miss you always

It has been six years since we parted. You were there with me for four wonderful years and not a single day in the last six years has passed when I have not missed you or thought about you.

Looking forward to meeting you again soon.

The Bhullars ...

Okay there is no pro-sikh agenda here :) but I find it rather strange that I made the Saragrahi post and a few days later I read this story about the bravery of Bhullar family. A short one but still worth a few minutes.

300 Spartans and 21 sikhs

While talking with Pathak the other day about this new movie called 300, I said that there are many instances of such bravery in sikh history too. To my surprise he immediately said and in his words .."abe sachi chadha, mere mann mein pahli baat yehi aayi thi, ki agar meine yeh movie banaayi hoti to shaayad sikhs warriors par hi banaayi hoti". Today I bumped into this interesting poster on the Battle of Saragarhi where 21 sikhs laid down their life's fighting against a huge army of afghans. Hopefully the creaters of this poster will not mind this.

1971

I want to write just one thing about this movie '1971'. It is one of the finest war movies that Bollywood has ever produced. The movie is very close to Lakshya to the levels of impact it leaves on you but with much much more heart.

The story is based on true facts and had to be told. Director Mira Nair once said, we indians should learn to tell our stories. Director Amrit Sagar has done full justice in telling this story that every Indian should know about. I would recommend all my friends to watch this movie on a warm sunny afternoon when they have all the time to think.

its all about you

Yes this post is all about her...the girl in my life...my wife Ishmeet. What makes her so different is her immense love for food. Matlab hum dono bhaithe hain and all of a sudden she remembers something about that nukkad wala omelette guy, they way he used to put full green mirchi's in the omelette, the amount of butter he used to put in the omelletes. Uff...and the way she describes it makes me wonder..yeh kya ladki hain yaar yeh. Yeh to buss ek kissa hain....I do not feel writing more on this topic all of a sudden but she mentions the paranthe wali gali and so many of her favorite restuarants.

So many things have happened recently....Spiderman-3 sucked all of a sudden. TaRaRumPum was strictly okayish. Parle is writing really great blogs and Topi is writing nothing. I met Mallad at Denny's after a desi party that he attended and was surprised to see some old H10 dwellers, also coming from the same desi party.

I am finally coming to the point in my job where I do not feel like working. I am surprised that it happened to me so early on..in just 3 years. I guess yeh dil maange more, maybe another omelette :)
