Girl Meets Boy- अजीब दास्ताँ है ये -Part 1

                                                   Introduction:
  I Always had this thought of connecting stories and being a great fan of reverse screen play,i have tried my best to bring about a connection in the various charecters i have introduced here.I have tried to connect thier present by going into their future .Every incident in the Part 1 has a reason which will be unvieled in the Part 2 which is the final Part .The incidents here are taken from real life and gives us a good understanding of how things shape out in our lives  and what aspect of control we can have on it.

I thank my very  good friend for giving  inputs to the story  .Especially this being the 25th Blog .Thanks for reading the previous ones guys .So no philosophy and management here,Pakka local  story.
                                    Life As It Is
                                                            Continues ....
                
                 " अजीब  दास्ताँ  है  ये ,कहा शुरू कहा ख़तम "

                                            As i always say you can only choose the Path ...You dont have a choice
                                                       
                                       Mystry Begins   ...          Part 1

A mid aged lady from India in  Down town Chicago is enjoying her morning walk  with  music playing in her ipod  "आपके  नज़रों  ने  समझा  प्यार  के  काबिल  मुझे " suddenly encounters this guy from India coming in the opposite direction  .The guy gazes at the mid aged lady as if he knows her and passes by.
The lady starts thinking about this guy and moves on.
                                           Lets meet Reshma a typical South Indian Girl now settled in USA with her husband .Reshma is an extrovert ,highly talented ,intelligent Indian Women.Reshma finishes her household work and sits on the easy chair and starts sipping a cup of tea with music playing in the background .Reshma starts thinking of her good  old college days ...
                         "Even i want to be part of the music team " ,"and i am  sure we will win "... says Rahul to Reshma.
"This guy has lot of attitude ,i hate this guy ,he is very arrogant and i donot want him to be part of the music team " Reshma tells Meera .
Lets meet Meera a very close friend of Reshma and a very important charecter in this story .

"Let's have him,he sings very well.We will surely have a better chnce of winning the competition " Meera tells Reshma.
Reshma is the coordinator of the music competition and they have come for a University Festival and she agrees for Rahul to be part of the music competition .
They get qualified to the finals and win the competition and Rahul impresses everyone with his singing abilities ...
The University festival is over and Rahul and his friend Mrinal (native of a place in the border of Gujarat and Maharastra ) get into the Bus and they are supposed to go back Home the same day.Reshma and her friends also travel in the same bus .
Mrinal is an introvert and is son of a businessman and had come to the University festival to participate in a technical event .
                      As Rahul tries to start a conversation with Reshma and Meera ,Mrinal is sitting in a corner reading a novel.

The clock sounds 12 Pm  Reshma realises its time to prepare lunch as kids would be back any time soon .The calling bell rings  ...  Reshma now goes to the door and open the door  .There is a middle aged man standing and she feels she has seen him somewhere ,the man gives inivation for the Premier of a Film of Raj Malhotra in New York .Raj Malhotra is a very good friend of Reshma and is settled in California now and was an aspiring filmmaker in the early years .He is now an entrepreneur settled with his wife in USA.Reshma is very happy for Raj and tells the person she will definitely make it with her family to the premier .
               She calls Meera and asks if she is going to make it and tells her it can be a great reunion of old friends .
             Meera is now settled in India ,and Meera and her husband are supposed to be in New York around that time.Both agree to make it but are not sure who else are invited and would be there at the premier.

Reshma and Meera make it to the Priemier with their family and are surprised to see  Tina there.They wish each other .They take the special reserved seat that Raj had arranged for them ,Tina sits besides them and the film starts...
                                        There is a guy in the bus trying to start a  conversation with Reshma !Mrinal is sitting in the corner reading some book and now Reshma and Meera  ask each other did you know this ...

Raj had planned to make a film on their lives in the early years ,they sit back to watch the film  and Reshma now remembers who she saw during her morning walk .
                                   The Film continues with background music चलते  चलते  यूँही  कोई  मिल  गया  था playing in the Bus ....

A Passing Dream ...

A pleasant evening ,as i walk past my old school on a weekend,less traffic -an adorable weather  ,I remember those good old days .Those days of  fun and frolic ....,those fights ,those Physical Training Classes ,the 1 hour prayer in our school every day.It used to go on something like this "ಐಡು ಬೆರಳು ಕೂಡಿ ಒಂದು ಮುಷ್ಟಿಯು " and many more and finally Vande Mataram and Sare Jaha Se...We used to enjoy those days.And who can forget that "Cream Bun " we used to eat in the nearby bakery near our school in the evenings.It used to be 1 rupee at that time !
                 Things change ,life changes ,we change.But memories remain constant .I cannot change them ,might sound  a bit abstract ,but i am not talking about inception here.So what i learnt from these dreams ...
           "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

Sometime i get a feeling that dreams are an unattainable reality ,because they do not have a vision and most importantly deadlines !

I love dreams though ,because i can do what ever i want,i can change things .I am the GOD here.

I have the power.I can  make every one around me happy.There are no constraints .Then again as i walk past the old school i remember the old friends ,those school days and suddenly i see my favourite English Teacher coming in front of me and its been ages i have not talked to him .I hear a voice from background ,its already 7 30 not going for office today?,My mom is calling ,i wake up and the monotony of life continues.

This is not the first time this has happened.Once i was talking to Lady Diana in my dream and it was interrupted the same way. !

I am not sure my dream never gets completed even in my dream.Till then waiting for that moment ...


By the way completed reading the  Biopic of Steve Jobs,great book .Must read and a good insight to fulfil your dreams .!

           And let me end it with a great saying from great man :
                    "       We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give  "
                                                                                             
                                                                   Life As It Is 
                                                                                      Continues ...
        
    Always Yours,

A True GentleMan in a GentleMen's Game

“Team in trouble? Whom do you turn to? Rahul Dravid!” ... Ian Chappell

This could be the greatest complement  Rahul Dravid has achieved in a long and illustrious career ,especially playing  aside other greats .Yes,there were many match winning or match saving  innings from his list of 36 hundreds but to earn this reputation is something special and even the greats would have unanimous opinion in this.
Here was a Gentleman who batted like a Gentleman .As goes the say "Nothing great will ever be achieved without great mean, and men are great only if they are determined to be so" here was a determined soldier who showed humility in his aggression and played the game the way it needs to be played.

 Legacy is left behind ,but the show goes on ... Life Moves on ...
                                                          
Time to find the new trouble shooter ... Are there any ?
