Valentine day & Indian men

Posted in Uncategorized on 02/14/2012 12:42 pm by aravind das



The air is filled with mist laden love, affection & compassion(which is invisible to me & to  many gents),but it is seen to all the ladies .Gents are so lazy & unromantic !Particularly the middle aged married Indian male like me.May be work load in office( if it is there),market rate, inflation,soaring prices of daily use items are the cause of the temporary schizophrenia or memory loss in many males.We are different from the collage romeo category.So i am not an exception.

Gone are the days of red roses,candle light dinner, gifts…etc.We clarify the confusion as Where is the time ?Pat came reply from better half …..You people have lots of time for your friends, party, drinks;Never forget the date when India is having a cricket match….But when it come to valentine, anniversary or wife’s birth day , you folks pretend to forget?

Have you ever forget the birthday of your Boss ?never….In office or work place you give roses to your secretary but not to your wives…why ?This is hyprocracy.We ladies have always to suffer & you people have the party on your time.We have to take care of house & kids.No enjoyment on Valentine day too.


No alternative other than saying SORRY, i guess .(today i should havenot attent the office party & reach home in time atleast)



But darling I have never forget your birthday.

Really ???? don’t you know today is our anniversary too !!!!!
Poor me even a KOHINOOR DIAMOND can not mend her anger & save me.
I took the safest mode to pacify my wife…SILENCE……

I was wondering “Why this Valentine day is coming every year without prior intimation to me ?

Reason……”MEN WILL ALWAYS BE MEN…………



HAPPY VALENTINES DAY 2 ALL

 




 

Karnataka ministers & porngate

Posted in Uncategorized on 02/09/2012 05:26 pm by aravind das


Whole Nation is fuming for the immoral act of the 3 Karnataka ministers inside the assembly yesterday.Poor fellow ,little did they know that a porn clip will cost them the coveted ministry post !


3-IDIOTS…May be this title fits correctly to these 3 somes.The people who have participated inthe so called rave party at Udupi have now be very happy to know that the party has hogged the limelight.Hope the people present at that party would have enjoyed as much our ministers did  sitting inside the assembly.


Where are the moral police force of RAM SENA !!!!! Why no slogan, vandalism ,bashing up the ministers or atleast a protest ?Becoz now these people are their own ????So pathetic & double standard !All is well if you are a politician.They can ban Valentine day party, but can watch porn clipping .Who knows what they will be watching during lunch break ?


I think even the MLAs & MPs who are sleeping while the assembly or loksabha in process should also be penalized & suspended.Because they are not being elected to enjoy inside the house.


Roumorous grapevine source(may be false) informed that actually the minister for child & women welfare in Karnataka assembly was verifying the identity of the women in the tape …just to help her after knowing the identity.May be he was checking whether the cloth she wore was provocating or not!


Hypocrites……….


Sunny Leon are you listening??????Who knows when your movie will be screened in which assembly?
 

NEHRU vs MANMOHAN

Posted in Uncategorized on 11/08/2011 12:05 pm by aravind das

Whats the difference between OUR  1st Prime minister NEHRU & current PM Manmohan Singh ?
Nehru:- ” My dear indians….At the stroke of the midnight India got it’s freedom”
Manmohan- (Not once but 4 times till date this year)”My dear oil companies, At the stroke of the midnight you got freedom to increase the fuel price as u like”…..

{just joking}

Posted in Philosophy, Uncategorized on 05/26/2011 04:31 pm by aravind das


OPL(Odisha Premier League) , the new age 20-20 cricket tournament got off  to a extravaganza colourful, cheerful start at Barabati Stadium, cuttack.The first edition of Odisha Premier League (OPL) T20 cricket tournament  is in the line of  IPL .It is the brain child of OCA & present indian team’s manager Ranjib Bishwal.It is really a welcome step for the budding cricket talents of odisha.The innaguration was a lavish affaire with  cultural show and spectacular fireworks.

