To Do List

 

Soaring Gas prices - Dont feel bad

Over the weekend, I filled up my car’s fuel tank, and I thought gas has become really expensive after the recent price hike.
 
But then I compared it with other some common liquids we use everyday and did some quick calculations, and I felt a little better.
To know why, see the results below – you’ll be surprised at how outrageous some other prices are! 
 
Petrol (regular unleaded) in Mumbai: Rs. 50.51 per litre
Coca Cola 330 ml can: Rs. 20 = Rs. 61 per litre
Dettol antiseptic 100 ml Rs. 20 = Rs. 200 per litre
Radiator coolant 500 ml Rs. 160 = Rs. 320 per litre
Pantene conditioner 400 ml Rs. 165 = Rs. 413 per litre
Medicinal mouthwash like Listerine 100 ml Rs. 45 = Rs. 450 per litre
Red Bull 150 ml can: Rs. 75 = Rs. 500 per litre
Corex cough syrup 100 ml Rs. 57 = Rs. 570 per litre
Evian water 500 ml Rs. 330 = Rs. 660 per litre!!  Rs. 500 for a litre of WATER???!!!
And the buyers don’t even know the source (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)
Kores whiteout 15 ml Rs. 15 = Rs. 1,000 per litre
Cup of coffee at any decent business hotel 150 ml Rs. 175 = Rs. 1,167 per litre
Old Spice after shave lotion 100 ml Rs. 175 = Rs. 1,750 per litre
Pure almond oil 25 ml Rs. 68 = Rs. 2,720 per litre
 
And this is the REAL KICKER…
HP deskjet colour ink cartridge 21 ml Rs.1900 = Rs. 90,476 per litre !!!!!
Now you know why computer printers are so cheap? they have you hooked for the ink!
So, the next time you’re at the pump, don’t curse our honorable Petroleum minister – just be glad your car doesn’t run on cough syrup, after shave, coffee, or God forbid, printer ink!

Definitions of Love

 ”Love”. The so talked about topic…still the least understood. 

• “Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don’t yell at them because you know it would hurt their feelings.”

• “When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you’re scared they won’t love you anymore. But then you get surprised because not only do they still love you, they love you even more.”

• “You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it.  But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.” 

 

Maa - Taare Zameen Par

 

“Udne ko sau pankh diye hain
chadhne ko khula aasma”

Darsheel Safary as Eshaan Awasthi in Amir khan’ s Directorial Debut film - “Taare Zameen Par” is very impressive. The mischief in his eyes and a determination to throw back at the world the same shit that he experiences is awesome and at times heart wrenching. One of my favorite songs from this movie:

Lyrics:

 

Kabhi Kabhi

 

Kabhi kabhi mere dil main khayal aata hain
Ki zindagi teri zulfon ki narm chhaon main guzarne pati
To sadab ho bhi sakti thi
Yeh ranjho gham ki siyahi jo dil pe chhayi hain
Teri nazar ki suahon main kho bhi sakti thi
Magar yeh ho na saka,
Magar yeh ho na saka aur ab ye aalam hain
Ki tu nahin, tera gham, teri joostjoo bhi nahin
Guzar rahi hain kuchh iss tarah zindagi jaise,

isse kisi ke sahare ki aarzoo bhi nahin
Na koi raah, na manzil, na roshni ka suragh
Bhatak rahin hai andheron main zindagi meri
Inhi andheron main reh jaoonga kabhi kho kar
Main janta hoo meri hum-nafas, magar yoonhi
Kabhi kabhi mere dil main khayal aata hai

********************************
English version:

Often thought comes in my heart
if i have life under shadow of your hair
it would have been more peacefull
the ink of pain and sorrow on my heart
could’ve been lost in your eyes
but it didn’t happen
but it didn’t happen, now life is on verge
that i don’t have you nor sorrow neither hopes
living life without any support/landing hand
no road, no goal, nor way to see light
my life is travelling in darkness
i’m to be lost in darkness someday
i know it’s my love of life, but
often thought comes in my heart

Laloo Prasad Yadav and his fruit tree

Railway Minister Laloo Prasad Yadav’s speech in Parliament :

 

Count your life by moments

 

The true worth of your being
Is much more, than it seems
Your goodwill is contagious
Spreads faster than the gleams

Treading through sands of time
The footprints which you leave
Have led thwarted wanderers
To horizons and to achieve

Count your life by moments
When you put a heart at ease
When you relish in this trivia
Your worries begin to cease

You never get what you want
But always what you need
Love comes when least expected
And never when you plead.
