Chetan Bhagat is one more buzz word in India today. He has got unique style of writing which makes simple things very interesting. You can easily relate to his stories.
The thing I like about his books is he has small little revolutionary thoughts which he conveys in a very simpler way through his characters. I can feel his love for India in every story by him. And I feel he is trying to change the thoughts of Indian youth through his books. He might not be great writer as Arundhati Roy but he is reaching to roots of India. He criticizes the system, the characters in his stories are passionate and try to do all sort of weird stuff to make it possible which is sometimes very unrealistic.
The only thing I don’t like is at times he gets too dramatic like Bollywood movies that the story doesn’t give realistic feel and reader get feeling ‘yeh to sirf movie (CB ke stories) me hota hein’.
Do read CB’s books he is not that bad. J

Ideal Match
Thanks for the overwhelming response to my last blog. Its really good to know different views of people.
We talked about love, we talked about relationship, shall we talk about Ideal Match now?
For me Ideal Match is compatible match. The ideal for me may not be ideal for you. Everyone has some expectations for his or her dream partner. I had read somewhere, every human has emotional needs, intellectual needs and sexual needs. When these needs are met by the partner, one enjoys the relation.
I guess apart from this, your values, your beliefs, your lifestyle, your goal of life should match or compliment the other. Its very important to respect one another. One should able to accept the other with all his/her flaws. I guess one should also think about would you like the other person to be mother or father of your kid.
In India marriage is not limited to only two individuals. Marriage is a ceremony of getting two families together. So once two individuals decide to get married its equally important that both families to accept it to have smoother life ahead.
I know nothing is perfect. But we can always try to make it perfect.
Well guys, these are my thoughts about Ideal Match and Marriage. I would love to know yours.

The Changing Trend
Sometimes I wonder whether Bollywood influences the thinking of public or public behavor influences Bollywood.
Earlier movies used to show love between rich and poor. For the two lovers achieving their love used to be ultimate goal of the life. The commitment used to be default part of the love. Physical relation before marriage used to be taken as mistake of the life.
Now the trend is changing, people love each other but they are not ready for commitment, especially according to Bollywood movies males hesitate to give commitment. They don’t understand that they are in love. Physical relation before marriage is very common thing. I guess India is still not ready to accept girl getting into relation without commitment from her side. As of now in all movies like ‘Hum Tum’, ‘Love Aaj Kal’, ‘Paa’, ‘Salam Namaste’ females are portrayed to be committed.
Females are becoming independent economically and emotionally that could be the reason of this change. But I don’t understand changed behavior of guys of hesitating for commitment or they not realizing they loving someone. Why don’t they get ready to take responsibility? Somebody please help me out here to understand.
I won’t wonder if I get to see single females, single mothers living proud life. I wont wonder to see many divorcees. I wont wonder to see single fathers. I won’t wonder if concepts like ‘single woman man’ or ‘single man woman’ no longer exist in reality.
Don’t know the change is good or bad. But change is inevitable.

Paa – What does it want to convey? Vision India 2020?
The movie is not about the difficulties that a progeria patient has to face. It just tells you what the disease progeria is.
And I felt its about vision India 2020 :-)
The movie tells us how the politicians should be.
The movie talks about how media is, how media should not misuse its power.
The movie talks about new India where female can be a proud single mother. I guess that’s revolutionary thought.

2 States – CB did not click this time
Well, I got disappointed with the topic CB chose, one more love story in market. For the people who like love stories might have different opinion and would love to know their views on the book. Its just CB’s writing style compelled me complete the book otherwise it’s pathetic, unrealistic. Its high time CB should write realistic stories.
The only good thing about the book is writing style which has already clicked and only one thought in book, the present generation of India should go for inter cast, interstate, inter religion marriage so that next generation of India will be only Indian.

