Yaadein [Jane kaha gaye woh din...]


When Gulli-Danda & Kanche (marbles) were more popular than cricket.When we always had friends to play aais-paais (I Spy), chhepan-chhepai
& pitthoo anytime ... When we desperately
waited for "Yeh Jo Hai
Jindagi
"
(Doordarshan serial)
When chitrahaar, vikram-baitaal, Dada Daadi Ki Kahaniyaan were so
fulfilling.
When there was just one Tv in every five houses and...
When
Bisleris were not sold in the trains and we were worrying if papas will get back
into the train in time or not when they were getting down at stations to fill up
the water bottle ...
When we were going to bed by 9.00pm sharp except for the
"Yeh Jo Hai Jindagi" day
...
When Holis & Diwalis meant mostly hand-made pakwaans and
sweets and moms seeking our help while preparing them ...
When Maths teachers
were not worried of our Mummies and papas while slapping/beating us ...
When
we were exchanging comics and stamps and Chacha-Chaudaris & Billus were our heroes ...
When we were
in Nanihaals every summer and
loved flying kites and plucking and eating unripe mangoes and leechies
...
When one movie every Sunday evening on television was more than asked for
and "ek do teen chaar" and
"Rajani" inspired us ...
When
50 paisa meant at least 10 toffees ...
When left over pages of the last years
notebooks were used for rough work or even fair work ...
When "Chelpark" and "Natraaj" were encouraged against
"Reynolds
& family" ...
When the first rain meant getting drenched and
playing in water and mud and making "kaagaj ki kishtis" ...
When there were
no phones to tell friends that we will be at their homes at six in the evening
...
When our parents always had 15 paise blue colored "Antardesis" and 5 paise machli wale stamps
at home ...
When we remembered tens of jokes and were not finding "ice-cream
& papa" type jokes foolish enough to stop us from laughing ...
When we
were not seeing patakhes on
Diwalis and gulaals on
Holis as air and noise polluting or
allergic agents ...


The list
can be endless ...

On the serious note I would like to
summarize with ...
When we were using our hearts more than our brains, even
for scientifically brainy activities like "thinking" and "deciding" ...
When
we were crying and laughing more often, more openly and more sincerely
...
When we were enjoying our present more than worrying about our future
...
When being emotional was not synonymous to being weak ...
When sharing
worries and happiness didn"t mean getting vulnerable to the listener ...
When
blacks and whites were the favorite colors instead of greys ...
When journeys
also were important and not just the destinations ...
When life was a
passenger"s sleeper giving enough time and opportunity to enjoy the sceneries
from its open and transparent glass windows instead of some super fast"s second
ac with its curtained, closed and dark windows ...
I really miss them(From the bottom of my heart) .. don"t u?

Did you see me rob the bank?


A man burst into a crowded bank, ordered everyone into a corner, and then got his bag filled with packets of money.
 
But instead of running out, he approached the crowd of terrified customers. He picked out one and asked, "Did you see me rob this bank?"

The man replied, "Yes sir, I did."

The robber then shot him in the head, killing him instantly.

He then turned to a couple standing next to him and asked the man, "Did you see me rob this bank?"

"No sir, I sure didn"t," the man said and
sensing an opportunity he then added -- "But my wife did."

Tasty Tea


One day a mother was out and the dad was in charge. He was sitting in living room engrossed in the evening news when their one-and-a-half-year-old son brought Daddy a little cup of ‘tea’, in his toy cup which was just water.

After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, mom came home. Dad made her wait in the living room to watch the toddler bring him a cup of tea, because it was ‘just the cutest thing.’

Mom waited, and sure enough, here comes baby down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up, then says, "Did it ever occur to you that the only place that baby can reach to get water is the toilet?"

Men Vs Women - Again

A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

"House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa."

"Pencil," however, is masculine: "el lapiz."

A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun.

Each group was asked to give four  reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computadora"),

Because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As  soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ("el computador"), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are  supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you  had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

Dedicated to all the smart women..... and all the men that have a good sense of humor!
