The Big Shot .... (dimag ko)

I dared today, dared to watch BIG BOSS. Yes i did do that it sounds insane. Aaahh enough of this, but the show lived up to its reputation ahmm ill-reputation, rather. To start with i made sure there was something better to see just in case {you know why isn't it}.
The day i.e. the show, started with the morning jingle, alarm its said, and Vindu Singh (an amazing character, guy who knows how to play the game) first on the camera (...dhan tadaannnn.....). Nothing out of usual happening until "The BIG BOSS" sent some fruits for Poonam dhillon. Dont know what got into Ismailji he got furious, got an issue it seems "Rules should be alike for all". And then enter Baktiyar, he got a whopping from Ismail, "Teri biwi kabse coffee maangri hai aur tu kuch bolra nai hai BIG BOSS ko". Bloody hell i mean this show goes no where, the contestants from previous seasons were way too better(atleast entertaining in some respect legends like RAKHIji and Rahul..). To make matters worse there's one"Kamal Rashid Khan"(KRK), the multi-millionaire , he says that about a thousand times in the show. He throws up an dialogue "Big boss yahan multimillionaire se zhadu poocha karwa rahe hai..... ". LOL i mean okay he has that money fine get over it. Anyways if thats the way he entertains people. LOL remember Deshdrohi. This reminds me of RAJU SHRIVASTAV, he is quite an relief, great jokes all new ones, when he comes on camera its a good break from the jerks around. He explains the character of each of the male participants to Rohit verma(nothing good but not ridiculous) his interpretation on KRK was awesome "Sara desh confuse hai yeh chata kya hai har baat pe mere pas paisa hai bolte rehta hai..." you gotta see that part of the big boss footage, you sure are gonna laugh your ass off, in this footage he manages to stump out rohit verma, he goes like this "sarra desh confuse hai ki yeh kaun hai....." and he continues "designer ya choreographer ..... blah " amazing presence of mind. Atleast it was clear raju understands people better, should say a pure gem of a person, he holds the show together. Ahmm well theres another person which i was very 'satisfied' to see on the show 'Sherlyn Chopra'. She's not as OUTRAGEOUS, but certainly feel good factor.(ahmmm)
There was a task given to the house members, guys had to rehearse a dance number from BLUE ... chiggy wiggy .... certainly akshay's coming on the show sooner(as a guest :P) KRK opts out of the practice, and vidhu takes up this opportunity :) he says "KRK toh actor hai baadmein aaram se sheek lenge .....". I hope KRK was not too much happy with this appreciation (I heard deshdrohi 2 is coming up....aaah drop dead) Actually the show was full of KRK shit, i thought he would be a good guy, but he has lots of hollow attitude of his money, actually its apparent he doesn't understand what is going on around, mere dumb ass.
At the end of it sherlyn talks to KRK (they are nominated for elimination), sherlyn says in their room the ladies talk about breast feeding and stuff :| damn it why was that not aired :D, and she was sad to learn about the stuff and wants to go out of the show, well here too KRK steals the show (bladdy ass), he says "Oh no i cant believe this, its difficult , i thought you speak better things....." and he repetitively said "Oh no i cant believe it" ...... (bladdy .... eeeeeksss .. need to puke out.)
On conclusion if it at all mattered :P, show is really ridiculous, worst characters except for raju. Amitab Bachan would be in foot in mouth situation, what got into his head to be a host of such a show. Maybe if sherlyn stays ;) i might watch the show again.(I donno why though :))

Train booking .......

