HER SOUL IS SCARRED

MELTING INTO ETHER

ITS ORIGIN…

SCARS OR MEDALS

ITS DIFFICULT TO SAY

THERE IS A HOLE IN MY HEART…

saw aaja nach le…

it was not a very good film… actually below average… but my post is not about the film… its about madhuri… the woman who danced into our hearts decades ago…

its about a woman who at 42 is ready to make a come back which not many actresses will do in an indian scenario…

she makes a come back and what she gets: whole bunch of audience and media trying to count her wrinkles, if they see one then they say oh! she is looking old yar, not the earlier charm, if they don’t see a wrinkle then “she must have gone for a surgery”

by the way i have never seen anyone discuss how old is salmaan khan, SRK, Sanjay Dutt or Amir Khan is… even if it is discussed it is done in a positive manner that look at this man, he is giving youngsters a run for their money… he is class apart blah blah…

and here is this woman, a superb dancer, no doubts about that, she can put all these Kareenas, Aishwaryas and Ranis to shame… what is she getting… have our sensibilities become that skin deep… if thats the case then every aging woman should kill her husband or boyfriend before they start counting lines on their forehead…

and i guess its a global phenomenon, where no one is happy with what they are some want big boobs, some will die for white skin…

i wish we were like animals spotted and furry… would have solved lot of problems… at least there would have be no pressure to look in a certain way… or who knows we would have devised ways to make a certain kind of fashionable spots…

its been one of the most painful experiences i’ve ever had as a consumer.  i bought a Tata Sky equipment almost 5 days back and since then its been a high blood pressure exercise for me… after buying the tata sky box my parner must have called them some 20 times before he could get connected to their installation department… but this was just the beginning of the bad ordeal that awaited us… after us almost begging them to come and install the box, their engineer appeared and said that he needs to drill the dish on top of the building; i was a little surprised as i’d told the person who was talking to me on phone that its not possible to install the dish on building roof as it is not allowed and they will have to do it on the window ledge, which is pretty big. anyway so this engineer said that he will need a mount for the purpose, which will cost me rs.500, i said perfect no problem but i’d like to get a bill on that, to which he said “bill toh nahi milega, bill nahi hota” i felt that it is some thing fishy… so i told him to leave unless he decides to sell the mount with proper papers…

day passed, no one called from the Tata Sky side, next day my partner again called them and again it took some 20 min to get connected to some body who would take any action on the matter, before he spoke to some 5 people who had no idea of what is happening… finally they said that it will be done right away and gave us the time- in next two hours… but no one came, neither a phone call telling us that they will not come… we called again, they promised to come within two hours (i’m excluding the trouble in calling them just to avoid monotony), and guess what they didn’t come… finally fuming we call again and they said that probably the engineer was not free… we wasted our whole day doing this… then they called and promised us to take up the matter next day…

the following day i get a call from them early in the morning when i’m leaving for work that they would like to come right now i told them that they should come in the evening after 7, i was told ok; then through out the day i kept getting calls from them i repeated my self some 20 times that i work during the day and wont be able to make it before 7 so they should come after 7… finally i waited from 7 to 10 for them to come but they didn’t come… i was losing my head…

then comes the icing on the cake, last night they called again i was delighted but it was short lived; their person told me that their engineer had come and i had refused him rs.200 which he needed for cable, now as far as my education goes i know the difference between a cable and a mount and that rs.200 is different from 500 and the difference between bribe and genuine business transaction…

so so far no one has come and i hope to throw the Tata Sky thing in the garbage bin thats where it belongs. they are inefficient, fraud, callous

anyone who is planning to buy it pls  DO NOT…. they are cheats…
