Hi Frnds,
It was about 15-16 yrs back when we met, i was in 3rd std. i was among the top students (surprised, right? but it's true) and he was top among the back benchers,we used to hate each other as i was a mamma's boy and was told right from the beginning to be only with the sharp students and not at all with the back benchers, who come to school and get beaten up by teachers and at home they waste their time in flying kites( no wonder why i got beaten up manier times but never got a chance to fly kites).
So, i was talking about this dude. as i have told you earlier that i was a good student in the class (i like this fact too much as i can't stop myself from repeating it), so i was quite fascinated with my self that i never missed a chance to pull the legs of any of those "bad boys" and to take them for a ride.
so whenever an authority was given to me by my teacher to take care of the class in their absence or just to conduct a quiz, he always used to be my first target.i loved beating him with the wooden scale along with other "bad boys".
Now when i realise that why we hated each other, it's just a simple reason behind it, right from the beggining i was pushed to study, so i did not get a chance to ride cycle or to play on the street like any other child( but no regret as i am still pround of the upbringing, which my parents gave me), perhaps that's the reason why i was jealous with him and he hardly had any boundation that's why he did everything but study thus he had that pain of being bad in studies and a "bad boy". So all in all we were just hating our own shorcomings and not each other.
The above mentioned things i realized later on, not then, because it was childhood, most memorable days of life.however now i'll tell you the day which i just can not forget.I was coming to home from school walking alone and was about to reach my place, when this "bad boy" with another bad boy was passing on a cycle.suddenly he stopped his clycle first and then stopped me and said "saale bahut hero banta hai, kayde se raha kar, nahi to pitega" and another thing i forgot to tell you that he had my collar in his hand. i was about to respond when i saw my older brother coming, my bro just came and gave him just a light slap and said "chal bhaag yahaan se" and he ran away. however he was not the one who gives up and while riding his cycle he just hit me with his water bottle and ran away. i was helpless but again next day i reported this to my class teacher and got him a good treatment.
After this incident rather accident, we were in same class(same as in with each other) for next 3 yrs, however non of even us tried to break the ice in these 3 yrs.
4 yrs after this "collar wala" incident, we both were in 7th std and were quite changed as i was degraded from excellent student to an average student and he had upgraded to an average student from a poor student.That's when we started speaking which each other and by the time we finished 8th std, we were "best buddies" and even after passing out 8th std, when we changed school, just to be with each other we chose the ugliest govt. school so that we can chill out together.he also started coming to my place for tutions.By this time he had fought with so many people for me and i must tell you that he was not my good friend because a good friend never lets you fight with anyone, but it's only your best friend who says "MAAR SAALE KO, MAA BAHEN EK KAR DE ISKI", and that's why he was my best friend.
In 10th std, we bunked college almost everyday and watched countless movies. those days were most beautiful days of my life, he used to come to my house with his bag and we used to just play chess, read "MAHEKTA AANCHAL"(a not so famous urdu magazine) and eating N number of samosas.In the evening, we used to go to out famous "ADDA" and have cigarettes after cigarattes.In brief he used to come to my place at 09:00 AM and leave at 05:00PM and again we used to meet at 06:00PM and used to wander here and there till 10:00PM and that's how we spent next 5 years.
If i talk about studies, in 10th std, out of 5 members of our gang, only three of us could survive the battle , i got 3rd div. and he got 2nd.that's when it was time to part ways as far as the study is concerned, he chose to be a science student and i chose commerce (not because i was interested, but because i had no other choice). he completed his under cover graduation in commerce while persuing the B.Pharma, as he just was never sure that if he would be able to complete his B. Pharma and wanted to make sure that he is atleast a graduate.
Throughout this span of 10 yrs of friendship he never let me down and was always there whenever needed,so many people tried to part us on the basis of bloody religion and so many other things, but he was always there and is still there.
Now he is in final semester of B.Pharma and completed his B.com and he also helps his father in their family business, inspite of being from a rich family he is as simple as one can be.
Whenever i go to my hometown, we still go to that ADDA and spend time their and that ADDA is situated right infront of our first school.
I really miss you IRFAN and love you more than anything and anyone in my life.
i'll be there shortly to re-live those wonderfull days.
allah hafiz

being an indian
Hi Frnds,
i am writing at about 05:30 AM of 26th of jan'10, The 60th annual republic day of india, feeling embarrased and useless as now days the republic day and independence day is just a "dry day" which we keep in mind for, another day to sleep till late and another day to fly the kites.
having said that i would also like to tell that i am not amongst the people who think that india has not improved, India has, really has but the shortcoming is that it would have been far better if all of us would have made an honest effort
to make it a better place to live.
