THE BLUE MUG - 2

I remember the first day here at A8/14-6,(MT,SP),Navi Mumbai, that is the address where my sister and brother-in-law live in.It was a long and tiring journey.Infact very irritating because I feel traveling in 2A coaches is like kicking your own ass but for me it was more than that.All that made me crazier was the Punjabi couple traveling with me.They had boarded the train 6 hours later than me from I do not know where at around 2 pm.It was already lunch time so I ordered some food for me and to my surprise they did not order anything.What happened next was a must see situation.They came with this huge bag and big big dabbas in it.And the dabbas were tightly packed with varieties of eatable and non-eatable stuffs.For a moment I seriously thought that they did a mobile catering business.But for the first time my intelligence betrayed me.The entire food was only and only for them.I took a teaspoon of rice and trust me that was the last spoon I had it in the train. Because the scene that was created by the Sardar & Sardarni in front of me made my hunger the biggest enemy. Those nuts had nothing to do but eat. Thank God, they had brought in plenty of spicy stuffs to eat or else they could have turned to Cannibals and I would have been their first victim.

After two hours at around six those B*E*E*E*E*E*PS started eating again.You must be wondering,mathematically 2pm + 2hrs=4pm but why I have written six.It is because they finished their lunch at four i.e., the previous eating session lasted for two hours.The corny couple entertained each other only by eating,eating and eating.It was mid-night and suddenly I heard a miserable sound and to my knowledge, man!!! that was the Sardar's fart.Then it was Sardarni's turn very similar to the sound of trumpet.And man!!!Yuck!!! I can not even express how those welcoming sounds stunk.I felt like I was in the Punjabi's loo area.I rushed out of the compartment towards the door and opened it to feel some fresh air.And I said to myself "na khana na sona...congrats! Subah no tension of muh dhona & ____ dhona" ...And I had to illegally smoke the entire night.The train moved and stations passed and it gradually became another day.

The first sunlight was forcing me to close my eyes but I couldn't dare to go inside.It was then the couple came outside to clean themselves.Luckily I got sometime to sleep.And in no time I went off to sleep.After two hours I woke up as I heard the couple coming in.That means after brushing, did they shit for half an hour each??? And that was obvious for me to accept it. I think they were getting more of mathematical problems too as I did only calculations on them.Anyways I could manage to pass another painful ten hours with those bloody digesters.

Finally I reached LTT where my sister had come to receive me.To be frank, I was zero percent excited in this trip of mine to Mumbai.Might be the reasons were few but were enough to put me in depression. I almost felt like I was going to have a nervous breakdown.I was unable to get involved in interesting things that I usually like to do, I was unfocused about my career,problems with my girlfriend were some that made me confused.I did not know what exactly to do in that particular time. Tried many ways to get rid of those problems but nothing worked out.I just had to wear a smile on my face so that nobody would ask me what has happened. So that was all how I reached.


This way I was a bit affected by physical and mental weaknesses so had a cup of strong coffee and went to have a bath.Then slept for couple of hours as I was dying out of tiredness. Forget it!!! I mean forget what happened to the Punjabi couple.I know they must be eating if not then must be farting.Hmmm....Huh!!! Ravi bhaiya had invited few of his colleagues and we had a party that night.Babu my childhood friend had also come and after almost 48 hours I was feeling a bit relaxed .So that was all about the first day here in Mumbai.

And today the first day of the remaining three days here I am taking memories along with me.Thanks Ravi Bhaiya for canceling my ticket that day otherwise I couldnt have enjoyed the play "The Blue Mug".I loved it the way the play explains the journey about memories, both good and bad.And as Konkana Sen Sharma said it in the play ,"A moment lasts all of a second, but the memory lives on forever".So few memories going with me too to cheer for.Taking puffs in the balcony and then trying to escape from khatijabai's scoldings,making stratergies while playing chess,boy's night outs in 402 and recently following the rules and regulations made by khatijabai after entering to her den and etc...The way the play made me laugh and sometime cry similarly this 2-months has made me happy and sad too.The cold war between the Lion and Lioness and after an unpredictable time gap again taking care of each other was something amazing and new to experience.Perhaps that is how life goes.Sometimes you are hurt and sometimes you are consoled.

As the play "The Blue Mug" had nothing to do with the mug, the blog here "The blue Mug - 2" also has nothing to do with the mug.But yes both of them say about memories.It is a memorable tour for me as I have realised a lots of things and that too in a strange way.Though I can not express the strange ways.But one thing for sure, I came here with an off-mood but going with full-on energy.Thanks to all those reasons that has made me happy today.


Its time to take a bath now as I can see the blue mug is floating out of the bucket in the bathroom...Catch you in the next blog...

