Incredible!!!

On a rainy day evening i take my bike to take a survey of the city. Naturally the twilight is accompanied with a stupendous colour change phenomenon but rain makes clouds grey and to feel the rain at some far of place is that earthy smell- pure, original and basic. Many names to the same thing makes it appear ubiquitious and all encompassing. So when rain has acquired such a status a dreamer would always like to be underneath it, always without exception. When it is drizzling it is quite satiating to drink the raindrops falling from the clouds, ssssssssssssrrrrrrrrrp!
Crazy people with crazy intentions are always very normal people, ironically. The famous 'chana wala' whom i used to hear far off about 8 years ago suddely caught my attention when he was singing the same chana selling song near my neighbourhood. For 8 years this guy is selling 'chana' with lemon and spices!
Listen this- On any evening if you are traving in the intercity from bhopal to indore or otherwise you are bound to find this idiosyncratic but funny slogan- ' Uncle Aaagaye- Lays- Uncle Chips- Uncle Aaagaye'. I am listening to this guy for what like 6 years now! When he comes late i go find him in the train not because i want to have the chips(although i have it anyways,love chomping!) but i want to see this guy reciting the slogan. Kids love him & enjoy his voice and i m no different.
Incredible is the thing how consistently one can be involved in a activity which is highly repeatative and monotonous. Ofcourse financial reasons do come into the picture but if you look at his another anecdote you'll have to change your line of thinking.

Joshi Sir, whom i like not because his physics stuff and competitve seating arrangements but extraordinary sense of humour with timing is teaching the same subjects and material for past 15 years now. Once i asked him over a light conversation about this. " Dada aap 15 saal se ek hi cheez kar rahe hoo woh bhi 10 ghante per day every day, bore nahi hote"
Dada replied a beautifully- " Sharma tujhe pata nahi mein bahut bore ho jata hoon but there is a point here. I am getting older every year but my students remain young and of same age every year. They makes me young and i like being young."
Now i knew why joshi sir cant resist his tight t-shirts and jeans even his bulging belly touches the one who sits in first position in his class. Jokes apart the guy has a good endurance and a penchant for public speaking which makes him stand for hours inspite of broken joints in one of his legs.

Ok i was listening to an interview of Marlon Brando who is one of the great actors world and i have even see. He is know for method acting which in bollywood you can find in AJay devgan though he is okay types. Brando says that if i do a role i become obsessed with it and the role embodies me. Every one does some acting all the time but the thing is that it looks beautiful only on some of them. So playing different roles is not the key but playing same roles with subtle differences which audience should be able to make out is the key! Jai Ho Brando Sahab point noted!

"Incredible things are not neccessarily great things!" Signing off with this line.