Everyday in the morning we can hear so many uncle JIs around us talking about the politics and "MAHNGAI" and finally ending up their chat with the famous quote "Is desh ka kuchh nahi ho sakta" and when quesitioned ,a very prompt and loud response comes "ye hamara nahi SARKAR ka kaam hai", now the question arrives "who the hell is this SARKAR?"Mr. PM, MRs. CM or Mrs. President or countless number of MPs and MLAs. Are all of them make a SARKAR? if yes, then who gives them the right to make us do what they want us to do. I guess we all know the answer,"WE" have given them the right to kick our a** whenever they want because in the last 63 yrs of freedom, inspite of numorous riots and bloodsheds we still believe that " "APNO" mein se hai isi ko jitao CHUNAAV". this f****ng APNO has made our life hell.
In a constituency there are 10 muslim candidates and only 1 hindu candidate, then it's quite certain that the "PANDIT ji" is going to with and vice-versa. because he is an APNA candidate and according to these undecucated einsteins, only hindu can understand what a hindu feels and only a muslim can understand what a muslim feels and when i say uneducated i am not talking about people who have not gone to school or college but i am talking about the people who have always been taught things but they never tried to learn something and unfortunetly it's the majority.
Everyday we talk about the social and political problem but we never try to be a part of the solution and never miss on giving an "EXPERT and NEUTRAL" comment about the issue.If traffic is the problemwhy don't we use the public transport, but we do'nt because we all have an AC BMW or SWIFT or 800 at our place and who wants the DHAKKA-MUKKI in a DTC bus. My frnds this DHAKKA-MUKKI is chaos in DTC bus but the same DHAKKA-MUKKI in a disc is the "cool ambience".
Few days back there was a hot news about how shahrukh khan had to face problem at the Newark airport, being a VIP it was matter of pride for us, however i know if we keep our egos aside, we would realize that that's the reason why U.S. has not faced any more 09/11 but we have gone through so many attacks as bad as 26/11.
It's time to talk and act, earlier we fought against British and now it's time to fight against an evil inside us. The Evil of ignorance, The Evil of religion,
The Evil of racism is going to burst out very soon and we would not be able to inherit the great pride and honour to our next generation the way our forfathers and inherited it in us.
To wrap this up, i would say that at the end of the day we have onle two option.
to be a part of the problem or to be a part of the solution and if we are standing with any other option or no option they we are neither a good citizen nor a good human being.
Jai Hind.

Parivartan
hellozzz,
it's been a really long since i've written something as i was not well for last 5-7 days and for the rest of the time i was busy doing something which i am not made for.sometimes i feel how many of us do what they really want to do in life, was i born only to be a tech specialist working on f****ng computers, did god have only this requirement in his/her mind when he was thinking of a creation named anuj. however lets talk like an optimist and not a pessimist.so lets talk about reason behind our existance. what i think about myself is that am i suppose to do just a freaking job and die like just another useless man, who made no changes his like and did everything what we've been doing for years without even thinking about "change".
I have spent 24 yrs of my life and believe me i have done nothing for anybody else apart from "MYSELF". when i was 4, i started studying for MY career, got through horrible phase called "BOARD EXAMINATION" ( and those were the worst days of my life, apart from the time which i spent with my friends). then i started BCA agan for MY career and now working for MY family, working hard for MY growth and saving money for MY future and taking care of MY family.If i remove that "MY" then life would have been really different and a lot more satisfying, i have no complaints with my life as god has been really kind to me. but while walking down the street or just driving or while doing nothing i just keep thinking does my existance really make a difference to anybody.
if i see a beggar, very easily i can give him few coins (as nobody wants to keep chillar in the pocket). But still nothing changes and as i have been doing this BLAH-BLAH about Changes, i am talking about "change to better" and not "better to change" and this change is not about getting rid of the bordem but it's about
changing the reason to live and i think it's a change which we all need to make.
Now comes the question "what to change??" . So in this regard i think that there are countless problem which we talk about everyday like politics, terrorism and poverty, population etc. We think what will change if we start working for an NGO and planting trees, my take on this one is even if we are just a zillionth part of thing world, if we are changed, a zillionth part of the world is changed and that would make this world a better place to live if every human being tries to change just one thing in the entire life and i am not talking about a revolution or a "DHARNA-PRADARSHAN" but just small things in our daily lives. If we talk about poverty particularly in india, there are many people for whom 100 Rs. or 1000 Rs or for the matter 100000 Rs hold no value and at the same time there are people who's life can change in just 100 Rs. and that change would be a two time meal as it itself is a very big change for millon of indians.
let's do something...
