Ek anjani si - 2 ( I received a letter )

[For better understanding of this story refer first part of “ek anjani si”]

I received a letter…

Today when I came back from my office – the security guard of my bungalow handed over me an envelope... (Actually its big bungalow like building and I stay there as a tenant in one of the flat of that building and that too with 3 other people)

Those 3 people are not just my flat mates they are my best buddies (they forced me actually to write this line)

By the way, back to main story…That envelope contained a letter – It’s visible from outside (not the content, of course)

I was surprised. I mean, come on yaar!!... - In the era of computer, mobile when we used to communicate via SMS, email, chat, somebody sent me a letter.

I was curious to open that, but as usual it was raining outside (It always in Mumbai)… So I went into my flat and opened that...

Oh my God! Its hand written (after all, who the hell sends a letter nowadays and that too handwritten, at least not me.)

Shit... Shit… Shit... (I mean to say Wow)

 It’s from a girl J

I started reading the letter –

__________________________________________________________________

“Hi love (actually its “hi nilesh” onlyL)

You must be wondering who I am… (Of course I am)

Any guess??

I am not going to tell you...

You have to guess (duffer, how can I guess?)

You must be wondering from where I got your address..?

See it’s very simple...

I know your name... So I searched you in Orkut where you have mentioned your complete address along with your picture (Orkut... Does she still use Orkut? She must be some old fashioned girl. I mean writing a letter is ok, but Orkut. It’s too much)

So, how are you? Must be enjoying your life… and I hope you miss me (It’s my misconception that girls only talk nonsense... they also write nonsense... are! How can I miss you without knowing you... at least tell me who are you)

Actually I thought (oh! so you can think also) that you must be angry on me (I don’t know whether I was before, but till that time I was really getting frustrated... are! tell me at least your name)

So I decided to write this letter. There is reason behind this... You must be wondering about the reasons. (uff...stop using this word - 'wondering' again and again.. its irritating)

See I don’t know whether I did wrong or right by giving you my wrong number … I am sure that you must tried to call me... (Calling...? wrong number?  Ohh shit!  I can’t believe this...  Is it she?)

See that was first time I met you and how you behaved. You jumped from the bus and came behind me. I mean who do this and that too just to talk to a girl? (Dear for your kind information boys do this type of things for girls only)

But later on after reaching my home I realized that yes, seriously who do this... Jumping from a bus... I mean its craziest thing anybody has done ever for me (give me a chance, I can do many more craziest things for u)

I hope that u still remember me? (How can I forget you?  It’s her... The bus girl...  Ek anjani si ladki)

I stopped reading the letter in between and started thinking of her…

“Its more than 15 days... I think it was 10th of august…

I was in the bus.  I met her there…

When the first time in my life I did that unusual thing…  I jumped from the bus to follow her (so that I can talk with her)...

And not only succeeded in talking to her...But I had also taken her number... (Lucky I am)

Then later on next day when I tried to call her I came to know that she had given me the wrong number... (She made me a fool... I was sure that just like number the name was also wrong)

Huhh... Let it be. Go to hell... I thought - Why to bother about one girl...There are other girls also… (There is no one actuallyL)

I am not going to search her., I decided (actually I have no clue how to search her)”

And now after these many days she sent me a letter. I started reading that again.

I don’t know why I have written this letter, but there is something that forced me to write this.

I gave you my wrong number… I am Sorry for that dear... (This dear is the most confusing word that girls often use for boys.  Am I actually her dear or she uses this dear for everyone?)

Although I have written this letter but still I am not sure about you or may be about me. (And here I am not sure that whether u r mentally alright or not)

I want to tell you something; actually that’s the reason behind this letter –

“I like you”. (Wow... she loves me... after all like – love, just the little difference of 2 alphabets... Being an optimist I can read it as love)

But with this letter neither I am sharing my mobile number nor my address. (This is not fair…here you are saying that you love me... ok likes me, but you are not even ready to share your contact, then what’s the use of writing all this bullshit)

Let see if the destiny allow us to meet or not... (Destiny my foot)

Wish I will see you again somewhere...

