whatever happens, happens for good
The subject line of this blog is an age old saying and I am sure it is well respected an believed in all traditions across the world.All that it means is no matter what happens, it will culminate into something good. Something that you will later look back in your life and say I am glad it happened. Like if you did not get the college of your liking, you will in the end, like what you become and love whatever comes your way.
I, for one, disagree.
This goes out to all the professors of the above theory. Tell me why this is not some kind of a mental gymnastics played by the brain, to keep you happy. Everybody wants to be happy and as they say time heals all wounds, over time the brain just kinda tranquilates that part of itself which bothers you.
Try thinking the opposite for once. Like just for the sake of this argument, think everything that happens does not happen for good. You would be happier if this did not happen. This will ofcourse induce dissatisfaction and discomfort in your life, but to see the positive side of it, I would like to tell you that satisfaction never earned anybody anything in this world. All of the achievers, achieved what they achived, because they were not satisfied with what they have done till now.

A Guy Named Y and a Gal Named X
One of my very dear friends recently had a break off ... He had to break off all ties with this girl he's been dating for 6 years now. The sequence of event that followed triggered me to write this blog.
Alright folks ... m back ....
Jesus christ guys, so many requests to complete this post ... Am I that good :-) ??
well Anyways ....
Guy gets the Girl Phase
So after sometime of lingering on and bhao khoing (typically 2 to three months) , X gives in to Y.
Yipee !!!???
Well, so one would think (devilish grin from the sadist introduced in the earlier phase).
All that hunky dowry and cheesy stuff starts, I do not need to bore you with the details. For the ones who are desperately in the need of some boredom, rent some 70s bollywood flick mann .. Now, this is a really important phase, because Y is full of expectations ... the pressure of expectations is huge. At times (most of the cases) this pressure coupled with the MALE EGO is sooooo disasterous, that this is enuff to destroy the relationship in about three months. But still they hold on to each other, just because they think its too soon to let go.
The Dev.D Phase
One fine day X packs her bags and leaves. Y is like alright, I don't need her, I can live without her too. About 7 days down the line, Y wakes up :
"whoa ... my head spins !! WTF just happened ???"
This is the phase when our dear Y turns into a Dev.D, he just realized that he wants X back. And in Y's own language, "mann, I want her back, at any cost." But shes gone. And she aint comin back dude. This phase, howerver pankaj udasish it sounds like in Y's head, it is a matter of amusement for the rest of the world. This is because he transforms into a dukhi atma and starts crapping royally on gtalk status messages and social networking profiles.
.....................................................................................................................................................
This was the final phase, as you guessed it,
No, no, no Y did not committ suicide, neither did X die. They lived. And, they are still alive. With time, Y got used to it and forgot all about X.
Sometimes makes me wonder, was it all worth it ??
(And for those of you who think I am Y in the story, please excuse me, I have my head at the right place.)
Now, I wont say that I am really old or even qualified to comment on life or the way human relationships work, but this has always fascinated me. I have always tried to learn something from other people's happiness or misery. What I have noticed so far is that the way men and women think are quite different. Now now, I know that this is like saying that the sun rises from the east. But this blog is supposed to be about my thoughts, remember ? :-) . I am just trying to draw a lil picture here, for the various phases of a relationship :
For lack of better names, we will call the guy as Y and the girl as X. (And not the vice versa because the naming is vaguely related to chromosomes)
The Starting phase
The Y Dude really, really likes our chic X. He tries to woo this chic by all possible ways he knows. His task becomes simpler if his job or college or daily routine somehow enables him to meet his lady of dreams. Nevertheless, he feels good and kind of energized and efficient if the girl interacts as well. Now here is what is going on through their minds after lets say around one month of chatting :
Y - Wow, I really, really like this girl. She seems to be responding well to me. Could she be the one? Could there possibly be something more to this .... OMG, I see my "window".
X - Hmmm, I like this guy. Finally I guess I have made a friend who is different then the others. I like the time spend with him. I like this guy because, there is not a pressure of relationship involved in this and he is not expecting anything from me. He is mature enough to understand that we can stay Just friends.
At this point in time, that sadist freak which we call god, is sitting up there and laughing his heart off.
To be continued ....
(I have a job to do, you know ... I do not make money writing blogs)

