Wine and Other fantasies

This is a blackout poem. I took it from a article on wines from a magazine.



The wine in the bottle, it's aromas and character,champagne.

Each bottle carefully rotated.

The neck dipped in an ice cold solution, then the cap opened, the " dosage" aged in the bottle for 20 years.

If you think that sounds complicate, there's more.

Buy a bottle of non-vintage champagne( the normal kind) you expect it to taste the same as a bottle of grapes

So how is the skill of the wine-maker?
Each year, he makes wine relying on wines stored in the cellar and then,

To create an expensive surprise, I visited Moe.

What struck me most was how he had become a big boy.

Moe makes millions of French lovers.

which is perfectly acceptable.

at a party.

On the other hand i was impressed by Charles the 8th

I enjoyed Charles

He was excellent

Anna Hazare - the spiderman

This is a black out poem taken from article from Mid day. Hope you like it.

While the Khans were Burkha clad
And the government didnt want to grow up
As the sheets spoke the truth
It was time for the freindly neighbourhood

Dabba waalas clinked
While the azad clanked
Change was in the making
As an opinion now clanked

The lokpal is unstopabble
Corruption climbed atop
We were just a meter away
From entering the
Limca book of world records

Who says I m not a superhero? I am the PJman..really?

Once I was sitting in my room sipping coffee and watching Spiderman on television. I was impressed by the way the character Spiderman was portrayed in the film. Looking at that I also wished to be Spiderman. I liked the way he could jump he could fly and everything he could do. From the next day I started the search for spiders in my home. I found a few but no one was ready to bite me. I felt so bad about it that I almost went into depression. I wanted to save someone with my super powers but I dint have one.

I felt disgusted with my life. I started cursing myself. I started looking into my old pictures. After some time I discovered I have a super power in me which I never noticed. I had a super power in which where ever I go I make other people smile. I made all my friends smile whenever they were depressed. I thought of making this my identity. I changed my name into PJMAN.

As it is said when you wish for something whole heartedly, the entire universe helps you to achieve it and so I became the PJMAN. I got my attire stitched by my mom. I was all set to spread happiness around the world. But then Mumbai encountered serial bomb blasts where thousands of people died and got injured. This was the right time to show my super power. Going out in that attire was not the right thing to do. So I kept my clothes in and went as a normal person. I tried to help everyone possible by doing simple things like giving them water.

That day I realized that attire doesn’t matter. Super heroes are not superheroes because of the the superpowers they have. They are superheroes because they have that superpower in the heart which helps them to help others. I understood the fact that PJMAN is just a name but it is my heart that makes me PJMAN. So to be a Superhero one doesn’t needs an attire, he just needs the will to be a superhero.

A totally different world!

Last year I took the most weirdest decision of my life. I joined a course which was never for me. I joined almost two months after the course began. I entered the class and looked around. I figured that I was at the wrong place. The people around me hated me and some still do. But no one ever showed that. I knew that I have to survive this course.

For the first couple of months I never spoke to anyone because I did not join the course to bond with anyone. There were many rumors about me. So that was one more factor why I dint feel like talking to people. But then people started approaching me. I wondered why. Then I came to know there was one more rumor about me. But then it was too late for me to know because by then I started interacting with people and for me as a person it is difficult to just stop talking to people. I decided that I will let it go.

I found many interesting people. I liked their company. Had many fights. Had lots of good time. Had many weird moments. Saw strangers becoming very good friends. I still sit and think everyday how I became a part of that course when I was not at all interested in it. The people who I thought had lots of attitude had become my very good friends in no time. My perception about people had to change. But I was shocked because whatever I thought about the people they were just the opposite.

So for me this was a totally different world. My childhood dreams were very blur but it got sharpened because of the people in the course. So for me the different world is because of the people who became very close to me. I stepped into a totally different world but I survived only because of them. Thanks to the people who helped me survive!!

<3 to all of them :)

Expect The Unexpected!!

I was in my most important year of the school that is my tenth standard. Board examinations were on my head. Two weeks left for the boards. But for me there was one day which had more importance than anything else in my life. It was the Valentine’s Day and I was obviously dating that time.

I was very excited about the 14th of February. I wanted to make that Valentine’s Day very special. So I planned to surprise her (people do not try this at home). My dad had a car. I did not know how to drive. I had something around two or three grand in my wallet. So I thought of picking her up from her place and going to a club.

