Ek ladki anjani si .............


These were the lines I had in mind when I first saw my sukh dukh ki sathi (in blue) during my stay in Mumbai .When I first met her, I didnt have even slightest of the idea that this girl would make my stay in Mumbai so memorable. Infact, I just noticed her hands and legs, they were really beautiful and I told her that any guy would fall flat, just seeing them :P


Those 5 months of stay with her in P.G and later a year's stay in our own rented flat.... each day used to be so eventful. We were ek aur ek gyarah in masti .... She is my Guru Mata in making me learn cooking... Every other day while cutting vegetables , I used to hurt myself and my dear mataji, used to put band aids like a mum . N how can i forget......the special tea we used to make...dead strong, I must mention... we used to keep boiling it till the aroma used to reach us in our living room ... Infact my mum named it Truck drivers ki chai ...lol But,Thanks to her, my future in terms of cooking is secured today!!!!!!


We have done almost every weird thing possible from dancing together on a lot of south indian numbers midnite to youtube surfing for interesting stuff to typical chindi road side shopping to eating out at odd hrs to more serious stuff as pushing her for her GRE and she pushing me for my job interviews....!!!

I can write a lot about our deeds and disasters, scams and scandals, but in a nutshell..........


Living life to the fullest and having carefree attitute towards life ... is her mantra and she tried her level best to inculcate in me too :)


She has left Mumbai now, its been more than 5 months and I miss her and that time terribly :(

Million dollar quesion: Egg came first or Chicken !!!!

The 1 million-dollar question " Egg  came first or the chicken?" resurrected some days back in my head. 

Chicken or egg? Each attempt at an answer just leads to another question. If the chicken came first, then didn't it hatch from an egg? And if the egg came first, wasn't it laid by a chicken? It's one of those questions that seem unanswerable.
Scientists agree on where chickens came from: In a sense, human beings invented them, just like they invented cows and pigs and other domesticated animals on Old MacDonald's Farm.

If chickens were interested in tracing their family trees, they would need to bone up on some DNA research. Every chicken that ever lived can trace its ancestors, say researchers, to a particular subspecies of Red Jungle Fowl in Thailand.

Scientists think the first domestic chickens were bred from Red Jungle Fowls more than 8,000 years ago in the region now divided into Thailand and Vietnam. People bred chickens first for cockfighting contests, later for eggs and meat.

So the first official "chicken" pecked its way out of an egg laid by a bird that was not-quite-a-chicken. Depending on how you look at it, the egg--or the wild chicken--came first.

In creating the domestic chicken--and coming up with some 175 varieties--human beings also created a world where chickens rule the breed: There are more chickens than any other kind of domesticated bird on Earth.

And where did birds come from? Scientists think that a group of egg-laying feathered dinosaurs were probably the ancestors of today's birds. So if it weren't for dinosaurs, there wouldn't be any Jungle Fowl OR chickens.

So looks like  the riddle of where chickens came from, is solved. But wait, there's still the question of where eggs came from.

Scientists say eggs--handy miniature incubators of life, nutrients already packed inside--evolved more than 1 billion years ago, in the oceans of Earth when land animals evolved and their eggs had a tough covering to retain moisture on dry land. 

So may be  "the egg" came first on the earth

 The Crux is : 
The chicken came after the bird, the bird came after the dinosaur, the dinosaur came after the egg. And the egg came long after the first single-celled bacteria, the prokaryotes, evolved in the oceans, some  billion years ago.

Hip Hop Version of Ramayana



A young second generation Indian kid in US was asked by his mother to explain the significance of DIWALI to his younger brother.
This is how he went about it ...................


"  So, like this dude had,like, a big cool kingdom and people liked him. But, like, his step-mom, or something, was kind of a bitch, and she forced her husband to, like, send this cool-dude, he was Ram, to some national forest or something.....

Since he was going, for like, something like more than 10 years or so... He decided to get his wife and bro along...you know...so that they could all chill out together. But DUDE, the forest was reeeeeal scary shit...    really man... they had monkeys and devils and shit like that.

But this dude, Ram, kicked ass with darts and bows and arrows...so it was fine. But then, some bad gangsta boys, some jerk called Ravan, picks up his babe (Sita) and lures her away to his hood. And boy, was our man, and also his bro, Laxman, pissed... And you DON't piss this son-of-a-gun cuz, he just kicks ass. And like..., all the gods were with him..

