Star versus 'Star'

Star versus ‘Star’

On Tuesday a news swept across all the news channels ‘Sanjay Datt relieved by the court’. ‘Sirf Munna Not a bhai’ ’13 saal ka vanvaas khatam’ ‘alhough found guilty for possession of armory, Sanjay can breath sigh of relief as all the TADA charges against him are withdrawn’

And then many experts like Salman khan saying ‘He is a good person. We knew he will come out clean’ Mr. Big B ‘Datt family and our family have relations for years he’s a good kid. He is like elder brother to abhishek’. His sister priya Datt ‘we can sleep well tonight…it’s a great relief’

In other news, Parliament was mad at Indian team for performing bad; Greg chapel said something …..; Bomb scare in gorakhpoor express; and Shah Rukh Khan replaces Big B in KBC and Sonia asked PM to consider reducing petroleum prices (I wonder who’s the PM …anyways that is not the topic so leave it…) But most of the emphasis was given on Sanjay Datt’s “phoenix like” comeback from the ashes of terrorist charges.

Surfing through the channels, one news on BBC startled me, it read, Hisbul Mujahidin’s Most wanted terrorist ‘Sohel Faisal’ killed in anantnag, India. Indian Major leading the operation lost his life in the process. Four others are injured.

It was past midnight, I started visiting the Indian channels, the ones who are ‘Sabse TEZ’, but Sanjubaba was still ruling. They were telling How Sanjubaba pleaded to the court saying ‘I am the sole bread earner for my family’ ‘I have a daughter who is studying in US who will look after her’. And then they showed how sanjubaba was not wearing his lucky blue shirt while he was hearing the verdict. Also how he went to every temple and prayed for last some months. A suspect in Mumbai bomb blasts, convicted under armory act…..was being made into a hero.

Sure Sanjubaba has a daughter; sure sanjubaba did not do any terrorist thing as in bombing some place or hijacking an airplane etc. Possessing an AK47 is considered too elementary in terrorist community and also one who possesses an AK47 has a right to possess a pistol so that again is not such a big crime; Sure sanjubaba went to all the temples; Sure he did a lot of gandhigiri but then….., people… please read on…….

Major Manish H Pitambare got the information from his sources about the terrorists’ whereabouts. Wasting no time he attacked the camp killed the Hisbul mujahidin’s suprimo and in the process lost his life….. To the bullets fired from an AK47……

He has a wife and a daughter (just like sanjubaba), age …..18 months.

Major Manish never said ‘I have a daughter’ …before he took the decision to attack the terrorist hide out in the darkest of nights?

He never thought about having a family and he being the bread earner

No news channel covered this since they were too busy hyping a former drug addict, an actor in real and reel life, a suspect who’s linked to bomb blasts which killed hundreds. Their aim was to show how he defied the TADA charges and they were so successful that his conviction in possession of armory had no meaning. They also concluded that his parents in heaven must be happy and proud of him……

Parents of Major Pitambare are still on this earth and they have to live rest of their lives without their beloved son. His daughter won’t ever see her papa again.

Definition of a Star has changed Major… it really has. So sanjubaba always has a gun in every one of his movies then in real life if he has an AK47 then what’s the big deal we are used to see him with some ammunition without it he’s just a 49yr old hero so he did it for us…..so that we feel normal;

Even if one of the bullets from one of such AK47’s took a Real Star’s life …….

but sir bole toh ….. tension nahi leneka. Aapun ko thoda bura laga. Apun pure din aapke baarein mein socha. Sach bataun kya aapun dukhi matlab ki senty ho gaya isliye ye likha.

Baaki sanjubaba…..bole toh… congrats…aapko salmaan bhai ne kya certificate diya hai …ekdum raaapchik… kal jab unka case (haan woich hiran ki shikar wala) aaye toh aap bhi aisaich bolna unke baarein mein. Abhi aaj paper mein aaya ki woh parliament mein ‘lagey raho munnabhai’ dikhane wale ….us din dekhna bhai…… pure parliament mein sab saarein sansad honge. koi walk out nahi karega par bhai uska koi gurantee nahi hai kya pata …..agar hamare sansad indian cricket team ke selection pe lad padein?...... Kya bhaai point hain naa ? AAre haan apun ko yaad aaya ….woh sansad pe hamla karnewala koi afzal tha ….use abhi fasi hui …ya nahi hui …..jaane do apun ko kya…… kuch log marein ….. sansad ko bachatein hue …but bhai unki daughters toh india mein hich sikhti hain naa aapke jaise amerika mein nahi toh tension nahi leneka………

Sorry major, wo kya hai naa logon ko shudh hindi samztich nahi aajkal bole toh logon ka hriday parivartan hone ke liye aisahich likhna padta hai. But major….. ab ye kaise hoga aaapun ko nahi pata log boley saala lagey raho dekhke puri janta ab change hoegi koi rastein mein nahi thukega ….. koi zhut nahi bolega koi kisi ko pareshaan nahi karega desh mein gandhigiri aayegi…. par major apun ko doubt hai….. pata hain kyon ?

