We, The Gori Chamdi Wale

Hi

This blog is dedicated to people like me. i.e. People with fair Skin(Or so called Gori Chamdi, Not Foreigners but basically North Indian), Shy and Single. Or  the SSS Gang. I am not racist! My friend list range from people from different states, countries and continents.

People have habit of assuming things. By just knowing their little background. Like All South Indians are Madrasies. Or all Malwadis are kanjus! Same like this I have noticed people assuming that if you are fair and say little handsome (No I am not Bragging about me! ) You have girl friend. This does not go for me alone. I know some more people in same criteria. Now tell me what do we do ? Its even worst for girls I think. But really what are to do in this condition? Hang a board from our neck what says “SINGLE READ TO MINGLE” ?

So what I come here to say is if you see us(I mean SSS gang.). Please don’t assume things come to us. Talk to us. Once you take the first step. Its quite easy for us. Its like work half done.

In India, there is big problem with the color thing. When ever I see Fair and Lovely Ads. It makes me feel sick to my stomach. What do they think they are saying to the common public that’s watching the Ad? Do they want to say only if you are fair you will be successful ? I dont know why Government even allows such ads. Do they know how much insecurity it brings in people’s mind? It really sad. Why should you buy Fairness Cream? I dont think anyone need one. You should be happy they way you are. And if Fair and Lovely Cream was not enough. They have brought another product in market. Called Fair and Handsome! Bull Shit. And to advertise it our so called great SRK comes. This is just my thought. I know most of the people have noticed this. (I wanted to add this paragraph. It had been in my mind for quite sometime.)

Untitled

Hi

Untitled. There are so many incidents in life that just happen in flash of second and are gone. Relations that last those milli seconds. I love it. These small small day to day incident just enlighten your day. And some time last longer than you expect them to last. I call them Untitled as I think these incidents were created by god to just keep us Happy and Guessing. They tell you that the love of your life is just a cornor away.

Now Let me not bore you with my psyhological shit. And get on to incidents.

One such Incident I already wrote about it. It is called Bulls Eye : The Shooting Competation . One of the most memorable incidents in my life. Though it was more than a day. It lasted a decade and more.

Similaryly once While catching a bus. My eye caught an attention when I saw a buddhist monk and his daughter walking by. She was beautiful. She did not notice me immedietly but after crossing me and going say 15 steps ahead she turns and gives a Smile. It’s not that she was seeing something else and smiling. No. She looked straight to my eyes. Smiled and went. I kept waiting for her to turn again she did not until she got into a bus. Kept her palm on last seat window as if telling me Good Bye. Damm… I was flattered. Oh What a memory. This happened in Coonoor Bus Stand when I was in School.(I dont remember the Class. )

Next incident is not about another beautiful girl or Some kind of love story exactly but It is quite clear in my mind. For some reason I have this incident in my head. Every Saturday I have my Breakfast in road side shop where they make Dosa. That day I was feeling home sick and bad about something I dont remember. I wanted to go home and was just angry at everything around me. While having Dosa a small girl comes to me and says “Bhaiya, Bhaiya”. I normally dont pay attention to beggers. I did not listen to her first then suddenly thought of my sister came. I called the girl gave her a dosa. It felt great. I was so happy after that Incident. I felt so proud. The happiness in the small girl’s eye still makes me happy.

Then there was Shopping Girls incident. It was quite funny. I was going to ATM on they way there is a show room of “United Colors of Benetton”. When I looked into the show room I saw there were two girls shopping. Checking out coths that were kept. I think they found what they wanted and were just showing each other their dresses. There was a small space beside the show puppets(I dont know what they are called. The statues that are dressed and kept for show.) These girls stood there and started giving poses. When I saw this I smiled at them. And they bursted into laughter. And so did I. It was one of the most funniest moment that just happened. Just like that out of thin Air.

There are many such Incidents. They cannot be Titled as something in Particular. But makes you smile when you think about them. These where some of mine. Will keep posting some more if I remember.

Hardeep Analysis

Hi

You must be wondering what is this about and who is this Hardeep? Hardeep Singh Virdi is my brother. An Amazing person and Cricketer. His repeated analysis on Team, Players and Matches were so Accurate that I had to keep a note of them. So the main topic We would be discussing  here is Cricket. It might be Team, Players, Matches, Series.

