Freedom

Had a wild day yesterday. It was a holiday for me and all of my friends were working. Woke up late and suddenly had this urge to do something new … Ideally would have liked to kill a few people (heheheh!).. Ya, so I’ve decided to watch a movie … any movie.. So hurriedly took a shower and went to the nearest theatre – Fame, Andheri, Mumbai.

I took the best seat – Gold class with reclining seats – they even give you pillows and blankets and also take orders for food ..

Since I had no one near me … it was a great feeling .. I laughed at the silliest jokes and jumped and jostled with laughter … Well I never knew how much people affect my decisions. I felt free. The strangers around me were my company … Well I feel I should be working in a theater ala Nuvo Cinema Paradiso …

The movie was insignificant .. Could have watched anything … For the record it was a hindi flick – Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.

And my body, mind, soul, and everything gives away

Psychedelia has been an attractive option for many … for me too .. its so different from a regular mundane life … but like many I just thought abt it … read abt it .. until 2003. 2003 unleashed the manacles that clouded my vision … I wanted to be on the otherside .. to break in … to break out … the doors of perception calling me to be cleansed … oflate I am experiencing something new .. sounds funny but somehow my Neurosomatic circuit has been responding defining its way into a new realism … sounds surreal … you know what … turn on tune in drop and we’ll talk … more to do on this ………

I wanna do Virgin!

There was a time when I said, “I am doing an MBA to learn how the corporates work .. but then .. I wanted to marry Sir Richard Branson’s daughter (if any) to take over Virgin” … I have always liked Virgin .. the way Sir Branson created the empire .. the ways they launch a product/service … it’s amazing … I have actually taken a baby-step towards it by joining Virgin Radio, India

Bollywood Calling

When u were a kid, didn’t u just think abt far away things … u knew that they were not possible but still u wd think abt them and spend endless afternoons … Well I am not a very big bollywood fan myself .. yet as a kid only respite other than books was movies for me .. partly conniving in this vice of mine was a neighbourhood VHS vendor who used to call me up to tell me if a new movie has arrived …

Nevertheless, something happened to me a few days back … I met this woman (28 -30 yrs) in office … she is the station head for Virgin Calcutta … We chatted and chatted … there was no one around to show her the office and introduce everyone to her .. so i became her knight in shinning armour … I showed her how to work in MS Project … all this while I thought I saw/knew her … and yesterday I gathered courage to ask her if she was a model … she smiled and she said “No dude, remember ‘kya ada kya jalwe tere paro … o paro’… that ‘Paro’ was me” ….

Boom… and I crashed … She was Anjali Jathar who had a small career of 7 films in Bollywood .. including Trimurti with Shahrukh Khan … She was that cute little girl about whom all the guys including yours truly talked abt and while I am writing this … she is sitting right in front of me and smiling … She got married … went to US .. did a course in Mass Comm and joined O&M .. will ask her out for dinner/lunch …
