Mumbai 1993 Blasts

The Mumbai 1993 blasts are again in the news: On Mar 12 1993 I was on Dadar Madras exp. Just as the train was leaving the Dadar station I saw thick black smoke in the distance far away and a small sound of blast. Never imagined it was a bomb. It was one of the bombs of the Mumbai bomb blasts of 1993.That train was probably the last train that came out of Mumbai that day. I came to know later that there was a scooter laden with explosives outside Dadar station which did not explode Thank God.

Bahubali

Bahubali is an excellent movie.
Noticed that Bahubali goes to war without any head gear like a batsman in cricket going out to bat without a helmet to face a battery of pace bowlers.
And comes out successful due to his superior skills.

Cricket versus kabaddi

In cricket one man (umpire) raises index figure while in Pro kabaddi almost every player raises index finger (Le Panga).

Facebook Posts

My observation about Facebook wall content of ladies. When not married its about their selfies 75 % and pics with friends 25%. After marriage husband appears in few pics -10%. After a child is born its all about their child- 80%, their own-19% and husband- 1%.

Security for mobile

Observation: The amount of Security required for one's smart cell phone is directly proportional to number of WhatsApp groups one is a member of.

Ad for cold drink

The truck carrying the cold drink comes out of the factory. Many people stop the truck and plead the driver to part with a bottle in exchange of money and an empty bottle. The driver being kind obliges every one. When he reaches the destination a cold drinks store he does not have a single filled bottle left.

Titles

In the state of Maharashtra in Western India whenever a person attains a high status in society he/she suffixes their last name with Patil. So Vikhe would become Vikhe-Patil and so on. In North India I found Choudhari or Rao as titles prefixing first name for prominent individuals. I wonder what would happen to a name if a person was born with Patil as last name in Maharashtra and as Rao or Choudhari in North India.

Achievments

My request to Indian Corporates while recruiting is to consider those services received from government agencies without the help of agents as achievements of candidates for e.g. many years back- "Stood in queue for 5 hours starting at an unearthly hour to get a tatkal train ticket"

Indian government services continue to be tough to get though over the years there has been some improvement.

Is it worth it?

When I was a student, the exam results centres at Mumbai (Kalina) and Pune University would declare results. They were very far away from the main gate of the campus. If a student did manage to find the place and found he/she failed, the student probably wowed to study hard and clear exams than keep coming there.

All about bread

Everyday a man used to carry bread on his cart, some bread used to fall down. One day he packed everything properly so nothing would fall down. What song did he sing?: "Aajkal Pau Zameen Par Nahi Paste Mere"

Government Projects

One characteristic of Government projects: Only start date is known nobody knows the end date. Almost like putting your message in a bottle and throwing into the sea and hoping it reaches the recipients some day.

Yo Yo

Liquor companies must be eternally grateful to singer Yo Yo Honey Singh for promoting late night parties, Vodka etc.

Chal Raju

I was humming a tune from a Hindi film it went like "Raju Chal Raju Apne Masti Mein Tu"
To my surprise my friend Ramchandra Raju started singing "Harishu Chal Harishu". I had to convince him that I was actually humming a tune from a Hindi film and his last name in that was only a coincidence!

Rama Gadi

When I was a student in school we had male servants in our house and around. They were called gadi's. By default they were Rama gadi.
A few lines dedicated to these gadi's.
Lady of the house mourns (On the tune of Rama Dubai Mere Rama Duhai....)
"Rama Gadi Re Mere Rama Gadi, Zaadu Marodi, Bartan Tode, Hai Hai Re Kauai Halat Bana Di"
Rama Gadi answers (On the tune of Toote Huwey Khaabon Ko....)
"Toote Huwey Bartano Ko Fevicol Se Jod Dunga, Zaadu Ko Mein Phir Se Jod Dunga"

Hindi Movies Luggage

Wonder why the bags carried as luggage by actors in Hindi films when depicting travelers, always appear to be empty.

To Mothers of this world

You have a 36 hour job to be done in 24 hours. We know you are strong (only next to Hercules). Please take rest once in a while, its not a crime.

Kiska Band Bajja

I remember a student during my engineering college days there was a student who once told that only the PM Rajiv Gandhi and his uncle knew about Mig 27 being in the country. Once we went to Lasalgaon for a friends sister's wedding. There was a band playing music. He informed proudly that one of the players in the band was his friend and very smart. Then he informed there was a national competition of bands and both finalists were from Manmad however the one currently playing was the runnerup.
