Vo bhuli dasatan lo phir yaad aa gayi......

Vo bhuli dasatan lo phir yaad aa gayi,
najar ke samane ghata si chha gayi......

Geezers,
Happy Diwali and happy new year (according to Gujarati calender) to all....
Though last year was full of imotional struggle, I have some unforgettable hilarious memories of this year. Its always difficult to visualize the situation until you face it,but I have tried my best to describe it in possible good way.

1. Once in college my jounior came to me and said "I want to write my biography 'My Struggle' "I was very delighted and encouraged him to do so. Then he said "but there is a problem..." I asked "What?" He said "I have down loaded something from net. I am afraid I will be caught if
someone would have already read it...." (Even autobiography is also downloaded now... :-) )

2. On 22nd Auguest,2005 I along with my friend Brijesh (BD) and his parents were waiting for train at Linggampalli station, Hyderabad. It was half an hour to go till train comes,so I started moving around. I also visited the toilet and as I came out a lady came to me and asked "E anna, kitna paisa ? I was scared... and humiliated before uncle. But with little help of others over there I could realize that that lady didnt know hindi and wanted to say"aapne paise nahi diye" as the toilet was pay and use........

3. Once on great Sunday me, Yashpal and Yunus decided to make Pulav at Yashpal's home. We brought some random vegetables and started cooking Pulav. It was our first experience,so we were adding all vegetables into that which were available. All of sudden Yunus yelled "ye ringan aur vataane bhi dal do.... " Listening to Yunus's hindi me and Yashpal could not stop our laugh.We then recalled this matter till we were togather in college days. (Yunus will be very delighted to see this incident on blog,as he always believes in sharing fun)

4.One of my friend got a new job at Ahmedabad. We met after a long time and here goes our conversation.
Me: "How is your new job?"
Friend:"great job satisfaction....."
Me:"What are you working upon?"
Friend:"Building a porn website....."

5.I have good experience of Murphy's law. In one of the lab I had a crowd to listen to me. I spoke for almost 20 minutes like expert,challenged so many things and then said "So guys,here is the output " and I hit enter key. I saw audience grinning at me. I turned back and look at the message on the screen "Not enough memory to run the program.." (Then I had to excuse "Yaar it was running fine.. i just tried " and all... :-) )

I hope you enjoyed this blog.

Ek tuhi dhanvan he gori (a man infact).......

Chandi jesa rang he tera sone jese baal,
ek tuhi dhanvan he gori baki sab kangaal....

I have to take U turn and come little back to enter in my company building campus. On 20th October, Thrusday evening I was on a way to come to my office. Due to traffic I had to pause at turning end of that U turn. All of sudden i saw a beggar standing near by me murmuring something. His hands were full of bags so were hardly visible. How come a sole man speak to none ? It drew my interest and I lent my ears to hear him...

Abruptly he happened to see me and stopped his chat, then with bit fear he gazed at me and then smiled... very gently he cut his MOBILE call and started laughing at me... I could not believe my eyes.... a beggar with a mobile phone ????!!!!!! He forwarded his hand and said "salam valekum bhaijaan garib ko kuch dedo...!!" Hey even I dont have mobile and rather I should have forwarded my hand for his help...

Wah Hyderabad wah !!! What a rich beggars you possess... Akhir nawabi shaher jo thahera.... :-)

Teri galiyo me na rakhenge kadam......

Teri galiyo me na rakhenge kadam aaj ke baad,
tere milane ko na aayenge sanam , aaj ke baad.....

Hey folks...... Have you ever been to South India? Welcome its really great land to be upon. Have you ever visited Andra Pradesh ??? Its really cleanest state I have ever seen. One more question have you ever come to Hyderabad ? If your answer is yes then also tell me have you ever had food here ???? (I am sure you wont reply 'yes', instead you will say that on that day you decided not to come to Hyderabad again...)

To mere pyare dosto..... my story starts here. Hyderabad is city where 80% of total food is non-veg and chilly.And rest of 20% of veg food contains RICE and only RICE. A few days back on great Sunday I was working in my office as usual and at around noon I started my endless voyage of North Indian (somewhat north indian....:-) ) food. I went 2 km away in a area name Punjagutta circle ,the road starting from which is famous for food restaurants. I searched for half an hour but couldnt find a single place providing me "Roti".

I came back to my office with little disappointment and went to a different direction where I had a food before with intense hope of getting my belly full. I went inside ,smiled and asked "Chappaties available ?"..... In reply ...smile and "no sir"....

At last I HAD TO go to the last remaining street (which only remains from my company location after visiting all previously mentioned roads) which again contains good no of restaurents... but almost all cafes were non-veg.... Among that I found one PURE VEG (and pure south indian) restaurant and you cant imagine my joy.... I asked for a meal... and got a dish full of hot rice and two Subjies. I was waiting for Roties to come but it didnt happen for next some minutes... so my hunger provoked me to start with rice and wait for Roti. But suddenly I observed that there was no one eating Roti there and only rice was available...

I was angry like anything.... As king Muchkund decided to brun out KalYavan with his anger ,I decided to assault on rice. I asked for rice five times of my daily food quantity ...... I ate it with subji, dal ... As I finished my last seed of rice , waiter again came and pour bowl of rice in my dish.. I was not gonaa slip back... I ate them with curd and banana.... still my anger was not satisfied and I again asked for rice and ate with "Rasam"(I had never eaten it before).. Honestly by that time rice was coming out of my mouth.... but again just to indulge my anger, I asked for more rice and ate it dry......

I could hardly stand up and could not ride my bicycle. I didn't eat anything for next two days... and don't ask about digesting system...... I was in bed for one and half day singing above song.....

"Teri galiyo me na rakhenge kadam aaj ke baad......"

Let's embark.....