Bye dear”

Hell... listen first of all I am not your dear… neither I am any more interested in you… what a boring girl yaar!

I mean if she is not interested in sharing her number or contact address, then why she has taken so much effort to write this letter…

Now the situation is I don’t have any information about her... And I don’t believe in destiny, especially in a city like Mumbai there is no chance that I can see her somewhere again in road or bus…

Anyways I think it’s the end now….. No chance to meet “ek anjani si” again…

Begging – A new Profession… and it’s growing prospects…

[This article has been written in a sarcastic tone.]

My last train journey forced me to write this article. I was in the train when a child of about 4-5 year came and starts begging for money.

You must also have experience this type of situation. It’s not unusual to see the beggars in train journey.  Mostly they are children.

 

Hungry face, negligible clothes on their body, the situation automatically demands help. Actually it is the poor condition that strikes your mind and heart.

We start feeling their pains. It is the pain in their eyes which actually forced your heart to help them by giving money. 

This happens especially when that beggar is a child. These all creates an environment in which automatically your hand goes into your wallet and money comes out.

So effected by the created environment you give them some money (They usually accept money only not the food  ... strange enough  ... seeing the rise in food inflation)

Anyways u gave them money and the show end... They move ahead to repeat the same show in front of some other passenger...

And as soon as the magician (beggar) went, its effect also ended. All that hungry face, help seeking eyes went out from your mind and you stop thinking about the show. Anyways why you should think? You have seen a performance and you paid for that also.

Isn’t it was an easy way to earn money. You have to impress the audience by your presentation and happily they will give you money.

I think we can include begging in the list of professional job. The job advertisement for the post of begging can be something like this.

Job – Begging

Required skills –

• Magical tricks (We need people who can hypnotized others),
• Acting skills (your acting should be natural),
• Presentation skills (you should be good enough to present your pain, hunger in front of others)

Job type – Part time /Full time.

Salary – Depends on your performance.

Place of Posting – Near by railway station.

Note: Children Preferred.

I feel proud on myself when I read this last point. Children preferred. This is the reason why this profession is growing. It is giving opportunity to the children. No other company, no other profession had ever thought about children, as they prefer young adults only.

We should also thanks to the people who are encouraging the children or their parents to choose this profession. Seriously, I don’t think the children are matured enough to understand the benefits of this profession.

Someone is guiding them, to choose the right career path. But our government never encourages such great people. They are doing such a great job by removing this unemployment problem. Actually these are the people who understand the root cause of the problem. Hats off to such people, they are really working hard to grow this profession.

I feel proud to be called as Indian. I mean people of which other country thinks so much for their children.

But there is a small problem, which I think government can solve easily. Our law doesn’t allow child labour. Although we hardly follow this law, but I think now there is need to change this law officially.  We should allow the children’s to work, at least as a beggar.

At last I can say that begging comes as a new opportunity for the children, to grow, to learn and to earn. And it’s our moral duty to support this. So it’s my appeal from all of you to help me by sharing this article so that we can force the government to allow the children's to work as a beggar.

Ek anjani si - 1 (The bus girl)

10th Aug, 2011

Time: 7.30 PM

I was in the bus.. Returning from my office... tired...u can imagine the condition of a private employee....

As usual like any other IT guy I started doing my favorite time pass (don’t think naughty, i was listening music)...music starts playing in the whole bus... it seemed that every body started singing...

Suddenly I looked besides me, A girl was sitting there..

Simple.. Natural.. ok ok type you know..

She was talking to someone..(Must be her boyfrnd)

God knows how can each girl has a boyfriend..

And here in my friend circle of 7 people, no one has a single girlfriend..(Not even a single to share among us..)

manjula... i heard manjula.. she was talking with a girl.. nt with her boyfrnd... wow .. don't know y but i felt better... i stopped my music player and started concentrating on the real music, conversation  of that girl..

