Engineer ANKIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-05-15T07:16:00.002+05:30

hi MISS BLOG,

I mean i always felt that "I would never be those nostalgic type of guys.....!!!" ...but can't help it........after four years of hardwork put in,,,the innumerous nightouts....the playful time among friends,,,the tensions and stress of maintaing CGPA....getting a job,,,securing good marks in the competitive exams.....and the times of confusions about the future ,,,, not sure of where to go or not.............

atlast has cumulated with the words.... "ENGINEER Ankit Jain" ...i mean it does matter hugely to me ,,and more important securing it with good enough grades,,,i mean i have no regrets......and thats makes me proud of whatever i have achieved...>!!!

just returned back after a night out with a friend .....who is returning back to his home town finally today morning.........will miss those carefree moments with him and the time we enjoyed with the gang together.......>!!

life ahead as they all say will now be more serious and more scrupulous .....i mean when i say life would be serious ...,,it indirectly leads to me getting more serious about it......!!

with the vacation time before me joining any job,,its very important i get more efficient and productive.....!!!!!

thinking seriously on starting a full fledged productivity and fitness blog.,, i mean concerning more about my progress on these issues....>!!!

Anywayz need to get a short sleep,,,,
Er. Ankit. ,,,should i dare to introduce myself that way//...?

hi Miss Blog,

It is high time i post a blog,,,(for i guess with the superb memory that i have inherited,a few more days would be enough to erase off the password i had set for my Miss bloggy,)

the reason's possible for cutting off from the blogworld:

1. last semester of engineering, enjoying every bit of it.

2. was deadly busy with my project

3. i had no time to invest on the blog

4. didn't spend much time on the online world(internet)

out of the above four except the first one nothing holds true.

actually to sum up the last 2 months, i had the most free time i ever had in my engineering studies,

SO WHAT KEPT ME OFF FROM MY MISS BLOGGY?

well writers block would never the case with me, certainly not when i blog only about myself and my mundane life....!!!

actually have become really lazy,,,,, lazy to read any book ,,,lazy to read the editorials,,,,,don't feel the urge to do it,,,,,so wouldn't force myself to do it.....!!!!

though feeling the urge to do it now,,,,,i mean to read some good stuff,,,,some intelligent stuff,,,apart from the rakhi sawant and all the crap hindi channels that i watch,,,by hindi channels i mean the new s channel....

so the last line speaks about the mental level i am in right now....!!!!

don't know why ,,, but feeling the urge to write in a new blog,,,,,,i mean with some different url address to start afresh, though there is no reason whatsoever , lets see...!!!!

will blog, about my recent trip to goa,,,,,,,my kundli....yeh mom got made one for me,,,,.....!!!!

listening to:-

1. afterglow by inxs

2. pyar to hona hi hai by pakistani band surror , taken in the movie SUNDAY

not reading much though solving quite a bit of SUDOKU

movies:-

1. SUNDAY :- enjoyed it thoroughly

2. RACE:- enjoyed it

3.BLACK & WHITE:- shit.

4. CHILDREN OF HEAVEN :- one of the better film i have seen.

5. THE KITE RUNNER:- well made film, obviously not as deep as the book, even then good screenplay.

6. forgot the title ;- very interesting movie among the best 100 listed in imdb,

attended a concert by

Arvind Parikh - sitar player student of VILAYAT KHAN

Purvi Parikh :- vocalist , enjoyed them.

JASHN E BAHAARA

2008-02-28T23:20:00.003+05:30

(beauty personified>......fullstop)

hi MISS Blog,

not blogging much lately,,,,,,,,,last sem of engineering ........enjoying it.....

JASHN E BAHAARA....

take my bow RAHMAN........have been listening it everywhere.......bathroom,,while sleeping,,driving,,,,,while chatting with someone(in sub conscious mind),,,,trying to grasps its lyrics........

and lately,,,have started singing this song,,,,,at even a smalll chance.......front of friends,,,mom,,,....,,,,,(,their reaction..... you did a great job,,,,,in raping the song...!!)

here goes the celestial lyrics:-

Jashn e bahara

Kehne ko jashn e bahara hain
(To say its like a celebration of Spring)
Ishq yeh dekh ke hairaan hai
(Love is amazed to see this all)

Phool se khushboo khafa khafa hain gulshan mein
(The flower is annoyed with its fragrance in the garden)
Chupa hain koi ranjh fiza ki chilman mein
(There is an unseen grief behind the veil of the surroundings)
Saare sehmay nazaare hain soye soye waqt ke dhaare hain
(The scene around is filled with silence, Time drifts into a slumber/sleep)
Aur dil mein khoyi khoyi si baatein hain
(Some lost thoughts remain in the heart)

Kehne ko jashn e bahara hain
(To say its like a celebration of Spring)
Ishq yeh dekh ke hairaan hai
( Love is amazed to see this all)
Phool se khushboo khafa khafa hain gulshan mein
(The flower is annoyed with its fragrance in the garden)
Chupa hain koi ranjh fiza ki chilman mein
(There is an unseen conflict behind the veil of the surroundings)

Verse 1
Kaise kahein kya hain sitam
(How would one say whats the pain)
Sochte hain ab yeh hum Koi kaise kahe who hain ya nahi humare?
(I keep thinking about it now, that how would I know If she belongs to me or not?)
Karte to hai saath safar faasle hain fir bhi magar
(Though we journey together, yet there are some distances in between us)
Jaise milte nahi kisi dariya ke do kinare
(Just like how two banks of the river never meet)
Paas hai phir bhi paas nahi, Humko yeh ghum raas nahi
(We are so close yet so far, I cannot accept this despair at all)
Sheeshe ki ek deewar hai jaise darmiyaan
(Its like a wall of glass that divides us in between)

Saare sehmay nazaare hain soye soye waqt ke dhaare hain
(The scene around is filled with silence, Time drifts into a slumber/sleep)

Aur dil mein khoyi khoyi si baatein hain
(Some lost thoughts remain in the heart)

Verse 2
Humne jo tha nagma suna, dil ne tha usko chuna
(The song that I had heard was chosen straight from the heart)
Yeh daastan hume waqt ne kaisi sunayee
(But time hummed a different tale for us)
Hum jo agar hai ghumgeen, who bhi udhar khush to nahi
(If I am sad in here, she is not at all happy there)
Mulaqato mein hai jaisi ghul si gayee tanhayee
(Loneliness has filled up our meeting)
Milke bhi hum milte nahi, Khilke bhi gul khilte nahi
(We meet but we don’t unite, The flowers bloom but they don’t blossom)
Aankho me hain bahaarey, dil mein Khiza.
((My eyes envision Spring, but my heart senses the Autumn)

Saare sehmay nazaare hain soye soye waqt ke dhaare hain
(The scene around is filled with silence, Time drifts into a slumber/sleep)
Aur dil mein khoyi khoyi si baatein hain
(Some lost thoughts remain in the heart)

just saw "WHEN HARRY MET SALLY".......ALA HUM TUM's english version....enjoyed it....!!!!

