Pleasantly strange.

Something was bothering me really bad from last 3-4 days and today it was at peak. I wanted few things to happen but its just taking time and it feels I am waiting like forever. I was getting all restless. And of course I don't really share things with my family till they are out of my control. And I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.

As usual I get a call from my parents and same talk continues asking if everything is fine and I had dinner and all. We are about to end our conversation and suddenly my mother out of no where just tells me - "Somethings will happen only at right time. You really don't have to bother." And the phone call ends there.

Its not like I didn't know this, but may be right now I needed this and here she was. I felt as if God spoke through her tongue.

How strange is that ?
She didn't know anything of it and just gave a perfect solution.

A peaceful sleep...

कौतुक कर ना जरा

मागच्या दिवाळी च्या सुट्टीत घरी जाता आलं नाही, हॉस्टेल मधेच थांबावं लागलं कारण प्रोजेक्ट्स करायचे होते . पण काहीच मना सारखं होत नव्हतं. खूप depressed feel होत होतं, वाटायचं आपल्याने काहीच होऊ शकणार नाही. मग डिनर साठी मेस मध्ये गेले, बघते तर काय ? ती साधारण जेवण देणारी लोकं ज्यांची financial condition काही खूप छान नाहीच आहे तरीही ती लोकं किती खुश होती. त्या क्षणी वाटलं आपल्या कडे जे आहे ते त्यांच्या कळे नसून हि ती जर खुश राहू शकतात तर मी काय म्हणून दुखी आहे ?

प्रॉब्लेम काय आहे ना, आपल्या कळे जी गोष्ट असते त्याचं आपल्याला काहीच वाटत नाही आणि इथेच चूक होते. कुठे धावतोय आपण आणि कशाला ?

तुम्हाला माहिती आहे का ? जगात प्रत्येक गोष्टी चं कौतुक होऊ शकतं. अगदी तुंहाला जी गोष्ट frustrate करते तिचं सुद्धा. पण आपण ज्या जागी आता उभे आहोत, त्या गोष्टीचं कौतुक आपण कधी करतो का ?

त्याला विचारा कौतुक ज्याचं स्वप्न आहे तुम्ही जिथे उभे आहात तिथे पोहचणं आणि तुमचं काय तर म्हणे मला अजून कुठेच तरी जायचंय. अरे हो जा कि, पहा ना स्वप्न अगदी आकाशाला स्पर्श करणारी, पण जरा वेळ थांबा आणि पहा अवती-भवती , हे पण तितकच सुंदर आणि अविश्वसनीय आहे :)

जर तुम्ही कृतज्ञ नसाल तर कधीच समाधानी होऊ शकणार नाही. काय ?

Flirting is good for health

Lovelyyyyy.
Being Befikre | Carefree is excitement.

I am always ready to do whatever my mind thinks at this moment will give that adrenaline rush just for fun. The video just gives perfect display.

I keep on doing something or anything you can call Befikre.
I'll share one of those.

So, I was in Pune. And just in 2 days I located this guy, who looks stunning in those formals and has an amazing personality. I used to keep looking at him, whenever he used to pass. Ya, he was my next crush. But I am not someone who'll just be happy looking at someone, I make sure my crush knows that he is MY crush. Let's call him A.

So, ya through some friend I conveyed that to him indirectly and guess what, it turns out he is extremely shy of girls. I could see, he used to blush if I am looking at him but never made eye contact. By now the whole office knew that I am having crush on him.
But I havn't flirted with him till now. Sad! But it was difficult as he is really shy.

So, one day after office hours, when I was leaving he was still there with all his guy friends standing at far end from the main door. And I went upto the lift, I suddenly had this urge of doing something (:P)  and I turned back opened the office's door and in front of whole office I shouted his name and said "Byeeee A".
Everybody in the office was either blushing or laughing and A was just shocked as in what to react and said nothing :P
Instead all his friends said - "Byeee Rachanaaa."
Oh God! That was fun.

Till date everyone remembers that.
Trust me there are many of these and they'll never stop.

