Jokes and serious jokes!!

I dont know why; weird things happen around me; I am pron to it I think.. anyways..

1) I entered this almost empty bus.. and sat leisurely in a seat and kept my back in my next seat..!!A guy entered the bus and came to my place; lifted my bag and sat next to me!!.. I was so scared .. Is this fellow a gay?? when all the seats are empty why the hell he should sit next to me?? I told him , Sir .. can you sit in the front seat!! .. he looked at me seriously and told me.. thats a Ladies seat!!.. WTF!! I wanted to shout .. I dont mean the seat alone there are many seats available!!.. but with due respect I requested him to guy me space and went back and sat at the last seat.. praying no one would disturb me!! ..lol!!

But then as they say ..Fate can hurt you in many ways; being an AC bus; RTC arranged a TV in it.. to make things worse they are advertising about RTC in it.. I saw the worst ad of my life.. but heights of torture reached .. when the ad got stuck.. and few dialogues started to repeat!!

Guy: What if there is no internet at home to book that ticket?
GIrl: you can book in the nearby internet center!!

repeat 1;

repeat 2; lauughing..

repeat 3; wtf

repeat 4 ; frustration

repeat 5 ; i gave up!!

god bless!!

2) I met 2 friends. one of them told this joke ( about the other guy ). Before marriage this fellow took a room near his office , I asked him, why are you wasting money.. instead of spending 15 k.. you can take a room at some place.. you can save money!!.. he told me, for a 8k room add the fuel cost, it would be same..

after marriage; she changed his room to a distant place; I asked him; if you save rent, petrol cost will add up.. he told me .. 15K is too much.. ha ha

A perfect vice versa.. ha ha ha

3) just saw a testimonial I got in Orkut few years back.. loved those words.." Yuhin Challa chal rahi....Yuhin Challa chal rahi...... Okay this is abt Challa.. explaining him who is always very fast to speak i dont know his problem is , so only few of his words i can able to understand. He is always ready to copy my practical notebook, dont want to miss any time. At last, he is very talented person for videography & wanna become a Director. Okay! My best wishes with u.

4) A friend told me a story today; its about a guy who aspires to become a guitarist; his father is against it; and his mother likes his son a lot but couldnt convince his father.. and finally a girl who supports him; but her father is planning her to marry her to a rich.. Now will our hero follows his passion and will he win his love!! this is the conflict..

My ass.. how many times will you write the same crap again n again n again.. believe me.. I believe in this.. if parents dont support its not your problem.. anything that obstructs isnt love .. its an obstacle!! I would also say; parents shouldnt anything from their kids either.. they are supposed to what they wanna do.. they have things to worry about.. you dont become one more cause for their worries.

No offence though to parents and kids..!!

Life n Love!!

Lets start with a beautiful quote I read recently ""Before enlightenment I chopped wood and carried water, after enlightenment I chopped wood and carried water.".. hilarious yet a ruthless truth..!!

1) Its a beautiful day; I saw song of life today.. after a long time; believe me there are thousands of mistakes in it.. all the same I fell in love with it.. it was the same feeling when I got when I watched films in college aimlessly.. or read books savouring them..and that was the feeling that really drove me here.. Life is beautiful ..huh..

Speaking of love, I love the rains, dew, lazy winters , jokes and I do believe in helping people.. may be love is something that really makes us feel our existence!! I always knew, I cant stay forever in my college;as a fact I hated my college initially, but when ever I think of it.. I feel happy.. I think of that guy who aimlessly roamed around seeking and learning about films!! few people thought I am crazy!! .lol.. A thing that stays with you for ever and ever!!

I laugh around a lot when I am free; many people ask "you do you always laugh!!?" the answer is simple.. because I have nothing more to do!! But there are times I really try to think and understand.. to write or to work.. i might look serious at that times.. but these are the times I really really enjoy!! struggle makes you hard and fit!! I just love it!!