(are!.. i will come to badlapur.. we can meet there.. any time u say.. hey have u seen that movie.. he looks handsome in that movie.. v can go  together..)

can somebody tell me  - do girls always talk rubbish?..

if someone else was there instead of that girl i might feel boring.. but there is something in her.. its not what she is talking.. its how she is talking.. her voice modulation..the way she uses her hand.. her facial expressions...

Its more than 10 minutes now,  but She is still on phone…

(but why u stay there at badlapur? its nt a nice place. instead of badlapur you can stay somewhere else.. u can hardly find any place in badlapur)

suddenly bus conductor asked - “madam!.. where you have to go?” and she replied- “badlapur!..” The conductor was shocked.. so as me.. badlapur .. mam dis bus does not go to badlapur..

Then she realized her mistake and was stammering- “no no no.. Sorry sorry not badlapur... i have to go to ‘Patli pada’..”

both the conductor and me started laughing..  

after that she again started chatting with her friend..

and I started thinking of all the possible way to start a conversation with her..

Finally, its only her who gave me the topic… actually she was talking with her friend only, but this time about some classes and lectures and all..  So I decided that as soon as she will finish her call, I will talk to her on this matter..

But god knows whether she has dis free recharge or what.. the bus reached her stop ‘Patlipada’ and she was still on phone.. she get down at her stop without giving me a chance to talk to her..  I have to get down at the next to next stop.. the bus starts running again.. leaving me no chance to talk to her.. and I feel  that my story ends here..

Suddenly a person jumps out of the bus… He falls on the road..  Must be a mad guy, I thought.. … wait a second,   y  my knee is paining?..  (shit it’s me who jumped out of the bus).. whats happening yaar. How can i?

But this time that girl noticed me.. don't know whether I was imagining things or what , but it seemed that she passed a smile..quickly I got up from the road and approached her..

“Hey if u don’t mind can I talk to u for a minute?”

“What?”

“No, it’s just that u were talking on phone about some lectures and all in the bus. And I need to ask u something related to that”

“Ok!”, she said and cut her call (ya!.. she was ‘still’ on call).

“Hey!.. we can walk and talk… u stay near by only?”

“Yeah!.. at a walking distance only.  Tel me what u wanna ask? First tell me!.. do u also have to go to dis side only? Or its just I m going to dis side, so u r also coming with me”

(is she flirting with me?)

“Ya!.. actually I live in “waghbill”, the next stop.. but its ok I can walk with u .. there after I will come back”

“ok!” she said and smiled..

I started chatting with her..

Sometimes u feel great while walking also (I mean only when u r with a girl :P )

There were some boys standing on the road side.  staring at us..(must be jealous of me.. poor guys.. they must not be having any gf)

I was talking about all the things but teaching job..

(Neways when u r with a girl then who is interested to talk about teaching and classes)

Suddenly she smiled and said – “ by the way u were supposed to ask about my coaching classes?”

“ahh.. ha. Yes I was”

“then ask”.

“So r u a full time faculty?”

“No, I work in a company name ‘Bluestar’ as a software engg. and on weekends I take classes. And u?”

“I work in TATA Motors and I m also interested to work as a part time faculty in some colleges on weekend” ( I lied, I was interested in nothing but talking with her..)

“r u really interested to know abt my lecturer job?”she smiled again

“do u hv doubt on me?”

“umm yes .ha ha .. by the way I lives here only”

“What? Have we reached.. so early yaar!..”

“yes, so early.. only 15 minutes walk” – she  said and winked.

“hmm”

“so…”

“so what”

“so its nice meeting you.. see ya bye “

“ok! bye”

And she walked away.. I was standing there itself..

Then I realized – I m a fool.. what I am doing.. and I run towards her..

“hey wait . wait . wait.. can I have your no?”

“y do u need my number?”

“so that in case of any query I can call u?”

“umm ok..” she smiled (lucky I am..)

