Relationship between Money, Friends and Fun

Back in our PU days: Jagannath Balachandran , Preetam Modur , Vijay Balachandran , Vikram Maheshwaran and I decided to celebrate New Year by going out for dinner on 31st night and then go to MG Road in Bangalore. Those were days where we depended on our parents for every single rupee.

We decided to have dinner at Pavithra hotel at Jayanagar and only when the bill came our assumptions came out that the other person would have brought some money to pay the bill. We tried taking every rupee out of our pocket and yet fell short of what we needed to pay. We promised the hotel guy that we'd pay the balance but I guess we did not. We ran away from that place as quickly as we could and then spent half the night on MG Road.

Those were days where we didn't have money but had fun together as friends. Today we have money to afford the bill for all of us but we don't meet that often.

Days when we had no money sounds like a lot of fun and friendship than days that are about making money. Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

We kill the patient :)

I was browsing through a hospital website that was competing with other hospitals for its ability to cure a specific kind of disease. The way they were marketing themselves was to talk about several patients (disclosing their names) and mentioning how other hospitals were unable to cure them.

I found a particular sentence from their website that tickled me and here it is, "We have treated this patient for an year. Usually such patients don't survive but this patient does"

I can understand what they were trying to mean by that but I just hope they could have worded it better. Review of the text might help but then who cares, they got a blog post from me :)

Swades - movie and inspiration

There are reasons why you shouldn't probably watch a movie the moment it is released. Although I had heard a lot about Swades, I didn't watch it until yesterday. I am not sure this movie would have made so much impact in my life had I watched it during my college days.

I had watched Chak De India and thought SRK did an excellent job in it to bring the patriotism back to some people who might have allowed it to drop. But then Swades is on the same lines but a total different genre.

My throat choked several times and I was forced to have the "dharthi ka pani".

I am just wondering what today's parents are trying to achieve. They want their children to go to America. Huh! Here goes a snippet of the lyrics of a song from Swades

Ye jo des hai tera, swades hai tera, tujhe hai pukaara…
Ye woh bandhan hai jo kabhi toot nahin sakta

Mitti ki jo khushboo, tu kaise bhoolaayega
Tu chaahe kahin jaaye, tu laut ke aayega
Nayi nayi raahon mein, dabi dabi aahon mein
Khoye khoye dilse tere, koyi ye kahega
Ye jo des hai tera, swades hai tera, tujhe hai pukaara
Ye woh bandhan hai jo kabhi toot nahin sakta

 I just cant stop being emotional even when I was reading it. AR Rahman should have been given an Oscar for Swades than Slumdog Millionare.

I will do something for this country and I dont care if others are doing.

Happy Independence Day India : Aug15, 1947

We were declared independent on August 15, 1947. There is no record if we remained independent after that date.

In memory of all those who laid there lives and bore the torture for August 15th, Happy Independence Day! 

In memory of all politicians who have made themselves dependent on our tax money, Happy In-Dependence Day!

CNN IBN Exposes MLA asking for money : Welcome to India!

CNN IBN exposed MLA's asking for money to sell their Rajya Sabha votes. Fantastic job CNN IBN but I am not surprised or shocked. If I am surprised, it means I haven't understood India. Also, as an Indian, I know nothing would be done to those MLA's although the next few days, you will have news about different parties saying something.


As an Indian, I know, that the money I am paying as tax is helping some ass hole take a flight to go bang someone.

Feathers in the bull shit:

• Raj Thackrey accuses people from other states responsible for malaria spread in Mumbai as though people from Mumbai are immune to Malaria
• 100 Bajrang Dal men beat up a woman for celebrating Friendship day. Wah! Bajrang Wah!

I am proud of all achievements the aam admi is doing because they are doing it amidst so much of corruption and politics. They are my heroes.

You want me to vote next time, sure, for which ass hole is the question.

Any good news?

In India, there is one BIG problem I have been observing. Everyone thinks the next logical step after marriage is to have a child and keep pestering the happily married couple with the question, "So, any good news?".

People can hide a job change or a promotion but not a child. So, everyone shall be informed when it happens. The more people ask, the more delayed it might get because stressed people can't produce a child and that is medically proven.

Henceforth, if you are going to ask someone "So, any good news?", there will be people waiting to do it to you. I have something to say to such people; Go, fuck yourself and ask yourself, "Any good news?"

Inception - the movie, the life

If you haven't watched Inception, you wouldn't know why people who pass by you look at you when they cross.

If you haven't watched Inception, you'd think you know the reality without knowing it.

If you haven't watched Inception, you'd think you have a control over your thoughts.

If you haven't watched Inception, you'd think you know why things are the way they are.

If you haven't watched Inception, you might think you know what happens is for good.

If you haven't watched Inception, you might think you fight with your wife because she wanted to.

It was all your idea. Go, sleep to be awake.