2008-01-18T00:49:00.000+05:30

so many questions..??????

had i been a good brother....???

perhaps no....perhaps yes......nah......don't know..???/,,

there were times when i just abhored my sis......times we went days without talking to each other....even vowed never to talk to each other.....promised each other we will not see each other's face.....can't remeber a single day without a fight with her...!!

the times when she went shopping for me ,,,,there itself i started shouting at her costly choices even though it were for me,,,,,,times when she bought expensive jeans for me,,,,,,

times when she would say "i feel dejected seeing your preferences,,Ankit.....get some class yaar....!!!"
times when she filled the engineering competition exam forms for me,,,,times when she bought for me costly rahman cd's,,,,watches,,,,, even jockeys,,,,,,she made my resume,,,my resume file......times when i banked on her suggestions for even the minutest thing......,,,,,!!!!!!!

i clearly remember the day when she dropped me at my science board examination center alongwith my mom.....and seeing me going to give a crucial exam,,seeing me tensed.....she started crying for me,,,,,times when she bought food for me during the interval of the AIEEE exam......and i started shouting..."why the hell was this needed for,,,,i am not a kid now.....!!!",

she had even filled my counselling forms.....she booked tickets for me standing at the ladies counter for railway reservations........!!!!!!......

i never thought i would feel this way.......i am missing her,,,,,not missing her,,,,actually tensed for her new life.....maybe tensed for i had been not good enough to her.,,,,.........don't know.....hey bhagwan........can't believe i would go thr' these wave of emotions..........don't know why........feel that i could have been a much much better brother.......I LOVE HER......love her like anything........may God bless you my sis.......blessed to have a sis like you.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

listening to :- piya haji ali.....>!!!!!!

Sissy Sis....!!!!

2008-01-12T23:04:00.000+05:30

hi MISS blog,,,

i guess,,,,my miss bloggy this time deserves something more elaborate than the usaul coined line "blogging after a long time"......certainly a full detailed explanation of me blogging after such a long time is a must.....!!!

IT WAS MY SISSY SIS's MARRIAGE.......her surname got changed on the
4th of Jan 2008 Friday......and by everyone's blessing the marriage went off smoothly....as a old enough younger brother of her's and a mature enough son of my dad.....was engrossed in organising the "THE BIG FAT INDIAN WEDDING".........And let me tell you one thing,,,,,arranging a marriage is really very very demanding......especially if you a 'KIDA'(bug) of checking everything personally....i was really bad at delegation..... !!!

though at the end i would just like to conclude:-

"there is nothing bigger than seeing your sis getting married,,,,,the only thing in my mind was checking everything was just perfect.........but i guess,,,,,,i don't think nothing in my life would be more important than my sister's marriage......and am really happy that i tried my best under my capacity.....!!!!!"

here are few pics :-

1. here is where the engagement and sangeet sandhya took place......the stage was co-designed by your's truly "ankit....!"

(the pic has been removed by the author)

2. God bless them...>!!!!!...pray for their well being.....nazar nahin lag jaye kisiki,,,,,...!!!!

(the pic has been removed by the author)

more shaadi pics later.....they have gone on their honeymoon trip...sis just called ,,,that she is enjoying a lot....!!!!!....may they have a happy life together...'Amin'........love them more than myself.....missing the fights with her........!!!

piss(ed) off....!

2007-11-20T21:47:00.000+05:30

hi MISS BLOG,,,

i need to study,,,,i need to study frigging hard,,,,,i am bored of saying this stuff again and again,,,,,but saala life around me creates circumstances where it unintentionally comes out of my mouth.....!!!!!!!!

anywayz I AM pissed of something,,,,,,,,,,and if you think i am typing these words,,,,,,,TYPING...you are mistaken....bloody i am banging really hard on my sane bechara keyboard,,,,i guess i pity my keyboard,,,,,i mean it cannot even emote the atrocities its facing by my fingers............i guess these keyboards and mouse should be inbuilt with some mechanisms where it 'say ' starts giving shock(eh...electricity current ...) waves to its users when it is being mishandled,,,the perfect example of it being now....i mean the way i am using my keys....>!!!!!!!!!!!

i am sure,,i am making a big nonsense of myself,,,,and making it more limpid by writing piquing stuff.,,,,,,,,,and using these annoying extended comma's........wish it used to cost ,,,,,,,i mean using the punctuation marks on the blogger,,,,maybe i would have been more provident in using them.......!!!!!

before you all and even i go awry,,,let me kibosh this nonplussing stuff,,,,,,and get myself to normal........whooooaaaa.....i have broken into a smile now........hope everything is okay with my FACULTIES,,,ehh my mental health....>!!!

so all you beautiful guyz and gals out there,,,,,,,,,,wish me best luck for my exams,,,and hope that i stop using the stupid phrase ,,,i had started the blog with,,,and pray for the comma key of my keyboard,,,hope it survives my onslaught..,,hope it doesn't go to the (in)human rights commission....i am getting back to normal....will blog back after getting out of this buffonery state of my mind......and write something more trite,,and hackneyed.....!!!!

(added sometime later)
update:- watching the viDEO of JAANIYE,,,,,,from the film dus kahaaniyan.......can anyone show me the address of the gym where such beautiful girls can be viewed..........!!!

i am the epitome of being prurient...!!!

GRE AND BHELPURI....!!

