Saas-Bahu quarrels,Senior Junior ragging,Birthday parties

The title seems to be strange at first sight with no apparent relation with any of the above 3 situations with each other,but the greatest philosopher alive(by default,thats me) has noticed a strange behaviour of the human psyche common with all these three events.Now let us start with what prompted me to start this topic.

I have been met with many questions as to why iam against parties.This is an answer.

Yesterday was one of those usual lazy saturdays that started of for me at 12 noon.Without brushing my teeth,i had my lunch,came back and then brushed my teeth and was watching some movie on laptop.Then one of my good friends said they were all going to chandigarh as he along with 10 others was throwing a party.....He and I both knew I was not going to come as I had taken a vow that I will not attend any parties and will not throw any parties to either celebrate success or overcome failure...... but still he asked me as a matter of convention .Many asked me the reason for that as to why i took that vow to which I gave no one a proper reason,but i will list all those reasons in the end.So as usual i dint go with them but went to chandigarh nevertheless eo watch RAKHT CHARITRA(after all Ramu's comeback film) and came back all by myself.Mind you its a very good film,do watch it.

So i came back and started watching my film on the laptop.Ny the time the movie finished the party returned..............So now it was time for statistics.....as to how much was the bill at KFC,DOMINOS,etc etc................who paid how much.......so as far as statistics went
67 HEADS
30,000INR total expenditure
6500INR for movie tickets
23500INR for food,drinks etc.............

so each party thrower had to pay 2900INR towards this event.Iam not going eo write here the reaction of the hosts as that would mean evasion of privacy and confidentiality but let me tell you my opinion on the whole episode

Each head ate for 350INR and the worth of each ticket is 100INR............leaving the movie ticket thing aside

each person ate for Rs350,So normalizing everything it implies each person ate an 8pc chicken bucket and for those who have not eaten it so far,let me tell you even the monster called Sreeram can't do it without stuffing his oesophagus.

Why iam saying all this calculation is when i go out with people for dinner(each paying his own share),people hardly eat for more than rs 150 and assholes like me eat for 200rs max be it KFC or Hotel sahil or LILY's.

So eating for Rs 350 implies either starvation or something else
Starvation is out of context,so i began searching for reasons.

Then i came to the conclusion that the answer lies in the human psyche itself.Average party goers mentality
1.It is coming for free,so stuff as much as you can,once in a month oppurtunity
2.Iam not paying the money
3.Lets take the costliest one.
4.All these buggers ate like garangutans on my birthday,so lets load him as well

Of all these i would like to highlight the last one,i think that aspect of human psyche is common to ragging and saas bahu sagas as well.

We respected our seniors,we did all that was told, so our juniors should do the same
We respected our saas,we did all that was told, so our bahu should do the same

humans feel it is their time to win from the other side of the game and this for me shows deep rooted sadism.So now the reasons i dont give parties is

1.I value money, both mine as well as others.So i wont load anyone and i dont want anyone to load me.
2.Iam not so rich to throw parties worth 3000rs everytime.
3.I hate to entertain people whose main aim is to load just for the only reason that IT IS FREE.
4.People who think twice for drinking a coffee worth rs 5 in fuelzap,if they dont think once before drinking a coffee of rs 110 at some posh hi fi bakery,i see no reason why i shud pay that bill

Note:Though the criticism does not refer to everyone,i stand by the general nature of criticism

And iam not a person washed by milk(doodh se dhula)my character is even worse and i will write abt them in the next post

Great person is not the one without shortcomings but the one who does not fear to accept them-sreeram(just felt like it)

Oh ji .......suniye..................Haan ji boliye...........my foot

Just a few days back,i was on my usual late night debating session with some of my friends. We generally take about a lot of shit right from food in the mess to common wealth games.Then someone started the topic of marriage(natural,for a gf starved lot),and after a whirlwind of things being discussed the topic came to the qualities expected in your wife.Since most of you know the people in our hostel,iam not revealing their names but this is what he had to say...........

IITian 1: My wife should be beautiful,respect my parents and me(parivaar ka khyaal rakhna crap) and be a house wife.

sreeam: Why housewife?