After taking her number.. we said good bye once again..(Actually 3-4 times)

thats d beginning of my story.. lets see where it ends… I am thinking to cal her in night(it’s the best time to talk with a girl).

Dosti apni jagah hai, aur paise apni jagah....

Tomorrow is frndship day...
 but from today onwards I started receiving wishes for that..:)

but there is something that irritates me..

There are some   SMS, dat i usually receive on every such type of occasions.

" Happy frndship day in advance to u..
quki 1 din baad paise katenge..
dosti apni jagah hai, aur paise apni jagah.."




"kal frnship de ke din airtel, idea, vodafone sab bhikari company paise kategi sms ka..
 dats y i am wishing u frndship day in advance"


I dont understand ki who is really "bhikari" .?. dat mobile operators or this people.. ?
even though they will charge a little bit higher rate for SMS on such days(day r here for business), den also how much dey charge ? max to max 1 rs per sms...

so what? cant u afford dat?.
ok.. u hv so many frnds.. so msging all on d same day vl cost u higher than usual.. dats y u r sending them msgs a day before...
but atleast dont say in ur msg ki next day u hv to spend more on msg dats y u r sending it a day before...

"kal paise katenge...isliy msg kar diya - advance me wishes" is dat make sense...? it irritates yaar..


if u think so much abt money den better dont msg me at all, .. and neways if u r my frnd den it doesn't matter to me if u dont send msg me on such occasions.. frndship doesn't run by msgs only... Ita a bond between heart to heart.. not mobile to mobile..

Shouldn't we just jump out of the rat race?

Shouldn't we just jump out of the rat race?  
few days back My best frnd Purushottam Kumar Dewangan asked dis question  to me...


And we ended up with no result..


So he put his thought as a post in one community..


Exactly in his words - Here is a very important question I want to ask to all my seniors and teachers.
Why in BIT(my engineering college)  we are groomed with the mentality of going for a job and doing it all over life?... Why so much of importance is given to the job?.. We are born with infinite possibilities and different kind of talents. Sumit Ghosh sir, Satish Ray ,Mayur Kukreja, Jay Prakash Yadav etc (dis all r the product of BIT). took a different path in life and they are doing great. 
Shouldn't we just jump out of the rat race?.. I am eager to know your views on this.

Few comments on his post - dat i think i need to mention here...

• Manish Gupta Bro, by what you have written it nowhr suggest that u r asking about whats BIT preaching us..and btw this is the story of every institution in India. and in my opinion Limiting or Expanding Possibility totally depends upon the Goals a person has set in his life, in conjugation with the way it foresees the surrounding.

  Robust Ravi Bhojwani One single ques. did you thought for having your own venture when you were studying? Even if people think, they are bound to run behind getting jobs. Reason behind is many come for engg. taking loans and for many family is dependent, some have responsibilties of marriage of sister, some have altogether different responsibilities. Those born with silver spoon and and those who don't have responsibilities, can take risk without any tension. A person with responsibility can't take a decision to be entrepreneur , as chances of failing is too high being a fresher without any knowledge of industry. Do a market research and youll find that most of people failed being entrepreneur , and those who still tried became successful in avg 8-10 years....
  
  Its very easy to say buddy but there are things which stop you... But those with strong heart and will to do, do it...
  

Its very easy to say buddy but there are things which stop you
Its very easy to say buddy but there are things which stop you
Its very easy to say buddy but there are things which stop you

almost same kind of response he got from all ...
but he is not anyone, he is my frnd -  Purushottam Kumar Dewangan ‎


He did it..
Today evening he called me - and just said one line.. " i Resigned form my job, so dat i can start my own venture.."

Sarang Pendharker i think we should stop taking bomb blasts so sportingly.......
there is blast... next day everything becomes normal, we shout the "spirit of mumbai" "spirit of mumbai" for few days and forget everything........ then there is another blast, another series of deaths.... What do we do...?? the same "spirit of mumbai spirit of mumbai".....
bomb blasts are not the thing we should be getting habituated to.....




