When I was a kid...(stupidity revisited)

Just got blown out becuase of a very sweet incident of my childhood, offcourse a stupid one. I was playing cricket with a guy having similar name as of mine "Bittu". So, Bittu was playing vs Bittu. All other people where sleeping in the afternoon. I think, I was 2 or 3 years old and was told not to play in the afternoon but I silently skipped from the bed,...took my bat and called my friend Bittu.

During those days, I had long hairs like the real fashionable dudes and models...my golden days...anyways...while, the whole family was sleeping, I started playing cricket. Everything was going fine. One more thing...bat belonged to me and ball belonged to my friend..... In a very competitive fight in a sportsman spirit, i hit a six which led the ball to go and sit in a deep shit muddy water out of the campus. My friend started crying for his ball. Since, it was my double fault (playing without permission and hitting a ball out of campus), I thought to get it back on my own. I tried stones, sticks but nothing worked...

After a long time, with great courage I thought of going into that pit, I was hero (I did not know it was deep..I never expected...didn't have that much brain). I told my friend..don't worry I will get it back... just keep silence and do not tell any one that I am going there. He nodded in agreement. I stepped into that ditch and slowly started going further in order to reach the ball and slowly the ditch started swallowing me inside it. I could not make sound due to fear of severe beating and that friend of mine also was keeping mum as per my instruction. Slowly, the muddy water reached my neck, mouth and nose... Then a miracle happened. Some guy from a distant building was playing with his kites. He saw me getting drowned , he started shouting and came running from very far for my help, actually all his friend came running to avoid something unpleasant . I was in the mud completely and only my hair was out (long hairs...). He picked me up with my long hairs and save my life. Then, took me to my home and then a big drama happened but I did not get any beating. Thanks to God. They just gave me a full bath and then, washed me with Ganga Jal and asked me to drink also:) . What! a day it was.

A friend of mine.....

"Well, I have a friend". Then, what?? what is so new about it? Everyone has many.
"I know but this one is special". Why?? Who is that?? Name??Male or Female.
"The reason for why is that I see a image of mine in that soul. To answer who- A soul has no name and sex." Ok Jerk! what so special??
" A smile with glittering eyes that's the specialty of my friend. I could not find a match around the whole world in any other living organism" When and Where did you guys meet??
"Well, we met a long time ago". Are you still in touch?
"(Proudly) yes." Ok! Then what your friend do?
" Work" You stupid don't make me crazy..what work?.. you idiot
" We both work together" Ok baba! what's that?
"Remembering each other". Youuuuu....I will kill you..
"You can not kill a soul" Grrrrrrrr.....what do you call your friend? I mean how do you address that soul. There must be specific name.
" yes, but why should I tell you. That's none of your business. (smiling)" Does your friend know that you are an idiot?
"Yes, off course". Thank God. What is your friend doing right now?
"Smiling ...perhaps". OMG....

My Role Model

My search for the role model of my life ended few days back. It was a brain storming research and I happily declare that it is over. I wanted to write earlier in a better way with a complete analysis of all the characters whom I analyzed but it is not possible to write about all of those more than twenty thirty contenders. Perhaps, I can speak about it only if asked by someone close. The list included right from freedom fighters, politicians, lawyers, scientists, doctors, sportsmen, super heroes and epic heroes. It was a difficult choice. And when it comes to choice, i always refer history books :) ; I mean Ramayan and Mahabharat.

I have been concentrating on Mahabharat and Ramayan for my policies and duties, the different questions..what to do? what not to do? and during that time came to know answers of many of the questions related to life and one of them was surely the the question of role model also. While analyzing for a very long time about all the incidents in these two epics I was searching for a role model, a hero, a person whom I should follow my whole life. Well, I found one undoubtedly. Although, Ramayan is very idealistic and speaks lot about the values one should hold his whole life, it some what misses the the common problem of day to day life. Thus, while trying to co-relate the situations with present time; I found Ramayan should be followed for family values and Mahabharat should be followed for all non family affairs. That's one point.

The second point about role model is that, after watching and analyzing the whole idea of all the characters of Ramayan and Mahabharat, I today declare that my role model is Sri Krishna; not because he is God himself incarnated but because I find his deeds very similar to be copied in most of the cases :) ; I can copy all of them, actually would love to copy all his work. The incidents and events which happened between the time when he comes back after his education and before the great battle begins, is my favorite part. I was impressed by his presence of mind and his decisions which he made while leaving from Gurukul, helping Rukmini and then helping Pandavas when they needed it. Just awesome. He is my hero, my role model. If you are there Krishna having access to my blogs, just wanted to let you know; just be there. One day, I will meet you and if you are watching..just enjoy the show....thumps up to you for being my role model. :) Hey do you know...who is my second inspiration....that's Edward Bloom (BigFish character)....he gave a tough fight to you Krishna but you won the race. Edward is second my inspiration but you are my only role model+inspiration both. Cheers!
