Subject: Idle Ramblings

After a gap ........not long one though i slowly started to write sumthing....generally when I am observing sum thing or going thru sumthing.... then i always think kii yaar this i shud remember to mail ...sort of mailing in the experiences.....
but mostly these thoughts remain thought alone...

Generally i have something conclusive to write about and then it develops ...today it is just ramblings..........

The cubicles as i described earlier in my office are of a height kii i am dwarfed....toh even if i stand up no one will cum to knw
unless of course ur the person in my next to next cubicle who is above 6" in height.....

So it came as no surprise that i hav almosted crash landed into many ppl...... when i get out of the cubicle i kinda march ahead or rather forge ahead.......like a bullet ( not exactly i am not the size of the bullet though and army truck wud be better) .....so it is like 'na aav dekha naa tav'

And the startled guys are the poor ppl who are cumign from the opposite direction.....

toh generally it is like .... now ppl who hav almost crashed......before they come near my cubicle take a wider circle so that esp they are not hurt.....

When i imagine it from their perspective it is kinda funnny.....

today it was amusing when one collegue just stood... freezed out.... while i was almost rushing out to update sumbody......he saw me rushing(uskii height above 6 ft hai ) so he kinda freezed while telling me he was averting a possible mishap.........................
------------------------------------------------------------

I just dunno understand the concept...... i mean in the cafeteria i can many ppl having ghaas poosss(Salad's) ....mostly lettuce and lot of variants...
agar itna hii concious hotein ho toh duniya bhar ke type ke cheese kyun daaltein ho.....
also there will be one bottle of coke or pepsi......(frm which angle are either of them healthy?? )
kya pata .....samaj hii nahi aatee......

today had sum dish frm cafeteria...
ek serving of rice (sum kinda masala rice i think) and one chicken and then one serving of sweet corn....and sum kinda sauce on top it....
it looked like straight out of TV cookery shows.....
my collegue and i had were having it and i was like completely taken over by the looks and all
and i asked kii yeh kaunsa type ka khana hai (tasted pretty indian) is this the thai ...kiii mexican variant.....
toh mera collegue bola..."yeh american hai ....and i guess the serving is so small that kuuuch aur bhi lena padega....."

------------------------------------------------------------

Aaj cafeteria mein baithey toh ekdum lag raaha tha kii india mein baithey hai .....kyun?
arrey TV pe CNN pe Mumbai ke blasts ke feed chal rahein theey
Mostly the same feed ko hii infinite loop mein daal diya....
par baas yehiii kiii ekdum lag raha tha kiiii Aaj tak chal raaha hai ....
waise agle table kiii madamjee soch rahee thee kii new york mein dhamaka hua .....hey bhagwan.....
Mumbai is mumbai whether u like it or not....and it always will have a soft spot

It has an identity of its own.....and it is in many ways the city that never sleeps
Countless reams have been written on the Spirit of Mumbai.... so not repeating most....
Also throughout any friends with remote connection to mumbai....dhadaaa dhaad mailing mailing to find out kii everyone is ok or not...

I guess for most Mumbai is just a place known or been but mumbai in itself is a vibrant and a different metro.....
glad that it is not like many other metros....
While ppl are aloof and always on the move yet u do find realistic ways in which ppl do ensure to enliven the way they interact ...they help
Of course the grey and black sides also exist but in general ppl are such kiii they are wrkign towards making a living and in the midst of the harried pace they do stop to help .....they do stop to get up in case of adversaries and stand up and pick the Pieces and forge ahead.....

And thats one of the things we need to be grateful for kiii Gud that everything went back to normal in a short time and 'Touch Wood ' it remains that way.......

I guess pretty soon sumone will definately protest against ekta kapoor........
why suddenly u might wonder ..... am i raving abt the poor kid who kinda struggled up to carve her niche in the tough bad world of film industry......

it all started when my roomies found a way to see the TV serials.....
For a person who got Tired of serials where Taa raa ra Tara made headlines...... (i stopped seeing the serials long back...wud prefer movie or a one episode one day sitcom ne day)

So during dinner when they used to see , since i did nt have anything better to do... i was also seeing it...... the 30 min serials are generally classified as

5 mins - Previous Day recap
5 mins - Ad... (fortunately ek site mein woh bhi nahi hai)
5 mins - sum song khushi hoga toh sum gaana bajana..dukh mein sum other song.agar gaana nahi hai toh phir se ad.
10 mins - 2 mins worth of front,side, zoom view of all the characters including the butler......
in between few lines in which u cum to knw wht the story is( 0.0000000000000001 % of the story so that they can drag the story till eternity) ....
also maybe sum other serial kii character or sum hero or herione will make an appearence....
and sumtimes in the serial ad.... for eg:
Character A : July 17th or sumthing mein kahii nahi jauungee...
Character B and C : Kyun
Character A : Golmaal release ho rahee hai naaah it has my fav actor....(does character A mean by any chance Tusshar Kapoor ...seems to be seen )

Last 5 mins are preparing for the sudden surprise for next day......
And haa bhalein hiii u can't hear the dialogue but u can definately hear the background song.... which in this serial is 'Kalyug ' movie ka song....arrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhh

and then finally the torturous..... half and hr is over
where i hav a whale of time criticising everybody and my roomies are trying to figure out the serial in middle of my running commentary......
For those of my friends who have experienced the running commentary i used to giv at movies.....try not to sympathise with my roomies yaar mere ko jara sympathise karo :)

mostly filled the mail with nonsense.....padh looo reading improve hogeee :))

tak care
Tina :)
P.S : agar mailing list se hatana hai toh just intimate me ok ...
