SHAADI KA LADOO

June 13, 2007

Well…the other day we got into this discussion.
The girls kept complaining that they don’t want to get married because they feel they would lose their freedom. I am sure my friends are gonna kill me when they read this because, probably I am the only girl who believes in the vise versa.

I believe on the contrary, that its men who lose their freedom. Poor guys can’t come late in the night, cant booze with their friends all night, they have to arrange for the dammed grocery and stuff, expenses increases while adventure in life keeps decreasing, both exponentially. And the worst I heard about my cousin who was a sports freak, has ended up watching the infamous EKTA KAPOOR brand with his wife. Pathetic naa !!!

And now let’s look at the other side of the coin. Before marriage every girl is a CINDRELLA. But after marriage they just turn into a WASHING MACHINE, DISH CLEANING MACHINE, COOKING MACHINE…and then they don’t even realize when this CINDRELLA has turned into KANTA BAI. Still I would say that, the guarantee period for all marriages is 1 year, and after that it actually depends on how well you can handle it.

But I still believe…YEH SHAADI KA LADOO HAI,JO KHAYA WOH PACHTAYA,JO NAHIN KHAYA WHO BHI PACHTAYA….

TOH KYUN NA KHA KE PACHTAYEN…

COMEDY OF NAMES

April 2, 2007

Sometimes I keep wondering what rules parents that they keep such weird names for their children.
For example I had two of my friends, one was called MRUTYUNJAY (meaning one who wins over death) and the other was called JANMAJAY (Don’t ask me the meaning now). Now both the names were too long to spell…but you can’t call them JAY because you can’t differentiate between them. But then the question is what you would call them. You cannot call MRUTYUNJAY as MRUTYU (meaning death)…Imagine how will this sound "HI MRUTYU…WHEN ARE YOU COMING !!? ".

Another of my friends was called SHATRUJEET (meaning one who wins over enemies).
But we used to call him SHATRU (meaning enemy). So he ended up being called SHATRU instead of MITR (meaning friend) by everyone.

This is another irony of having long names. One of my friends got through a reputed organization. She was called SAMAPIKA SATAPATHY. But the organization had the rule of having only eight characters of their employee’s names. So she was called SAMSATAP (meaning…I don’t think it means anything at all). After pulling the legs of so many of my friends on their names, it’s my turn now. I have an offer from the same company now. It’s one of the biggest MNC’s we have today but I am more than scared to join there. I have the longest names among all friends and what I will be called there is my worst nightmare.

A LITTLE JOKE

This is a two-liner joke but I dont have a clue why everytime I hear it I never laugh any less.

Well I wont be surpised it if wont find it funny but somehow I do.

A sardar was busy with his food at a Dhaba when a man came running to him

Man : Sardar jee udhar ek ghar mein aag lag gayi hai
Sardar : Mainu Kee !!!????
Man : Par sardaar jee woh ghar aap hi ka hai
Sardar : Tainu kee !!!????

THE HEIGHT OF OPTIMISM

My Dad has always been my hero.One the characterics that I highly appreciate in him is his optimism.I was sixteen years old when my Dad sent me to hostel.I was supposed to stay there to complete my graduation.Just as it happens in all families,my Mom used to take extra care of my fooding habits.I was fed lavishly and luxoriusly at home.Lots of items on my plate in huge amounts( no wonder why doctors keep hinting me on my extra kilos).Now when my Dad was leaving me at hostel, he had to get his child all things I would ever need,starting from a mosquito net to a safety pin.

Cut to the hostel canteen.
After 6 hours of rigorous ragging,at around ten 'o clock night I got hold of the tray that my Dad had got for me and left for the canteen.I saw a long queue for food(as long as the one I saw when I was trying to get the tickets for Diwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge) and the wonderful food we had - chappati and Aloo Gobi ki sabji(it was said that if you shouldnt shout that you had managed to get one gobi piece in your plate,otherwise the mess is gonna charge you more for this).Suddenly I found my seniors staring as if I were a monkey in a zoo.While two of them actually came up to me and asked where I had got this tray from.And then the lucky tray was actually getting more publicity and popularity than Shahrukh Khan.

Still guessing the reason why???
That is because for the chappatis and the poor Aloo Gobi sabzi my Dad had actually sent me a 2 feet long tray which had twelve big sections for twelve dishes.How I wanted then to pull his nose till he howls.Certainly I was in no mood to appreciate his optimism then.

LET THE MEN FEEL GOOD…CHECK OUT

1. When you are going to choose a girl for marriage more than eyes its important to keep your ears open. You have to hear her more than anything else for the rest of your life.

2. If you have a poor father…its your DESTINY, but if you have a poor father-in-law…its your foolishness.

3. Where is a man the BRAVEST???At home or Outside???...At home when his wife is not around.

4. What is the difference between a LOVE MARRIAGE and ARRANGED MARRIAGE?
Same as in NATURAL DEATH and SUICIDE

LET THE WOMEN FEEL GOOD NOW…CHECK OUT THESE NOW

1. Men are like POLITICIANS. For getting the power (the girl here) they would make thousands of promises and once they get it (i.e. marriage here), they forget everything.

2. At the traffic signal, I told my husband “LOOK AT THAT TRAFFIC POLICE, HE IS STARING AT THAT PRETTY GIRL SO SHAMELESSLY!!!”. He jumped on his seat and said…”WHERE WHERE WHERE…!!!” .


3. There are times when young girls get very desperate for marriage. Every time you feel like it just take a deep breath and say thrice “SAASU MAA…SAASU MAA…SAASU MAA..”…you just feel like marrying anyone anymore.
