ORDEAL OF PURCHASING A CAR

Bhagwan ko yaad kar ke yeh post likne chala hoon, kahi woh naraaz ho gaye toh double bonanaza ke saath na mila gaye... anyways i believe what ever is inevitable shall have non mercy..
This begins the day my big brother called up to say that he has made up his mind to purchase Maruti Alto after giving due comsiderations for over a year now and then the game begins...
Rates speculated to increase by next year which was 12 days thence, have to find a suitable dealer who could give the best deal anywhere in India though CSD( Canteen Store Deptt.) where either i could go or my Big brother could reach.. And guess what it worked out to be Jallandhar depot and chandigarh dealer.. Now the next thing was to take a loan of the amount specified by the dealer and no where were the 10-15 daysgone to apply for it and get the money through the limited military means.. Well then ALMIGHTY said "TATHASTU" and from nowhere came a praposal to give me a cheque of an amount little less in just three days.. WOW.. now after a lilltle running around i got the cheque and got it deposited..
Now the next phase starts when after three days of depositing the cheque i planned to go, after asking for two days leave to go to the depot(which is the most difficult task in fauj) after getting the draft made.. 0900 i left for bank to get the draft made nad guess what murphy tells " kAHAN BACCH KAR JA RAHE HO" the cheque was not encashed into my account and will be done after 1200.. 1245 still in bank and draft being processed.. 1330 i get the draft and i rush for jallandhar which is three hrs away and depot closes at 1630.. now the bus service and MURPHY laughs again.. into the bus and meanwhile try to get in touch with my friend to intimate my arrival and MURPHY again laughs , got the no had some conversation and then line went dead.. few more tries after every 10-15 minutes.. phone ringing and no pick ups till 2200 at night when MURPHY had already said CHALO CHORTHE HAI TUMHE.. anyways coming back to the bus with MURPHY'S smile still on, it took me more than i could have expected for a three hour journey and i reached 1800, so now no pick ups from my friend and me in a place where i had no basera i strolled in the town with the sun having left me to meet the next day i walked into an army mess tried a few nos and to my very expecation reply was"SORRY SON BUT LET ME TRY"... and the nearest and most reliable option was Air Force atation but was 45-50 min away and the way was still to be found..
Then came the Angel to my succour "THE TRY WAS SUCCESSFUL" and i had a roof to sleep under, so then went along the night with peanuts as my dinner (though the plan was to have something better with my friend)..
Next say morning 0830 left for the depot to be opened at 0915 and then came MURPHY 1115 and me still with the papers to be submitted... 1200 finally am done and leave for chandigarh to collect the CAR.. catch a bus and wrongly belieced to reach by 1400, so THE SMILE WAS STILL ON.. 1600 i reach the dealer's place and a promised time of 2 - 3 hrs before the car is delivered is assured.. AND MURPHY again SMILES.. my old classmate wished to meet me at ambala in next 1 - 2 hrs and wanted to stay for the night so few calls and room is arranged.. now its 1800 my classmates reaches my place along with her mother in law and me somewhere oblivious of the time am going to take.. few minutes and i get a call from my classmate"YAAR NO WATER IN YOUR ROOM AS MOTOR BROKEN DOWN" and i say why am i not there... few more calls and my dear colleague a noble doc helps them.. 2030 and finally after lots of gospels spread around by me i get the car and i rush home MURPHY STILL NOT READY TO LEAVE and i get lost on the way back.. how to get out of chandigarh and i reach same place after some turns and i just say THANK GOD I KNOW AM LOST else i would never have known and the night would have been even longer..
Finally 2200 and i reach the room where my classmate is staying and a rishwat of mithai and fruit and nut in addition to asking apology by getting blessing after touching the feet i survive for the wait of 4 hrs for her and follows a peaceful meal and a peaceful night only to find in the morning that her car's tyre is flat...

BEBO

Well this is the next edition towards saying things which i have given a little thought, thats Kareena Kapoor, i am some how loving this creation of God, not because her acting impresses me or her figure is such that i keep imagining the rest of her. The only reason of falling in LOVE with her is her being GEET, and its this character played by her in JAB WE MET that has stirred me and given me certain issues to think about. BEBO( I love this name and also it belongs to Kareena so GEET or BEBO means one and the same to me) has played the character so well and the good things which emerged from the movie has made me think and put some of them down.
The way SHE has been brave enough, naughty enough, later sensible enough that the whole amalgamation of these attributes made her a special one for me. Also her inspirations to Shahid inspite of her not been there in his life, mere the way of life which BEBO teaches him does wonders for him. And thats what excatly i am trying to get at INSPIRATION, not many people in life inspire others like so and particular thing makes me FALL for BEBO.
This is for all those people like Shahid meeting people like GEET/BEBO and getting inspired by them. Am sure we all have such people in our lives who have affected our lives in a similar fashion, however small their contribution might be. So for once we can close our eyes and thank them as i have done right now. It makes me feel they are somewhere near telling me how much they care for me and this is just a peanut effort from me to tell i do the same....

