2010, The world has been into a period of transformation right since the advent of mankind... Its been placing itself into different eras very safely with all the care. Man has advanced, with a little compromise, Nature! That's not what this is all about, but Technology has been one of the most important factors in the destruction of nature. No details I know.. Even though technology has blessed us with Easy ways of Communication.. Everyone is so ungrateful just like Me!
Communication has always been necessary, when there was no language it must have been the actions and paintings that we have read about in History textbooks! When there was language, Man wanted a bit more comfort and luxury and hence Graham Bell invented Telephone! Then came Computer, Cellular Phones, Internet! And all of them have taken such an important place in Our Lives that One actually can't imagine Life without these.. They have become Important Media Tools, in fact The very place that am sitting while writing this Not-Needed Gyaan is all surrounded by A Laptop, A Wi-Fi Connection, A Landline, and My Mobile phone!
Although there is one thing that always crosses My mind when I watch Old Movies, It seemed so difficult then, things which are somehow indispensable Today, didn't even exist then. Dialogues consisted of "Kal hum milenge issi jagah par", Poor guy He couldn't even call up his Heroine and say If He couldn't make it... But that makes me feel, Wow! I mean it would be so important then to meet up someone when fixed, and am sure People would try their best to make it.. Nowadays" Hey Man I can't make it, lets make a plan for later.. Sorry, Take Care!" Its convenient but makes People unimportant , things have materialized like anything now! I so wish I had No cellphone to cancel a plan with friends when I am stuck somewhere, at least I would try my best to be there when said...
SNS(Social Networking Sites) They have been the latest buzz! Orkut, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and many more, half of which I have an account on, and half of which are best known to the members of the site feeling lonely around. These sites were a Thumbs-down before, I remember logging into Facebook for the first time, finding it boring and logging out, without even making An Account... Although on this date, I can stay without The Newspaper, Maybe My Morning Tea, but not without Facebook, Don't even know when was the last day, when I did not Log in. My point here is, things have become so important that they are easy now, Facebook and Twitter have been criticized for being the most Un-User-Friendly sites in the beginning, but that doesn't deter the Highly Socially Active Teenagers, and Nowadays Even Adults from Logging in, which means Sites have been modified to suit the Users! Which shows how easy it is Now to Communicate...
But the flip side is really sad, at least to Me, I am the kind of person who needs to do something only when it has a Charm, Gone were the days, what I see in Movies,That The Hero is waiting for the girl outside Her College since days, just to come in her way, Only To Get a Glance back, maybe a smile if He is lucky... Now the ways to seek attention have changed.. There is no Hard work in searching for a particular individual, You just need the Name... Saathiya (Viveik Oberoi and Rani Mukerji) had a sequence, where Viveik's friends are explaining him the practicality of not finding the girl He is looking for, and Very effectively He filters the Number from A Crore to just Seven and then says the dialog," Saat Ladkiyon me se Ek ladki dhundna toh koi badi baat nahi hai na" With the same circumstances today, He would say," Uska surname pata chal gaya na buss, toh Facebook pe add kar sakta hoon!" It has no Charm, its just easily available.. and its a Human Tendency to Not Value things which are Easily available, And then We blame Other individuals for being wrong in relationships, friendships, with the easy availability, Everybody Has Become Shallow! Although now that this is Getting too Non-Communicative of The Message, I Must End it Here!
Stay in Touch!
P.s: After All The Era Of Communication!

Show-off!
*Mom 3 O'clock ka alarm please*
*Ok, what time is it now?*
*9.30*
A routine conversation between My Mom and Me. Correction... It WAS A routine conversation between My Mom and Me in the last week of March. Reason: My Examinations were going on and for some reason I had to actually study hard for almost all my subjects! Phew... Finally it was over and I had Five thousand plans in my mind about how my vacations are supposed to be spent... As usual nothing actually materialized except for the Gymming thing that has gotten into me(Don't expect any difference in my biceps, this was just plain show-off)...
A certain hangover kind of feeling I wake up with almost everyday of my vacations, Which makes me go,"No wonder I am always on time for the rest of the year!" I finish my quota of sleep in the vacations... Sleeping late and waking up late is the only thing which makes me think that I have something called a vacation. But there is something very good about the silent night that is every night, even if One isn't asleep, he certainly doesn't find himself in A sleep or die situation. On the other hand, its not the same with the day, although there is commotion and the real world works, plays, gets entertained, earn a living, have a life, etc etc... It is very difficult to while it away.. So the best way is to be awake in the night wondering why hasn't the cell phone vibrated yet or wondering what status should I update in the morning or which must be my lucky number today or randomest of all... What is my Gym instructors name(Show-off again) etc etc... and in the day, well... let others make hay while the sun shines, I'd rather sleep!