So Who is Hardeep and Why his Analysis?

Hardeep is one of the most amazing Cricketers that I have seen in my life. He is not a road side or so called gully Cricketer. He has had his share of lime light and touch of fame. He played for his school in many Inter-School Competitions. He is one of the Greats in his school. Who brought in lot of Cups. His confidence in facing any bowlers and the way he break down opposition strategies are simply amazing. I have never seen someone who is able to practically read the Game. When ever we watch cricket he knows what will be the reaction and decisions taken by some of the players. It’s just amazing to see that. I would have loved to see him in international arena playing for India. But just like many other great players in our country he is lost in chain of Society Circles.

So what we are going to do here is , We are going to post series of “Hardeep Analysis” on various Teams, Players, Matches Etc. Enjoy.

The Lost Team Pakistan

Hi,

Yesterday, I was watching match between Pakistan and England. England was amazing. Never for a minute they looked down because the lost their last match with the Netherlands. Their approach towards the game was simple aggressive cricket. The way Kevin Pieterson played was amazing. And he got very good company from Luke Wright too. Pakistan just had glims of spark in them every now and then. 

This is not the Team Pakistan that I know. The Pakistan team that I knew was aggressive. They never where great batsmen. (Other than Saheed Anwar. And little glims of Afarid’s Brillinace. Every now and then.) But man they had bowlers. They generated Pace machines like no other country. A Team that gave Cricket reverse swing. The Team that fought it through gave hard time to the opposition. If not every country atleast India. But seeing them just let go the warm up match. That was sad. They did not have the X Factor that normally we see in Pakistani Team.  I am not a Pakistani Supporter. I am an Indian. I want my team to win. But I enjoy the rivary India and Pakistan had on the field. That tough cricket they played on the field. Damn it was good to see that. What I want is a Final where India beat Pakistan. But I dont see that spark in pakistan team. I dont think they will make it to the super 8 itself. Pakistan team is lost in some other world. They should realize their strength. And theirs is Bowling. I think Bangladesh gave a better fight than Pakistan gave against India or England. Its high time they pull up their socks. Or they will say bye bye to the cup pretty soon.

I wanted to write this not  because I am Pakistan cricket supporter. I love my country and will aways support India. But the way Pakistan play cricket these days shows the mirror Image of whats going on in their country. I think there should be lot more determined than any other team in the competation. I am sure a win will help many people back home for them.  Yesterday, The interview given by Younis Khan was even more sad. Singling out your players in you team sends a wrong signal to the supporters. No matter how bad you do we must never single out any player and say he did not play well. You loose as a team You win as a team. Younis Khan should look up to players and Captain like Dhoni. And the way he projects himself and his team.

There is lot of work that Pakistan needs to do if they want to be in the tournoment.

IPL Practice for ICC World Twenty20

Hi

We kept hearing this from everyone. IPL is going to tire the players for the world cup. Teams coming fresh to the world cup have got more chances and all the crap. Seeing the results of past few games. I think its just the opposite. IPL has prepared the players for the world cup.

See the players who are performing. Most of them have been in IPL. The way Indian side played their first match against Bangladesh I was star struck! They never looked tensed. Just before 15th Over. I started thinking we are going to loose our very first match. And then we saw Yuvi make it look so simple. Not for a moment he looked angry frusted. He looked calm cool. Each of his shots were no slogs. They were clean cut shorts. With 18 ball 41 run. I knew there was no stopping India. See the way New Zealand is playing now. We all know their team to play hard cricket. But I think IPL has certainly helped them a lot. South Africa is totally in command of their game. IPL II was a blessing for them. All their players are sharp and in Twenty20 mood. Yesterday performers in England team were also main players in IPL. This is a slap to all those who thought that IPL will make them weak for the world cup. 

I am looking forward to exciting World Twenty20. I pray we win again. India India India. India bole Ane De.

The Rain , Romance and Aftermath

Hi,

Finally after a very long summer. Its raining here in hyderabad. Most of us here where waiting for Rain. Being in room on a weekend with no A/C is like punishing yourself. Now that the rain has come climate is amazing outside. Time to have some Hot Samosas with Hot Tea. If it rains little more  and climate is little more pleasant then it will be time to upgrade from Tea to Rum.

