it doesnt come with age or money....

Self respect doesn’t come with age or money…not that I thought it did… the other day I got together with friends…u know how it is with them, even if u meet them after months there is a comfort level that cant be established with JUST ABOUT ANYONE. So anyways a drive to the India gate for chuski (it is supposedly very famous) was all we were looking forward to. Remembering the old days which will NEVER come back and catching up we ordered the chuski…(for those who arnt chuski lovers…at India gate u see lines of cars and this guy shouting at the top of his lungs….CHUSKI CHUSKI…TASTI CHUSKI…COME ….) English with a typical hindi accent…anyways just when we started having the delicious but messy chuski a young boy around 10 year old came to our car to sell sculptures…we weren’t interested and just thanked him but he was just had to show us all the variety. He said ‘ aap budha lew lijiye…ye bahut lucky hota hai, nahi to budha family…nahi to boat le lijiye…ye bhi bahut lucky hai’ he kept taking these sculptures out of his shirt…and all I said was ‘hume nahi chahiye, aap ye bechne ki jagah padte kyu nahi ?’ his reply to this was ‘me din me school jata hu aur raat ko ye bechta hu, aap le lo bahut lucky hai, mere paas bahut variety hai’ if it was otherwise I woun’t have given it a thought but his hard work and sincerity made him ask him to join us for a chuski, all he said was ‘me aise kisi se koi cheez nahi leta, me aapko aaapke liye kam price laga dunga lekin aise kuch nahi lunga’ …its been a week this incident happened but I still havnt forgotten THOSE words…and I NEVER WILL…

ROYALTY...would you like to be treated like one???

I was just going through the royal way of living, specially their rooms and all that and I enjoyed looking at the antique and RICH furniture/articles so much that I myself started wondering how it would have been to stay in a palace with soooo many rooms and all the heavy velvet curtains and NO PRIVACY. Or to put it in a more polite way I say someone at your call always. I mean I would love to have such a fancy bed with the extra Special bedding and deep colours (which bore you real fast...(I guess that’s why they had many rooms, 1 se bore ho to dure me chale jao) anyways so instead of the real fan (I mean the one mankind created thanks to electricity) you have someone fanning you with the soft and large and beautiful feather fans. (I mean I would probably die of heat coz I would hate seeing the other person getting tired of fanning me…it is heavy you know). I like antique jewelry and furniture and all that but I really don’t think that I can survive in the ROYAL atmosphere for more than a week. I would love to be pampered but not at the cost of loosing the life I have…and I would hate having far off rooms. I mean in that case out of lazyness I just wont go nand see my parents…k now I guess my thoughts are going places so I better stop here…before I enter the dream land againg…but im quite sure that almost all of us have a weird thought process at times…don’t you???

By the way…Just imagine me writing a blog with the vintage pen(the feather one)….ahhh NO SPELL CHECK…I m sure NO ONE would read my blogs coz half the spelling would be wrong ;)… and the ink would spill all over(that is one thing im capable of doing)…

WOULD WE FORGIVE HIM IF HE WASN'T A STAR???

Now that sanjay dutt has been sentenced to six years imprisonment, the media surely has got lots to write about. I mean breaking news another topic for discussion. Infact even radio channels are having caller programes and asking people HOW DO U FEEL ABOUT THE WHOLE….DO U THINK JUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE TO HIM….I mean…please …and how can I just blame the media for creating hype, there are many callers who are crying, not eating coz their munnabhai has been awarded a sentence…I mean I can almost bet that if he was set free these same people would come out complaining that ‘HE HAS BEEN SET FREE COZ HE IS A STAR, HE HAS MONEY AND POWER. ITS JUST THE POOR WHO HAVE TO SUFFER AND ALL THAT’ …I wonder how the PUBLIC would be satisfied and why care for their satisfaction. They WILL TALK whatever happens, they will give their views…and the have full freedom to do so…but does their view really matter…I mean would it cut down on a MISTAKE sanjay did years ago…more than a 100 crore are riding on the actor… filmmakers are ready to freeze their projects to show regards towards dutt… and a legend like dilip kumar has filed an affidavit endorsing dutt’s character and if that wasn’t all bets were being put before the sentence was announced as to what the final verdict would be…I mean where would all this lead…I agree he has suffered enough but would we still be in favour of freeing him if he was just a citizen (and not a star)…I like his films too and I am not against him…infact, I too felt bad but we cant just let such MISTAKES be repeated and we cant just forget what happened…can we???

