Operations

Operation

Hi don’t be scared by seeing the title....operation..i was referring to something else....
Have you ever wonderd about the name of military operations.....operation bluestar, desertfox, dinner out..operation Golden Reason.... boys have always sort of fascination about military, commandos,soliders  etc...so i am...fond  of commando movie and those type of stunts.. girls too are fans of such adventure...i have friend whom we call commando....as she likes military things...
So we enjoyed these action movies , being fasicanted by  names of military operations...we used that in funny way..in our daily life...  well having a name for a military operation has lot of importance and significance...very similar to choosing a product name....you can google if you want....
Before i should share you  what were our operation names....
i would just like to tell u in a  line or two about...my recent trip to west coast of karnataka.....certainly what i felt is...
After surviving western ghats, national highway 63, the heavy rain, zero basic amenity , 0.2 % city luxuary.... -  banglore traffic, hectic life, work life pressure...etc..sounded  no big deal...lets talk about this operation western ghat some other time...or better you guys give it a try..
Hmmm...
You have list of task to be accomplished in a day,...Go to Jayanagar , collect an ayrvedic medicine for grandpa,Meet a relative at basavangudi.., go to marathalli for seeing a house to rent.
Meet your friend at basveshwar nagar for some finance, go to majestic send a courier
Go to bank for some work etc etc..so you got to do  N number of things with N number of people in N places..IN ONE DAY !! ( probably a Sunday )..so we called this OPERATION HYDERABAD ...
Got tones of clothes to wash , which you have not done in last 2 months – operation DHO DAAL
Attending an Objective Test exam without preparation – Operation GOLIBAAR – Go on rounding answer in random ;)
Its month end , no money , search all the pockets for money – Operation JACKPOT ;)
All hotels are closed because of some strike, and you are hungry  - Mission Maggy !
You have not prepared for an exam and just copying from your next desk guy – Operation MIROR IMAGE

PLATE CHANGE !

The other day after seeing 3 idiots... ya the movie re winded the college memories...lets not talk about movie review i know you guys liked the movie a lot.... All is well... as we 3 of roommates where the similar idiots...
we used to enjoy travel in very funny ways...so here they are..

Sitting next to each other..we used to talk like strangers...( ok we are not!, we tolerated each other in one room for 3 years...Anand mere bed pe towel phek tha tha... ;, roz subh mera alaaram prasanna band kar tha , Prasnna ka exam tension Anand le tha tha.. ).

So funny ideas of enjoying travel -

#1 – Start talking to your fellow as if you both are strangers...... let the ppl keep guessing where this conversation is heading !! Me and my sis..play this game a lot

#2 – Talk in lakhs and crores to each other – say i have investment this much...or simply...Until the work is done i cant paas your bill man let it be 7 lakh.... ppl would defently be looking asontished at you if you try this... You can even try this like - CM or Some minister is your mama, or as if he is in your pocket..... he he he he he...

#3 – This time you are sitting next to a stranger – you are in no mood for conversation , just want to keep gazing thru the window...but the fellow passenger not letting you do that...

Where are you going..? Where you from ? what are you doing ? where is your house ? How much do u earn..? you have any relatives there? which is your native....? are you interested in that ..this....

Boy ...!, you may not have answered these to your self !!...but Mr.Fellow Passenger ..they can be Miss or Mrs also... in these case what i usually do is....i just give wings to my imagination..

Though i am a software engineer... i don’t like much to mention it .....

So i start answering ( best of my lies ;) )

What are you doing ?
I am business man ( dint you love to be a businessman ? ) sometimes i say i am teacher..etc etc etc... but don’t say doctor ok if you are not one...cos that can lead to situations sometimes.

where is your house ?
Near post office – every town has a post office , so u don’t need to bother about telling him or her the real address ;), police station, ambedkar circle, Mahtma Gandhi circle,near Govt hospital every town has one rite .

How much do u earn..?
Give a number below his or her expectation ... the person will defeintly loose intrest in talking to you :D.
you have any relatives there?
No, i am on business here.... well you can go on with this imagination if you enjoy it...

An incident i remember...with myself... “PLATE CHANGE”

Some how me and my passenger ( aged around 50) got in to a conversation....and it circled around police, traffic police, corruption...being a tax payer...i started blaming cops,traffic cops, they are like that they are like this, they are bad, Unnesroy fines, irresponsive ,irresponsible..etc etc don’t you enjoy blaming bad cops, corrupt politicians....? Similarly i was doing the same...

After a while.. i asked him what are you doing sir....? He politely took an ID card from his pocket and showed it to me .. it red “ Superintendent of police Crime branch” aka Guptchar Vibhaga...

My next dialogue was “ you know sir there are good police men...but its the system”, i started praising them ....he he he he , Thus i call it a PLATE CHANGE...so be carefull next time 

Wish me a good luck !

#4 –Tie up all your luggage and go to sleep... 

#5 – Start translating a kannada song in English... My personal Favourite – Simply Feelingoooooo

haage summane from mungaru male.. Courtesy - “porki aka Ravindra my college mate”
Or vice versa English to kannada or hindhi...which ever way u like it..
Otherwise convert an old mohmed rafi song to a Rock on one .... Devdas my colleague is an expert of this...
Well this is not to spoil music,or language or lyrics...pardon me..if you dint like this..

#6 – Share your seat with a kid and make him/her laugh , or listen to his stories .

Got to go – will add more ideas to this later..you guys please share yours ! & enjoy.

All is well , GN.

Geetopadesha

This is my one of those blogs i am writing sitting next to a window seat of Rani chennam Train..


Ab sleeper confim nahi hua RAC ke seat pe bet ke sona impossible..

Well RAC – means - Reservation aganist canclelation - hmm.. dint understand this ? ....dont worry i too dint.... but some how i don’t like travelling in train....so am coming back to bus... 

I call buses as wind tunnels bogis... cos you should do a night journey in Poona banglore higway or say any high way...like nice road...., where buses shoot themselves in to dark and the gushing wind..

Its a fun watching outside the window at that time...., while i was enjoying this experience in one of my trip back home.... i had a chance to listen some Geetopadesh

Here it goes...it was 1 o clock at midnight near ChitraDurga ...when two men sitting adjacent started quarrelling

P1 – Close the window.... its chilling cold.

P2 – What ? its so hot

P1 – Man i am dyeing of chill ! close the window

P2 – Its sweating here , i cant breath , i will die if i close the window...

The argument went on went on...and on.... others started getting irritated as their sleep got disturbed.....

Suddenly a an old aged man stoop – with elegance - From his dressing we could make out he is a religious person...or swamiji kind of...

Looked at everyone and then looked at these two.. and told....in loud and jolly manner...

“Sons, let me give you a little Geetopadesha...”

Close the window – let one die of sweat and heat

Open the window – Let the other die of Chill and cold

So that we can travel to our destinations Calmly !!!

Both P1 and P2 sat quietly thru out the journey...leaving the window to itself...
