Fervent Prayer

I wish I had learned those Sanskrit chants which have powers to coerce the Rain God. I wish I had known those tribal dance which could invoke the Rain. I wish I wasn't born as a muggle but as a wizard ,I would then just gesture towards the sky with my wand and say some Rain spell.

Why are Delhites being deprived of an afternoon of rain beating against windows, "gilli mitti's"(sounds lot better then wet mud) fragrance,samosa and pakora's evening? Its only in the rainy season I feel like having a cup of masala tea. There is a sense of adventure in managing to have a biscuit dipped in hot tea without letting the biscuit dissolve(I end up having a beige mush at the bottom of my cup) .For Semi atheists (which includes me) it was through rain that God revealed himself. Rain was my moment of faith and certainty in the existence of God. If you think of it, God has managed a prayer from a semi atheist(although its in a blog but technically it is a prayer).OK I give up , I believe in your existence. Now please Indraji(deity of rainfall) bestow some rain upon parched Delhi ,Ameen.

You Owe us an apology Mr Akshay Kumar

As the week started I waited eagerly for Friday (nothing unusual though,I do it every week :)) , but this week was special we had planned a team outing.
First day, second show of 'Kambhaqt Ishq' starring Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards , Akshay Kumar(arranged in descending order of their performances , I am deliberately omitting kareena or miss beboo since she can't give a performance).I never had any expectations from this movie , but thought it would be a fun watching Akshay Kumar. They say "A wise man learns from his previous mistakes " ,this shibboleth challenges my Prudence since i didn't learn anything from Chandani Chowk to China ( comparing CCC with KI is like comparing comparing Sanjay Leela Bansali's Black with his Sawariya).


I don't want to write anything about what was in the movie since if i do then i will have to go back to those tortorous hours which my doctor has advised that I shouldn't. But somehow the movie has made such a impact on my brain that howsoever hard i try two tunes " Om mangalam mangalam " and "Bebo O Bebo "keep playing in my mind . My agony does not end here these tunes are accompanied by visuals. My doctor has advised therepy ( which is watching some movies with a story line and good music) and has warned me from watching any new releases as it could prove lethal to my fragile health.