2007-11-14T23:02:00.000+05:30

hi MISS BLOG,,

blogging after a long hiatus.....anywayz delving into the mundane straightaway :-

1. LIFE IS BHELPURI:-

no haven't seen the film life is beautiful ,,,,,,the title just sprang up in my mind for just had a plate of bhelpuri,,,,,,and was thinking of life ahead,,,my all time favourite contemplative topic...>!!!

actually am passing through a beautiful and at the same time a very strange mode of life....!!!!
at the same time right now experiencing the best moments, the not so best moments of life.....i mean i am at a stage where i always wanted to be once...yet feel a bit of uneasiness,,,,,,,,anywayz am sure MERA DOST JO UPAR PARIYOON KE SAATH AISH KAR RAHAN HAIN.......SAB THIK RAKHEGA,,,i mean not only for me ,,,for each and everyone......(the philanthropist i am......)!!!

btw gave my GRE....got a pathethic score of 1210.......!!! anyone looking for some suggestions on HOW NOT TO PREPARE for GRE ,,,here it goes :-

1. VERBAL:- carries 800 marks,,out of 1600

a> learn the wordlists of barrons.......while learning NEVER think of trite stuff like ,,,
whether i will be using these words,,??,,,
whether the americans use them..??
your mind will throw at you all these stupid questions....intead cram all those words...there is no other way...>!!!

b.> practice from books like norman lewis,,,,,and other quizzes based on vocabs ,,it does help...>!!!!

2. REACH YOUR CENTER ATLEAST 1 HOUR BEFORE THE SCHEDULED EXAM :-i reached just about 15 minutes before...all the formalities in the center before the exam ,,,(checking the passport,,etc..) does take time !!

3. PRACTICE ATLEAST 5 FULL LENGTH MOCK TESTS.....i gave only sectional mock tests,,,,thereby sitting for the whole 4 HOURS during the exam,,,may perturb you!!!

4. MATHS :- a cake walk....even i scored almost full.....!!!!

ab na jaaa....revisited....!!!!

2007-10-09T01:28:00.000+05:30

hi MISS BLOG,,,,

1. AB NA JAA:-

well,,, there are certain things in life on which i do not have any control,,,,andsome of those things are getting up till late , and hearing music on my headphones....!!!!

and the combination of both of themmmmm.....is one just out of too much to control......atleast for me....!!!!

and another thing that i can be added to this uncontrollable stufff of my mind is

sitting in front of the comp like a owl in the night+ listening to music of EUPHORIA' s AB NA JAA ===== ME GETTING DEADLY ROMANTIC......!!!!

i guesss its high time that i unabashedly accept it...!!!

especially this song of PALASH SEN .......ab na jaa.....!!!! i really feel that this song has perhaps the power even to make hitler get romantic !!!

and btw romantic in the night doesnt mean.....wo wallah romantic generally felt by MR. shakti kapoor and the gulshan grovers in their numerous films......!!!

but its woh wallah romantic.....in which you don't need to feel the touch of your special one.....but you rather yearn for her presence......and maybe just keep gorging over her.....!!!!

Maybe hold her by her hands and break into a sudden dance.....!!!......and end up smiling looking at her.....!!!!!

yuck........... really peevish.......my fantasizing really sucks,,,,but as i said ,,can't help it........this song makes my head go all in a zany stage....!!!

here goes the lyrics :-

Aankhen band kar loo jo mein

dekhu bas tumhe

khwabo mein hi keh sakta hoon

apna tumhe

rehne de mera yeh vehm pe hi yakeen

naa ja abhi

pyar ki yeh raat hain

ab na jaa

chotti si ek baat hain

ab na jaa

tumhhi se hain meri neende

naa bhi ho to kya

tumhi see hain meri battein

naa bhi ho to kya

kehne do taaro ko kahani ankahi

na jaa abhi

pyar ki yeh raat hain

ab na jaa

chotti si ek baat hain

ab na jaa

pal do pal ka saath hain

ab na jaa

jadoo si yeh raat hain

ab na jaa

maathe pe pyar ki boonde

bikhre se kai sawal

aankhon mein kitne mausam

pal mein beete kitne saal

rehne de jahan bhi le jaaye zindagi

na jaa abhi

pyar ki yeh raat hain

ab na jaa

chotti si ek baat hain

ab na jaa

pal do pal ka saath hain

ab na jaa

jadoo si yeh raat hain

ab na jaa

closing the player.....and getting to sleep ,,,cya.....good night MISS BLOG,,,,,!!....!!!!!

VIDEO POSTED.....AB NA JAA......mesmerizing,,,,, perfect video for a superb song......have a look at it....!!!!...!!!

movies , musiq and masti .......!!

2007-10-03T00:27:00.000+05:30

hi MISS BLOG,,,

YET another 'night blog' ,,,,,,,, eh......maybe ' late blog',,,,,or 'sleepy blog'......i guess,,,,,you must have got an idea of what i mean to say..........."that i am in a nocturnal state".....!!!!!!

actually feeling very yappy....in an elated mood.....!!!

why??....

to keep it short and not wasting time on any gaudy and tawdry talks,,,,,

1.>>>MOVIES:-
after a long search atlast got my hands on the VCD of a film i wanted to see eagerly,, THE GUIDE (starring dev anand , 1965 released..)...wanted to see the film after reading the nov on which the film is based THE GUIDE BY RK NARAYAN .......mainly for two reasons:-

1. the novel , i thought was a little ahead of time,,,,, philandering wife,,,,in 1960's...live in relationship.....in 1960's......multi layered feminine protagonist,,......and the complex and multi faceted role of RAJU the guide(played by dev anand),,,,just read these dialogues written in 1965....

" Raju : Mujhse Byah Karogi ( Will you marry me .)

Rosy : Hanh, Tumhare Liye Mein Apna Pesha Chhod Doongi ( Yes, I shall leave my career for you )

Raju : Iski Naubat Nahin Aayegi, Isme Hum Dono Ki Mehnat Hai ( No need to do that, Both of us have worked hard for it )

Rosy : Aur Shaadi Ke Baad Jab Bacche Ho Jayenge To ( What about children )

Raju : Zaroori To Nahin Ke Shaadi Ke Baad Bacche Ho Jaye ( No need to have children right away )

Rosy : Zaroori To Nahin Ke Shaadi Ho Jaye ( No need to get married, is there ?). "

in fact ROSY......the name itself strikes a cord.....!!!!

to give a short review of this film :-

1. DEV ANAND :- played the lead role of the novel.....is also the producer of the film....!!!!

yes he is the same person who is usaully the center of tons of spoofs and caricatures ,,,,,infact its his first film that i am seeing....!!!

now to describe or rate him as actor :- TOP NOTCH, FANTABULOUS.....he truly as all say has epitomized the role of GUIDE......!!!

he has convincingly enacted the role,,,which required him to go through phases such as cunning and witty GUIDE,,,,confused man,,,a good friend,,,,,a steely determined guy,,,,a lost man,,and atlast a pensive SWAMI.....!!!

