Whaatttttt an ideaaa

Have you ever thought why these parks came into existence….whose idea it would be to have parks in the cities and towns…
Though these days parks are into discussion for all wrong reasons....I hear people complaining about couples in park…I could hear people saying these young generation have no shame and respect….the shameless way they are found in park…. Logon ko sharam nahee atti …arre park mein bacchee bhi khelneee aatein …but yeh besharm log….grrrr…
Couples says ….this is democracy and everyone has their own way of enjoying things until and unless it doesn’t harm any third person, are we not sensible enough to define our own limits…. …… …let us enjoy being together …one should mind one own business…grrrrr….
Problem what could be the solution, let me put on my thinking cap to solve this problem
I have seen in parks we have a separate kid section..where there different kind of rides, that kids can enjoy but then they have age limit for riding on those rides….Similarly based on the same concept we can have one section dedicated to only couples…..where there would be no stag entry …..(Like the way we have in Disc …) …cool
So this division of parks into different section will make everyone happy (for eg Laal baag West Gate is for families, Laal baagh East Gate is for Couples)… as no complaints from people, and also couples are not worried about that they are being…gazed…Also one more great idea we can have parks with certificates, like U, U/A, A the way we have certificate in movies….that would be great..(for Sanky Tank with U certificate, Laal Baagh with U/A)Last but not least I think we should also a separate section for people like me …who just go to parks to gaze the sky, or to talk to trees or to hear chirping birds…..
And now I m telling myself …”Whhaattt an idea ji……”

Luck By Chance

Distance between my office, and home is around 28Km and covering 28 km in Bangalore traffic takes more than one and half hour...So while commuting I am listen to Radio,
Then for 1 hour in evening I workout in Gym where I am listening to Radio again, and the last one hour before(rather while ) sleeping I am hooked to Radio......so total hours spent listening to Radio is
3(Home to office and office to home) + 1 (workout) +1(before sleeping) = 5 hours...
I listen to radio for 5 hours in a day....and that too all five hours dedicated to one and only one channel..Radio One, as this is the only channel in Bangalore which plays only Hindi music (and English songs late in the night from 12 AM - 1 AM)..So I don’t have much (rather I would say Any) choice when it comes to listening to Radio channel in Bangalore.
Radio One has so many contest running. Every 30 minutes they have some or the other contest where listener either calls them or sends them a SMS with the answer
And I too participate in these contests either by calling or sending sms. But whenever I tried calling to the number..either no one picked up the call or number was engaged....So I always send sms with answer. and to my surprise I never get any response for answer which is always correct (As i have vast knowledge on Hindi Movies and Happening of Bollywood....And I read a lot of bollywood news...)
I really think I am very unlucky...because neither my name is ever announced as a Winner, nor I get a call from any RJ.. poor me...
And later i decided why to waste money in sending sms to relentless radio one..
Many times, I could crack the toughest question (though they rarely ask real tuff question) and I would tempt to SMS them...but then I would hold myself back...because if I sms then, I ll HOPE to be a winner and this HOPE is followed by disappointment.....ahhaa so now i simply listen to radio...without participating in any of their contest.....
and then One Saturday afternoon, when i was relaxing...I got a call from unknown number, I thought another spam call from some bank for credit card, insurance...reluctantly i picked it and to my surprise a call from Radio ONE.....RJ Rashmi called me up ....My My ...and then she asked me whether i m interested to join one Contest where she ll ask me singer's name.....cool man and for that she will call me after 20 minute :)
On same day after 1 hour i had an appointment with my Doctor for my RCT...and getting an doctor's appointment is very difficult these days...I waited for the call eagerly 20 minutes turn into 1 hour ...it was time for me to leave as i had doctor's appointment....and as i was about to leave...I got a call from Rashmi...she gave me three Clues...It went something like this
She: Birth Date of the singer is on 30Sept 1972?
Me:No i cannot make out
SHE:His first Album was Q-Funk?
Me: Is it Neeraj Sreedhar...Wrong Answer
She: Listen to this music Clip ? "Musuu musu haathi duoo mai lei"..
Me: (if felt BINGOOOOOOOO) Answer is Shan ....
So I won the Contest and won myself a Goodie Bag ......yippee ....
She said someone from Radio One will call me and will let me know how to collect it.......So I am waiting for that call to collect my GOOODIE BAGGGGG :)
So moral of the story .Things (not Love) happen when you expect least. Or may be its just Luck by Chance

Believable DevD

movie DevD....I liked the movie...atleast it was real, not flashy and larger than life kinds of other bollywood movie.
I have not seen Dilip Kumar's Devdas, but yes shahrukh Devdas I dint like at all...I found it very artifical and very unreal.It was some kind of irrevlant drama for me and after that movie,i thought its so fake but if it happens in real then what would be presentation which could atleast look somewhat real to us, some characters which we feel are real and do exist.And so here is that DevD for that matter.
I like fiction, but a fiction which i could believe in,not something that I can not believe at all and while watching it all the time i have a feeling like its all fake and this is failure of fiction

In case of DevD i could beleive each and every scene,nothing seems to unreal. Moreover the kind of person DEV is I have seen many ppl like him....on road of destruction ...cos they dont even know what they want...just a confusion about something(something could be love, work, dreams, passions, life, moto anything)...in this case it was Love/relationship....so somewhere i could relate to Dev.
There were some scenes which i really like...were:

When Dev's Dad, tells him, that he wanted Paro to be his daughter in law, but then Dev have spoiled his taste in London, neither he has taste in Drink he drink Vodka, instead of whiskey, nor he has taste in women, "acchi khaasi ladkiya chod kar kahan Bamboo k peeche bhaagtey hai "....how true these days guys run after bamboo kinds of girls :D

Scene 2: When Paro meets Dev in his hotel room, it was such an amazing scene. This reminded of Hum Dil de chuke Sanam, the end Scene when Salman khan huggs Aish, and says, 'Tum meri nandani nahee hu' the only difference is, here the scene was so well that it didnt need any dialogue (scene itself shows that). Though Paro had feelings for DEV, yet she was not the old Paro.
The end of the movie was perfect, the way i want it. :)
