Ajeeb daastan hai yeh...!

A lot of things seem to be strange nowadays to my eyes. "Aisa lagtha hain ki I have become addict to something". Things like the new Atif's video (doorieeeeeeeeee) which absolutely has no relevance to the lyrics of the song at all something which Mandira Bedi's fans would approve of her talk about cricket on Sony. Charu Sharma should get an award yar to tolerate her "export quality bakwaas" all through the telecasts.

There are few things that are more bizarre than seeing Sushma Swaraj entering the monsoon session of parliament in western casuals. Things are bizarre because issues that I think are important somehow turn out to be less important for others. Well everyone is a different identity and a different person all together but then we belong to the same species called the Homo-Sapiens and when I go out of the way to help someone I do expect the same from others but then these things sadly do not appear on the priority lists of most of my friends.


Things are "so-strange" phenomena did not end this dreaded weekend. However this weekend didn’t turn not be as dreaded as I expected, I was just minutes away from the cheating death with no food or water in my room .No room mates and me feeling as lazy as Kumabakaranan on Sunday morning who would have died of hunger on his bed but would not have pushed my ass to buy breakfast. Times like these I wish I was at home and mom had already made breakfast for me. I lazed around the whole of two days in the village where I stay except for a brief exercising session in the Infosys swimming pool and yes for all those who know me well and keep embarrassing me with questions like...

"Oh so u don't know swimming?" or "You should have learnt it in your child hood?" let me tell you one thing I am still learning it and I am not at all ashamed of the fact that "I DON'T KNOW TO SWIM". “Jo karna hain karlo jao ..!!!”

With no TV in my room and absolutely no company in this lonely desert where my room is situated with only summer heat to make things worse I would say my chota radio came in very handy. "WC nahi dekha toh kya hua .Top class commentary to sun lee."

This world cup final had been a very different affair for me.I felt strange that instead of watching it on television with the whole family for company I was listening to the commentary on radio.

Shuttling between Shakira's "Hips don’t lie" on FM and cricket commentary on AM. for all those illiterates and imported Aborigines.

FM stands for frequency modulation and Am stands for Amplitude modulation-“dekha scientists ki aulaad hu main !!!!”

Middle way I dropped it on the floor and the already rattling radio of mine started to behave strange. Here's an example of it. It disobeyed the laws of physics and mixed AM and FM waves and mixing it along with other channels on one single band.



AM: Aaj Australia ke Balebaaz dhudar form me dikya dere rahe hain .Gilchrist ke bale se jo bhi shot lag raha hain woh "Como si llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa" ho raha hain - shakira interefeering with the Am waves.


Every over and every six or four was sponsored by Nari swast seva or Mala-d.

AM:"Is over ke prayojak hain "Mahila swast kendre"- one of those ads on AM:
Voice 1: Mummy gulu ne mujhe mara isliye maine use phir mara
Mummuy: hey bhagwan mughe zher ki goli dil wade ,in bacho se main pareshaan "Oh baby when you talk like that You make a woman go mad"(Shakira again) ho gayi
hoon.
background voice: Arey sheila zeher nahi aagar baas ek goli bache karne se pehle khai hoti toh yeh naobat nah aati.
Message:Garb nirodak goliyan mahilao ke liye .Bache tabhi peda karo jab chaho.

I had a strange and a bizarre time figuring out what the score was. I had a taste of everything on one channel (dont even remember it in the dark on which frequency was it) from Shakira to cricket commentary to the sponsors’ adds.


For a mind as immature as mine the radio has reached heights of vulgarity. The only add that is broadcasted between overs of a match is that of a condom or a birth control pill. "Arey bhai aise addo se toh heart or brain donon fail ho jaya ga mera" .One of the add that almost disoriented every movement on mine was this

Voice 1 to the medical shop owner: Bhaisab zara "woh" dena.
Voice 2(owner of the medical shop):"WOH" kya?
Voice 1:"WOH" jo samne pada hain
Voice 2:arey bhai jaab condom use karne ki samajh dari dikha sakte ho to magne main sharmathe kyu ho.!

Message: AIDS se bachne ka ek ki tarika condoms apnao!!!.

Are bhai explicit content like this can throw kids like me out of gear. Strange that the people don’t feel the same. Ajjeb hai duniya ,yeh duniya wale . Ajjeb hain mera radio aur ajeeb hain Athif aur shakira. Ajeeb hain Australia jo kabhi WC final hi nahi harthi yar.