So anyways, you don'y mess with gods. So, Ram, and his bro get an army of monkeys..Dude, don't ask me how they trained the damn monkeys..just go along with me, ok... So, Ram, Lax and their monkeys whip this gangsta's ass in his own hood. anyways, by this time, their time's up in the forest..and anyways...it gets kinda boring, you know... no TV or malls or shit like that. 
So, they decided to hitch a ride back home... and when the people realize that our dude, his bro and the wife are back home...they thought,well, You know, at least they deserve something nice... and they didn't have any Bars or clubs in those days... so they could not take them out for a drink,so they, like decided to smoke and shit... and since they also had some lamps, they lit the lamps also.. so it was pretty coooool.. you know with all those fireworks.. Really, they even has some local band play along with the fireworks .. and you know, what, dude, that was the very first, no kidding..,that was the very first music-synchronized fireworks..you know, like the 4th of July stuff, but just,more cooler and stuff, you know.

And, so dude, THAT was how,like, this festival started. Cool! DIWALI rocks, Maaann...!!!!

Egg has life.... has no life... has life @#$%^ Confused !!!!!!!!!!!

One question that has always been in controversy is  if an egg has life or no life


Here is your answer ...... 


First thing first, we all know that hen's baby come out through egg... that means it has external fertilization. So we all agree that in order for the chick to develop, there has to be a lot of protein in the egg.

Now for the facts,  hen lays down egg all through her life  and is haploid gamete (sorry, don't want to technical, just assume its a single cell). And till the time hen does not mate with male rooster and till the time male gamete (sperm) does not enter the egg and fuse with the female gamete and become diploid (take its as 1+ 1 =2), an egg is nothing but a protein reserve.

Crux of the story : Fertilized egg >>Diploid>> Life>> would hatch in 14-15 days if incubated >>Expensive  
                          Unfertilized egg >> Haploid>> Life less>>would never hatch under any condition>> Cheap


So now you know it all....
Shoot questions if you have any.

WHY MEN ARE FROM MARS?????????

Are men really Aliens ?


When we meet guys, we find them quite normal.  But then as time goes by we realize that maybe they arent speaking the same language or you start to feel like a pyshic and  try to figure them out?

Murphy's laws In our life ........



I believe that our lives are affected totally by these dreaded murphy's  laws.....

To begin with,


If any thing can go wrong, will go wrong  :)


Every day I get up in the morning, thinking everything would be, if not perfect, somewhat closer to it. 


I remember few days back, I was going back to my native place Delhi for Holi. When I got up from my sleep, it was a very pleasant Wednesday morning. But Murphy had  planned my day to be action packed and full of blunders.  I began my morning with no water in the washroom. I managed somehow. Started to make tea, but milk conspired and went out of leaps, when I boiled it.  So , had black tea. With all the luggage and a ticket for 5.00 pm train to Delhi, I left for office early at 11.00 am in Mumbai Autorickshaws. Basking in the sun, proud  that I  planned my day so effectively,  I paid autorick guy the fare and moved on.  I felt something was missing.....................GOD, I left my mobile phone in the autorick. Now, thats the beginning of of things going wrong one by one. Obviously, I hoped autorick guy would be genuine and he would come back and return my phone.. but it never happened.  So, I lost phone, lost all numbers and could not remember even my home's number. Entered office physically, with cmy soul left in the autorick with my life gone in it. I kept my  cool to avoid any other mishaps and reached railway station at 3.00 pm and now thats well in time for 5.00 pm train to catch.


But Murphy baba cannot sit idle, at 4.50pm suddenly an announcement made my heart skip a beat. End time, platform changed for train arrival and I started running with 25kgs luggage in hand .  That train is known to come on platform 4 always but , this time out of fun ,it came on 6 and I was on the verge of missing my train.  Murphy baba was kind enough at he let me catch the train. 


So finally that Wednesday ended with losing phone and almost missing train. But the dreaded Wednesday was not yet over. When I came back from Delhi, in the office, I got to know I left my drawer open which is strictly forbidden.  Remember, I was only physically present in the office. This could had gone unnoticed by murphy baba didnt let it happen. I got into a lot of trouble because of this and my belief on murphy's law has strengthen , like never before.


Guys, What do you think?????????????  Have you ever felt any such thing in life or I am wondering,   I am murphy baba's favourite.