Btw, reminded by show-off, I have got a new habit, A bad habit of watching at least one movie every week... Starting from April Week 2 release Prince followed by Paathshala suceeded by City Of Gold, Bounty Hunter, How to train your Dragon 3D and the latest Housefull... All of them, except for Housefull and How to train Your Dragon 3D, were Shows Off... Meaning, they were all running succesful to empty theatres! Which reminds of a dialogues from Zoya Akhtar directed Luck By Chance, 'Wahan pe Content is King, Hum aapki industry me yeh culture laana chahte hain' I think it was a "karara vyang" on Bollywood, which is changing its ways of Cinema, by forgetting that the main reason why a movie would work at the Box office is A story! Most makers have become pretty bold, I mean, The most dullest season at the Box Office every year for Movies was either the Exam season or The Cricket season, In spite of both the seasons together this year, Bollywood had as many as 12 movie releases in the Month of April... No body is scared of Competition Just because Jannat and Biwi No.1 worked during a Cricket season! Anyways am No Taran Adarsh or Rajeev Masand to comment on it, but it hurts to see the industry which I respect for its stature, bleeding because of its own mistakes! Nevertheless, being a Very Optimistic person, I would expect Badmaash Company, Kites, Raajneeti and Raavan to not dissapoint the audiences! Though Housefull is a relief to the industry, may be just the start.. Expecting the best...
Watching Movies at The theatres is still a luxury which is not meant to be fulfilled everyday, but there is always a need for recreation, and what I do with it is.... Gym! Yes, I am a frequent visitor of that place where according to me, "No pain, No gain" the famous saying was first said. Must have been a Very motivating Trainer who came up with this one. But just because I go to the Gym doesn't mean I shoud Carry! LOL( A very old one, must've sounded familiar) Hmph.. My Mehnat in the Gym will not stop anytime soon, but my Mehnat on the keyboard should stop by now, Beacuse I am Guilty conscious about writing a L-O-N-G note on no specific topic... One thing I will always be in pursuit of, is a writable topic and not just random thoughts that I almost every time just compile!
*Ok, what time is it now?*

Intense but not In-Tense!
Lone!
The only four letters common between three big and heavy words which have been taking their own importance at different phases of My life, namely: Alone, Lonely and Loner...Alone, Lonely and Loner are three synonymous yet totally
different meanings altogether...
Its pretty personal to post it here, but I think its My creative outlet to a negative feeling which is great according to Me on a platform like a blog, where anyone can read it, but its easy to skip... In that way, expression of the feeling comes and the content comes that I blurted out what I felt...
Alone means plain alone... (al ONE), No one around to share anything with, a bad but a totally helpless state. A less of psychological but moreover physical period. Its the time which no one will ever understand about what you were doing, what was your state of mind, What was the expression of Your face,When You thought about being alone, When You consoled Yourself no You aren't alone, but yes You were! When You cried *if You did*, When You smiled after that on Your own,When You felt strong that You don't need anybody to be with to spend Your time, then collected Yourself that No.. I can't be alone, I don't deserve to be... Its a period of time which goes slow, makes Your world go upside down, at least it makes You feel that even though not true... But for a fact it's for a very short span, as in like an hour or two, Maximum One whole day! Its like an Examination Going on which has a difficult question paper and You never studied for it...
It makes You respect Every one You have in Your life, be it Your Not So Good Friends, Your Colleagues who aren't as cool as You are but are there, YOUR WATCHMAN who smiles at You and opens the door... Yes am serious! It can be a bit devastating for someone who is new to it, You can break down on the graveness of the fact that, "Man am actually actually actually alone for an hour" It can make you check out every thing on the road, observe all kind of strangers around, *comes the worst* make You check your contact list of Five Hundred People yet find no one to accompany You for the current moment, it can make You post sad things on The Internet, if you are stranded alone at an unknown place, but blessed with Mobile GPRS... It's when You see a ray of hope in every slight movement in Your surroundings thinking that its Your cell phone which is going to ring now.. But to Your despair... All Alone... A bad period, but frankly motivating You to be Happy when You have something, teaching You to respect what You have, because there are still many things You have but some people may be deprived of! The best part about this is that it makes You realize how important it is to think about Yourself,but still respecting everything in The world with all humility... Its an intense and short period but sometimes really necessary for a reality check of the certainty and uncertainty involved in a journey called life, which is beautiful but You will only realize when something ugly happens!
