"Moon"- No- "It's Main Aur Tum"

Moon is the greatest fantasy for a chivalrous man. We witnessed the brightest and biggest full moon of 2010 yesterday. I was unaware of it until we were ambling after our dinner. One of my friend pointed out - See, 'Chanda Mama' is so bright !!! It was really breathtaking. I forgot everything but not to abuse my friend. I told him - "Grow up dude.Can't you see - It's spotless.It can't be mama :) It is called- Chaudvi Ka Chand". He looked convinced and didn't argue.Everyone started praising their girl-friends.I had to keep mum.Someone asked me - Rahul,you said nothing. I replied - "I will write" :)
In my childhood, everytime I looked at moon,I could see only an old woman sitting under the tree. Later on,when my hindi teacher did 'manvikaran of chand'(personification of moon),I gagged. I was such a nut that time :) Today, when I look at the moon,I find a girl whose face is hidden behind a transparent curtain.I wonder - If life is so bright at the wrong side,what if I manage to cross the barrier - The curtain !!! I can see the long queue of her fans. But I believe - No one else can tell her - how much beautiful she is. She needs a mirror, not a fan :) The crowd complained - "Why doesn't she tell anything, why doesn't she laugh?" But I believe - She has an unending story. She has loads of joke to share. She requires a patient listener, not a grumbler. From the crowd, voice came - "No one has seen her.See,the blot is quite evident".But trust me - Although,I haven't seen her,I am sure-It's not a blot,It's just a pimple which gets disappeared on every full moon.She deserves a lover, not a critic :) Suddenly, a question popped up - "What you will do If given a chance to meet her?" When my turn came, I replied - "I will hold her hands and will ask - Where can I find you on New Moon?" ...

why not CAT ???

I remember the day when I approached my senior to counsel me on higher studies.It was my first semester.He told me-"Fresher ho,you must have worked hard-ab thora enjoy karo".I am not charging him for my didn't-take-CAT fiasco.The theme was deep down the psyche.His words just licensed it.I was over the moon.Life became full of greenerys.Fortunately- I didn't do anything absurd,didn't touch anything vile and most importantly - didn't utter a single word that hurt any particular fellow. It was only a break from studies.All I read was a mere-'newspaper' :)The pursuit-of-happiness took the place of pursuit-of-excellence.My friends were obtaining more CGPA than me and I was unaware of my rank until was asked to fill in a form while applying for a job!!!! Luckily I worked out a program that took my friends' cgpa from a file as input and calculated my rank in the class.To my dismay - I narrowly escaped the second half !!! By that time,the results of CAT of our just seniors were out. They had made it to IIM-A as well.I don't know how but the aspiration resurfaced.I was thinking for CAT 2010 when it was 6-7 months away.If fortune favors the brave, I am an obstinate coward.US economy was worst hit by the recession and NASSCOM directives forced our recruiters to delay their campus visit.Our placement procedure was put on hold and it prompted us to work hard in our engineering curriculum.When there was so much competition amongst our batchmates,I could barely think about CAT.I got placed on 17th of December.The bad phase was over but destruction remained. In the absense of proper preparation,I decided to quit the test.Today, all I can say is -"Your prospect to crack CAT is higher with work-ex" :)

genial GENELIA ...........

Harsh suggested me to watch the movie - "Bommarillu".I asked - Action movie? He replied - No,Romantic one.Again I queried - English movie? He laughed and responded in negative.I guessed - there must be something special if he is recommending a non-action movie and that too in a language other than English !!! I have been staying with him for the last 15 yrs - so the risk factor was quite impertinent.Anyhow,I downloaded and watched it- to be frank- goggle-eyed.Subject-matter and Siddharth were storming but I am here to tell you about someone who stunned me by her innocence,prettiness and above all- Simplicity.Say it absense of a gf or never-seen-previous character, I felt the void around me for the first time in my life.Her peculiar voice which appeared coming out of her nose had done the damage :) I googled about her. I searced her on Wikipedia. I talked about her with my friends and I sang with her in my dreams :) Yes- Genelia D'Souza factor is thriving ever since I watched her award-winning performance.Later on, I watched Boys,Jaane-Tu-ya-Jaane-Na,Life-Partner and most recently- Chance-Pe-Dance.I am not aware of box-office collection of these movies but I leave no opportunity to promote her movies inside my college campus :) My friends search Deepika,Katrina,Kareena and other actress in their respective gfs but frankly speaking - I started searching my gf in Genelia :) Few days back,one of my friend ridiculed me - Rahul, what will you ask for if Genelia tells you to do so. I quipped - "Genelia, now when I am almost hopeless about having a gf, do me a favor - Play a character of married woman" :)
