Killing Green!

A world running smoke and sound,
Burning woods and eliminating nature.

Looking like an achievement for mankind,
Infesting the same roots beneath.

Unaware we roar towards development,
Industrialization, chemicals and filth we produce.

Nature begs to save her but we fail to listen,
Her wrath when she unveils, we find it unjust.

We can’t see destruction, we can’t see suffering,
Yet we fail to understand the clear facts in metaphor.

A massive slaughter of nature, uncontrolled massacre,
Turning a blind eye to green and looking for gold.

Gold does fade to black; Green still remains the same.
Knowing the correct but still option for the incorrect.

Redeemers by birth, destroyers as we grow,
Called immature at birth or are we now?

Kaun Dum?

Kaun Dum. I’m sure most of you read this and stopped and said ‘Hai daiyaa’. Yes, we all do it. A taboo word. But, I do remember this word wasn’t used that often unless recently. With the increasing number of condom ad’s one needs to make sure to keep the remote in the hand while watching any family program- even cartoon network. Why?

It was 10:30pm and time for supper, nevertheless, time for Naa Aana Iss Desh Laddoah. (I don’t f**g know how its written! Spell check also does not work). After a lot of protest from my end to watch some better shit, majority decided to stick to Naa….Ladooah. So, the serial started. It was dumb, pre-dick-table, and definitely affected my taste buds. Soon, I was tamed when I realized it was the commercial break. We all had our hands colored with chicken curry and rice. All were glued to the TV even during the commercial break. And then the unthinking able happened.

One guy making out with a girl. Fantastic- just what I wanted to watch, but not with family. But, trust me guys this Moods ad was a boom to me. After all I could blog about it. When the advertisement flashed here are the reactions of my family members-

Dad- Stopped chewing his food. Eyes got bigger than ever. I could feel him saying- “My kids will get spoiled.” Kids aged: 21+. Spoiled?
Mom- Looking at the altar wondering where the world is heading. The end is near.
Elder Sister: Where is the remote? Where is the remote?
Elder Sister 2: Huh? What is this advertisement about?
Calvin: Once more! Once more!

But, my joy was short lived. The ad was over. Everybody was back to their normal mode. But, not for long. Why? Read this- “Kal raat savdhani nahi barti…” ROFL…iPill ad. So an advise for all my conservative family-wala friends. Keep the remote always in hand. You never know what this saas-bahu serials are turning us into. Till the next goof-up, here’s Calvin signing off.

Happiness

A feeling to live,
A feeling worth to die for.

A feeling we want,
A feeling for which we pursuit.

A feeling often short-lived,
A feeling we long for.

A feeling found in your mother,
A feeling found in your brother.

A feeling which cannot be bought,
A feeling which can always be given.

A feeling to smile,
A feeling that makes pain disappear.

A feeling that fails to see money,
A feeling that sees the heart.

A feeling coupled with peace and love,
A feeling I want to live in forever.

A feeling where I can be careless,
A feeling called..............Happiness.

The Lady...

As I walk the street,
Sits a lady in ragged clothes.

Nothing to give,
Accepting everything we give.

Quiet under her saree cover,
The only saree she has.

She does not know her future,
Her present also un-certain.

Manages to thank every time she receives,
A humble smile on her face.

People around her hurry for work,
With bruised fingers and battered clothes she sits.

As I walk towards her I feel a realization,
I feel life is so extraordinary.

Count the things I crib about,
Run out of numbers when I count the blessings.

I compare what I have,
I look at myself for a test.

A beautiful home, a table to fill,
Dad, mom and two darling sisters.

A circle of friends, who I can’t count,
But, who I can count on.

Luxury or need it’s fulfilled,
Monetary gains not, greed is not,

I look above, I thank HIM,
I see the mercy showered from above.

I reach home after a days of work.
Lay my head in a chilling environment.

I thank the Lord for the day,
I thank the Lord for HIS inspiration- The Lady.

HIM and I

Watching the moon,
Stars shine bright.

The darkness present,
The light stronger thou.

I’m a sinner, a destroyer,
But the Lord above shows His mercy.

The light in the darkness,
Displays His impartial love.

I have a friend,
I have a Savior.

A sacrifice so clear,
A sacrifice that cannot be compared.