Ladies Day Out
Last evening I spent time with my colleagues, we were roaming from 7:30 pm till 11:00 pm on Mumbai streets. Well the scene is very common here in Mumbai. Then you must be wondering what’s there to blog about it.
Yes, very true. I did not do anything which I did not do earlier. But certainly I did it after along time. After a long time I got girls company to freak out without caring a damn about the world who can enjoy late at night without boys around them. After a long time I did typical girls talk, we giggled, we shared few secrets, we shared our thoughts about life, we spoke about Mr Virappna & Mr. Osama (don’t ask what did we talk about them,that’s top secret, in next outing we will surely talk about Mr. Obama). Gals, I hope this is just a beginning.
You must be still wondering what’s so great about it. The great thing is here I get impressed with gals who can live their life independently, who can enjoy there life without males around them. I just hate girls who feel insecure when guys are not around them especially late in the evening or while traveling outside city. I can proudly say I have traveled in bus from one city to other overnight not because I had no other option. I did it because I wanted to explore life. The girl should have just little common sense what to wear, where to go, whom to talk, how to talk and how to behave nothing goes wrong (obviously there are exceptional cases but then I would say if it is destined to happen it will happen at most secured and safe place as well). Most of the girls in India have mindset of being dependant on guys whatever form as friend, as boyfriend, as husband. Once girl gets married her world is around the guy. Guys continue to enjoy their personal life but girl by her own choice is left with no personal life. But good to see that things are little changing now.
The moral I just love girls enjoying life independently. Thanks for God to give me such a amazing parents who never treated me differently because I am a girl or who never restricted me to do anything because I am girl rather they taught me right from my childhood to deal with this world. I also should thank God to give me birth in this city which treats girls with respect and equality. (Now its difficult for me to live in a place which is not safe for female)
So to conclude, Thanks Shreya and Sanchiti for last evening. Hope we will have many more like this and we will go out as well.

Can somebody tell me the reason of why am I here?
Do you ever get these kind of thoughts? Or I am the only stupid to think like this?
I have read, God has purpose for every life. Then why doesn’t he disclose to every individual. If one gets to know why is he or she on this planet he will be focused and work towards it.
I believe in theory of Karma so keep doing good things is the only thing I should do I guess. How will I survive in this world then God knows.
If God has given me birth its his duty to get good things done from me. I guess I should not bother about it. What say??
You guys must be thinking how stupid I am to write this one!

Wake Up Sid
Hey guys it’s a very good movie. Do watch it.
You must be thinking whats so great about the movie to write a blog.. well… its just I liked it…too many thoughts occupied my mind… I thought I should blog it and then I decided to watch it again :)
The first thought while watching the movie, I could relate myself with Ayesha. The girl wants to be independent in life so comes to mumbai leaving her own Kolkata, she has some dreams, goal for life and she working towards it. She achieves what she wants to be and in her journey she meets a friend to share her joy, her achievements, her struggle.
And this reminded my life at Blore. Isn’t it similar? I met so many people at blore and now they are my forever friends. Doston tumhi ne to meri Blore life itni special banai.
Ayesha wants to be writer and her first article in ‘New Girl in City’ which is very much similar to my second blog (This would have been my first blog if mumbai was not gone under water) http://dilserey.blogspot.com/2005/08/my-bangalore-stay.html The only difference she makes the boy lifepartner and I had too many friends including boys and girls to be in love with :) But I miss you a lot.
Second thought, doston please watch this movie and tell me can a boy be so cute and innocent. I am yet to meet such a guy :) (I am expecting comment on this, guys n gals bas toot pado)
After that they are many good things to write about the movie… the story about Sid. Guys, I am not going to write about this as you can read reviews of this movie.
Fourth thought, earlier was my third one :)
Ranbhir Kapoor.... Rishi Kapoor and Nitu Singh must be feeling very proud to see their son acting so well. Konkana was the reason for me going for this reason but Ranbhir too has acted well. Being a kid of successful parents is difficult thing. Kids get all the luxury in their early age and they have to handle the pressure of living to people’s expectations.
Fifth thought, if my mamu was there, who was writer, director, producer of few serials, I would have helped him in his work. I miss you mamu, I miss your discussions. When you were there I was too immature to help you.

