Namo!!! Namo!!!!

16th May 2014, 8:30 pm
I can still hear crackers all over. Rallies, celebrations and laughters as if our country got independence once again. BJP won with 278 seats in the loksabha elections and Narendra Modiji will be our next most awaited PM.
The whole country is singing in one chord.. "Namo...Namo".
This evening Maa asked me to get Baba's blood pressure and her diabetes medicine. The whole city was 'modi'fied. An old person was crossing the closed railway gate when others were waiting for the train to pass and the gate to be opened.  He was telling the young boy walking with him and breaking the same rule that "achche din aanewale hai" ( good days are about to come). The boy corrected him by saying " aa gaye" (it has already come) because by then results were out and Modi was declared as the next PM.
We Indians are such idiots.  I know I'am a little harsh in my words. But can you just think about it once? We break the traffic rules, we spit and pee wherever we want, we burn our daughter in laws, we kill our girl child, we bribe our officials to get out of one trouble to create more troubles, we let our under eighteen year old kids to drive, we drink and bash our cars on the people sleeping on footpath, we waste hell lot of food everyday, we still believe in black magic, we cut our trees for no reason, and the list goes on and on. But yes, we believe that changing just one person in the country that is getting a new Prime minister will get us all we loose by doing everything mentioned above.
No.... guys have some common sense.  How many of you are concerned about the nifty and GDP rising due to the new government.  How many of you knew who was the last human resources minister or education minister? What is going to change if these ministries change? Is the area near your house going to be clean with the change of government? No!!! You have to stop putting that shit of yours there. Is your life safe even if you pass that closed railway gate due to the new PM? No!!! Stop breaking those rules if you love your life.  Is your daughter going to be safe on the roads once Modi takes the charge? No!!!! Control your ridiculous boys first.
Modi kya kya karega??? Congress kya kya kar leti? Look at yourselt my country mates!!! Time to show a mirror to yourself first. Its not too late to start. Don't depend on a PM or a government to change your country, to change yourself...

Your life is the last important thing you have!!!

15th May 2014, 2:08 pm.
I'am sitting here in one of the most famous gynecologist's hospital, waiting for my turn for the ultrasound and papsmear test. These tests are going to determine whether my infection in one of the organ inside me (don't remember the name) is cancerous or not.
Just before a week the sudden death of a friend made me feel that there's nothing more important than a human life. But the last few days after her death has taken my feelings to the exactly opposite side of this thought. Trust me your life is the least important thing that you posses right now. Your spouse may feel a vacuum without you for a day or two. And the third day his relatives will remind him about how young he is to lead the rest of the life alone. His mom will be worried about his food, laundry and other basic day to day stuffs that was taken care by you. His friends will be amazed on how he is going to fulfill his sexual desires for the rest of his life. After all paid options are not really safe in India. People who don't even know him will wonder how he is going to take care of a toddler who was completely dependent on you. And finally he himself will start thinking practically and get another soul mate.  Soon all your pictures will be buried somewhere. And they would have a valid and very much practical reason to do this and that is that those pictures would make them remind you and this would not let them accept the new 'you' in their life.
It took me 15 minutes to reach this hospital.  I took the shortest route. There were hundreds of other people driving on that route. What if I don't go back through the same path? No one is going to miss me there. None will wait for me to reach to their destination.  No one even bothers about where I went or where I want to go. Each one will drive till the end. I will drive till the end.

The last breath!!!

Ashish Kulkarni a.k.a Kullu a.k.a Anna as he was called by all of us in the college. He was in the final year of mining department and a very good friend of Adi. I was standing outside the library when Pankaj sir, another senior from the mining department and a part of our huge group came to me and said that he wants me to introduce Anna to one of my friends from the electronics department.  Since then all I knew about Anna is that I can pull his leg any time and anywhere I meet him though I was a junior to him. I loved addressing him as Kullu sir!
Kullu sir was a localite and his family soon became a second family to Adi and the other group members. Aunty was an ideal Indian mom, who loved cooking for all her son's friends and even the friends of those friends.  Jyotsna Didi became the universal Didi of the whole group. And Smita was cuddled and protected as a baby by each one of us. Uncle was proud of all the future engineer friends of Anna. A big happy family....
College was over... but not the friendship made there. Jyotsna Didi' wedding, Smita's graduation,  Adi and me getting tied...each meeting while chandrapur visits...Anna's wedding.. every moment was cherished fully by us. Anna got married to Pallavi two years back. We thought it would be our last chance to make fun of Kullu sir as everyone changes after getting married. But it was not the case with him at all. The fun continued more after Pallavi came to his life. And then within a year Anna and Pallavi gave us another reason to smile. Anvi was born. The whole Kulkarni family knew how to celebrate life. And there they were...celebrating Anvi's birth even after knowing that she had a major problem in her kidney and will have to be operated within an year. There's this saying that keep smiling on life's problems and soon life will be tired of troubling you. They made this saying true. Anvi was operated and was healthy now. Soon Pallavi started keeping unwell. Aunty had to take care of everything now. But she always had the time to listen to everyone else's problems and wish for their happiness when I used to call her. Anna still was a target for fun for me and Adi. A week before too when Adi called him, he kept laughing that the doctors are idiots who are still confused on the disease that Pallavi has. And yesterday morning at 5:30 am... Anna called Adi...his voice was shaky and filled with tears... "Dost...Pallavi nahi rahi"...( Friend, Pallavi is no more!)..
Anvi is taken care of by Aunty now. Anna is still in shock. I don't know if we will be able to see Anna again laughing and giggling at any joke on him like before. It was just a matter of that last breath that Pallavi might have took. Everything changed with that one breath.
Life is so uncertain. If you hate someone just think he might not be there to hate with that last breath.  If you have a grudge just remember it will remain here but the person will go away with that last breath.  If you expect more just remember you might not have even what you have right now with that last breath. If you love but forget to say it today...remember today can be that last breath!!!!
