Its Christmas eve! Even though i dont actually celebrate still i like Christmas pretty well..i am not sure why..i think it might be because in my schooldays we used to get a small cake for Christmas as ours ws a missionary school....and cakes symbolise everything Goooooood! Besides "Christmas" sounds so good and strong on speaking!
Had a short visit to my Nani.... in Hazaribagh.....a place truly symbolising Jharkhand....., cows doing G.D on the main road and the only response to ur continuous honking of vehicles before them is a "Moo!" as if saying "Chill, u Crazy dude", majority of the people listening to "Appex" iPod or wearing some "Addas" apparel. Once i had gone to a shop asking for a "ball" and the shopkeeper asked me "khelne wala" ya "jalane wala ball"? I was not surprised.
I survived inspite of my small cousin sister making me sit and watch Sinchan and Doremon on a daily basis, n my aunt n Nani making me watch Saathiya and a soap in which there was a Mother in law whose eyes were always so wide open like on a Black Ops mission and she kept asking everyone trivial questions like "ruko, bahurani kaha ja rhi hai,.......wha kya kaam hai......". I was surprised no1 opened her head with a shotgun but i guess my Nani wont be pleased if they started taking out shotguns and sniper rifles in the TV soaps!
Went to a picnic with family and some people from my apartment.Jonha Falls. I wish Jharkhand Govt would show some gratefulness to me in the future for this free promotion of Jharkhand tourism. Grand place, Awesome climate, Picturesque scenery. If ever you are in Jharkhand and want to have a tour of some awesome scenic place please do contact me. I like the scenic places much more than the shining clean malls with overpriced things and stars made all over the place referring to "Terms and conditions applied".
Here is a fun fact. Can you tell which is the 34th highest waterfalls of India? Hundru Falls in Jharkhand. and i can boast i have been there.
Did i tell about the awesome train journey from Kanpur Central to Ranchi Junction on 10th of December,2011? Two things were of notably interest. I did not have a confirmed birth and nor did my friend Pranav aka the Mota aka Guddu Halwai. So i decided to take a nap on a vacant topmost berth till someone interrupts me. Now it happens that no one really interrupted me during the entire journey except the TT and a romantic conversation going on the berth opposite to me. I wondered if someone with the berth had not turned up there and even if so why did the TT did not assign the seat to some1 else with a waiting ticket.The mystery was solved later by Pranav who clarified that the berth belonged the boy and the girl who were sleeping on the birth opposite to me lost in their conversation and they must have realised that they did not need another berth!! Must i say with tears in my eyes that those who are in true love are the most selfless men and May God help them to overcome the goons who will be sent by the boy's father in near future to separate them. The second interesting thing in the journey was a group of most learned individuals in the coup next to us. Their interesting conversation immediately prompted me to try to record their talk in my mobile but could not have much success. Looks like Samsung needs to improve their sound recording facility in the phones. As far as i can recall they talked about almost every "need to be urgently discussed" topic of the world and even threw light on how micro organisms would lead to the end of the world in 2012 and how all Russia and USA were fooled by some company to engage in a battle for oil and all the ammunition were exhausted and they realized about their stupidity and took to peace!! Clearly till then i had never heard of such a battle and also not knew that USA's ammunition exhausted at any point of history .With so many learned scholars in every nook and corner of the India how do we still fail to succeed?
Read The Prisoner of Birth by Archer and Tell Me Your Dreams by Sidney Sheldon. The first one is too good! It has compelled me into reading Kane and Abel which is going quite interestingly currently.
Clearly Archer likes to write about stock market and banking, going to jail, extraordinary talent in Mathematics and good friendship in his books while Sidney Sheldon has more variety of topics including crime, supers-scifi, criminals on a run, Multiple Personality Disorder, etc. I watched the end of Toonpur ka superhero which looked clearly to have copied the fight sequences of Neo Anderson of The Matrix. Revised the movie Sholay on Zee Cinema. The theme music of the movie is better than what people remember .Perhaps a Hindi analogy to the music of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly which is absolutely terrific.
Over and Out.
