Another Way to Die !!
Another ringer with the slick trigger finger
For Her Majesty
Another one with the golden tongue
Poisoning your fantasy
Another bill from a killer
Turned a thriller to a tragedy
CHORUS
A door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Oh, someone that you think that you can trust
Is just
Another way to die
Another tricky little gun
Giving solace to the one
That will never see the sunshine
Another inch of your life sacrificed for your brother,
In the nick of time
Another dirty money “heaven sent honey”,
Turning on a dime
CHORUS
Well, a door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Someone that you think that you can trust
Is just
Another way to die
(it's just another)
Hey! Another way to die!
(Another way to die…)
Shoot ‘em, bang bang!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh…
Another girl with her finger
On the world singing to
you what you wanna hear?
Another gun thrown down and surrendered
Took away your fear
Hey!
Another man that stands right behind you
Looking in the mirror
CHORUS
Oh, a door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Someone that you think that you can trust
Is just
Another way to die
It’s another way!
Shoot ’em up, bang bang!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
(Another way, another way…)
Yeah!
(Another way, another way…)
Bang bang bang bang!

All the best, junies !
As you all would be entering a completely new phase in your lives &
careers in the next few hours, let me take this opportunity to wish
you all the very best and hearty congratulations in advance, for doing
so great !
Yes, it would have been a tough time...a rather painful and torturous
one for some of you...figuring out which stream to take, which company
to focus on and most importantly, what to do in these market
conditions ! I am sure the decision would have been tough & yes, a
rather introspective one as well !
For now, the time has come when the results would unfold & you would
be a different person altogether - but yes, do remember...
The journey has just begun !
Listening to the stories about some of us (and remembering the times
when we celebrated this day together last year), you would have known
- life (or i should say, the economy) takes many turns...less up,
mostly down ! What we have seen has taught us, and is still teaching
us, everyday...what matters at the end of the day is...who you are &
what you believe in !
So, go ahead...take this "small" decision today (of joining yet
another organization...or shall i say, institution) & live the
experience !
Believe me, nothing is as good as it seems on Day 1...at least, the
economy doesn't allow you to think so ! But yes, experience is worth a
lifetime !
Live this experience !
Enjoy it !

Is baar nahin
Is baar jab woh choti si bachchi mere paas apni kharonch le kar aayegi
Main usey phoo phoo kar nahin behlaoonga
Panapney doonga uski tees ko
Is baar nahin
Is baar jab main chehron par dard likha dekhoonga
Nahin gaoonga geet peeda bhula dene wale
Dard ko risney doonga,utarney doonga andar gehrey
Is baar nahin
Is baar main na marham lagaoonga
Na hi uthaoonga rui ke phahey
Aur na hi kahoonga ki tum aankein band karlo,gardan udhar kar lo main dawa lagata hoon
Dekhney doonga sabko hum sabko khuley nangey ghaav
Is baar nahin
Is baar jab uljhaney dekhoonga,chatpatahat dekhoonga
Nahin daudoonga uljhee door lapetney
Uljhaney doonga jab tak ulajh sake
Is baar nahin
Is baar karm ka hawala de kar nahin uthaoonga auzaar
Nahin karoonga phir se ek nayee shuruaat
Nahin banoonga misaal ek karmyogi ki
Nahin aaney doonga zindagi ko aasani se patri par
Utarney doonga usey keechad main,tedhey medhey raston pe
Nahin sookhney doonga deewaron par laga khoon
Halka nahin padney doonga uska rang
Is baar nahin banney doonga usey itna laachaar
Ki paan ki peek aur khoon ka fark hi khatm ho jaye
Is baar nahin
Is baar ghawon ko dekhna hai
Gaur se
Thoda lambe wakt tak
Kuch faisley
Aur uskey baad hausley
Kahin toh shuruat karni hi hogi
Is baar yahi tay kiya hai
... Prasoon Joshi