Its a Sunday morning and like every other IT professional i love to spend it on my bed. Well but not everything goes according to the script :(. I was supposed to book tickets for GOA for some family function.I got up early i.e. at 9 am :). If you know me that quite early for me especially on a Sunday morning :(. I got ready by 11 , got down and suddenly i got a feeling i was forgetting something :O. Oh Yeah !! i called up my mom and asked what date are we supposed to go :). {HOTA HAI BOSS}


Scene : At Mulund station, Time : around 11:30 am

I filled up the reservation forms , there where two of them.Being Sunday there were long queues.I placed myself in one of them, which i thought was shortest of all.It was already heating up people around shouting at each other, person at the counter window getting all the slang. {jaldi karna bhai ...... line ke beech mein maat guss} all the usual scenarios which you get to see at a queue full of Indian greats.And to make matters worse it struck 11:50 . Yeah it was lunch time for the clerks. And to be sure the crowd couldn't EAT that. I wish the trains were as punctual ,as these people were for their lunch timing.{Talking about punctual behaviour, this was nothing compared to the strict discipline these clerks follow..... coming up... :D}

These guys came in around 30 minutes.{Applause only 15 minutes late} And people didn't digest it well :D.{I love using intellectual words B-)}. Every other guy started howling {Wooooooooohoo}. I was getting frustrated. People around were so annoying. In all these my eyes went upon a dog having a life time.{I wonder why its said A dog's life .Does it mean good life or otherwise.} The most relaxed species in the entire crowd, It was walking graciously , feeling for better air-condition .There were two fans at the booking counter, the DOG chose one of them for his coolant. Stretching out his legs and then curling them in, finally managed the most relaxing position he could. People around were showing their disgust on that dog too , but after all its a dog , it cares the least , and to show it he had quite an interesting smile on its face. In all the chaos at least the dog was having a great time :D. I had a small laugh for myself, I was amused. Back to the other scenes , there was a small girl, probably she had recently learnt a dance . Free ticket full timepass, what a performance , i actually thought of clapping , cute girl. Well after this performance, I suddenly struck my eye on another cute girl , a little older ;) my age :D , actually she was beautiful , {mast phataka ... :D}. I kept on starring at her :) until she noticed that, she gave a anger look at me , well i suggestively responded with a sorry face. It worked :D. she obliged with a beautiful smile. {I was lost ....hehe}.Well then after a while i was at the counter window , around 1:15 pm , i gave the two reservation forms to the clerk. The clerk was a lady, well dressed with spectacles on, serious look, and the worst ever behavior :x. She was acting as if she was signing some presidential document, which needed so much concentration, to look at the numbers and name ,and after a INTELLECTUAL PAUSE {Sorry ladies but this lady made me feel that women should not be given ,rather given he feel of having a good position }, she asked me where do you want to go? when which train , how much people ? :) . All valid questions :) , but what the hell was she reading on the form :| . Rather why she was wasting time to read the form , if afterall she was going to ask me all these questions , maybe the disgust on my look was quite apparent. She printed the ticket for one of my forms , and when i said "doo forms hai" i got a reply , "line mein jaake khade raho" . WHAT ?? am already in the line . She said "ek time pe ek hi form". Damn the disgust on my face seeped down to my heart , and i pleaded "madam please ek kardoo nah pleaseeeee". I got a feeling like i used to have when at college , to get my journals signed :|.


Well so again i went back into the line,it was 1:30pm. Surprisingly it was a shorter line.After few moments it struck to me , its a sunday :| and booking open only till 2pm :O. {BOSS ab toh yeh pakka kuch jhol maregi :x}. I was feeling the fear , "galat panga liya bhai :(". And as it occurred it was 2pm and i was at the counter. This time with a face full of nervousness. And the lady at the counter had a wicked smile on her face :O. "do baaj gaya counter closed". I was starring at the lady, full of anger , i tried not to show , i again pleaded , please madam ek ticket :). She replied kasaa samjauu tulla counter closed, aata machine accept nai karnar :|{Told about punctuality wow these systems are so well designed , taking care that these clerks never do a overtime not even a single second}. I couldn't take this, in a fit of anger i replied , "Indian railways ka software itna acha rehta toh india mein recession nai aata" {i know that lady didn't understand that dialogue ,neither many who might read this would understand :D Explanation in P.S.}. I was sure she doesn't understand much of english i said "you are a bitch, thank you". She replied with a smile and a sorry :).