I had the pleasure of having an excellent chap yesterday.. he spoke some great words.. as usual he is one the guys bitten by movies!! he says .. " few people like Omprakash, sanjay leela bhansali.. they just love films.. and they just live for it!!"

he told me about few independent short films that went to Oscars .. and few festivals..

meeting new people and knowing new things!! thats what this is all about..

Stories!!.. Movies...!!

The winter is back!! Lazy bones ache to move, but I drag myself to the lappy to write something..

may be the best thing I would love to do now. All the same lets continue!!

I love stories.. they fascinated me.. I remember my aunt who used to tell me stories at dinner

time.. I dont remember the story.. but I remember that i wouldnt eat unless someone told me that

story again and again and again!!

I love harry potter and lotr.. just read them at a stretch.. but of all these things.. I really

really love.. stories of mahabharata and ramayana.. they absolutely fascinate me.. my father being

a literature lover .. told me some very good stories.. especially Krishna's character fascinates

me!! forget he is god.. his insights are something everyone should really think off!!

So coming to the point; A team is planning to work on a short film on Tilak and i went to a meet to

discuss on the project. And I know most of them and I learnt a lot from them and suddenly we were

discussing on mahabharata!! we saw that Abhimanyu entering the Padmavyuha in peter brooks

mahabharata.. and we started discussing on it.

Mohan said " Instead of seeing mahabharata as an epic, I see at a happening; a fight between

brothers who were fierce warriors.. try to imagine how many young men died at that time!! it was

a great economic loss to the nation!!"

Speaking of mahabharata .. we discussed some good stories..

1) Arjuna once questioned Krishna.. why everyone praises Karna so much as a great donor.. even I

can donate and give alms as much as him. Krishna said.. " okay show me " Arjuna gathered to big

piles of gold and is donating hand full to everyone ; and gave it to many people and told krishna..

see how nmuch i donated!! krishna looked at the pile of gold left.. and then asked Karna to give

the money to people.. karna called 2 guys and just told them.. you take this pile and you take that

pile!!

beautiful story; arjuna was always counting how much he needs to give to someone; but in the case

of karna he just gives .. he never counts!!

2) The mahabharata war was over.. finally pandavas and krishna went to bhishma and informed him

that it was over. Bhishma praised krishna that it was all done by him and the victory belongs to

him..and this really hurt Arjuna.. he wondered.. " I did all the work" and how come everyone are

praising krishna!! ,.. finally krishna got into the chariot and took arjuna home; arjuna requested

krishna to get down!! krishna said .. no no.. you get down first.. and so arjuna got down; hanuman

on the flag also got down and finally krishna got down!! and then the chariot broke down to

pieces!! Arjuna didnt understand what happened and asked krishna what happened!! Krishna told him "

This chariot didnt break down because I was sitting on it.. else it would smashed long back becuse

of the Karna's arrows!!.. Another beauty!!

and we discussed many more stories and I started to listen bhagavadgeetha now.. seriously amazing

stories.. and it follows a definite logic.. lets take ramanaya.. story follows logic... sita is

from bihar and rama is from UP.. they travel through Madhya pradesh and settles in south.. and it

perfectly match to the geography!! great people lived here.. and it was a pleasure for all of us!!
Gimme a hapy days work, good conversations , music and a good book to read!! I wouldnt complain!!

3) lets speak of movies!! I saw bull shit film recently called 7th sense.. what exactly happened was; the director came to know that a south indian taught chinese people martial arts.. so now he wanted to tell that india s great and tamilians are great and we forget our culture.. all is well..

but the point is does the director believe in this shit at all?? why do you want to show foreign cultured songs and fuckin say india is great.. come on guys.. we speak english in international cconference.. you just cant write a bull shit scene and say lets speak tamil in conferences!! and believe me .. no scholar looks down at another scholar just because the works are not in english.. after all we contributed a lot in maths and science to this world.. and everyone respects us.

Thoughts!!!

