Dichotomy


No, this is not the dichotomy i want to write abt.But It sure is one of the cutest pics i've seen, after the mouse on the frog one which i had sometime back in a post. I havn't seen monkeys and dogs go around so well before, but these two have certainly beaten the odds .. !!

Diwali "the" festival of india is right around the corner really. You don't feel anything like it anytime of the year like you do in Diwali. Honestly i mean!! Things get paced up, huge crowd everywhere , shopping whatever they can their hands on to and people drive like crazy this time around. 
I still havnt got that exact feel, but i'll wait for it to get on me in a day or two, when i have to go to officers for giving diwali " wishes ".
But actually, Diwali has taken a back seat, it isn't the most talked about and read about thing this month, n especially this week. The Bulls just got held by their horns really this week with market came thrashing down, n today was historical day as Sensex fell 1070 pt. stripping it to 8701. Not thats something nobody cud have imagined in their wildest of dreams when sensex was shooting up as if there was no tomm back in Jan. It came from 22000 to 8k's something in 10 months. Damn.. I remember my friends CD n ajgar were on the edge of their seats as soon as the 10 am clock strike. N funny ( ya it is actually ) it is that, now they just don't want to talk about the whole trading thing. Cd doesn't even remember his password of his icicidirect.com . Thats a kind of set back the punitive investors had, so we can't even begin to realize what the big game players are going thru. Even in my house, tensions fill up after 10 in the morning which has become quite inevitable no matter how hard my parents try not to switch to CNBC.   
Thats something which has really ruined diwali of stock brokers and many Bold people who invested blindly. Bolder than Himesh i can say..

Speaking of Himesh, i really don't expect any one to c his movie, but if you have seen it, pls be bold enough to claim it infront of everyone. Cuz i have seen this in the past, many people are his secret admirers. Ajgar my friend, bought his first film's audio CD and then he went on telling a lie that somebody else bought it, it was not him. 
N hats off to Himesh. What it seems like, somebody has over emphasized the spider climbing up again n again story to him. He just doesnt want to give up !! Just look at the promos only. Such pathetic acting. Seriously, i wud have preferred Gulshan Kumar to play the role instead of him.. Oh uhh wait, I think he was even shitter .. Neways.. On mobiles as well, people getting calls these days, " Hi i'm Himesh n bla bla.. Go watch my movie and pray for me " 
I mean what the hell ? Only a big jack ass can do something like this for the promotion. I seriously can watch Sas Bhi Kabhi Bahu thi at home,which is about to shut down i guess ( The Immortal " Ba " must the happiest person i bet ), rather go watch Karz. 

Neways, its great week coming up, with pre fireworks starting in Chelsea vs Liverpool match on sunday to the ultimate showdown on tues. Diwali i meant. N pls go easy on crackers dudes.. 

Oh n did i not mention, There's a unsecured wifi net which i've found near by my house. Soo near that, it catches full 4 bars in my room. And i tell you, there's nothing like using free net in this world. !! Trust me !!

Dusshera

I didn't plan to chip in back to back posts, but one thing led to another and it was worth every effort of mine to come back on my blog.


Neways, Happy Dusshera !! N Dusshera infact is supposed to be very eventful thing in India. I was very much part of this " event " myself back in the days. Back in the days, I no, sounds a bit stereotype ( isn't it ? ). Back in the days, ya !! back when i was uhh, i certainly cannot say " when i was much shorter " but ya, what i can say is," when i was a bit fat ". Few years ago, even i used to jump of my feet honestly, with a idea of going to a dussehra mela. With friends to catch up, play hide seek, or buy a gada or teer kamaan, n lets be honest, the focal reason was that i got legit free time to play with NO STUDIESS ...!! I was as happy as uncle Scruge was when swimming in his treasure chest.

Now, times have changed. Things like watching a ravan full of crackers dont actually seem to fill in the amount of joy ( or i shud say any ) it used to. I was just pushed over to go along with my parents who didn't actually had this planned earlier. It was my mum who wanted to go to fill in for the festive void on a festival. Though i just went there for hardly 10 min n just stood there reminiscing the days when i was the one who dragged my mum dad to go there tried to figure out gods knows what i got excited about back then.

And, honestly, nothing has changed. It's been like 7-8 yrs since i went to any mela of this sort, but really, nothing has changed a bit. Only i guess, people with more luxuries don't prefer to go and this mela thing has become an middle class afair. But as i said, nothing has changed. The people still have that, excitement in their eyes, just to get a glimpse of what they have been watching it from the day they came to know who are Ram and Ramvan. Its something very reflexive i shud say of our people. Like if you push a man into a chocolate store, no matter what his age is, he's sure in for a nice time.
Its that kinds i mean. Hundreds or i should say thousands lined up just to get a peek , of whats happening there. Well, if there's nothing happening, still they'll wrestle for the place anyways :-) .

I'll be honest myself, if i see a ravan burning, it just leaves you happy ( Even if you deny the fact !! ). Reason which i don't even know. I didn't see the ravan burning today, but i no that feeling which has long been indebted to our brain's cache memory. And its something which we'll continue to do i think. Its not that we really want to have a look, but the whole scene of Ram ji firing an arrow and making ravan burn, leaves something in you which is more perplexed than this word itself .
Well, not for those who were not a fan of Ramayan or didn't play with gada's in childhood. Shame on you !!