Now you must be wondering why am I talking about food. When the heading reads “The Rain, Romance and Aftermath”. Yeah I am coming to it. Rain always bring amazing feeling along with it. After long Summer when you get Rain its like God is blessing us. The smell of soil in rain. Cool wind that blows. Its so beautiful. It feels like you are falling in love with the nature all the suddenly. At school when ever it rained I used to stand just below the street light and see the light it used to be like golden drops are falling from the sky. It was one of the most amazing sights that I have noticed.

I always relate Rain with Romance. Rain is just like when you just fall in love. Its beautiful. You feel happy about it. You just want to get lost in it. Get drenched with the beauty of rain or love. Its like first Kiss. Or many Firsts…. Like hanging on in her arms. The warmth of her lap. Smell of her. Tough of her. Rain is exactly like a beautiful girl you are in love with. When it rains heavly its like she is angry at you for something.

But when this all ends what then? The Aftermath of Love and Rain is always bad. When you break up you feel bad. Heart broken. Alone. Angry. Mentally Broken and Down. There is immense hate in you.  After rain stops its water all around you. Ditches overflowing. Dirt all around. Mosquitoes finding there paradise to spread more diseases. There is muddy water in every corner. You walk you make your pant dirty. The same smell which you liked when it rained after some time bring dirty smell. There is no difference between Rain and Romance. They both are beautiful at the begining and both have a bad aftermath.

I dont know if I am right in my thought process. These thought came to me, when I was looking out of my window at the rain. I looked so beautiful to me. But when I thought about going to office tomorrow! My mood switched. I started thinking of what this rain is going to bring tomorrow. Hope you enjoyed this.

My First Rap Song

Hi

These are random lines that came to my mind that I noted down. This day particular I was very angry and torn down. Which made me write these lines. These might not be like a song but they are Random thoughts from my mind.

Here it goes :-

My Name is Jagdeep, mean light of the world,

Dont stare me like that or I will shoot you on the face.

….

I dont know what is wrong with the world,

Everytime I support its like I am on wrong road.

….

Dont stare at my turban , Its not lump on my head,

It’s a crown that I keep, Oh Lord in Thy name.

….

What have they achived ? to see at me and smile,

Did they never make mistake and had it pass by.

Who is he to say that I might not shine, I’ll kick him in his nuts and show who I am.

….

I had a dream that I would be a rich man, now I have only 100 of mine.

I always believed that, I was born to do big thing, But I sit in the corner , staring at black screen.

Everyone in this world have their own way, some stab on back, some slap on face.

….

Sometime I just feel to break down and shout, I wish I had someone to share my thought.

I dont know why there is no one to love, Anyone I love is ready to run.

I wish, that she know, the one that I love, I have never loved someone just for a buzz.

I wish she love me, like the way I do, may be we will get married and have a child or two.

….

I wish I had someone to say that they care,

It’s good to hear “I love you”. Every now or then.

….

My life has been a srew up from the start to the end,

Better I start to take account, before It brings me my end.

When I hear people say “You dont know this” , I wish to show them my painting and say “Can you do this ?”

Sometime I feel, to pop a pill and die, then I think of my partents sitting and crying.

….

I am a sikh and proud of my faith, I would give anything to keep my head straight.

I am not one to bow down my head, I would rather give my head than listen to them.

….

I am not a rapper and I might not even rhyme, I am not even a poet to write my own line.

But I am not a fool to just fade away. This is my First song to have my say.

 

Hope you enjoyed this. (I might add more to the song every now and then.)

Attack on Indian Students.

Hi,

Is Australia Racist Country ? I dont think any country can be tagged as Racist. There are always two kind of people every where. One that Welcome you with open Hearts and other who don’t. But does this apply for Australia ?

I dont believe entire Australia is Racist but there are people who are! Australians in general have an Aggressive nature. See them playing any game.  It may be Rugby or Cricket. You will hear slurs from them. See the way Andrew Symonds was shouting at new batsman on crease. Every time he crosses a batsman you would hear him shout at him. Commentator also mentioned Symonds fields , Bats , Bowls and also plays mind games.(I m talking about IPL final.)

I dont blame Australians for the way they are. Australia was an open Jail for British Colony. And I think they have come long way to call themselves a civilized society. 