I am in a great mood today.. so its simple.. you guys are very dead..



I really wanna make a fresh start from today.. I keep my knowledge, out of my experience (not failures and successes) and wanna move ahead!!



the concept of failure and successes is a weird concept.. My grand father started a class some day back.. " I know a fellow who worked as a class IV employee and after I retired I canced to meet him yesterday!! we kept talking and he told me that his son is in London." I know where it is leading to.. so I told him " why dont you come to the point!.. he kept telling me " that It was 2 years I started the project .. and I dont see anything concrete from you.. why dont you shift to your old job?"..



I replied " who told you that I will do something in 2 years.. I never did"

and people measure things in terms of time.. if we dont get certain success in stipulated time.. we get scared we loose hopes!! Such a pity!!



Suppose you wrote a novel for an year and then It went bad, or you couldnt fix it right.. you have to drop it.. and the other guy wrote a novel and became a great success.. apart from money and name factor.. both had the same journey.. along with their characters.. I say both won!! Its the experience it matters.. many guys lived in this world.. many popular guys; many unknowns.. end of the day.. you call it a good life.. if you loved it.... and you know if you have the courage to drop something and move on than to worry about the past.. you rock!!



I will always love a guy who constantly learnt and improved.. and people who understood what life is all about!! I strongly believe its within us.. not with someone else!!



lets finish of with a weird joke!!



My Mom and her sister to meet a fortune teller.. they asked about my future it seems.. and he told about me.. " he will do good , and you wont find trouble in arranging his marriage.. but he is not a good boy.. He will do many things before marriage"..



God knows what he meant ..lol.. but My Mom's sis came to me and told me.. "Srikanth.. I thought you are good boy.. but I dont know you are like this.."..lol



She really believed all his words.. I mean she took a fortune teller's words for grant!!..lol



PS:-) I am a very bad boy.. beware of me

27!!

Inspired souls!! People who loved and really lived in this world, people who learnt all the way through out their lives, questioning the stuff... !! I wish I could meet more guys like this!!

Time doesnt matter; all the same there were some time lines set; and on this oct 31st start second .. I would have spent 27 years on this earth!! I would say 27 beautiful years.. I am not saying easy.. I am just saying beautiful.

I questioned myself what was I upto all these years... the answer was " I did nothing".. i feel proud of nothing nor I am worried about anything. all I am planning to is to keep with me whatever I learnt and to start afresh.

The best thing in these would be the time I travelled !! so it aint about anything material.. So its just about the love for nature and the lessons I learnt along. I remember the perfect blue sky after the rain once I was driving in an evening after rain!!

I dont remember much till my tenth standard.. I happily accept that I was an asshole.. but started to have some fun after that... went along to college.. may be the very turning point of life.. 2 years of IBM.. and one year of song of life.. and one more year, tried different things but got out nothing.. and yeah.. thats 27..

easy days were always easy.. laugh around, tell jokes.. i did have some fun; but i didnt love them much, tough days were damn frustrating but looking back they made me tough and taught me more.

But the best moments were my travelling days,the time I spent I worked on my stories thinking of characters, and ofcourse the directing the stories!!

Wish I could get more moments like this!!

This year ofcourse had been the worst, last october 30th I screened Song of life in Prasad's.. and then the year just flew away ,some awful things happened.. and looking back it was a complete black out.. i worked on a project and dropped out in between for various reasons, spent all my earning color and then the fellow ran of with my money, girl factor.. enough of crap that I seriously wanna leave behind me.. must say the toughest so far.. all the same it taught me great lessons.. or shall I say I learnt what not to do!!

I repeat , funny though, life sometimes teaches in the toughest away!!

Thanks to one and all whom I met !!

Three sad stories!!

I am back!! So expect one very long blog, nothing else!! ..lol


First things first; I hate sad stories; yup I loved schindler's list.. but I try to stay from them

as much as possible.

All the same ; if you have a story with you; you have to tell it .. so lets start !!