IITian : I dont like women going around and working,it looks odd to me

Sreeram:Why does it look odd to you?

IITian:Dont know ,whenever i think of women i remeber kitchen,children,cooking....earning is for the men lot.

He also added that he would not like it if his wife called him by his name..........he wanted his wife to refer to him as "oh ji............haan ji"etc kinda usual shit.

Now lets go to IITIAN 2

IITian 2: I would not mind if my wife is working.......but she should not be earning more than me because that will make me lose control over her........I want her to be under limits set by me and you can't do that when she earns more.And moreover i will lose respect in my community.

Now there were lot of other comments put in by others,some like the above two,someone against it,some in between and so on.........

But I want to highlight the following above two comments
Both are IITians,the best brains in the country.............But still they could not accept the fact that wife/women in general is no way inferior to them.

Actually i wanted to highlight the gender bias but an doing this through the concept of Wife...........

In India however forward we become economically,we still lag behind in our social stature...............Of course our epics and whatever was written even before 100s of years respected the woman but they typecasted and stereotyped the Indian woman,so anyone faltering from the path is termed SLUT or randi.

A seedha saadha girl is termed innocent and backward and a modern girl with rebellious views is called A BITCH by this society.

Our society has set boundaries for woman and anyone crossing that boundaries is an outcast

Even in BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM parminder nagra(jasminder aka jess) while speaking to a photo of beckham questions...........Why is it that girls should return back home early for help and boys needn't,its so unfair

some more dialogues from the same to highlight this issue

"who would want a daughter in law who kicks football all day and can't make round chappatties"
I mean are woman entities being prepared for an exam called marriage or something....DONT THEY HAVE GOALS....ASPIRATIONS............LIKES...............DISLIKES

Its high time we give woman their due and make them enjoy freedom as much as the boys do.the freedom should be in limits based on situation and not gender

AND FOR GOD'S SAKE NO "HAAN JI BOLIYE" and "oh ji suniye" crap again

ADULT RATED-viewer discretion is recommended(18+)

As soon as you read the above title most of you might have straightened your backs up.The topic is such that most of you are curious to know what is written further.Because there are some words in the country which are considered a taboo.No one is supposed to speak,read,write or show these things on a mass platform.But things like these have become a part of every adoloscent's life.For various reasons you might have already developed an impression on the author and some of your thoughts might be

1.WHAT A CHEAP THING TO WRITE ABOUT.
2.AB TOH MAZAAAAA AAYEGA BHAI......!!!!!!!!!!.
3.Ohh I Havent watched it for over a week,thanks for reminding.Where is the hard disk beh**chod!!!!!!!!!!
4.OHH bhai,Yeh banda stud hai
5.Arey yeh ch**iya studdapa dikha raha hain.

These might be most of your thoughts.And these are my answers to the following thoughts in the same order
1.IT IS THIS "CHEAP" THING YOU RELY ON FOR SATISFACTION.
2.I HOPE YOU WILL.
3.Ohh YEAH..you will definitely feel better watching it than reading this.GOOD CHOICE!!!
4.I ALREADY KNOW THIS.
5.WHY ELSE DO YOU THINK IAM WRITING A BLOG.
And i would like to make one more thing clear.This post is not intended to justify or testify ones habits.We are not making a judgement.Iam just presenting you facts as seen through my eyes and giving my views in my own way.
READER DISCRETION IS RECOMMENDED.

