From: mumbai, maharashtra, India
About me: Hey Guys this is Nitin Pandita, blogging my way through boredom...;-) MY Funda is... “Borrow money from a pessimist - they don't expect it back!!!”
More..
Weakness, feeling chilly, and after about half an hour the thermometer reads 100 degrees.
No I am not writing this to prove what a weakling I am!
All these conditions plus some kinda stomach upset forced me to the doc!
All right before you puke, ill take the topic further!
So I am at this place called ‘clinic’, and it’s surprisingly a place where someone could catch malaria easier than standing beside an open gutter!
So I am sitting on this table waiting for my turn and the atmosphere as everybody is aware in a clinic is nothing but depressing!
But hey i was not feeling depressed, surprising haan!
Okay so I am the fourth person in the line, what kept up my mood was, the rest three of the guys were in a situation worse than mine!
One was feeling so cold that he could have wrapped all the sweaters in the world!
Pardon me for the hyperbole!
The other two were suffering from severe viral fever (no I am no doc).
Yes I did feel good, coz there were other guys beside me who were in a condition worse than mine! It’s surprising what effect can other’s plight have on a person.
I think there are possibly three cases:
1. MOVED: well I guess this is the case with most of us, since many of us don’t
have a heart of stone. Are you moved by a beggar’s constant bugging
to put a hand in your pocket to reach for your wallet?
2. UNPERTURBED: you believe it’s a way of life, if one is rich or prosperous or
better off the other is equally poor in all the above things.
3. STRANGE FEELING OF HAPPINESS:
You believe it’s a rat race out there and one can’t help if one is
better off, and you are proud of it!
Hmm..so which category do you belong to????
Sorry SHIV not feeling well so couldn’t make this one *big*!..;-)

Now since it’s a habit, i always end up mentioning on how i end up with such great, truly awesome, mind boggling, and donno what what boggling ideas!! this time it aint gonna be different i thought of this piece in a local train..yes our very own crowded, stinky local train, where you end up with smelling what kinda deodrant your co-passenger has used(thats if he has used at all..else..ur in for a treat!)
So the point is i saw BOURNE ULTIMATUM the other day, and unlike my friend i was not at all mesmerized by the stunts that the character 'Jason Bourne' performs. Surprising?? my take---
It’s high time the Hollywood recognises us read INDIANS as super-heroes in every sense!!
Still surprising??? okayyy..
Well a normal person crosses a street on a given day at least 4 times..right..
Here in INDIA crossing a street is nothing less than a stuff of a super-hero!!!
Imagine dodging the street cars zipping by, meanwhile taking care of vehicular traffic coming in direction which they are not supposed to!!! plus further problems for guys who are busy 'eyeing'(if i may use that word) beautiful indian women!
Next, boarding or getting down from a packed running train, ask how many Hollywood heroes have done that!!!
(Okay they don’t have trains with open doors in first place..never mind that cant steal us of our super-hero image!)
Have you ever asked a foreigner on how is it to drive on our roads???
Immediately a trickle of perspiration would run down from his forehead!!!
We have our very own Fast And Furious guys!
Well it wont be wrong to say but every second in INDIA a super-hero is born!!!
And to prove that further you need to watch..Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish...(minus the aliens and the heroines and...ehh crap!!!)
Conclusion: The World does not need a super-man, spiderman or catwoman...all it needs is
INDIA with more than billion super-heroes..;-)

Other than the specifications and the price of the car what excites me is the people’s response!
The other day my mom told me this….
(An excited rickshaw-waalah parks his rickshaw near a Maruti 800 at a traffic signal)
Rickshaw: AYEE Maaruutii!!
Tere din pure ho gaye!..ab toh hum bhi nano lenge!!! (grin grin)
Maruti guy simply looks on perplexed with a half smile on his face!
He couldn’t fathom why did this rickshaw driver decide to open his mouth and comment about his favorite maruti in the first place!!!
Later upon understanding the poor guy’s enthusiasm he returned him a half-hearted smile!
Apart from this the other day I just read an article in HINDUSTAN TIMES about the effect of NANO on the environment and all…
So lets have an imaginary conversation of Ratan Tata and an environmentalist….
Imagine Ratan Tata is a cool dude and not a big shot industrialist!..;-)
Environmentalist: Congratulations Mr. Tata, you have made quite an exceptional car with
your limited resources!
Ratan Tata: Haan Haan pata hai...chal point pe aa!!!
Environmentalist: Tata’s have produced quite an in-efficient car like TATA INDICA in
recent past…how do you think you would convince ur consumers that
NANO wont be the same?
Ratan Tata: Well had INDICA been in-efficient we wouldn’t have sold so many cars!
Huh!?!
Environmentalist: Mr. Tata having so many cars on the streets however small in
Dimension, will have a huge impact on the natural resources as well as
the pollution levels!
Ratan Tata: I think TATA has done lot of social work in the past..havent u seen TIFR,
Cancer research institutes, the money we have put in field of sports( when
other companies have never looked beyond cricket), giving INDIA a city like
Jamshedpur!
Including this, putting INDIA on the world map with this car!
Environmentalist: Well ehh umm I---I sirr just meant to..ehh..ask you few qns!
Ratan Tata: allright then that’s enough, tell me when are you buying my car?
Environmentalist: ehh..thankyou sir for your time!!!
:-D
P.S. I came up with this idea all thanks to geet!..;-)