I called my friend to drive the car. Everything was sorted. But there were only two problems. 1) My girl didn’t know that I was planning something. 2) My Dad didn’t know that I wanted the car. Other than these two problems everything was sorted.

I called my girl and told her to be awake till 1.30 am because I have a surprise for her but I did not tell her what was the surprise. I slept at 11 on the 13th of February. Actually I never slept I acted as if I am sleeping. I was waiting for my family to sleep. My family went to sleep by 12.30. I waited for fifteen more minutes for safety reasons. I went to my Dad’s room grabbed the keys for my car and called my friend to drive.

I was very happy because one of the problem was sorted. I managed to escape. Then I reached my girlfriends place. I called her up. She picked up. I asked her what is she doing. She said that she is studying. I said okay come down. She called me upstairs. I got excited :P. I went. I wished her Valentine’s Day. She also did the same. Then I revealed the surprise. I got my Dad’s car and I have planned the night for the two of us. Her answer was unexpected. She said she cannot come. I asked why. Her reply was more than unexpected. She said that she cannot come because she had to study for her board examinations and she cannot mess up with her career.

I had no options left other than going back home. But I dint go back. I told my friend you have been a true friend and I will treat you for that. Five minutes after this dialogue my Dad called me up and started asking me about the car. I knew that I am going to get *Beep*ed when I go back home. So I thought I will go round the city. Finish all the cash I have and go back home because anyways I was going to get *Beep*ed.

MORAL : Expect the Unexpected.

What is life??

“What is life?” this is the most constant question you ask yourself. Answers to this question are “Life is a God’s gift.” “Life is to do something.”Etc. But for me life is not a God’s gift. It is not to do something, it is to enjoy and get experiences.
If you take life as God’s gift then you cannot enjoy it. You will care for life and sacrifice your chances to smile and laugh and enjoy your life to the fullest. If you take life as to do something, then again you cannot enjoy. If you care for life, Life won’t care for you.
First I had a thinking that life is a gift and you have to do something in it, then after some bad experiences in life, I was shattered into pieces. I had something stuck in mind as life is gift, I am ruining my life, and I am a waste. Then later I thought about the past experiences and switched on the television. I saw global warming and world coming to an end and questioned myself, “if world comes to an end than what could you do”. It’s better to enjoy the time then just thinking about the past and the future. Thinking about the past will lead to depression and you cannot enjoy your life.
The best way to enjoy life is forget all bad experiences, remember the good experiences and don’t think about the future. According to me one thing that life expects from you is a smiling face and smiling face around you, because you never know when is the world coming to an end. So keep smiling.

Ganpati Bappa Moriya

During the months of August and September we have Ganesh Chaturthi in Maharashtra and India. But I wonder if this is what was in the minds of people who started this festival.

I have heard “Sheela ki Jawani” and “Munni Badnaam hui” playing on the Visarjan day and I couldn’t help it but just stand and stare (to be honest dance with the crowd: P). But later I thought about it. I kept wondering what Ganesh Chaturthi has now become. Is this what we make of Indian culture in the 21st century? Producing loud music and bursting fire crackers, drinking liquor and going for the Visarjan. Is this Ganpati Bappa Moriya? Are these Modaks? Don’t distribute prasads only, instead start giving alcohol away. People also will be happy as it will b money saving for them and your mind will also get the satisfaction in the name of pooja. This is not yet over. What about the POP that we let away in the sea? Indian Ocean will be full of Plaster of Paris and waste if we go on like this.

Initially this festival was organized for get-togethers. It was organized so that the bonding between the Hindus is improved. It was organized by the great ruler of Maharashtra Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaja. It was initiated to promote culture and religion. But first it was only in Maharashtra. But then an Indian freedom fighter named Lokmanya Tilak transformed the annual domestic festival into a large, well organized public event. He wanted to bridge a gap between the Brahmins and non Brahmins and wanted to build unity between them. He was successful that time but he dint know what will happen in future. I somewhere deep inside me hold Lokmanya Tilak responsible for global warming.

Lokmanya Tilak was very successful that time but now this festival has become a competition which is promoting global warming. There are fights between the people during visarjans as in who will go first. Is this actually the purpose of Ganesh Chaturthi?

So now why stop? Let’s pollute and promote global warming!! Let’s say Ganpati Bappa Moriya and say Come early Next year!!
