Symphony of the VOID..
This one's very weird (with a weird title as well). I dunno but such abnormal cerebrations have always been a part & parcel of my not-so-normal head. And i guess many of yours even. So here's one of the few. Enjoy
Have you ever wondered or analyzed what "VOID" actually means. Emptiness is an obvious answer. I know. But I don't simply agree with it. I'm like one of those who happen to have a confused-yet-so-clear temperament about the general scheme of things. Most of my thinking revolves only around one thing..one question.. "WHY NOT..???".And its amusing because it tends to fetch you very distinct opinions & diverging answers as you apply it to the most obvious banal stuff. Thinking like this is difficult yet so simple to comprehend; ugly yet so beautiful in its own sense & mourning yet so blissful in the end. Maybe that's the reason I tend to act so-like-an-idiot in most of the serious situations or maybe a complete shocker at times. Well, that's what I prefer to call "The Symphony of the VOID". The term itself is so ironic, a paradox in itself. How can something which is VOID be symphonic at the same time. It can be. Read on..
The VOID can be anything, anywhere. A person, an environment, a relation, you, me. Anything. The best way to exemplify it to think about a pipe. An empty hollow pipe. A small one. Nothing in it. Total crap. Of no use what-so-ever. But then you pick it up take it close to your ears & whoa..It starts humming.It starts singing into you. The little piece of metal actually stores in itself the magical sound of silence. It stores in itself the sargam, the symphony along with which the entire universe hums in unison. That's the "Symphony of the VOID" which you can only feel. Never express. And its unique to everyone. Difficult yet so simple to comprehend; ugly yet so beautiful in its own sense & mourning yet so blissful in the end. It helps you to answer the trickiest conundrum ever..What is LIFE ???. Simple. Its a VOID. Its a VOID. Yes & the only way to understand it is take it close to yourself & listen to it. You'l be able to hear the symphony as well. The melody which will make your lips curl upto your ears. And then you'l realize the power of EMPTINESS. The power of NOTHING. The Symphony of VOID.
So next time whenever you feel low, depressed, feel like the VOID inside you taking control. Let it do. Because it might just be helping you to understand the SYMPHONY stored inside.
Cheers

P.S: Nothing to say. Completely VOID. Hope you get that..:D

Saat Samundar..Dhik Chik Dhak Chik...
Its been a long since my last post. And it was a bit serious too. So I was just wondering for the past few days what next to write about. Hmm.. then I kinda recollected this another stupid incident happened with me & my friends. So here's an insight into our stupid world...
It was last year I guess & there was some occassion when all of us had gone out for a late lunch. Late, because when we guys start deciding about what place to go, time just flies away in a jiffy. And we end up going to the same place always...So as expected, even this time it was the HIMALAYA restaurent near Shanmukhanand Hall in Sion. We hogged some good punjabi dishes as usual & were on our way back to matunga station. We thought of walking it up till there for many reasons..the prime most being noone ready to shell out a single penny on the cab...( yes.. we are cheap..!!!)So.. there we were, 5 dolts walking on the footpaths on our way back.
As we near king circle, we sight a "GANNE KA JUICE" waala. We go in to have a glass each. As soon as we enter, we are welcomed by some loud music played in the shop's background & the amplifier was blissfully playing it at a full bass. We all sit there. Everyone looks at each other & in split seconds we are on our feets--dancing to the track SAAT SAMUNDAR. Some age old famous DIVYA BHARTI track.
We all start singing loud---
WE-- Saaaaaaaat Saaaaamuuuunnndaaaarrr...
LOUDSPEAKER-- Dhik chik Dhak Chik...Dhik chik Dhak Chik...
WE(again)-- Saaaaaaaat Saaaaamuuuunnndaaaarrr...
LOUDSPEAKER(again)-- Dhik chik Dhak Chik...Dhik chik Dhak Chik...
WE & LOUDSPEAKER together-- Saaaaat Saaaammmuuunnndaaaarr paaaar mein tere peeche
peeche aaa gaaayiii...
(Meanwhile our glasses arrive at the table. One of my friends, K, lifts his glass,holds it on his head & starts dancing again. Inspired by him, others follow suite-- Drunkards high on nothing.)
