Radio Mirchi Delhi

This reminded me of the Radio Mirchi (FM Radio channel - Mirchi in Hindi means Chilli- the guys proclaim that their channel is as Hot as RED CHILLIS!!) where I heard someone say "Yeh meri christmas Teri Christmas too". For non-Hindi speaking people the pun is intended on the word Merry = "Meri" in hindi means Mine and so rhyming with Merry or "Meri" in Hindi is "Teri" meaning yours. SO it is everybody's christmas as far as enjoying is concerned.

This ULTA PULTA Nitin is good. Again for non-hindi speaking people 'Ulta' means Backwards as the name Nitin reads same backwards too. And the word 'ulta Pulta' is associated with mad people....

He interviewed an "EXPERT" On what Delhites should wear this winter. I wonder why they even BOTHER to call these so called experts. This lady, I did not get her name (so that much for her fame!!) said soooo shweetly, "Ohh this is a loveeeelly season.. sooo mannnyyy marriages and festivals are going on... women can wear some nice pullover on some nice skirt, they can even wear some nice long coat, that will go nicely on their bodies. They can also wear some nice trousers and wrap their necks in some nice muffler. [Then she probably rememebered that there are umpteen ladies who do not wear trousers or skirts] You can also wear some nice salwaar kameezs and some nice pullovers, That would be simply niceeeeeeeee"

It was so sick!! The lady did not talk of colours, She did not talk of designs. She did not talk of what body types should wear what. She did not say what occasions befitted what dress this winter since she started by saying there are marriages and new year and christmas and all. She did not talk of stripes, or dots or squares or flairs or different dresses even except for pullover, trousers, skirts and long coat and then threw in a salwaar kameez.. and DESIGNS? Ohhhhhhhhhh THEY SHOULD BE NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Why do Radio Mirchi even bother to call these 'EXPERTS' on their broadcasts!! I wonder.
And I do remember my english teacher telling us never to use the word 'Nice' either as it is poort english. Instead of nice one should rather use other descriptive words. So there is your dress expert with her sense of Hinglish!!
[The Hindi version of English].

Nitin are you listening!!

Thought of the Day- 23-12-2005

"...when we finally know we are dying, and all other sentient beings are dying with us, we start to have a burning, almost heartbreaking sense of the fragility and preciousness of each moment and each being, and from this can grow a deep, clear, limitless compassion for all beings." -- Sogyal Rinpoche --

I got busy with work so much that I have been going back home late and thereafter I did not have the energy to think, let alone post some messages here. Anyway here is a quote again.More to come.

MUMBAI DIARY

I am enjoying my trip to Mumbai. Office guest house has internet connections through LAN in each room. So if one wants to work one can as one can connect to LAN and if people like me want to spend some time beyond office that too is possible as one can connect to the web.!!

And here I am posting this message from my room!! I have got some pictures in the night !! Got to go back and maybe by Sunday I will be able to post them on my photoblog site
bye!

Am Touring

Well here I am at Mumbai for office work. Have got my camera with me so that I can shoot some photos. But really I feel shy carrying my camera all the time on my shoulders. It makes me feel odd. As neither can I pretend to be a Professional Photgrapher nor am I a tourist. Like that day when I shot those pictures in the market, a shookeeper asked me what I was doing. I told him the truth, that I was shooting for my hobby. But then he probably wanted to hear that I was from Times or some newspaper!! But it is all in the mind though. Gradually I am geting into the habit now.

I am still thinking of more blogs that can be more interesting or rather more important to the world instead of just ranting on with my personal thoughts, which should be purely personal!! Let's see how my my plans go.. to little time though. Will manage.

New Post on my other blogs

I have posted new thoughts on the blogs

1. India through my photoblog
2. The Rat Race.
3. Relationships.

good job done.. a pat on my back.. hehe.. :-))

Redesigning the site

I am still changing the looks of the blogs and adding to them at the same time. Anything that I do must be a sincere job whether at work or play. bye now

I WISH I HAD MORE TIME

I wish the day was more than 24 hours. I wish the nights never ended. I wish I did not sleep. I wish there was no New Year!! Whoa!! Before people come and beat me up for wishing something as good as a New Year away when they can drink up and enjoy, let me tell you these are my genuine wishes.

I do not wish Time to Stop as there is no fun in stills. But what I wish is that I had enough time and enough time and still enough left for me to do ALL THAT I WANT TO DO!!

Time is indeed scarce resource and every day I grow older.Every night I lay down to sleep I miss some more time waking when I could have done something!!.
