FLIP FLOPS- To be or Not to be

Have you ever seen a pair of FLIP-FLOPS( even the electronic chips one) . Have you ever been hit by the proverbial "Kya Karein Kya na Karein" Syndrome. Its one of the worst situations to be in. As a kid we think shall I eat a chocolate or an icecream. When we are at the stage of adolescence we think shall I sit in the class with that cute girl in pink (;))or my cricket pal. When you grow further you think shall I propose that girl or wait to become a better friend and then do something. As we grow up the problems become more and more complex. Wise men say that its good to have options. Then why is it so damn difficult to excercise them. Once we become more informed why do we start seeing complexities and of the shades of grey in our surroundings.
2 AM I am all set to go to south of france on exchange with few close friends. 7 AM after the call from home the "Kya Karein Kya na Karein" Syndrome hits me. Shall I go shall I ditch. What are the Pros and Cons. Lets weigh them once more. But unfortunately this is not a Numerical problem that could be solved so easily. I need more information. I frantically call few good friends whom i considered would be experts in the field. And suddenly I Flip-Flopped. 6 hours, 3 phonecalls and you get a Flip-Flop. The problem does'nt ends there, when your decision is affecting other's decisions as well. (Un)Fortunately my two good friends are even a greater Flip-Floppers. 1 hour, few more phonecalls and bingo! everyone of us have Flip-Flopped. What would you call this- "Dynamism", naah this is what the "Kya Karein Kya na Karein" Syndrome is. And come to think of it we are the budding managers. God help this planet. But now decided we stand, no more Flip Flops.

The Time Gone By and To Come

I once started writing blogs by dedicating it to 4 of my best friends at College though it was a time to look back. I once again write this dedicated to 4 of my best friends yet again at a college and this time for a time to look forward to.

Two years have passed since I passed out my beloved grad school and I had forgotten the idea of having fun. Thanks to 4 of you I feel young by at least two years. Two years before I never thought I would be able to form a close knit friend circle again that I talked about in my very first blog. But thanks to this place that brought us together and once again I am able to relive my memories (memories are always good and sugery).
The last few days have been the most lively ones in some really long time. Each day has been better than the past one. Calcutta seemed like an alien place to start with but now it has become acceptable. Not that the city has improved its just the chemistry between the friends that has sugercoated the discomforts.
I hope with times to come we'll let this grow.(Aur kisi ki nazar na lagey :D)
Animesh ek Sher ho jaaye isi per :-)

The Road Trip- Part 2

The Journey- Part 2 (About K and B)
Let me introduce two more characters of the story whom i will be using a lot,Lets say MissX & Miss Y.
So we hit the road once again and soon we are off the expressway into the bong hinterland where the only thing that seems to work is the sign language. Meanwhile inside the car a fight has broken between two of the oldest friends K and Bansiman over X and Y. And as rightly pointed by some saint in medival period "Ladkiyan saari fasaad ki Jad hotin hain"(To the fairer sex this is not my line :D). Now the scene here is a bit peculiar because you would think wats the problem, two handsome(?) blokes and two Pretty(?) ladies everything seems to be settled. But the problem is X likes K, but K likes Y but Y likes B and B likes another K. Phew!! if Raj Sippy was here he would have made lot of dough on this story. Anyways the fight continues both of them exchange blows(verbal) and the result inconclusive and it seems that both of them like both of them. With this fire raging AJ goes on to snooz mode. Seems she didn't like the fact that K and Bansiman are hogging all the limelight. So we sing her our favourite song once more. By now you know which one. She wakes up and starts hurling back the seemingly benign but deathly remarks. K and Bansiman dig deep into the history and bring out some more dirt on the table. When ever there is an opportunity K gets down the car and flashes his coooool bright Red pajama usually wore by Miss D.
This way fighting, singing, swearing, dozing we reach our destination, DIG-DIGGA.
The Movie Making

In the Midst of this carnage the creative K conceptualizes a movie "Su-Lax-Mi-A MAGICal tale of 4 cities". The movie travels from Jaipur to Kolkata to Dehradun to Thailand(for magical moments). Director post is assigned to Kavivar for his obvious tail-ent, lead actor is Bansiman, lead actress is AJ, urs truly has also a little insignifiacnt part of carrying roses from the lead actor and actress to their respective Beaus. And All the MAGICAL moments are provided by K so that people are bound to say "Ab Kya hoga". So there are 4 puppets in the hand of an able puppeteer Kavivar. Lets hope he makes a good movie.