Having given my answers and disclaimer let me start off.
The entire adoloscent period can be resolved into two stages
STAGE 1
The thing starts off somewhere in sixth class.(for me it did).It just happens that when you are changing channels on tv at 11 pm in the night,all of a sudden your hands refuse to go to the next channel because MIDNIGHT HOT is on.Now i need not describe what this MIDNIGHT HOT is.Because as per my peers i started late,most of them started it in 4th std itself.During this period we start to see girls in places other than the face.(DONT KNOW WHERE GIRLS SEE WHEN THEY SEE BOYS)
From FTV,we move on to HBO,AXN,STAR MOVIES,ZEE MGM(now zee studio) because they seem to show better things,especially right after the 9pm movie.Thus starts the nights where we have to study while our parents are asleep,we switch on the tv and watch the channels on mute with one finger on the mute to restart the sound when parents wake up for water and other button which goes back to the prev channel and all these things should be done simultaneously,like waiting for the door sound,clicking on the buttons simultaneously and all this should happen before 1/16th of a second because that is the time it would take for a human to establish what is happening.And most of the times we are successful and when parents ask WHY ARE YOU NOT STUDYING,we are ready with an answer JUST TRYING TO RELAX FOR 1/2 HR BEFORE STARTING TO STUDY AGAIN.This happens for the next 3-4 years.
STAGE 2
When you are in 9th or 10th std,a new gadget comes into most households.THE COMPUTER.Supposedly parents buy it so that his/her child has access to all the knowledge in the world.Friends come to home in large numbers with dvds or cds(in case you dont have internet connection) for COMBINED STUDIES.And the combined studies are done behind closed doors for obvious reasons,the reason said outside is DONT DISTURB,WE HAVE A TEST TOMORROW.Some people might even go to cinema halls far away from their homes to catch a glimpse of it on a large screen.This goes on for the next 2 years.

PORNO STAGE
This stage starts from the middle of 12th class and may last for 2-3 years ending the adoloscent age once and for all.With gained profound knowledge of the computer and internet and its various benifits people resort to porn.More than the need of satisfaction the need for overcome of frustration in academics is the prime reason(especially in iitians).Once we entered iit the habit intensifies because the hostel is full of such people.And it is no longer sin and there is no fear of being caught.Exchange of MAAL is as common as exchange of iit material in 12th std.Normally there are two kinds of people in the hostel(not everyone but 98percent)
1.PEOPLE WHO WATCH PORN.
2.PEOPLE WHO ACT AS IF THEY DONT WATCH PORN.
After 6 months of starting there are no people of type 2 left,because either they are caught or they themselves get the courage to admit it openly.
No matter however SEEDHA a person may look 99 on 100 times he is a porn watcher
EVEN THE TOPPER,EVEN THE NERD,EVEN THE FOOLISH LOOKING,OILED HAIR,THICK SPECTACLED SHORT, THIN MAN IS SOMEONE WHO IS INFLUENCED OR ADDICTED BY IT.
It is during this stage a banana,a carrot and a raddish are seen in more ways than just as a vegetable.
The proof for my claim is non availability of a CERTAIN HARD DISK which had all the MAAL.The owner never had it with him as students always wanted it for obvious reasons.(Damn it ,i got it only once)
It is not that PORN watchers are bad people or bad in academics.There are brilliants ,geniuses who watch it everyday,there are great human beings who watch it everday.THIS LASTS UNTIL THE 3RD YEAR OR MAY BE 4TH AND ULTIMATELY PEOPLE GENERALLY LOSE INTEREST IN IT.
According to my friends even girls are avid porn watchers.They are as much addicted to it as men.Though i have no solid survey,or proof in this regd i heard many such stories but I wont comment on it.
I think PORN is the KAMASUTRA for todays generation(not that it is as scientific,but it enjoys as much stature).Like it or not it is today's generation's guide to sex and it has become such a rage that as per reports The porn industry is bigger than INDIAN FILM INDUSTRY.PORN TODAY IS WHAT KHAJURAHO WAS TO THE MEDIEVAL PERIOD.
DISCLAIMER: THIS POST DOES NOT INTEND TO DISCUSS THE MORALITY ISSUES REGARDING THE FOLLOWING SUBJECT,IT IS A CHOICE OF INDIVIDUAL PERCEPTION.IT IS MY REPRESENTATION OF PRESENT HAPPENINGS IN THE FOLLOWING CONTEXT.THIS POST NOWHERE INTENDS TO GLORIFY THE ABOVE MENTIONED ACTIVITIES.

No problem,NO KICK

Life has been going on smoothly lately,and thats been my main problem.Because when everything is going on smoothly and there is no problem that in itself becomes the main problem.Now this is a state everyone has been through but cant define why exactly you are feeling so.The reason is NO KICK.The post came out because off late i saw the movie "KICK" 4 times in 1 day.Lets define KICK.

