Benefits of Mimicry..

just been back from shopping. I was looking for the shop owner of the retail fixed rate shop. Suddenly he appears from nowhere saying a dialogue, main hun naa. I told him, he should have said the same thing in Shahrukh's style. He smiled and told me although he is young he loves Raj kumar of the yore. I entertained him for few minutes with my repertoire of Rajkumar dialogues. He was extremely impressed by my act. Other customers in the shop were amused by this new development. The owner brought

his brother from the next shop. His brother asked me if I can imitate Rajesh khanna. And I belted out some of his dialogues. The shop owner was so impressed by this, he announced eighty percent rebate on anything I choose to buy from his shop. When I learnt mimicry my wife asked me, what would I gain. I told her I do things for my pleasure not money. Well, I got the money too.....

Chhotee & Fighter..!!

I have lived with my pets for fifteen years. Diana died of old age, Chhotee developed a mysterious lung disease and Fighter was mauled to death by stray dogs. I suffered enormous personal tragedy in last three years including my mom's death. I could sustain even my mother's loss but I almost had a mental break down after Fighter's death, because he died in my presence fighting 5-6 stray dogs which mauled him to death. My wife thought, I can never function normally again after this loss. But, life goes on ...and I have been feeding now regularly two stray dogs and named them Bhoora ( Brownie ) and Blackie !!

My Gurudwara Days.....

I used to be a typical backbencher in AVN College, Vizag. My subjects were BiPC which included Physics,Chemistry and Biology. Yes, I was still hoping to be a Doctor some day. I had taken Hindi as my second language. Physics classes used to be a nightmare which I used to spend mostly by sculpting the face of the lecturer on the wooden desk of my seat. Chemistry was equally dull. Biology was so so. My best moments were in Hindi classroom where I used to excel and could tell the whole class the meaning of rare couplets to the chagrin of the lecturer. Soon I was requested by many of classmates to give them tuition in Hindi. I agreed and I had enough pocket money through this activity. I never used to fail buying surprise gifts to my parents from this extra income. The remaining cash used to be enough for my regular movies at Jagadamba 70mm and Leela Mahal. I never failed to entertain my class during the recess hour by singing the latest Hindi songs and quintessential whistle tune of For a few dollars more and Good, bad and ugly. My best fan in the class was Gurmeet Singh, the genius and always a topper of the college. He tried to teach me Physics and Chemistry but in vain. He made me go to the local district municipal library along with him regularly where we discussed Science, movies and Physics. I was not sure of passing my Intermediate ( plus two ) and getting a seat in MBBS. Gurmeet was cocksure of getting a seat in IIT. He helped me during the exams by permitting me to stay at his place for two months so that he could teach me the basics of Physics and Chemistry.His father was the Priest at the local Gurudwara. They were given a residence at the basement of Gurudwara, located next to the Police HQ of Vishakhapatnam. Since I stayed with him for more than two months in the premises of Gurudwara, I learnt many things about their culture, kirtans, and also learnt to recite Jap Jee Saheb. I was still not sure of my passing and was not keen to be a burden to my father, who was an Accountant at FCI and with my four more siblings at home. I used to request for a part time job at Port Trust of Vizag through the influence and contacts of Gurmeet's father although he dissuaded me to do so. Gurmeet had three beautiful sisters and I was infatuated with them. Gurmeet's mother never failed extolling my virtues and praised me enthusiastically by telling many Punjabees that I was better than many Sardars. I still remember, once I asked Gurmeet's father whether I can convert into a Sardar, He just gave me an appreciative smile but did nothing. My days at the Gurudwara came to nought with our final examinations. Gurmeet surely joined BITS Pilani and I could muster a seat in Andhra Medical College. But, the saddest thing that happened was shifting of the Gurudwara to Seethammadara at the outskirts of Vizag and Gurmeet left permanently to Pilani. And I could never meet the beautiful sisters of Gurmeet again.

The Gift......!!

The next day, my wife was returning after a sojourn at Nagpur. I was at Agra and it was already twilight. Suddenly I decided to give a beautiful gift and a surprise to my son who would be arriving along with Soujanya, next morning by train. I went to the bazaar and tried to buy few gifts from the shop. But, nothing convinced me. And then I met Dr Deepak a well known veterinary doctor who was busy buying something. That was the time at around 9 pm. I decided the best gift would be a pup for my son. I requested the doctor if I can get a pup from his hospital. He told me of course, but I must meet him the next day when his clients visit him. But I insisted that I need it immediately because the train's arrival time was 7 am the next day.. He gave me an address of his client who had a litter few days back. I took the address and went to client's residence which was at outskirts of Agra at around 11 pm. The person welcomed me reluctantly at that hour. He showed six pups, all had vitiligo patches but one was smiling beautifully at me. I chose it. I carried the pup in a small basket and visited the doctor again to ask him what to feed at around midnight. He gave me little milk from his refrigerator. Next day morning, my maid who stayed at the servant quarter attached, asked me whether I had brought a child to my house at midnight, because she heard a child's crying from my window. She examined the pup and declared it to be a female. I named the pup Diana. My family arrived and I showed my gift to my son and Diana was hidden behind the flower pots. I can never forget the smile on my son's face...!!
