Yatra.com India, I never saw this TV Commercial.

I never saw this Yatra.com TV Commercial. Indian Aviation Industry is booming big-time, especially in the Low-Fare Carriers Category. There’s a huge competition between top Travel Portals like Yatra.com, MakeMyTrip and Cleartrip plus many other competitors.

What you see in reel life, never works in the real life!

A friend went for a movie yesterday. Movie was – “Turistas”. Movie was not great, but also not bad.

There’s a scene where one of the actor gets along with this Brazilian lady. So during the introduction, she says her name is “Aralayoo” And when that actor repeats her name, she kisses him, then again he repeats the name, she kisses him, and again and again.

He was sitting between two of his female friends. Next day all three of them were in a Rickshaw and he started repeating the same thing. The result was instead of kisses He got tight slaps, he repeated they repeated, he repeated they repeated.

HE HA

Urja, THE FUSION X’PERIENCE

Urja, THE FUSION X’PERIENCE
12th Jan. 2008
Venue : Dadoji Kondeo Stadium, Thane
Time : 6.30 P.M.

Performers:
Ustad Zakir Hussain – Tabla
Niladri Kumar – Sitar
Rakesh Chaurasia – Flute
Taufiq Qureshi – Percussion/ Drum

5 Eminent personalities Felicitated:
Darsheel Safary
Shankar Mahadevan
Sudha Murthy

This was the Second Concert I attended in my whole life.

Ustad Zakir Hussain, the Tabla Maestro was simply amazing, awesome ……………

Basically I would not like to hear anyone playing Sitar because that’s too boring for me. But this guy Niladri Kumar (Son of Sitar Maestro Pandit Kartick Kumar) was playing it like a Rock-Star. It was first time in my life that I saw a Sitar player playing it that fast. Rakesh Chaurasia (Nephew of Flute Maestro Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia) was playing the mystical Flute. I closed my eyes and felt as if I was standing near a river bank, and my friend felt the same way. Taufiq Qureshi (Youngest son of the legendary tabla maestro Ustad Allahrakha and brother of the World famous Tabla wizard Ustad Zakir Hussain) was Mind-Blowing.

The whole experience was “Out of the World” and specially when am overloaded with many things this whole year with no time for fun, this was relief.

The company also mattered a lot; believe me! Even boring films seem to be exciting when I am with this special person, so imagine the experience I had in those precious moments.

My Mom and Bro both were laughing at me when I told them that am going for a Classical Concert. The Trivia being – It was some 13/14 years ago. Me my parents and my bro were in thane shopping like anything. It was 11pm and that’s late. We were near Gadkari Rangayatan, and it started raining heavily. We were half an hour late for the show, so there were no rikshaws outsite. Our hands were occupied with bags. So to pass the time we decided to watch anything that’s playing in the Theater. That was Hridayanath Mangeshkar’s (brother of Lata Mangeshkar) Classical Concert (Vocal). From the starting onwards my parents kept telling me and my bro, that this will be fun. Later we all started looking at each other's face and within an hour we were out of that theater. Luckily we got a rikshaw. And after reaching home, again we started looking at each other's face. It was understood that each one was taking an oath that they will never attend a classical concert in their life, especially vocal.

Although my brother was laughing initially, but when I started telling him about my experience, he agreed to it. And that’s because he was returning home form work and he passed by the venue, he stopped his bike and was listening to jugalbandi between Ustad Zakir Hussain and Niladri Kumar.

Now I think I will attend a Rock Concert.

Some People have that Nasty Habit of…………

>------------------------------- Blog Navigation -------------------------------<

Eat It, but Can’t Touch It!

I was in a telephonic conversation with my friend – Sunisha.
The subject was food. Then she said something ………

She can’t touch raw chicken/fish etc. So when she’s cooking Non-Veg food, someone has to clean it for her. She will do the entire cooking thing without touching it. If it involves marinating etc, then someone else has to do it.

She’s OK with Cooked Non-Veg Food and Loves it.

Every Phobia can be explained, and her explanation was – She thinks those raw pieces may pop to life anytime.

I was searching the internet for this type of Phobia, people are talking about it but there’s nothing. Carnophobia – fear of meat is close but not the ONE.

The solution to any Phobia is to overcome it by experiencing it frequently. Like I used to hate creepy-crawlies, but now I can handle them. I was afraid of heights, but I always get myself into a situation where I curse myself and at the time find it exciting. My mother relieved me from the fear of darkness.

I would like to dedicate a song for Sunisha and that too for a special occasion - when she’s cooking Non-Veg food! He Ha He Ha
He Ha …………………

This is for you Sunisha :

Funny Moment

This thing happened with my friend, Yesterday.
A new train was introduced in the Western Railway fleet, a month ago.
My friend was traveling in this train for the first time yesterday.

Now this new train is imported from Germany, and is supposed to be little bit advanced. It’s more spacious and suspension is smooth. Speakers are attached in this train, every time the train is in between two stations; a message is announced like “Next Station XYZ” this is not new, as this system was also implemented in some of the older trains, but the speakers in this new train are very loud and clear.

There was a person talking on his Cell Phone and was in a heated conversation with the person on the other end. He repeated three times that he’s reaching Bandra Station in a minute. The third time he repeated the same thing! There was an announcement – “Next Station – Lower Parel”

What happens next? He just cuts that call and keeps his Cell Phone in his pocket.

Everyone surrounding him started laughing, including my friend.

The rest is history.

Writer: Matt Greenberg and Scott Alexander
Cast: John Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson, Tony Shalhoub ……………
Quotes:

Found a Love-Bird! Shall I set him Free or give it to a Pet-Shop!

It’s been 20 years I guess, when I use to have LoveBirds.
I had green, blue, and white. Nowadays I can see vivid colors in them.
One of my LoveBird even laid an egg, which vanished after 24 hrs without any trace.

My brother found this one sitting on his bike. A flock of crows were trying to kill him.
So he brought it Home. He was not in a good condition.

Now I am confused:
Shall I set him Free or give it to a Pet-Shop!

LoveBirds are not native to India, and they can’t survive here, especially without a Mate.
So if I let him free, Crows and other big birds will bless me!
If I give him to a Pet-Shop, at least he will stay alive!

Social Message: Birds are meant to fly freely. Don’t purchase/ catch/ captivate them!

Business Business

Basically I don’t Blog during office hrs. But…………

I and my department head were discussing about a different business model. We had worked on it earlier, but this time it was supposed to be a full-fledged thing. During the discussion an Idea flashed in my mind, that was related to that business model but was a little off-track, as in it will need new resources and skill sets.

My department head told me one thing:
“I don’t want to go behind each and every beautiful girl in the office.”

For my Safety Reasons:
Don’t take the literal meaning of this statement. It means there are many opportunities lying out there, but you can’t follow each one of them, considering the resources you have bla bla……............

But that was funny!!!