2. WAHEEDA RAHMAN:-

yeh had heard it loads of time of her dancing prowess,,,,her natural beauty by my mom, and grand ma.....and after watching the film....i am also convinced about it.!!!

infact she had the most difficult role to play.........and after watching her acting skills combined with the directorial efforts of VIJAY ANAND.....i can only say....that they both have infact given a more logical drama to her character than what i had concieved after reading the novel......kudos to them...!!!

her conflicts with her impotent husband MARCO (played by kishore sahu).....was just brilliantly scripted.....and not at any point over the top...>!!!

3. SONGS:-

MUSIC IS GIVEN BY SD BURMAN>>>
LYRICS BY SHAILENDRA

A.>AAJ PHIR JEENA KI TAMANNA HAI-Lata Mangeshkar(today i want to start living my life again)

”Dar Hai Safar Me Kahin Kho Na Jaoon; Raasta Naya,”

(Meaning: I am scared that I’ll get lost in this road of happiness, because I have never traveled on it before)

Aone lyrics by shailendra.....

beautifully choreographed song,,,,,,,i mean its truly legendary....!!!

B>Gaata Rahe Mera Dil - Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar

one of my fav. romantic songs.....the lyrics is just awesome.....innocent,,pristine...!!!

’’Pyar karne Vale, Are Pyar Hi Karenge
Jalne Wale Chahe Jal Jal Marenge’’

highly romantic song...!!!

C>Piya Tose Naina Laage Re - Lata Mangeshkar

’’Piya Tose Naina Laage Re
Naina Laage Re
Jaane Kya Ho
Ab Aage Re’’

this song just proves why is LATA ji known to be legendary......

the song is sung by a women imagining her lover and also confeessing her love for him..>!!!

d>Dhin Dhal Jaaye Haaye – Mohd. Rafi

just read one line of the lyrics :--

“Tum Mujhse Main Dil Se Pareshaan,”
(Meaning: You are tired of me. I am tired of my heart)

sung by a lonely lost lover.....striking...!!!

"the film does exceedingly well in adapting to the original novel,,,though at times does better i bringing the emotions to its viewers ,,,full marks to the scriptwriter(i guess its written by RK NARAYAN himself...), and the director..VIJAY ANAND....especiallydirecting the scenes where raju acts as the swami..!!!."

my suggestion:- reading the novel first would be preferred anytime,,,,though seeing the film without reading the book would suffice......but will be felt sluggishly slow at times (has a length of around 3 hrs....!!!)!!!

(thankful to the song reviews elsewhere from where i got the lyrics....!!!)

2.> HAD MET MY FRIENDS OF THE DAYS WHEN I WAS PREPARING FOR ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS.......they had come to ahmedabad and then to my place at surat......had a rollicking time ,,,remembering those days of fighting out with books day in and out....!!!

had a great time....it started from where we had left.....the best thing.......photos will be posted later...!!!

3.> reading :- THE GOD FATHER by mario puzo........enjoying it....!!!!

4.> LISTENING TO GREAT MUSIC NOW:-

A>. ROZANA :- nishabd
sung by AMITABH BACHHAN...music by VISHAL...looking forward to his next release NO SMOKING...!!!

B> JUNOON :- ABHIJEET SAWANT///

still can't believe that he has sung this senseful song....!!!

c.> WISEMAN :- JAMES BLUNT

it has been set as my message alert tone....like how the song starts....!!!

PARYUSHAN

2007-09-26T23:32:00.000+05:30

hi MISS BLOG,

plethora of stuff going in my prevalent mind , anyways before it proliferates more , let me shed some of my colloquial and plebian stuff out here,,,,,

1. MICCHAAMI DUKADAM

the tongue twister is in Sanskrit and it basically means "please forgive me , for if by any chance i have hurt you..or intended to hurt you..."

well actually the last ten days we (means the followers of 'JAINISM') had our festival basically called PARYUSHAN ......it is basically a ten day long event where the central idea is to ask for forgiveness and forgive others........during these ten days we 'ought' to follow some set of rules and also listen to the preachings of our religious pedagogue,

in short its basically a festival where we try to look inside ourself and vacuum clean our heart and soul of all the ill feelings , confusions , etc...!!

how is this achieved.... ?

as i said we follow a set of rules ,(though its not compulsory......!) the rules actually are basically leading to the exercise of self restrain and controlling the senses(read ...sensual pleasure...!)

so what did i do?

as i said earlier its a ten day festival :-

i on my part:-

1. HAD A FAST CONTINUOUS FOR THE FIRST THREE DAYS :-

here fast means shedding or restraining oneself from taking any type of solid food,,,,

i did follow it , did not take anything except around 2 glasses of warm water each day....!!

2. WANTED TO FOLLOW THE FAST FOR THE NEXT TEN DAYS:-

..this is the toughest type of penence one can follow during paryushan....my cousins have done it.....i wanted to do it.....as on the fourth day morning, i was feeling full of energy after doing puja's and all other stuff.......but have my exams coming up.....andmom warned ,"your body will atleast 15 more days to recuperate after fasting continuously for 10 days drinking just 2 glasses of water..."

3. had only food once in the whole day for the next 6 days..ie on the fourth day had just milk ... :-

milk once in the evening and once in morning...!!

4. also participated in all the chores ... PRATIKAMAN and ABHISHEK:-

PRATIKAMAN:- asking GOD for forgiveness for all the sins i had committed knowingly or unknowingly

ABHISHEK: - its done in the morning where we jave to wear sacred clothes(dhoti and dupatta), yeh i know how to wear a dhoti ,,,though still not perfectly,,but its enough not to move down from its place...!!

didnt had anything after sunset,,no potatoes and no onions, eat everything home made,

and tried to be away from music, movies, cricket and also talking unnecessary...while attending colleges, etc...!!!

WHAT HAS IT DONE TO ME?

WELL can't be described in words, but certainly have understood the power of discipline, have realised the power we have inside us,,both physically and mentally.....anywayz more on this later...!!!

