Shot One Take One : Back to old Days

Lights...Camera...Action....

The scene emerges of the Bandra Station. Three carrying their luggage coming out of the station with no set plans. Nowhere to go and no one to look up to in the countrys financial capital.

Cut To.....

Three guys sitting in a restaurant and remembering old days on Drinks and Dinner. Coz tomorrow morning they will be on their different paths and no one knows when they will be able to sit like that again.

If you are thinking it is a plot of a fast moving cinema...mind u it is not.
Life has changed leaps and bounds in the last 4 years, but if we look back it hasnt changed much. The original smile that u get while remembering old moments cant be replicated.

Sandy, If you read this some day, I still remember u bowing your head daily in front of a Public Toilet thinking that it was a 'majaar'. And the genuine smile that I get while remebering this is irreplacable.

Bhai, believe me, you have changed a lot in these years and the change has been for better. But the originalities in you are still intact.

Foresight : A look back

The blog I wrote on 25th turned to a literal reality on 26th...with the exception that the day started on 26th but ended only on the next day. Thought of scribbling this as I am in process of logging off my office terminal to catch up a few hours of sleep if I can still manage it (Sleep is like a wife,if you are 2 hours late she makes you wait 4 more hours).
Gut feeling : 27th will be a beautiful day

Tragical Comedy Or Comical Tragedy

Here begins the day,
Will it end ....well it may.
Logged into the terminal,
Lots of mail .....alas all official.

Thought of falling ill.
everyone cant....even thats a skill.
Showelled myself into work,
commending myself occassionally...Young Turk

Lot to address and time crunch,
what else.....No breakfast and a late Lunch.
Beleive me the lunch was a feat,
I achieved it while working...didnt need Mr. Ctr+Alt+Delete

Calls Calls and more Calls,
Mr. Bell....better if u had worked on why apple falls.
A local number then flashed on Phone,
It was chhavi...with a special ICICI personal loan.

That planned outing in the evening,Him and Her.
And what now...what else, an Office-Light Dinner.
Yes the day ended a little later,
with an anonymous letter...to the manager.

In it were written a few love songs,
expectant...it would sound a few Gongs.
Midway to the flat I realized my Blunder,
The Pad used to express the feelings was signed in Bold... GULJINDER

Gut Feeling

Hasnt been a very good day. Decided not to watch a single ball of the Indo-Pak grand Finale at Johannesburg, not even on the net. Just avoiding my bad day to spill over the much talented and Gutsy Indian Team. If they come out the winners I will not regret missing the match. The OOOOOHHHHS and YESSSSS's I am hearing around the complex are saying a story right now. All will be out in another half hour. Till then someone keep the Remote out of my Reach.

Needs V/s Wants

Last couple of days have been an eye opener. I have realized how much a cobweb of WANTS have ve woven around us.Whereas what we NEED is really a small proportion of it. Its hurting to shift from Luxuries to absolute necessities, but that is the only way to realize the difference and enjoy the luxuries the next time.
Punchline:
Stick to your needs and enjoy whenever a WANT is granted, but never get used to it.

Glimpses : As Life Moves On

Easy Times

The Day was Saturday 25th August.
I am in love with this train, and I dont know why. I yet again prefered it over the faster mode. Even though I end up spending 12 hours more every time I chose it over Air travel, I never regretted it.
Living upto its expectations it reached New Delhi Station at 7:15 PM and as always a few Businessmen boarded it for Jalandhar/Amritsar. Among them was this gentleman who I should say had crossed the line separating Middle age and Old age. The gentleman made his space in the compartments think tank in a short span and was soon in conversation with others in our Bay.
Incidentally the topic that arose was the mushrooming of Foreign MNC's in india and there effect on the youth.The wise talk continued as our gentleman served others with his take on the issue. Pointing at me and another young guy in succession he noted "The young ppl like them are getting a starting salary of 15-20K whereas in our time it did not even touch a ton. This easy money is spoiling the youth"
While the talk was on I was thinking about the life I was spending away from home,the late night working just to make sure I could visit home without any issues, the time I will have to burn once I return e.t.c.
I am not aware when the Bay went silent. It was broken by the cold drinks vendor as he approched.
Me and the other youngster asked for a Bottle of Milk each and the Gentleman ordered a 'Mountain Dew'.