I Think This Is My Most Fav Song
Ha, ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha
Yeh raat yeh chaandni phir kahaan, sun jaa dil ki daastaan -2
Hm hm hm, hm hm hm
Hey pedo ki shaakhon pe
Pedo ki shaakhon pe soyi soyi chaandni, pedo ki shaakhon pe
Tere khayaalon mein khoyi khoyi chaandni
Aur thodi der mein thak ke laut jaayegi
Raat yeh bahar ki phir kabhi na aayegi
Do ek pal aur hai yeh samaa, sun ja dil ki daastaan
Hm hm hm, hm hm hm
Hey lehron ke hontho pe
Lehron ke hontho pe dheema dheema raag hai, lehron ke hontho pe
Bheegi hawaaon mein thandi thandhi aag hai
Is haseen aag mein tu bhi jalke dekhle
Zindagi ke geet ki dhun badal ke dekhle
Khulne de ab dhadkano ki zubaan, sun ja dil ki daastaan
Hey jaati bahaare hain
Jaati bahaare hain uthti jawaaniyan, jaati bahaare hain
Taaron ke chaaon mein pehle kahaaniyaan
(Ek baar chal diye gar tujhe pukaarke
Lautkar na aayenge qaafilen bahaar ke) -2
Aaja abhi zindagi hai jawaan, sun ja dil ki daastaan
Yeh raat yeh chaandni phir kahaan, sun jaa dil ki daastaan
Daastaan, daastaan
Film : Jaal
Year : 1967

Lets talk about Love
There are three concepts I am curious about in my life.
First what is God, Second what is Love and third is there Ghost/Evil/Spirit in this world.
The first I have already wrote, today its time to write about second. And friends I expect lot of comments on this blog as I feel this topic is close to everyone’s heart.
Well let me start, I remember Deepika (my friend) had asked me once, “varada what is love?” and I had replied there is nothing called love. People are so practical in today’s world that I doubt people who claim theirs is love marriage, I don’t have idea about yesteryears.
I would define love = friendship + physical attraction + commitment (third might be contradictory)
When you truly love someone you feel good, you care for that person and you do the things more for other person than for self. You sacrifice for the other person and still you are happy. You just want the other person to be happy and that becomes the ultimate goal of your life. It gives different meaning to your life.
And people who get opportunity to spend entire life with their love are the people blessed by God.
Friends, now its your turn to add to this.

What is GOD.......
I always wonder ‘What is GOD’, Sometimes I doubt existence of GOD?
Whenever I find short and sweet definition of GOD, I am going to add it in this blog and I also would like you to add to it.
GOD stands for Generator, Operator and Destroyer. The present moment has generated, the present moment is operating and the present moment destroyed the past. So, you are in GOD…. And GOD is in you.