INTENTION OF WRITING THIS POST?

no ,,its not to sound ostentatious about what i have done......but its just to keep it as a reminder personally,,,,,especially when i start doubting over my self belief and when i feel getting addicted towards wordly pleasurees,,,,,reminding me that i was able to keep myself away from it....!!!

occluding my post here......!!!

BLUE UMBRELLA ...!!

2007-09-15T22:14:00.000+05:30

FILMS gaped at:-

1. BLUE UMBRELLA:-

Atlast got my hands on this much awaited film....

why the eagerness ?

it's a film directed by one of my favourite director VISHAL BHARADWAJ.....actually as a music director i would rate him a notch ahead then his directorial abilities....!!

about the film:-

adapted from the RUSKIN BOND novel by the same name....the film is set on the himachal pradesh landscapes....to be precise in a village out there where the panchayat rules are followed.....!!

the film revolves around a BLUE UMBRELLA,,which is the centre of attraction and envy among the villagers and is possessed by a bubbly village girl played by SHREYA SHARMA.....though the pint sized girl doen't have much of dialogues...but she had to show various shades of emotions which she has done it perfectly,,,infact her face has something charasmatic.....stays on the mind....!!

now coming to the main character ....PANKAJ KAPOOR....playing the stingy owner of a tea stall named KHATRI Ki DUKAN......he is depicted as a old man,,,,who due to financial problems had to start the tea stall at the early age of seven.. missing his childhood fun and studies too......!!!

thereby he is still enchanted by the childish things like binoculars,,,,,,ets...its a story of his obsession towards this blue umbrella.....and how he ends up being ostrasized from the village for his stealing of the blue umbrella...!!!

though the story sounds too one dimensional ,,, but actually has various layers onto it.....

PANKAJ KAPOOR:-

FLAWLESS perfomance,,,,his dialect,,,,his expressions ,,,his body language,,,,just perfect..... I GUESS...IF AMITABH BACCHAN DESERVED the national honours for his role in BLACK....then this perfomance of his deserves NOTHING LESS,,,,,three cheers for him...kudos for the director VISHAL BHARADWAJ....!!

BLUE UMBRELLA is actually the symbol of desire,,,,,and the film shows where 'desires' lead us to..!

MUSIC :-
AASMANI CHHATRI.....the title song is beautifully penned by GULZAR......the backgrounds are just mind boggling...!!!

A MUST WATCH .....its already taken into my favourite movies library...>!!!!!!

ALT+TAB...!!

2007-09-08T23:30:00.000+05:30

hi MISS BLOG,,

for a change the title to this blog post was given before hand by me.......!!!

it actually covers the essence of what i have been going through....!!!!

1. MOUSE:-

well from the last few days ,,,,, my mouse (abbey....computer wala.... :-) ).... stopped running.....i guess its port has given up/////.......can't blame it..... it's around 7 years old//.......and glad most of the time it had been faithful to me.... well from my side ,,i feel sad i didn' t take enough care of cleaning once in a while....!!!

cleaning...mouse......???/ ..have you gone nuts ..ankit//?!

yeh,,,i actually i am using the mouse type which had a mouse ball behind it......unlike the optical one used normally nowadays.....!!

even its wires have got badly coiled up.......!!!

now ,,,i guess bantering about such a trivial hardware component called 'mouse' doesn't make sense....but don't know why .....i loved the mouse....(hate to use the word 'loved'....!!)....

maybe 'ONE' of my sons/daughters and his/her sons will read this tawdry blog post some day,,,and get to know what sort of technology i had used...... with the same fascination with which today we look at the huge gramophone's our grandpa's used during their times,,,,and then feel lucky about our touchscreen ipods......

hi MISS BLOG,,,

A> BOOKS:-

finished reading THE KITE RUNNER :- by Khaled Hosseini

HAD BOUGHT THE BOOK on instincts
a> the title of book attracted me instantly....
b> reading the purport given on the back of the book......

AND i guess it proved very profitable....its one of the good books among all that i have read (it consists of a very small list... :-) )

the story is based upon primarily the lives of two families in afghanistan.....

its a story of redemption......and i enjoyed it thoroughly......the story did grip me.... i like fiction which are based on strong characters....and with underlying philosophical thoughts......!!!!

the story can be easily adapted to a bollywood 'masala' blockbuster.....though i guess....a hollywood film is already being made on the book.....!!!...it does grip us...wit the description of the afghani people ,their customs,,,the strong characters,,,,and atlast the redemption part....!!!

wanted to write a full fledged review on the book,,,,,but it has been quite some time i have read it...,,,, will go thr' the book once again...and come up with a complete review....!!!

overall the book did leave me in a contemplative mood at the end of reading...and does have a lasting effect...sign of a good write up ... ..a book highly recommended for a read...!!!

B.> THE GUIDE :- by RK Narayan
(caution :- spoilers presented)

the author starts well in setting up the fiction...... it is based on the life of RAILWAY RAJU......who starts with a stall on the platform,,,,converts into a GUIDE.....falls in love (or rather lust) with one of his clients ROSIE.....whose husband doesn't pay any attention to her....so she falls or rather attracts RAJU to herself and both bonk each other till the husband finds about it and abandons her....!!!!!

but then it shows the other side of RAJU....who accepts ROSIE to her house....and how he helps ROSIE work on her passion of dancing....and ends up making her a celebrity...a national renowned bharat natyam dancer....!!..!!!

he ends up in a JAIL....and comes back to be taken by a set of village as a SWAMI....then starts the journey of he giving spiritual discourses, blessings, teaching the village students,,,to the village people...who start considering him as their saviour from the drought that strikes the village....he is believed to be a man of GOD...!!.....!!!!!

the author keeps the character very unidimensional.......the character of ROSIE....is depicted in a vague manner...the mental conditions and the psychology of the characters should have been made more prominent .....!

a good read,,,,saw the rushes of the 'superhit' film based on this book THE GUIDE by NAV KETAN FILMS...DEV ANAND depicts RAILWAY RAJU....and ROSIE is played WAHEEDA RAHMAN.......and it really felt convincing...with minor changes,,,,,DEV ANAND as RAILWAY RAJU seems to have done great justice to the character depicted by the author...actually i really felt that he bought more SHADES to the character....and the scenes of him as a SWAMI...were top notch...will try to grab the full movie DVD....!!!

overall a good read...!!!