Its 0 or 1 for me

My emotions, thinkings, decisions have always been either zero or one and I completely follow the zero or one mantra. Either I am totally into something or I am totally detached, there is nothing in between.
The space between zero and one is not in my book, simple reason being its a very complicated place to be in. And I avoid complications as much as possible. Because those complications don't take you anywhere and you are just stuck and I really can't give any time or energy to get involved in them.
This sums to no energy at zero and total energy from 0.1 to 1 to go directly to 1 as a whole and that's how you give your best shot at 1.

Either you have an important space in my life which I'll make sure you know with my actions or you are just no one to me. There is nothing in between.
Either I want something really badly or I just don't want it. There is nothing like maybe or lets see.
Even my anger, that's why I say - "I rarely get angry." Very few people have seen my anger and their reaction tells me they don't want to see it again :P

This has also sometimes got me into trouble as I might think that something as being 1 but is actually less than 1, say 0.9, and then it hurts because you gave your best shot at 0.9 rather than at 1.
But I am equally good at throwing such things with 0.9 to 0.
Let it be situations, people, performance, or just everything.

Touched

Ellen DeGeneres is my LOVE (Yes in capital letters)She is on mission of making people happy, give amazing surprises, make them feel special, help them in their bad times from last 13 years, every single day.

She creates those positive, happy and heavenly vibes - exactly the way I wish this world to be. Exactly the way I want to give people happiness.

My most happy moment of the day is watching the The Ellen Show.

Apart from this, she is really funny. She makes me smile and laugh. Its common psychology after few months or may be couple of years, any form of comedy if gets repeated which naturally happens if a same person is doing it with a same format, kind of bores the audience.
But here is Ellen, this logic just don't apply to her.
Last 13 years, still the same energy, still that adorable presentation and the love!


                  

Something on the Ellen show touched me deep.
In my head, I think I am a selfless person. But today I felt so small in front of this lady and today the definition of selflessness changed for me for life.

The joy of seeing anyone happy and relieved because of you is the greatest.

Somewhere the world is so beautiful and that makes my little world beautiful :) 

A letter to 16 year old me.

Hii Rachana, hope you are doing well. There are somethings I wish I could have told you. But never the less they are your lessons now.

I wish I could have told you - 

1. Don't take life too seriously, its a game with ups and downs. Don't worry too much about the destination, sometimes things are just not in your hand. Only thing you can do is enjoy the beautiful journey.

2. Life is not - "Zindagi ka safar hai ye kaisa safar, koi samjha nahi, koi jana nahi."
Rather it is - "Ude khule aasma me khwabo ke parinde."

3. Don't take tension about really simple things. There is lot more than this in future. Atleast enjoy now.

4. Trust me. Every bloody thing happens for something good. So chill!

5. Being in your teenage obviously you feel your parents are born to hurt you. You'll laugh at this after few years as you'll know they are the best gift.

6. Spend some quality time with your family. You are going to miss that a lot in future.

7. Those tears are priceless, don't shed them on unworthy situations.

8. Try to speak more otherwise your voice will disappear. Vestigiality you see.

9. Don't fall in love, ever in your life. Its just difficult and screws you mentally. You are not meant for all that bullshit.

10. Don't invest in people. Big NO. Be it time, emotions, whatever. Again we don't need that bullshit.

11. I know, you very badly wanted to be a Guy, but guess what God has made you a girl. Try a bit to behave like a girl. I mean thoda sa delicate and all. What ? No ? Ok fine, forget it. I love you the way you are.

12. Health man health. Please take care of your health man. You are very irresponsible as far your health is concerned. You make your body suffer a lot. That's lot of atyachar. Not good.

13. Don't ever think of ending your life. Just STUPID! 

14. Dream the impossible and make it happen. Sacrifice whatever comes in between as my only wish is to see that one beautiful day.

15. Don't try to keep everyone happy. You'll end up hurting yourself. You are not God man. Let God do his job and you do yours.

16. Let people go. If they come back, they are all yours, if not, they were never yours. And that should be perfectly fine.

