Arranged Marriages

Of course … 

 

You would definitely have seen this coming. 

 

I am not defending it, or supporting it. I am just getting annoyed over the memes & facebook posts like these … 

 

 

I mean come on … you are all giving us a bad name … Arranged marriage isn’t all about SEX…

 

 

It’s the expression of respect to our parents and their choice …  

 

 

And I need not remind you how successful arranged marriages are.

Thanks to arranged marriages, divorce rate is very less in india …

 

So, what I am saying is don’t jump the wagon … and assume it’s all bad. 

Your parents knows world a lot better than you do.

With arranged marriage you’ve a better chance of finding a nice, caring, intelligent, well behaved & PRETTY girl.

 

So all you self dependent guys (The Males) being foul mouth about Arranged Marriages.

If you’ve a girl in life (really ? oh well congrats ) be a man … and go be her man. 

Else, i think you are afraid to breakup with your right hand.

 

Last point … you don’t marry a complete stranger. They give you few weeks or sometimes months to know each other.

 

 

 

PS:- The dead blogger rise again. After lot of motivation from the wife.

PS:– No intended disrespect to anyone, except for congress party … FU Con-dis-grace 

Dear Blog…

It’s been very long, since I visited you. I am sorry I’ve been cheating on you with work. The rat race got to me and got me drifted away from you.

Yesterday, while talking to my better half, I recalled you and then I realized how I grew up with you..

Our relationship lasted for a good 6+ years, but last one and half year marked our time completely apart, I did see you some time from distance but never spoke a word …

But no worries, Now is the time to revive and I am back …  I promise you minimum one post a month.

Chal ! cya … take care 😉

Be gentle with the visiting reader 😉

The ‘U’ Word

“Uncle, Please pass the ball”,

“Uncle, Can you help me out here?” ,

“There it is Uncle” …

.

.

If you get to hear the ‘U’ word more than once a day, from more than two kids … Well congratulations you’ve just graduated from Bhaiya(brother) to Uncle. All of us, well in their mid twenties, have to go through this painful phase.

Like increase in hair-fall, the first white hair, gain in waist size and of-course nagging for marriage at home wasn’t enough. The vicious little kids have to refer us with the ‘U’ word every frikin time.

This always remind me of a particular character from a very popular 90’s TV series Hum Paanch, Certain Miss Pooja Aunty. She use to jump 4 feet if one of girls call her Aunty. It used to be super funny back then … I guess now I know her pain!!

On the same line there use to an advertisement for hair dye, Don’t remember the brand exactly … but in that add too there was the lady who realize she’s getting old after a young boy calls her aunty … and she immediately resort to the anti-aging miracle the kesh kala.Since I can’t locate that add on the Internet … Enjoy this instead … 😉

Though I’ve only come across examples of unhappy females … but let me tell you, we guys are not so fond of the ‘U’ word either. And lucky for ladies … they only get the Aunty tag after getting married.

Of course, It’s the phase of life we all have to go through eventually, but the only thing is we are never seems to be ready to accept it.

It’s funny, how we always prefer being called a MAN instead of a BOY but we are still allergic to UNCLE and feel cozy with the word BHAIYA.

Pointless !!

This post is utterly pointless, more pointless than Zimbabwe and Kenya’s world-cup league match.

The reason me is writing this, well because I am jobless, yes more jobless than Sreesanth.

I wonder if any one actually is going to read this, of course some one will, even Netherlands and Ireland got spectators at Eden Garden.

that’s it don’t feel like writing any more … hope saurabh ganguly feels the same … 😉

Moving on to ….

Funny thing about life is … that the joke is always on you. Although how ever intelligent a person be, almost everyone makes a hue and cry over it … unless of course he can laugh at himself.

5 days back when we were told that, our employers have no money left to sustain their operations in India. Better start packing your bags.

The usual reaction …

Tension … and stuff … you know stress and all ….

took some time to Settle down …

Then I realized … That it certainly is a funny joke isn’t it … like those “road runner shows“, As soon as you catch the road runner a big hammer falls on your head.That close we were when the funds ran out, and that’s the thing with start-ups, YOU NEVER KNOW !!

I am not sad about loosing the shares I earned … Coz, I earned the skill which I can en-cash all my life. It’s some thing else…

In the words of Tim Canterbury ….

