Business Idea

Remember the famous dialogue from the movie Deewar - Mere pass gaadi hai, bangla hai, bank balance hai tumhare pass kya hai?. I am using the same dialogue and trying to write a funny story.

Amitabh Bachan – Mere pass gaadi hai, bangla hai, bank balance hai. Tumhare pass kya hai?
Shashi Kapoor – Mere pass business idea hai.
Amitabh Bachan – Hayiii. Yeh business idea kya hota hai?
Shashi Kapoor – Gaadi kaisi hai? 2-wheeler, 3-wheeler ya 4-wheeler?
Amitabh Bachan – Mere pass Honda city car hai.
Shashi Kapoor – Bhai aajkal Honda city ka zamana nahi hai. Bank balance se ek auto kharido bhai.
Amitabh Bachan – Usse kya honga? Hayiii
Shashi Kapoor – Bhai woh auto sinfy ke pass chalana. Log reserve mein auto lenge aur tumhara bank balance ek common software engineer jitna ho jayega.
Amitabh Bachan (Surma Bhopali from sholay style) – Yeh kya keh riye ho?
Amitabh Bachan – Main Don hoon koi auto driver nahi. Samjhe?
Shashi Kapoor – Bhai bada socho. Aajkal auto walo se koi panga nahi le sakta. Ab ghar toh jaana hai toh auto lena honga. Aur jitna rate mangoge logon ko dena honga.
Amitabh Bachan – I don’t like the idea. Aur koi business idea hai?
Shashi Bachan – Haan bhai. Mere pass toh idea hi idea hai. Acha bhai are you sure you have a banglow?
Amitabh Bachan – Haan. Humara ghar toh sabse bada hai. Usse bada ghar iss sehar mein nahi dekha honga.
Shashi Kapoor – Bhai aapke ghar mein kitne room hain?
Amitabh Bachan – Humare bangle mein 10 room hain. Ab idea batao.
Shashi Kapoor – Wah bhai itne saare room. Itne toh aajkal ek 3 BHK mein beds lagte hain. Aur bhai ek bed ka rate hota hai Rs. 3000. Acha bhai tum apne kitne floors hain bangle hain?
Amitabh Bachan – 2 floors hain. Neeche mein 5 rooms aur upar mein 5 rooms.
Shashi Kapoor – Acha bhai bangle ka main door kholte hi hall aata hai ya bedroom?
Amitabh Bachan (in angry tone)– Yeh kaisa non-sense sawal hai. Main door kholte hi hall aata hai.
Shashi Kapoor – Bhai gussa kyu hote ho. Aajkal yeh bhi fashion mein hai. Hall ko log bedroom mein convert kar dete hain. 1 hall aur 1 bedroom ka ghar 2BHK ban jaata hai.
Amitabh Bachan – Acha. Par yeh BHK hota kya hai?
Shashi Kapoor – Bhai kyu majak kar rahe ho. Waise hum business ki baat kar rahe the. Acha neeche ke 5 rooms hum apne liye rakh lenge. Ek mein aap rehna, ek mein main, ek mein maa rahegi, ek puja ghar aur ek ko hum guest room bana denge.
Amitabh Bachan – Maa wapas aa jayegi mere pass?
Shashi Kapoor – Haan bhai. Main jaisa kehta hoon waisa karoge toh jarur aa jayegi. Upar ke 5 rooms mein 3 beds laga kar rent par laga do. Aur ek bed ka rent minimum Rs. 2000 charge karna.
Amitabh Bachan (Kishor kumar style from Padosan) – Arey bangroo, idea toh acha hai. Par tujhe nahi lagta ki rent kuch jyada hai. Rs. 2000/bed?
Shashi kapoor – Arey bhai bada socho. Aajkal log aise hi business karte hain.
Amitabh Bachan – Business toh Abhishek ne kiya tha Guru mein phir bhi last mein court case hua. Aur humare ABCL ka haal toh jaante ho kaisi buri halat ho gayi thi ek time. Pata chala beds le liye paise invest kar diye aur log nahi aaye rent par rehne ke liye. Profit nahi hua toh risk ho jayega.
Shashi Kapoor – Bhai iss business mein sirf profit hi profit hai. Tum try toh karo. Kisi ko pata bhi nahi chalega. Iske liye toh koi income tax proof dikhane ki jarurat nahi hai.
Amitabh Bachan (Again in Surma Bhopali from sholay style) – Yeh kya keh riye ho? Maine toh suna hai ki rent bhi income hota hai toh income tax department ko dikhana toh padega.
Shashi Kapoor – Bhai yeh kaisi baat karte ho. Tum don ho na ki koi common software engineer. Income aur tax ki baatein tumhare muh se achi nahi lagti.
Amitabh Bachan – This idea sounds interesting. Main aaj hi investment karta hoon ghar par. Aur maa ke swagat ka bhi intazam karta hoon.
Shashi Kapoor – Good bhai tumko mera yeh idea pasand aaya. Bhai ek baat aur?
Amitabh Bachan – Haan bol bhai kya chaiye?
Shashi Kapoor – Ab maine tumhare bank balance ko badhane ka idea diya hai toh mera bhi bank balance badhao. Transfer some money to my account bhai.
Amitabh Bachan – Hayiii. Jao pehle usse paise lekar aao jisne humara baap ko paise nahi diye aur mere haath par yeh likh diya ki tumhara baap garib hai. Usse paise lekar aao jisne maa ki din bhar ki majduri ke paise nahi diye. Jao usse paise lekar aao jisne mere se paise chin liye.
Shashi Kapoor – Bhai you want to meet maa then you have to give me the money. Aur waise bhi bhai tumko pata hai mujhe Ghajini wali problem. Mujhe kisi ka naam aur sakal yaad nahi hai.
Amitabh Bachan – Acha thik hai. Yeh toh yaad rahega na ki shaam ko maa ko lekar aana hai.
Shashi Kapoor – Haan bhai. Bas Rs. 10000 mere business idea ke liye transfer kar dena aur ghar ke rent ka business partnership mein karege.
Amitabh Bachan – Rs. 10000 for business idea. Hayiii. Acha thik hai tum bhi kya yaad rakhoge kis dil dar se mile ho. Yeh rahe Rs. 5000 aur baaki Rs. 5000 shaam ko maa ke aane ke baad mil jayege.
Shashi Kapoor – Bhai tujh mein rab dikhta hai. Abhi chalta hoon police station mein commissioner sir ko good news de deta hoon ki don ne naya tarika nikala hai logon ko lootne ka. Aur yeh tarika aaj kal har koi apna rahe hain. Woh toh khush ho jayege. Shaam ko maa ke saath aata hoon bagle par.
Amitabh Bachan – Hayiii. Shaam ko milte hain.