Otherwise you are perfect. 20 year old Rachana feels proud of you and loves you a lot.

Dear 16 year old, do you want to know how your 20 year old looks ?
More confident, risk taker, fearless, very expressive, stronger than ever, looks cute nowadays, takes stand, damn focused, doesn't give a damn what others are thinking, believes in the power of the Universe, got some good friends and few stalkers too, happily single with lots of crushes.

What has not changed ?

Still never complains, still tries to make people happy, still always ready to help and still in love with you.

This is strength.

She defines the strength a woman has.
Hats off O P Jaisha.


@13:05

बरं वाटलं

आज असाच एक होम मिनिस्टर चा एपिसोड पाहत होते, त्यात एक नवीन जोडपं आलं होतं.
त्यांचं नुकतच love marriage झालं होतं. ह्या जोडप्याचं वैशिष्ठ म्हणझे मुलगी मराठी आणि मुलगा ख्रिस्ती (Christian).

बांदेकर मुलीच्या वडिलांना विचारतात तुम्ही कसकाय लावून दिलं ह्यांचं लग्न जेव्हा मुलगा ख्रिस्ती आहे ?
त्यावर त्यांचं उत्तर होतं - 
" मी धर्म - जात असल्या कशातही मानत नाही , कारण मी एक शिक्षक आहे .
 दोघे हि एकमेकांच्या अनुरूप आहेत ते महत्वाचं वाटतं मला. "

किती मोठी गोष्ट आहे हि .
As a  profession  कोणी हि शिक्षक होऊ शकतं हो, पण विचाराने आणि कृतीने जर शिक्षक होता आलं तर जग खूप सुंदर होईल .
हो ना ?

ऐकून फार बरं वाटलं!

That was sweet :)

Do din se man thoda sa sad tha. Thakan si thi, physical nahi mental, vo hota hai na jab samajh nahi aa raha hota kya ho raha hai ? bas dimaag ke ghode dodao jitni dur tak ho sake utni dur tak, par thak har ke vapis jaha se shuruwat ki thi wahi aakar theherna padta hai.

Aur vo log hote hai na jinke chehre pe saaf nazar aata hai unke dimaag me kya chal raha hai, me unhi idiots me se ek idiot hu. Mera chehra mere dil ka aayna hai, sab kuch nazar aa jayega.

Bank gayi thi, paise transfer karne they. 

Bank ka issue kuch mahine pehle ho gaya tha, jiske silsile me Papa aakar bank manager se mile they. Toh basically vo mujhe jante they. Ab jante they matlab aisa nahi hai, ki jab bhi me bank jau me unse baat karti hu, nope! Bas jante they.

Aaj jab Cash counter pe khadi thi, maine toh unke pas dekha tak nahi tha.

Anyways, jaise bataya, pareshani aur udasi mere chehre pe ab bhi thi. Par kisko kya padi hai ?

Actually mujhe bhi kuch nahi padi hai, kyuki ye mere liye normal hai. Mahine ke 30 dino me me kuch 12 din hi khush dikhti hu, baki sare din aisa hi kuch haal hota hai, toh hua na normal ? Ye mera ek adbhoot talent hai!

Thodi der baad college ka aur dusra kam kar ke hostel vapis aayi, ghar se missed calls they. Vapis call kiya. Maine mummy ko bataya - "Paise kar diye transfer."

Is par unka question aata hai - "Tu thik toh hai na ?"

Ab mera dimaag shuru -  Achanak aise kyu bhala pucha ? 

"Haan."

Mummy - "Kya kar rahi thi ?"

                 "Tabiyat toh thik hai na ?"

                 "Koi problem hai ?"

"Arrey. Nahi..kyu ?"

Mummy - "Tumhare college se bank manager ka call aaya tha Papa ko, vo bata rahe they tu bahot pareshan aur sad lag rahi thi. Apni beti ka khayal rakho."

I had that aww wale tears in my eyes listening to this :) 

Kaise na ? 

He is the manager, vo pura time busy rehte hai, phir bhi unhone mujhe notice kiya aur time nikal ke papa ko call bhi kiya. Ye logo ki khubsoorti na mujhe sabse jyada khush karti hai.