I realised that train booking can be fun, but in the end ,SHIT happens !!

{P.S. : Looking at the Indian railways site , it certainly doesn't seem that the company which has built it doesn't get paid well by the government, worst site , useful though. Now if the government was ready to pay enough to its SKILLED IT professionals , we wouldn't have to be so much dependent on US/UK etc
INDIAN DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY : JAI HO !! we are coming}

Trek to far far away !!....Part 2

...... continued
After climbing up some more rocks and collecting some wood{dry stem} and getting poked by thorns we finally reached the TOP. What a feeling !! We were really over joyed.We could see a pond down the other end of the plateau. It was such an awesome site. After certain sessions of photo-shooting we got down to work :D. collecting more wood, stones. And finally we got our victory fire out laid. We started our tea making session. It was wonderful experience and we were not at all feeling the cold, infact we were feeling the heat. As usual :) i took out my T-shirt and then we made Tea , cuppamania hmm boiling water was never so much fun. As usual sachin giving out the orders :P {office mein koi sunta nai salla yahan toh koi sunega... :D} me n horny picking up the sticks and helping the fire. We had the most delicious maggi ever made , and various versions of tea, milk-tea , strong tea , masala tea , :D and followed by a discussion on which was better :D ..... i loved masala tea :D ....... basically tea in cuppamania CUPS :D. after relaxing fir a while, we thought of moving ahead to explore what was ahead :D .

If we thought we have had all the fun n thrill we could have, we were obviously wrong. This section is not for weak hearted people, If you are afraid of really spooky stuff stop dont read ahead :) it might well turn into a nervous breakdown BE CAUTIONED. :D I know it was a good build up :D. But as a reader it wont feel as much ,as and how we went through. We went ahead the course was smooth, level ground, me and sachin went ahead speaking about ghosts and wild animals. Ganesh and horny were having photo sessions. And while we were all together i twisted my ankle on the level ground. I was in so much pain {and these assholes where :x laughing out the hell out of them :x} Ganesh took pics of me in that position {:x :x :x} but thanks to ganesh i applied his spray and was feeling better, but couldnt walk freely. Taking support of horny and sachin we all went ahead. Then came a dense forest and we had to cross it. We all might not be showing at that point but FATTI PADI THI........ sachin and ganesh pulled out 2 sticks , before we could move forward. And our next step and we heard a noisy sound in the forest ahead. We all were stunned to silence.Suddenly all sorts of weird feelings came to our mind , we all ran for our lives, and we ran like never before :O all stunned {i couldnt walk few minutes ago and i was running now}. We came to our previous spot, where we had halted before. We kept on looking behind as to was anything coming behind us. We decided to sleep at the place , no one wanting to be left behind , we kept the torch on, and gazed at the stars , every small noise around freezed us. Everyone coming up with tips for what should be the line of action if something came out. Stay still, dont move , dont jump down the plateau side .... it was really spooky, and some how real thrill, at this point i dont think anyone was saying why the hell we are here :D. after few tense moments we seeped into the situation , and were much relaxed now. We got into sleep hoping that whatever was behind would come after we were asleep :D {we are not brave enough to stare into death. :)}. We got around one and half hour of sleep and when i opened my eyes we all were ALIVE :D . As soon as i got up i felt the chilling cold. It was 5:30 am. It was shivering the hell out of me. We had a bonfire and baked ourselves in that heat.

The fear had gone with the dark. Now felt normal. After setting fire to the near by bushes :D and making the triumph , we set off to our way out of the plateau , to the
same place where we had our spooky moment, On our way back we found :D horny's DEO :D, and investigated some foot prints :| they were big enough and toe part was quite deep. Certainly not cow or a dog :| , what might it have been.Anyways all's well that ends well :) . We went through the forest, it was a small stretch and then we could see the locals. Then we left from there and reached thane by 10:15am .