WE & LOUDSPEAKER together-- Zulmi meri jaan.. Zulmi meri jaan tere kadmon ke neeche
aa gayi.... Saaaaat Saaaammmuuunndaaaar.... wah...
Hahaaha... We come to our senses after finishing the glasses & also the juicewala is about to pack up. We thank him for the juice & the free ENTERTAINMENT & We all head back on our journey again enchanting the two golden words-- Saaaaat Saaammmuunnndaaarr..Dhik chik Dhak chik...
Cheers
LALIT
P.S: Sugarcane juice can actually give you a HIGH at times.

Main Kaun..???
Alright before ME or YOU start with this one, I warn YOU that the following text may hinder YOUR mental development drastically. It may even push YOU into a state of total cerebral disarray eventually leading to an attack--Which type I seriously can't predict. So it totally depends on YOUR discretion to continue further or no. Here it goes...
Once upon a time L hears one, stupidest of the stupidest joke ever in his LIFE.The joke is so lame, so utter non-sensical crap, that L just can't stop laughing after hearing it(Yea.. L is a little crack up there.. but still anyways). He just can't wait to say it out to his friends & check the look on their faces.
L starts—
Ek baar ek sardar rahta hain. Woh Amitabh ka bahut bada fan hain.
So ek din woh decide karta hain ki Amitabh ko milneka..iiich. Aur woh
Mumbai me aata hain.
Us din Amitabh ghar pe akela hota hain. Sardar uske bangle ke watchman
ko bolta hain ki usko kuch bhi karke Amitabh ko milne ka hain. Woh uska bahut
bada fan hain aur bahut dur se aaya hain. Fir watchman usko jaane deta hain.
Sardar darwaze pe knock karta hain.
Amitabh (andar se) -- HAAI.. saala. Kaun hain.. HAAI..
Sardar(bahar se) – Main hun..
Amitabh( fir se) – HAAI.. saala. Kaun hain.. HAAI..
Sardar(fir se) – Main hun..
Amitabh -- HAAI.. saala. MAIN KAUN.. HAAI..
Sardar – Tu AMITABH BACHCHAN…hhahahahahhahahhaa
L bursts into a thunderous laughter. Along with him many from his group do the same. The girls however choose to be indifferent as usual. L & his friends continue their stupidity. They repeat the lines & start off again. L wonders, looking at others who don’t seem to enjoy the joke as they do—“ How can you guys not laugh on such joke yaar..?” ( L, seriously is dumb…)
Cheers
LALIT
P.S: A few days later, one of L’s friends K has to go & meet some M.Tech student A, who takes their laboratory projects. K’s never seen A ever. Still he goes. K reaches the probable location & asks some random guy sitting on one chair.
K – Sir, A sir kidhar hain..??
A - Kya kaam hain..??(The others in the background start giggling & K doesn't
understand what's happening.
K (again) – Sir.. woh project ka kaam hain. A sir kidhar hain..??
A (laughing) – To phir MAIN KAUN hun..???
K ( in split seconds) – Tu AMITABH BACHCHAN…hahahhahahaha
A’s mouth is wide open as his brains can’t register what exactly happened.

45 minutes==4 Stages of LIFE..!!!
I m back..After not so long but still. Anyways hope all of you out there are doin good. So here's my new post. A complete knowledge of what LIFE is made up of. And by LIFE i'm not talking about my LIFE or your's or someone else's in particular. It's all about LIFE in general. Atleast thats what he told me. He who??? Read on guys..
One morning at around 1130 hrs I had my appointment with some eye-specialist to get my contact lenses done. So I had to get up early & leave with my dad to see the eye-doctor. So at around 1125 hrs I reach this building which had a kinda shady entrance--the ones like the typical commercial buildings have which came up long ago & then had noone to look after. Hmmm.. So I reach the desired place & walk upto the receptionist, which again was one of the typical receptionists you have at the typical commercial building offices. i verify my appointment & then wait for my turn which thankfully was 2nd.