Ye sunke sari thakan ud gayi.

Mujhe jab koi insaan accha lagta hai, me unko duaye deti hu.

Manager uncle aur unki family humesha khush rahe. Dil se :) 

One of the toughest decisions.

So, one of the interesting chapters of my biography would be,

Refused to take a top government MBBS seat cleared in first attempt.

Yes you read that!!

What ? You don't beleive me ? 

Okay. Check this! 

Now, this is something 95% students will not even think of doing. 

And that's obvious. I mean if you have read this Times of India article,

Only 0.6% AIPMT aspirants crack it every year, you will understand 99.4% are not able to get that golden seat.

Now honestly, I didn't crack AIPMT, but MHCET for medical courses, which limits to seats of government medical colleges of Maharashtra. But nothing changes! 

Remember its MBBS.

This is the same seat, where my classmates took 1 or 2 years gap as they were not able to crack it in first attempt and I know few of them who went on with something else after those 2 years gap as still they didn't get it. 

And here I was who got it in first attempt and just refused.

I am among those remaining 5% who could think of doing something like that and finally I am that 1% who actually did that.

Now, how much it took me to be that 1% amongst the 5% ?

- My mother called me and said - "Ritu, you got the seat. Its Government Medical college Yavatmal. Pack your bags, I am very happy beta. In 2 days we need to rush for the admissions."

  Yes it took a lot of courage to tell my mother," I guess I am not taking that seat ." 

  Somewhere I destroyed her dreams of me becoming a Doctor.

- My relatives kept calling me and telling me - "What are you doing ? Don't do this."

- Every other person my father met during that period, just told him to make me understand that I am doing wrong.

Even I remember one of his colleagues said - "Totally wrong decision on her part, she will regret one day."

One another colleague said - "Mr.Bagde your daughter doesn't seem to be in your control, one should have a good control over their children."

(I have tears in my eyes while writing all this.)

This wasn't the end, there were more of direct personal attacks on an innocent 17yr. old girl.

- I didn't say direct no to my parents but told them 70% - I am not taking that seat and 30% - I would like to visit the college on admission day and then say finally what I decided.

 We went to the college and we were sitting in the auditorium of the college where the admission procedure was going on. We(me and Papa) sat on one of the seats and then he asked me "So ? What have you decided ?"

I said "No"

He said fine and then we were leaving the hall and suddenly this man prompts us - asking, why are you leaving ? Your admission is not done yet. Wait for some time we'll start it soon. He was some staff member of the college who was handling the process.

And my father said - "She don't want to take admission here."

And he was speechless. Not new to me, I was expecting that! But I was not expecting what happened next.

Read this at your own risk. This is one of my worst experiences with people.

He asked my father - "She don't want ? And what do you want ?"

Papa - "Hum toh chahte hi hai MBBS le, par ab baccho ki jaisi marzi."

That man turns to me and almost yells at me,

"Sir, your daughter is selfish. How come she thrash the wishes of her parents.

From childhood your parents fullfill all your wishes and demands and this is what today's generation does.

Such a selfish girl."

Till now whole auditorium was our audience. 

I am very sensitive, if you yell at me - My tears will come out in seconds.

Plus if you praise me with such a language - my little heart will just break into pieces.

If you yell at a girl with such harsh words, then - It hurts!

If you use those words for a daughter who is known as an ideal daughter in her surroundings and closed ones(teachers and relatives), then - It hurts!

If you call a girl selfish who always cared for her parents to be happy and sacrificed her little desires without letting them know that she is only doing those things for their sake, then - It hurts! 

As he attacked me with those words - I couldn't control but burst into sea of tears and got out of the room. I cried, cried and cried. (still crying)

(In my head - How much you know me, to comment something like that extreme ??)

A rich father comes to me and telling me - "What are you doing ? See my son tried for this seat last year, he couldn't get it. This year he did lot of hard work and he got it. We specially came from Mumbai for his admission, our whole family is very happy and celebrating.  Think."

