Be-CAR ki Dilemma !

Folks, I don't know whether this news falls under the category of a "good news" or a "bad news"... I couldn't decide. So I leave it up to you to decide...

The Tata Indigo (recently nicknamed : The Truck!) that I had is now not mine !! Yes, I've sold it off... Although I've been very possessive of my stuff. I've remained upset when I sold my beloved Nokia N72 cell phone (click here for more details regarding this), but this was a totally different ball game. I was happy that its sold. And I am, still. And there are some unmentionable reasons behind this happiness... Samajhdaar ko ishaara hi kaafi hai... :P

And I'm now be-CAR (for those who couldn't understand, wait till the end of the post !). And decision making is one of the toughest job on the planet, especially when all the choices are equally good. And the cars in contention are (in increasing order of prices) :

1. Maruti Suzuki Alto : just for the sake of having an option
2. Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 : almost zeroed in on this one, but then the Chevy exec gave me a test drive of the next two cars
3. Chevrolet Spark : although a bit old, still a great package!
4. Chevrolet Beat : wasn't an option earlier, but the test drive made it a tempting option

So far I'm considering these four options. Although some people also suggested me the following cars. But I rejected them for the reasons mentioned :

1. Hyundai Santro Xing : pretty old and stale, even the new model doesn't offer new features.
2. Maruti Suzuki Estilo : just don't like the model and the dabba-looks
3. Maruti Suzuki WagonR : another dabba-looking car

And now I'm in a dilemma so as to which car should I finalise !

Decisions... Decisions... Decisions... I'm not that good at it ! :(

Dear God, please intervene and make things easier for me ! May be you can use an aakashvaani to enlighten me... ;)

I'd like to mention one more thing, I have not considered any cars from Tata. And its only coz if I wanted another 'truck', I wouldn't have sold the one that I already had ! Again, samajhdaar ko ishaara hi kaafi hai ! :)

PS : For those who didn't understand the meaning of be-CAR, its being without car. Go learn some Hindi. And those who know Hindi, try and learn how to apply a li'l bit of your brains !

Is this love?

Listening to her voice so sweet,

Talking words to her so sweet,

My heart thumps, my heart beats.

And I ask myself, Is this love?

All the time I think of her,

All the time I imagine her.

My heart aches and aches for her.

And I ask myself, Is this love?

I feel she's everywhere in me,

I feel her warm breath in me.

Oh ! What's happening to me?

And I ask myself, Is this love?

When I am too much in trouble,

I want her to hold me.

My love for you is killing me,

But then I ask myself, Is this love?

TWO whole years !

Today, 7th October 2010 marks the second anniversary of this blog. Exactly two years ago, I started this blog just to catch up with the world. Blogging wasn't a rage at that time. But within no time it picked up.

When I started this blog, I had no idea of what I'm gonna put up on GFN ! I wasn't even sure on how long would I be able to sustain this blog. But it continued. With all your love, this little effort of mine has successfully completed two years despite some rough patches.

I think I should present a mini balance sheet for this year (and may be get happy at the progress)... So, here it is :

If it would've been a business, my investors would be very very happy by now !


I'm happy with the progress. Even if the number of posts decreased, the spread has increased. Thank you every one for the love !


And since you people haven't brought the gifts, no celebrations this time. :P

Cry cry itna cry karte kaayko hum?

This song from the movie "Jhootha Hi Sahi" seems apt for my situation. :P

Yeah... Some incidents lead to some other fucked up situations. But as people say, its a part and parcel of life and blah blah blah. But believe me, this song can calm you a bit... That's why I'm putting its lyrics over here !

Rote kaayko hum hey

Rote kaayko hum

Hona hai jo ho, sad hote kaayko hum

Cry cry itna cry karte hain kaayko

Itna darte hain kaayko

Pal pal marte kaayko

Why why aisa why waisa kyun hota

Yun hota toh kya hota

Jo hota hai woh hota

Fly fly baby fly dekhein odh ke

Dekhein baadal se jud ke

Dekhein phir na mud mud ke

Rote kaaye ko hum hain, rote kaayko hum

Hona hai jo ho, sad hote kaayko hum

Haan raaton ko na sote kaayko

Cry cry itna cry karte hain kaayko

Itna darte hain kaayko

Pal pal marte kaayko

Chaar pal ka hai, saanson ka kissa

Kitna hai hissa iss mein aansuon ka soch lo tum

Bachpan bhi tha ek, ik budha sa pal

Kis ne dekha kal, to is pal ki keemat jod lo tum

Rote kaaye ko hum hain, rote kaaye ko hum

Hona hai jo ho, sad hote kaayko hum

Haan raaton ko na sote kaayko

Baatein teri theek lagti hain

Raatein kyun hamari jagti hain

Haan laatein hum kyun na maarein beeti baaton ko

Bhoolun main toh mujh ko lagaana tum ik chaanta

Chubh jaaye toh kheench lena kaanta

No No Nooooooooooooo

Poonchu main jo tujhse kabhi ke kyun kyun daanta

Dena phir se ek aur chaanta

Kabhi nahi, kabhi nahi

Rote kaayko hum hain, rote kaayko hum

Hona hai jo ho, sad hote kaayko hum

Haan raaton ko na sote kaayko

Cry cry itna cry karte hain kaayko

Itna darte hain kaayko

Pal pal marte kaayko

Why why aisa why waisa kyun hota

Yun hota toh kya hota

Jo hota hai woh hota

Fly fly baby fly dekhein odh ke

Dekhein baadal se jud ke

Dekhein phir na mud mud ke

Cry cry, cry cry...

Crying is something that is our birth right. No one enters the world with a smile. Rote hue hi aate hain sab... And crying indicates that you are ALIVE !


PS: I know its a bit confusing post ! Still, enjoy the song... :P

Life ka Update !

Sorry readers for yet another post starting with an apology !


With so many things happening in my life, I had no time to write a blog post. And if I had time, I was in no mood to write one. Yes. It happens sometimes.


Even this one is just to let you people know that I am 'alive'. This was the sole motto of publishing this post.


Don't worry, I'll be back with a bang with something good. Just wait for a few days. Yes, everything will be there - CWG bashing, poems, feelings, etc etc etc !


Till then, keep showering your love.


And this one, being just a 'space filler' post, ends here.


Over and out !