The doc walks in like at around 1145 hrs & the 1st guy enters his cabin. I was sitting around, reading some stupid mags lying here & there, completly unaware of what is gonna strike me in the next 45 mins to come. The 1st guy walks out & its my turn. I look at the clock & it stares at me-- 1150hrs. I enter the cabin.
The doctor was a bit old-- in his 60s mebbe. I didn't expect anything different either. He asks for my name & then proceeds on with my eye check up. He puts some device on my eyes & then starts experimenting..hmmm.. actually playing with it. He puts in one glass inside it & then asks--Hows this..??. I say-- "Ah ha.. Not that good". He goes again. I answer. He goes.I answer. Fnally he stops & gets my actual lens power. I look at the clock again-- 12.10. He calls in my dad then to explain him the details & get his fees. And then starts a conversation which I like still remember. I simply can't erase it out of my memory.
After a little hi--hello with my dad, He starts. And man did he start well. I was just stunned at what struck me after that maybe because I was completly unaware of what was gonna shoot me off. He said--" Temme your age beta.." "20" I replied & then he continued as if there was no end--" See, you are just 20 now. This time is for enjoying & understanding what LIFE is. LIFE is a simple concept of four stages. Stage 1-till you are 25 yrs old. You are in this stage. In this stage your main aim should be studying & working for your future. All your concentration & efforts should be focussed towards building a good career for yourselves." I wondered what the f**k is this guy talking about man. LIFE..???Shit.. But he had more.
He continued--" Stage 2-- from 26 till 50. In this satge you shoud have all the "FUN" in your LIFE. Get married. Have kids. Enjoy your work. And understand your responsibilities towards your family as well. But ha the "FUN" should never die out you see." Man.. the face he made when using the "F" word was something to watch. It made the unhderlying meaning crystal clear to me. And to add to my misery,my dad as well who just kept staring at me wondering how the f**k am I taking all that. Anyways the doc continued--" Stage 3--from 51 to 75. In this stage you should think about serving your society. Your involvement in your family which now has like your grandchildrens as well, should be minimal. You should think about the society." I was just on the verge on loosing it now but was somehow controlling it. But He seriously had come prepared to give someone his piece of mind that day.
He--" Stage 4-- from 76 till you are alive. In this stage...." Knock Knock.. Someone comes at the door & gosh i'm relieved & i guess so was my dad. But He is pissed. The look he gives to the nurse says it all. I look at the clock--1235hrs. "F**K ..!! 45 mins!!!" I shout out loud, in my mind obv.
We leave the place as fast as we can & i promise not to visit it again. I seriously had some crap put into my head which made it go bonkers for sure. But I guess the doc surely might have enjoyed.
Cheers
Lalit
P.S: Sincere thanks to the nurse who came in & saved me from some more mental torture. But wish she could have come in a little early..[:D]

Insaniyat..!!!
Hey everyone..
You guys might have heard about the recent blasts in the Jaipur city. The bomb blasts ripping off the enitre city into pieces. Killing innocent lives. Rendering several homeless. Many children lost their families. The pink city was all red. Red with the bloodshed. Red with the tears of so many. For some it was victory & for some a huge defeat. But it's not the triumph of some "jihadis" over us. Or the loss of some governement against an organization. It's the loss of HUMANITY. Perdition of our so called "INSANIYAT".
Have all of them forgotten that the ones killed can someday be replaced by themselves. Killing for no damn reason. How the hell is this justified..? Anyways.. my BAND had decided once to compose upon such a theme. And that's how this song INSANIYAT was born. It emphasizes on the one question wandering through everyones mind. Hope you all like it.
Here's the link -- PLAY.
