Turn Back the Clock

Thats the title of one of my all time favourite songs.....how many of us have wished that...living in the past is something we all do time to time...but some like me gets bogged down by errors made in the past...well its not about making things rite...its that even though technology is taking us ahead, making things easier, it has also made life more stressful! how??well to cite an example u r not safe to go to any trail rooms in shops or rest rooms in hotels without fear of being CIA ie caught in the act!!Another ones the way sports played nowadays...take IPL...is that cricket??i mean after the first week really whos interested in following all these 8 teams playing each other 100 times or more....anybody can bowl and bat and be the star of the day....that wonderful nite still lingers on ur mind..in front of the tv and Mohinder getting the final wicket and taking the stumps to proclaim us as the World Champions....it was the full team which took the credit...then take tv....the wonderful Doordarshan serials...Hum Log, Buniyaad, Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi, Rajani, Udaan...will we get some gems...never...now only Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Vamp Thi...Movies were about stories and not situational comedies...Songs were about lyrics and not words without meaning...so I wish that i could turn back the clock...bring the world of time to a stop....back to the days when love was so much better....and the errors i made...well its juz that i wish i could have kept my friendship with all my friends from school onwards...never was able and now find myself singing this Johnny Hates Jazz number...

The Japanese Wife

The first time u met....the first outing ..holding of hands....looking in the eyes...and the thrill of a joyride...the countless phone calls....and u juz cant wait for the D-DAY!!so how can anyone wait 15years...that too to meet ur wife for the first ime???oh yeah.......am talking abt "The Japanese Wife", Aparna Sen's latest movie starring Rahul Bose.......based on a short story by Kunal Bose, its the tale of a Bengali man who exchange wedding vows with his Japanese penpal and they continue to exchange letters for 15yrs!!!Enter the scene a young widow and her child and the rest is about the change in the hero after he gets first glimpse of family life...so can 2 people, who have never met, remain apart for such a long time and still be in love??that too in this age of webcams and MMS??only if they are in PANDORA!!!i mean u wud catch the first flight, rite??now u know why the wife's Japanese!!she aint easy catch!!so how they sustained their love??what did they exchange in their letters??well my guess is abt world war-II and atom bombs....dream on.........

"Kama" yogi

Thought have seen the last of them....but guess thats juz wishful thinking!!Another guru caught in bed with a tollywood starlet(acted in mallu superhits too) is the latest 24X7 channel news! Even though still to be confirmed if the guru is the real one or juz a reel one, the broadcast of it on all major channels really tells u that what sells best is the er...three letter word!!I mean do they show this so that people are more cautious...bull......they juz want more TRP!!Well cant blame them. So wat u think ??wat punishment to be given to the said karmic??Well one of our minsters told a certain punishment..but er...cant find words to translate...BuT its more prudent to punish all those folks who worship such people...when are they gonna learn???IS it some kinda fantasy they cherish to be with such people??why they are willing to prostrate b4 such "mahapurushs"??is it cos they are able to provide divine interventions??well looks like the only lessons they can provide is from KamaSutra!!

The Customer is King !

How many times do u walk into ur local bakery in a week ? it's almost daily in my case as i 've a 6 yr old kid. But am also very much tempted by these cakes and stuff. Know many must b 'ving lota advise for me " Beware, if u eat too much ..u 'll get fat and ugly". Well thts not the topic for 2day. then wat ? Ok first tell me how you guys wud react if u get ripped off in a shop ? mosta of you may not go bak to tht shop again and even might tell everyone not to buy stuff frm there , rite ? Now here is my story....I am a regular customer of this particular Bakery. Numerous times i found checking the labels(of course @ home )tht they 've over charged me . yea...they robbed me everytime I did shopping there. do you think I have said anything? yes u r rite, being an aggressive one i just could not ignore. It is common for shopkeepers to double the prices of products out of sheer greed or general wishful thinking. The best way to deal with this sort of situation is to be equally unreasonable. Grabbing courage from colleagues and friends i visited the shop again just to bring him back to reality. At the expense of my vocal cords i started questioning the shopkeeper tht too when the shop was really crowded. I know its a bad way to go about things, but he demanded the situation. And even before i started conversing the shopkeeper was getting ready to pay me the excess money which he took from me on several visits, which makes things pretty clear. Finally i stepped out in high spirits (i hate being cheated !!!! ), ofcourse wid my wallet filled and didn't forget to warn him tht i will b bak again often to check if hez any better at maths ;-).Primary strategy of any business shud be never dare to make the customer unhappy.

On tht note ....."happy shopping " and don't hesitate to leave a comment .....thanks to all for pouring in comments for the previous post . Good Job Sang ...luv u !

Power Play :-)

This post is a dedication to all Badminton lovers. I happened to play the game this evening aftr so many years. Once u start playing the game, you get addicted ! It is always a good exercise. I started playing the game when I was strong enough to swing the rackets ie during my high school days. we had a good team around and we used to take turns and play singles as well as doubles accordingly, though the game we play is not the real one.

Have heard some refer to the sport as a pointless chase of cork and feather. But it is a gr8 sport that requires gr8 endurance, vigorus cardio motion, fast pace, strategic play, power, finesse, and technique. On top of that, i got a gr8 neighbour who shares the same interest with me. How can u not love it ? It is really a fun sport !!!!