AT PRESENT READING:-

A> bought a AYN RAND.....WE THE LIVING......!!!
B> enjoying BHAGWAD GITA......fascinated by the depth of thoughts and 'way of life' that should be flollowed........

written during those ancients times...i mean it still has a huge amount of relevance in todays KALYUG...ala CYBER AGE..some of the verses,,does leave some impact on me....leaves me thinking quite a few times... .!!!

especially,,,,dil chahta hai,,,,!!

SEXY India and PROSTITUTION

2007-08-15T15:31:00.000+05:30

STILL SEXY AT 60

wait...think...about the above tag line......

well that was the headline of the bombay edition of supposed to be INDIA'S most read national paper 'TOI'....EH....Times Of India.....!!

though for various reasons i call it 'my toilet paper'.....not sounding too derogatory...but it is a fact...it is my fav. reading material at my fav. s(h)itting place......!!!

coming back to the headline....the paper showed the page it had printed during the actual D-DAY 15TH AUG. 1947......(then headline : birth of india's freedom..)

along with it.....it had facts and figures to prove that india had indeedly become SEXY by now.....it showcased...the INCREASE IN pay of an IAS........the increase in the life expetancy...the increase in the defence budget.......etc...!!

now all these is fine... i mean it has tried to make us feel good about our 60 yrs of independance.......but the real show starts now.....

the other news which it has reported..:-

1.left and PM ...."left" here means a communist ideology led mockery party.....

both sit for breakfast, have good time, have tea....and forgot to get a common decision on the more imp. NUCLEAR 123 deal.....
i guess its time the 'left' starts looking at the larger picture.......but do they have the vision to do that..?>????

2. a shiv sainik caught red handed carrying arms and ammunition during 1993 riots....and still no case is being pushed against him...hope Sanju baba is listening...?

3. want get into the more substandard and negative reports 'TOI' has reported to make us feel bad....!!

but this is one report which caught my eye,,,,,actually due to the pic the article carried....!!

(pictorial descrpition :- a - cross- legged-fe-male-wearing-a-mini-skirt,,,)(eh..shows the degree of how sex starved i am....!!)

anywayz the artcile had the headline tag

FOR BETTER LIFESTYLE, MANY UPPERCLASS MIDDLE CLASS HOUSEWIVES IN GUJARAT(read AHMEDABAD) TURN TO PROSTITUTION
with one of the quote of a housewife named meeta (a resident of NAVRANGPURA, ahmedabad,owns two swanky cars, a classy flat,etc..) "my husband's business failed , when his income started drying up,i was made to sleep with his friends and business contacts to keep our lifestyle.IT'S BETTER THAN BEGGING..." "INITIALLY it felt creepy about my husband pimping for me,but then it was better than begging for my son's future.I HAVE MADE PEACE WITH MY FATE."said meeta. MEETA'S sons are in US...for higher studies....and it states it was possible all because of the money she earned from prostitution.

and there was another example of anushka....whose husband was happy and comfortable with her wife's job(read prostitution)...for it helps him getting funds for his travel business...and his son's education being funded in australia......!!! now actaully after reading the article i was left sitiing numb over the pot for a few min....actually not able to digest the article...first i thought it was all made up........but it did reflect one thing ,,,,,that we have become overly materialistic over the 60 years of independence....

1. we the youngsters of this country NOW need a beautiful GF /BF as soon as we start figuring whats the basic difference between the anatomy of a girl and a boy.....and all you need to find one .....is a stupid GMAIL account and an invitation to the webworld of finding lost friends...!!

2. everyone needs an
IPOD/IPHONE/LAPTOP/
A RETIREMENT SCHEME READY/
A FORIEGN VACATION EVERY YEAR/SWANKY RAVE PARTIES TO ATTEND/
INCREASE OUR SCRAPS ON A STUPID SO CALLED SOCIALISING WEBSITE/
AN NRI STATUS/IF NOT THEN GET MARRIED TO ONE NRI/

WELL actually to prove the above point is the booming sales of the A class of luxury stuff like cars/watches/clothes/,ETC in INDIA.....!!!

THE MAIN intention of writing this stupid shit.....is not to show case 'it is not good to be materialistic'....but rather it is to highlight the 'speed and the extent to which we are all falling under the sense gratified pleasures'///...and it does include me......!!!

but the above article on 'housewives turning prostitute' is i guess the extreme case.....and i am still not ready to digest if the article can be true atleast in INDIA......

1. prostitution for surviving/ prostitution b'cos being forced into it/b'cos of circumstances and trapped into it......is understandable...though it shows the acme of human atrocities.....

but the reasons given for prostitution here.....:-

1. maintain the lifestyle (bullshit.....lifestyle...cars, furnished flats,mobiles....ughhh/.....)

2. husbands pimping their wives to their business contacts and freinds...(and they belong to the upper class......sure..!)

3. sons studying in US AND AUSTRALIAN universities(and that too for higher studies....guess the sons do have the intellect to know by now what their parents are upto......and where the money is coming to pay them their college fees........what sort of education it is....what sort of son's they are....???)

i really cannot digest all this...!!!!

though on the other side,,,,there are also men turning into GIGOLOS....i hope the spelling is right....'turning into one'....again for the above materialistic pleasures.....!!!!

i guess....we have come along well ahead .....in the last 60 years..... for previously we survived for ROTI/KAPDA AUR MAKAAN,......but now it is BUFFET/ BRANDED KAPDA AUR LUXURY MAKAAN...... (eh...i know it sounds cheesy///)!!!!

b> my share of independence:-

yes,,,,few years ago..when i had just been out of my teens..and started shavng...... i had kept a GOATEE......my 'typical' mom strictly said..." if you want to keep that small stuff////....find a place outside my house...."
then some time back i came out of the bathroom,,,adoring a new found "FRENCH BEARD"...my father forced me.....to reenter the bathroom and shave it off/////

but yesterday......"my french beard" found an acceptance among my parents......yes..i am keeping a light french beard.....and suddenly it seems my 'sex rating' among my peers has increased.....i mean most of them complimented of it looking good...!!

thats my share of getting in-dependance...!

kicking life hard.......!!!

hi MISS BLOG,,,

"if my mind can concieve it, and my heart can believe it....i know i can achieve it..!!"

its so very imp. as an individual you respect yourself more,,,and stop being over impressed by others....i mean there is a diff. respecting someone's talent.....while,,being super awe'd by them......and that has been the case with me..... !!

won't elaborate it more...
..but have started feeling confident of myself, my abilities..,,the key to it is being honest with myself........!!!

it's so very imp. to get up each day,,,and look forward to live it fully...,,,,, actually the most imp. thing is being passionate with the stuff you do,,,,,and sleep each day with the feeling of doing the things which you want to.....even though it may be less rewarding...!!!

listening to:-

1. konjum mainakkale from the film Kandukondein kandukondein "tamil " composed by AR RAHMAN .....aishwarya 'bachhan' starrer..... view the video of this song on youtube.....superbly picturised...soothing.......!!

munbe vaa!!!