LOVE Vs UNDERSTANDING

Hi Again....
This time the topic is which i had seen believing in since the last few years. Can something called LOVE exists or is it pure UNDERSTANDING which takes two different people to all the happiness life it has, for one another or is it how well we understand each others need and give each other company when they require the most. The answer is rather not easy.
Now I define LOVE in my own words, its the feeling which we develop for one another just by seeing a few actions which seem to impress us and we feel good about it, pure actions and their inferences in our own way or rather what we see we believe. The company of one another becomes so insepeperable that we just keep thinking about the other person and what they did and how did it impressed us. The actions done could have been deliberate or instinctive, that is just not what comes in our mind and we blindly believe what we see and the goodness attached to it. Well its an amazing feeling which if had not existed the world would not have been so wonderful for young hearts.
Now the next is i.e UNDERSTANDING its also inseperable part of LOVE, till the time we do not love someone we shall never care for that person. But that is not what UNDERSTANDING is all about its a step further into the realities of life, when you know the other person needs to leave its LOVE that makes you cry but its UNDERSTANDING which says GO and BE HAPPY wherever you are, its love which makes us remember Birthdays but its UNDERSTANDING which makes the other person know that somewhere that we still care and remember the ocassion even though we could not say it in so many words.
Its LOVE which makes us laugh at the silly jokes cracked by the other person but its UNDERSTANDING which makes us scold/give VISHESH TIPPANIS on any subject to the other person when we feel that might help the other person. Its LOVE that makes us hold the other person from saying goodbye but its UNDERSTANDING that makes us realise and accept that for the other person's betterment we need to let them GO, but its pure un understanding when the other person keeps saying 'I LOVE YOU' and we never understand the depth of it and realise it jsut when its time to part and we desperately want them to stay but its now gone for ever, then we think either come on she could have waited some more time or i was a DUD not to understand that(choose whatever fits or maybe both). Its LOVE when we forget about our parents, who have raised us with all the pains anyone could ever take, and go ahead with our decision to go and get married to a person of our choice inspite of them not being willing for it. But its only understanding when either we decide to convince our parents on the subject and ensure they do not get hurt by our decision and take care that in future they never repent allowing us to get married in an environment where they could not get ever get comfortable into, after spending their entire life in another set of condition, in such case the level of UNDERSTANDING with our parents is far beyond what we can expect ,or the other one being letting the person whom we love so dearly go with a person who belongs to the same kind of family as she is where there would be lesser number of problems to face, the major one being exchange of thoughts between everyone would be more simpler. And mind you in the latter case the most difficult task is to inspire the person we love dearly to go in for the other person.......... depth of this is far beyond words.
Few people get love before understanding(love marriages), some get understanding before love(arranged marriages), some get only love(broken love marriages/mutual parting of ways), some don't get any(estranged relationships) but none get understanding alone as Love has to be there to develop understanding, so all of us who feel there is no love but only understanding need to rethink on this aspect.
Now all this is just a thought one can think upon while writing. Hope this gets me BOOKERS' at least...
Looking forward to get a combination of both LOVE and UNDERSTANDING where i can say my thought on this particular topic has borne some fruits for my own self...

INSPIRATIONS

hi everyone,
new to this forum but still it seems very familiar, seems like my own place to thank all of them who have always been there and me like a fool, was never able to tell them how much they meant to me some left and some who are still very much there with me, i honestly would never want to part with them but tomorrow is where i have no control over but sincerely wished i had that.
This blog goes to my not very old friend, who has been so very understanding that i earnestly wish to have an eternal bonding with that person, never loose and awlays have the ever satisfying company, but its life mate and you never know whats in store especially when it comes to my life which has been a roller coaster ride where it was a steady run till the time i left school, there after there has been equal number of highs and lows, the latter been more piercing and have left some scars which i had honestly tried not to part with as it keeps reminding me the cruel lessons of life. Till off late when i met this friend of mine whose way of life has inspired me till such an extent that sometimes i have envied the style of thinking and somewhere wanted to have that kind of attitude in life, after so many challenges in life my friend has come out thanking everyone who had given the troubles and never shyed from giving a helping hand to others and the greatest example who could say this all is no one other than me, what i want to tell everybody out here is not that person's name but the way of living which can inspire others in all odds of life give others the happiness of being there, of taking on the troubles of others without a second thought and doing the best you can. Though i in my life have not being of much or maybe any help to my friend i wish to convey this to my friend that i shall sincerely regret the day when that person is not there in my life, and i also will never be able to stop my friend when the decision comes from the other side to leave ............
Anyways life is like that and especially mine where people dread to enter but those who are there have never regretted of being there.......
For all those who have known me well and have shared similar thoughts with me its you and you alone... thanks for your help and support...
Cheers to life and the spirit of life. Hope GOD gives everyone a friend like my friend and of course me as a friend to my friend.. confused.. anyways... HAPPY LIVING.... HAPPY FRIENDSHIPS...

PS: Do post a comment to this post it shall be helpful to me not to tell my friend how many posts has this got but to make me improve as i have always tried to and my friend earnestly would have wanted that i do....