….. rang de basanti aayi thi tab bhi log aisehich kuch toh bolein they…

Finally Sir, to my generation there is no greater hero than one who laid his life in the name of this great nation. Hence Sir, I salute you. You are the real Star, Vande mataram.

Thanks

what do you really want

let me ask you a small question ...
what you dont have ? think..like right now .. what do you think that you
do not have ..
ipod.. car ... home ...a girl friend .. a wife ..a raise..

ok fair enough .. now tell me what do you want from life
now you'll say what stupid ..
i want ipod.. car ... home ...a girl friend .. a wife ..a raise..

again fair enough ...

now tell me what you thought u did not have...
say when you passed out college
you wanted a job .. you wanted some money .. you wanted ..

boss ... you have a job now... you have some money .. then why something
is missing... why you are not as happy as you thought you would be


people its not always about what you dont have its more about what you want ..
and surprisingly these two are not the same ...
there are so many things you dont have .. but someday will come
when you will have most of them and..
they wont still make you happy

its about deciding what you want and not..
crying about what you dont have
so think before next time when you say
if only i had this car ... this bike .. this ..
the question is do you really want that car .. that bike

what do you want from life ....
dont spend your life just thinking about .. uff i dont have this and i dont have that
some day will come ... when u''ll have all thiss and thats ... and suddenly
you'll feel " is this what i really wanted ? for this .. have i spent all my life ?"

meri kavita ...jab bijli chali jaatin hain ....

yesterday lights suddenly went off at my office everything just came to a standstill but this time was well spent ... read on .. hope you like it


Aaj hamare DC mein light chali gayi
PC band , AC band .. uff jaan nikal gayi

kaafi der jab 'bijli' waapas nahi aayi
kisi ko window ki yaad aayi
window khuli.. thandi hawa se pura floor bhar gaya
ye hawa..jo..roj chalti hai .....


elevators nahi chal rahi thi
kuch logon ko stairs bhi dhundni padi
aare ... stairs se toh jaldi pahuncha deti hain
haan ye such hai..
and ye stairs baaki days pe bhi yahi hoti hain


aur maine kya kiya ...
maine usse dekha jo khidki se bahar dekh rahi thi
woh haansi ... achi dikhti hai yaar...
haan bhai.. woh roj hi achi dikhti hai ....

she asked ... walk ? ..
maine kaha haan chalo ..
we talked and talked ..
'project','dart','java','validations',
'no issues','mail','reply' in words ke bina
bhi kaafi saari baaein ho sakti hai doston..
by the way ..
..she has chin dimple..when she laughs that is

tumhara favorite actor kaun hai .. mera shah rukh ..she said
maine kaha mera bhi ....
she asked really ? kyon ?
i said nahi tum hi bataao .. (saala fus gaya )
aur .. actress ..usne puchcha
sharmila tagore ... i said. she said ..
aare but she is so old ...
maine kaha aarey pura to suno..
sharmila tagore ..ki.. beti soha ali khan ..
she said "auh.. very funny" (girls say that a lot hai naa!)

6 baj gaye ...she said ab ghar hi nikal jaatin hoon
but no... light villian banke wapas aa gayi ..
i said .. ab kya... kaam ?
she said haan aur kya ...
hum wapas nikle ...
kuch log ghar bhag rahe the..
ek ne chalte chalte .. apne pm se phone pe kaha ..
sir ab toh main ..
bus mein baith gaya hoon and woh chal padi hai ..
will send that doc tomorrow ...
we looked at each other .. she laughed again .. her dimple ..

toh .. hum pahunch gaye apne apne cubicle
saarein log toh bhaag gaye the
aur hum donone ....
apna apna kaam karna chalu kiya …
actoronki dunia se hum 'no issues' ki
duniya mein aa gaye ..
mails and messanger and documents and POC and ....


ab 8 baj gaye..chalo ghar jaana hai
maine duur ka rasta liya ... uske cubicle ke baaju wala
woh abhi baithi hai .. i smiled.. she smiled back..
gettin late haan ? i said nahi .. abhi time hai..
haan baaaaaas.. ye ek mail ...she said
pressed control + enter ..
done ! she said ...

We took the stairs ..
yaar sahi mein stairs jaldi pahunchaati hai (kyon !!)
we walked towards the gate
she said aarey meri bus..
bye ... she said ...
and said.. see you tomorrow
sure...i said

kal log puchenge ye light kyon gayi
and mein puchunga yaar ye light
baar baar kyon nahi jaati...

maana ke light roj nahi jaatin hai
per khidki se baahar dekhne mein kya harz hai
khuli saas lene mein kya harz hai
lift mein saamnewaale ke id pe employee id dekhne se acha

Usko ko haske 'hi..' to keh hi sakte hai
forwards toh bahut bhejte hai ..
koi personal si mail bhejne mein kya harz hai ...

Kyonki doston…light jaayen yaa naa jaayein

Ye hawa to roj hi chalti hain

saaamne wale cubicle ki ladki…. roj hi sunder dikhti hai ©nikhil purwant