But I had to warn this isnt for people who believe in right or wrong!! its for people who believe in Life

1) I studied in my village till 5th standard; there is this girl who is a muslim; we used to be in same section and same tuition and we know each other well; so even after that when ever we meet each other in my village we say a 'Hi'. My father and her father were also classmates!!

Some months back some one told me; she eloped with a hindu.. against the wishes of the family!! its fine with me till this point. Now the real trouble started, It seems the guy was a real ass hole and I also heard that she did her Msc maths and is teaching in a college to run the family and this fellow is sitting idle. I felt bad.

and yesterday my father came to me and asked me " do you know that girl , she is the daughter of the librarian ".. I told "yes dad I know her!!"

"you know about her marriage?"

"yes dad"

" well it seems your batch mates arranged a get together recently and this girl went to the party.. this fellow didnt like it seems.. and he beat her like hell.. and she is the mother of a 3 month old baby!! her mother tried to stop him; it seems he bet her too and finally he bet his father in law too. I just saw him ( her father in law).. there are bruises all over his place!!

For once I felt like breaking his legs.. I just wish she will kick him on his balls and throw him out and start a new life!! darn it , a psychopath behaviour!!

2) This story is a about a friend of mine Kalyan; we worked with the same director some 6 months; and the best part is we are absolutely different in our views!! If I say A he would say its B. But funnily we travelled so much together we became best friends and ofcourse views continue to be different. We have something in common too, non smoking and drinking, willing to travel and being ready to work anytime. May be that set the friendship!! after sometimes its like we were brothers!!!

one thing about him is he is a playboy!! he managed ten blind kids when rehearsing in an apartment and it seems he started a romance with MBBS student in the nearby place!! so he keeps telling what he did with all girls.. one fine day I told him tell me all about your girlfriends, .. he asked me

"which one?".. I said "lets start with the first"

he started " Well its a telephone love story; she used to study in vijayawada in a hostel .. and she is a christian, somehow I got her number and I used to call from hyderabad.. soon we were talking for hours, its not just her.. her friends used to talk me too for hours they used to call me brother.. it was like we cant live without each other .. atleast for me.

Once on christmas eve I went to her home town and I called her , she said she was in the church.. so I waited near the church!! they started moving out and I saw this girl.. believe me she was beautiful like hell.. i didnt even see her .. but I know it was her.. funny after she crossed me.. she called me.. arent you standing there at the pole!! she too didnt see me but she expected that It was me!! I was so happy that day".

Believe me if I saw this in a theatre I would have laughed like hell and would have said that its the worst meladrama.. ever made. But he is right before me and he really did it.. and my heart went for him.

I asked " what happened to her".. he continued " this continued for many months and we were even talking sex on phone!! and suddenly she stopped calling ; and changed her sim!!

So i had no idea for some days what happened to her!! and then I got the number of her friend.. I called her.. she broke down and told me that the girl got married!!"

Believe me.. they was so much of pain in his voice!!

" and now I dont believe in girls.. I play with everyone when possible"..

funny that his voice was so strained.. I could see his pain struggling to get over his first love.. he is bluffing to himself.. deep inside he is a kid trying to forget his first love!! god bless..

this story is absolute crap.. yet it touched me.. something wrong with my basics!!..lol

3) A friend of mine told me this story.. let me introduce him; he left for films
after intermediate and ran after producers for an year !! then he understood the situation and came back and joined engineering . All the same he continued writing for serials in chennai bunking his classes in sullurpet. Then he joined in a mainframe course in hyderabad and simultaneously started searching for film oppurtunities.and finally found a job in IBM .. and is still aspiring to make
good films!! no doubt we glew together!!

anyways we were chitchatting and finally started talking on production managers ( they control the dates of artists and budget). But in the industry are they are known as people who eat away money showing false accounts.

he started his story " When I used to write dialogues for serials ; I used to stay in chennai.. and at that time you know parents send us only two thousand rupees.. and I always wanted more money; My salary was five thousand for each month. I was waiting for 2 months salary. then this production manager came to me and told me "Sasi, I needed to pay some money so I paid your 10 thousand to someone , so you wont get 2 months salary!!".. " I got so pissed that I wanted to shout "Fuck you". all the people exploit these starters like hell. He used to come to sets and demanded cigerrettes from us. We cant fight with him.. because he may speak bad about us to the producer.. and we cant complain everything to the director.. so we used to keep silent."