Its very difficult to define KICK but closely it is the feeling when you achieve something unachievable or dangerous.Its the feeling when you pull off something unimaginable.

If you have never experienced KICK in your life,let me describe you the feeling.Imagine a situation when you have to urgently attend nature's call.You realise that all bathrooms are occupied.As all of you know nature cant wait and so cant you.So you lose all hope and just then someone comes out of the bathroom.Imagine the feeling of satisfaction you feel as if you have won a war.KICK is a similar feeling though not same.

Off late i have been playing a lot of cricket,sometimes even for 3 hours a day,but i realized i was not getting the pleasure i used to get when i played cricket during the time of majors.When i thought of the possible reasons,they were

1.NOW I HAVE A LOT OF TIME IN HAND,PLAYING CRICKET WAS SOMETHING EASILY AVAILABLE.
2.when majors were in progress i had to earn free time by studying fast ,i had to earn the time which gave me immense satisfaction while playing cricket.
3.SINCE I WAS STRESSED OUT DURING MAJORS,CRICKET WORKED AS A STRESS BUSTER,NOW ITS MERELY AN EXERCISE.
4.(MOST IMPORTANT)ALL MY FRIENDS WERE STUDYING AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE PRACTISING CRICKET WHICH GAVE ME A LOT OF KICK

if u observe all the above reasons one point is common.It is better to have a problem and solve it than having no problem at all.because the bottom line

SOLVING A PROBLEM DOES NOT JUST GIVE YOU A SOLUTION,IT GIVES YOU A KICK.

Let me take another example

When an exam finishes,when i see the reaction of my friends,these are some of the reactions i notice

1.TOPPERS(CG>9.00):Yeah,the exam is over,lets prepare for the next one
2.ABOVE AVG(CG>8.00):Oh,i got that one wrong,shit yaar
3.AVG AND BELOW AVG(CG<8.00):OHH BEHENCHOD!!! JO MAIN LAST 5 MIN MEIN PADHA WOH SEEDHA AA GAYA,POORA CHEP DIYA,MAST HUA,MAIN SOCH RAHA THA FAIL HOONGA,LEKIN PASS JAROOR HONGA,MAST HAI YAAR BEHENCHOD!!!!!!!

It is very obvious that the last group experiences more KICK than anybody else.

When i asked kaustubh aka costume WHY DONT YOU GET YOURSELF A GIRLFRIEND? He replied getting "A GIRLFRIEND" is not an issue and that is easily available.but getting yourself THE BEST GIRL is important as they are rare and even the ones who exist are not easily available.getting such girl as your girlfriend gives him the real KICK.

SO THE POINT I WANT TO PUT FORWARD IS

KICK LIES IN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO COMPLICATE THEIR LIVES AND SOLVE IT THEMSELVES.

may everyone be blessed with the best of KICK in their lives

DISCLAIMER:1.THOUGH MY CG IS 8.42 I BELONG TO THE 3rd GROUP
NOTE:ANY GIRL WHO THINKS SHE IS THE BEST CAN APPROACH KAUSTUBH AS I ASSURE YOU HE IS THE BEST AFTER ME

2000-2010

RECENTLY I CALCULATED THE AMOUNT I SPENT DURING THE PAST SEMESTER.THAT COST INCLUDES ONLY MY ENTERTAINMENT AND REFRESHMENT EXPENSES LIKE HOTELS,CINEMAS ETC.I CALCULATED AND IT CAME OUT TO BE Rs 17000 IN 4 MONTHS.I SPENT ON AN AVERAGE 4K A MONTH.THATS THE AVERAGE PER CAPITA INCOME OF AN AVERAGE INDIAN.SO IAM SPENDING AN INDIAN'S LIVELIHOOD JUST FOR MY EXPENSES.THIS IS IN 2010.