I kept weeping.

My father couldn't understand how to console me, he called my mother and told her to talk to me. I wasn't in condition of talking to anyone. I just wanted to be alone.

One more lady comes to me - "Beta, see this college is very good, its difficult to get admission here. One of my daughter completed her MBBS from this college and this year my younger daughter too is taking admission here."

I told my father - "Let's go. I don't want to be here anymore."

And in the whole journey from Yavatmal to Nagpur, I was silent with no tears.

Now "THE QUESTION",

WHY ?

Why I took this decision ?

Now you will not believe me, when I say - Except me, no one knows the reason till date. Not even my parents.

I don't think I can make anyone understand my reasons. So, I don't try it.

That day and today - I was and am very clear about my decision.

                   And guess what I don't regret. 

                  It was best decision I took.

Now, what to do with those people who were and still are cursing me for my decision ?

Yes I have answer for them. 

Time :) 

Yes! Time will give them all their answers.

Now when someone calls me courageous , I don't go into 'Being Modest' zone.
Because I know it very well I have done many things which is not everyone's cup of tea.

Everytime someone praises me, I'll just smile and feel humbled.

And whatever the way I am, its because of those events that made me this way.
If not have been those events, I would have been something different, which I refuse to possess.

Got 33rd Crush Maccha.

What makes me happy ?
My crushes man!
All over my life, I am very serious about my crushes. They are excitement factor of my life.

32 crushes till now and my crush pot was feeling bored. Last crush was some one month old.
Long time man. 
And then I got my Maccha. (I really don't know what that mean.)

Ladies and Gentlemen presenting Karthik Kumar, popularly known as Evam.

First encounter -
Standup comedy South Indian vs North Indian.

My reaction - Good comedy, Its difficult to make me laugh. As my family will tell I am only one who'll be expression-less when everyone else is laughing. As I need something really hilarious to even give a smile.  

And his gig made me laugh ,cool...but not crush level till now.

Then some one week later I saw more of his videos and slowly slowly, Maccha he is amazing.

And he is in the Crush Pot.

Why ?

- Look at that energy,

- Passion - people with passion, it just shows in their actions and I get instantly attracted.

- Smart - those punch lines and timing and he is deliberately making south Indian accent, which is         really working in favour for him.

- Confidence/Public Speaking - Maccha you are killing it.

That's enough for passing my crush test!

This is most hilarious comedy I ever saw. Do I sound biased ? Ya fine.

             

And then Mr.Karthik shows me another side of his personality - The Entrepreneur.

You deserve to be my Crush.

27th Crush and I am mad about him.

First encounter -

Let's pan the camera to June 2015, I am doing my Internship.
Office scene -
I have completed my work already, nothing to do man. Let's watch some Youtube. Nothing interesting on Youtube nowadays, what to do ?

Let's watch a movie. Yes a 2:30 hr movie in office time on office's system. I know I am very cool.

Which movie ? Umm..let's see..Ya, this movie some one year back I saw trailer of this Marathi movie, the storyline looked interesting but didn't get chance to watch the movie. Let's see this,

Coffee anni barach kahi.

Cool, movie starts. This new actor. I guess I have seen him somewhere, wait! No...not actually.
Fine, movie continues.
I don't know what is happening ? I just can't take my eyes off him. Its nothing like his acting was extraordinary or so, but I don't know  - Its strange! I am getting crazily attracted towards him. What's wrong with me ? Why ?
Rachana have you lost it ? Movie just started some 15 mins. before and you are going mad ? For what ? My brain needs answer Rachana...Answer me.

I really don't know but I am feeling a strong connection with him.

And some 10 mins. later after trying very hard to get the answer to my sudden chemical imbalance I realised he resembles almost 90% to my past crush Varun .


Maannnn!! How on Earth is that even possible ?
His mannerisms, somewhat body language and most of all his expressions matches 100% to Varun.
Dude, are they twins or what ?
And who better can say this than me who has stalked Varun for over an year.

That connection, made me instantly fall for him.