Recently while chatting over with my cousin sis, it dawned over me how many people loved to call me by my name!
My name is a palindrome and yeah the uniqueness ends then and there itself!
Ok so my story starts now…..
I was in 1st standard in city of jammu that’s my native place, was there for my summer holidays, not a great place to be during summer, Though my fun-loving cousins made it a relatively pleasant stay. So one fine morning mom tells me wear nice clothes we are going for some pooja. What pooja??????????
Ehh..some pooja. Who cares??? As it turns out it was a naming ceremony, I never understood the worthiness of that ceremony considering that I was named around 5 yrs before that ceremony took place…nevertheless four of us(cousins) including me sat around that heat-emitting, furnace like yagna!
And all that pandit cared was asking for our names and performing some strange yagna, not bothering to check up with our perspiring faces!
It started with my sis…he went on lengths to explain what a beautiful name she had and the meaning of her name. He was damn impressed, yeah just by the name!
Hearing her being praised so much, me a self-obsessed little kid got ready to bask in some glory of my name!
But what followed was a complete shocker!
He paused for a minute and then said….
‘nitin’ yeh kaisa naam hota hai????????..:-O
As i looked towards my mom in disbelief, felt a sudden urge to go around that yagna and smack that guy, who was supposedly a learned man!
Had he said those words now, I would have surely sued him!!!
This incident is kinda etched in my memory now!
Well close friends and relatives call me with plethora of names…
Tintin (good they don’t call me snowy!)
Qazi(long story behind it)
Nits
Nitzi
Pandit (dare you call me by this name)
So that’s my NAME STORY…wats urs??????????
P.S. Started reading Sidney Sheldon..reading his works for the first time…and of the 80 pages that I have read, I think he is very sexist *Nitin’s special take*

(I know P.S. is supposed to be at the end!..but its my blog and everything about it is unconventional!)
Well if you are wondering what that headline is for, that’s what I heard when I checked up on STAR NEWS in the evening(with the background score- kambakht ishq hai wooh…) with the above headline screaming in as
BREAKING NEWS!
It was about Yuvraj Singh and how he’s form had suddenly dipped after Deepika Padukone had come in his life..it went on to make references to his previous gf’s…as if we were interested! But hold one, somebody was that’s why that channel was still being viewed! Inspite of my repeated protests mom and dad did not switch the channel!
Their logic --> it is fun!!!!!!!!!!!
There was a time when I used to be glued to the news channel (thats when I used to wrench loose nuts of my bicycle). Then came ZEE NEWS promising to deliver accurate news with no biasing, unfortunately that was not to be!
Plethora of news channels followed on the same lines and I believe Indian Journalism has lost its path after that!
But are they really to blame for this masala viewing????
Well not really it’s an unfortunate reality that most of viewers want this mirch-masala to spice up their lives, which revolves around going about their mundane chores in nothing but a monotonous manner!
Meanwhile I can find solace only in newspaper where I choose to read what I read!

Ahem-ahem….my eternal best friend! Saala is doing MBA and is asking qns to me..so here goes the conversation…
(I am sure he’s gonna stab me 6 times…5 in the stomach and once there……..
use you’re wild imaginations buddy!)
Yash: Why are girls so pissed with Mallika Sherawat???
Nitin: OHH..humm!!!!..:-O
Yash: Dude had this shit thing going off in my MBA class-room. Now gimme a proper
Diplomatic answer!
Nitin: 0o0okk!
Well…girls hate the fact that their boy-friend(s) think MS is sexier than them..:-D
Yash: Abey FUPU gimme a nice answer, that I can give in the class!
And that’s expected of u!
Nitin: Dude you need to ask a girl for this!
Yash: ok next, what will you do if you are stuck in an elevator with Bipasha Basu???
Nitin: I would prefer to get stuck with Maria Sharapova!
Yash: Damn u! @#$%^&!!
Now you have to give me a proper answer!
Whats the difference between lust and love???
Nitin: hmmm, nice question (scratching my head)
Well for me its always love first, later lust doesn’t mean anything, its lust that takes
Up the form of love!!! watsay?
Yash: Yea man true, actually a guy in our class gave same answer and got appreciated!!
Nitin: All right that’s it, now lets talk about your girl!....;-)
P.S. waiting for my exams to get over, followed by lotsa reading! Trying to get my hold over ANNE FRANK’s diary! :-)
Well I was wondering whether the word ‘monkey’ is possibly racist!
(yea..i really opened that big fat dictionary!)
Never mind the meaning, coz I call people gadha(donkey), ullo da patha(son of an owl) ullo ki dum (tail of an owl) all the time!
I know I need to get better at this!
So the point is am I racist, few of my friends call me Bandar(monkey) too, thanks to my antics…so are they racist??????
Something or rather some word (reference) may be racist in one place, but need not be in other!
But on digging further I realized, we all have been racist at some point or the other.
Lets take an example of Sikhs, we crack sardar based jokes right on their face!
(luckily for us they take it with a smile)
The other day I heard some politicians abhorring the presence of UPites and Biharis, isn’t that racist?? Sometimes I have heard people criticizing Gujju food and all..is that being racist!!
Well well the question remains unanswered! , sorry even oxford cant do it for us!