Lonely means alONE with company... Doesn't happen too much with me for the sole reason that I just stated above about the respect thing You learn of being alone... But still being lonely is like being in a swimming pool and still feeling all dry. Its like totally not acknowledging what You have, its the worst feeling that You can go through, or make yourself go through, because you are just being rude to who is around you, or maybe the reason for your loneliness is the person or the group of people around you. Sometimes You think about things which some one else with a different state of mind would never understand, or you are expecting things from people who don't want to do it for you, or maybe they want to do it for you, but don't know that you want it from them... Basically, when the people you are with just don't understand what you need, what you are thinking, what is your state of mind, why is that frown on your face, why is that smile not there, why is there no expression, why is there no sound... Its like you being in a swimming pool, wanting to be not dry, but the water in it doesn't understand that it needs to comfort you with its moisture, and cool you down with its temperature... That's when You should pity yourself for not being communicative or for being around people who aren't of your type... But the most important part of this occasion *feels guilty about terming it as an occasion* or series of occasions or maybe an entire phase of Your life is its like Your Open-House day when You get Your results, its like being too ignorant at studies(not acknowledging what you have), or scoring bad in some subjects(having the wrong kind of people around with whom you can't score well) or maybe just being weak(unable to understand the reason of the communication gap) or maybe all of these... This may sound as the most unexciting experience, but it will always allow You to look at a situation from all aspects of it, making You Pro-active, I know its not necessary to go through all of this, but its a great learning than just a bad experience...
Loner... The odd man out.. The only one of the three to not be a phase but a self imposed exile! A Loner is a person who WANTS to be ALONE AND LONELY... I have myself been that for a reasonable period of time, I think the compulsion of loneliness that You impose on Yourself comes up as Your Self-Defense Mechanism, when You have been Alone, Have been Lonely and all of that... Its time You assess what's wrong,if nothing seems to be wrong then what are supposed to be the corrective measures necessary to avoid any of these in future... Its like When Mumma and Paapa scold You after scoring low in your exams, You just keep on staring at Your Report Card and try to find out whats wrong and what could have been the report card like, "I think an extra dose of marks in History and an A++ in Computers would have looked Good"
For all the assessment you do, I think there is a vacation because obviously You need to know where you were wrong, if at all You were... This gives You protection for sometime because You be Alone on Your convenience not because of a weak moment or an unforeseen unavoidable situation... No one can harm You by not understanding You, Nor can You harm Yourself by being with the wrong people....
I think the Loner part is the easiest to say but the most difficult thing to stick to, because of the variety the world and the people cater to You... You are bound to be tempted *keeps on happening with me no details to post* Its a dilemma kind of a feeling which always tempts You even though You know this Self Trust Exercise is necessary... It reminds You dialogues *ahh... My favorite part* from all kinds of movies like the one from Dhoom Two By Hrithik, Which says that You should only trust Yourself and nobody else.. Or the one from Bachna Ae Haseeno By Ranbeer which explains Minnisha Lamba to open the doors of Love for the world is not that bad A Place to be... Its Totally How You end up conquering the Win-Win situation where if You are Hrithik , You are the Smartest Person,and When You are Minnisha You listen to Ranbeer and allow Yourself to repeat some mistakes, Coz You never know History May Not Repeat Itself....
p.s: This is all a chronology of events happened in my life, and not necessary may happen with You... At least not in the same Chronology...
Wish You All, All The Content And Happiness In Life...
Take Care Guys! :-)

My Belated Happy Birthday!
Okay its too late to realize its been two years into blogging now, nothing much has changed though, am still the same and boring Manish, with less grammatical mistakes (maybe) and more consumption of Tea while writing.... So as someone commented on a post of mine, here I am writing about My Birthday...Two years back around this time, it was Shahid's birthday post from me, still love him, but am more personal about it now!
17th January 1991, One of the worst days in the history of mankind, the most boring creature took birth on Earth... It was Me, Coincidentally My Mom and Dad share their Marriage Anniversary with My birthday... *doesn't want to believe but knows that friends crack joke behind my back on My Dad's timing* So... Birthday, its a very important day in anybody's life... Everybody waits for it and most people are excited about it... and why not? Which other day in the whole year would everyone pamper you and ensure that you are enjoying and happy and stuff... But am a bit different, rather very different... Somehow am not so excited about my birthday...
