Thoughts!

As soon as Maddy went to meet him, they quarrelled for a while and then, the guy punched him on the chest, it was 3:30AM and no one on the street. It wasn’t just a punch, he had a pocket knife in between his fingers which nobody observed, and stab on the chest. Maddy took a moment to realise and the other guy ran for help, Maddy’s school friend had encouraged the guy to go for another stab, and then went another stab, Maddy started to run, and he stabbed him on his back. After running for almost a kilometre, Maddy fell on the street near his room. By then the others had gathered and they started looking for a car to go to the hospital. The passing guys denied help and crossed. Somehow a bike was arranged and Maddy was taken to the hospital. It was the eve of Diwali, and no doctors, the junior doctors were operating, it was more of an experiment for them. Maddy passed away within an hour of treatment. With no proper doctor, and no conveyance, we lost our friend to a bruta...

October, 2010. My 7th semester exams were 3 days away, and tomorrow is Diwali, this is my third consecutive Diwali away from home. We had given the last practical exam of our engineering and everyone was in an upbeat mood. The guys in formals and all the girls were looking pretty. It was the communication skills lab, and we made it the photo session. It was rare when everyone looked stunning. That day everyone wanted to be clicked and be framed who knew what was coming our way would shake our lives. The session got over, exam got over, and all got back. Preparation holidays were basically, a time when we would dust our books, and start looking for the right books, which would be perfect for the one night setting. So I had been busy doing that the entire evening. The dinner came home...

Sixty later, 2050 February 20 th , 8:00AM The smell of spirit filled the corridor as doctors and nurses hurried out of the ICU. Pushing the cops away, the doctor came to me, and said “Sir, his condition is stable but not conscious, will take another 6-8 hours to regain consciousness.” I heaved a sigh of relief “Thank you very much doctor, can I see him?” “Definitely sir, but just you” as he signalled towards the crowd of politicians. I entered the room, his body had shrunk, bandages all over his chest, and the ventilator over his mouth looked out of place on a person like him. I remember the day he picked me up from a group of kids who were caught for picking pockets, I was 10 then, today I am 40 and the successor of the Common Man’s Party (CMP). He named me Shreyas. (Remember Shreyas Talpade of Iqbal, a 2007 movie), that’s how Shreyas is pronounced. I held his hand the way he held mine 30 years back, and went through all what he had told me about his life. ...

something she is perfect at. The best part was I hadn’t met a girl in ages who liked cricket. Boom she came! Beep brr Beep brr... “Shut up rabbit, am feeling sleepy” She called me bunny rabbit, this has a long history, and I broke my front tooth, when I was 5, in an accident where I tried to act like a superhero. So the tooth which followed was not very impressive, hence I was termed the bunny rabbit, and the only person who stuck to that name, was Shreya! I knew where to get her too, in class 4 fancy dress competition she came along with a huge cut out of a milk bottle, and she got into that and gave a long introduction of how milk was good for health. It was actually impressive and she stood first, and I called her bottle. So I was the rabbit and she was the bottle. “Soja na, it’s your time to sleep, good night shreya, take care J ” Delivered to, Shreya. This had been our routine, for more than two years now, it was like we knew what the other did at a par...

Twenty Years later, 2011 Beep brr beep brr… There goes my phone, staring at the phone; a smile appears on my face. Text message from Shreya “What happened? Why no replies?” And the smile stretches. Isn’t this the story with every guy?? By know you must be thinking that she is my girlfriend and etc. I won’t blame you guys; there is lot of Bollywood running through us. She is my best friend, and I love irritating her. So this was one of my ways to do so, I wanted to write and so I shut my phone for a while. But I won’t disappoint you by telling that I don’t have feelings for her. “Nothing was caught up with something, what you doing?” Delivered to, Shreya. That makes my day, every time I am down, and this point of time I did need this text. It is nothing new, a guy falls in love with his best friend. The same love bug had bit me, but yes unlike the other guys who are scared to tell the girl, I did tell her that I have feelings for her. Beep ...

Page 3 Yea sure, I was telling them what a great guy, you are. Anyways do not bore them, keep them reading. Fine people, now that he is getting excited I will hand it over to him. I’ll be back, don’t worry. Thank God, he left I really wanted a Rajnikanth introduction, now that he has spoiled everything, but guys whatever he said was total truth. Now my story doesn’t have IIT, IIM or a touching love story. So even before you start let me inform. The very first incident of my life made people freak out. (If you are wondering what it is, let me tell you it was the incident when I pissed on the nurse the moment, I was born). Everyone was expecting shahid Kapoor to be born but unfortunately it was Johnny Lever. But then it wasn’t in my control god sent me that way and then he had other plans. It’s always been a tradition that things pass on from one generation to other, and the same thing had happened with me, in this case I had received diapers, yea you read it right, I got ...

Page 2 There is a story that a rich marwari was drinking tea and all of a sudden a mosquito falls into it, the guy simply pulls out the mosquito and drinks the tea, YUCK!! You and I would have not had the tea. I don’t know when this story came into existence but I am sure it was made up by a sardarji who was trying really hard to stop the world famous sardarji jokes, but unfortunately didn’t work out! Rajkumar was the youngest of the half a dozen brothers and sisters; I still don’t understand what gave them so much stamina. He married an educated lady named Sunanda; she had done her B.Ed in Hindi and was a teacher by profession. The marriage was an arranged so there was obviously no caste problem; both were from the same village named Sardarshar in Rajasthan. It is said that one day Rajkumar saw Sunanda walking along with her mother, Rajkumar winked at her(not the mom, guys) which Sunanda’s mom saw, and very soon they were married before anything else could happen, and in spit...

Page 1 Oh my god! Now that you have started reading this, let me pray for you. May your soul rest in piece or rather pieces? I don’t say this torture, this is the ultimate torture on the same lines when Himesh Reshamaiya is on screen, thinking of the so called HE-MESS freaks me out. My apologies with all the pun intended. You need to be a pervert to actually understand most of what is written. Never mind, but if you think you can insult my work, please BACK OFF! These are shots of tequila, which are a contribution of all my friends. To experience this I had to witness a scene of the Indian parliament, where I was the speaker and my dear friends wanted to contribute to the making of this book, with whatever crap they had in mind(Off course not the literal crap, please stop thinking crap!). Trust me all of them were as bad as our Himesh Bhai’s movie. As I am a pathetically bad writer, I decided to go for all what they had to offer, and at least make it a GOOD- bad book. Even ...

There has been a phenomenal growth in the education sector in terms of business but the real motive behind is long lost. Inspired by the latest trend, the term ‘Edu-Cash-in’ is coined. If its education, its cash! Schools, colleges have minted money, and analysts call it the best bet over the next two decades. Let’s see how it all fell in place. Economy grows, companies require good people to work, with adequate skills, now here the passion to learn is taken over by the sheer goal of acquiring skills for ‘money’ (pay). The government is falling short of time, so private players cash-in the opportunity and there you find yourself in the education revolution of high tech gadgets and swanky classrooms, off course all that comes with a hefty price. Simple economics isn't it? To add a little flavour government decides to increase the demand of education by keeping the reservation system intact, and hence the problem of wrong people in the right place arises, now the right...