I STILL REMEMBER JUST ABOUT A DECADE AGO,I WOULD BEG MY MOTHER TO GIVE ME 1 RUPEE TO BUY bigfun,A KIND OF BUBBLEGUM.THAT WAS THE MAX I COULD EXPECT FROM MY MOM.WHEN SOMEONE CAME HOME AND GAVE A 50 RUPEES,I WUD THINK OF ALL THE WAYS OF SPENDING IT.SO 5O RUPEES WAS SOMETHING UNMANAGABLE TO ME.FROM NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW TO SPEND 50 RS TO TODAY WHERE EVEN 500 DOES NOT SEEM SUFFICIENT.AND THAT TOO IN A SPAN OF 10 YEARS.

WHAT ALL HAVE CHANGED IN THE MEANTIME

1.AGE
2.MATURITY
3.OUTSIDE WORLD

THOUGH THE EFFECTS OF FIRST TWO CANT BE REMOVED WHAT IAM AFRAID OF IS THE OUTSIDE WORLD
IT IS CHANGING AT SUCH A RAPID PACE THAT 10 YEARS AGO I DINT EVEN KNOW THAT SUCH A THING CALLED PIZZA OR BURGER EXISTS.
THE BEST WE ATE FOR EVENING SNACKS IS DOSA OR MIRCHI.

POPCORN WAS THE BEST WE COULD HOPE FOR IN TERMS OF MODERN FOOD ITEMS.

TODAY THERE ARE ABOUT 15 PIZZA JOINTS IN NELLORE ONLY.

I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS SUCH A CUISINE AS CONTINENTAL,THAI ETC ETC.THE WORLD HAS CHANGED IN A JIFFY.

MY BIRTHDAY DRESS COSTED RS 600 GENERALLY.
NOW IAM NOT GETTING A 3/4TH WITH THE SAME AMOUNT.

SO THE POINT IAM TRYING TO MAKE IS WE CANT STOP THE RAPID PACE OF CHANGE

BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY LEARN TO NOT GET INFLUENCED TOO MUCH BY IT.

THESE DAYS PARENTS GET THEIR CHILDREN EVERYTHING WITHOUT SAYING NO.MY BRO,MY COUSIN KEEP DEMANDING THINGS FROM PARENTS AND GET IT DONE.

WHEN I ASK MY FATHER AND UNCLE THEY SAY IF WE CAN AFFORD THEN WHY NOT.

BUT ARENT WE SPOON FEEDING THE KIDS.THEY GET EVERYTHING THEY WANT,SO INFUTURE IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL LIVES CAN THEY BEAR IF THEIR GOALS ARE NOT MET.

WE SHOULD GIVE THE KIDS NOT ONLY HAPPINESS BUT ALSO A TASTE OF FAILURE,DESPAIR TO MAKE THEM WELL PREPARED FOR THE WORLD.

GRACIOUS ACCEPTANCE OF DEFEAT CANT BE ACHIVED WITH THE MODERN UPBRINGING.THAT IS WHY I DONT APPROVE THE YO-YO GENERATION AND THE WAY THEY ARE BEING BROUGHT UP.

BECAUSE IT IS NOT ABOUT HOW MANY GADGETS YOU HAVE,ITS ABOUT KNOWING WHETHER U REALLY NEED IT OR NEED IT BECAUSE THE NEIGHBOURING KID IS HAVING IT

note:the post is arbitrarily written,so its not that good and whoever read it please comment because those who read it and dont comment are not acknowledging the author and giving him the due credit

RACIST VIEWS OF SREERAM

I consider myself completely unracist,i judge people by the content of their head and not the colour of skin or place of birth.This is done purely on individual basis.But when one has to judge a group in particular like say Asians,americans,punjabis,bengalis you generally take into account the general tendencies of all the people,like taking xf(x)dx over the whole real axis and finding the mean tendencies(cant help it,too much probability this semester).So when that is done the views expressed might sound racial,but since that is not being done on an individual basis,i think it does not account to racism,but if u prefer to think so,yes Iam a racist.

