Why do we have Nicknames?

Piggy chops, Bebo, chi-chi, ash, abhi, Big B, SRK, Jlo, Scarjo, Brangelina and so on. These words seem to be meaningless. They are. But while reading this you’ll ignore their meaninglessness(Wow!! What a word.. :w00t: ). That’s because you know these are the nicknames of celebrities. You will laugh at anyone else using these names if they weren’t celebrity nicknames. Is that the purpose of nicknames? To give others reason to laugh at you?

I’ll start with myself. (I talk a lot of things about myself on this blog.. Guess what? It’s my personal blog turned to nonsense. :pinch: ) I have a lot and lot of nicknames. Unlike most, I consider nicknames as gifts and as a measure. It is the measure of how much people around you love you. What they feel about you. The nick by which I write on this blog is about nine years old now. I got it when I was in Higher Secondary. I was known by that name to some friends. But my most used nick is Gullu. It sounds funny. But almost 90% of my friends call me by that name instead of my real name.

I’ll tell you one funny incident. I was new to orkut and was sending requests to friends by their e-mail ID’s. One of the friends replied, “Who are you? I don’t know you.” :dizzy:
I was a bit surprised and replied him as Gullu. Only then he was able to recognize me. I will never forget that incidence where my nick name superseded real name. After that whenever I sent a request I wrote Gullu in brackets besides my real name. This name is stuck to me like a birthmark.

Nick names are meaningless but for me they are priceless. My ears are always eager to hear Gullu rather than my real name. It shows love. Those who are in love will know this. Their GF or BF call each other by a lot of nicknames. Silly nicknames. Almost every person on this earth will have one nick name at least. However idiotic it may sound, just accept it(Exclusive of Bad words). Let the people laugh at you. You are the reason to spread smiles. :biggrin:

Till your nick lasts..

Hakuna Matata – No need to worry

Long back there was this song which made me dance and laugh. It was similar to the song from The Lion King. This is just the Hindi version of the song. I am yet to watch that movie. I tried and tried to get my hands on it. A couple of months ago I even found the links. But I lost them. I am moving away from VCD’s, so it’s difficult to get them at rental. I live in a place where DVD is an alien. :alien: You have DVD player and you don’t know what is DVD or what are it’s advantages. Lets’ not drift to that.

Back to Hakuna Matata. I have tried many times to get this song. The Hindi version of course. Though I haven’t seen the movie, I love Timon and Pumba. Very funny characters. There was an animated series on these characters and I used to watch it. Those cartoons had some really ROFL comedy. I loved the craziness and the stupidity. The song I am talking about contains the same elements. It is crazy.

At that time I didn’t knew from which language the words “Hakuna Matata” came from. According to that song it means “No need to worry” or “There are no worries”. The first time I heard that song I was in class seventh. The song is sing by Baba Sehgal and Anaida. Baba Sehgal is famous Indian rapper(I call them rapist as they rape the song most of the times). It’s been months I have been searching for the song.

I understood the meaning of song back then. That’s why I am trying to find out what level of intelligence is required to understand a song. I was an intelligent boy at that time. :face: Studies ruined me. 😆 Almost everyday i waste 20-30 minutes in search of this song. I’ll get it I know that. No need to worry. It is one of those songs which makes my worries go away.

Hakuna Matata…

Can you believe this?

dogdiary


I never saw a dog catching his tail. I would love to see if they actually do this. A real picture is worth thousand times more than illustration. If anyone does have a real picture like what I said above then please upload it somewhere and post the link here. I’ll give it a place in my post with the credits.

I am also yet to see a dog with straight tail. That tail doesn’t straighten up even if you put it in pipe for years. A research has to be done on this subject. It is one of the seven wonders in animal kingdom.

Till I find a dog with straight tail…

Thank you god for everything

Everyday is not same. We go through a series of changes which may also change the course of our life. When we get something good or we are happy, we often forget to thank god for that. But when it’s bad time we suddenly remember god and that also for cursing. Why me? Why did you do this to me? What wrong I did? This happens when you forget to thank god. It doesn’t matter if it’s tiny or negligible thing. Just thank god for giving that.

A while ago, I read a blog where the author wrote good things that happen in his everyday life. I am trying to find that blog and will link it when I find. I don’t want to turn my blog into something similar like that blog. So I’ll write a post every week to thank god for the good things happened in that day.

  • I had a great breakfast in the morning.  Chapati with sambar tastes great.
  • I was late to get out of the house and was expecting to miss my bus. I didn’t miss that. 🙂
  • There was a dispute between me and an engineer from contractor’s side. It was solved peacefully. Thank you god for giving me enough patience.
  • I had good lunch with butter to add to taste.
  • I was able to convince contractors engineers again in another dispute. That was twice in a day. 🙂
  • I met a friend while returning to home, whose wedding I wasn’t able to attend. Happy to see that he was not angry on me.
  • A cup of coffee with some toasts and a comedy show on TV. Perfect for relaxing.

Do you thank to god? Would you like to? Would you like to create a post like this? Then go ahead and send me link to that post. I’ll put that link along with this post.

Life without a price tag

The world today revolves around some shit of paper called money. Everything, well almost everything, can be bought with money.  Some say emotions cannot be sold. But what about the ones we watch in movies? They are emotions. They reflect on us. We laugh, we cry, we are happy, we are sad when we watch movies.  So in a sense emotions also have a price tag.

Money isn't everything

So what will happen to this world without money? Just imagine the world without money. While picturizing this you may get horrible pictures if you are a businessman or a banker. On the other side, one who is poor will be happy. There is no money and he doesn’t have to worry about money now. But will the life without money really remove poverty? That’s a question I cannot answer. Continue reading →