"After joining IBM I went again to meet him in the studio.. some one told me he escaped with a lot of money. Then I found a kid waiting outside waiting for him. I asked him why is he waiting for the prod manager. He told me that the manger had promised a role and took thirty thousand rupees from him!! do you understand the importance of thirty thousand.. he can survive for thirty months adjusting with meagre things!! and he might have as well run off from home with that thirty
thousand.. so he cant even go back!!"

"When I moved to banglore; the manager called me up once; dont know how he got it and told me " Sasi I am busy in a shooting now.. can you recharge my cell.. for 555 .. when I come to banglore I will give you some two thousand"

this is man is absolute crap!!

Guys I have one more love story.. one damned lengthy one that will be equal in length to everything I wrote here.. I will blog it for sure next time!!

till then

With Love... to my dearest friend!!

Let me start with my favourite quote from dead poets " whatever this world says.. believe me.. Ideas and words can change this world!!".. beautiful words indeed!!

I try to remember my childhood days when I was a kid!! I remember the walk from my house to school.. all the way I occasionally cry that I dont wanna go to school!!;

I remember the cricket ground where we used to play cricket all the time!! I remember my old house.. made of red tiles.. not the concrete new one!! I remember the

goose berries we collected we collected from the tree in our back yard.. and incidentally sucking honey out of the wild flowers that used to grow behing our house (

my mom taught me that!!).. ha ha ha..

I remember this particular incident particularly ; it rained well.. Me and my sister were walking back from tuition to home.. the kid i was.. the water was came till my knees.. and then this man appeared with some weird raincoats for both of us; weird plastic coats with pink roses printed on it.. with an umbrella in his hand(I was scared that dogs might when i go wearing that.. ) Speaking of the man who came with those coats.. he was always there for me!!

He came to me whenever its possible with eatable packets and chicken when I was in hostel.. he came to visit even when i was in college in north.. he turned up when I was screening my first film!! the man who pushed me along with him to himalayas.. and i fell in love with them.. may be the best moments I ever had were my adventure days..of all the things the human values I learnt from you..were something no one can ever teach me!! this bond is something I cherish.

My friend ; guide ; my hero.. and my father.. you are simply the best!!

Ofcourse we had our differences!! he is typical in education and forced me to study a lot!! I am a rebel.. I believe in an education that comes out of free thinking..

Just some days ago he was telling me ; I should have pushed you to US.. I told him.. I would have been just one more kid..who sends greeting cards to his parents than to be with them!!.. we argued.. all the same.. we forgot it after some time!!

On the retirement day.. I wish a beautiful after life.. may be some social service and may be in exploring new places!! I wish you good luck!!

I must say my core adventure spirit came from you!! thanks a lot for everything father.. You are one the guys I would call a Dude..lol

I understand what it is to work for 30- 40 years in a place.. that almost becomes your place.. I understand what it is to miss it.. all the same.. time comes we need to leave something.. we just leave..

I am glad I was there when people were praising about your sincerity!! ( A railway employee that too a ticket collector who doesnt take a bribe is no joke!!); of your knowledge ( reading books is the legacy I took ).. of all the things the spirit of adeventure.. even his friends were speaking of his love to travel.. gangothri; yamunothri; kedarnath; badrinath.. amarnath!! rajasthan.. awaiting for manas sarovar!!.. good luck with everything!!

I wish I could become a good chap like you!!