Now why did i want to write about this.The simple reason is i got frustrated with a few people over the past few months.When i tried to find out the common features they predominantly belonged to 2 sets of people.Since i have experienced the wrath of only these two sets so far let me discuss only these two groups.1.PUNJABIS
2.SOUTH INDIANS(predominantly from andhra pradesh)

PUNJABIS:They are too honest and their over honesty and the lack of diplomacy is what irritates me the most.Personally i dont think this lot believes in what is called personal space and individual freedom.Like say if some person is my friend,he should do whatever i say since iam his friend.Its like people are taken for granted.Theres loud music until late in the night if your family member is getting married and thats why the whole town should not sleep,so forget sleeping the night your neighbour is getting married.They think with their heart and thats why they are very emotional and aggressive.If you dint ever have the chance of seeing a street fight in punjab,you have missed a great action sequence,the masala equivalent of this episode is higher than magadheera,pokiri and wanted put together.And i just dont get the point of using behen..od,madarch.d just for the sake of it.i mean they have lost their significance and are no longer treated as abuses but treated as a way of referral just like "hey sreeram come here"="behench.d idhar aaja".These abuses no longer insult you and the purpose of their creation is being destroyed.

I consider this lot to be religiously very active(read fanatic) but that should be none of my business as its a personal option but what iam trying to say is if some person has died in vienna why do you stop trains in amritsar.(ya it happened recently).The richest person in nellore wont be celebrating his marriage half as grandly as a middle class person in punjab(spend thrifts) but thats again none of my business.

But the people have an extreme honest attitude and i respect them for that.They are extremely hardworking lot and i see no way in which they can harm somebody.Atleast i think they are better than the next lot.

SOUTH INDIANS:
Since i,myself am a south indian initially i could not notice the drawbacks of this lot,because you can only find the negatives if you are not one among them.If you asked my punjabi friends they will tell you what a big bore they can be.Firstly they are a big bore(does not include me because iam above trivial things like race ,caste ,religion and nationality)and i believe are not open to new ideas.they loathe adventure and are too self disciplined and even thats a show off.highly hippocritic and overly sincere and hate change.

They live by rules or so they say,are too diplomatic to my liking.infact if two telugus meet for the first time,the question that would be lingering in their minds is "what is this fellows caste".If i go back home the questions most of my relatives would be asking is"are there any people from andhra pradesh(now that does not include telangana i guess)","do you get our food(rice ,sambhar,rasam,papad,avakaya(a kind of mango pickle)"

Some would even go to the extent of asking is there any good looking girl from our caste(you might have understood why).i feel like ripping apart the brain of theirs.What did god make that with.They hang out in small,isolated groups and dont socialise with people from other sects.And if your professor is a southie forget about him being friendly,he would set the toughest exams and give the lowest grades and some of them would love to see their students fail(most of you might know whom i am referring to)

though these are just stereotypes,they are true nevertheless,iam not saying everyone is like the same but iam saying its a mean tendency

and please dont abuse me for this racial abuse of various sects.its just an opinion and for creating gentle humour.

RAJNI KANTH-NOT A HUMAN BUT A PHENOMENON

Yeah,you heard it right,i dare anyone to say Rajni kanth is normal.His life is the type fairy tales are made of.If there is one person whose life proves that rags to riches stories indeed come true,it is RAJNI KANTH.

RAJNI KANTH was born as shivaji rao gaekwad(his true name).he was a marathi born in bangalore.he was a carpenter who turned coolie turned bus conductor turned actor.

Who would have thought that this bus conductor from bangalore who does not know tamil would rule the industry in the next decade.Who thought this dark looking average man would influence the politics of Tamil nadu.Who thought in 15 years time,the then PRIME MINISTER PV NARASIMHA RAO would request Rajni kanth to join the congress.Thats Rajni kanth for you.

Currently the highest paid actor in ASIA after JACKIE CHAN, never dreamt of becoming an actor.in his own words he said"When i was a bus conductor i only had two wishes to be fulfiled.I wanted to buy a chetak vespa(a scooter) and have a packet of malboro always in my pocket.It is said passengers thronged into his bus just to have a glimpse of his style.the style with which he cut the ticket and gave change was the first taste of style from this man the public had.

