What a X-mas! with good news!

Well...today has been a surprisingly good day! Quite opposite to what one would have thought when u find yourself locked in ur home in the morning!!

Thats how the day started! Some child had locked us from outside! So had to knock to get it opened when someone comes there! but then onwards....everything went well! Reached off...and read the mail....with BIG BIG good news...saturdays are off now ...!! this much awaited long pending demand has been finally met by our HR! I reached office quite early and everyone was so so so so happy after this news, it was like festive environment!

Then I went to tata memorial hospital, and the doctor told me that my relative which have been operated for Cancer, is OK and can go back to home, without any need of radiotherapy or chemotherapy!!

then...work went on very smoothly in office! returned home....and what a match win for India!! he he...:-) so, the day is ending well too!!

Merry X-Mas to all!

Have fun...enjoy!

general updates!

Quick updates on why being so late for posting new blogs!

1 - non availability of comp at home.
2. Non- availability of time

have been busy even on week ends....first, my relative's marraige related thigns were going on..went with them to Virar (first time after hearing about the place so much!)...full day went in that only. Next week end, they came to our relatives place and so, again full day went in catering to them! However, all is well when it ends well. So, the maraige is finalized and everyone is happy :-)

however, I ensured that I didnt miss palying badi on week ends...so made sure I woke up early and finished my quota of games before I had to leave for these arrangements.

After that another of my relative, who is in mumbai to get operated for cancer, arrived. Spent some time with him, donated blood for him and finally he has been operateed and god willin, should be fine. I m hopeful.

last week end, finally got some time to take rest ..and I took that time forcibly. Put some work to rest and slept ...seems sleep is going away from me. after so long time, I tried, but could not sleep much. Anyways, it was much needed small but refreshing sleep I had on sunday!

Next week end - seems will go in shoping and meeting the builder to resolve issues before my flat registration.

U ppl have fun!

What a special evening!

Last evening, was special one!

I booked a ticket to Jagjeet singh live concert. and boy, it turned out to be such a great show! The show started late and so I cud join before starting as I arrived 30 min late. but once the show started, it was like everyone tapping his/her foot continuously some of them rhyming with Jaggu da and one after another, hits kept coming out of Jaggu da's group.

there were only 6 ppl in his team...1 on guitar, one on baansuri, one on table, one on dholak, sitar and electric guitar each. All of them one by one, played so well that one was wondering if only one instrument was being played, or can a human really play it so well!

HE started with Sarfarosh fame "Hoshwalon ko khabar kya"..and then came ...one by one, jhuki jhuki si najar, aapko - dekh kar dekhata rah gaya, chitthi na koi sandesh...and so on!! ppl were simply mesmerised to say the least..a lot of them tapping their feet naturally!

After 2 hours of continuous singing, when he was tired, he simply made the whole audience sing for him....two songs (tum itna jo muskura rahe ho and hothon se chhu lo tum ) and promptly used signs from his hand to remind ppl of line and everyone was following him like in a trance. Even me, who generally like to keep silnet, was singing..all ppl, more than 3000, were singing and singing seriously, in sync...without any practice...just because of his mastery on how to deal with audience...in fat ppl were so impressed by his hand signals that they clapped a lot on his signals !!!!

and what was most surprising was his sense of humour ....mind blowing to say the least...he hardly said more than 15-20 words..but that made us simle at least 15-20 times ...! just a word..or a movement...at the right time...unexpected! but having the same result....audience ending up in big roar of laughter!

Before closing..one more observation. In this age when ppl think gajal is dying, one needed to b thr to see...most of the audience was young, enjoying as well as appreciating!!

Jai ho jaggu da...keep gajal gayaki alive!

PS: I recorded the songs till my cell got discharged!