There are total 10 teams from all over Odisha & there will be 44 matches to be played under the flood light.There are brand ambassador for each team & with cheer leaders to encourage at the match venue, the spectators will have a great time .It was, however, the colorful march past by the teams that stole the limelight on the inaugural evening which was held under the floodlights of Barabati stadium. Leading the march past were 60 women cricket members of the state.

Popular super star of Odissa film industry Anubhav Mohanty, appointed as the brand ambassador of OPL, was present at the stadium with over 20,000 people present.The beautiful OPL trophy is made of five kg silver.At present OPL is worth 3.7 crores.The first edition of auction of the odia cricketers was a mix experience, as so many new faces came under the hammer, whereas some known experienced ranji players remained unsold.Hopefully in the comming years this tournament will grow further with respect to cricket spirit , talent & business.
Kudos to all who are associated with this & hope the 1st editin will not be the last edition or infight among the cricket officials & politicians & businessmen.Let people enjoy pure cricket.Let spirit of cricket rocks.

APHRODESIAC JASMINE GAZRA

Posted in Uncategorized on 10/20/2010 07:12 am by aravind das


Ramesh’s short stint in Chennai has made him familiar with few things as it is the part of the local life style.Kanjeevaram silk sarees,idly-sambar,dosa,white waisty(lungi) & most importantly JASMINE FLOWER & other scented floral gajaras.
Everyday Ramesh used to see lakhs of men & women purchasing these small flower gazras in the evening (No matter whether rich or poor).It is a must item for all the married lady here in Tamilnadu.It is a kind of tradition.
Ramesh thought these perfumed floral gazras are used either for a silver lining effect to the thick dark hair or may be as deodorizer.Everyday he used to see his colleague Senthil used to purchase a garland worth 10/- or more, while returning home.
So oneday Ramesh asked senthil the reason of purchase flowers & boy he was totally surprised to know one of the TRUE SECRET of these jasmine gazras.
With a feeble voice senthil whispered ” Actually it is a kind of APHRODISIAC & it is joy for all the husbands.Of course it adds to the beauty of women & it is a symbolic representation of married lady.”
Ramesh thought the 2nd reason was not that significant as senthil had a sparkle in his eye when he told the Aphrodisiac reason.


Senthil purchased one more Gazara & gave it to Ramesh & told “Sir you can try today & see the effect’.Ramesh had a blush in his cheek & reluctantly kept it in his hand bag cautiously.Before dropping ramesh at his home senthil said “ALL THE BEST” ,with a mystique smile.


Ramesh took out the gazra & smelled it…Ahh really heavenly feeling…He was thinking about the night & it reminded him his 1st night with Geeta , his wife.15 years back also there was jasmine flowers all over their bed…..& today it may the same story with this little jasmine gazra….;Ramesh was becoming escatic & was going back in the memory lane.He kept the gazra back in the bag.
Geeta opened the door & took the hand bag from Ramesh.She brought tea for him.Ramesh gave her a naughty smile & before he could tell any thing, Geeta told ‘Please go to the shop & bring a SANITARY NAPKIN for me .My period has started today & i cannot go out now in the evening.Please bring it quickly.
What an anti climax!!!All the dreams died suddenly for Ramesh.He was sipping the tea silently.He was thinking what answer he wil give to Senthil tomorrow.May be senthil will say ‘better luck next time’.
Suddenly Geeta asked from the kitchen “Why did you bring the jasmine flower gazra today’?
“IT IS FOR THE GOD” replied Ramesh….

