"I've been told my interns are very talented" boss said with a broad smile.
 I knew he wanted something out of us..
We had been summoned to our Commanding Officer's Cabin..

"Sir,you've been utterly misguided" I screamed out..Well,just thought of doing so..

He went on to tell us how a certain Organisation comprising of the better halves of the 'Men of valour who guard our seas' was organizing an event where we had to represent our Hospital teaming up with a few others.

We were pushed into it and we accepted it hoping it would be a play/drama coz neither of us can dance for our lives..Not that we had much of a choice,anyway...

Surpise,surprise..It turned out to be a Group dance and I finally got on stage for dancing for the 1st time after class 3...Days of rehearsals ensured we had plenty of fun and of course,made some new friends...

However,the silver lining in this assumed cloud came in the form of another oppurtunity...The same event had another competition where any one of a married couple had to repropose to his/her spouse in a min...

An idea I floated caught the Junta's fancy and I had the chance to write and direct for the first time ever...Just a one min thing,but the joy of seeing my creation being enacted on stage was thrilling...And guess what??...I managed to get our hospital dermatologist do it for his wife..

Here's what I wrote

The Plot

Dialoguebaazi



Different ending??...Well,the lady who proof read this certainly felt so

P.S.-Wondering what the results were??....Well,we didn't win...but maybe I did..Afterall,I saw my creation enacted on stage..

As I pen these lines,my facebook &  twitter timelines are flooded with updates about how ‘The Dark Knight rises’ has finally given a fitting finale to the World’s most loved superhero… However,for someone who’s waited so eagerly for the final movie in Nolan’s Batman trilogy,my mind’s been strangely pre-occupied.. At 10 in the morning,surfing through news to bide my time through attendance,the headline of Rajesh khanna’s demise had little effect on me..I had never been a Rajesh Khanna fan,my tryst with his movies restricted to some of his lesser known movies & only a few of his classics.. In hindsight,I’d say my sensibilities at that age just weren’t good enough to appreciate ‘Classic Bollywood’… How could I??...My parents were still in college when ‘KAKA’ was at the height of his unparalleled career…Having witnessed the hysteria & frenzy he generated in those days ,(something which led to the epithet ‘superstar’ being coined & used first time for a Bollywood st...

A long hiatus it has been ....part lazy,part busy,part distressed…its all been happening in the previous month or so…what you are about to read was started a month ago during vacations and lying unfinished ever since…so what made me finally take it up??..Time??..nah!!..I’ve always had enough time to scribble...Just that I needed to write this time to get some peace,a feeling which nothing but writing gives me … _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ Mood-thoughtful / confused….okkay!!..I’ll go with ‘confused’ Whats on??- 6 monthly 15 day vacations…. With AFMC choosing to close for vacations when every other university/college has exams,there isn’t much scope of hanging out with like-minded people of a similar age-group,leave alone buddies from school ..sigh!! Add the unbearable heat to the equation and you have an almost impossible situation... This usually happens to me during vacations….I run out of ideas as to how to ...

hiiiiii(jacker). .......try singing it....... hiiiii(jacker) ...funny??...I know its not but then the guy 4 whom it was made wasn't either.. STRIKE 1 - "hi!i'm capt. Dhiresh Chandra 4m the merchant navy,father of Lt. Niraj chandra". ...I looked up and saw a portly,stout man.White beard and glasses in place. A huge belly and heavily strapped legs gave me some indication of his problems. "hello sir!i'm med cadet hitesh 4m AFMC". ...pleasantaries exchanged,he proceeded 2 his bed. A new day....uncle(for my convenience,we call him uncle 4m nw)gets up early and he seems to be on the lookout for something.... actually..he's on the lookout of 'someone'....and the funny part,which i later come to know-that 'someone' could be anybody...anybody who's in his senses and responds even slightly to whatever he's uttering.. that day...i turned out to be that person...not that i had the slightest intention of getting into a conversati...