Rahul Deshmukh Bull shit.. they can not scare us because we are already scared impotent people. This blast is happning again2 in same places everybody knows that can not be done without the help of the local network but when police try to grab that LOCAL NETWORK human rights people will come, politicians will come because they are vote banks. Dont know about you but i am scared, not from them but from my own impotent gov our own useless and shameless HUMAN RIGHTS activist. yes i am scared




Sagar Deshpande sir please stop putting up such updates....itz no joke....i have stayed in mumbai enuf to know...what shit this spirit of mumbai thing is....people hav no options but to work and even if a few thousands stop comin to work by being scared no one will notice it in the crowd of lakhs...
Der is no spirit anywer....
Just think of the ones who lost someone before mocking out and saying it hardly matters....
If anything please dnt put up such statements....
Itz the job of media to come up wid fancy terms...
Dnt fall prey and write such stuff...
If u cant help atleast show concern...




Deepika Jain ‎ Nobdy z strong enuff 2 absorb dis cruelity !! It pains yaa !! Juz think bou doze hu lost their lives !!




Anuja Zanzad we are not stronger at all dude! we are just way too soft thats what they know. How many blasts in Mumbai can any1 tell me? i m missing on the count ? and how many times have we spoken about our UNDYING SPIRIT ?? Its all shit man ... we have missed the bus now.. nothing can happen in our country now... same way blasts will happen n ppl will die. Its really disturbing for all of us... but again the words remain unspoken and actions remain undone. Sad but truth!




Pooja Agarwal agreed with deepika.....

Santu Paul nothing will change...the lives of the men on the street are at the disposal of this corrupted political system of India..everyday train accidents,bomb blasts ..these have become routine affair now.If u fight for the good cause,u will be put behind the bar but u kill someone nobody will dare to touch u instead u get 5 star facility.. hehe..we may die at an age of 50 but KASB will be alive till 100 for sure.without any job or service he will lead a luxurious life forever....this is INDIA..!!!




Purushottam Kumar Dewangan WELL WELL WELL, after reading all comments:

APJ abdul Kalam once visited Isreal and there was a bomb blast a day earlier, He picked up the newspaper to learn about that. To his astonishment he found that The front page of the newspaper showed a picture of farmer who was able to grow tree in a desert. Media, there donot try to create panic but optimism that we can fight back.

The aim of all the terrorism to create terror. You all people seems to be in terror. Congratulations to the terrorist, they succeeded because of you chickenhearted people.

Anyday the no of people dying in mumbai due to various reason is far more than that who died in terrorist attack.

The way we can fight back: 1. Technology : Having more security cameras on soft target areas.

2. People must be more aware of and easy ways to inform police of any suspicion

3. Politics: India is too important to be left on the hands of impotent politicians. You want to fight them jump into politics. I dont want to fight. I have a different aim in life.


The problem is no body has taken it in the right way except purushottam


as i m nt saying ki v r habitual.. and i m nt shouting "spirit of mumbai "..but yes take it sportingly.. sports... what its teaches us.. stop shouting - v r lossing.. come in front and do something.. fight against it.


somehow i support rahul .. atleast he is saying ki he is nt scared bcoz of terroist... he is scared bcoz there is something wrong in the system... but can i ask u rahul ..who is running the system?. r they from d outside world ?.. no.. they r also among one of us.. who choose them? .. we.. who r in d police?.. we. who r in the politics?.. we.. and who r the people in the human rights? .. we only... so r v scared from ourself?...

to ‎Anuja Zanzad i can only say kiwow.. fantastic speech... 
bt u know what anuja..
"again the words vl remain unspoken and actions remain undone"

zindagi chura lo

Tez bhagti zindagi se kuch lamhe chura lo,
na mil sake kuch aur to muskuraht chura lo,
sham dhalte hi dhub jayega suraj,
waqt rehte kuch roshni chura lo....