Blood Donation

I know many people over here and other places are still sacred of donating blood. There are lots of myth associated with the blood donation. Here is the list of few myths people have regarding blood donation:-

1. You wouldn’t want my blood. I am of a common group?
We constantly need donors of all blood groups


2. Nobody has ever asked me to donate blood?
Consider yourself invited!


3. I am too old!
If you are between 17 and 60 yrs & in good health you can donate!


4. But I am underweight!
Not, if you are 45 Kg or more, and in good health, you can donate blood .


5. Oh! But I am anemic !
We test for anemia before every donation.


6. But it will make me weak?
Blood Donation has no ill effect on the body. You can resume your routine duties immediately after blood donation. The body in short time recoups the amount of blood donated and you can donate blood again after 3 months.


7. I am too busy & it is too convenient!
The entire procedure of blood donation takes about 15-20 minutes whereas Blood Donation is just 5 minutes job!


8. But is it safe to donate blood?
Yes! Absolutely safe - all equipment used is sterile and disposable. Thus, there is no risk of any infection including AIDS

If you still have any concerns and feel scared to donate blood then just visit a blood donation camp. Talk to the people taking/giving blood and then I am sure that you would love to donate your blood. Its not at all a painful process. Donate blood and feel lucky that you would be saving someone’s life.

IPL 2009

I know I am a little late in sharing my views about IPL 2009. This time the IPL shifted to South Africa because the IPL dates clashed with the elections in India. Providing sufficient security to the players was not possible because of this. Also after the terror attacks at Mumbai on 26/11 and again attacks in Pakistan while Sri Lankan Cricket Team was toruing there Lalit Modi could not take the risk of having the games in India. So from the security point of view it was a wise decision of having the IPL matches outside India.

8 teams faced each other and played 56 interesting league matches before semi-finals. The neck to neck competition between the teams to make their position in the top 4 was evident. One cannot forget the tie breaker between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Night Riders. Another interesting match was between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians where the win came on last ball for Rajasthan Royals.

This time the entertainment from the bollywood camp was less. Infact the cheerleaders also didnt add much spice to the game of the cricket. This time the IPL was more about cricket and less about drama. Drama like the last year where Preity Zinta hugging Yuvraj Singh became a news. Where Harbhajhan slapped Sreeshant or Shah Rukh Khan jumping in the stand with all the bollywood stars with him. Although this time Shilpa Shetty took the franchise of last season IPL winners Rajasthan Royals. But still that omph factor of bollywood stars and cheerleaders was missing.

Semi-finals again were an interesting one. Delhi Daredevils and Chennai Super kings lost their matches in the semi-finals even though they were the top 2 teams after the league matches. In the first semi-final Delhi Daredevil played against Deccan Chargers and it looked that Adam Gilchrist had decided that he will let the world know that he is still the best player. His batting in the semi-finals was unstoppable and that made Deccan Chargers win the game. The other semi-final was between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super kings. Chennai Super kings had made it to the finals last year and this time also most people thought that Chennai Super kings will be one of the teams in the finals. Infact till the 15 overs of chase by Royal Challengers Bangalore everyone would have felt that Chennai Super kings will win the match. But then its 20-20 cricket and in the last 5 overs Royal Challengers Bangalore turned the game and finally win it.

In the finals Deccan Chargers and Royal Challenger Bangalore fought with each other for the IPL 2009 title. The match was really amazing. After the win in semi-finals Adam Gilchrist wanted more and it was clear from the way he played. Also the way he made his team play it evident that he wanted that IPL trophy. Last year no one expected that Rajasthan Royals will win but they won. Same was the case with Deccan Chargers as they were the last team in the IPL 2008. But changing the captain of both the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Deccan Chargers proved that still old is gold. Both Anil Kumble and Adam Gilchrist did a wonderful job as captains and rose to a level of being the top 2 teams in the IPL 2009 season.

After all its cricket and anything can happen in the game and this IPL season made one thing clear expect the unexpected. Who knows in the next season of IPL Kolkata Knight Riders become the winner. Well in this season they are the ones to be the last team. I am being hopeful and there is nothing wrong that. There is a long way to go till IPL 2010. Hopefully the next season will also be exciting but there should be some hindi movies also being released during the IPL season. It was really a dry spell for bollywood movies in this year's IPL season. IPL rocks and I must admit that the entire season was fun-filled. :)
