Some Famous lines ever said...

!!!!Yaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!

Guys.... I am back again, after a hibernation of almost 20 months. Not even sure if my fellow bloggers are updating their blogs. We are more into updating our statuses on Facebook these days. When I first logged in today, I was surprised that I remembered my password to login. With Gmail, Yahoo, MSN, Rediffmail, Facebook, Linkedin, eBay, Amazon, Office Email Password, VPN Password, Bank Account Login, Credit Card Login, ATM Card Password, Access Card Password, Mobile Voice mail Password, International Dialing Password... Passwords and Passwords... How am I supposed to remember so many characters and special characters with numbers squeezed in between for different logins? :D

But my friends, I took all the efforts to hack into my own account to update and try and revive some old memories. There are so many of them but I want to pen down some of the greatest and funniest dialogs ever said and wish they hadn't been said in the first place. Though this is a no Top Five List - please rate the best among these 5 on the right hand side of the blog page after reading. :D

Now, sit back, recollect these lines and enjoy the funny moments :D a

1. "Koi Aaye na aaye... apun dono pakka Goa jayenge...." - Atul to me

Dec 2004 - the Goa trip was in planning stage. I wanted to go and enjoy Goa but none from the Animal Kingdom was willing to commit. This was when Atul jumped to my rescue mouthing the most famous line ever - "Denzi... koi aaye na aaye.. apun dono pakka Goa jayenge.." No.. nothing great about this line. Its just that after saying it, he was the first one to drop out of the plan :D Something our politicians do it so well. Well done Atul. This famous dialog will go in the annals of Animal Kingdom as the one the best lines ever said :D

To this day, when we are sure we cant make it, we use this line as a mocking tool. :D

2. "Paise ka mat soch..." - Gala to Atul

Early 2005 after Goa trip when we started searching jobs to support our engineering degrees. :D Atul known to reject job offers just looking at the bold numbers on the offer letter was chatting with Gala about a new job offer. Gala and Ali had got into a field job which involved more travelling than a UPS or Fedex guy all over India installing the RF Antennas (or whatever) :P This was when Atul told Gala that he was interested and would like to take this job. Then he made a blunder of asking Gala about the salary to which Gala retorted - "Abe.. Paise ka mat soch.." which shocked Atul to the core. :D When you are known to take job profiles for a great money package, you are not expected to get such replies. After that Atul never dared to ask further about that profile.. :D

3. "Tum log sab kidhar gum gaye the???" - Builder to everyone

Sept 2001 - The engineering college group had planned a visit to the Mount Mary Fest at Bandra Fair. With such a huge group, everyone split into smaller groups and started on their journey. But then our Builder was very eager to show some famous places in Bandra as he completed his junior college from that part of the city. And who better to show than apna Bawa?? Builder had this good bonding technique then.. put his left arm around his buddy and then take him away from the group unmindful of his surroundings. And poor Bawa, did not know Builder so good enough those days and fell into his trap.. oops.. i mean arms... left arm to be precise.. :D

Then the under-arm guy did not have to do anything. Builder took him away from the group and showed him all the "best" places to hangout in Bandra. Bawa tried his best to slowdown so that the group catches up with them. But who can stop our Builder?? :D And Bawa's worst nightmare came true. They both got lost from the crowd and those were the days of landline phones. :P So no mobile phone to the rescue. Having no choice and with in such a crowded place like Bandra Fair, they roamed on their own. Whether they had a good time or not - Bawa would be the right person to answer. So, Bawa please open up today..We want to know. :D

Take 2 - Next Day - College Cafeteria - Naveen delivers his most famous line ever - "Tum log sab kidhar gum gaye the??? in front of the crowd to which he got the most sensible/funny/sarcastic reply - "Abe ghumte 10 log nahi.... Do ghumte hain..." :D We wont ever forget this incident Naveen...Hats off for this one ;)

4. "Tu hamesha mere saath aisa hi karta tha Thakur" - Kandu to Thakur

Though its just a line - its shows the deep chemistry between Kandu and Thakur. :D Thakur known for his flamboyant style, sometimes did not devote time for Kandu and managed to wriggle out of his commitments made to Kandu by saying his famous and most widely used word - "Sorry yaar"... but how much can one take it?? When it reached the threshold of his patience, Kandu almost cried out to Thakur... "Tu hamesha mere saath aisa hi karta tha Thakur" - Now that Kandu is getting married... lets keep this matter hush hush till he completes his wedding vows :D

5. "Prod ET Bhai Bhai" - Pakya and Bawa to each other

May 2004 in some bar in Dombivli - We had officially completed our last ever exam of engineering (KTs not taken into account) ;) It felt so good after completing those torturous 4 years of engineering, countless assignments, long KT queues with a Rs. 420 DD in one hand, boring lectures, long tiring journeys to college, big fat engineering definitions and fundas to cramp in the exams. Ah!!! It was the day when we all felt... we all had been waiting for.. a feeling that one has been released from all the bonds and chains... But we were wrong... ;) Life outside engineering college is not so kind. No second chances like in engineering days...

With 10 beer bottles and a packet of cigarettes down, Pakya and Bawa discovered their love for each other. And who could stop them after that. All they did was - Get up together, plant a kiss on each others cheeks, give each other a tight hug while we held the chairs below them so that they could land perfectly. This line holds the record for being repeated multiple times in a span of 2 hours. We lost count the number of times they kissed and hugged each other saying the same slogan... "Prod ET Bhai Bhai"

Guys.. this is not the end... we have many more lines... which need to be published.. to remind ourselves of those greatest moments we spent together.. :) So keep watching... We are Back :)

Something More...

