TV characters and me!

Instead of taking the facebook quizzes on this topic, here is my take on the various TV serials I like and the character I relate to most in each of them.

1. F.R.I.E.N.D.S - Chandler Bing! No doubt about it! This guy has an amazing sense of humor. He is bored with routine but still sticks with it for quite a while before he eventually leaps into the creative world of advertising! And when it comes to girls, he is terrible (until he finds Monica!)

2. Seinfeld - Cosmo Kramer! The man who has stories for each and every occasion. And who else can match his craziness :)

3. How I met your mother - Ted Mosbey [I wish I could say Barney :(] . Well, he is an architect which is a creative profession. And although he has an amazing time with his friends, he still feels the void because of that missing special one! :)

4. House MD - No one! The closest match will be Gregory House. Bored by mundane, he is always looking out for interesting work. And he always stands tall for what he thinks is right.

5. The big bang theory - Sheldon! Apart from his main research work, he always sticks firmly to his routine when it comes to even small matters in his geeky life. Unable to filter out sarcasm, he always takes the words literally.

Totally unrelated to the main topic, I need new TV serials to fill my time on this planet. Any suggestions?

Ajj din chadheya..

This song has pretty much filled my this weekend. It is from the movie "Love Aaj kal".

Amazing lyrics! A Deewana asking god for the love of his life in the most demanding way! And the singer Rahat Fateh Ali khan has done full justice to the lyrics.

Here are the lyrics. And I love the lines in bold...
Ajj din chadheya
Tere rang varga
Phul sa hai khila aaj din

Rabba mere din yeh na dhale
Woh jo mujhe khwab mein mile
Use tu lagade ab gale
Tenu dil da vaasta

Rabba aaya dar digaar ke
Sara jahan chod chaad ke
Mere sapne sawar de
Tenu dil da vasta

Baksha gunaho ko
Sun ke duwao ko
Rabba pyaar hai
Tune sab ko hi de diya
Meri bhi aahon ko
Sun le duwao ko
Mujhko woh dila maine jisko hai dil diya

Aasmaan pe aasmaan uske de itna bata
Woh jo mujhko dekh ke hase
Pana chahun raat din jise
Rabba mere naam kar use
Tenu dil da vasta


(Maanga jo mera hai
Jaata kya tera hai
Maine kaun si tujhse jannat maang li
Kaisa khuda hai tu
Bas naam ka hai tu
Rabba jo teri itni si bhi na chali
) - 2

Chahiye jo mujhe
Kar de tu mujhko ata
Jeeti rahe saltanat teri
Jeeti rahe ashiqui meri
Dede mujhe zindagi meri
Tenu dil da vasta

Moments..

Life is a series of rooms: school(s), junior college, college(s), work offices, so-called settling after marriage. When you enter a new room, you meet new people. Some of them become your friends. You laugh with them. dance with them. sing songs on a public street at 1 AM. motivate them. listen to them. talk to them. share your joy. share your sorrow. share your dreams. You care for them. And you are happy that you belong to this small world within your room.

But sooner or later, life tells you or your friends to leave this room. You say your good byes. You promise to keep in touch. But as time passes by, dust starts settling on the promises. In most cases, the frequent e-mails, IRC chats or even the once an year birthday call disappears. More or less, you end up as an e-mail contact in the address book and messenger list or nowadays as a connection on so many social networks.

And the only thing that's left untouched are the wonderful memories they have created in your life. The moments you had on the journey to each milestone in your life.

And each time the room switch happens, the same cycle continues.....

Secret Seven


Number of wonders in this world : Seven
Number of sins recognized by the church : Seven
Number of notes of scale in Indian music : Seven
Number of senses in human beings that have been talked about : Six
Ooops..an anamoly! Let me rectify it..
Number of senses the Secret Seven members have : SEVEN!
Want to know which is the seventh one. Continue reading this description of Secret Seven..

The big bang theory states that this universe came into existence at a definite moment in time, some 13 billion years ago in the form of a superhot, superdense fireball of energetic radiation. Our group has come into existence roughly some 13 billion years after the universe was born. And all it needed to born was an e-mail invitation for a fun trip to Wonderla :P.

The tag line of our group is Nothing secret about us. In order to justify that, here is a short description of each of us:

1. Sridevi Aishwariya : The girl who was blessed with a name comprising of names of two most beautiful women in Bollywood. Ironically, this self-proclaimed stylish babe was blessed with beauty of none of the two :P. Wondering why her name is the first! Well she sent that e-mail I mentioned earlier.

2. Dharmendra Kumar : The Singer, The Thinker, The Philosopher! Yet he has the sanest mind among us. Nicknamed SDK (Saint Dharmendra Kumar) or DG( Dharam Garam), this angry young man has a vital role in the group. He sits next to the driver in each trip to make sure the driver does not run away because of our seventh sense talks :). He also sits next to top management in office and makes sure none of us get fired by putting a good word for us each time. Did I mention his DJ skills on the car radio/mp3 player?

3. Sandeep Akula : The telugu style icon and future crorepati of our group. And he has secured that future by being born a telugu gult! Apart from this fact, Kuch kaaas nahi hai. His natural photos are the talk of the Gult town.

4. Jaideep Jeyakar : or u can call him J. Describing this guy in short is a very tall challenge. The geeky all-rounder : Swimming, Guitar, Puzzles..name any activity in this world and he is bad at it :P.

5. Sudeshna Sarkar : An extremely silent and mild person who talks and keeps talking..and keeps talking whole day. This girl(kid?) is our eyes and ears in the outside world (read as world other than secret seven). The recent news says that she is developing a liking for rock music esp. Guns and roses, Metallica, Goo goo dolls, etc. etc.

6. Harini Rajagopal : Being a 2BHK owner in Bangalore, we can say this girl has the best investment plan going on ;). She adores wild life esp. leeches and fish. Her primary job is the referee role in Tom and Jerry fights.

7. Sumit Sorde : That's me! An awesome guy with an excellent work-life balance (He doesn't have a life :P). He is good at using any software other than the one on which he has been working on for 3 years now. For more information please read the comments section (if this post gets any!).

Still wondering about what the seventh sense is? Here's your answer....

Oh wait! I just realized that nobody visits this blog. So keep visiting for the answer :P

PS : The answer is not 42 :)
