Sentiyapa

“Saheb, we have to go Maharashtra and I have no money to fed my children, they are very hungry, please do some help Saheb, I am feeling very shameful to beg like this but I am helpless right now. ”

I heard above words when I was coming back from a near by restaurant (although there are many in Indirapuram area) with our packed dinner. For a while I thought is it the same kind of situation like Congiri or Emotional Atyachar which happened to me before? Yes it was, but, taking a lesson from that situation I enquired him more about how he came here and how he lost his money. He told me some reason for his condition which can be believed or not but my soul did not allow me to go with out helping him while I was carrying dinner of Rs 200.

Thinking/assuming that he might be  ek din ka misfortune king like I was in my dream I asked him to hop-on on my bike and took him to near by Parantha Khoka. I bought him five paranthas and dropped him at the place where he was before. My antar aatma asked me to cross check whether he is still conning or just having those paranthas with his family. I moved from there and stood at a place from where I can see him but he can not see me, he had those paranthas with family and moved from that place.

I don’t know if he went to some other place to con or if he was really looking for some food for his family but what I do know is that he had that food and spending some bucks on a hungry person do not cost you more. At that moment when he requested me to help him suddenly one of the shared photo on Facebook flashed in to my eyes which said “Hotel me waiter ko 20 rs tip dene me zor nahin padta par kisi bhooke ko 20 Rs dene me jaan nikal jaati he…. and something something…”.

May be I have helped him because I saw that photo; I believe some time a person in such kind of situation is not conning and really need helps but it is also true that “Gehu k saath Ghun to pista hi he.”
PS:Term Sentiyapa refers to a situation in which people do senti talks and make you senti to accomplish their motive or convince you to do that thing which they want you to do.

Reach Amritsar up to night, take rest, next day get up early and reach Golden Temple by 9 am so that you can avoid large queue. Golden Temple itself will take 1.5 hrs to 2 hrs if you do all things like bathing in the holy pond and taking langar.

Inside Men Rest Room

Note: By looking at the title of this post I hope you must have get the idea about which thing this post is.So, if you don’t want to continue please stop it right here, go read something good and if you do then please read on.

I am here after a long break.Since I got married my life get super busy with all stuffs (what kind of stuff? Well, explaining them requires a separate blog entry.So, not this time) which are related to marriage but it’s good I am here today.

Working in an office with strength of 1200 employees gives lot of things to observe (a aaannn…..not that one this time :) ) apart from doing Facebook, watching TV,reading online newspaper and last but not the least assigned office work.

One day my chair’s adjustability stopped working and that day I realized how much my chair was getting molested when a person of 80 Kg used to seat at it continuously for 6-8 hours in different positions. I saw that my chair’s foam took some time to regain its original shape;So from that day onwards I decided to being kind and spare my chair by developing a habit of drinking water very frequently. Drinking water frequently makes you urinate frequently and your trips to Rest room.

Going to Rest room frequently forced me to observe the sign board (HE,HIS, KING, MALE Symbol etc) and other things happening inside it. Sometimes the door itself welcomes me and let me in (like a shopkeeper does when his regular client comes ;) )…wondering how…it happens when a person pulls the door of washroom to come out of it. Well, on stepping inside I observed following things:-

1. All mirrors were busy with people standing in front of them. Some of them were washing their hands and some of them were restructuring their hair style. The reason behind using word “restructuring” is mentioned in point 5.

2. Some people just come to quickly wash their hands with out using soap, some barge in to check themselves in mirror, adjust their clothes, adjust their hairs by making their fingers as comb or use comb if they have it.

3. Some are inside the wooden cubicles,

3.1 Making loud bombardments and wait outside area to be silent i.e. wait when no one is outside so that they can come out with pride feeling light without hiding their face otherwise they come out quietly, with head down seeing no body, wash their hands and get out of rest room as if they have committed some crime.

3.2 Did it quietly, come out with pride and attitude as if they have won a war or delivered a project before deadline.

4. Some were seen fighting with paper towel or hand dryer.

5. Some people were seen restructuring their hair style, making spikes using water or a small sachet of hair oil to look dude. These are those who get plenty of time only for their looks. They comb their hairs again and again until it satisfy him.

6. The most busiest area is Urinals. You can see different styles or gestures here:-

6.1 Some people do it by putting both hands in their pockets as if they have instructed it to always aim to the right place :)

6.2 Some people do it by putting one hand at their waist and looking upwards in the air and feels as if they have reached to heaven.