My Inspiration My Idol - Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar
Dilse would not complete if I don’t blog about What is Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar for me. I am not going to write about Sachin’s game or his records, you can anytime anywhere will get to read about it but just why is he Idol for me.
I was thinking of writing this since I started blogging but somehow it wasn’t coming Dilse. Yesterday he achieved one more title of highest run getter in test matches and I thought this could be the right occasion to salute the Wonder Boy.
Well I was never cricket lover till I had not seen little master batting. Sachin had debut in international cricket when he was just 16. I was just aware of this fact but not actually watched him playing. One of my friends in school was crazy for this wonder boy and I got curious to see his game. The first series I watched in 1991 sharjah series which we lost against Pakis and Sanjay Manjrekar was declared man of the series. And here onwards one more person got added to Indian cricket lovers.
After Sharjah, Indian team went on a tour to Australia followed by 1992 world cup. And Tendlya was at his best in these tournaments. News papers were flooded with the articles praising master blaster saying Sachin should bat on number 1 to 10. He was just 18 then. India lost both the series and the world cup but I had fallen in love with cricket and Sachchu:). I still remember, my 10th board exam was on and instead of last minute preparations I used to watch every ball of delivered till I leave home for my exam.
Here onwards I started reading every bit of Indian cricket, Sachin, Sanjay Manjrekar, Kapil Dev, Vinod Kambli. I started reading magazines like sports star, sports world, marathi magazine by Sandeep Patil – Shatkar..what not. I also read one Hindi magazine don’t remember the name now but I had bought it since it has some article on Sachin, I guess that’s the only one which I read in Hindi:).
His Dedication, Determination, Hardwork inspired me to be more serious, little ambitious in my studies. I had pasted Sachin’s poster in front of my seat near my study table. He was motivation for me, if Sachin can do at 16 why cant I. I just wanted (rather still would love) to be 0.01% like him.
The unique thing about him is even after being so successful, famous, rich at such a early age he is so humble so down to earth. He doesn’t get into controversies. There is no man who talks ill about him. He is God’s son to be loved by everyone. He is God to many. He is man with strong values. He exercises his vote whenever he is in country during elections. Please someone let me know one incident when he misbehaved, over reacted. He still enjoys cricket, he is still as sincere on ground as he used to be. What else one can expect from a man. For me he is the best example of great human and Indian citizen.
The wildest dream I have in my life is Sachin would know me personally:)
Hats off to this Son of India.
Here are few pics of him from my collection

Beauty : Boon or Curse
This is one real story I heard it from one of my friends. The story is from Orisa. The story is of a beautiful girl from his collage. Lets name the girl Neelam.
Neelam was extraordinarily beautiful girl from middle class family studying MCA course. She was as good at her heart as she was by her looks. When she was in her final year she announced in her class that she got engaged. The proposal was from very rich well known family in the town, the family was also having some political background. Obviously everyone was very happy to know this news. From very next day Neelam started coming in a car. The driver used to wait for her till her class gets over.
And finally the D date arrived. Everyone in the class was invited for the marriage. This was the first marriage of their classmates. They reached at the wedding place with lots of enthusiasm. Their eyes were searching for the lucky chap, Mr Groom. And everyone got shock to see the groom. Few of the girls (closed friends of Neelam) started crying. Boys were confused and didn’t know how to handle their crying girl friends in wedding.
The groom was very old to the bride. Everyone was in dilemma as they should be happy for the bride as she is going to be part of the very rich and well known family or they should be sad for she is getting married to not at all good looking, older guy. The girls started crying thinking the pressure the girl and her family might have felt to say yes for this proposal as the family has political background. If they had said No to them the girl would have been in the worse situation. In short, wo log use utha le jaate.
Now friends tell me, is Beauty boon or curse?

Once again Chetan Bhagat struck : The 3 mistakes of my life
To me this is the best book Chetan Bhagat have written till now.
As it’s a story of a young man who committed suicide, it’s a tragic story.
As the name suggest its about mistakes the man made in his life, its about business, cricket and religion.
Its about passion, friendship.
You get to know more about Gujrath, thinking style of people in Gujrath, how passionate they are about their religion.
The book narrates the pains the Gujrath had gone through during Bhuj Earthquake, Godhra riots, everything is unimaginable.
I literally cried while reading this book.

