Ranjha Ranjha from Raavan

Some songs just stick to you the first time...Ranjha Ranjha from Raavan is one of those.

May 1st comes and things such as fight for immigration reforms hold new meaning for me.

A picture from our recent trip from India taken during Sahiba-Jaspreet wedding. Love the colors.

india calling

The feeling just keep getting stronger. All I need is the right opportunity to fit back in as if I had never left. Time will tell as I think it would mean lost 8 years of my life. Still I would have the remaining 40 odd to enjoy in India. I find it hard to understand whether being pragmatic has elements of cowardice hidden in them? Strength, wisdom, advice and prayers is what I seek.

Listening to Kay Kay right now and remembering how Parle used to recommend him as a singer.

upcoming india trip

Makes me very anxious.

beautiful line I just heard

uljhe nahi to kaise suljho ke? bikhre nahi to kaise nikhroge?...

Sample these dialogues from the movie Blue

Nikki: Hum ko mile 12 ghante bhi nahin hue aur tum humure future ke bare me soch rahe ho ?
Sam: Main to peechle bara ghante se hi humure future ke bare me soch raha hoon ! Aur tum ?
Nikki: Sabkuchh batane ki zaroorat nahin hota *lips tremble*
Sam: *grins* (but gets a boner, secretly)

Sam: Bag mein kya hai ?
Gulshan: Mauka. Utha sako to utha lo. (Now that’s called raw machismo)

Sam : Ek bag ke liye 50 million dollars kuchh zyada nahin hai ?
Gulshan: Bag mera tha to kimat bhi main tyar karunga ! (Lesson in Valuation)

Mona: Mera sapna hai ek oceanography institute, marine life ko protect karne ke liye.
Sagar: Is janam me wo sapna hi rahega. Main machhli pakadta rahunga, tum pakate rehna…. (har har har)

Sagar: Koi aadmi sirf tab andhere mein baithta hai, jab wo isqh mein hota hai ya phir pareshan ho.
Sam: Who ek aur karan bhi andhere mein baithta haijab roshni chala jaye. (makes perfect logocal sense but also makes me laugh out loud)

Arav: I always have two of everything heh heh heh.
Mona: That’s Arav for you, he has two of everything! (makes me ROFL)

Then, there were lot of interrogative dialogues using the word ‘Sawal’ which teaches a sure shot way to compose the sharpest comeback lines. I am sure this can be effectively used in office and homes. Allow me to exemplify-

Boss: Maine jo kam bola tha wo tumne kiya ?
Me: Sawal ye nahin hai ki kam maine kiya ki nahin. Sawal ye hai kam hua ki nahin.

Then at home,
Wife: Tumko aadha kilo kanda lane ke liye bola tha, laya ?
Me: Sawal ye nahin hai ki main kanda laya ki nahin, sawal ye hai ki tumko kanda nahin mili to kya honewala hai.

 

Reading the good stuff.

Awesome Ravan burning video... :))

Instant Karma in Bay Area

I would say these guys are giving us some of the worst Indian events. They throw attitude like anything and just because there is no competition at this moment, they think people have to put up with their shit. I can see they are going down...sorry Instant Karma and please stop getting drunk 18 year old girls to boss people around in your stupid events.

Kids of our family

Road Movie - Extended Promo FT. Abhay Deol (Hindi Movie)

Some things are just not worth posting on facebook :)

Gulaal

A complete course in Politics.

love aaj kal

I have to say Imtiaz Ali knows how to use the whole Delhi feel or Punjabi feel in his movies. The scene which depicts Saif travelling to Calcutta just to see her is wonderful. Overall a good movie experience.

toubebas

Toube-Bas is all set to make an opening in the US market. We will be launching our first t-shirt, the IIT-B Skyline tentatively on August 13th!!. To see the actual t-shirt design and place orders on August 13th, please follow the link.

Pricing would be $15 per t-shirt.

IPhone post

This is my first iPhone post. Mood is complex and the uncertainities within are overpowering. Somani and I once discussed how much we both love secretary jobs, I think I would use this passion when I start sending out toubebas tshirts in a couple of weeks.

happiness

I wish I was a little more intelligent and had the ability to think deeper. My habbit of superficial understanding of everything helped me crack exams and get great scores but failed me to understand life and what I want from it.

That will be all.

choti baatein

"choti baatein ki hoti hain yaadein badi"

Just exchanged some emails with topi and puneet on good old Cheda Shopping Center opposite Y-point.

My IISc Day Part3

Later that afternoon, I met with Prof. Dwarkadasa again where he told me that I have been assigned to work with him during the summers. I was honest and upfront to tell him that I am not interested in Physical Metallurgy and would like to carry out my research on electronic materials. He was a very kind natured gentleman and offered his full support to me. Later that night I went to my dorm room and met my roommate Hrithvick, I do not remember his last name. Hrithvick was returning to IIsc for the second time and was carrying out research on genes and biology stuff. The moment we met, I was intrigued and impressed by his intelligence and confidence. On the contrary, he appeared to have figured me inside out. Within half an hour, he bluntly asked me that if I wanted to go to USA after your bachelors, to which I shamelessly said "yes".
Hrithvick smirked and probably crossed my name from his books completely. Over the summers, we rarely spoke or met as we were both busy carrying out research and were rarely in our room. Going back to that dilemmna I was in Prof. ESD next day told me that he had spoken with the registrar and if I am able to find a new advisor within a week to ten days, he would be okay otherwise, I would have to work with him to qualify for the Rs 2500/- stipend.

I have a strong feeling

That I am meant to do something really big. I am hoping I discover that soon.

That will be all and I end on this note.

"Abhi Abhi mere dil mein yeh khyaal aaya hain..."

Youth of India

I think Indian youth should learn at least one martial art. With everything that has happened in the last three-four years to Indians outside India, we should hit back!!.

Personally I plan to learn the sikh martial art of Gatka this summers.
