Saturday Chronicles

     It was one of those amazing evenings I ever had. I mean, how many times does it happen that your 2 groups of best friends call you at the same place, same day, same time. It happened with me last Saturday. Kanchan, who is my classmate from Chikitsak has come back from Italy, so she wanted to meet her Chikitsak friends. Since most of the people are free on Saturday evening, she told us to meet opposite Aquarium at the sea face (we call it Katta).

     During the same period, my old school’s friends (from Sundatta High School) were planning a small get-together. Nitin had contacted many of my classmates to come to Marine Drive sea face. He called me and told me the same date and time as Kanchan had told me. He really wanted to meet everyone. I could make out from his voice, he was so much excited. Since, it would have looked really bad to say NO to any of the two groups, I decided to meet them one by one, may be give half an hour to old school group and rest of the time I was going to stay with Chikitsak group.

     Actually situation turned out to be much more interesting. The two groups were sitting next to each other, and I would shift from one group to another as and when a new member arrived in the group. I am not sure if my friends got irritated because of this, I had no choice. As one of Shaan’s famous song has it-

Mujhe Na Kehna Na Aata

Kisi Ka Dil Dukha Na Paata

     But it was fun meeting both the groups, especially my old school friends, I was meeting them after more than a decade. It was similar to the way Jeetu would come to meet us after a long time and we would him all the updates from Girgaon, this time Nitin and Vishal were updating me about my other classmates life. I am really eager to meet them and some more of my old classmates again.

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...

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...
