Rashmi F 26 . Tussi Yaad aoge .

My finger slided down and rested on the name . Rashmi F 26 . Seat 44 .

It was like one of those Uday Chopra Fantasies from Dhoom . Me and Rashmi F 26 on a bike with our two golu molu kids stuffed between us Me and Rashmi F 26 running around trees and bushes and ponds . Me and Rashmi F 26 doing a lot of stuff commonly captured in the pages of cheap hindi magazines . ( Have you grabbed the Jan edition of Madhur Kathayein ? For total satisfaction :p ) .

I snapped out of the Chopraish Fantasy , thanked god for granting me the luck to have a young lady next to me on this train , and granting me the wisdom to take a bath earlier this day ( Yup , I read on the internet that hygiene ranks pretty high on the list of attributes women want in a man . I have spent 60% of my waking hours in a bathroom post that article ).

Two hours later , as I sit scruched in Seat 45 of Coach 10 , Shatabadi , I have a newsbreak for you – Rashmi F 26 has been exchanged seats with a Bald-Guy-Who-Snores-and-sleeps-with-open-mouth M 45ish . Abbe saale , yehi seat mili thee tujhe exchange scheme chalane ke liye ?? Rashmi F 26 to seat 49 par settle ho gayi…Oh shucks , he just turned his head towards me and I think the warm gusts of air I feel on the back of my neck are his breaths . Definitely no Uday Chopra fantasies right now . Jhonka Hawa Ka seems an incredibly meaningful song right now .

Talking of music , I recently chanced upon this from Billu Barber –

Love Mera Hit Hit
Tu fir kaisi Khit Pit
Tu Baby Badi Fit Fit
Fir Kyun aisi Khit Pit

Now , I would like to declare my total commitment to this song . I mean , its on my ipod and if Rashmi F 26 would have seated next to me today , I would have looked into her Cheel , err, Jheel See Aankhein and said “Tu baby badi fit fit” . But I really wonder what kinda time is consumed in writing such lyrics .

I mean , I can imagine ..

Song Writers wife : Suno Jee , kya subah se Chaarpai tod rahe ho . Chalo , utho aur naha lo . Maine geyser on kar diya hai , 15 minute mein paani garam ho jayega .

Song Writer ( Jo Chaadar lapete charpai par leta hai ) : Offo , tum bhee na bhaagwan….accha chalo ek paper aur pen de do

Song Writers wife : Arre maine kaha na , 15 minute mein paani garam ho jayega . Abhi likhne kyun baith rahe ho ?

Song Writer : Offo , behas karna to tumhari aadat hai . Paper Pen do , 15 minute mein main Billu Barber ke liye 6 gaane likh deta hoon . Wo director roz poochta hai .

But at the same time , I am genuinely floored by Dev D songs . I mean , I am sure 90% of the guys , who , by the way , have been cheated / spurned / “Used-for-shopping-Movie-Coffee Bills” by females at some point or another would feel “emotional atyachaar” is their own aatmas singing . The balance 10% of the guys are still not enlightened about the futility of paying for the movie tickets .

And main note kar raha tha , after 5 years of starting this blog , I still get an average of 80-120 comments on a post . Though not quite the one to write for comments ( Hum to wo Selfish Praani hai jo Bhikhai Baba ka Katora Cheen ke Bech de , tumhare liye kya likhenge ) , I am amazed by the fact that some of you are kind enough to actually state that you like reading what I write . Some day I would love to meet some people I know only through their comments . Probably , like they have created an image of me in their minds ,I have their images in my mind , And meeting them before it’s too late would help me leave this earth with more “Chain Se” ( This phrase has been picked up from numerous Hindi Movies where the Ladki ka Baap says “Bass Beti , ab tere haath peele ho jaye to tera yeh booda baap chain se duniya chod payega” .)

Sansani Khabar – Guy on Rashmi F 26’s seat just pushed his elbow in my back . I think I am being victimized under “Inappropriate touching by a sleeping man” act here .