Indian television sucks !!
Well before you reject my blog thinking I am some dimwit Pakistani, who is out here to denounce India for no reason at all, take a moment, sit back and read my Blog. 
I am sick and tired of each and every channel the Indian television is airing nowadays. You can broadly classify the shit in four major categories - shitty women centric saas bahu serials. I dont understand, what kind of pathetic loser mentality, you have to have to really enjoy these serials. It is all the crap which was shown 50 yrs earlier in hindi movies. They come up with the same plot over and over and over and over and over again and they keep on running for 10 years !! People really need to get a life. If it was for me, the production houses and all those actors will die hungry. Is this all Indian families are about? Stupidness and hate and plot? I think not .....
The second brand of television channels that piss me off are the news channels. Gimme a break guys .... even a baby walking on the road becomes breaking news for them. Stop being such new borns. I hate them for their step by step coverage on each and everything . I hate it when they give a live coverage to children falling into borewells. I mean common guys, that is a terrible thing to happen to anybody, but why do you have to give it a live coverage for three whole days? Just goes on to show how bleeding, jobless or to say newsless are you...... You must be really in search of something to show on your channel, when you give a 2 hr daily coverage (with a repeat telecast every evening) to how khali is moving each and every foot of his. Khali eats like this, khali fits like this, khali shits like, goddammit we dont care .... and then some wise assess, will go the extra mile to proove this is all fake, they will give you one full day of coverage to say
that wrestling is fake. This is like saying , hey fo..l..k..s w..e h..a..v..e d..e..s..c..o..v..e..r..e..d t..h..e.. s..u..n r..i..s..e..s f..r..o..m t..h..e e..a..s.t (the dots signify the speed at which the news reporter speaks to emphasize the importance of the news). Guys, all I have to say is if you don't have better things to show on your channel, instead of comparing khali with hindu mythology or denouncing him, please get the hell out of this business. DD news was a zillion times better then you. You are only suited for a dance bar profession.
Now another thing which irkes me most is reality shows . One show after another, we just have a plague of all the channel s airing stupid reality shows, they are no better then crapy saas bahu serials. They on the oth
er hand give good employment to beggers and street urchins who wud other wise sing in local trains or outside the temples. They are very professional beggers who would beg the users to vote for them, what the heck is the point of voting anyways when you allow more then one vote from a particular user? It is just immatrial of wether or not the person sings well, you vote for him because he is a gujrati or marathi or bangali?
Another reason why you expect me to watch is because you payed the judges for an additional showdown ... screaming and figthing like street dogs ? fighting among themselves, fighting with the singers, fighting with the chai wala, god dammit ... this is sic..... and ove rand over oand over again? One show after another after another after another? How can people just tolerate a repetitive crap like this? Then when it comes to results , how are we in the bloody hell supposed to know, if the contestant who won actually had more votes then the one who lost? We just have to take your word for it ? Who the hell you think you are ? election commission? And if you do not have any bloody credibility, then why do you keep on begging for SMS messages? If your father pays for all the messages, then of course you can ask for SMS, other wise just go screw yourself. They should be booked for misleading the public.
The last thing which is so shitty about Indian television is cricket ... okay, we like cricket but that doesnt mean you can kill us with cricket !!! Relax and calm down guys. What the hell were you thinking when you talked about ICL and IPL? We are already getting bored
with an overdose of international cricket. Then why would anybody wanna watch ICL? It has nothing, no glamour, no real cricket, no real cricketers........ What the heck were you thinking dude? Who cares who won or lost.... Now the same funda applies to IPl, with a bit more severity .... Fine you wanna cash in on the regional divide existing in India, but atleast put in some more brains into it ... There is a team of Rajasthan Royals and There is hardly one single player of rajasthan in this team, even if I have a regional bias, I do not think the team is my own, cause it is either full of some foreigner sluts or some underage kids, who cant keep their legs together. The game of cricket is interesting, cause we have feelings associated with it. We enjoy when our team hits a six or takes a wicket, but in this case, what the hell are we supposed to feel? Is it just because you have named a team as mumbai, we are supposed to find the team as our own? What the hell were you thinking when you made shane warne the captain of one of the teams?
So heres a prayer devoted to all the above brands ... may god give you some brains and some more to the people who actually watch all this on the tele, so that you come up with something more sensible.

I had lots of queries as to what to do if not watch television?
The viewers are advised to better utilize their times by reading books or learning new languages or learning some musical interest of their choice. There are so many books that one can never finish them in his or her lifetime. There is so much to know. A wide range of topics - history, physics, travel, mythology, fiction. Another interesting option, which I myself would like to practice someday - There are so many children in India deprived of basic education or a tuition facility. If you are a housewife or a retired person, you might as well start a charity coaching for those less privileged souls.
