Hala Madrid.

Who ever knows me , also knows my fanatism towards Real Madrid and Raul. The Two R's. Even though India is not doing very well in cricket, which has definitely disapointed me , has not left me completely upset, as there is my favourite Football Team " Real Madrid" that is doing really good. They are currently second in the La Liga, and stand a good chance winning this season. Their Next Match is against Atheletic Bilbao and i am really excited about watching this match tonight, Specially for My Captain Raul. The match against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday will be his 601st, the same number of games Hierro played with the Whites. He will be four games short of Gento, Sanchís and Santillana are still in the lead, but he is only 29 years Old.If he scores in Bilbao he will equal Santillana's 186 League goal count. That would Indeed be a great acievement for a great player like him. Raul was out of form and had a 14 months Goalless streak. Critics had written him off, his several Fan clubs were stopped, and he was poured with not so pleasent comments. But i am really proud that slowly and steadily this man is getting back to what he was and what he is, A Champion of all Champions. I really Pray to god that they win, and if they do then ofcourse they win the "Koskers" for this weekend. Talking about the Koskers, it is a tough competition this week. The real Madrid Match is Pitted against the movie " Tara Rum Pum" looking forward to watch the movie, after a long time , i am spending some time with my parents this sunday, we are doing what we like doing, eating chicken, having ice creams and watching a movie at the Theatre and ending the day with a great Real Madrid Match, Sounds perfect!

Bidding Adeau!!!

Last week was a week full of disapointments, week full of mixed reactions, Friends parting their ways, friends reuniting., seems like life is a perfect balance. A week when lithargy was at its peak. Some of my friends left for US, they did not have the courtesy to even let me know that they had an opportunity, as if i am the one who would cast some black magic spell on their happyness, i have shared every moments of my life , good or bad, happy or sad with these people, the saddest thing is people whom you give so much of importance and worth to have shared so much with them, do not find you worth of sharing their moments with you. You feel like you are nothing. I had left all my hopes and had accepted this fact that i am all alone in this world. The importance i give to people, no one even give you back an atom of its worth. But the hope still floated, that some where within their herat and mind, I am still there, I feel myself as an emotional beggar to have expected even that much from these people. So it is my turn to show them what i am to a stranger. I am walking away from your lives, from your heart, and throwing way all the attachments that i had ever kept with you.All i will carry with me are your memories captured in the camera. I am the backpacker, it is my turn to pack the bags now. Goodbye my friends , have a great life.


On the other had it was great catching up with some old friends and spending a quality early morning , like they way we used to sometime back. It was great reliving those memories. I feel sad that i am not able to spend the same kind of time with them, There is a lot that i cannot explain. There is a lot that cannot be explained and there is a lot that they wont understand, its all about the different background that we come come from, it is all about the different upbringing that we had, it is all about the friendship that sees no religion, no class , no cast and no creed. all it knows is binding people together. I hope you will understand that someday, and forgive me for whatever wrong that i have done, it is wrong according to you. But i trust me guys , according to me it is All Correct, that is the way it should be.

Breakkkkkk!!!

The Best thing that happened to me the last week was , when i received a Mail from My friend In Delhi. The Mail Had Two CDs, They were of the Photographs taken at the Recent Kerala Trip In the month of January. It was wonderfull re-living those moments at kerala. Specially The Kerala Trip was great that had helped me to forget a lot of things that i had been a victim of, and make some new friends out there. Sunkissed Beaches, Huge water-falls, elegant Back waters , Big Houses , Beautifull Churches and Tall Palm Trees makes this A Land truly a heaven, and inhabitted by good human beings. Those sleepless Nights spent in drinking at Yogi's Terrace, those loud debates while we were drinking, and those Midnight long Drives towards the highway, and ofcourse the Boating at a river in allapey and the Back water rides were the most memorable and the appiest moments of my life. .Here are a few Pix of my trip to Kerala.Every one deserves a break like this one in their life, i wish you all get one!!!!!!

The Koskers

I have decided , from now on i will start and award function in my Blog. the Name of the award is " The Weekend Kosker" . The award would be given to the best movie or any entertaining event of the weekend, that i have watched.

Starting from the the most recent one .

Here are the Nominations...

"She IS The Man"

A Bit of " Bend it Like Beckhem" Minus the Desi Stuff. A Girl aspires to be a a Soccer player. Impersonates as a boy and entersd her brother's college and plays for the soccer team, She falls in love with her team mate. and in the end She emerges as a true winner. Out an Out a good entertainer.

"The Holiday"

The Movie is about two women from different parts of the society. one from the middle class , at the other hand the other from the Glamour World, One from England and the other from Los Angeles. Both Hard-working, and heart broken, decide to take a break and go on a Holiday by swaping their houses. They both do stuff that they have never done or they have done before but long time ago and its forgotten. Fall in love with the right people and finally Happy Ending, or can say a new Beginning.

