Different Strokes –II

10/10/08:

Its 2.23 a.m and m jus not sleepy as m listenin to “Bas Ek Pal” (I simply luv this song) for the umpteenth time now…..Enjoyed the Dussera holiday lazin around at home, sleepin, eatin and of course chattin….also made an attempt to understand the solutions of maths problems of the last SIMCAT and realized ki “mera kuch nahi hone wala CAT mein”…..was chattin with V wen she asked abt my next topic on the blog and as usual I replied I hav nothing to write and as I write this I realize that I actually don’t have anything to write…..lolz….well she did suggest a topic n I thought I ll jus club it with sum random thoughts to finish of the 2nd part…..

Radio : My lifeline during travel

Now as I m listenin to Aksar (from Hijack and my current favourite song from the recent ones), jus thinking about the importance of radio….. If u r travellin in Mumbai n via bus and the journey takes more than 1 hour and u hav lost ur N73 ME phone n ur current phone doesn hav an MP3 but only a radio, u ll know wat a special place radio wil hold in ur travel life……thou I miss my n73, I hav now started enjoyin listenin to the music n the RJs on the radio… especially on my return journey when it is quite late, busses are empty, no signs of traffic n I get the window seat….. n luv 2 test my bollywood music knowledge by tryin to guess the song before it starts…
About the shows durin morning tym…I get too irritated with jeeturaj (98.3 fm)….n cant stand his voice even for a minute…..wonder how can there be such a huge fan following….while I guess Jaggu- Tarana (94.3 fm) completely rock….theirs is easily the best morning show by far…….n on my journey back, quite frequently listen to the Luv 10 at 10 show by K….n find it quite weird as to y ppl make their confessions / ask ppl for a date thru a radio…..neways interesting to hear them…..n now m too bored to write anything further on this…will jus conclude with the songs dat I m currently listenin to (a list of them actually…hehe) apart frm bas ek pal n aksar
Rock On – Tum ho toh, sinbad the sailor, socha hai ;; Kidnap - Mit Jaye;;
Anwar: maula mere/ tose naina laage (if any1 has this song pls send it across)
Bachna Ae Haseenon : Aahista, Khuda Jaane, Jogi-Mahi
Ankahee : Ek Pal ke liye (movie toh andekhi reh gayi but this song is gud)
Aamir: Chakkar Ghumiyo (the song never became as popular as the movie but donno y this song always bring a smile on my face…do hear this…) n so on…..

The Journey:
I recollect an incident on my way back from office which happened I think atleast 1 month back…..was sittin at the window seat listenin to the radio when a guy came n sat next to me…had a plastic bag inside which there was a brown paper cover…he first threw the plastic bag out of the window n then it was the brown paper cover’s time to go out, inside which was an icecream cup, he then opened the cover of the cup n then threw it out….n I was getting too pissed at this n thought to myself if after finishin the ice cream he s gonna throw the cup as well, I will start yelling (thou I wasn’t sure if it was really a wise thing to do)…..n yup after he finished the ice cream he did jus exactly dat, but fortunately or unfortunately due to the wind, the icecream cup flew back inside and fell on my lap…n I smiled to myself…now I hav a reason to yell…but before I cud say anything he quickly took the cup, threw it out again n apologized sayin it was due to the wind….n I replied (obviously not shouting) “ baat ye cup wapas girne ki nahi hai par aap kitni der se kuch na kuch fek rahe ho….kyon itna ganda kar rahe ho”….to which he replied “abhi daanth nikala hai aur doctor ne bola ice cream khaane ko abhi main ye aur kaha pe fekun”….n I said “jab utar jao tab fekna tha na…ghar pe bhi cheezein aise hi fekte ho kya? (all inspired by those Clean Mumbai-Green Mumbai ads shown in the theatre) please aage se aise mat fekna” after which he din say anything but had an embarrassed look on his face….i thought he atleast was among those better category of people who realize that he shudnt hav done that , coz I wudnt hav been surprised if the other guy wud hav shouted at me askin me to mind my own business….jus wanna request all those reading this….pls don’t litter things around n pls discourage others frm doin so…. The most irritatin part is when ppl spit pan out of the window…..too disgustin but can anything be done here??

The Number 9:
Nopes, I don’t believe in numerology and all, but I do feel that number 9 is lucky for me…..My DOB is 18th (which adds upto 9), September (9th month), n year 2007 (2+7=9) was the best year till date for me as I completed my CA in 2007 ….also one of the reasons y I dint want to take the preponed attempt in 2006, apart from the main reason that I wasn’t prepared…..i actually felt more confident when CA final exam which was scheduled to be held on 3/5 got postponed to 4/5/2007 (4+5 added to 9, 4+5+2007 =18 which again added upto 9)….but I guess something which I never imagined was getting a rank in final n it happened to be 45th…..aha a 9 again!!!!! Too much of coincidence…..

The Title:
When I had started with the topic, the initial title that came to my mind was random thoughts, but considerin dat sumbody already had the copyrights on it, I started thinking of sum other title wen different strokes came to my mind and the immediate thing that I recollected was the serial that used to come on Sony I think (or was it Star) which I luved..infact miss those kinda serials now….Dennis the Menace, I dream of Genie, Small Wonder…..

Time for me to hit the bed…..n now again I don hav any topic to write…..n I hav no clue if wat I have written above makes sense at all…lolzzzz……

Good job wih ur blog. even i had started one but the idea fizzled out quite early for me. i admire ur patience.. really do.

Commenting on the littering incident.. U took the "mayur" path.. the righteous path, i mean.

i had a similar experience when once my auto driver spit his tobacco laden mouthful out of the speeding rick and parts of his DNA got sprinkled on my cream coloured pant.

but rather than giving him gyan, i blasted him with some unparliamentary words. thats me and my approach..

the point is we tend to be "reactive" to social problems rather than being active. even i have had the urge to stop people from littering, smoking, spitting in public places. but something stops me. dunno what. i don't think its the "apne baap ka kya jaata hai" attitude. but havn't tried to analyse it either..


nways. u brought back memories mentioning genie, dennis etc. i will always admire the dubbing for these teles. A1 i say. and then there was the animation era... starting with HE MAN and the dreaded skeleton. I remember i used to shout in my 5 yr old voice(yes i remember) "i am the power.... HE MAN!!" then we moved on to jungle book and in came mowgli, bhaloo, bageraa in our lives. i still remember i used to get a chill down my spine listening to nana patekar as SHER KHAN. then we had duck tales with the adventures of the miserly uncle scrouge and his nephews huie duie and luie. tales spin (hope i got the name right), alladin (and what a great title track it had. somebody fwd me the hindi version plz) but, i guess the bugs n daffy show will remain my all time favourite. half a millimetre above the T&J show. just for its maddness. Its a pity we dont get to see these classics now...

guess it was quite a long commment. so will stop now. thanks vsp for bringing back those memories...

Vijit first of all i would like to thank u for making me addict to reading ur blog.....
Secondly u can even write on the issue "ban on smoking"......
Abt the smoking issue, we can do one thing that "whenever we see someone smoking we can just keep our hand on our nose & give the person a look which will make him feel guilty...."
Abt numerology, it seems slowly u r beleiving in numerology.... u can consult some numerologist....
Abt CAT only one thing i would like to say "B+"
Sorry for again using ur patent word but i would like to say u only "KEEP ROCKING"......

Add one more 9 number coincidence to your list Viju.. :)

29-12-2011 - Your Date of Engagament

2+9+1+2+2+0+1+1

= 18

= 1 + 8

= 9 !!!

Hope this 9 also turns out as lucky as the other 9 sequences! :)
Luv,
Nimmi