It was one of a kind trek, it had everything adventure, joy, fun, thrill, chill, heat, fear, prayer, spooky, pain but it was really happening and well deserved break from normal
routine .Thanks to ganesh for initiating , thanks to horny for the support ,thanks to sachin for the boost up and thanks to me :D for coming alive :D.
Wating for another thrill n chill bring it on :)

Trek to far far away !!....Part 1

Well, i write this blog apparently after about 2 weeks,when we actually went to the trek.After many chain mails,requests and last minute cancellations {as usual} ,we i.e. Sachin, Ganesh, VIkram (horny) and me ,met at kurla station 11:15pm on 7th of feb. 2009 ,to get a lifetime experience which was in store.Horny was dressed up well for d trek only concern being he had too much of luggage :D.It was difficult to stand with that huge bag on his back :D and he was going to trek with that load :D.

So we boarded the 11:45pm train.Damn it was so packed :| . We got to sit at Thane. Train trip was itself quite entertaining :D not sure ganesh was enjoying or not :D. Specially the 3-Tier allegation ;) {sorry ,some things have to be censored ;) }.

We reached our destined location{pssst.....I chose this word with caution not a grammatical error ;)} by 1:45am . It was a bit cold by then. On getting down , the station appeared to be a perfect ramse-brothers horror movie plot. We filled our tummy with IDLI-Chatni , thanks to Horny :D. Then we looked around for some guidance :) as per ganesh the trek site was on right side of station :) {i know in IT industry we are used to such detailed specifics} , we ended up with dialogue from One..Two..Three "Tera right ya mera right" :D. We tried to consult with the station master{a potential ramse-bro lead actor} about the where-abouts of GARBETT-POINT :) yeah that was our supposed destination.The station master was so spooky with a white frail face , long eyes , and perfect ramu kaka look who could be care-taker of a Haweli ....Ghoom naaam hai koiiiiiiii....... :O .

Well after we din't get much of a help from ramu kaka, we went in the RIGHT direction :).As we went out of the station , there were fields around, a typical village background. As we started entering the fields ,sachin came up with , "we should have, had knifes". With that frightful feeling we some how managed to cross down the fields and came on the main road.We could see some workers working at a certain distance we asked them about the GARBETT-POINT. They said we should have got down a station early at Nerul, they said the point was very far from where we were. Never mind again on our way . We came in front of the plateau which we would have to climb over. actually some quarry work was going on around, when we reached there the dogs around were really noisy and we all were still. Then some how we managed to over hear the howling, we trekked our way up. At a point we were too much tired and decided to take a break, drank some water and again on our feet. The soil on the plateau was loose and would slip under our feet, It was pitch dark only torches would help see , and there were thorny bushes around and our aim was to reach the top by 3:30 am. Sachin with the no significant weight on his back was quite swift as usual, he guided us through. On the other hand Horny with his bulk was struggling to pave up . I was with horny sharing a torch and sachin and ganesh sharing the other. We reached a point were we had to rock climb , and the soil was loose underneath. We were literally being dragged down. sachin climbed up and showed the way to ganesh, but he too had a heavy bag and was struggling to climb , we slipped but could rest ourself on the cliff edge, but horny had his worst time coming, he slipped and went on slipping, almost a slip down a rock , n some how i managed to stop his trajectory by holding up his bag. I was really scared by that moment as i myself slipped down holding on horny, some how both of us positioned ourself to be safe. Now we were stuck in the same pose, we couldnt move as we wer on the edge and bulky bags wasnt helping. I was sure this would quite be the end of our trek. In the meantime sachin and ganesh were having a laugh of lifetime :x {assholes :x} Sachin had taken horny's 2 ltr bottle :D ,sachin threw the bottle towards ganesh :D and he missed the catch :D and the 2 ltr bottle went rolling down :D and suddenly ganesh came down almost toppling me over. I moved laterally and sachin bhai showed the way , i tried that part and then some how boosted horny to do the task. slowly but finally we got over that point , and bit of rock climbing did us to next level :D ...... {DAVE level 7 .... sorts :D}

.......to be continued
