The Mother of All Days - Sundays !

Dear Friends,

Today is going to be a little less personal, since I think, you already have a sack-full of issues on a personal basis with you, and if I become - another - Additive to the same - then the very name of my Blog - empatheticfools - would start pointing towards me - Which I so "Conventionally" actually use for :) --------------> You !!!

Ok ! first a small poem,

Mother of all days is - Sunday !

But, why Does it have to come only - 1 Day !

For some - it is Church, For Others - it is Ande,

For some it is sleeping - in their Rooms - Thande - Thande !

For those - who have missed - All the above - Joys n Sorrows

No freinds, no enemies , no parents - But do you have some - Dande's -

- Take the danda - fix a cloth - "Spiders Cobwebs - Remove the wrath"

- Take the danda - get ur clothes - put some water, put some soap,

........ Wet the cloth / ur shirt ur pant / Hit it with the Danda - n see the froth !

- Take the danda - to a shop - And on - Additional asking of that man !

- Take ur Danda - Uncha kar Jhanda ! Give ur Danda to that - Silly looking Man !

- U know what u have done. Helped a blind man - Get to cross ! The Road ! ...

The Poem Ends

Now let me share this story - of mine - Where I have this dream of getting married on the Top of a Mountain !

- I love the mountainous terrain - No not the just the one (dear male members) - have just taken a shot of thot at - But, I really love the mountains -

- I find them beautiful ........................ they support so many forms of life on them

- I find them - inspiring ! ---------- These - Heights and Slopes - remind ou of all We - undergo -this span of Human Existence on this Earth

- I find them - extremely - Exotic ------------- food might be a scarcity here ------------- but ur Eyes can suffice that Hunger -------------Ek Din !- when u see --------- Natural Beauty these places have ....

- I also love drinking Beer - n - I have heard - people on the Mountains (special The Males) - do Nothing - In a typical UP Hindi dialect - Sasure kuch nahi karte din bhar - bas Daaru pee ke pare rehtey hai - Now, this is like that - Utmost - Dream of Many - Such Indians - Who After - No Matter - What they do - Like winning the Nobel Prize - or Winning the Bharat Ratna or whatever you might lure them with - The Jajantram - Mamantran - they sing every night is -

-- Hum peeyengey Daaru daab !

-- Hum peeyengey Daaru daab !

-- Hum peeyengey - Daaru daab ! (pause)

-- ek Din .....

-- Oho ! Daaru hai julaab !

-- Daaru Inqilaab !

-- Apni Daaru - Be-HIsaab ---- Ek Din

- But so many of them - I've seen actually left this Earth without this little/puny dream of theirs never coming true.

- By Daru - I remember - an event - Which changed my Life towards - this Daaru - thing - in India - specially - in Uttar Pradesh

The Story -

We were going to attend this 'funeral ceremony' of a gentlemen we knew - almost 10 years now. Me , my bua , my dad , n our Very beloved and an intelligent Man - Raviji - the driver.

• Music was on full blast
• Tank full - with bananas / Patties / real fruit juices / Sandwiches / The - not so healthy sandwiches (Sandwiches my dad makes - might even lack for Bread at times - forget the other stuff)
• Our mobiles - ringing every second minute - narrating what new - Scheme of action - Should be followed by - The people we've left behind - Although I'm quiet sure - The were at the time - At their Homes - in their Beds - Watching Reality TV - while they were playing this gimmick on Us !
• I even dreaming - That girl of my Dreams - I might just come across - In this 'ever so awaited funeral'
• Lastly, when these things were not sufficing - My dad came up with a 'New Journey Policy' and that was - "Check every Petrol Pump - that would now come inbetween our Target & Check if they've built their Toilets well or not" - and To our amazement - the 25 Petrol Pumps - and The Glitzy Toilets we saw - that day - Hardly a few were being actually used. They always build a "Huge Black Door" at the back of the Petrol Pump - that is their exit door - to the Heavens of Nature - they visit every Half an Hour.

- Now the story

- We reached a crossroad on our Journey (you can call a bi-furcation) - the road suddenly split into two roads - and we went past on the left one - As we always hesitate choosing the Right roads.

-After a 5 minute hall - suddenly - The flashbulbs - lit up - And came the Question -

"Arrey ! Woh Right Wali Sadak Kahan Jaa Rahi Hogi ?" and then came in that 'naah question series' - 'Kahin woh sadak to Katni nahi jaa rahi hai - Naaaah' ?

'Kahin humlog - galat sadak pe to aa gaye nahi - Naaah' ?

and the Master - Stroke -

ladies are good at -

'Kahin humlog - Khadde - mein to nahin - Gir jayengey - Naaah' ?

- Flash-bulbs lit up for the second time -

- And the third Umpire (in most cases my Dad) -

- Rose that deadly finger and said -

'Driver ! Car mod lo' ?

- I like on most occasions of my Extreme judgemental abilities told them - I saw a "Blue Board" - excatly inbetween - "The Split" and I'm sure it is that Board that shall - Redeem Us of all Our Pain ---------

'The Driver - Was So Ambitious that Moment' of glory in these Journeys he would get - "He drove the car Back-wards for almost half a kilometer - we had till then Covered"

When we reached back - you have this Miracle of a Board -

(that too sponsored by these great Sprouting - Engineering Colleges in Allahabad) -

The Board said -

"ANGREZI SHARAAB KA THEKA AAP KE DAYI OR KO HAI " - "NO HORN PLEASE"

- There was no hint of any - Direction what-so-ever on that board.

Secondly, when we turned - Right - There were these 5-6 drivers - Fully Emancipated - And before the driver cud even ask - one of them - The Cheers-Leader shouted -

"Abey ! Gaadi Ulti Chala Raha Hai - Tujhe Lagi Hai Kya Be ?"

We, knew it was not our day - and as usual - We didn't take the Right Road ----

but, the Left Road ---

Moral of the story -

'Whenever driving with ur family in eastern Uttar Pradesh never look for sigh boards on direction - because where on one side - you shall get none - There are chances - the one's u get - Might even effect - The Direction of Your Lives' ---- that too extremely

- Hence, believe in God, and - keep doing - What Shani and Shukarr ask you to do -

Because if - Venus - comes in the way - then - U should know -

'These days u might not get drinking water outside our Colleges - But u would get is - A Large and Heavenly - Strongly Built - Magnificently Placed - A Majnu Pinjra'

- Sab Maya Hai !!!

Story on Majnu Pinjra wud be published shortly ..................

n I hope u like - the "Mother of all days - Sunday" - story

- Mil gaye jo chora chori -

- Phir masti ho gayi thodi -

Bas - Pyaar ka naam na lena -

I love - My short Stories ..........................

God be with you --

n me 2,

Khuda Hafiz ----