If you never had the chance of seeing a RAJNI KANTH movie on a first day you have misses one of the most celebrated melas in INDIA.i have seen it.The 60 feet long cut out is bathed in milk and whisky,fans cut their fingers and put tilak on the cutout.And the tickets sold in black sometimes goes to as high as thousand times the original prize.No other film dares to get released in the same month.It is said a rajni kanths flop film will collect more than the next best heros blockbuster.he is a rage.Directors cannot 'kill off' his character in the movie for fear that the theatre will be burnt down to prevent future runnings of the movie by his 'crazed' fans who consider him almost a god. He is said to "explode like a tiger on screen".

There are fans who commit suicide when his film flops,there are some who cut their tongues if his film is a hit.

Behind all the success he enjoys is a man deep in thought.He probably is the only actor in India who comes into public sans any make up.he is bald,he is dark skinned but never afraid to show his true self.In his own words he had inferiority complex of being dark skinned as a child.but now he says if iam ashamed of my true self,there is no point in living.He is a very spiritual person

Once he had visited a temple in disguise of a beggar lest he would be mobbed.one woman mistook rajni for a beggar and gave him money which he took.when the woman realised after a few minutes he was rajni kanth,she went and apologised and asked him to give back the money as she dint want to insult him.Rajni replied"this is god's way of showing my true status in this world,iam a beggar.it is gods way of grounding me and making me humble.he said through this god said"you minus your glamour are a beggar"

Rajni kanth gets the highest remuneration in india even more than the bollywood counterparts.RAJNI is restricted to the tamil and telugu industry predominantly which is about 1/3rd times of the bollywood viewers,but he commands 3 as much as them.

But the point to be noticed his it is said most (almost 75 percent) goes into charity.He wears simple clothes,the watch he uses is the one he is been using from the past two decades and the car is the one he first bought.the clothes on his body wont cost more than a few hundred rupees.

Many people say rajni kanths films are crap and his stunts defy laws of physics and joke about him.But i question people still enjoy those because he is RAJNI KANTH.its not about the stunts its about the person.if it was any other people wont accept it,but if it were rajni it must be true because rajni is no human.

THATS RAJNI KANTH FOR YOU,NOT A HUMAN -HES A PHENOMENON

A BOY,HIS FRIEND AND FRIEND'S SISTER

Going by the title of this post,dont have any misconceptions that THE BOY refers to me.I just put the title as it sounded good.This post is dedicated to many of my friends especially roomates whose inputs have been frank and very useful.Now I want to discuss the age old question.IS TO WRONG TO HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH YOUR FRIENDS SISTER OR YOUR BROTHERS FRIEND.

Just for fun when i asked my friends how they would feel if i had an affair with his sister the responses were varied.

1.Jaan se maar doonga
2.Its a sin,how can u cheat your friend.
3.Depends on whom she is having an affair with,a jerk like you,no way,i wont allow this
4.Its ok,its her and your wish,we cant force anyone.

All the persons i asked this question said even though they knew what they were doing is not right,when it comes to sister,they cant stand the thought of her having an affair.

Here comes the big question.MOST OF MY FRIENDS EITHER HAVE A GIRLFRIEND OR ARE DESPERATE TO HAVE ONE.

So isnt his girlfriend somebody else's sister.So why does this thing which appeared right and correct to them in their girlfriend's case not applicable when his sister is somebody else's girlfriend.

Iam not acting like a saint.Even if I had a sister may be even i would have thought as my friends were.So what is it that comes in way of our thinking.

Is it because of the way we treat our women in our culture.Is it because we think our sisters are incapable of taking their own decisions.Is it because we dont want somebody to do those things to our sister that we do to our girlfriend.(I dont have one,i meant others)

I personally think its a mixture of all the above factors.It bites us when you come to know our sisters are somebody else's girlfriend.We want our sisters to be AMRITA RAO in VIVAAH,but want our girlfriends to be like KATRINA KAIF in RACE.

Its a concern for members of the family that the girl should not do anything against family pride.They dont want a situation like neighbours discussing her life.And in a country like ours,with the type of culture we are accustommed to,neighbours love love affairs in others houses.Gives them a masala topic to chitchat,like an MMS SCANDAL keeps tv channels buzzing with excitement.

So in INDIA,Where people take family pride and honous more important than family itself,this is exactly how it would be.

please comment on this issue,i know everyone would have a thing or two to say.