HEELS ON THE FIELD`

We got to start shooting for our comic strips and we still haven’t arranged the costumes so today when I like a fool decided to wear high heals did we decide to go shopping, visit a few designers and stylists. Get our idea through their creative heads and get them to make it soon. And by the way the weather will be nice otherwise, maybe rain a little and be little pleasant but today that we had to go out and desperately needed a good weather how can god be nice to us. So anyways went to this designer at shahpur jat and it was three of, two girls including me (rohit, anannya and me)and the minute we entered, (firstly it was heaven thanks to the ac) we started looking at his collection dying to ask the price( obviously we dint INITIALLY, and good we dint coz whats the use) so anyways we got to a little work checked out his collection, made a few sketches ourselves to give an exact picture of what we are looking for, try out a few things and finally when we have given the measurements, decided on the style and material so we thought we must ask what the whole thing would cost us….and thank god we did coz it just wasn’t fitting in our budget and that too just the stitching cost, the material would cost us another 2000 bucks and then we count ignore the accessories whose cost we hadn’t calculated yet. So now we have got a designers ideas and ours and so we might just get the costume done by a normal tailor who has normal charges…so anyways we move out in the killing heat thinking what to do and that is exactly when miss anaannya’s stomach tells her how hungry we are and how we must forget about everything but how to get something in our tummies and it wasn’t a bad thought since we were already past our lunch hour so we found a mc Donalds closeby( thank god they have a quick service and have a branch almost everywhere ) and trust me were we hungry or what….within like 5 mins of getting our meal we were done…and then started off again, but trust me by that time we my feat were killing me specially since im just up from viral, not got enough time to recover and here I go again. But finally even though the costumes isn’t ready we got a fair idea about were to arrange it from and a plan made out so we head back to office and that’s when I finally got to remove those high (killing) heals and ahhhh (u need to see how red my feet are thanks to the long walks) well one thing I surely learnt is next time we go for shoot shopping, im gonna be in a pair of sports shoes…..

LIFE....

So I host live shows and that’s how I came across a young girl at an event…k I dint know how young she was then…anyways I meet this sweet girl who is getting married and all excited about it…so while talking to her I found out that she is 20…(a year younger than me) and so is her fiancé and both of them are in second year of college…k so the first shock hit me then…(k I wasn’t exactly shocked but surprised for sure) and they got engaged just 15 days back…so they know each other for 20 odd days (here came the second one) the guy does NOTHING…he has a family business and all that but as of now…he does nothing…(third one)… so k I asked her if she was forced into it and she said no…she was mentally prepared and has no issues…(btw she belongs to an educated rich family…or shud I say baniya family) seeing the shock on my face all she said was im from a baniya family so its like this in our families…so anyways if she has no probs then its cool…but then the next thing which came up was that she will discontinue her studies…I mean its k if u wanna get married young and all that but u are not being allowed to complete ur graduation…hello I mean in which century are u living…and even if her in-laws dint allow her, atleast the guy should have…I mean he is the so called modern guy so why cunt he try and convince his family to let her complete her studies specially since he plans to complete his graduation…n btw she does want to complete her course but all she said was at least they are letting me wear jeans…I mean hello…wearing jeans…studying further or being independent…arnt they DIFFERENT… well all I can wish for her is that she stays happy with the kind of life she has chosen for herself and sometime in life does complete her education…but then again who am I to write so much about someone I hardly know…specially since I don’t know what my future holds for me…..

A TRUE SUNDAY

K so yesterday after ages I spent a real Sunday which wasn’t planned….as most of the Sundays I was doing an event in the evening, a few meetings in the first half were also lined up. And not just that since it was my only off day from office I had an appointment with the hairdresser in the morning. So that meant I had to wake up early on a Sunday which I did and just before going for a shower I got a call saying the show has been cancelled. So I dint know whether to be happy or upset so at that time I got upset coz I had planned my day accordingly. And had cancelled other plans for the event. So I got a little angry with the agency. Showed a little attitude and told them I would charge for last minute cancellation which I would. And then later got angrier coz I had to reschedule everything. And then the lazy me got over the angry me so canceled most of my meeting postponed a few and tried sleeping. I mean I never had to try sleeping but since I have started working I just cant seem to sleep during the day. Something just dint seem right so after half an hour of trying I got up and saw some tv ordered a pizza, fought with my sister for no apparent reason but since there was not much to do, that seemed to be the best pastime ;)….and btw the tv that I watched was like after weeks…ya …and then did some packing for a trip and organized a few pending accounts and stuff like that and then finally went to the hairdresser and came back all smiles coz I love my new haircut…so that was truly a Sunday spent, now I am waiting for another such lazy day but don’t think I would value it too much if I get it to often, isn’t it??? One shunt be too greedy:)