Luck by Chance

"Aug 6, 2010"(Jammu and Kashmir)

"The Heaven on Earth" situated at the northern most part in India is no more in its actual shape today.A state of Valleys and Lakes, Buddhist monasteries of Ladakh, the sacred place "Vaishno Devi",Three Mugal Gardens, Natural Autumn effects, Winter snowfalls are something that have always attracted people from all over the world.The Chinar trees that are present in India only ,the houseboats, Shikaras(small boats) in the lake add to its beauty.

Unfortunately, there is something that the Government is concerned about and that is terrorism.Terrorism is being fomented by a few terrorist groups especially the group called Al-Qaeda..People in few regions,we can say are acquainted with the sounds of bullet firings and bombardment.We hear of kashmiris, militants, journalists dying everyday or every two days.Any ways terrorism in the state is an unending debate which we can not sort it out by writing blogs.

Besides, there is something else .Its about the natural disaster that occurred few days back at Leh Ladakh.The cloudburst that killed over 150 people.Over 200 or 300 people are still missing and the Armymen are in the operation to rescue them.
During this operation,a baby girl was rescued named Deldan Angmo.She was found floating in the mud.The 2 years child surviving the flood when her entire village was washed off by the devastation is truly miraculous.More than that how the little girl's brain would have reacted in all those situations before she was rescued.Its painful to even imagine anything of that sort on my part.She was rushed to the nearby hospital and was taken care off.But the story does not end here.After interrogation,Deldan's mother was also found alive who was shifted to another hospital.

Finally both the mother and daughter are now re-united.Atleast for the time being they can be a kind of booster to each other to lead the life in a certain way.
A hearty salute to the Indian Army and to both Mother&Daughter...Especially to Deldan Angmo.

BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP IS REAL OR FAKE


Being in a relationship or being in love with a person and to make it go smooth, it has to deal with mutual faithfullness,trust , care and understanding.Purely regarded as one with two different bodies.

Apart from these both are individuals.They have their own roads to go and they come across meeting people, friends & colleagues.By that time, he/she starts interacting more with the colleague/friend than his/her partner.Gradually their conversation get personal and the person tends to develope a special bonding.And I agree, its very natural for a human to get attracted to others.

But in result,the relationship we consider to be pure takes a new shape. WHAT IS NEXT....
Its either a mental make-up or a stright way break-up.And I believe its worst at both the cases.

If it is a break-up, the world will come to know about the splitting.And if it is a mental make-up, it will remain between the couple and they will keep blaming each other till the end of their lives.

TAKE A BOW "LIL MASTER"


What a match it was. Now I feel there should be a dictionary meaning of Sachin.And the meaning should be like this.."The God of Cricket"..
I mean what else Sachin can do for all of us. 36 yrs of age, playing 25 overs of d innings, against best bowling attack and scoring a double ton. Hats off to you.
As I was watching the match on D D National, a funny incident took place. The conversation between the two Hindi commentators. If you remember when Sachin was in 140s he faced a touch and go runonut situation. Then one of the commentators asks the other, "aap ko mai dekh raha hoon, nervous hokar aap apna haat-pair hila rahe ho". Then the replay confirms that Sachin is not out. Then the 2nd commentator replies, "situation hi aisa tha ki mere sharir me sirf haat-pair nahin balki saari cheezein hilne lagi thi". I mean how can you give such a censored statement and that too on DD national(considered as the most respected channel). I just couldnt stop from laughing. And may be its true whatever the commentator said. Sachin was playing his best.

I am proud to be living in the same era, in the same country as yours...PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN!!

CHEMISTRY...(MYSTERY OF CHEMICALS)



The branch of the natural sciences dealing with the composition of substances and their properties and reactions.This was the definition I came to know when I was in VIth Standard and got an impression that it is an interesting subject.But today as I am doing my MSc in Chemistry,truly speaking the interest I was having towards this subject is totally lost.I am fed up with the subject.

Recently,while I was preparing for my exams,I found a word called '3,7 dimethylcyclopentanophenantherene'...Damn this word is bigger than sentences I write.I took a stopwatch and started reading the word again.Seriously it took me seven seconds to reach to the end of the word.And after that there was one way and that was to close the book and sleep.And I did that without any hesitation.But the next day I daringly took the step of going through the word again and came to know that its nothing but the positions of methyl group in cholesterol i.e.,its a cholesterol structure where four cyclohexane rings are attached to each other and two methyl groups are attached to it in position 3 and 7 respectively.And later when I stepped into the synthesis part of cholesterol believe me the entire mechanism comprised of seven pages.Initial step consists of one closed ring with two methyl groups and one phenol.And finally after various experimental methods it was converted to four closed rings and one opened ring with one OH-group attached to it.And this is called cholesterol whose molecular formula is C27 H46 O. We know that its harmful to a human body if the cholesterol level is high but I would say its more harmful if we go through the theoritical study of cholesterol.And finally when I completed this chapter my brain had reached its melting point and I again went to sleep.