I mean what is so different in the day man, its like just another day minus the phone calls....
Anyways I goofed up big time on my birthday this year... My special and close group of friends have a tradition sort of a thing which allows them to pop up at 12 am at anybody's place, cut the cake, and waste all of it on the birthday boy's face, but all of them Use Facebook.. I also use Twitter and Blogger, that gives me an edge... (no connection anyways) I am totally well versed with the plan and everything, didn't wanna fall prey to it...
16Th Jan 2010... Saturday evening. Was with Chinmay at Inorbit Mall, got myself an authentic Rubik's cube(my love for it had just grown) Dropping him to the temple he warned me that they'll be coming to my place at 12.. *Ya Ya Right Right*
17th Jan 2010... 12am BANG... Am nineteen...Okay not making any difference,Big deal! On the phone talking, forgot to switch on my call waiting... Shreya's message "Dude wads wrong whr r u? Pls pick ma calls once yaa i gotto wish u pls dun do dis" Strikes to me like a Hammer, "Oh God my call waiting" and its on the next moment! Beep beep... Call one... Beep beep Call two... and My Cellphone becomes, "Chalta phirta call center" Very obvious, It Happens with everyone I guess...
But my mystery location still untracked by Pratik, Dhruv and Chinmay... I was at my second home, Anyone who knows me, knows Malad Crepe Sation, but to my disgust, it was full, I still booked a table and then I get obscene calls from the Three idiots who had reached my home and didn't find me there, somehow they found out and reached where I was waiting to see those sad asses*I mean donkey, avoid slam in my writing*.... Mission successful, didn't fall prey to their usual mischief, in fact made a boo-boo out of them and that's why the slang in the video:-
Exciting time, had like loads and loads of fun! Nocturnal animals also eat, something we needed to realize, and we did only to start the hog-a-thon... Some raste ka khaana, and searching for a place for Hookah on the link road...
1 am... Oshiwara Crepe Station about to finish its closing for the day, think wouldn't be able to go there, but for a fact, Crepe Station Brand loyalty pays... Suraj -The manager at Oshiwara Crepe... Had a decently convincing chat with him,He arranged for shifting the closing time to an extended hour. Only on the condition of minimum billing some 1000 odd rs! Feasible... Okay.. Lets Go!
Booze, Hookah... and we leave but after making a bill of double the promised amount and having triple the expected fun,...
Phoof... Reached Home at around Three Thirty am, it was a total disruption to my body clock, needed to hit the sack and pass out and count sheep and blah blah blah....
8am... Home... Wake up with Heartfelt Birthday wishes from the family and SMS'es from all my friends, totally humbled by the unexpected affection... Start some obvious fidgeting with The Rubik's invention, manage to get One side *am still stuck* Mom, Dad and Sister watching Chance Pe Dance, Me Chill maar raha tha at home, was online but invisible... Okay Okay got to get ready and leave, But wait didn't eat anything...Umm.. "Hello domino's? Ya I want only Garlic Bread... Ya you don't send side orders... okay How many is the minimum Garlic Bread I have to order... 3? Okay ... send three... note down the address"
Having a first Nineteen year old bath, thinking of what plans ahead, but not too certain of anything... Got like totally ready, Stuffed the garlic bread with cheesy dips in my body... Leave for daadi's place, get blessings... Get MONEY... Chachi stuffs all the more food especially prepared for me, (Why does this happen with me, the whole world wants me to eat) My Cousin Brother MR. Sachin Joshi who shares his Birthday with me meets me at My daadi's place, Watch a boring cricket match for some time, then comes Rohit, Poor guy, he studied the whole week and the whole morning to spend time with me, He had taken all the required permission from Chacha and all set to leave... We leave for Oshiwara Crepe *again for me*
Hmm... time passes slow when you are normal so call Up Shreya expecting for betterment of my day, "Am coming most probably... Wait I don't think its possible... so sorry want to come... okay Shreya try to come but..." Rohit and Me still there since the last two hours,hanging out, Turn Up Rishika and Ayush, the most Violent couple I have ever seen, Have fun, little guilt comes that Poor Shreya cant come although She has left from home(Long and pretty personal to post it here)On My way back to home like in some of my last posts had a Heart-To-Heart Conversation with Rohit, still getting too many wishes through the Cellphone! Reach back home... Talk to Shreya and she gets me back to my normal life, in which the whole year am even happy and even sad, only The Birthday is supposed to take a toll!