Indulge @ Delhi
Pebble Street, New Friends Colony...Decor & Dining at its best !
Big Chill at Kailash Colony...Same old saga !
HCF from Nirulas...Enough Said !
I love Delhi for its SPACE !
They say - one can only live old times in memories but i guess my recent trip to Delhi proved them wrong ! After May 2006 (around 3 weeks before i joined TAPMI), it was 25th Oct 2008, when i touched Delhi after a very very long time at 1 in the morning. Thanks to flight delays from Mumbai, the festive season surely made sure that i get a Baaaaaaaaaad Mood...before reaching Delhi! But there i was at 1 in the morning...standing outside the newly renovated Delhi Airport...calling out to the pre paid taxi guy..."ITO jaana hai bhaiya!" and he was more than eager to take me!
You have no idea what i did the next day...after a late breakfast, i set out to relive Apni Dilli !! Metro from Pragati Maidan to Barakhamba Road and then a long walk around CP, Janpath, my old ING office, Palika Bazaar ... Oh, who doesn't want to shop at CP!!!? Another train from Rajiv Chowk to DU got to close to my first love in Delhi...St Stephen's College...Walking around college after a long time was great pleasure. Reading Thampu's notices and Watching people sleeping under the treat reminded me on Chilly Winter Afternoons in 2002!!!
Manu was right (a great pal from Lehman)..."Dilli jayega or Momo's Point ka momos nahi khayega???" Of course, i shall have it...and add a Fruit Beer to it as well ! The corner Egg Roll wala guy recognised me i think...he was smiling when i passed him, giving my usual Burp!
"Do saal mein toh jyada nahi badla saahab !" ... the Bhel wala guy tells me, handing me over the Extra Large Bhel ka plate...yes, the quality of his plates has improved but the taste is the same...i remember saving 7 bucks every day to have one plate in the evening, during exams! Back home at 6 pm, i was a satisfied man!
Next day, Sunday was another story !
Thanks Pallavi for great company...Lunch at Big Chill...Damn, i didnt know it has shifted from East of Kailash to Kailash Colony...but the decor is the same...Grilled Breast of Chicken has of course become costlier --- Antara, any memories?? A walk down the Select City Walk Mall post lunch was a good treat...SHOPPED AGAIN...and followed it with a movie ... BODY of LIES....isn't Leonardo repeating himself?
Day 3 was a late start day again !!! A GREEN Diwali celebration is another story...
The next few days have been the most memorable days of my life...i can say they are more memorable than my secret Bangalore trip in Oct 2004. Selective choice of activities made it more special----
Shopping for home at Dilli Haat, Bought curtains and bedsheets from Lajpat, Another Lunch at Big Chill with Antara, An awesome Chinese Dinner at Moet's, A silent dinner at Nirula's followed by the Legen...Wait for it....Dary Hot Chocolate Fudge, An evening with Antara's office people at CCD, a movie at NOIDA (HEROES !!!!) with Anirudh and Gang, A walk down PVR Saket, Relived Malviya Nagar market...haggling with Auto walas daily...Pani Puri for Antara at Haldiram...Bought sweets from Bengali Market and Pani Puri from Nathu's, Continental at Pebble Street, New Friend's Colony......Am i forgetting anything??
I am speechless...
I guess there is only line to summarise my experience...Siddharth's words at CCD Aurobindo College....
"I love Delhi for the SPACE"
Mumbaikars, listening??

Dear Resident,
The time we spent together, however long it was, meant the world to me. I would love to see you again, but unfortunately I cannot. You see, I... am a ghost.

Perhaps we will meet again in another decade, provided you keep your figure.
Until then, all my love from the beyond.
Barney

The Eight Clown Commandments
1. I will keep my acts, performance and behavior in good taste while I am in costume and makeup. I will remember at all times that I have been accepted as a member of the clown club only to provide others, principally children, with clean clown comedy entertainment. I will remember that a good clown entertains others by making fun of himself or herself and not at the expense or embarrassment of others.
2. I will learn to apply my makeup in a professional manner. I will provide my own costume. I will carry out my appearance and assignment for the entertainment of others and not for personal gain or personal publicity when performing for either the International club or alley events. I will always try to remain anonymous while in makeup and costume as a clown, though there may be circumstances when it is not reasonably possible to do so.
3. I will neither drink alcoholic beverages nor smoke while in makeup or clown costume. Also, I will not drink alcoholic beverages prior to any clown appearances. I will conduct myself as a gentleman/lady, never interfering with other acts, events, spectators, or individuals. I will not become involved in or tolerate sexual harassment or discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or any protected status.
4. I will remove my makeup and change into my street clothes as soon as possible following my appearance, so that I cannot be associated with any incident that may be detrimental to the good name of clowning. I will conduct myself as a gentleman/lady at all times.
5. While on appearance in makeup and costume, I will carry out the directives of the producer or his designated deputies. I will abide by all performance rules without complaint in public.
6. I will do my very best to maintain the best clown standards of makeup, costuming, properties, and comedy.
7. I will appear in as many clown shows as I possibly can.
8. I will be committed to providing an atmosphere free of discrimination and harassment for clowns of all ages to share ideas and learn about the art of clowning.
