Media trivia

How big a media spur can you cause if you die in a plane crash which collided with some WTC or Empire State building or so? How many people will come to sympathize with your family for their loss (obviously your family gets the insurance money and freedom from your painful talks but we are not talking about that here)? The answers to the above questions will be "very few". Most of the world and media will be diving in finding out how the crash occurred, how many people died, if there was anybody surviving, if yes how, and so many things which could get just make your death so secondary that even you won't care about it.

Not exactly the same thing, but on a similar line something happened recently. Dhoni got a haircut yaar!! Now you would say, whats the big deal in that? Don't ask me, ask those who are writing about it (even I am, now :) ). Most of the people are speculating that why will he do such a strange thing. Is it because he is hitting on Deepika or because he wanted to change his fashion statement? Let me ask, can't he get sick of combing his hair everyday or keeping them clean and tidy? Anybody will get pained with such long hairs (ask the girls who also don't like to keep long hairs now a days, the smaller the better). Media has made a whole "rai ka pahad" (mountain out of a molehill) thing out of it. There are videos showing particularly his head with short hairs and not even his face. Speculations are going around about if he will be able to maintain the good performance in upcoming cricket matches with his hairs being gone (?????).

What the hell?? Nobody thinks that even Dhoni could run out of shampoo one day (even when he is the highest tax payer in Bihar) and realize that hairs can be very painful sometimes when let loose on their own. Good that he took care of them now itself. I just hope that the barber who did this to Dhoni don't get killed in the near future if India loses against Pakistan or Australia. Then may be we will have to buy Dhoni a fake wig until he gets back the good old "jungle" back on his head. Anything that works better for the nation, after all its all about Cricket in INDIA :) :) :).

A cup of Coffee with me please

Sometimes I think how did I survive without coffee for the last 5 years, as now it has become an everyday necessity for me just like water. It was good to think that I was not intaking any caffeine but really speaking, its a good feeling to be on caffeine.

Starting the work at 9:30 am and no breaks till lunch makes a man feel lost all along.A lunch also just gives you a slight change in mindset which may hold you for an hour or two at the most, but not for long. As soon as you start yawning at work, its time for a coffee break and it better be black because you still have some more time to spend wasting your mind on the unrealistic complications of this technical world.

Having said all that, its not the coffee which takes your sleep away, its the partner with whom you have this coffee. No, No, No, don't jump on any conclusions right away, as most of you will do given the slightest indication. Let me clear it up saying that the partner need not be someone close or you know dash-dash-dash, he/she may just be someone whose face you like (can be in any sense). Obviously if its someone special you have an extra edge over others (an unfair advantage you know).

The question is why the hell I am writing all this??? Actually, in this brief duration of time since I started drinking coffee on a regular basis, I realized why I never felt the need for drinking coffee earlier and what made it so special for most of the people in this world. And the most important thing I have found that its the partner who makes your coffee special not the brand or taste. I have had some of these special moments (some of the coolest ones :) )and I remember those coffee hours as I continue my coffee/caffeine consumption.

P.S: All being true, coffee does help you get good grades in dire circumstances and at those moments you don't really need a partner but the GOD to help you out.

Preparations for the final take off

Its time to rock baby!

Final semester, final courses, the last battle before the glory has given a sense of joy and tension at the same time. Its hard to think the life not being a student instead a professional. Every step in life is a new beginning but there are always some moments which you don't want to forget and I think I kind of have lot of those now, so its time to move into a new phase :) ..

Now its just that one simple luck which will define the future course of my life and may be a lot others :)....dont waste time on guessing about those now as they dont even exist till now..hehehe...The only one thing that I really missed in this last year is HOME and believe me its only home that I want finally. Hoping that this longing for home will pay off good returns, I am hanging at the edge almost everyday enjoying each moment. I have seen people go through a lot more difficulties than I can ever imagine and I am determined to make the most of what I have got.

One thing that you may notice in my blogs is the shift from humor to more philosophy and real life thingies. Don't judge me on that as its just the lack of ideas which are forcing me to write in this genre. But the humor and satire will come ....just wait and watch.
