A "Good" Night 4 me.


It was again a lonely night for me and no one was with me and i was just looking out from the window and different thoughts were crossing my mind.. what to do, what not to do.. as now i had started feeling the burden of the problems i was facing.. i didn't knew what to do?

It was not the first time all this was happening and we all come across these situations in our life.. sometimes on smaller issues and problems and some times may be quite serious ones. And if we don't know how to face all this.. there is some thing which automatically drags us through all that and eventually that phase gets over. Days gets past and again some days after we see our self again sitting besides the window one night and gazing the sky thinking and thinking... Life goes on and many of life's moments come back with the vicious circle.

So.. i was also in my deepest of thoughts and as this time i had many problems i didn't knew what the hell I'm going to do.. it started raining.. suddenly a cool breeze started blowing.. And all this took me away from what i was thinking and this distraction worked for me and for few minutes (lot more than that) i forgot my problems and it seemed i also went away with the breeze and that slow rain.. with that sound of drops falling on leaves.. it made me forget all my anxieties and worries.. I felt as it was God who was telling me to remain calm and cool like this rain and wind.. and as after rain stops it looks so clean and fresh and all the dirt is washed away.. you will also feel relieved.


Most of the problems are in our mind and we create burden on ourselves due to various commitments, ambitions and other problems and if we remain cool and calm and don't sink in the well of worries God itself will show us the way as what to do.. And if the situation is not under our control (as in case with me) whatever happens will be good for us.. we may end up on loosing side but it doesn't end there.. Again that cool breeze will blow and rain will come which will erase all your tensions.

After that night.. what was going to happen it happened.. but it taught me a lesson how to shed my worries.. So now that what you call a 'GOOD NIGHT' So, if you have anything that is worries you.. its better not to keep that jammed in your mind.. face it don't burden your mind, everything will be blown off.. God is there.. and will always be there.. Good times and Bad times come and go.. Enjoy Life!! So people.. Sleep well, sweet dreams and "GOOD NIGHT".

Why can`t I pee properly?


Why can`t I pee properly?

Man they say was never made for toilets, or is it that toilets were never made for man? Anyways, here I am not pointing a finger at all the saints who for close to 2-3 minutes give up theirWorldly belongings, which more often than not is just some pride and a little bit of shame,and piss on the road side.

I am talking about the guys at home. The innocent one, who cannot even peacefully pee at hishouse - thanks to all those women who have branded him as a good-for-nothing when it comesto toilets
Toilets? Yeah, I know there are two types, the Indian & the Western styles. And in this piece wewill be briefly touching (not exactly touching) all the types. Sometimes, I wonder if there is aEastern style of toilets. Perhaps the Japanese have them...but I would never know...

The guys I am talking about are the ones that have atleast two credit cards in their walletand owe the banks atleast fifty thousand. These are the people who actually work hard(afterall they got to pay back all the bills) and play hard.


Now, the allegation against this breed is that they don`t have toilet manners. I would totally agree, if they said that to me, but haven't you heard Sandra Bullock telling John Travolta in Look who is Talking that he lacks toilet manners or Sean Connery beingchided by Catherine Zeta Jones in Entrapment. And this angers me.

But then, with such high-quality men found wanting in toilet manners, I assume, evenGeorge Bush, the most powerful man of the World also leaves his toilet seat up. I say `man` coz if I said `person` where would Mrs Bush fit in?


If there were a reserach on the contribution of a Man in the soiling of a potty, mine would bea classic case. When I was a kid, my mom censured me for not `shooting` right. She said, the pool of waterinside the potty was supposed to be my target. But I never was a great aimsman.And it showed miserably. But if you had asked me then, I would have bet my fat ass thateven u would not have got it right.

When I was six, I was a little tall and shooting from the hips came easy. Now, my mother hadanother set of complaints. She said, I was not flushing. She was right, I was forgetting to flushtill I was about twelve years old.

So much so, the room freshners (Odonil is the one we used) were rendered useless. And my sister, who is well ahead of their times, suggested we use meat-scented air freshners, for they thought only they could make a difference. Now, I hear that such air freshnersare on sale.

In a few years, I was in college and worldly wise too. Now, I knew to flush the potty, and was pretty good too. You should see the flamboyance with which I turn the knob. But life has its own ways of balancing. And just when, I was getting even with my mother,my sister started her bit of complains. They said, I was leaving the toilet seat up. I tried to reason out with them, telling them that even vivek oberoi does it. It didnot work.

And I saw little reason in fighting it out alone for the whole man-kind. I mean, if the men werenot interested in removing the blotch, why should I be concerned. But that does not mean,I put the seat down, I still leave it up.