"Babel"

In the modern world we meet certain people belonging to certain communities with a pre-concieved notion, unfortunately if something wrong happens, the fingers point at them easily, without giving a thought. We need to remember , every person we meet is a Human, there is bound to be Human qualities in him, Making mistakes is also one human quality. The entire Film is based on the Innocent mistakes of people being transl

ated into serious Crime due their background reputation.

And the Kosker for the last weekend goes to " The Holiday.""" !!!!!!!!!!!! A true entertainer with a lot of emotional stuff, specially because, certain things i agreed upon in the film. recently when i had a setback, i did the samething, went on a Holidayt, and it works.

Mistakes.

We make mistakes. we learn after we realise that we have made one. We learn our lessons the hard way and we make a huge blunder by repeating them. Lately i have been very careless with my spending habits , which was quite under control for last two months. also i had this habit of loosing my temperature pretty soon and at regular intervals. Lately i can feel the 'loose control' in my temper once again. My unnecessary breakout the other day that had a mixed emotion, a disapointment of overspending on food and on travelling that day, and a bit of jelousy on one of my colligue for stealing the limelight for performance. The reason is it was always me stealing the limelight in my Previous organisation, somehow the drive is lost somewhere. that hunger and urge to collect more and more is missing, the more i try to gig and excavate the more i tend to get lost. i think a little more analysing is required . Let me build my basics strog at the first place, but i am getting impacient as the day passes by. i need to take a backseat once again . . . Need to take Deep breath and move forward...

A Weekend Of Great Cinema.

Some of the Great Moments From the movie " Sound of Music"- When Maria starts blushing after an Austrian Ball Dance with the Captain, and the Captain's Fiance taunts her by saying" look at you you are all red ", Maria knows she is from a nunnry and is confused whether to be a nunn or to lead a happy married life. She leaves the Captain's house and the children only to get maried married to the captain after having a discussion with her head nunn. "Do a Dear" , I am Sweet Sixteen ", and " These are the few of my favourite things" are Songs that have created history and the movie would always be remembered for these songs.

Sweet Nanny " Julia Andrews. Her first movie Mary Poppins, is a vision and fantasy of young children being deprived of parental love even after staying with their parents, due to their over ambitious nature. Jlia one of my favourite actresses plays the part with great cham. the most memorable scene is when The Nanny Mary starts removing all kinds of stuff from her bag while unpacking, like the huge Hat-Stand, A Mirror and a huge Flower pot. This surprises the children, and put them ino suspicion. The Song " Chim- Chimney and " a Spoonfull of Sugar" leave a mark in your mind

" Growing up is the best experience in one's life. The Adoledcent phase where every one becomes a bi derailed from their goal and motivation , but the experience is sweet and wonderful. The story of a few friends comming from low profile family bacground but huge dream f being succesful, J Jeeta Woh Sikander is worth a place in the History of Indian Clasics. A story of a Boy who gets dstracted by Beauty and money and starts lving in the world of Fantasies returns back after being face to face with reality. The boy who wants to be successful but does not knw how turs into a man with a strong determination and goal. the transition shown is impeccable. " Pehla Nash", and the title track mesmerizes till the core and not forget " Jawan ho aaro" a real life Song .

Last Weekend i was all alone with no Phone calls from my friends or foes, No Last minute plans to go out on a party or for a dinner. Though the fact that no one remembered me last weekend does bother me, Am i wrong somewhere? did i do something that would hurt someone?, no gave me an explanation, I need one , i deserve one to know where exactly i went wrong. I wish they all call me up and atleast let me know what is the area of improvement. If i am your friend i deserve another chance. It is not that no one called me at all. Anil did, He invited me for a lunch at his place back at Kalyan. The thought of travelling far made me feel sick as i do it every day when i have to travell all the way till Malad for my Office. So i politely appologised for not making it. So what do i do??? i have a CD and DVD collection of Old-Classic and New movies. I Sat back watching Classics like " Mary Popins" ," The Sound Of Music" and " Jo jeeta Wohi Sikander". These movies bring memories dating back to my Old school days. I have grown up watching them, i have grown up Listening to their Music. And i have some excellent memories attched with these movies. like for example, Sound of Music was shown in ur College" at Ruias. We had this Ruia Film Society and i was a member of this society. Every wednesday we had a movie screened a classic or an Art Film, but good ones. I still remember how me and gauri a good friend in college had bunked lectures o watch "Sound Of Music" later i also made some great friends in the society, some truly intellectual friends, that made me feel proud of their companionship. Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander reminds me of my summer Hollidays at my Grand Mother's place when i was in School. And a great time that i had with my Cousins watching these movies. Movies, Music , and Novels. though they take u to a different world all together, to teh world of Fantasies, they Do play a crucial role in our lives.

