Estudiante De La Vida

Hi,

I'd like to begin with a thank you meant just for you for being a reader/follower of this blog. Its difficult to read, leave alone understanding the semantics of my words, which are more often than not coated with a highly acerbic/acromonious layer and what is perceived by many to be a condescending tone. Few have been able to understand the sarcasm and the humour that the words are loaded with. And these few deserve accolades for this is no mean feat.

Now coming to the reason for this post. As a part of the consolidation of my  blogs this blog is being merged with my master-blog: Estudiante De La Vida. While some of you have already added yourself to the blog, others were till now unaware of its existence. To these 'others': If you like the ramblings produced by this humdrum being, do join the site or subscribe to the feeds.

Ciao.

No Boss!

Sometime, earlier this week...

12:35 Hrs :: Subject x
Boss: "Its too complicated. I can't understand what you are doing. But, I'm convinced that whatever you are doing is right."

Moi: {Smiles}

15:48 Hrs :: Subject y

Moi: "I don't agree with what you are saying. But I'll take it as an order and do it if you want me to."

Boss: "Well, we don't have to agree on everything, right."

Moi: "Yeah, right."

Economics of Happiness!

If you are going through a low, the base value for happiness is decreasing(analogous to the concept of diminishing utility in Economics). And, therefore, even a little good happening to you is going to make you feel a lot happier. 

On the contrary if you are on a high, the base value for happiness increases and, therefore, you need something big to happen to be happy.

Isn't this a good enough reason for you to be happy that you are going through a low :)

Proof that God Exists

I've finally decided to give up my agnostic disposition and start believing in God. For, God, him/her/it self has proved his/her/it's existence to me.

Happy Valentine's Day: Perfect Planning

Went to the Deer Park today for an evening walk. Was surprised by the amount and nature of crowd there. There were couples as was to be expected on Valentine's Day. Then there were foreigners, lots of them. There was a band playing Calypso music. It was so different from what it is usually like, there was a certain festive feel in the air. 

Quite surprisingly this year Shiv Sainiks seem to have forgotten about Valentine's Day completely. All couples - young and old, married and unmarried, straight and gay should be thankful to SRK for this.

A pretty girl got married, incidentally, on the same day as my last birthday.

Yesterday she completed 3 happy and fulfilling months in the relationship.

They've also recently bought a car. Therefore, she wanted to gift her hubby a keyring.

An idiot!

She: "You are just like Rancho."

Me: "I'm more like Joy."

Saari umra hum mar mar ke ji liye,
ab to chain se jeene do zara!

Republic Day Special: Proud to be an Indian?

Bilqis (Jinhe Naaz Hai) by Rabbi Shergill.

Lyrics:

Mera Naam Bilqis Yakub Rasul
Mujhse Hui Bas Ek Hi Bhul
Ki Jab Dhundte The Vo Ram Ko
To Main Kharhi Thi Raah Mein
Pehle Ek Ne Puchha Na Mujhe Kuch Pata Tha
Duje Ko Bhi Mera Yehi Javab Tha
Itno Ne Puchha Ki Mera Abb Saval Hai Ki
Jinhe Naaz Hai Hind Par Vo Kahan The
Jinhe Naaz Hai Vo Kaha Hai

Mera Naam Shriman Satyendra Dubey
Jo Kehna Thha Vo Keh Chukey
Ab Parhey Hain Rah Mein
Dil Mein Liye Ik Goli

Bas Itna Kasur Ki Hamne Likha Thha
Vo Sach Jo Har Kisi Ki Zuban Thha
Par Sach Yahan Ho Jatey Hain Zahriley

Jinhe Naaz Hai Hind Par Vo Kahan The
Jinhe Naaz Hai Vo Kahan Hain

Mujhe Kehte Hain Anna Manjunath
Maine Dekhi Bhatakti Ek Laash
Zamir Ki Beech Sarhak Lakhimpur Kherhi

Adarsh Phasan Jahan Naaron Mein
Aur Chor Bharey Darbaron Mein
Vahan Maut Akhlaq Ki Hai Ik Khabar Baasi

Jinhe Naaz Hai Hind Par Vo Kahan Hain
Jinhe Naaz Hai Vo Kahan Hain

Mazha Nau Aahe Navleen Kumar
Unnees June Unnees Bar
Unnees Unnees Unnees Unnees
Unnees Baar

Unnees Unnees Unnees Unnees
Unnees Unnees Unnees Unnees
Unnees Unnees Unnees Unnees
Unnees Baar

Looto Dehaat Kholo Bazaar
Nallasopara Aur Virar
Chheeno Zameen Hamse Hamein
Bhejo Pataal

Jinhe Naaz Hai Hind Par Vo Kahan Hain
Jinhe Naaz Hai Vo Kahan Hain