I was in dreams while watching that movie. Movie done! I got a new energy, after those 8 months of sadness, Vaibbhav Tatwawdi was a new fresh air.




I started exploring Vaibbhav.
So, here we go,
Marathi actor also featured in Bollywood with movies like Hunterr (character name - Kshitij, I will sue that director for showing Vaibbhav dead in last scenes. You better not do that again.) and Bajirao Mastani (Chimaji Appa).
He is from Nagpur. Wohoooo..I mean kya baat!
His home address - just lives 10 mins. away from my home. Wah!
His father is Director of a famous college in Nagpur, mother - housewife and younger brother - Entrepreneur.
Schooling - Somalwar High school, Nagpur.
College - COEP. That's College of Engineering Pune. Great!
(He took COEP over VNIT Nagpur as he was aware of Theatre culture in COEP.)

Throughout 4 yrs of Engineering, he was actively a part of Theatre. He was famous because of his acting skills and stage presence right from first year.
His plays are available on Youtube -
One of my favourite -

Completely nailed it!

After Coffee anni barach kahi's success(his debu film), he is popular in Marathi industry and has projects in Bollywood too.

When Vaibbhav dances and when Varun dances, I bet you they'll have same expressions, just same. And I still don't believe this.

And guess what he is my 27th crush.

Love the way he speaks Marathi.

He speaks from heart.

He has got personality.

He is grounded after all the success.

He dreams.

His eyes say a lot.

He has got cute smile.

Chidish Innocence.

I can go on and on and on.

Cuteness overloaded in this video. Aww.

Thankyou for existing Vaibbhav. You have no idea how happy I feel watching you :) 

This song! Love you :) blush blush 
We'll meet someday for sure. I promise.

Kitne expressions deta hai ye insaan...bas jaan le lo..

प्रेम दुधा सारखं असतं का ?

आता प्रेम आणि दूध, काय संबंध ?

जरा deeeep मध्ये जाऊन विचार करूया.
प्रेम कधी खूप उतू  जातं, तर कधी आटत जातं . म्हणजे हे माझं स्टेटमेंट नाहीये, नुसता एक विचार आहे.
म्हणजे पहा ना, एके काळी दोन व्यक्ती खूप close असतात आणि दुसऱ्या क्षणी काही तरी प्रकृती चे खेळ होतात आणि नातं तुटतं.
नातं तुटलं म्हणजे प्रेम पण नाहीस होतं का ? ते आटत का ? जर हो , तर तुम्हाला मुळात प्रेम हे कॉनसेप्टच  कळलं नाहीये!
तर conclusion काय ?  प्रेम आणि दूध काही एक संबंध नाहीये.

अजून एक, प्रेम ही एक खूप नाजूक गोष्ट आहे, ती भावना जपायची असते, त्यात जर तुम्ही डोकं लावताय की OMG असं करायला नको , तसच वागूया , एवढच नको, तेवढच बोलूया - तर पुन्हा " नाही कळलं तुम्हाला प्रेम ".
जर तुम्ही विचार करून प्रेम करत असाल तर राव कसलं हो तुमचं प्रेम ? ठेवा आपल्या खिश्यात !
अरे एका स्वतंत्र पाखरू सारखं झेप घेऊ द्या प्रेमाला, नका लावू बंधनं.
बंधनं लावलीत की पाखरू ची घुसमट होते आणि पंख कापली जातात , मग कधीच ते पाखरू झेप घेण्याचा विचार सुद्धा करत नाही. 

English Vinglish.

And after Cheeni Kam this another R Balki creation, I guess me and Mr. R Balki were in some relation in our last lives. May be..who knows ?

First 10 mins. and I was in love with this lady, Sridevi.
I never had a chance to watch her movies, obviously I wasn't born at the time she was ruling industry but knew she is a great face of the indian cinema, you see its same like our generation havn't seen Sholay but would pretend to understand every joke these people make with that movie.