WHO IS THIS

I came out alone on my way to my tryst.
But who is this that follows me in the silent dark?

I move aside to avoid his presence but I escape him not.

He makes the dust rise from the earth with his swagger;
he adds his loud voice to every word that I utter.

He is my own little self, my lord, he knows no shame;
but I am ashamed to come to thy door in his company.

- Rabindranath Tagore

hi MISS BLOG,

MUNBE VAA :-

abbey,,sounds like a harry potter magical mantra.....actually is the song to which i am hooked,,,and for a change it is in TAMIL.....!!!,,,,

north meets south...:- actually that speaks the greatness and expertise of this man AR RAHMAN......that compels not only me but scores of people listen to his music lyrics of which is nothing but a series of magical shlokas,,,,,but who cares.....!!!

though have been lucky to find friends ready to translate them into english or explain me the setting of the songs....!!!

tamil song i am listening too:-

1. new york nagaram :- based on the theme similar to that of (DIL CHATA HAIN TANHAYEE)....sung by the masterman himself....AR RAHMAN......a sure chartbuster if released in hindi...!!!

2. kama kama;- a funky song.....makes me wear my sneakers ,,,,,raise my hands.....and shake my pelvic bones.....a song based on the college life,,,,would be a bigger hit than PAATHSHALA ...if released with hindi lyrics.........don't know why the song brings a smile whenever i hear it...!!.!!!

3.. munbe vaa:- just note the orchestration......only GOD can compose such a music...especially the jal tarang used in the starting of the song........mind blowing...!!!!!!

wish knew the tamil language,,,,,just for this man AR RAHMAN...!!!

2. literature:-

okay enough of IDOL WORKSHIP.....can go on and on...!!!

met some time back DR. ASHWIN DESAI a phD in politics and philosophy......had a discussion on LITERATURE with this 64 yet 20 guy.....i mean to say stilll very young much at heart,,,he epitomised 18 till i die.....!!!!

so this guy knew everything,,,,the indian classical ,the russian,the spanish, the german...,,,the english,,indian regional classsical right from kasmiri to tamil all literature.....!!!

the discussion was mainly on what is literature,,,,,,mostly he explained the concepts like love, and otehr human natures,,,,using verses,,,and explained how ,,,,,beautifully one can communicate....using imagination,,,,and that is basically nothing but taught by literature........for a moron like me,,,,,poetry and poem verses are something which is skipped religiously by me,,,,whenver it makes an occurence in front of me...!!!!

but from the past few months......odd stuff like.....

1. viewing romantic song videos,,,,,has become a fav. time pass for me...!!!
(top secret:- i had seen sometime back the latter half of a film called JAANEMAN(akshay,salman priety starrer).....and i had enjoyed the movie even to my own surprise......).....even watched salaam namaste and even enjoyed the movie.....hoping all my hormones(chemical loccha..!) are in correct balance,,,?>

its no surprise that i have been reading or taking some interest in the beautifully written verses which used to sound like b-grade film dialogue's to me previously...!!....!!!

2. have been reading occasionally the BHAGWADA GITA (translated one), works of rabindranath tagore...one pasted above.....loved the poem....!!!

will write about it more...!!!

FLAG POINT 1......!!!!!

2007-08-05T00:34:00.000+05:30

"Vision without Action is a Day Dream.
Action without Vision is a Nightmare. " -japanese proverb

so the above quote says it all,,,actually life right now for me seems to be a perfect combination of both, so logically i have been most of the time day dreaming or rather experiencing nightmares...!!!!

day dreaming about my do's....but not converting it into actions.....and most importantly thinking or focussing on stuff which should be given least amount of my concern and energy....resulting into nightmares!!!

but the best creation according to me that GOD has made is,,,,,rotation of the earth..... i.e........

the creation of day and night....!!!

thereby each day helps us to start on a new note,,,with more vigour,,,,..or as the saying goes...
"Its never too Late."

my new semester has started and therefore have been feeling quite a bit of urge of jotting down my priority lists.
the most important lesson that i have learnt or felt till now,is that a genuinely successful person according to me ,is not the one who is extremely successful only in his profession or in the work he does...
but more imp. successful according to me is the one who has kept a balance in most of life's aspect.. i.e.
he has been a good employee,
he has been a great son, a great husband ,a great father,
he has taken out time for his passions,
kept himself physically and mentally fit!

and certainly any unrest in any of the above marked points can only lead to doom...or unbalance life...!!!!

"the biggest obstacle is the distance between our ears."
-author unknown

thereby have divided my to-do's into several pockets:-

1. short term goals:-

A . ACADEMICS:-

a> concentrate on my subjects:- getting into the last year of my graduate life,,,have been lucky enough to have those subjects in which i have interests....infact the subject i am looking forward to carries the highest credit...so its quite necessary to do well in it....rather than taking it as yet another subject attitude ...that i had perenially adopted till now..!!

b> increase my aptitude ..have made an action plan for it...will be honest with it...!!!

c> increase my vocabs and especially its usage,,,repeating words again and again does make the conversation dull.....(and can be strikingly observed going thr' my blogs...will be more conscious of avoiding it...!!!)...i mean it has been due to lack of it that haven't been able to communicate the way it needed to be...!!!

d> listenning to new sounds,,especially in the genre of classical , soft rock, pop and even the sugar coated romantic one's (don't know why...have been hearing loads of those nowadays ///... :-) )
d1> view new visuals....i mean apart from those mundane music videos, widen it to more on my fav. sports, fav. personality... AR RAHMAN , FEDERER, JORDAN, BIRD, NAYAN GHOSH, !!

e> read more books....reminds me that have been keeping pending THE GUIDE, PAPILLON....actually do want to read it rather than just for the sake of it,,,,,,had recently finished THE KITE RUNNER.....a book review on it has been kept pending from quite some time...!!!