Insaniyat
Lyrics-- Sudhir Khollam
dhuan… hai kyun itna dhuan
hua… najane kaise hua
kahan… hai chali yeh duniya
jalaa.. isme main kyun bhala
kho gayi…hai chaahat kaheen
ho gayi… sabhiko nafarat yaheen
kho gaya…jaise yeh caravan
ro raha…har ek insaan
hogayi… … kaisi yeh aadat
khogayi……..Hai….. Insaaniyat
dhuan… hai kyun itna dhuan
hua… najane kaise hua
main chala…ab duur kaheen
ho jahan… sukuun vaheen
pyaar ho…. aur nafarat nahin
jeet ho.. kabhi haar nahin
hogayi… kaisi yeh aadat
khogayi……..Hai….. Insaaniyat
Talkover:
Khaali the tere haath; jab tuu aaya tha,
Saath bhi apne kuch nahi le jayega
Zindagi mein teri,
mutthi bhar khushiyan;
mutthi bhar gum;
Par jeene ki vajaha phir bhi rahegi… Insaaniyat
Zinda hain tu is duniyan mein
Karzdaar hain tu iska..
Farz hain tera yeh karz chukaana
Insaniyat ke diye ko bhujne se bachana…
Cheers

SHE, HE & THEIR LIFE.
This one's a little bit off-track. But was just wondering whether I can write some serious stuff as well & mold it with some of my sardonic comments as usual. That was the birth of SHE in my "little-brain-big-looking head". Dunno how these cerebrations developed into a total personality & eventually into something which I could actually write about here. Anyways, as simple as the title to this post goes, the story below is the same--She, He & Their LIFE..!!!
Actually, you guys might be wondering what exactly these three entities symbolize . It might be " A mother, her son & their LIFE", "A sister, her brother & their LIFE", or maybe " A girl, her guy & their LIFE..". Sorry to disappoint you all. But I could think only on the lines of the last option. Man, writing about a "Mother & Son"pair is too difficult I feel & "Sister- Brother" blogs don't sell that much.. haha. So I chose to be safe & sell-able. Here's how it goes.
She was a simple, average girl & He was no difference. Both had a simple LIFE until they met each other & it all turned opposite. They met through a common friend which soon was gonna become an “uncommon” one. As expected, slowly & gradually, He & She became the best of friends. People started raising their eyebrows. But got the same old reply—“We are JUST FRIENDS”. Days weren’t complete for them unless they spent hours of it talking to each other. Days turned into weeks. Weeks into months. And Months into years. Actually only a year. Years is too long a period & I don’t have that much of time as well to insert a twist in the story. So yea. Where was I. Ha. And months into “a year”. The day arrived when they completed one year of their “AMBUJA CEMENT “ types friendship. Why AMBUJA CEMENT..? C’mon people..You haven’t heard –“IS CEMENT MEIN JAAN (LIFE) HAIN..”. Even their friendship had a LIFE & it was time to give that LIFE an altogether new & different meaning. He somehow collected all the bits & pieces of courage he had in him & proposed She. She couldn’t believe what struck her but couldn’t resist the effect either. It was one of those enthralling moments of She’s LIFE. Also He’s. As expected She said YES. She had to. Otherwise how could I go ahead with my storyline. So for me, She & He were finally more than “JUST FRIENDS”. Their LIFE had begun.
Cheers
LALIT
P.S: I guess I can actually write a lil bit of serious stuff. Hope it wasn’t boring. Even if it was I just don’t give a fudge..

"MICA BITWAAH KI MITHAI"...
Hey everyone..
Here I go again reminiscing another funny incident of my life to post in my new blog...Again before starting I'm sorry for using another insane title to the post. Anyways here’s how this one goes..
We were sitting on the last bench—me & two of my friends amongst whom one was a girl. My other friends were sitting ahead of us & the Madam was as usual explaining something from the dais. My other friend had got some MITHAI BOX from
Cheers
LALIT
P.S:- The funniest part was that the one roll no. the professor didn’t take was that of the same BHOJPURI master friend’s. HAHHA… Pity that guy seriously..!! He had to sit for the entire lecture all alone while we enjoyed recollecting the incident outside. Hahaha… “MICA BITWAAH & MITHAI” saved our a***s from some sick chemistry stuff.. N ha before signing off ..Special Thanks to the BHOJPURI movies for gifting us with such whacky titles. Ciao
Enjoy.

