EPISODE 02: “TO BE OR NOT TO BE... BUT TO BE!”

Hey! I know last time I said, I will be back in a bit... it was quite a big bit! Inherent laziness... that’s all that there is to it! And don’t blame it on me... blame it on my genes! I mean really, can you seriously blame me for being lazy; me, who chose sleep over coming into this world?? (You know what happened in ep1!) Anyways, what’s done is done. So here I am staring blankly at a blank page thinking what to write? You see what happened here? Just to get the ball rolling, I used a technique, which everyone in television is aware of... RECAP! See I can almost hear that... “Ah... Oh yeah!” in your heads! And I can also see that sly smile which you are trying to hide so unsuccessfully! I am telling you... I am good! Anyways, ok here’s something to kick your brains and jump-start those memory glands (read: memory... and nothing else!!!)... This question is to all the non-teenagers like myself and to all those who wish they were as young as me... When was the first time

EPISODE 01: “A WRITER IS BORN! (yeah right!)”

Its been really really long time since I have written. And not because I had lost faith in writing... its just ...that...er... I am really lazy! In fact writing is something that I believe, was always inside me, at least this is something I know deep inside. I don’t know exactly how deep! I am not saying that I am a writer ... no I am not. But I know for a fact that I have the skills ... not the patience... but the skills!! So most often than not, I don’t end up writing things that are on my mind. I know that’s a bad thing and a lousy attitude but then what do you expect from a guy who fell asleep just before coming into this world! Yup! That’s me! My mom often tells this story, and of course I don’t have a say in it! And my dad agrees; but I don’t know if he agrees because it is the actual fact, or because he is supposed to as part of his husband duties! (Which I now understand as being one myself!). Anyways, the legend goes that when my mother was in labor, and everyone w

my encounter with the god of all things!

Hellos people... Recently Mumbai mirror dedicated pages 4 to 19 for the god of cricket - Sachin Tendulkar About how he is the man! About he has bajaoed many a men! About how everything he is! And I don't have anything to say against it; probably will end up adding a few hundred pages more about him... But the question is what can i write about him, that no one else has written (forget in the last 21 yrs… In the last 21 hours!) And the answer ... I can! Impossible is nothing! Well...This is my salaam to the most favorite person of the people of the cricketing - world! (Complicated? No its not, mite be grammatically wrong… But u get the drift!) Every kid had, has and will have the wish to meet this great li'l man! And I am no different. But what is different is that I did meet him. Well almost! It was sometime in '89-'90 I was about 1/16th the size I am today in length breadth and height. As a kid if you are told, that some guest is coming home tonite, then you... Really

Make a wish come true!

No guys I am not offering any genie-like services, which I know many people would want. But no! However the subject is not that different though. I am sure all of us have seen either the lord of the rings trilogy or the dhaapnya boy wizard stories. Mind you I have said SEEN, not READ. (Although I know how most of you like reading such stories; I, personally, prefer being lazy and someone else visualizing it for me!) Anyway, that’s not the point; I mean all of us have seen the way the films are visually presented in the west! The huge big budget films, to say the least, are done very clinically, at least in terms of production and technological usage. And the simple reason for this is that they have been doing it for a long time, and they have got better and better at it. As a result, fantasy as a genre has become popular and appreciated and now filmmakers are taking that risk and making films that have a budget equivalent to that of our politicians ghar kharcha! Now that’s a huge thing

my first attempt...

Hi guys... This is the first time i am writing.. I mean i created this account almost a year ago, but never really got myself to write. Today I accidentally clicked on my friend Melly's blog site and then realized that even I have registered here, and its about time that I utilized it. So after a long and tedious process of trying to figure out how to reach this page (which actually is dead easy) ... here I am!! How many times have we actually gone ahead and done things that we really really wanted to do? i mean as kids .. hell yes! We didn't give a damn to anyone.. not even our parents. But then what happens when we grow up? Why do we get into things like 'oh, what will he think if I do this?' or 'What will she say if it doesn't work out the way it's supposed to?' And these were the things which kept me from actually starting with a blog. But like they say you grow out of everything and age gracefully, well similarly I have de-grown (if thats a word!) a