It had hardly been a month since Daniel had seen Lavina for the first time in the office Cafeteria. He had fallen for her cute smile and why not? She had the most beautiful smile that his eyes had ever witnessed. It was not that he had never seen a girl more beautiful than her ever. But she was special and nothing on earth could explain his feelings he closely guarded within the boundaries of his heart.

Both exchanged those curious gazes the first time their eyes met in the sparse crowd of the Cafeteria. Lavina's black kohled eyes seemed to question Daniel's dark eyes. His eyes had so much to ask yet nothing to answer. The time appeared to stand still and then both were rudely jolted back to reality by a guy in low waist washed out jeans and extra large T-Shirt hollering to his gang of 5 guys and 2 gals that it was getting late. He seemed to be in a hurry to rush home and had already stuffed his mouth with one chunk of Samosa and one more in other hand.

Damn!!! thought Daniel. "Had it not been for this guy, I would have atleast given her a smile." He glanced at his watch. It was 6:00 in the morning and the sun had already risen in Daniel's heart for Lavina. Daniel's eyes followed Lavina to the end of the alley where the alley ended into a pale clean whitewashed wall and he could see her no more.

There was something mesmerizing about Lavina that attracted Daniel towards her like a moth to a flame. A moth that flies into the heart of the flame unaware of the aftermath. By this time Daniel had been through a whirlwind of emotions and was all blank just like a volatile person led out of a hypnotism room.

He walked out of the cafeteria towards his bay. Was he dreaming??? There he saw Lavina standing outside his bay. Daniel's strength left him and went weak in the knees unable to carry his legs any further. Dragging himself and eyes inspecting the carpet floor, avoiding any further eye contact he reached the entrance to his bay. "Hi there!", he heard a faint voice.

Something...

I thought of penning down a simple story between a boy and a girl. However, my style of writing will be heavily influenced by Chetan Bhagat of "Five Point Someone" and "One night @ Call Center" fame. I am just trying to copy him. So, any resemblances and you know why. I am not sure of the number of parts this story would run into. Haven't thought of a name as yet.
Well, here it goes.....

"6:40 a.m", Daniel glanced in his Timex Brown Dial watch. "I have to reach the Interface Building before she leaves." Daniel's mind wandered when he had last time seen Lavina. He was smitten by her cute smile the very first time he had seen her. Though Daniel never believed in Love at first sight, he could never explain this feeling he had for her.

Daniel and Lavina worked for an international contact center. Daniel was in his first shift (7:00 - 15:00) today while Lavina's shift ended at 5:30. But she had to wait till 7:00 for her transport to drop her home. This was one of the best things of working for a contact center. You get the company transport for home pickup and home drop. Though Daniel worked in a contact center, he did not belong to the BPO. He was a part of the technical team.

It was the mid of monsoon and Daniel was greeted outside the railway station by the dirty brown muck thanks to the morning drizzle. The smell of hot Batata Wadas and Medu Wadas filled the air tempting the morning crowd to the roadside restaurants for a quick breakfast. Daniel was hungry but he couldn't afford to waste his time gorging the road side stuff. Quickly, he made his way from the railway station to the rickshaw stand. His office was located 10 minutes walk from the station. But, he did not feel like walking that day through the wet mucky road spoiling his expensive Lee Cooper leather shoes. Also, he was getting late.

"Interface Building", Daniel told to the rickshaw driver and hopped into the rickshaw. Barely had he managed to seat himself and 2 men got in. This was courtesy - Share an auto where 3 people shared the auto fare to travel the same distance. Already cramped into a small seat, Daniel was now sharing his space with 2 men.

2 minute ride later, Daniel found himself outside the Main Gate of the Interface Building. He took out the Identity Card from his Shirt Pocket and wore it around his neck. No one was allowed inside the Interface Main Gate without a valid Identity Card. The visitors too were given a special Visitor's Card which was to be worn all the time in the building premises.
"I wonder why this place requires so many men in Security Uniform strolling around? This place seems to be more heavily guarded than the Pentagon.” thought Daniel. Soon, he was at the reception. 2 more guards glanced at his Identity Card. "Strange", thought Daniel," They see me everyday and even then they scrutinize my Identity Card. Either they are very loyal to their duty or have a short memory."

Flashing his Access card in front of the Card Reader, Daniel made his way to the Recreation Area A. It was located perpendicular to the Main Exit. A water cooler, a coffee vending machine and a waste bin were the only permanent occupants of the Recreation Area. However, he witnessed a couple standing there today.

Daniel's Bay was located to the extreme right of this Recreation Area A just before the Cafeteria. As always, Daniel filled his paper glass with water from the cooler. While sipping the cool water Daniel’s head turned to catch a glimpse of the girl - a general male tendency. But, the sight made his heart sink. She was Lavina. Daniel's mind was injected with thoughts, "Who the hell is that guy??? What is he doing here??? Why is he discussing with Lavina??"

Angry and dejected, he crumpled the paper cup and threw it into the waste bin. With a heavy heart he once again glanced at Lavina. This time she saw him. "Hiiiiiiiii", she shouted out. Her words were like a whiff of fresh air. All his dejection vaporized into thin air. Daniel wanted to speak to wave back to her. But, a soft Hi was all he could whisper. He did not feel like invading their privacy.

Daniel was a simple guy. A simple Hi from Lavina made his day. With a song on his lips and a spring in his steps, Daniel advanced towards his Bay. He was on Cloud Nine.