Amazing book by Chetan Bhagat, I liked it more than ‘Five Point Someone’. Most of the people liked ‘Five Point Someone’ than this one.
For me the hero of this book is the activist character Varun known as Vroom in his friend circle. I could relate to this character more as I could see Vroom in me. His thought are very much similar to mine.
The guy earlier used to work as journalist trainee. His famous piece was called ‘Why Don’t Politicians Commit Suicide?’. The article said All kind of people commit suicide – students, housewives, businessmen, even film stars – but politicians never do. Vroom’s point was that Suicide is very horrible think to do and one does only because he is badly hurt. But Politicians don’t do. So basically this country is run by the people who don’t feel anything.
I am amazingly impressed with this thought, till now I never thought of this.
This guy is constantly thinking about how India will overtake US, how the living standards will improve in India and how can I contribute to it.
The guy is confused between how much importance he should give to money.. I mean what he should do just think about earning money or doing something which will help his countrymen.
The author has basically shown the problems faced by Indian youth who have just come out of collages and joined the Industry and facing the life. They have dreams in their eyes but realizing the heat in life. They come across with manager who is a loser and how is he ruining the others life in process of making his own.
There is one more character Shyam who is having affair with Priyanka and is almost about to lose her, rather have lost her but at the end gets her back.
The story talks about friendship.
So the story covers almost all the possible problems that young crowd can face in their life.
The story will sound boring but Chetan Bhagat has written it in such a beautiful and funny way, the story is all about enthusiasm as its about youngsters.
The story gets a little unrealistic when they (people at call center)get call from God and the god tell them the key to success. But the author has mentioned in his prologue and epilogue the objective behind this book is – He wants to write something which tells about present Indian youth, probably he wants to guide them by telling key to success.
Friends, its worth reading this book.

Laloo is coming to Mumbai to perform Chhat Pooja
Why cant politicians think about doing some constructive work rather than this nuisance. Doesn’t he have any better think to do?
Politics is just game of numbers. No of Votes, no of seats. That’s the only think the politicians are concerned about.
I cant think of Mumbai or Maharashtra going in hands of Lalooji or Amarasingh just because the population of Upites is growing in Maharashtra. Mumbai or Maharashtra has also voted for non Maharashtrians like Jayantibai Mehta, Kirit Somaiya, etc. Maharashtrians allow people from other stats to come here and settle that doesn’t mean the political parties from other states will also be allowed to rule here.
It had happened in around sixties, Gujrath had claimed Mumbai to be part of Gujrath as Gujrathi population was more than Maharashtrian. Maharashtra had to fight for it, people have lost their lives for this. Hutatma Chowk has been built in memory of these people. I hope the history wont repeat this time.
I would love to see Lalooji and Amarsinghji getting busy in creating better opportunities, improving living standards in Bihar and UP.

Mumbai & Bangalore
Heyyy blogigng after looooooooooong time. Many of you asked me for not blogging but there was no any topic which touched my heart to blog. But today I got the topic to and it clicked this way.
The TV show on CNN IBN and topic was Bangalore vs Karnatika. The occasion was Karnataka assembly elections. As I stayed in Bangalore almost for 3 years, I guess that’s enough time to fall in love with Bangalore, how can I refrain myself from blogging.
Bangalore, the Silicon Valley of India. Yup, now Bangalore is nomore only of Karnatakas, it has become Mini India. People from all over India are coming to this city. And I think its gona face same problems as that of Mumbai. Karnatikas are worried about the changing culture of Bangalore. The fear of losing karnatika culture, fear of karnatika population leading towards minority population in Bangalore, rallies against non karnatikas. Similar things keep happening in Mumbai as well by Marathi people, Shivsena and now MNS. Bangalore is on the same line.
I really don’t know what is right and what is wrong, Mumbai has lost its identity as Marathi Mumbai long back. People from all the parts of India come here and stay together. Same way I did not face any problem being non karnatika at Bangalore. But yes, Bangalore is changing rapidly. The change is inevitable but still I feel the city should not lose its own charm.
IT city is getting young crowd in the city, most of this people are staying without family, so no family restrictions on them. Bangalore is also getting famous for night life. But unlike Mumbai unfortunately the night life in bangalore is just limited to pubs and bars. IT industry has raised the living standards but at the same time the city is getting costlier. The other industries in city should also see growth along with IT industry.
I just know people in India people should live in harmony, we should not lose our culture, identity at any cost and the same time cast, religion, language, culture should not be bars in our growth as India.
