I started this blog aimlessly however with deep urge of writing something. That something could be just expressing my happiness, my anger, my observations, my experiences or may be just something which I don’t know right now but with intention of making us smile, laugh, think , rethink, change……….and make us better WE at the end of the day!

She is naughty, but She makes you smile!!

A simple honest conversation....
I went to a juice shop few days back with a friend. I ordered pineapple juice and she ordered anjir milkshake and vegetable sandwich. The shop is really good though little expensive. 100 bucks for milkshake, I think it’s expensive….
We had our big glass of juice/milk shake and then sandwich came. My friend did not like it much. She was little choosy that day or she might be done with milk shake alone. She had a piece of sandwich and left the rest. She went to counter to pay the bill….and I came across this coversation!
Friend: uncle, bill?
Sardarji Uncle: Beta, sanwich to kha lo (Daughter, have sandwich first).
Friend: Uncle, I’m done.
Sardarji Uncle: Kyun? Pasanad nahe aaya? (What happen? You didn’t like?)
Friend: Thoda tikha tha. Per koi baat nahe. (It was little spicy. But it’s ok)
Sardarji Uncle: Beta, main dusra banake deta hoon. Betho aap. (Dear I’ll make you another one. You sit!)
Friend: Uncle, waise bhe ab mujhe bhook nahe hai. It’s ok. (Uncle anyways I’m not hungry now).
Sardarji Uncle: Thik hai beta, pack kareke doon phir aapko? (Okay. You want me to parcle it?)
Friend: Uncle, ghar pe bhe koi nahe hai khane wala. It’s ok. I’ll pay you the bill.
Sardarji Uncle: How can I take money if you don’t eat?
Friend: Koi baat nahe uncle. Aap paise le lo. (It’s ok uncle. I’ll pay the bill)
Sardarji Uncle: Nahe beta, agar aap khoge nahe to main paise kaise le sakta hoon? Batao aap mujhe. (How can I take money if you do not eat? Tell me dear..)
Friend:...........................
Sardarji Uncle: Koi nai beta!! Apne shop pe bacche kha lenge. You pay me for whatever you had.
And he literally made bill for just milk shake and juice we had. I have seen a guy like him after years. I was so amazed with his gentleness. Next time I visit, I’ll surely take picture with him and let him know why. Acknowledgement is really important, for anything good or bad. We don’t really do that frequently.
I felt so touched knowing there are still people like him around. I might not do business like this. But I would for sure like to be one of his kinds...All these expericences help us to be better humans.
I thought to share this since long and I kept my words :)

part of my collection : )
Ganesha, 2010!!
woke up at 11 a.m, grabbed my cam and went out of my apartment. I just love those stalls selling Ganpatis'!! They are made up of plaster of paris and wonderfully painted!! Decided to capture those colors in my cam!
I think i captured this well!
I love this thing about Ganesha ; Some standing, some sitting, some playing musical instruments, you find them in different moods like happy, puzzeled, mischevious, calm, annoyed or simply graceful!!
Few more statues!! Noticed colors have come out so nicely?
I took the permission from stall wala guy to take some snaps. He happliy agreed. While i was clicking dem, he didnt say anything. After sometime, he brought b'ful ganesha in sunlight from his special collection and asked me to take his snap. "madam yeh sabse accha murti hai ganesh ka, eska photo mikalo"(this is the best one i have, take the snap of it)!! i was glad.
I said thank you for being so nice without the slighest thought of what's going on his mind. he asked me so innocently "madam yeh newpaper me anne wala hai kya?? " (is it gonna get published in newspaper). I just smiled. After a second of pose, i said No, it's just to share with some friends :) I hope i could have said YES!!!
His kid! thought i would take print of this and give it to him! but next day, stall disapeared :(
Ganesha Prasad :)