6.3 Some people do it by looking left and right making others uncomfortable.

6.4 Some people do it in a very jolly mood by singing a song.

6.5 Some people do it by looking around and starts talking if they saw any known person next to him. I think this should not be allowed, no one should come between you and your pee.

6.6 Some people do it while talking on phone or laughing loudly making others think “Is anything wrong what we are doing here”.

6.7 Some have plenty of time to do it, they put their hand on the partition of two urinals, slightly bend towards it and look straight and release.

6.8 When all Urinals are occupied some people sacrifice their chance to get urinal if the boss comes in the queue while some dies to get that chance.

 

I believe there are such more things which remain inside the four walls of rest room. I Hope you have enjoyed it.

Flow Chart of Arrange Marriage Process

Since the day I got engaged I was planning to make a pictorial representation of this process in form of a flowchart which involves various steps which I took for my arrange marriage. After jotting down all the steps on a piece of paper finally below it is…

Next Gen

Its been a while since I wrote here but I was planning to write about this right from the moment when I came back from my Panipat trip during holidays on 15th August.

I went to my Mausi’s to meet all of them and spend time together, especially, my cousins who are 9 and 8 years old. When I reached there and enjoying my evening tea my 9 year old cousin asked me “Bhaiya, are you on Facebook?”. I was amazed by this question from a 9 year old girl and I intentionally said no to see her reaction. To this, the 8 year old cousin said “Bhaiya, I know you are lying, this is not possible”  I asked him “Why this is not possible?”, he said “you are a computer engineer and you work in a computer company so you must be on Facebook” with the agreement nod of his sister. Well, I didn’t asked her why she gave such logic but I refused her about the fact that I am on Facebook.

After some time, I was resting in guest room and  of course I was checking my mails and Facebook, both of them came and caught me on Facebook. They said “Dekha, humne kha tha na ki aap jhooth bol rahe ho. Bade log kehte hein jhooth nahin bolna chahiye aur aap jhooth bol rahe ho, aapko sharam nahin aati jhooth bolte hue..” I was clean bold on this and said “Aisa kuch nahi he….this Facebook is not good things for children like you… children should not use it”. The younger one said “Why Bhaiya, we have our friends on it, we can do lots of things”. Whoa!! these little ones have their friends too on Facebook.

Once they saw that I do have a Facebook account, she asked me to add her on Facebook, She typed her name in the search box and showed me her profile. I asked her

Me: Who is this girl in your profile pic?

She: Kya Bhaiya, you don’t know her? She is Hannah Montana!!

On a serious note,I was not aware who is Hannah Montana till the moment she told me.

Me: Nahin, I don’t know who is she?

She: Bhaiya, Hannah Montana comes on cartoon network and she is Miley cyrus who is also a singer in real life.

Me: Oh, now I got it who is she but why you have not put your original pic in your profile?

She: Bhaiya!! don’t you know that girls do not put their original pic on social networking websites?

OMG!! From where she is learning all these girly stuff which actually is correct.

Me: No, I don’t know, why so?

She: I don’t know, one of my friend in school told me

Me: Oh, that’s why you put Hannah Montana’s pic. But, from where you come to know that she is Miley cyrus? Did your school friend told you?

She: Yes, Hannah is my favorite and I searched about her on Google.

Now, there was no point in acting strange about Google in front of these two so…

Me: Google…hmm… so you know about using Google.

She: yes Bhaiya,we use google.com to search about our subject.

He (who was silent): I searched about an essay topic which my madam gave me as Homework using google. It is very useful.

I was quite amazed to see how much these two know about the things, both of them know how to operate a laptop and use Internet.Now, I realize why parents in US and Europe needs Parental control in almost every media related things.

Their Mom called them downstairs, after 5 minutes I saw that she accepted my FB friend request and after a minute, I got a gmail chat invitation (she must have got my gmail id from my FB profile page), I got a video chat incoming call from her after I approved her chat request. Both of them started giggling from downstairs and started mocking me with the photos of me and my fiancée which I uploaded in my FB account.

One of my other cousin who is 9 years old has started using the modern lingo on the FB like she used to write

so what as so wat,

for sure as fosho,

Happy Birthday as Hpy Buday

Ouch as aawwcchh.

I wonder whether she has changed/modified these spellings in her mind as well or it is just for the online purpose (I don’t think so).

I was thinking that how fast this generation is going by using all these facilities and how and where they would be after 20 years.

Shining India needs Parental Controls too.
