Pot pourri

arz kiya hain

khirki se dekha to sarak par koi nahin tha
khirki se dekha to sarak par koi nahin dekha
sarak par jakar dekha to khirki par koi nahin tha

khudi ko kar buland itna
khudi ko kar buland itna
ki khuda bande se pooche
bata kaunse gym jaata hain?

Simplicity is the one of the most complex things to understand nowadays

Guys with average intelligence,average looks, average education, average persona,average alertness & average sapience can still get rich
provided they marry the only daughter of a millionare.

when u put ur foot in someone's shoe, make sure that his feet is out of it.
In case u put both ur feet in someone's shoe, run as fast as u can before the person realises where are his shoes.



PS : this post will not make any sense to you .Reading it by you is purly coincidental and will have relation to me if I am found dead(read "killed by you")

Lagey Raho munna bhai


To say the least, movie with a string of social messages encapsulated in class jokes.(basically an object oriented movie)
The movie is a sequel of Munnabhai MBBS and as in the prequel begins with a hilarious kidnapping . The movie revolves around Munna bhai(sanjay dutt) who is a underworld kingpin of mumbai and is known for kidnapping/getting disputed properties cleared etc. and he is in love with a Radio Jockey(balan) .To meet her he cheats a competition and gets a chance to meet her live in her program. On enquiring about his profession, he lies that he is a professor and thus start the fun. In the typical mumbaiya ishtyle, he is tells about gandhiji's theories and ideas. He is invited to RJ's house to give a lecture to her dad and her dad's friends which he gladly agrees. He studies about gandhiji for about 3 days continuously and by fourth day he starts seeing gandhiji infront of him. He is able to talk to him,see him & seek his advice on various topics.The fun multiplies when he starts giving Gandhiji's advice to people who are in trouble.For ex, he tells a guy to smile at the person when he spits paan on his door and clean in front of him, he tells a retiered teacher to remove all his clothes in front of the officer who had been asking for bribe to hand him his pension and so on ... The movie has a hilarious character circuit(arshad warsi) who is simply amazing . The movie is full of jokes and situational comedy but it also has a message for each one of us. It makes us remember the true values of Gandhiji which are there only in texts . It sends a signal that Gandhiji's values and philosphy can still do wonders . The music is not very popular but is good to hear . The direction,script and screenplay are great and you don't think outside the movie even once while sitting in the theatre.

In all a must watch family movie

chal mamu bole to apun ab kalti marta hain

Hobby and retierment

Humans grow, go to school , then to college, the illiterate ones for still higher education and finally they land up at some place which is like a cage, which has 3 1/2 walls enclosed,has an opening to enter but no way to exit,which claims that it develops you in more than dimension and that the more you are inside, the higher you will go . Yeah, it is also called as office cubicle by some people. For next 25-35 years we spend our time in these enclosures until we are old enough to do any good to our company and this is the time we are tagged as retiered and we are signedoff. We will be given the tag of "Retiered" . This is the time in our life when we ourselves after all the years of working that " we are no good to anyone anymomre" Add to it the age factor and the reduced ability to risk/try out new ventures. This all compound and graduallys we will lose faith in ourselves our strengths , our USPs . The orotund performance of yester years will seem like a dream , something that ne'er happened.

The one of the challenge before republic of India is "How to utilise this vast pool of talented and experience People ?"
Right now the retiered people constitute some 7% of total population. But in another 10 years this figure is expected to touch 14%.This is huge number and also an business oppurtunity with vast potential. If we are able to tap this great source to contribute to the Indian GDP, we will be



1) using the prodigious experience of these learned people which they had gained after all the years of working.


2) able to develop products which will be more sophisticated and error tolerant using the dextrity of these guys.


3) instilling a feeling of importance & contribution in them.



But the obvious question that arises is "how can we use experience of these people which is so varied to everone's benefit?"
One filed I can think f right away where these experienced people be employed is Teaching . These can be used to provide case studies from there working lives to teach future professionals what all should be expected by them in working environment and how to tackle situations that may arise.
Infact, the more I think about this idea, the more facinated I become. The Knowledge bank that can be generated will be one of valuable possession for the entire mankind.

But for those who are not getting retiered so soon, it will be a better idea to develop a hobby. Working on something for not earning a livelihood but still being passionate is one of the toughest thing to do but it is worth doing it. For you need to know something to work upon once you retire . It could be teaching , gardening, socialising, working for some NGO / social cause . The list is endless but the message is " Cultivate something in you which you can reap after you retire." Even if you have a handsome amount of money and you need not work for rest of your life, you still need to keep yourself occupied to keep your body ,sould and mind healthy and smart. And this is one of the easiest way to be so.
