Tanu weds Manu

Warning: This is all gibberish from an insane person, read only if you have spare time, otherwise you are yourself to blame.

Recently I watched “Tanu weds Manu”, presumably an ordinary movie but I found it an offbeat, connecting, and based on some burning social issues. Here is why:

1. Our movies always portrayed the guy working abroad as sophistically foolish (even villainous) character who enjoyed meddling between the love birds. Not to mention, in the climax, the looser soul had to return empty handed to face the evil world. This movie tries to break the trend, and gives a confidence to them to clap in the theatre.

2. What an honest way of showing loneliness? I felt like crying (went against because of fear of embarrassment in the crowd), when protagonist Madhvan speaks with wet eyes “लन्दन में १२ साल से मैं अकेला ही हूँ , रोज सुबह उठ के नाश्ता अकेले ही बनता हूँ और अकेले ही खाके ऑफिस चला जाता हूँ”(Imagine the plight of a person doing the same for lunch and dinner as well).” कोई ऐसा दोस्त नहीं है है मेरा जो की जो खाश हो” (Very true, on top of it, there might be few souls, who have already sunk, possibly even with wrong boat and because of guileless they greet you with same stupid questions at 8AM in the morning).

3. Preparation and persistency is the key whether you attend any technical interview or approach a girl. Madhvan failed miserably at first instance but later he showed an exemplary level of persistency. (Honestly I also performed badly in one of such lone “interviews” where I went without reading FAQs and like any technical interview, started muttering the words like “Actually & basically...!” with low confidence).

4. The film somehow depicts the globalization effect on our small cities in true sense; so it’s time to be prepared for any eventuality, time to stop feeling guilty about beer and worth putting efforts on trying whisky and rum. Apparently globalization effect is visible on our families even (for good) as my mom keeps on saying me about Sharmaji’s daughter being married to someone from other caste/religion, expecting any such confession from me, completely unaware of my unfavourable factors like Microsoft (Stupid guys, bring on new technology every six months for a coder’s despair), service sector (same reasons), Aloo, Pyaj and Tamater (Most of the time I spent time on thinking about whether these are available at my room).

To conclude this and on a serious note I have to stop enjoying aloofness, keep aside my moronic interests (like blogging, photography & cycling) and start finding someone before the threshold time comes “Ki Sote hue ladki ko hi pasand karni pade”.

Engrossing personalities whom I met in last one year

It has been more than a month since I used this recycle bin. Honestly saying was definitely running out of some “sensible” thought. Country’s foreign policy is too headless to be commented, the political bosses are silent post election, busy in making and demolishing their own statues. Then it was also obligatory for me to show some yearning for Rakhi’s show (boring, will wait for season-2, 3..), “Sach Ka Samna” (stupid guys, probably wanted to make something called *** ka Samna and then changed the name at last moment), Harry Potter (really wonder why people are so crazy for it) and a technical event (every body was doing some thing, I also thought of washing my hands in Arabian Sea). Around one year back I had decided to change the gear to reach a new place of bread and butter. And as the poet says “Kabira is sansar main bhanti- bhanti ke log”, the new place meant the opportunity to meet some of the new riveting personalities.

**Restrained myself from taking the names as I strongly believe that they can’t be bound in a name but they are traits which every human being must possess.

• The most happy-go-lucky person : He‘s quite amiable and talented but so careless that will hardly take a pain even if tsunami reaches to his door. He always advocated for emancipating of delivery and schedules like a yogi talks about the “Moksha”.One small example of his greatness was that he made me fill his time sheet (the sheet to maintain daily activities) for one year.
• The VK magic : His getup reminded of the character “Tiger” from the old Hindi movies which was mostly played by Vinod Khanna, but amazing to see that he has got the most contemporary demeanor. One more specific thing about this person’s that he is very honest and believes in doing the daily activity differently rather than waiting some miracles to happen (I follow the later part, have to walk a lot) .
• The Pentium-1 Processor : Managing time is the most difficult art on this planet but seems she has really mastered in that. Invite her at your marriage and I bet she will definitely come to bless your second child. But as a thinker has truly said “Every body can’t possess each quality”, this character has got less vanity which I could rarely found amongst the “other” gender (albeit being a small town introvert guy, got to see very few of them closely).