DISCLAIMER:In this post i have not hurt sentiments of anyone nor critisized anyone,i just said this exists in family of every person reading it,I and my family are no different,I was not trying to be judgemental.So if it hurt anyones sentiments in particular,please let me know personally.

"SO CALLED INTELLECTUALS"

The continuation for the previous post(lust part 2) will not be written because my co author and friend say it is too bold and raw and crude for people to perceieve(i had written it but later deleted it)So I apologize.here comes the new post.And this one is written in just a haste ,so it will neither have order nor humour nor grammar,so please bear with it


There is one great dialogue from a Rajni kanth movie 'BABA'.It is something like this"a wise man does not speak and a foolish man cannot be without speaking".I like this dialogue for primarily two reasons
1.It came from the mouth of RAJNI KANTH
2.It refers to the people i see around me in my everyday life and especially at IIT.
Because we(the so called intellectuals) come from IIT(the so called best college for engineering)people expect us to know everything.Recently when i went home for holidays the motor that draws water stopped working.

Suddenly my mom called me and asked what subjects i had studied the previous semester.i started replying 1.DIGITAL ELECTRONICS 2.MATERIAL SCIENCE 3.ELECTROMACHINERY.

Then she asked me to stop and asked what i studied in electromachinery.when she learnt that i had learnt about transformers and motors,she asked me if i could repair the motor.my first dialogue"what a joke",second dialogue"what the f..k",though the second was only in my mind and in my own language.

When i replied that i cudnot,she said isnt a mechanic better than you then.

I thought she had a point.

A mechanic who never might have gone beyond 10th class,never dreamt of engineering knows better than anyone of us the working of a motor and he knows everything about it.And he is not going to forget it like we do after a semester ends.

So isnt everything we are being taught and we have been learning nothing in comparision to what we call as "experience".So we the so called intellectuals are nothing when compared to people who have not even studied half as much as we do.

Thats what i think is wrong in the system,its high time we realised education is beyond the walls of the classroom,should cross the boundaries of school and should come out from the confines of the text book.
ALL THE ABOVE WRITTEN THING IS IN RESPONSE TO PEOPLES PERCEPTION OF IITIANS.AND ALL THAT I WRITE BELOW IS IN RESPONSE TO MY PERCEPTION OF IITIANS(WHICH INCLUDES ME)

note:the followingt subject matter contains references inappropriate to hypocrites
all views expressed below are the words of the author(that is me) and his friend(suman).the website takes no moral,financial responsibilities.

Because this post refers to my friends i will use capital letters to refer them and not by name.

Two days back i went into K's room.K was seeing a movie on his laptop(an english one).I also saw the film for about two minutes and realised that a girl was playing in a men's football match.I asked K why the girl was playing.He said she was dressed like a man and playing.I had no problem with the film or its storyline.The movie was SHE's THE MAN.But I had a problem with K.Because the same K told RAB NE BANA DI JODI was an illogical film and questioned as to why the heroine couldnot identify shah rukh after he has removed his moustache.I replied that it was a film and he indeed looked different which he refused to accept.So now i have a problem with K if RNBDJ appeared illogical how come you liked SHE's THE MAN.And with the extra assets the girl had it would be very easy to say she's a woman in the football attire of hers.

This is just one instance.100 such incidents happen everday.

The answer though untold by K(or any other) is very simple.It is written on their faces

HOLLYWOOD DOES NOT AND WILL NOT MAKE MISTAKES.BOLLYWOOD DOES NOT AND WILL NOT MAKE GOOD FILMS.

What I'm trying to say is people take pride in ridiculing their own habits and style and appreciating others as that would mean he was much higher than his own fellowmen.

It makes themselves believe they are cool and intelligent.

This is what i call 'I'm the STUD' syndrome.

People act like pseudo intellectuals just to say to themselves"ALL IZZ WELL AND I'm ALSO A STUD"

NOTE:Though the message i wanted to say is conveyed,the style of writing is in view of creating humour(if it created any) and i hope it wont be taken personally.

IMPORTANT NOTE:K is a stud and an intellectual except for that one meeting
