When a guy starts looking …

Hmm …

I am really amazed at what all things a guy can easily find out about a girl towards whom he is attracted or towards whom he has started looking !!!

I am just trying to narrate certain instances based on my personal experiences. All you guys are most welcome to correct me or to add on with your experiences.

Seriously, it all begins with just a casual look. Well, not even a “look”, mostly it is just a casual glance, you know … a passing glance would be more correct. Then, that passing glance turns into a second glance (you know, for the eyes to grasp the beauty/striking features of the face)

After that, the thoughts/talks begin … of course, among the guys’ friends: what’s her name yaar? kuch pata to kar …

Then, on the next day, if she is fortunately near enough, then you try to peek into her access card or try to drop in close enough to hear her friend call up her name. Well, if it is that easy, then you are lucky, else you try to find out any friend of yours who knows her – if not closely, then atleast is on hi-bye terms with her. Then you contact him/her to try n find out her name.

After that, the trials begin …

Trying to get around her …

Trying to stick around to her work desk …

Trying to be near-about as and when the chance is there …

Trying to observe her more …

Trying to get to know more about her …

And well, mind you, this “trying” can even be when you are not serious, i mean, when you just want to know her … and not follow her , if you know what i am saying

In my experience so far, the guys have been decent enough not to bother the girl in any which way … they are just curious.

And well, some of those who were serious, actually went on to find out more, got on conversational terms, dropped enough hints, asked her out and are now happily married

And I am proud to be the witness to all these love stories of most of my friends.

May their tribe increase, so that I have more stories to post

 

so, guys, what are you waiting for … ho jaye aapki bhi story idhar …

Jai Ho ya nahi … ???

About a week or so back … the whole of India and the world was swinging to the tunes of “Jai Ho… “

This Oscar winning composition by our very own A.R.Rahman is from the movie Slumdog Millionaire which has swept the 81st Annual Academy Awards, winning 8 statuettes in total.

This moment of glory has sent many a brains aflutter … one of those being yours truly’s

Since the time the movie was screened, whether in India and/or worldwide, almost every person is a part of either of the two ever-growing groups - Is Slumdog Millionaire pro-Indian or anti-Indian ?

I believe there’s no end to this debate … but I’ll write here what I personally feel.

First things first … Slumdog is not an Indian movie primarily … it just happens to be associated with one of the most stark realities of Mumbai, India … which is the slums. But there is nothing to feel so bad about as “chand me bhi to daag hota hai”

Next thing, the movie doesn’t in any way portray India in a bad way … the slums are omnipresent … and the thing shown in the movie is not at all fictional or made especially for depiction in the movie. You travel from Mumbai to Pune or vice-versa or anywhere from Mumbai, for that matter, and you can see people trying to sort recyclable products from heaps of garbage. And these dumps of garbage border right till approximately 0.5-1 feet from the railway tracks.

Ab ye agar aap dekhna hi nahi chahte ya fir dekh ke you turn your neck in the opposite direction, then it can’t be helped. But then, atleast you should not voice your opinion as regards these matters.

Let me ask a simple question: how many of us would stop by to turn-off a running water tap either at a tapri wala or at a pani-puri stall ?

Now, be true to your conscience while answering…

Hmm … if the response is majorly yes, then I’m delighted … else, i don’t think we’ve got any right to criticise what is shown in the movie. One thing is for sure, slums do exist … there are areas still so underdeveloped that people, especially women, have to go miles to fetch a pitcher-full of water. So, if we don’t like what is being shown, c’mon yaar … don’t you think its high time to get into some action ???

What say, people ?

What Say !!!
