Ecstasy

Your very sight makes me go weak in the knees… there you are, shimmering in your luscious red.. your very sight is inviting me… the music is deafening. I am trying hard to resist you, but I know its an effort in vain. The distance between us is separated by millimeters now.

"Not here, not today.. why.. it was only last week!!", My mind reasons with me.

"Go on… one more time wont hurt"… My Heart wins… every single time…

Slowly, the millimeters vanish. Passion takes over. The world is watching.. but we are oblivious. We are one now.. the blend is perfect, I am unwilling to let you go… but I have to catch my breath.. I notice… your "flavour" is on my lips.. its lipsmacking…


Your tangy-salty taste craves me… wanting for more..

Oh! I love you…. Bloody Mary!!

2.You know i am not drunk...

3. Gaadi mai Chalaunga…

5. Tu bura mat manna bhai…

6. Mai teri Dil Se Izzat Karta hu…

7. Abe bol daal aaj usko, aar yaa paar....

8. Aaj saali Chad nahi rahi hai kya bat hai…

9. Tu Kya samajh raha hai mujhe chad gayi hai…

10. Ye mat samajh ki piye me bol raha hu…

Life as a 26 Year Old...

Being a 26 year guy in today's world is tough, what with the pressures of corporate lifestyles (where it is considered that you were working only if you stay in office till 9 pm everyday, even though you were just browsing through blogs and playing solitaire), the stress of commuting between work and home ( 2 hours one way...), and yeah.. the fact that you remain a singleton after all these 26 years... well, life aint easy!!

BUT.. wanna know whats even tougher? when you have friends who are either committed/engaged/married, and you end up hanging out with them all the time... you go to pubs, malls, movies... and you end up feeling like a big Kabab Mein Haddi!! Of course, your friends know your state but cant help but remark on and off " Rahul, ab tu bhi kuch karr!!" ... Gurrrrrr... and oh! to make you feel good, your committed friends would say " Rahul dude... tu jaanta nahi tu kitna lucky hai, bachelor life is THE life boss... "... oh yeah boss... why dont you try telling me that when you are kandoooling with your chick??? (dont ask me the meaning of that word guys.. )

You go out and hit the disc, and end up paying double than your committed "couple", stag charges you see... Saala chain se party bhi nahi kar sakte... as if being 26 AND single was not taxing already...

Life as a 26 year old is tough.. the emotions you go through are varied... you are supposed to play the tough boy role to the hilt... but you know that deep down inside you are an emotional wreck.. staying away from family for last 10 years of your life doesnt help either...

Aaahh... am i complaining too much? but i know the silver lining... that life as a 28 year old wont be this bad... :)

Smiling away... waiting for MY time...

Here and Now... The India Story

I have been really tied up lately (quite thankfully), the bank that i work in in going in for a new ad agency selection.. so the best of the best , namely Ogilvy & Mather, McCann Erickson, Dentsu, have presented their views on my bank and how to take it forward and the advertising strategy for it.

And so yours truly has had the pleasure of listening to likes of Prasoon Pandey( The man behind the Hutch-Vodafone Pug Ad and many more..) enlighten me which more marketing and brand related knowledge than i did in two years of MBA.
But why am i writing all this here?? because there was something common in all the 12 agencies that pitched in.. they all related by bank with the growing India story.. and the youth... and yes.. we live in fascinating times.. the time of the young and the 'restless' India.. an India which wants everything here and now.. an India which is buzzing with activities.. everyday is bringing up new opportunities and new achievements.. Tata taking up Corus is old news.. the new news is Bharti gobbling up MTN.. The IPL is the buzzword around the world... This is the time of the youth.. the salaries of young India are reaching never before levels... Makes me Proud.. who wants to go to U S of A?
oh.. and US of A reminds of Dubyaman.. who recently had the balls to blame India's "rising consumption pattern" as a reason for spiralling oil prices and hence the global recession. Yes Mr. Bush, for years we have let you have the best of everything, 'export' quality spices, fruits, condiments .. and have settled for the second or third best in everything.. Its time we turned the tables... and thats literally has had you shitting in your pants..

Its India Time dude... wait n watch!!

Happiness: Reposted

I Wrote this post one year back... somehow i thought i shoudl share this again... after all... its what we are searching for... Happiness...

An empty mind is devils workshop. . And when the mind is empty strange thoughts come into my mind. . And its during one of my empty mind days . . Travelling in an overcrowded local train. . That i thought of happiness. . Now you may ask. . What about it. . Now. . I am not a philosopher. . But i have a very vague idea of happiness. . And this basically starts from my own happiness . . Happiness is a state of mind. . Hence the age old hindi idiom called dil khush ho gaya. . Doesnt actually work. . Different people have different perceptions of what happiness is. . Its strange. . But i have seen people who have either lost everything they had in life. .and are yet as happy as anyone. . And the reason is simple. . They dont have any expectations. . So no expectations leads to happiness. . And then there is another breed. . People who expect so much from life. . They go on and achieve what they expect. . And that gives fulfilling happiness. . So. . Either you have nothing to loose. . Or you have everything aplenty.. But that does not always happen does it? So what is the happiness mantra.. Many people find happiness in the minutest of things. . I once had a fwd which said went something like this . . 4 friends. . One packet maggi . . One hostel room. . 4.30 am . . Is happiness . . Quite frankly. . I am astonished. . If happiness is so easy. . Why is everyone chasing it? . . Maybe therein lies the answer . . Probably if we dont chase happiness . . It will come to us. . What say? Rote rote. . Hansa seekho. . Haste haste. . Rona! So laugh. . Till you cry. . Adios!

Make That Move!

Last night I was watching this talk show on "NDTV Good Times" , and the topic was if its ok for women to make a first move.
If you ask me, I think its high time they started doing that! I am just writing down a guy's perspective here. Think about it.. in most cases this is what happens-
A guy, willing to express his intentions (and emotions) towards his lady love, spends sleepless nights and plans endlessly to make "the moment" a perfect one. He waits for the opportune time and place for it, and after accumulating all the ions of guts and courage inside him.. pops the question…
.. Now imagine the state if he gets rejected. not only is it a big blow to the poor fella's ego and self esteem.. his confidence takes a beating too.. and the first question he asks himself is "What's wrong with me!!! ". Ofcourse, I am not talking about the Romeo's who will happily shrug it off and move on to the next "target".

Obviously, in their defense the gals say that if a girl approaches a guy and asks him out .. she is immediately labeled as "fast" and "easy".

My big question is .. why should men have to bear this suffering while the gals just get away with a "no".
We are talking about a gender-equal world, aren’t we? so lets have a role reversal for a change girls.. let guys have all the pampering from you.. after ages of pampering YOU.. they sure deserve it… give them that "care" and the feeling that "they" are special to you all..
Anyone game enough? Will anyone of ladies reading this go ahead and take that step?