Problem is every time the other party is wrong. When it was with Harbajan, he was racist not Symonds. Now even after 4-5 back to back incident. Government is not ready to take any action. They are like let some more people get hurt. Then we will see. To top this they arrested protesters. Great Job Mr Rudd. Its not the first time this is happening. I know some of my friends who go to Australia they say that when you go there. Some on the road will suddenly stop you and ask you money or ask you to buy cigarette. 

Globalization is there only in theories I dont know when people will start practicing it. If anyone is coming to your country taking your job. You go to some other country. If right now India,China and Philippines are place where Jobs are going then why dont you come here ? Why dont you search job there ? 

Racism will never go from this world until we learn to accept people around us for the way they are!  Australia need this lesson. They need to change their attitude towards people around them. 

(I dont say everyone in Australia are bad or Racist. There are some very good people too. My Article is not against them.)

Bulls Eye – The Shooting Competition

Hi

There are very few moments in life that make you jump up from your chair in overwhelming happiness. This was one such moment in my life. I would always remember this time of my life.

This happened when I was in 8th Standard. Studying in Brindavan Public School, Coonoor. The Schools in Nilgiris are amazing. We have all kind of competitions in sports. One such competition which was introduced to us was Shooting Competition. This was quite new to us. And which got everyone excited. To get a gun to shoot at something damn that should be exciting for anyone. It’s like you are in Army! Serving our country.

Now the story. Shooting Competition was held for two days. And it was held at our school. The first day went on well. I had my event. I did get some good shots but I was not that perfect like others. It was more like learning curve for me. That evening, I was seeing the score put up at our basketball court.(Shooting Competition was being held at our Basket Ball Court. Which is outside our school gate.) It was exactly at that time. GSPS bus was leaving our school gates. I just happen to see a girl looking at the Basket Ball court. I don’t think she was looking at me. But you know when you are young even if a good looking girl is seeing somewhere near you. You tend to assume that she is looking at you. Seeing this I got excited I waved at her. She smiled and waved back. My friends near by where like “Dude you rock man. That girl is waving at you”. Rest half of the day I was in cloud no 9. . Night I could not sleep and was eagerly waiting for the next day.

Next day I could not wait to see the girl. There were also some doubts in my mind that will this girl come for the competition again ? What if her event was over? In short period of time, I had thought about 100 possibilities. Anyway She came again. I saw her. Was quite excited about it. Wanted to talk to her but … I was too shy to talk. She was bold very very bold. She came and gave me a bubble gum when I was surrounded by my friends. Wait let me explain the situation there. I was sitting as Referee(My job was to give him bullets to shooter and change the shooting paper after each 5 bullets.) I was surrounded by my friends. She walked right into the crowd saying excuse me. Walked up to me. Said “Hey! Bubble gum.” Offering me Bubble Gum. I was struck by thunder bolt. All I could say was “Thank You.” After she left there was a roar. All my friend were like ” Who is she ? Jaggi”. And I had no clue. I didn’t even ask her name.

Next I had to give her something. I went bought a Nestle Charger. Went up to her said “Hi.” Gave her Charger. Asked her Name. Said her mine. Told Nice meeting you and left. (I could not talk much. You see, If you are spotted with a girl in School. Its a big thing. At least in our school it was. Plus all my teachers where at Basket Ball Court.). For the rest of the time all I could do was see her. Even she did the same. I went and played Volley Ball to show off. Then when everyone where moving to Assembly hall for Prize distribution. I moved there and started playing Table Tennis there. Thinking she would be impressed. Dont know if she noticed that. Even in Assembly hall our eyes met quite sometime.  She kept turning an looking at me. And I … I was looking at her all the time. Our English maám was sitting behind me. Seeing this she asked “Jaggi whats going on ?”. I just smiled. Soon Prize distrubion was over. We all headed our ways. Again all I could do was wave her Good Bye.

I wish I could have talked more. I saved that Bubble gum paper for quite some time. Searched her photo in her school magazines. I even happen to send her a letter. I waited for her reply. Then Finally the Crush ended. Though thinking of her made me all excited and laugh even now. 

Last year, I was googling my name. Just checking what on Google about me. Suddenly I dont know what struck me. I thought let me type in her name and check. And there we go! I thanked Google and Internet. I saw her name in her school’s Website. Finally I though she was for real. I searched her in Facebook and there she was!!! I cannot tell you how Excited I was. She accepted my friend’s Request. I mailed her telling about the that shooting competition And we laughed about that day. Now she is my very good Friend.