So this was it. English Vinglish starring Sridevi.
Mannnnn!! What do I say ?
At the age of 52, she looks stunning and amazingly beautiful. From now onwards I am having a huge girl crush on her.
Acting man acting!! What a performance, like I have never ever seen so much natural acting in my life.
Or wait! Maybe I have..umm let's try to remember, last time I was blown away by natural acting in :
- Nadiya Ke Par : Sadhana Singh and Sachin Pilgaonkar - both were amazing.
- Cheeni kam : Amitabh Bacchan and Tabu. (I need to write a different post on Cheeni Kam.)

Her performance was spell bound. How can you act this good ?
Her innocence, her childishness, her being doubtful, her helplessness, her fear, her care, everything was crystal clear.

That scene when she tries to order a sandwich and coffee from that restaurant, just a treat to watch and when she gets out of the restaurant that feeling of getting insulted..aahh..her tears..I could relate so much, I went back to my days in school when I was sent on stage in assembly and couldn't do it properly and that teacher who insulted me in front of everyone, I just went back and I could feel that embarrassment in her eyes.

That scene in flight with Amitji. How cute she was. Awwww...

That scene where all her ladoos are dropped by her son on the floor. She goes back to make ladoos again and had to miss her English exam for it, her tears start rolling down.
I wanted to just go and hug her and tell "Shhhh....everything will be fine, relax, don't cry. I can't see you cry"

I loved this movie.

You saw that look in that french guy's  eyes everytime he used to look at her ?
My goodness, I just smile :)

Sridevi, I am glad you did this movie and Shashi (Sridevi's character's name ) I am in love with you, I swear :)

Muskurahat ka safar

Aap mujhe khana mat dijiye, pani mat dijiye..sab chalega, par Internet ? Nahi! Nahi reh sakti me Internet ke bina. Matlab agar hostel me Rachana Bagde apne room me na dikhe toh janlijiye ki Internet nahi aa raha hai. Saturday ki raat se internet gayab tha, aur next day kyuki sunday tha internet ke aane ke koi aasar bhi nahi the. Ek pura din - No Internet, Nightmare! Kya karu pura din ? 

Bahut sochne ke baad plan banaya movie jati hu. Movies aur me - ye bhi ek alag rishta hai. Mera bas chale toh har friday koi na koi movie dekhne jau.

So mera freind Sam (nahi kalpanic naam hai, sam bhi bhala koi nam hai) mujhe direct theatre me milne wala tha aur mujhe pohochana tha waha 6 baje tak, bhai 6:20 ka show tha. Is mahine, maine tay kiya tha ki paise save karne ki koshish karungi. Agar me Mall tak direct auto leti toh mujhe Rs.70 lagte. Agar yaha save karna tha, toh (let's say - spots A,B,C)A - B [Rs.10],B-C[Rs.10],C-Mall[Rs.10] = Rs.30. Second option better laga. Maine socha 5:30 tak hostel se nikalungi toh aaram se time pe pohoch jaungi. Par nahi, nikalane me 5:40 ho gaye, gate pe A-B ke liye ek bhi auto nahi mila ; 5:50 hogaye yahi.

Ab socha chodo, direct auto leti hu Rs.70 wala, par Rs.60 me jaungi, atleast Rs.10 bachane ki koshish karti hu. 

Ek auto mila, aur vo Rs.60 me maan bhi gaya.

Ab kuch beech raste me Auto wale bhaisahab ko phone aane lage. Unki baton se laga, jaise unko kahi toh urgent pohochana hai.

Thodi der baad vo mujhe kehte hai - Agar me aapko Rs.30 me Mall tak pohocha du toh chalega ?

Cut to : Ek past event

Isse kuch 2 mahine pehle, Pune ke railway station par jab akele apna saman lekar train ka intezar kar rahi thi, utani bheed me ek sadhu-baba types vyakti mere paas aaye aur kuch puch rahe they, meri samajh nahi aayi, maine unse kaha aap kisi aur se puch lijiye, mujhe nahi pata. Vo vyakti wahi khade rahe, aur kuch der baad, mere bahut kareeb aakar ek bahut gandi line boli - jo me kabhi keh bhi nahi sakti. Agar aisa kuch hota hai toh normally ladkiya chata laga deti hai, aur aisa nahi hai ki me nahi laga sakti thi, par uski vo line sunkar andar tak kaap gayi thi me, bahut darr gayi thi me aur mere muh se

kuch nahi nikala, me waha se seedhe nikalkar waiting room me aa gayi. Bas aansu tapakne baki they.