LATEST FILMY MARKETING FUNDA

Posted in Uncategorized on 02/17/2010 08:27 pm by aravind das

Last week it was torrid time for mumbaikars & cinegoeres as BALA THACKERAY issued fatwa for the movie “MY NAME IS KHAN”.Really it was difficult understand as to why these politicians are are indulging in this kind of fruitless ,worthless & idiotic works !No constructive works or thought.Moreover they are having a brigade of loyal rowdy party workers who will do anything what the leaders says.Vandalism.hogolism is becoming the order of the day.
Thanks God, people defeated the fatwa & threat of shiv Sena & went to see the movie.The persons who got the benefits from these act are
1)Producers of “My Name is Khan”(20TH CENTURY FOX & KARAN JOHAR)
2)Sahrukh Khan


If the Producers would have spent another 100 crores of rupees on the promotion of this movie marketing, then also they would not achieved 50% of the result what they got absolutely free.It even put some doubt as to why neither Karan Johar nor Sahrukh talked with Bal thackray prior to the release of this movie(may be 20TH CENTURY FOX knew in this way the film will get maximum milage).The controversy surrounding the statement of SRK regarding the Pak player”s chance in IPL was really a non-issue.But the result was different.
I wonder why this kind of controversy are ozzing out of the Pandora boxes just before the release of any BIG BUDGET MOVIE ?????
Good marketing strategy of course…Who knows how much would have been given to the political parties!!!!!


So Producers & directors…Here is a new mantra of FILM PUBLICITY.Follw this sure success latest formula.
 

4 “IDIOTS”

Posted in Uncategorized on 02/17/2010 08:01 pm by aravind das


After watching the movie “3 IDIOTS” , i really wonderd  as to who is the true/ real the idiot today !So many options came to my mind.It was really difficult to decide the winner among them. So out of all the multiple choices, i choose the following options.



1) STUDENTS.



********************



From the moment they get this TAG, it is understood that they are the real idiots.Because they have nothing to chose, they have no options in life while they are students.Their parents & relatives are the deciding authority of their aim,subject & theme of their life. Sometime or rather most of the time they land up in something which they never like.They are forced to do the things in life what their parents have failed to do in their life.Before their birth sometime parents decide as to what their child has to do!!!!!  No wonder , sometime the child end up in struggle in life, lack of mental peace & happiness .So they are the IDIOT NO-1.



2) PARENTS.



******************



This rank amy seem bit odd, but in today’s world, it is happening.Most of the time, parents are helpless creature in the world.They have no force, no role to play in the life of their child.The moment the so called grown up kid decides, he or she has to do something, then there is no stoppage to his/her idea or worng doing.Parents are seen as the obstracle to the new breed youth’s thinking.The physiological gap turn into psycological gap…which is often get the tag as GENERATION GAP.So whether carrier,job, marriage,spending,saving,study, their life…etc etc becomes the sole private property of the youth.Parents are seen as the money supply machine till youth earn their own.After marriage, parents are the only free house keeper & baby sitters.What more parents have to spend their own pension in some cases according to the order of the children.Pathetic realy, for all the years the two persons take maximum care of their offspring tirelessly to see this  in life..



3) HUSBAND/ WIFE



**********************



So many of you people may think it odd.But i think many a occasion both hubby or wife ends up in the worng side of life , ; being idiot.Either  of them  will always demand this status tag.Both always confess that their partner being the smart one & the latter beig the fool one in life.But in reality it is difficult to beliefe both.What to say…..life is like that.KABHI KHUSI KABHI GUM.(Sometime happiness, some time sorrow).Both fool each other, both demand thge idiot status…….But i think both are winner of the tag……………



4) PUBLIC



**************



In my opinion, common man like me & you are the real idiot in this world. Whether it is our, system, boss, politicians, society….all make us idiot………



What you say friend ?????? who else you think will come under this category ?????



But i think it is better to be an idiot than a STUPID.What u say friends…….