” The people you work with are people you were just thrown together with. I mean, you don’t know them, it wasn’t your choice. And yet you spend more time with them than you do your friends or your family. But probably all you have in common is the fact that you walk around on the same bit of carpet for eight hours a day. ”

Although in our case … most of the time it was more than eight hours …. 🙂

PS:- I don’t know why I wrote this post … But at least I wrote.

Happy people on the Facebook

Before I start, let me tell you … I’ve written this assuming that you know the saying “the grass is always greener on the other side” and the social networking website Facebook.

I believe most (except for the self satisfied narcissists and Mark Zuckerberg) of the Facebook users see the others’ updates and think to themselves, these people have so much going on in their life.

Of course not exactly these lines, but yeh most of the vella (jobless), office se thakela (job tired) ya chila hua kela (banana peel jobbed) resort to the website, mostly stalking old love, brag about their phoran trip, post their ugly picture edited and posted on empire-state building with a graffiti artist standing beside it, watching videos stupid people poking themselves in the eye …. and this is just the beginning of the list.

But the point is, we all (when I say we all I m speaking on behalf of all guys in their mid twenties) still feel like giving a nutcracker kick to the lafandoo (a term I don’t really know the English word for) from school for posting a picture with what appears to be a rather better looking gal, totally out of his league.

“See, even he’s doing better … I got a degree from MIT but he got the girl …”

Some times I feel, most of these people are like small time MBA graduates, and they are marketing their life … see who can portray their one’s better than other. And of course, comments and likes are your earnings … of course they don’t know where the apogee to this is ….

 

The Legendary Weekend

So, I was going through news paper yesterday … came across this …

And the memories of last weekend came flashing by ….

.

.

My weekend started with friday the 9th, with me taking a day off from work …. The Whole day spent lazying around at home … and evening going on a ride to Secundrabad and back… Best day ever ….

Saturday Started no different, woke up at 12:00 PM … got the house cleaned … spent 3.5 hours washing clothes … These are the times I wish I was a nudist …

Realized, the meetup of GHAC is in 1 hour, and I’ve not even had shower …

Quick …. woosh …. and I was there on time ….

Honestly … the meet was super bore …. may coz i wasn’t part of most of those trek … but yeh one kid wrote really really good poem ….

Anyway … to my rescue, one of my friend called me… and asked if we can hit the club that night … I was a bit reluctant and tired in the beginning (What the hell for …. donno !! )  Couldn’t refuse …. though …

So, ended up in B&C, total waste of 2 hours … the imported DJ’s were no good, waiting till 11:15 PM … Had some thing and finally left for 10D.

Which was far better … for it’s being the Bollywood night ….

Half an hour …. and the police showed up … it wasn’t even 12 … lights on … no music … go home … 😦

But of course my friends decided to check out some other place … and we ended up at Touch. Police was vacating the place …. and hippest crowd of the city was leaving …

But great sandhoo ji … has some contacts …. and we managed to get in the private party of some actor called navdeep (through the kitchen :D).

And so… we danced till 3:30 AM …. first in a Hyderabad Club. I donno many telugu movie stars … but i did recognize Allu Arjun there. And to my surprise, i was much taller than him … 😀

Hungry at 3:30 AM …. headed directly to Ameerpet Dosa joint … Idli with chutney never tasted this good …

Reached home, at 4:30 AM … there was a trek at 5:30 AM … Thought of staying awake and making it to the trek … but one tiny nap lasted for 7 hours …

Still managed to reach Univercell Hyderabad Meet in time …. It was great fun … Met himank, abhishek and vatasal there too. Of course i m not going to pakoofy you with more details of the meet … you can check this for that.

Snacks were good BTW …

PS: there were certain more awesome things bout the weekend, but ….

Avatar-3D Pack for Home viewing

Avatar 2 disc Blue ray is going to be released by April 22, 2010 in the market. Although, in Feb 2010, the speculations of 3-D version of Avatar coming out for regular VCD/DVD/Blue Ray players was denied.

Looks like with the current development in TV industry, the Disc manufacturers are reconsidering the possibility of doing so.

Well, to cut the long blabber short, here’s a sneak preview of much hyped and eagerly awaited  Avatar’s – 3D Pack, for audience dying to have the experience at home.