Ek sadhu k vesh me agar koi apni bacchi ki umar ki ladki ko aisa kuch keh sakta hai, toh yakeen maniye - kuch bhi ho sakta hai.

Us din se kisi bhi insaan par aasani se bharosa nahi hota. Har kisi pe shak hone lagta hai.

Toh auto wale uncle ki baat kuch samajh nahi aayi, achanak Rs.30 kya ? kyu ? kaise ?    

Uncle kehte hai mujhe kahi urgently jana hai, aapko mall tak nahi chod sakta, par beta aapko (A-D-Mall) D tak chod deta hu, waha se kuch Rs.10 me aap mall tak pohoch jaoge aur wo bhi jaldi- ye alag shortcut hai. Me toh pehle hi late ho rahi thi, maine kaha D mere liye nayi jagah hogi aap mujhe waha se auto me bitha dijiyega ? Ispar unhone kaha, haan me aapko sahi se bitha ke hi jaunga. 

Achanak mera CID wala dimaag mujhe satane laga. 

Kya ho agar, ye insaan mujhe D bolkar kisi khandar jagah le jaye, ho sakta hai vo phone calls sab nakali ho - mujhe phasane ke liye.

Maine thodi der baad socha, agar thoda sa bhi shak ho ki ye insaan kisi galat jagah le ja raha ho aur bheed se dur ja raha ho, toh wahi utar jaungi. Ye toh yaad hai usne kuch Rs.30 bola tha, par usne kaha tha Rs.30 me Mall pohoch jaoge, par vo kitana lenge - uspe kuch baat nahi hui thi. Maine socha apna hi profit dekhega Rs.30 hi le lega, aur mujhe chalega bhi. 

Pure raaste bhar me dekhti rahi, hum kisi anjaan jagah nahi na ja rahe. Kuch der baad usne ek alag turn liya, meri saanse ruk gayi.

Aur jab tak me kuch kehti, unhone khud kaha - ye hai D, yaha se aapko auto mil jayega Mall ke liye, me aapko auto me bitha deta hu, aur unhone ek auto wale se auto chalate chalate baat bhi kar li aur mujhe kaha aap us auto me chale jaye aur haan jate jate ek mandir padega, sundar mandir hai, vo bhi dekhte jana, mujhe Rs.20 de do aur use Rs.10 de dena.

Thodi der ke liye laga, ye kya hua? Shit! me pure raaste bhar jis insaan ke bare me pata nahi kya kya sochti aa rahi thi, vo toh kitna bhala nikala,

agar vo mujhe Rs.40 bhi dene kehta toh me de hi deti, vo apna profit dekh sakta tha, par usne aisa kuch nahi kiya. 

Mujhe samajh nahi aa rha tha, mere dare-sehme dil ko achanak shant karne wale is shaks ko kaise thankyou kahu. Maine bas jate jate smile kiya, ek genuine, insaniyat pe vishwas vapis aa gaya - wali smile. Unhone bhi return smile kiya.

Ab D-to-Mall, dusre auto wale ne kuch aur logo ko bitha liya, 2 aurate aur 2 chote bacche, uname ek baccha kuch 6-7 saal ka hoga, vo mere saamne aakar baith gaya, bar bar vo apna hath bahar nikalta, aur me uska hath undar kar deti - kehti beta hath bahar nahi nikalo, uski mummy unke dusare bacche ke sath busy thi.

Vo baccha meri taraf aise smile karta tha, jaise hum ek dusre ko pata nahi kitane salo se pehchante ho. Me bhi return me use smile karti.

Bas, aur mera Mall aa gaya.

 Time : 6:13,

 6:17, hum hall ke undar, aur 6:20 movie started! 

Kabh kabhi anjaan log, apne se lagne lagte hai.