  
 

Touch of NORTH INDIA in the HEART OF CHENNAI

Posted in Uncategorized on 10/30/2009 11:42 am by aravind das

Monsoon has reached tamilnadu, though late it is really a welcome sight.Just thought of going to a place which will give me a totally different flavour in Chennai , just like the first cool drop of monsoon .So both me & wife ventured to the crowded market of SOWCKARPET.The place where you will find more north indians than the local tamil people .
The market( MINT MARKET(gold market),N.S.BOSE MARKET(jwellery),SOWCARPET,PARIS CORNER(wholesale items),BURMA BAZAR(forign goods),GOVINDAPANNAIKN ROAD(electrical good), KASI CHETI STRRET(electronics),gowdown street(cloths),BANDAR STREET( STATIONERY& CRACKERS),NARAYAPAN STRRET(MEDICAL ITEMS),DEVRAL MUDULY STRRET(glasses & hardware).Traders from all the neighbouring staes come here for wholesale shopping to this splace( area aprox 5 am radius).
This market is really give you the feeling of a typical north Indian market.The colour, flavour, charm,crowd,rush,food,ambiance…all typical northern belt.You will forget that you are heart of the capital of tamilnadu.the narrow roads,road side eatery,Rajastani sarees,marwari ladies, gujurati & rajastani shops..all will make nostalgic in going through gallis of either Jaipur or Ahmadabad.
The cycle rickshaw is a welcome sight as you not find it any where else in Chennai.Children stuffed into small old fashioned rickshaw found in north India, is a new to any chennaities.
There is big JAIN TEMPLE in this area.The good & tasty CHARTS are a a gourmet’s delight.the hot JALEBIS,SAMOSAS,KAKADA SWEET…..lassi,pani puri,parathas…you name they have it.The ambiance may not be as good as you think, but for the taste bud restrained tongoue in chennai, you can keep the hygiene concept away for a day at least.


So if you think T-NAGAR is the only the place for shopping, then you are wrong.it is really a shopper’s paradise.Here you can purchase ANY THING & also different fresh fruits & vegetables at a  reasonable good rate .
So after having a satisfying trip of shopping & north Indian food came back home with some good memory.Good use of my weekly off .
[STATUTARY WARNING;- HEAVY BARGAIN IS DONE HERE, EVEN THOUGH FIXED PRICE TAG IS FIXED IN ALL THE SHOPS)
 

CELEBRATING DIWALI AS A “FATHER”

Posted in Uncategorized on 10/18/2009 01:00 pm by aravind das

It was another Diwali.Being a father it is always a daunting task to keep children out of cracker’s attraction.The danger of fire always make you think hundred times as to what measures to be taken.
I still remember my childhood days.Me & my little two sisters used to save our pocket money to buy crackers without the knowledge of our parents. Though Mother was little supportive in our favour for purchase of limited crackers, father used to put a complete ban on crackers just before Diwali.
But a lovable father like him can not see our pale face for long.All his Hitler style of restriction used to be there till the afternoon of Diwali day.In the afternoon he himself used to take us to shop to buy crackers[usually the harmless kind of stuffs meant for kids...without much sound ]Bombs & rockets were strict no- no.Both party happy.In the night papa become curious hearing the loud sounds of our clandestine crackers(it happens every year) & ask question as who has brought it…..Regular usual answer…”LAST YEAR’S BALANCE”….
Just to keep us safe, papa used to burn those rockets & bombs ,so that quickly the stuffs will be over.Sometimes he used to PUT ALL THOSE BOMBS on some news paper & burn it.We do not like his(safety) idea….so the HERO of the morning turn villain for us in the night.
Just to pacify he used to give more money to purchase some chocolates & candy.But you know, we used to purchase some more crackers for future use…..


Years have passed.Yesterday i was repeating the same thing what my father was doing & my daughter complained  to her GRANDFATHER.A mystic smile was there in my father face & after a lovable warning he bought more crackers for his beloved grand daughter.
I complained to my mother about unjustified purchase of dangerous crackers…..Lovingly she put her hand on my head & told
“Now you have a father’s feeling, which your father had when you all were young.So just wait few more years to have a “GRAND FATHER’S feeling”……
I could see my daughter dancing in joy with her newfound SUPER SAVIOUR HERO ‘Grand father’…I was just a mere onlooker……
may be my father would have gone through this same process what i am going through…
Really a daunting task being a father while having a SAFE DEWALI with kids arround…..