What I wrote above was about cholesterol only.But that was not the end,there were more products that sucked me.They are Alkaloids, Quinine, Respirene, Terpenes, Alpha-pinene, Camphor, Oestrone, Equilenin and more...

But again today in the morning while I was going through wikipedia I found an attractive product called Aerogel . Aerogel is a solid state material with the lowest known density.There are various kinds of aerogel like silica-aerogel,carbon-aerogel,allumina-aerogel.




The above pictures are different forms of aerogel.See how a 2.5kg brick is supported by a piece of aerogel weighing only 2 gms.After going through the article I realised that I am lucky to have this subject and should take more interest towards this.

TIME DID THE CRIME...


CHARACTERS- ADAM WRIGHT(Mr.Right) AND LEFFY ROBERTS(Miss.Left)...


It was May 31, and Mr. Right was all ready to meet Ms Left. The meeting was important because Left was leaving the city next day . Ms Left was shuffling her eyes at the clock and the calling bell wondering when there will be a ting-tong at the door and she will open with a welcome smile. On the other side Mr. Right was having the mutual feeling and was ready with his bike so that he could reach on time.

Both of them were getting desperate as they realized that their love was growing stronger. They wanted to forget all kinds of misunderstanding that had happened in the past. The countdown had begun and Mr. Right was on his bike.

As he was halfway, he heard the cell-phone ringing. He stopped his bike to receive the call. And the reply from the other side was,”Adam this is Torenz. Please meet me within 5 mins. Its urgent.” Before Adam could say anything Torenz cut off the call. Mr. Right had to agree as Mr. Torenz was his best friend. He had to make a U-Turn and rode straight to his friends house. Now there were a lot of questions why had called him up like this. Imagining all sorts of things, he reached his friend’s house. Adam went inside and found Torenz sitting on the sofa. His eyes were closed and hands on his head. Adam went nearer, kept his hand on his shoulder and asked,Torenz what happened. He opened his eyes and replied with a nervous expression, we need to go to a village immediately.

Adam - But why?
Torenz- My driver has run the truck into a hotel and the pillars are broken.
Adam - But…
Torenz- Please don’t ask anything. Few people are injured and the public over
there is very angry and they want me to go there. And I know there is one person who can take me out of this difficulty. Its you Adam.
Adam - Ok I will go with you but please wait for sometime. Just get the papers ready. I will be back in 10 mins.

Adam went straight to Leffy’s house. Reached and walked towards the door thinking how he is going to face his girlfriend. He also knew how his girlfriend is going to react after she comes to know about the truth. Adam started crying inside which he didn’t want to express infront of his girlfriend. Stood there for sometime, tried to control himself, kept his head blank and pressed the bell. Within no time Leffy opened the door with the same cute smile.

Ms. Left - Come…
Mr.Right- No baby…I cant.
Ms.Left - Very funny. Please come inside.
Mr.Right- Baby please understand. I need to go.
Ms. Left – No please. You can’t go anywhere. That is it. After all whats more important than me.
Mr.Right-Baby its important. (Explains what has all happened)
Ms.Left -But…
Mr.Right-Please baby.I cant help it.(turned back and walked off)
Ms Left -Please stay atleast for half an hour. I want to be with you for sometime.(starts crying).

Adam didn’t look back and kept walking as he knew that he can’t see his baby crying. Turned the key on and went. Leffy kept on crying standing there near the door. She stood there for half an hour hoping her love would come back. But her eyes only waited….


IT WAS MR.RIGHT WHO LEFT
AND THEN MS.LEFT ALSO LEFT
IT WAS LONELYNESS AT THAT TIME
AND THE TIME DID THE CRIME….
MS.LEFT WAS RIGHT
MR.RIGHT WAS ALSO RIGHT
ONLY WRONG WAS THE TIME
AND THE TIME DID THE CRIME…

HANDS AFTER "LEG-BEFORE"





Yes,this is the third consecutive time Sachin got out by a wrong decision made by the Umpire. The appeal was again for LBW...Damn the poison-finger was up again...Umpires have become vampires.. Coach Gary Kirsten was dumb for a while...Sachin's expression after that was very annoying...And all the fans were as angry as you were...

But after that it was in the hands of Yuvi and V iru...They were in a full-flow.. Yuvi after geting his century,lifted his bat towards Sachin...Then it was Viru's turn...And in the end it was Yusuf Pathan scoring a quick 59...
