Kya hoti haiii ‘Utaran’

Strange title na!! the blog was getting too negative so I opted for change. But No that’s not the only reason why I am writing this post. For people who do not know, let me introduce the title.’ Utaran’ is the name of a daily soap on the channel ‘colors’ and the title is the last line of the serial’s title song. Now for people who know me, please do not assume that finally the world has driven me to insanity and so I am watching and even writing about soap operas.

Let me give you a brief about the soap. Its based on 2 girls loving and fighting for the same guy. Now everybody knows one of them is a vamp and other the heroine. Its strange that in normal life I only see guys fighting for girls. Lucky Guy I must say or else where in our country where you have only 923 females for 1000 males do we find such cases. Ohh, I am getting diverted. Let’s continue the brief about the soap. It is actually based on one of the stories of our most famous Hindi novelist ‘ Premchand’.

One of the very strong reasons why I felt like writing about this soap was cause our beloved Mr. premchand wrote a story and finished it. He couldn’t think of more than that, but our soap scriptwriter has gone past the original story and came up with more ideas. Introducing more characters of which one is our main hero’s brother. Strangely the future says that this brother is going to fall in love with the same girl whom our hero loved. Oops, did I spill the beans?? No!! everybody knows that..lol. My father keeps saying this particular dialogue from one of the movies which goes like “ Jahan premchand ka dimaag kaam karma band kar diya wahan se scriptwriter ne sochna shuru kar diya”. Ofcourse its sarcasm as he is one of Premchand’s Fan.

Back on the story, Our hero is now forcibly married to the vamp. Its actually this which has given the scriptwriter the scope to arrange love between the good heroine and our hero’s brother. If its getting confusing, then trust me I am able to pen down the serial very nicely. One of the other interesting facts about the soap is that the vamp looks and acts much much better than the heroine. Rather the inability of the heroine to fight and her classy dialogue delivery (pun intended) makes her so irritating. I don’t think even Tulsi Virani cried as much as she does. Also we had a sizzling dance number by the vamp to seduce our hero which was above our TV standards. On discussion of this particular scene with my friend only did I realize that it’s a serial which is very popular and deserves some place in the blog.

Like every soap I know how its going to end. Its going to be over immediately as it loses its TRP. They cannot bring the story to an end cause THERE IS NO STORY at all…If this post has brought some interest please do watch this serial. it comes daily at 10 PM. After all, all married people force others to marry as they do not want to be the only people who suffer. So please watch it.

PS: I do not watch this serial but like 60% of the male brethren I am forced to watch it as its dinner time and we do have females in our house.

No, I am not ending it with my regular Cheers!
I would rather say “ Kisika jeevan sapna hai, kisika sapna hai utaran;
Wo nahi samjhe abhi, Kya hoti haiiiii UTARAN”!!!!!

The RACE is ON

Gone are the days when we believed that slow and steady wins the race.Now its all about running fast. We all are part of the rat race. Just that these days the rats are becoming highly competitive and very fast.

They tell me ‘you are trying to run too fast’. Yes, I am. I am running to win. I am not on a marathon. It’s a sprint. And the only way to win is to run too fast. Yes I will fall, but the additional speed would have given me enough time to recover and join the race again.I might not enjoy the journey. Yes , I know. But I am more interested in enjoying the destination. My journey never mattered to me.

And mind it guys, its not easy. Cause I definitely see some rats in the race that have an advantage. They are either running a relay where the baton is passed or some other way. A few rats are more beautiful from the female gender and use it as an advantage. Yes, we all know men are dogs and these dogs are helping the beautiful rats. These rats have also known their importance and are using these dogs to the fullest. And did I mention the lucky rats. Yes, I do consider myself lucky but some are just luckier than me.

Now when the race is against all these, I have to run fast. I might get tired at times but I need to continue running. I might feel dejected and low but I have to continue running. I am not going to lose so soon and so easily. I know I am paying the cost but hopefully its gonna be worth it.

And did I mention that in all these races, I am also running a race to be among the good bloggers. And for that your feedback is important guys. So please comment more, suggest more and if you like it spread it more.
“ Kya karein yaar. Aadat hi kuch aisi hai ki sochte hai jo karein, duniya se acha karein!!!” :-)

Cheers!

The 'Negativity'

I know the first few thoughts that come into your mind looking at the title of the post. The blog comes after a month and look at the depressing topic or why can't he write on something else other than negatives of life. Well I have a few answers.

Is it not already so much around us? The negative vibes, the negative feelings, the negative actions. Its there in your personal life, in your corporate life, in your relationships..everywhere. Then why do we run away from it. Why do we still feel we do not want to read on negative thoughts or watch negative movies. We hate movies where we are not entertained. We would love the silly romance where in the end our hero finally gets all that he wants. Real life is different than reel life.Its time we realize that yes negativity is a part of our life. let's for once accept it. Face it. Feel it. Admit to it.No more running away from it.

I had once read ' the only way to solve a problem is by facing it and not running away from it'. With this post all i want is people to realize that running away is not the answer. And there are many places where we don't. When we talk about corporate culture we feel and see the negativity but we cannot run. Cause it pays. We accept it for money. But that attitude of accepting has to be everywhere. Lets accept all those people around us who play games with us, betray us, force us to think negative. Cause only after i accept or admit you in my life , will i be able to fight you.

There is one more reason why i want people to read it.It helps to know that you are not the only person who is suffering from negativity. It surely helps me. So get ready boss, tighten your belt and be ready to fight.

And for people who know me, i know i don't come up to you as a depressed soul the way i portrayed in few posts. But then i need to remove my negativity and frustration somewhere. And one of my good friend had asked me to start writing for the same reason. The way the posts are is the same way life is. At times positive and at times negative. Let us share both. Accept both. And live up to all that is offered.
