Patiala Peg

Yesterday (26^th Aug) was like an end of an era for me... It was just another episode in the drama of my life... For past few months I was running on a track where everyone has actually reached [ ]... But this is not the story I want to tell you at this point of time...

This was a typical august afternoon in Bangalore and drizzling most of the time... It was a beautiful afternoon, just the type that comforts you into sound sleep, without you actually make an effort... I was dropping off into one of these sleeps, when suddenly my cell phones buzzed and woke me up... I realized I had slept only then... It was some local “unknown number” calling...

“Hullo!!!” I said sleepily... [Lady Voice] Am I talking to “Mr. Ratnesh” from PESIT College.....? And then the conversation was such that I remained speechless . . . . . . Before I could say anything the operator (she) at the another end hung up by saying “Thank you Sir”... I was speechless again, when Ashish asked me “Why are you numb...? Everything ok?”... We are going have party tonight... He understood in a flash of second... and we jumped on mattress for another 50 sec... Thanks Ashish for that impulsive sweet HUG... Love u darling!!!

Without waiting for even a sec I called to my parents and to my entire near-dear one... By the same time ashish left a text message to all of our friends... and the message was sth like “Ratnesh miyan ka ho gaya!!!...” For the next two hours I was busy attending call from my friends from INFOSYS ( Ramu, Tanuj, Aditi, Ritesh, Kapil, Pal, Vineet and...) and friends parked in Bangalore( Praphull, Rohit, Ravi, Sahil aka daddy cool, Gaurabh, Saurabh, Akhil, pushpendra, and.. )...I was at cloud number- 9...Oh sorry, how can I miss to mention my Casanova (bhokali) friend here, PREM...? Without caring of rain, he directly came from his office to my room- totally wet... and then a series of gaali as a medium of talk... 

It was 11 O’clock now when we finally arranged all stuff on the floor... Ashish was damn hungry as we skipped today’s dinner... We called Hot-Spot to deliver Chicken tikka masala, kadai chicken & butter chicken... Everything was ready to hit... This was the first time I was going to taste something different kinda drink.. “PATIALA PACK”... Its an appropriate blend of Whisky+Vodka+Soda+Coke... My reaction after the first sip was like HEAVEN... Ummmm, I just love this “Patiala Pack...” Why didn’t I tasted it before, It’s amazing... Every time I was taking a sip and I could feel the whisper of my success with complete unabashed honesty of my hard work and devotion... It’s make you quite incapable of lying...I lit up a cigarette and ghost of smoke-rings appeared out of our nose & mouth...

So now, we three had taken 4 short of it... gradually mind was going out of control and I knew I was gone.. I couldn’t sit, I couldn’t stand properly... All i could do is to hold the bottle and was delivering the dialogues of OM SHANTI OM multiple times( Kitni shiddat se tumhe pane ki koshish ki hai.. Ki har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazish ki hai... Kehte hain agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho to saari kayanath tumhe usse milane ki koshish me lag jaati hai...)

So, gradually the frequencies of shouting on each other ignited a lot... Some interesting arguments... (Ok! I know I’ll be kicked by both of you for putting this too, ha ha)

And this was one of my most awaited & memorable night....

Dance of Smoke

-->

During my final year of Engineering, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the whole issue of Smoking Vs Not Smoking. I couldn’t realise one of the things, why is that I was ragged by my senior for not inhaling cigarette, what makes my HOD to go out of the campus after every break for fagging, why is it that many of my friends approach me to offer one, what so good about that??

I am not sure if anyone had come like this or not but before trying my first cigarette for the first time, I personally like the fragrance of the cigarette stick, (nuts) but its intoxicated.

And then there this friend Puffy, offer me the one and i was smoking but once he said I wasn’t inhaling... I was like ya ya I am taking... and he was right... I wasn’t.. I had been just sucking in my mouth and blowing it out... so I did inhale for the first time and coughed a little and.. I was like F**K!!!... My head was spinning light headed and didn’t like it at all... felt sick so thought I am not good for this... But then I did this for a couple of days just smoking one and then moved to 2 a day and wasn’t feeling light headed as much and then...

When you exhale your breathe, a ghost like smoke come through your mouth.. It’s as good as love... you take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends.. bt when its gone..its gone.. But then the time was such that it forces me to take one or many a times... A week ago, I tried Dunhell and Benson and hedges (B&H) light instead of Marlboro Classic. They’re costlier and fine filter..It also smokes less...I’ve tried gold, brown, white, black filters... black are lightest and green are full flavoured cigarette... and now a days I am trying to learn some tricks to make rings and different way of exhaling.

I know its a “Best bad habbit” and so I don’t want to leave regrets on my lips.... I Quit without getting addicted..

