Friends

Last one month has been a small reunion of its kind for me. I met so many of my VJComps friends, Vishal Gaikwad and Sagar Bhogale- my old school friends also called me and we talked after so many years.
It all started with JMET when many of VJComps had IIT, Mumbai as an exam center. Madhav had arrived 2 days earlier, and I thought it was the best time to meet him. On that day, I met Sidscope, Maddy, KK, Lovesh, Prashant, Rahul, TD and Meshram. We went to restaurant at Huma Adlabs and man it was costly!!! I had never paid Rs. 350 on Lunch for a single person in my whole life and mostly will not. To talk about Maddy, he hasn't changed much. His patent "big laughter" is still there!!!
Then came Piu. She had time on a weekday and I had some work at CTS, so we decieded to meet. This time, she had also invited Nishant, Achin, Madhu, Maddy, Silly and Arun(whom I could not meet since I left early). Not much change in Piu either.
Then came XAT on 4th Jan. I e-mailed Vikrant, Shailesh, Mugdha and some others in Mumbai to meet me after XAT. It was nice surprise that all the US people whom I asked did come. XAT was business as usual, one more entrance in a list of so many exams. Afterwards, all the Mumbai people (read - Meshram, Madhu and TD) who were in the same center "ditched" me to go along with their "other" friends. Shail was coming in half an hour, so I decied to take round of VJTI before I go to our meeting place. Fortunately, Shail and Vikrant arrived before time and it was fun talking with them. We went to "Garnish" for lunch, where we were joined by Sidscope, TD, Dhiren, Madhu and KK. In KK's language "Maja aa Gayee!!!!" From there, we went to VJTI, spent some time in the "Quad". Mugdha and Maddy joined in soon and we decided to eat some "Chat" to the place near Kapol Nivas. After Madhua and TD left, we headed to CCD near VJTI, that was just the third time I have gone there, even though I have been in VJTI for 4 years(first time with Maddy and others in 2 nd year and then with Jeetu and Sawant). Finally, at around 7, I thought it was time for me to leave to study for yet another entrance exam :) About the four US-returned people I met, not much change in their nature really. There all are still the same. I always admired the "Mudstuds" and their friendship. Honestly, I would pay to see Shail and Vikrant flirting with gals like the way they did in CCD(did I say little too much there or was it just exaggeration???). They simply hillarious, more like Chandler and Joey. Vikrant was visibly looking fatter, though he wasn't agreeing with others. Dhiren didn't talk much as he was in a hurry. Mugdha was certainly looking "different" with the "straightened" hair.
Next week, I had to go to Thakur College, Kadivali for FMS. So came the meeting with Harshad Telang. This time it was restricted to 4 of us, Harshad, Sachendra, Sidscope and myself. Harshad has followed his brothers footsteps in his career, whether its School, Junior College, Engineering College or US university. And when it came to job, how can one expect it to be different :) Even he is placed in Amazon like his big bro.
In the meanwhile I didn't meet my school friends, except for surprise visit to Nik's place. I would like to thank Vrushali, his sister for "keeping an eye" on him, so that I could give him a "surprise".
All in all, last year this period was marked with calling my friends, and this year it was actually meeting them after college. Hope we keep meeting regularly :)

My favorite Dialogue : Vegeta's Respect

I wanted to publish this since long time, but always postponed it, waiting for the right time. Well actually it is not a dialogue, since only one person is speaking.  This dialogue is from my favorite Cartoon serial DragonballZ and is spoken by my favorite character Vegeta . The scene is in the climax of the serial, in one of the final episodes. To give you an idea why I like it, let me give you some idea about DragonballZ . The characters Goku and Vegeta are one of the most important characters in the series. Goku, the protagonist, who is actually an alien from a planet called Vegeta and is one of the last of his race Saiyan . But unlike the Saiyans who are naturally aggressive, fight-loving, brutal, strongest warriors in the world, he is very calm, naive. He hates to be a Saiyan, when he realizes that he belongs to such a killing race. According to his blood line and roots on planet Vegeta, he is a third grade soldier in the Saiyan Army. On the contrary, Vegeta is the Prince o...

Natrang

I seriously don’t remember the last time I watched a Marathi movie in a theater, so according to my memory this was the first time I saw a Marathi Movie in a theater. And where?? The center point of recent controversy, Bharatmata, whose owners have been asked by NTC to vacate the place. Well, I will discuss that point in another post. Now, let us talk about the movie. I must admit it was a pleasure to watch Natrang in Bharatmata. The theater is located in central Mumbai near Lalbaug, which was dominated by Marathi mill workers in the yesteryears. Viraj had gone to PVR Lower Parel to buy the tickets. But since it would have cost us Rs. 150 each, I felt that it was too costly and asked Viraj to watch the movie in some other theater or on some other day. Since, Bharatmata was the nearest theater he decided to go there. I also left from home to join him. When I went there, there was a huge line for ticket. I didn’t tell Viraj but I had just 30 bucks in my wallet at that time, but what y...