PASHYA 'DA' FATKA, VIR 'DA' DHABA & KULCHAND 'DA' PAAN
This is my first blog. I was waiting for quite a long time, finding different reasons to start blogging but just clouldn't find an interesting subject to write upon or may be i was just lazying around avoiding it intentionally..(hmm.. this one actually sounds genuine..). But anyways here I am. Finally penning down my first blog. Here it goes...OK.. one more thing..Now before starting off, I apologize for that insane title. But just couldn't resist using it. Reason, you guys will find out as u read on. So, here it goes.. again..
My exams got done on friday & dad had already made a plan for the weekend. I was supposed to go to PUNE to some "aunty of mine's" place. He really wanted me to come with him & mom to meet this aunty and her family.(crap.. i just don't get the concept of what our folks mean by "meet someone"..).Anyways i hopped on and agreed to the plan. Not because I can't see my mom & dad disappointed. But because they were supposed to go by our car & I so desperately wanted to drive. Yea seriously...The level of desperation was same as my dad's. Although his was for a different reason--getting a "free driver". Anyways , all things set & we moved out on saturday morning at around 0700 hrs & thanks to the "free driver", we all reached my aunty's place by 1000 hrs. And ha the drive was actually amazing.
The place was awesome. Trust me guys, we people in mumbai have forgotten the concept of bungalows. An entire 3000 sq ft area just for you & your family. Amazing... I liked her place alot. Oh. i just forgot to mention. She has a son, Satya, of the same age as me & doing the same studies as me. That was the main purpose of me going with my folks. I atleast have someone to hang around while our folks can have their same old "who's who & who's done what" chats. So as expected my plan was set for the night.
The coming night was simply superb. I wanted it to be exciting but it turned out to more than what I had expected. Satya called up his friends in the afternoon—“ Pashya, Anpya, Shikya &Vickya..”to meet up in the night. These are not their real names ofc but the “..ya lingo” which
they have can butcher any damn name in this world. So for them I was "Lalya". Anyways, of all the above, Pashya was kinda the leader. I could make that out in seconds after I met him. An average guy with an average posture but a mouth big enough to eat up the entire world. That was Pashya. After picking him up from his workplace, we three—me, satya & pashya head off on satya’s bike to live the night away. And yes, we drove ”Tripsee – Triple seat” The night had just begun guys.
Phew..!! That was one close encounter. But now all was settled & we were on our way to "somewhere" which yet was undecided. I just wondered what more i'l have to face because the night was just young.
Unamiously,(except me obv..) it was decided that we are heading towards VIR’DA’ DHABA. On our way, Satya told me that this was one of the most happening places to be on any weekend in Pune. Pashya & Vickya had promise me one hell o a time & trust me guys it was one hell o a party going on. There was a bacchanalian going on which included young & old both. For the first time ever I had seen around 500 drunk people just doing the two things which they were best at—drinking & dancing. Music was overflowing & was adding fuel to the lightning atmosphere. The ambience of the place was simply amazing. Even a person who has got two left feet viz Satya couldn’t resist shakin a leg r two. The energy in those drunkards was seriously conducive. After an half n hour dance we were relaxing on one table, both tired & enthusiastic simultaneously. Satya explained me that all the people who work in the different I.T. companies in Pune come over in the weekend here to chill out. I was just stunned to look at the party happening. All the people unanimously shouted at regular intervals VIR ‘ DA’ DHABA… CHAK DE PHATTE as the owner VIR SINGH looked proudly at them. There were “Dhols”, “Nagadas” everything. True to its meaning, VIR ’DA’ DHABA kicked ass.
The night was just folding itself up. I was lying down on the bed reminiscing all the anecdotes . My head was still spinning & in that spinning head like moment, I spun a fibre of thought that I would surely write about this one of the most adventurous night of my life. I got up the next morining. The hangover was still felt. Pashya & Anpya had left. And I had just started the structure of this first blog of mine..
LALIT
P.S:- Now you the reason for the insane title of this post & also the reason why i couldn't resist using it. N ha one more thing. Thanks for reading my first blog. Hope to find you guys soon in somtime. Btw here are their actual names...
Pashya = Prashant
Anpya = Anoop
Shikya = Shikhar
Vickya = Vicky & last but not the least
Satya = Satyakam
Enjoy