Dev - D

-->DEV-D, it’s a marvel... This is not the first time when I watched this movie... but the difference was that before yesterday I always thought that this movie is a tortured result of badly researched movie, DEVDAS. An absolute Bakwas kind of... Total atyachaar, complete nonsense movies... Show it to Kasab , perfect way to torture him.. such a sadistic movie... I don’t know what the director had in his mind....the whole movie revolves around S** and nothing else... heights of desperation... no emotions nothing... pathetic movie... its only for people with heights of desperation n no feelings.... But then I realised a different perspective of the movie...

Its simply a tale of human perception. Dev the protagonist is an, as much human as you and me with all the human faults... It has also an attempt to portray certain modern realities and lifestyle disorders facing the youth in India today... However, i think the scope seems very very narrow... When you see this movies you will clearly get to understand the difference between love and lust by the character of Chanda (A prostitute).. For we've seen thousands of bollywood movies with true love and virtuous lead hero movies, which never aligned with the reality world.. No doubt this movie was 10 yr ahead of it's times but I feel it’s about time, people should start giving chance to reality than liking same old unrealistic love stories.. I know it will hurt to SRK's fan but its true that this movie is tight slap on SRK's Devdas...
I decided it might not be excellent writing, so I wouldn't expound it, but I came upon a feeling that the Dev-D is the story of a love beyond all else... even life... The saga of a man Dev who loved, loved and just loved paro... and unable to bear the agony of a life without Paro.. which made alcohol and drugs as his constant companion... but his being out of control on drugs and booze.. and as an exchange, hang out with a prostitute(chanda) is the dark most side of the movie.. I personally feel that the break up of any serious long relationship should not come up in exchange of alcohol or prostitute.... life never stops for anybody or anything. .. You got to learn and live everyday...


But then the best part of this movie is it has directly alignment with the real world.... no falatu bakwas... straight forward movie... I did enjoy a few scenes & dialogues though (Paro, main aa raha hun and the bus ticket scene) and especially the hilarious "Emotional atyachaar" song. The scene that I really loved, which spoke a thousand words are the scene when Dev hugs chanda and tells her " Beta its ok...." and the end of the movie was loving!!! Music and background scene would compel to watch the movie the second time... A must watch movie!!!


Kudos to Abhay deol and Anuarag kashyap.

PESIT Hostel

The first thing that will come out of your mouth... Oh My God !! This is incredible. Talibanis and terrorist do exist in India and that too in Bangalore... Ya, a one can expect such kind of comment when the topic is PESIT Hostel.. Believe me or not but you can not beat these rules.. Few famous ones are.

1.Shorts not allowed in the hostel premises.
2.No printed T-shirt allowed
3.Personal internet not allowed
4.Timings for attending phone calls( all before 7 pm)
5.No outing or gate pass after 7:30 pm
6.Had to beg to Setharaman (our sick warden) for every extra minute of outing..even if we had some legitimate work outside(ha ha ha..no but at times I really used to get late due to something important…;))
7.You can not visit others room after 7 pm.
8.Warden can come up just anytime for his usual round in the hostel..to check if eth is fine.
9.No brothers/uncles allowed in the campus
10.You should be PROPERLY DRESSED..no shorts and all..
11.No bike parking near the hostel.
12.You are no body without ID card.
13.There is a fine of 500INR for any kind of breakages.

I came to know all these things in early days of my joining college…and we all fresher(fucchas) were already feeling very miserable as to what kinda shitty place this is… But I/we managed to survive in a hostel full of restrictions. But personally speaking, I broke all these 13 stupid rules and had great fun though...The mission I created "SOL" was nothing but "Spice Of Life"... What all I did there in 4 years & How we enjoyed our life...fought and learnt different things from each other. Love we shared and yes all naughty things which no body cud imagine and I did it. "
PS: "Rules are made to be broken"..hahahah... :)

Paranormal Activities: “Human being has no permanent self”

-->I don’t know how it is going to sound but I always wonder that if we said that our soul is immortal then did it have its life before we born?? Why is it that sometimes I feel that the thing that is happening has already ran through my eyes before?? Why is that I feel that whatever is going on is a result of blue print of the incident on my mind.... I goggled a lot regarding the same... My search showed me loads of thesis and book. Few things which I never knew.. I am sharing with you ppl.

Scientist says, there are three state of mind -Conscious, Subconscious and transient state. Much has been written, and many short accounts of the incidents have been recorded, of the near-death experience. The researcher wrote that “it indicates that there is a continuity of self, that the 'same you' progresses through each of the three life stages - life before life, earth life, and life after death". It is also said that we can get to translate our past by making bridge between our conscious mind and sub conscious mind. That phase of brain is called as transient state and the process to achieve is known as “hypnotising”. But what I concluded is that our soul is nothing but a cloud of electromagnetic energy which can store Pre-birth memories, Experiences, Our character and our likes & dislikes... and I believe that our soul is mobilised with these past memories or incidents which makes me feel that the things are never new for me.