A sacrifice a Father made,
A Son for His people, a son for a Mother.

On the cross hangs a Man,
Heavy with the sins of the world.

A journey that will live for ages,
A journey that washed me clean.

Can’t predict the future, the past was cruel,
But, the cross radiates His power.

I’m not a saint, I’m not a sinner,
Jesus, please accept me a slave.

Superheroes!

Superheroes?
Wondered the other day,

Walked a distance to find myself,
To solve this mystery I walked the streets…

As I walked down,
I seen a father taking his child to meet his grandpa…

As I walked down,
I seen a guy taking roses for his love….

As I walked down,
I seen a guy sharing his food with a stranger….

As I walked down,
I seen a friend cheer his pal to make him smile….

As I walked down,
I seen a mother rushing to get into the train to meet her kid….

As I walked down,
I saw a rich man giving alms to a beggar….

As I walked down,
I seen a stranger guiding another to a destination…..

As I walked down,
I seen a sister buying her brother a birthday gift….

As I walked down,
I seen a brother reconcile with his brother…

As I walked down,
I seen a guy heading for his first day at work…

I returned home,
I stayed and thought about the thought….

Superheroes? I said to myself……
Indeed they exist.

Aag!

Hey people, this is yet another fun post I could not stop myself from writing. This is all about how movies were in the 90’s. Recently, I got a wonderful opportunity to go to Baroda to conduct a training session. After a day long session, I headed to the hotel for some rest. This is where this post begins. Garam panni sey nahaney key baad, I switched on for some entertainment. Source: apna purana TV. After channel surfing and watching Aasta pey baba ka prawachan and PTC Punjabi pey thoda bhangra, I decided to settle for some prolonged entertainment.

Set Max, 90’s movie print, Govinda and Sonali Bendre. What else could I ask for? I knew I was in for some great entertainment. I became sure when the villain of the movie was Shakti Kapoor, (Aooooohhhhh!). Thou I started watching the movies half way thru, I could gauge what was happening. Hero ki ek behen, heroine ka ek bhai, ek corrupt horny inspector; no prizes for guessing apna Shakti Kapoor. Instead of describing the entire movie, I’ll tell you about a song fromm the movie.


Govinda whose name is Raju (How innovative!), Bendre whose name is Paroooo (ha ha ha ha), is liked by the lustful eyes of Shakti Kapoor (Surya Dev Singh). Bendre has an evil mama (uncle) who is called Mama through out the movie. He hates Bendre and her brother who is now dead. Confused? Me too yaar. So the scene is Bendre brother is dead and her Uncle is not supportive about taking the body home. Still wondering about the song where it can be placed? Keep reading, keep reading. He wants the morgue authorities to burn the body in the electricity ka bhatti. I was like WTF? Abey tu kya pagal ho gaya hai kya. But, with no time to waste, apna Raju lands at the morgue. Why? He has to save somebody who is already dead. But, apna Raju saves the day. He takes the body and Bendre too. Waaah! Macho haan.



Day 2. Shakti Kapoor is all pissed off with Govinda saving Bendre. But, Shakti Kapoor ek rapist hi nahi bakey ek corrupt police inspector bhi hai. So, all alone he reaches where apna Govinda and Bendre. Apna local couple studies in the same college. When Shakti is dragging Bendre, Boom! Raju all dressed in checked shirt, which has a purple t-shirt and a bunch of pals with mullets and high-rise pants and white Action sports shoes shows up. He pulls Paroo towards himself and Shakti Kapoor kay ahkoon key samney Paroo smooches, I repeat smooches Raju. Lucky little ba****d.

Can you guess what happens next? Song! Song! I was like ha ha ha ha ha. Abey ha ha ha ha. This was an extreme case scenario. Achanak song chalo. The lyrics go something like, “Jab majnoo merrey saath, tho bech mein kya karega karela?” Ha ha ha. The whole fuc**in song has such euphemistic statements. To add on, Raju’s mullet-ted friends danced all thru the song and backed him in mocking Shakti Kapoor. The whole sequence was so funny; I could not stop my ass of. To end this post, I must say, Govinda is the best. Reason he managed to get me hooked to the movie for more than half of it. Too good Raju.
