1'st situation: It was around winters of 2006. We were in the second year and almost all of our then final years were placed in decent companies. So the time was definitely for grand celebrations. The day was decided and the venue was our final year senior's hostel Emarald. And these parties usually meant lots and lots of alcohol to be consumed. My roommate Mr. M was particularly drunk that day and he was having and out of this world experience. He is kind of geek so all his aspirations were coming out in this state. He was insisting that he should grab some foreign internship in the summer vacations or else his life is a waste and he was taking advice from seniors for that. After few more plastic glasses of alcohol he was unable to stand up properly. So I was by his side. He wanted to go to the loo. I tried to hold him by his shoulder but pushed me aside and said I'm in full control and don't try to offer me help. I can be on my own. That was his confidence. 2'nd s...

The incident I'm going to narrate happened with one of my colleague. I'll write in his words. I don't know whether I appear dumbo from my face or from my activities I send strong vibrations of dumbness. I'm always in scenarios where in my near and dear ones as well as those who are distant relatives or even acquaintances will be asking me for some kind of favor from me, be it financial or in service. This is one similar account. It was a Saturday evening when i usually watch any movie in a theater nearby. I was on my normal schedule as on any other Saturday. When I was on the bus my father called me and I attended his call without realizing that I've grabbed someone else's attention also. When my call ended, the guy standing beside me came to me. He was dressed up like a dude having very modern attire, latest hair cut like a hippy. He introduced himself to me in my local language. He must have got the idea that I'm from his place from my conversation to my...

Problem Statement : I bought my bike Royal Enfield Classic 350 maroon colour, a reason for many to be envious, on 6'th June 2010. I was told by my salesman that I would be receiving my registration certificate in a month. I shifted my house in that period but I had good relation with the guard of that apartment and had told him, "if the RC smart card arrives via post, give me a call". I also had made frequent visits to that house and inquired about the RC smart card. After a month till the end of eleven months I had made many calls to the showroom as well as RT office for the RC book but all these calls were of no use. I also went to the showroom once but he said me to collect it from RT office. Each weekend I thought of going to the electronic city RTO which was some twenty plus kilometers from my house but because of my "matiyao" nature was not able to accomplish this task. Eleventh hour arrived when I had to renew my insurance. I made calls to the insurance o...

How many times has it happened to you that you are in some deep trouble or any kind of mental disturbance with no one around to share your feelings with and all of a sudden you get a call from your mom saying she has seen a very bad dream about you and asks your well being. Some time or the other everyone would have experienced this thing. Such is relationship between a child and his/her mom. Such is the purity and strength of this relationship that all other relationships appear to be fake or brittle when compared with it. In other relationships, the opposite person has to understand your state of mind through your behaviour or facial expresion or changing frequency and amplitude of your voice. But in this case you don't say a word, don't express yourself or even don't show your face to your mom but through some undiscovered means she knows the exact state of your mind. May be after birth even after cutting the physical umbilical cord some kind of invisible cord is left be...

As a child I was always told that the greatest happiness is there in giving and not accepting things. And to prove this thing a story was told about Akbar and Birbal in which Akbar was provoked to eat a stomach full meal and then was taken on a boat ride. When his bowel gets upset and he needs to answer the nature's call, the boat ride is intensionally delayed for a longer time. Finally when he reaches ground and is done with his job he feels very relived. And we were told that this type feeling can be achieved only by giving things away. Giving is one thing and giving away the thing you love is another. In the story also whatever Akbar gives away to the field was not meant for him. He was never in love with that thing. It was meant to be passed away. When you have to give things you love it hurts a lot. Ask a small child for the toy he has just got after a lot of pestering to his parents. He would die crying but won't let it go. Adults are no different. Ask a guy insanely in ...
