The Trio - Aloo ke Paranthe, Achaar Aur Chai

Chutti ke din ki subah aur nashte mein Aloo ke paranthe ho to kya baat hain. Bas issi ek chotte sapne ko sakar karne ka maan kiya aur RaviVaar ka din chunna. ShaniVaar ki raat thoda jaldi hi neend aa gayee thi, isliye subah jab sooraj ne poori shakti aur apne pratap se duniya ko jagmanna chaha, usse pehle hi meri nindra khul gayee. Kaaran, pichli raat thoda jaldi so gaya tha. To socha ki itni subah uth kar kya karoon. Phir dyaan aaya ki kamre ki safai kar leni chaiye. Ek aur kaam yaad aaya. Thoda karyaalay ka bhi kaam tha isliye pehle woh khatam kiya. Usko khatam karte karte hi subah ke das baj gaye. Aur laga ki kuch der mein bahut tej bhook lagne lagegi, isliye apne kadam maine rasoi ki taraf badhaaye.

Kuch bartan gande padhe hue they, to sarv-pratham unko chamkaya. Uske baad aloo ko ubaalane rakh diya. Jab tak aaloo hue, utne samay mein aate ko ghoondha. Chunki yeh pehli baar kar raha tha isliye, pichli raat mein maine poori jankari apni behen se le li thi. Isliye koi pareshaani nahin hui. Lekin, kaafi mehnat ka kaam hain aata ghoondhna aur ek accha abhyaas. Itni der mein aaloo bhi ho gaye aur usme namak, mirchi, hara dhaniyaa ityaadi daal kar ek mishran bana liya.

Ab baari thi ek aur ghor parishram kaarya ki. Aur woh to paranthe ko belna, ghol aakar mein. Paranto yeh kaam itna mehnat waala nahin tha aur prabho ki kripa se sab parantho ka aakar, keh sakta hoon ki, ghol tha. Aam ke achaar ke saath to paranthe bahut swadisht lag rahe they. Itni der mein mere ek saathi ne chai tyaar kar li. Bas phir kya tha, garam garam paranthe acchaar aur chai. Wah!!

New Year Resolutions

There goes 2004 and the new year 2005 is now in front of us. I celebrated the oncoming of yet another year in my life with a difference, with a Tequilla shot and bottle of beer in good crowded bar with my friends. The hangover was good until we had dinner of burgers and finger chips. The other day I was in a talk with one of my good friends and he asked about my new year resolutions. Geeee! I had completely forgotten about that. I was so lost in my work that even for a second no thought occured to my about the 'new year resolutions'.

Ok, time for retrospection : let me think what were my last year's new year resolutions. Yeah, now I remember, one of them was going to atleast six dates. (I won't tell how much I succeeded, for obivious reasons ;) ) The other resolution was that I'll brushing my teeth daily ... hey, you think I don't brush my teeth daily..common, let me finish. My resolution was to brush my teeth daily before I go to sleep. :D Another one was to while peeing I won't allow the drops of my pee (both before hitting the shit-pot and after) to fall out of the vicious premisis of the entity which is called 'hagga ghar'. As the problem states, it involves complicated physics and mathematics and right now I'm working on the huge, mammoth equations to get right set of answers.

Now about this new year's resolution. Based on last year's, I have huge backlogs and will be primarily working on it. I thought of some different kind of resolution for this year. I really got interested in photography last year and so bought a good zoom lens for my SLR. So, I'll be venturing into Professional Photography and will be carrying my camera everywhere with me. Who knows when you catch celebrities lip-locking like Shaheed and Kareena. But no hidden photography like DPS or Anara Gupta episode :D

I'm still thinking of other resolutions to which I can vow for this year. I'm still working!!
