There was this brief but a very serious tete-a-tete between 2 guys in a firm. Here goes the conversation.
1st guy (1st guy comes late to the office): Kai re aaj late alas?
2nd guy: Ho re, ship madhe alo.
1st guy: (totally perplexed) ship madhe?
2nd guy: ho re.
1st guy: pan tu thanyat rahtos na?
2nd guy: ho re.
1st guy: Gava la gela hotas? Kuthla gav re?
2nd guy: Nahi re ithech tar hoto.
1st guy: Mag ship kasa?
2nd guy: Adhich decide jhala hota meeting madhe ki me ship madhe yenar.
1st guy: (Goes nuts) Meeting madhe? Bus madhe ala asheel na ?
2nd guy: Ho re, bus madhech alo pan ship madhe.
1st guy: (goes bonkers and decides rather not to ask any further) Ok.
After a lot of thinking he comes to know tat the first guy came to work that day in shift hours. He had no other option but to seek mercy from Lord to have made the mistake of starting the conversation. Though, the third guy who was a mere spectator to the entire conversation had a ball of a time listening to it and laughing his ass out.

Fate......ufffffff!
You meet your fate on a big flat plate,
you reach the gate or u deflate.
If you reach the gate, you will satiate,
Ride with the wind and emancipate.
But if you deflate, your faith will wither,
Your soul will slither and precipitate.

Losing myself
Tired of this lonely shit
Gotta get yourself newly lit.
Get hurt for a while
But overcome it in a jaunty style.
Get your life on a high
Feel the serenity of the clear blue sky.
Do all the crazy things
B'cause life ain't worth leading with a jinx.
Never forget the purpose of your existence
Fight every problem with a procrastinating persistence.
Nothing is permanent everything is temporary
Imbibe the pleasant moments in your grey armory.

Why can't we rewind?
There are times when you wake up in the morning and with some not so good things happening around you, you feel its just not your day. You yearn for that little change which would make you feel good, but everytime you anticipate the much awaiting change the dame luck will bamboozle you with its filthy mischief.There are times when you have no idea as to where your life is moving on. You decide you would bring a change in your life but it just does not happen. You have many decisions to make but you just can't finalise any. You hope meeting the right people but end up with the wrong ones. You try drinking on strong spirits but the circumstances suture your limits.
Why can't we just rewind? Why can't we just go back to our good old college days and have our carefree and immature ways? Some say this is mid life crisis but I say sometimes LIFE is harsh on us for no reason.
But you gotta fight it your way or the high way!!

PAKKK GAYA HU MAI!!!!!
Sitting in the office bay, absolutely blank, having nothing to do, aint certainly an interesting thing. Its one of those times when your mind is hovering over the skies of a presumptive enthralling weekend while your body is arduously trying to keep itself awake. Its a phase when your inner voice is muttering, "What should I do now? Big time pak raha hai yaar!". Some ingenious ideas then start creeping in your mind. Should i just stand up and yell out loud, without any inhibitions, in an assertive voice "PAK GAYA HU MAI!! WOT THE FU$# YAAR!!" or may be just yell out with all the force from my gut, "TAKE A DEEP BREATH. CALM DOWN!". I am pretty sure, if any of these happen, I am gonna sit idle for pretty long :).
I turn to my right and find my colleague with a confused look. I presume he is stuck up in some piece of code and the look of his suggests, its gonna take him quite a long to come outta the code. So no point in bugging him. All of a sudden my eye catches the site of this person sitting in the opposite bay. On the first go, you may think, he is practicing one of the dance postures from a Sridevi movie. A few seconds out of the Sri Devi posture and he adapts himself quickly into one of the yogic postures. I bet he is a big fan of Mandakini too. Yes sir, this is the "stretching my body" act he is going through. Quite a creative guy, i tell you!!!
OK!!! Finally i get some work or should i say, i get a chance to pretend to code ;) So, as it is said in espanol, adios, hasta luego!

Knocking on heaven's door
"Major Mohit Sharma of the Parachute Regiment killed in the Hafrada forest battling terrorists on Saturday". This is not exactly the news you would be happy, reading on your breakfast table. One more braveheart gives his life so that his people would live in safer haven.
Why is there so much hatred in people as to one human being may consider taking life of another? Be it the Vietnam war or the 26/11 Mumbai gory, the Kargil victory or the unscupulously imbecile Rama Sene aftermath, the 9/11 twin tower macabre or the hatred for the North Indians in Mumbai, the end result has always been a bloody splatter. What next??..One fine day it would be well erased from everybody's mind and the cycle would continue. No remorse, no lessons learnt!! So why in first place have we to indulge in such heinous acts. Can't we just get up every morning with a "FEEL GOOD" feeling? I just feel like KNOCKING ON HEAVEN'S door!!
"Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door.
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door."

When cricketers fight the terrorists!
"Thilan (Samaraweera) has a bullet shot in his leg but he is fine. Paranavitana (Tharanga Paranavitana) was in the hospital and he had a shrapnel in his chest but thank god it didn't penetrate deep in the body. It was just on the surface. Everyone is OK. I had shrapnel inside my shoulder but they have all been taken out. I am OK. Ajantha (Ajantha Mendis) had a few in his back and scalp but he is fine. Everyone else is perfectly alright," said Sangakkara." ----These are the few lines which posed as a conundrum on me. Have these cricketers really
gone through all this? Atleast the statement passed on by Sangakkara sounded as if this particular feat, of shrapnel penetration, was one of the activities in their daily chores and did not matter to them much. A question that i may like to impose is, are the Srilankan cricketers brave players or they are just foolish dilletantes? Even after the 26/11 attack, the problems of Taliban taking over Pakistan, other cricketing countries refusing to go to Pakistan, these people had the chutzpah to visit the Pak soil!
The other day i was having a conversation with one of my best buddies. We came to an ingenious idea as to how the players can be protected from such attacks even while playing on the Pak soil. Every player should be carrying a sack on the field, along with the other cricketing accoutrements, which would have a pistol, some hand grenades, an AK 47 rifle and some dry fruits. If need arises players can defend themselves with these. This would
have an added advantage of a reduced security. In these times of recessions this can play a major factor ;).
But some of the problems that the players would face, we thought was, say if the bowler asks the fielder to shoot at the non strikers end. eg: Iran Pathan at the non strikers end yells to Sehwag,with a hope of getting a run out, saying "SHOOT SHOOT". Now the fielder would be put into a really big dilema as to whether there is a terrorist outbreak and he needs to shoot by pulling out the AK 47 from his bag or he needs to shoot the ball.
Now Mr. Dhoni has to be really careful in such cricumstances while muttering the words which he uses to encourage the bowlers and unsettle the batsman, like "Le le isko, apna aadmi hai" (Take this guy out, hez our man ..thought of translating this one just for my ever growing international fans who follow my blog ....muahaha!). The bowler might
misunderstand him and take the batsman off his life with the pistol in his bag.
I bet in these circumstances the players would mutually be benefitted as they would always be on guard because the next time when there is a catch to be taken near the boundary rope and the bowler yells "CATCH IT", the fielder would be rattling his brains to find out whether this was a call to catch the grenade that has been hurled or the ball :).
