My foolproof plan ...

Kaam se daro nahi, kaam ko karo nahi ...
Kaam karo na karo, kaam ki fikra zaroor karo ...
... aur fikra karo na karo, bhaiya zikra to zaroor karo ...

I didn't meant to start filling my blog space with the accustomed cries of my office work load, the lines were projected to only drag your kind attention h'ble readers. Allow me to take you through the other momentous issues of life, like lets take a look at my India trip plan ...

My India trip plan, mulled over every minute possible stumbling block and brood over all the alternatives, contemplated over each and every aspects ... financial, social, emotional, physical and almost every possible 'al' (didn't we? kill me if any of the 'al's we missed), considering everybody's conjectures (including the weatherman and the economists), geared up to satisfy everybody's expectations, wrought over a period of approximately two to three months (A record itself isn't it?) ... is about to collapse (sigh) !

Enauguration of this large scale demolition of my beloved plan will be done next week by Ra, his managers are not agreeing to his seven weeks of holiday, nobody's manager will, I already told him before planning, but he said he will make this eighth wonder of the world possible. And before Ra comes and declares this to me officially, I am declaring this cruel truth here in my blog space ...

next week the managers of my big hubby's dream land will negotiate his big dreams of seven weeks of extravagance to a three to four weeks of holiday endowment. Yes they will and then I will give Ra his share of surprise ... I will declare my cruel intention of going ahead with my plan alone, it is indeed a never before thing, but I have already made up my mind for this ... since the situation here is little critical (I will justify myself in my next blog, pls dont start thinking bad about me).

But oh Ra I will miss you a lot ... who will now carry your frail lady's big suitcases, who will fight with bangalore auto wallas now, who will carry your gals shopping bags, who will save chocolates and wines from customs (ok this one I will manage, Ra should be worrying about this, who will now save him from customs in Mumbai airport, I am good at it you see).

and Ra who will save my sofas from your bathing towels, who will devour that variety waala bread and jam breakfast with you everyday, who will save the eyes of your office collegues with the brightness of your bright red and white shirt with equally white pants, who will listen to Usha's and My's and Jhon's and Jubin's stories every evening, who in the world will serve as a doubles partner helping other side to win the game, who will share a laugh on kalvin's imaginations and who will shed a tear on freedom at midnight partition stories, who will stop you from browsing whole night ra and who will save you fmro the monsters hidding inside your bed ... don't you think it will be little difficult?

Ganapati Bappa Moriya !

Yeah ... life is seeing lots of ups and downs these days, my trip to India is only four weeks ahead and unfortunately things are taking unusual turns, I am looking forward towards you Ganesh Jee to calm down the things and to kick off a hale and hearty commencement.

Yes fifteenth of September gonna be a decisive day and that too in your favourite land of Mumbai (I guess so since you are seen in maximum numbers there only). Ganesh jee my dear Ganesh jee mumbai me to aapki chalati hai I know ... you can not ignore my appeal!

I know I was wrong in bewildering your chaturthi as a reminder that your friends Ram and Lakshmi bhagwans's Deepawali is near by,
yes I was wrong in bewildering your chaturthi as some small festival celeberating the start of season of festivals,
yes I was wrong in bewildering your chaturthi as a inauguration of those pink wintery afternoons,
yes Sir I was wrong in bewildering your chaturthi as a day to buy my first patakha of the season,
yes yes I was wrong in bewildering your chaturthi as a day to devour my first laddu of the season,
yes yes yesss I was wrong in bewildering your chaturthi as a day to get heavenly permissions for raising the wordly roofs for a couple of months ...

But if you give it a second thought (I mean if time permits you in your busy season), fortuitously I did took you as a start for everything good in the world ... didnt I bhagwaan jee? And thats what you are ... aren't you bhagwaan jee?

And ok I also understand that in fact I am a true paradigm of the "dukh me sumaran sab karein ... sukh me kare na koi" lines (mean me!). I realised the true sense of Ganesh chaturthi a little late (actually very late) but the point is I did ... kya boltoy hai Ganesh jee? Maafi milegi sarkaar is paapi ko?

OK just one more point to defend myself ... you know I am not remembering you for myself ... so in a way I am not that selfish but since I am asking for someone who I love more then myself ... so actually I am being selfish ... ooffo bada cofusion hai bhai ... kya selfish ki no selfish? You decide bhagwaan but please consider all of my points and then I understand whatever you do will be the best for us ... I trust you!

moriya re bappa moriya re ... ganapati bappa moriya re !!!

Tum Pukaar Lo ...

Pallu of her saari starts humming first by the touch of gentle gust and then goes Hemant Kumar sa ma ma ga … humm hm hm

There is something in this song that gives me goose bumps every time I hear it ... I wonder whether it is Hemant's velvettee voice or Gulzaars tranquil lyrics or Waheeda's eternal beauty or unseen Dharmendra's charm or the charisma of that pallu alone that creates all that magic; but one thing I am sure about is if intezaar thyself had any voice of its own it would have sung Tum Pukar lo ... tumhara intezaar hai !

My only complain with this whole song is why didnt they show me Dharmendra's face even once? Whenever I see the song I always want to go inside the screen and I want to turn Dharmendra towards the camera ... I wonder can any of todays khans create the same restlessness among gals without showing there faces even once?

Everytime I hear this song I fall into the state of some kind of silent intezaar and my ears expect to hear some distant pukaar yes everytime. I kept on maturing year by year ... boyfriends kept on changing ... but the link between this intezaar and Hemant Da's pukaar is like immortal ... for what I do not and neither do I wish to know.

Would like to put few lines of one of Hemant Da's bangla song ...

Amar gaaner swaralipi lekha rabey
Pantha pakhir kujano kakoli ghirey
Agami prithibi kaan petey tumi shuno
Ami jodi aar nai ashi hetha phirey
Tobu... Amar gaaner swaralipi lekha raabey

[The chords of my songs will be preserved in the tunes of the flying birds. The future world may listen to the tune of my melodies. Even if I do not return here ...The chords of my songs will be scored]

Hemant Da future world is indeed listening to your melodies and will forever be grateful to you for providing us such a splendid chords of songs!
