Purani Jeans aur Guitar............. Those were d best days of my life!!!!!!!!!!

2 years have gone, since i passed from the alleys of my beloved law school. Seasons have come and gone, people have come and gone and infact a lot of water has flown down d river Ganges, but d memoirs of law school have lived on in my heart. Those 5 years are easily d best days of my life.................. courtesy of my dearest buddies and friends, and to name a few............... Pappu, Chikki, Chetu, Mutton ki Dukaan, Kintu, Sid, Royla, Debu, Shawshank, Captain Jack, Button, Taplu, Tyagan, Kandil, Varsha, Gauri, Hassan Bhai, Shankar Bhai, Chhotu, Pulkesh and d list is endless......... but one person stands out from all others and he is is d heart and soul of my life.

My 5 years in one of the premier national law schools of India in Raipur (Hopefully, no one will again ask me d question as to where Raipur is!!!!!!!!!!) was a pot-pourri and khichri of emotions, joy, ecstacy, friendship, unlimted bakaar Raipuriya style wid loads of hau, bakaar, Poha- Jalebi and subah ki Chai wid our Sarkar and ofcourse wid a tinge of sorrow and dejection thrown in. I could not have asked for a better recipe for life!!!!!!!!!! Kabhi Kabhi padh bhi lete the, but those visits to d library or reading room where as frequent as our very own netas visiting the Lok Sabha or their own constituencies after getting elected!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a host of ppl to thank and speak about, but dis post is only for one person, who is my brother, mentor, and everything in life. He is persona personified and d most talented yet humble person one can ever cum across!!!!!!!!!! It's my Sandy Baba!!!!!!!!!!

Sandeep Agarwal: Sandeep aka Sandy Baba aka Mr. Perfect is the perfect embodiment of looks and talent. If not in law school, he would have seriously dented d careers of Dino and John!!!!!!!!! ( And dat is not a bakar!!!!!!!!!). His mere presence lights my life wid eternal happiness and serenity.

7 years back, when i first walked into the law school, i was overcome wid a lot of fear and anxiousness. New people, culture, environment, surroundings and how would i cope up??????/ As i sat pondering over dese questions in my hostel room, and was nearly in tears, a boy wid a lot of enthusiasim and energy entered into my room............... and he was full of life. "Hi, i am Sandeep, and i am from Raipur". This was the first line from this mesmerizing soul. His eyes had a glint, his enthusiasim unrivalled, his smile broad and his commitment to life seemed too absorbing. He had a charm and exuberance, which was simply awesome. As my fears vanished and i shook hands with this lad, i knew dat my life will never be d same and touchwood, am glad dat god gave me d greatest gift , which i could have ever asked for..........

The next 5 years wid him was a blast......... and a journey of a lifetime. Being d closest and best of buddies, there are innumerable memories, which just cannot be emoted in pen and paper. Late night bike rides, d Shanghai Rice wid Paneer Chilly at Chungfah, fultoo masti and bakaar 24*7 , ghastly PJ's penned by me and Sady Baba, whose often innocent targets were my buddies or Button and Taplu, d juice and lassi at Jaistambh Chowk, dose jokes, anectodes, mimicry  sessions, irritating Silli in d class, planning for events and organizing dem, daily shopping for Kundru and Kanda for Sandy's home are just some spices and memories, which has shaped up my life and fills me wid much elan and joy and which will live wid me for d rest of my life.

Sandy Baba is a true all-rounder and apart from being a good student and human being , his main passion and love in life was, is and will always be Cricket. The best hitter of the cricket ball in our University, i had d double privilege of playing along-side wid him but in an administrative role, for i was the Coach cum Manager cum all other roles which made me the Lalit Modi of d team (The good thing is, i never made any controversy unlike Lalit Modi!!!!!!!!!!!!). He was the captain of our semester team and a key member of the University team. I still remember d final of the T-20 World Cup, where i, Sandy Baba, Kandil and Tyagan watched and den rejoiced after India won d World Cup. His joy and happiness knew no-bounds and his smiling face after d final ball of d match remain sketched in d alleys of my heart wid utter clarity.

It's been 2 years since i and Sandy Baba left d law school, but his friendship and company gives me d greatest pleasure in life and all d strength, i need to survive in this maddening world. Be as you are Sandy Baba and miss u lyk hellllll............ u rock dude.............. and tum ho toh gaata hai dil..........  

Finally am dere!!!!!!!

My resonance!!!!!!!!! At last

Everyone says blogging is cool. i bet it surely is. If it not had been for the so-called "fake IPL player", blogging would have perhaps remained a proverbial anathema or mystery to most Indians. But i can assure you that i am no fake IPL player, on an under-cover mission to clandestinely and menacingly decipher the behind- the face images of the rich and famous. Nor, have i to do anything with cricket, for it has been ages since i last held a cricket bat, or sweated out vigorously, and with enthusiasm on a cricket field.

On the contrary, I am just one more netizen armed menacingly, with a so-called degree of law, who is supposed to take on the bad-bad world which awaits me at my every step of life, work in a Amarchand, AZB, Clifford Chance or some other suave law firm, earn big bucks, eat, breathe and speak law, keep a sleek Lappy (oops Laptop for the unsure!!!!!!!) I-pod and other techno and gizmo gadgets, make powerful and impressive PowerPoint presentations to hypnotize and impress the so-called Corporate honchos, drive around in a Merc or BMW, fly to exotic destinations on holidays, pump it out in the gym for that ultimate six or eight pack abs, have a beautiful girlfriend, wear the trendiest clothes, and become the ultimate hunk or cool-dude, which all of us aspire to become one day. .

But on the frail side, if only I could become any of this!!!!!!!!, as I am no cool-dude or a Soli Sorabjee in the making. I am just one more wannabe soul , who though is a lawyer, is still making out and contemplating his priorities and goals in life, which sometimes are more complicated and difficult to decipher than the Da- Vinci’s code, the mystery of Bermuda Triangle, or the ever-burning debate in India as to why Farah Khan thinks she is the smartest chump post TMK or what will A. Raja do with d crores of rupees (astronomical amount of money!!!!!!!!), and where did it all go...... So while all of us together ponder over all these questions, i promise you all that i will be back with some other intrepid thoughts and writings in my next post. Till that time, sayonara and goodbye.

The Sojourn begins

A big sorry to all my students, friends, mentors and colleagues for starting the blog late, but some prior commitments (as usual!!!!!!!), coupled with this lovely weather, which shamelessly made me more lazy and delayed the much awaited moment of the year!!!!!!!!!!! ( Just Kidding guys!!!!!!!!!)

This blog of mine is one of the first steps of re-discovering myself!!!!!!!!! Writing has always been my first love since high school , but since i passed out from the alleys of my law school,  life has been a roller-coaster ride and a metaphoric randezvous with tryst and destiny , wherein i always had a lame and stupid excuse for not writing or blogging.......... but now i must start being true to myself and do, what i love d most in life..........

I hope through this new chapter and beginning, a new era of self-redemption and discovery starts in my life!!!!!! Sayonara to all till my next post........
