Random Strokes

No wonder I’m starting this with word No wonder.   (Don’t misunderstand, Wonder Masala haven’t paid me for advt) Friends, Life, Dreams and… is truly a random article of Random Strokes not because of its virtue but for the way its being written. No googling for Casual category, no thinking for Strokes category, no imaginations for Derick Jefferson/Face 2 Face with Shashvat or no movie review for I never criticize. Simply writing whatever mind says. (Actually mind thinks.) Definitely reserved for D’s category and this is how actually Friends, Life and Dreams are… No preplanned activity. Truly ransome. (Random+Awesome) Friends are this, friends are that, friends are everything you say you bet. Too much have been said for friends and friendship and as always it still falls short. So I’m not going to add something to it. (And I know you don’t want me to do so.) Well, same is with life. Too much (And this time literally too much) have been said for life too. Dreams di...

The intended post of this month was a Derick Jefferson Case File. But an incident led me to pen this. (Actually I haven’t penned it but keyboarded it. Ok, bad PJ.) Sounds shocking what a donkey is doing here…? But this is what Random Strokes is all about. (Striking randomly, sometimes oddly…!) Since childhood everyone does it. No, I didn’t mean to do some idiotic. I meant everyone had written an essay on Donkey. And if not then this is your lifetime opportunity to read one. Let’s prasthan. A donkey has four legs, two ears, two eyes, one nose. Didn’t like this sentence? Check your old one year pic when you hadn’t learned to walk. Now this sounds familiar. Isn’t it? Ok, no more rubbish and turn to the realistic picture. Donkeys have always been a useful domestic animal. Never complaining for whatever you feed, however you keep or whenever you ask to workout. Still they always have been neglected in manners of smartness. This is their fault of being obedient. (Same is with the employees...

Disclaimer: The post is totally fictitious and resembles no real interview. Hello, aadaab, lei ho, aloha, ciao, vanakkam, salaam Namaste. This is your favourite host Shashvat Saxena back again with yours all time favourite show…  Face 2 face with Shashvat Saxena. Interlude drum… As always I’ll begin the show with a question that I’ll answer at the end. And that question is… Which format of cricket is an edible item? Think about it and let me call the guest of honour today. He’s the heart of nation, the coolest man and not the most eligible bachelor now. Please welcome the captain of Indian Cricket Team Mr. Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Interlude Trumpet, with clapping. SS: Hello sir. It’s nice to have you here. (Than in stadium especially looking at your batting nowadays) Dhoni: Thank you Shashvat. (Even I feel safer here…)  SS: You must have been reached here via Helicopter. Dhoni (Amazed): How you come to know that? SS: How else you could be? We have...

“And so…, Hold on, when there is nothing in you, except the will…, which say, Hold on…” Repeating my favorite words by Rudyard Kipling and clarifying that yours this month’s quality reading is sequel to my favorite post #16: On the edge. Just that after Indian Secularism _ Part 2, I didn’t want to exhibit that the season runs on the sequel and that’s why named Miles to go instead of typical On the edge _ Part 2. Miles to go… The words have much more hidden within compared to what they reveal, emphasizing the significance of coma… It’s not over yet. You know it’s going to happen. All you have to do is to have patience. Timeless, endless… Having your all faith in yourself, you keep walking ahead though with a broken, blooded leg. You endure because you know its worth to endure. Giving your lifetime for the uncommon, rare, toughest path and that road less travelled make you differ from others. “Life is not to work for brand names; life is to make your name a brand.” Stealing the dia...

“Jay bharat sathe janavavanu ke…” was the method to begin any letter years ago. But I’m not here to discuss the letter writing methods. I’m here to deliver “yours once a month quality reading” of January. (That we started from October) In the beginning of Jan, when I checked the stats for (Your favorite) RS, I found #08: Indian Secularism as the most viewed post (Stats may have been changed at the time of posting) and hence decided to deliver part 2 on none other than the Republic day itself. “Where to begin…?” is just not the question because you can begin from anywhere on any topic and these bloody politicians and their so called intellectual hypocrite media will lead it to secularism. The latest example is of BJP hoisting Indian Flag in Kashmir. While the Bharatiya Janata Party said the plan to fly the flag in Srinagar, the summer capital of revolt-torn Kashmir, to mark India’s Republic Day on Wednesday, was a patriotic right; the government dismissed it as a political stunt ahea...

Hi to all. Know what’s on your mind but let me confess, this ain’t also a promoting post for Maanas (Post production has just started so will do so at right time.) or this isn’t review of recently released No Problem or Band baaja baarat. “A film of the Lifetime…” is actually much more than any of the film. (Including mine ones too…) Wanna know what it is? Let’s find out. Let’s plan a movie for this weekend. (Know I’m posting this on Sunday so you can consider it for next weekends.) There’s no need to do advance booking in any multiplex or to turn on your home theatre or laptop to see this film nor you need to buy any pirated CD/DVD (which you either shouldn’t) to watch it and just not need to worry about your money for paisa vasool guarantee of the film. Trust me, its guaranteed paisa vasool. All set. This Sunday night (just a night before another hectic schedule for next week…) after your supper, start watching this film. (You’ll visualize a trailer too while reading this post.) Yo...
