Kaisa raha?(How was it?)

A refresher before I begin the post :) – http://pushpreet.blogspot.in/2008/03/aur-suna.html

Another one which falls in this list is ‘Kaisa raha?’ You can fit this question anywhere in any sort of situation, when you have nothing else to ask or talk or probably you don’t have anything to start a conversation after the guy has come back from a vacation or a trip to some place. Invariably, whenever you meet the person you end up asking him/her .. “Kaisa raha?” and the standard reply you get is “Badhiya (with a smile)”

I have seen people fitting this question in probably many situations, and sometimes it gets a bit awkward for the person who has to answer it.
Picture this – A guy comes back from his marriage leave to office, and he meets 20-25 people. And, out of those 25 people he meets, the first question 15 of them asked him was – “Kaisa raha?”
I mean, come on – the guy has just come back from his honey moon, and you ask him “Kaisa raha?” How do you expect him to answer this question – with a few guys standing at a corner sheepily smiling after getting the unintended pun in the question. Someone, went a step ahead and asked – “Kaisa raha? Maze kare?” Trust me, this question was asked in all seriousness without any intended pun. And, you should have seen the embarrassment with which he answered – “Haan”.

Yes ... Chabbi Janvary again :)

-
So, if you wonder what is so special about this day, apart from the fact that it is the Republic Day of India, that I religiously try to write a post about this day every year – then let me clear a few doubts this ‘Chabbi Janvary’. ‘Chabbi janvary’ is how we pronounce ‘26 January’ in Punjabi. The first time I wrote the ‘Aa gayi Chabbi Janvary’ post (in 2006), it was just a post with a title which I thought sounded funny when written- it’s ok, now even I know that it aint funny. The second Year – well, I somehow just remembered that I had written a post at this time of the year, in the previous year – so, I titled it ‘Aa Gayi Chabbi Janvary firse’ (It’s 26 January again). The third year, I forgot to write on this day. I again remembered it in 2009, and titled the post as ‘Aa Gayi Chabbi janavary … is baar 2 saal baad’ (i.e. after 2 years). In 2010, I had again forgotten, but Amitesh reminded me of writing it .. only then it struck me that, people actually remember that I write a...

Delhi - Gurgaon and the usual!

-
*Rant Alert* The traffic of Delhi-Gurgaon is a great teacher. It teaches you so many things in such a short span of time that at the end of your journey from Home to Office you are a lot more humbled. It teaches you to be thankful, it teaches you the importance of short memory and many other things. When you start from home at 7:15 in the morning, the pleasant weather and light rain gives you the great energy you would need to start your day on a happy note. And, then suddenly you find a malfunctioning Traffic Signal which is turning green for just 30 sec resulting in 15 min stoppages where it should ideally be just 2 to 3 minutes. You realize, it’s never wise to count your chickens before they hatch. A little further down the way, there is a caring father who stops his car on the right most side of the road – next to the road partition. He leisurely stops the car, waits for his son to get out with his bag and water bottle and go to school on the other side of the road – ...

"Going Home for Diwali"

October - Yes, the festive season is near. In the morning, when you wake up there is a cool breeze that is blowing. You slowly try to ease your way out of the bed and crawl into the bathroom for the shower, only to turn the shower On and stand next to it trying to muster up the courage to get into it. The water is cold, and you are probably too embarassed to start using the Water Heater, yet. You wait until you realize that you are getting late for office and then dash into the shower and out of it as quickly. So, the hot and humid summers are gone. In the evening there is a very pleasent fragnance from the flowers on the trees. That pleasent smell (for lack of a better word) reminds you that the festive season is here. Diwali is coming soon! Suddenly, you have a smile on your face. There are a countless feelings which you feel during this time of the year. It is a sort of a high you wait for, all year long. There is an old Maruti Suzuki advertisement which starts coming every y...