Aur to bass yaar , these days I am under the ‘Main Kabhi Shaadi nahi karunga” mind blanket . Seriously man , if someday I tell you the kind of emotional ups / downs ,/ round and round I have been through starting at age 22 , you will know what I mean . Kasam Banane wale ki , you will wet my sofa with your tears and cry out “Ab bass bhee kar , aur kitna rulayega” by the time I reach what happened to me in the college canteen at Age 24 .

Chalo yaaro , abhi Kat Leta Hoon . ( Is that a Delhi Thing to say “Kat Leta Hoon” ? My colleagues in Punjab just cant get this ) . Laptop Battery is near death , and more importantly , I need to get up from this before this guy on Rashmi F 26 ki seat leaves me brain damaged with his snoring . Abhi yahan Rashmi F 26 hoti to humne to apne baccho ke naam bhee rakh liye hotein . Kyun Bhagwaan , aakhir kyun ?

Ustad,

In my almost 10 odd years of long distance train travel + 3 years of international Flight travel... kabhi bhi Rashmi F26... mere pass nahin baithti :-)

So, I guess, that's another reason for me to like reading your posts :-)

LOL. Good narrative.

Shekhar said...

Dude... you just watch too many Hindi films!! :P

~sighs~ aur haan, aaj tak apne bagal mein bhi koi Rashmi F 26 nahin baithi. :(

P.S. Completely agree about the ridiculous nature of lyrics of the 'Billu Barber' song.

[This phrase has been picked up from numerous Hindi Movies where the Ladki ka Baap says “Bass Beti , ab tere haath peele ho jaye to tera yeh booda baap chain se duniya chod payega” .]


i believe the actual phrase is -
“Bass Beti , ab tere haath peele ho jaye to tera yeh booda baap chain se duniya CHHOD payega”

though i guess it depends from baap to baap

Rashmi F 26 is surely not going to appreciate you mentioning her age on your post :-)...Nice post!

Charmed. said...

Abhinav M 27,gosh! that was you!? tussi bhi yaad aaoge. :d ...hehe,hats off to whoever coined this term 'emotional attyachar'...couldn't agree more to it (..although not in the perspective you've mentioned here)....and now that we're at it, could someone please tell me what does 'khasmanu khaye' mean ? (...'khitpit' is a lovely word,i'm glad abt being reminded of that n that it'll be a regular part of my vocab now:))...these are still tolerable rhymes...bollywood has had much worse share of 'lyrical attyachar' earlier i guess:)(think of some govinda songs and you'll get the point, i guess:))
(wish the next post comes up sooner..)

im sitting here with a biiiig smile on my face that began when i decided to catchup on my reader list and came to ur blog.
abhinav, i dunno what it is abt what/how u write but it almost never fails to make me smile... ek ajeeb si khushi hoti hai when u update, plz do it more often na!
PS: i love "emosional atyachaar" too... super song hai :D

Yehh and here goes my comment to "non commenter" anyways good to c a new blog...cos yehh its bakwas but still it is full of weirdo ideas to have nice sneak peek often...its really good time pass in your blog....even if its not flashy as mine a bit...but what ever is written (even in bathroom...the think place) is written from dil se .

Bhagwan Bachaye f-26 ko cos ultimately this post ended with a thought of "no marriage" so 2 -3 golu molu between u and her and one bike seems superficial relation...wow HIT hai..
anyways Kudos !!

being selfish, if Rashmi F26 would have been there then, there would have been less chances of another hilarious post.

Hi ! nice post but expected a little more funny description about Rashmi F26 .. Just to let you know if inquisitive:
"Cut lete hai" phrase probably originates from the `ek cut chaai`- a common term for busy working middle-class people in Mumbai, often finding no time even for a full tea-break, maybe ..

The issue is something which not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I found this in my hunt for something regarding this.