B. PHYSICAL:-

on a positive note have been following a regime from quite some time....and started to see its efffect.....i guess its time i become more strict with it......i.e stop gulping those unnecessary mushy looking food stuff.....it has been hard but quite worth it...!!!

have been hitting the gym lately,,,though with the start of college,,,it will be tough...but i will try to sort it out....!!!

apart from that....will keep continuing my love for cycling,,,,stretching ,,etc...!!

want to learn a type of martial art,, tai chi. maybe...will do it as soon as the sem ends...!!!

have learnt from the past month's practices,,,,,the key to anything is discipline.....and it requires heavy duty motivation to stick to it.....will HAVE to be more concscious of my habits or rather developing good habits,...!!!

C>SPIRITUALLY AND MENTALLY:-

a. want to get into meditation..was into it quite a while ago.....maybe twice a week,,,..i guess priority to it is more than hitting the gym.....
the most thing i dread about myself....is when i am at a state when my small mind is filled with confusions....and off lately it has been mostly that way.....have to be more sure of myself.....and even if taken a not so correct decision ,i should be prepared for its consequences rather than gettign feared abt it...!!!

b. be more observant than judgemental

c. mentally i guess...i need a certain make-over...... align my self belief, increase my self esteem, be more focussed, settle some of my thoughts....!!!

d. and lastly stop introspecting now...need to get into actions...!!!!

D>SOCIALLY:-

A. ANOTHER most aspect ,,in fact has to be given the priority.....have been a very bad social animal.....

b. i am an introvert , and i guess there is no need to change it , its something with which i feel comfortable....but surely there have been numerous times where i have stopped myself , or maybe felt lazy,,,communicating with others when i wanted to....!!!!!

c. have made a list of 6 persons to whom i will divert my energy.....that includes,,,my MISS BLOGGY too....>!!!!!and btw....tommorow IS

MY MISS BLOGGY'S birthday.......and the only thing i can say abt my BLOG,,,is that it has been the one best thing that i am most proud ,,,,,i mean each and every second with my MISS BLOGGY,,,,has been the biggest investment i have made....have no regrets for it......!!!!!!!!!!!!

and i feel this is one blog,,,,to which i would like to revert back again and again...........i am sure it will help me in motivating myself and act as a reminder to keep me on the track....!!!!!

GOD bless me...!!!

muaaaaahhhhhhh....!!

2007-06-27T01:10:00.000+05:30

(NO ITS NOT A mf hussain painting...:-

its nature's abstarct...clicked by a VGA CAMERA..can't believe myself....taken by me while waiting for a friend under a tree,,,,!!! loved the feel of the red leaf, the twigs, the soil colour,,wierd...!! )

hi MISS BLOG,,

back to old ways it seems,,,,,the last three days have been back to keeping late nights......

had been sleeping the whole of evening....!!!

as usaul had a discussion with my sis just sometime back,,,and as more usaul,,,she ended pushing me out of her room,,,
sugar coated words like "dimaag mat kharab karo!!"(for the english understanding junta it means "brains don't bug " with better grammatical sense it means "don't bug my brains...? "),,,"clean your rooms , thoda aadmi ke tarah raho"("behave a bit like human beings?")

as can be noticed the level of respect and admiration she has for me,,,,she loves me a lot....!!!

the other bookmark questions and suggestions she gave me during the highly evolved discussions...:-

"ankit i guess you smoke,,,you smell like as if you have just come from a cigareete factory.??.!!!" "anki, you need to start meditations ......you will need it when you start your boring job next year....!!!"
also it included a heated topic on ethics,,,,

where i was suggesting her how she should be less honest towards her work.....!!!!??

and then the best part,,,,,

she had the day before gone to a dance party on this weekend> (this being her first one...!!)

and it ended up being her one of her worst nightmares,,,,,,or you can say she got the MOST POWERFUL CULTURAL SHOCK OF HER LIFE..?
like the ones experienced by a mother -in law gets when she goes to meet her son residing in US of A and sees the lifestyle of her BAHU....and or when sees a walmart,,,or when sees everything they have their,, cars, bungalows, of which she was proud back in INDIA,,,are bought on loans,,,and how they have to slog the whole day just to fill back the bills and mortages...>!!!

yeh,, my sis for the first time,,,,saw a lot of girls in outfits worn by item girls, tattoed back,(and god knows what else,,),,.

and to top it all she saw for the first time in her words:- A GIRL SMOKING..!!!

resulting in she exiting(and b'cos of her,,out came 6 other friends accompanying her) out from the party in 15 mins from their entry,,,, with remarks from her friends "don't act like 60 year old/?",,,"don't be a sissy,,,?",,"so what had you come here expecting ...people performing bharat natyam..??"

"why had you come here at the first place...??"

"common girl,,stop acting like a village girl,,,,,"

to shorten it up ,,,, she played spoil sport to her other friends......!!!

she came back home,,,, drank two glasses of water,,went to her room......came back,,, told my mom,,,,that she made a mistake being there,,,,,and would not have attended if she knew what was she going to see.....she was furious,abt many things,,,mobile cameras clicking ,,,the music setup,,the dance moves,,,etcc......!!!

i (with one experience of attending these parties, and numerous exp. of seeing girls smoke...!!) just told her that ,,"you better stop seeing these things right or wrong,,,,,i mean the guyz and gals there enjoy all this stuff.... ,,,this is the current cultural trend,,,, and more blah blah...you should not have played spoil sport to your friends ..more blah blah....!!...""

she just said,,"she could not stand it,,,,,,,,,yeh its true,, ".. still perplexed with what she saw...!!!

she is just one girl,,,, enjoying her job as a teacher in a pre school,,,teaching small kids,,,singing simple poems to them,,showing them simple hand leg movements..interacting with their parents,,listening to rhymes she would be teaching,,,,,,listening to soft and foot tapping bollywood music,,,,,enjoying the stupidity of yash raj movies,,,etc...!!!!!

she is not wrong ,,,,,equally nor i feel the gals she saw smoking are wrong.......!!!!

its better for her and me both to stop seeing things as right or wrong,,,,,,, i have understood this fact somewhat.....hope has too....!!!!

song i am listening to:-
1. TERA MERA RISHTAY...from the film awarapan....compased by some pakistani singer,,,after long time have been hooked to a song back...!!!

2. yun hi chala chal :- swades///!!

3. kyon judaa:- euphoria
