Whoa!!!

Boman Irani's son's wedding took place yesterday. Why do I blog about it? Here is my "log" of yesterday night.

I was going for my regular walk after dinner, I was surprised to see a Mercedes near our building's gate. (WTH! They have lights to their side mirrors?) Next I saw a BMW (I love the BMWs more than any other cars), Then I saw two guys standing outside the car in black suits. One of them was familiar. (He looks familiar... This is the guy who appears on MTV or Channel V... Some Cyrus) Oh yea its Cyrus Sahukar! But what was he doing there? Oh yea, there was some Parsi wedding going on at that completely weird place which surrounded by trees all around. I never thought somebody would host a wedding at such place. As kids we used to call it Bhoot Bangla considering the fact that I never saw anyone going in or coming out of the place and there used to be hardly any light there. As we went ahead to the main road, I saw a line of cars parked. There were BMWs, Audis, I even saw a Porche. (What the hell is going on?? Who is getting married?) I decided that, since there was too much traffic ahead, I would head back to home. But Mayu told me that we should check out what was happening there. While we were crossing the road, we heard loud roar ahead. As we went ahead, we heard people shouting "Aamir Khan". Unfortunately, by the time we reached there he had already entered the hall. We waited for some more time. And the wait was worth it, as we saw Ritesh Deshmukh, Ranveer Shauri (Whats up with that weird beard?), Sonakshi Sinha (Whoa!! She is tall!), Jackie Shroff, Subhash Ghai (They still travel together?), Ameesha Patel, Juhi Chawla, R. Madhavan. As it was getting late, we returned back, but the cheers kept getting louder and louder as I could hear them at my home. It was only today that I checked TOI website (where else you could find it), that I came to know that it was Boman Irani's son's wedding (That connects Parsi part)!!

Raja Shivchhatrapati Lyrics

इंद्र जिमि जंभ पर… बाडव सुअंभ पर… रावण सदंभ पर… रघुकुलराज है ! पौन बारिबाह पर… संभु रतिनाह पर… ज्यों सहसबाह पर… राम द्विजराज है ! उदरात माउली… रयतेस साउली… गडकोट राउळी… शिवशंकर हा मुक्तीची मंत्रणा… युक्तीची यंत्रणा… खल दुष्टदुर्जना… प्रलयंकर हा संतास रक्षितो… शत्रू निखंदतो… भावंडभावना… संस्थापितो ऐसा युगेयुगे… स्मरणीय सर्वदा… माता-पिता-सखा… शिवभूप तो दावा दृमदंड पर… चीता मृगझुंड पर… भूषन वितुंड पर… जैसे मृगराज है ! तेज तम‍ अंस पर… कान्ह जिमि कंस पर… त्यों मलिच्छ बंस पर… सेर सिवराज है ! जय भवानी, जय शिवाजी !   Thanks to Nik for sending this.

कुछ बिखरे सपने और आँखों में नमी है, एक छोटा सा आसमां और उम्मीन्दों की ज़मीं है, यूँ तो बहुत दोस्त है ज़िन्दगी मैं, पर जो खास है वाही पास नहीं है ....................

Marathi Manoos

I read the following article in Mint yesterday. http://www.livemint.com/Articles/2010/02/19213129/The-Thackerays8217-primitiv.html I was shocked by the bias shown by the author against the Marathis. I completely agreed with him when he talks about Sena. Both Shivsena and MNS have done more damage to Marathis than they have helped. Their methods have been of violence and oppression. May it be Shiv Sena’s reaction to racists attacks in Australia or the MNIK controversy, common man is the one who usually suffers. But the author then checks the list of 30 companies in BSE and 50 in NSE, to prove that there are no Marathi person “owning” a company and goes on to say - “ The Mumbai Marathi, better at renaming things than building something himself”. Then he says - If we observe Marathi society we notice the total absence of mercantile castes. Into this space the British imported the multi-religious trading community of Surat—Vohra, Khoja, Luhana, Memon, Jain, Parsi and Vaniya. The...
