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!!