Dada Of Indian Cricket " The Prince of Kolkata"

This is a wake up call for every Indian cricket fans who truly respect their heroes. Ganguly has undoubtedly been one of the greatest players ever produced by India.
He has scored in aggregate more than 15000 international runs in both form of the game, nor can we disagree with the comment that Rahul once made about him: "In the offsidefirst there is GOD,then there is GANGULY". But apart from his exploits with the bat, he will be remembered more as a leader,\>who took over in an era of utter disbelieve among the people of this country towards their cricket team generated for the match fixing scandal and also for some miserable performances on the field; and slowly molded them into a respectable unit worldwide, which could even challenge the mighty Australians in their own territory.

He was the first Indian captain to break away from the shackles of regional politics and had the guts to fight with the selectors for the young talented players, no matter from which part of the country they belong to. Almost all of Team India's stars, \ne.g. Dhoni, Pathan, Sehwag, Harbhajan, kaif, Yuvraj are his discoveries. He supported every player in his bad patches, but he himself was left to fight his lone battle at the end. He took the challenge whole-heartedly and tried his level best.

Mischief!!!!!!

Amidst of all the storm and battle going on in my mind some where inside my brain always flourishes new ideas and ways of playing mischief with people. you play prnks on people whom you either like or dislike. in this case it was towards the "Like " side. A beauty in my batch whose husky voice has always haunted my thoughts, was my next scape-goat. this girl is beautiful, she knows it but , unlike many she never flaunts it, the greatest asset that she has got is her Scissor-Sharp tongue. She can make you feel miserable in front of many with that killing comment that she makes, but we are getting used to it, so we dont get bothered by that. That is Accceptance. A mistery has always wrapped her across that indicates that she has been through a phase that has just added some maturity in her thoughts. Anyways i took a new number recently and as i was messaging all my friends to update their phone book with my new number, i came accross the number of a friend who is bubbly and kiddish by nature and has witty dialogues at the tip of her tongue that can embaress you and make you feel like apiece if shitt!! in front of many. unlike the 'scissor-sharp tongue " The bubbly Girl" will always impress you with her down to earth and a care-free attitude. she walks as if she does not care who owns the world and she never cares if the dress that she has put on is enhancing her beauty or just making her look funny. A girl that has some life , A highly educated woman who shows her education with her actions and not by just going ga ga about it!! truly impressive . so i came accross her number and i sent her a message saying \" i am missing your friend ( the Sharp tongueed one" and that i dont have her number hence i have to message you" . i could not wait for the reactions to come once i reach office. So i reached office and i was so busy at work that i forgot about it after letting a friend of mine know about the prank./ After i reach home i get a message from the "Sharp- Tongue" \\\ " i am reporting this number to the Malad police station whoever you are" for a moment i was scared but i i just messaged her back saying "dont worry i have a friend whose mom is in police". The next day i got a feed back from my Gang who were laughing at the incident as the 'Sharp-Tongue' Girl was offended and she actually called up the police station to report my number, however by the grace of god since i had one of my friends educated about my prank , i was saved as he stopped her from escalating the issue further to the police as it was sent by me one of their friends.!!1 huhh still the Mischief Bug inside me never dies. and will never die..

Whining

Well a Friend in her blog has mentioned about whining, i think she should get over it..... She indeed is whining since long.... but what i have been doing ??? the same thing almost ... that is if u check my posts related to my personal life.... So i have decided ...... No More Whining ... instead fight .... fight like brave man..... BE A MAN and NOT A HEADACHE. sounds good right..... if she ever reads my blog she might feel my whining is on the same grounds as hers... well i have long forgotten them , i fighting a different battle all together, trying to reconstruct the broken roads, Lately a lot of people had opposed muy decission to join 3G, I felt it was a hasty decission to join that company just for the sake of money. Sometimes life makes you do thing\s that you would never want to do,,, however sometimes life makes you do things in spontainity, which turns out to be the right decission. though i sound litlle confused , i know better that i am not. All i have to say is sometimes you need to take a several steps backwards in order to speed yourself ahead. And i have done exactly the same. The battle is still on!! but i am getting a vision though still blurred out but a vision of victory at this point. but cant take a back seat since i have not yet won it. I am currently on a detour, but have already decided upon the path that i need to follow. i just pray to god that it leads me to victory. At this entire process, some of my friends have been a great mental and monetary support to me. I would never forget them, no matter how many road blocks i face in order to save them out of Soup ( God Forbid!) i will always be with them. This phase has been like a filter and a Catalyst to detect and choose the right kind of people eligible to be friends. Lately i am surprised by the kind of support that i have been getting from my mother. But i am really not liking the process that she is going through, i know it is a tough time for her. One thing i am greatful is after that episode , my parents have never questioned me about where have spent the lacs of money i have taken in loan. I hope godess Durga gives me more power andenergy to sustain this crucial phase of this battle and give me victory to lead a great life ahead. I am Positive!!!!!!!!
