to do with you becoming free? Te-shan

8.It is only when we realize that life is taking us nowhere that it begins to have meaning.- – P.D. Ouspensky

9.You can destroy your now by worrying about tomorrow. – Janis Joplin

These and more of these is what i think a person in this entangling life needs to know but not by learning it from someone, nor by reading it from somewhere and not even  by going in SATSANGS.

But I m sure before u start going on your own self-knowing, u would like to know about the Zen ….So go beta………….. Gooooooogle it !!

PSLV being Launched

and on the other hand…..

Germans who are still considered to be the best in their research and technology are believing in astonishment towards an eight legged octopus who must have never ever imagined how a football looks like. I mean what has happened to Germans. Are they the same who once were going to defeat the whole world with their most advanced war machines and  fighter planes.

How could they do something like we Indian liked to do for several ages which resulted in nothing but quite a huge plethora of ignorant and illiterate citizens. And not only Germans… it seems whole world is following octopus Paul.  Com’on yaar it’s bull shit.And stupid  Indian news channels will continue to show rubbish talks and discussion on Paul . Thanks to INDIA TV who produced Indian answer to Paul. Parakeet  the parrot predicted Netherlands as the winner against Paul’s  Spain.

Octopus Paul Deciding fate....

Its really disgusting to see humans looking at animals to know their fortune.At least for human”s sake we must understand that doing such thing is an act of showing or  letting in a feeling of disbelief in ourselves. And for sure ,if the human race has to develop or  to find a solution to their emerging global problems, these notions of oracle-ism and fortune telling has to be stopped. I am happy on the side that there are increasing number of literates  in India although slowly but continuously who are shedding away their petty thoughts on such beliefs  and leading their life with logical and reasonable thoughts.

The place  known as Pahadajhar is  near to rawatbhata..jahan yogi baba(me) bhi prakat hote hai kabhi kabhi .Along with the mahadev mandir  pahadajhar has one of the best waterfall, i think , in rajasthan.May be the next best two are also in rawatbhata ..[:)].The waterfall is formed due to the rain water coming from all direction and forming a narrow stream before falling from a huge height of around 60 m.

The thing i wanted to tell you here was that earlier i used to be an atheist ..and still i am ….but  i m ready to loose that idea after experiencing the power within  which was  given to me by bhole just by reciting his name only to face those in-numerous bats ….so ugly in face all looking at me hanging upside down. I could fearlessly walk that cave without any hesitation.

lagta hai bhole ka bulaawa aaya tha us din ….

JAI BHOLE !!!!!!!!!

Getting drunk according to me is someother way of living the same old boring life which is otherwise  inhabited by some degree of fear in almost every walk of our life. Hanging high lets you forget that particular fear out of your free mind. Which means you can do any act ….freely….. bringing out of you a new lion.You can ask your favourite girl…doesn’t matter you have always got a negative in there , cause you are so shy !!!!  You can take stand and speak on any topic which you only think you know the spelling of  despite having several dumbstrucks in group discussions.

And let me tell you if you think you are really a bad dancer and everyone will laugh at you when you come to the dance floor, That feeling can be made to lost if you want it …how’s that ….the same answer.

one of the most positive side of it is that it allows you to think freely, logically and reasonably which could otherwise  is not possible because of society fear,community thinking and complex  thinking of today’s highly advanced generation

Getting drunk gives you a very good opportunity to try yourself out, to measure yourself. It lets you see your inside. What you really are and what you really can .

Note:I personally don’t recommend you to start drinking but i advise you to try this at least once . May be you get a better ingsight  to your life.