In fact, sometimes, when I have to avenge something, I don`t aim straight, I dont flush and thenleave the seat up! Kinda cute, nahin?

Traffic JAMS what to do????????


Now this is routine for me now. I am talking about the traffic jams that i bravely encounter and go through successfully(some times not) each and every day twice. This has become a part of my daily schedule and now i happily waste about two to three hours in these jams

In the morning when i step out of my house and proceeds towards my car, i start preparing myself mentally for the traffic jam that i would be stuck in after a few minutes. I always expect a traffic jam and it is always there, and fortunately or unfortunately(i do'nt know) when its not there.. I REALLY MISS IT. Yes, in the last two years, i am addicted to traffic jams and i just can not live without them its like a part of my life now.

love the jams on the signals, where you can not see the traffic lights from where you are stuck. You do'nt know when and how much traffic will move and your car moves with the snail's pace.Then i remember the saying 'slow and steady wins the race', and i try to be calm and think slow and steady i can cross this jam.Well, There are many advantages of traffic jams for different people at different places, like:

1. If you are with your date(girlfriend/boyfriend), you should consider yourself really lucky if you get stuck in a jam. You get a chance to hold hands for more and you can continue your mushy talks as you have lots of time to spend. You can do false promises and and talk about your imaginative college experiences and laugh a bit. Do'nt get naughty because you are surrounded with lots of people around

2. If you are in the car next to the person who is with his date and you are a typical delhi teenager or 20 something.. then you know what i am talking about. Specially when you are with your friends.. you have a total time pass. You can give stary looks towards the girl and you can notice the angry or rather helpless emotions on boy's face if he sees you admiring his girl. REMEMBER all this is happening in a middle of a traffic jam and it does happen. Now this is what i call entertainement for some for the cost of petrol and time.


3. If you are a student and stuck in a jam, and you are going or coming back from your college or whatever, you should read your books woithout wasting time and make for the time you always waste at home by watching t.v. or writing blogs. So, traffic jams helps you in studies also. ( I really really do'nt know wether any one would do this, if any one does it.. good).


4. Being stuck in the jams can annoy you and you can be terribly frustated. Do'nt waste this precious time and pick up your cell and call the person from which you are really pissed off now a days and start abusing him by picking up any recent matter. I have done this and believe me it really works. At the end you are a bit satisfied and you have the energy to pass the next 17 minutes in jam peacefully( i do'nt know why 17).


5. Some times we are in a long long traffic jam, and we come out of our car to see how long it is. Then you can feel a little happy and afford a plastic smile by seeing all those who are behind you and will take more time to cross the jam, and at the same time feel very very depressed by seeing all those are ahead of you and will get through before you. So, you get a lesson of life... Joy and sorrow at the same time, this is life.

6. Again i am using that word, sometimes in the traffic jam you see that a car hits another car and an argument breaks up between the two car owners. These arguments are mostly very entertaining and you will not get bore while witnessing these kind of fights and if you are lucky you might get a chance to see the real action sequence taking place. Again traffic jams prooves to be entertaining.

7. And if you people are like me and my few friends (so called), then you can knock on the window of the car next to you, the person sitting pritty in that car with a.c. on will scroll down the window pain.. then ask him about any unusual address.. he will politely say that he can't help you.. then you can start laughing in front of him. Now this what i call is the limit of stupidity. (i really do'nt know again what i wanna write in the pt. no. 7).


8. If you have a driver you and working a.c. in the car.. then take my advice, just sleep, there is no better thing to do in a middle of traffic jam.

9. Now for the wiered or bizzrre people like me and my friends(so called)... i do'nt want to offend any one through this but.. there must be a 'sardarji' somewhere around.. just peep out of the window and and shout 'sardaaar' or 'jooodi' and sit back with a innocent face without laughing, so that he ca'nt make out whose done that. After a while there will be a shower of laughter in the car as sardear is still amazed. I really do'nt want to offend any one, its just my experiences.. sorry.


10. You will definately encounter a beggar.. so its upto you to help him/her or not.. i never did. If you are generous then give some money.. or not then do'nt. Just ignore and listen to the traffic jams updates on f.m. station and feel relieved by thinking that you are not the only one to be in a traffic jam... you have many of your friends in different parts of the city facing the same music.

These were the few ways by which you can pass your time in a traffic jam... believe me you will not get to know when your out of it. As we all say something to the person sitting next to us after crossing a jam.. as how long and bad it was.. how much late you are now.. or anything.. After reading my blog similalrly as long as a traffic jam ( i do'nt know interesting or not) but you if have read, please if you can drop some comments... specially on those 10 pts. Then i will not bore you again with another boring blog.

Till then.. try to do what i said in those ten points and ENJOY TRAFFIC JAMS!!