Cheers Everybody Rock n Roll...

16Th Jan 2010... Saturday evening. Was with Chinmay at Inorbit Mall, got myself an authentic Rubik's cube(my love for it had just grown) Dropping him to the temple he warned me that they'll be coming to my place at 12.. *Ya Ya Right Right*
17th Jan 2010... 12am BANG... Am nineteen...Okay not making any difference,Big deal! On the phone talking, forgot to switch on my call waiting... Shreya's message "Dude wads wrong whr r u? Pls pick ma calls once yaa i gotto wish u pls dun do dis" Strikes to me like a Hammer, "Oh God my call waiting" and its on the next moment! Beep beep... Call one... Beep beep Call two... and My Cellphone becomes, "Chalta phirta call center" Very obvious, It Happens with everyone I guess...
But my mystery location still untracked by Pratik, Dhruv and Chinmay... I was at my second home, Anyone who knows me, knows Malad Crepe Sation, but to my disgust, it was full, I still booked a table and then I get obscene calls from the Three idiots who had reached my home and didn't find me there, somehow they found out and reached where I was waiting to see those sad asses*I mean donkey, avoid slam in my writing*.... Mission successful, didn't fall prey to their usual mischief, in fact made a boo-boo out of them and that's why the slang in the video:-
Exciting time, had like loads and loads of fun! Nocturnal animals also eat, something we needed to realize, and we did only to start the hog-a-thon... Some raste ka khaana, and searching for a place for Hookah on the link road...
1 am... Oshiwara Crepe Station about to finish its closing for the day, think wouldn't be able to go there, but for a fact, Crepe Station Brand loyalty pays... Suraj -The manager at Oshiwara Crepe... Had a decently convincing chat with him,He arranged for shifting the closing time to an extended hour. Only on the condition of minimum billing some 1000 odd rs! Feasible... Okay.. Lets Go!
Booze, Hookah... and we leave but after making a bill of double the promised amount and having triple the expected fun,...
Phoof... Reached Home at around Three Thirty am, it was a total disruption to my body clock, needed to hit the sack and pass out and count sheep and blah blah blah....
8am... Home... Wake up with Heartfelt Birthday wishes from the family and SMS'es from all my friends, totally humbled by the unexpected affection... Start some obvious fidgeting with The Rubik's invention, manage to get One side *am still stuck* Mom, Dad and Sister watching Chance Pe Dance, Me Chill maar raha tha at home, was online but invisible... Okay Okay got to get ready and leave, But wait didn't eat anything...Umm.. "Hello domino's? Ya I want only Garlic Bread... Ya you don't send side orders... okay How many is the minimum Garlic Bread I have to order... 3? Okay ... send three... note down the address"
Having a first Nineteen year old bath, thinking of what plans ahead, but not too certain of anything... Got like totally ready, Stuffed the garlic bread with cheesy dips in my body... Leave for daadi's place, get blessings... Get MONEY... Chachi stuffs all the more food especially prepared for me, (Why does this happen with me, the whole world wants me to eat) My Cousin Brother MR. Sachin Joshi who shares his Birthday with me meets me at My daadi's place, Watch a boring cricket match for some time, then comes Rohit, Poor guy, he studied the whole week and the whole morning to spend time with me, He had taken all the required permission from Chacha and all set to leave... We leave for Oshiwara Crepe *again for me*
Hmm... time passes slow when you are normal so call Up Shreya expecting for betterment of my day, "Am coming most probably... Wait I don't think its possible... so sorry want to come... okay Shreya try to come but..." Rohit and Me still there since the last two hours,hanging out, Turn Up Rishika and Ayush, the most Violent couple I have ever seen, Have fun, little guilt comes that Poor Shreya cant come although She has left from home(Long and pretty personal to post it here)On My way back to home like in some of my last posts had a Heart-To-Heart Conversation with Rohit, still getting too many wishes through the Cellphone! Reach back home... Talk to Shreya and she gets me back to my normal life, in which the whole year am even happy and even sad, only The Birthday is supposed to take a toll!
Cheers Everybody Rock n Roll...

Rubik's Cube (Bollywood Ishtyle)
Ohkay! Everybody knows that, this is not The dreaded Exam Time, neither is Kshitij (My college Fest) work on right now, so many may presume that I am posting this because I am wasted... I just need to say, that am not wasted, I have an indulgence in a Toy since last few weeks! Toy! Yes am not Kidding... But yeh koi aisa waisa Toy nahi hai mere dost**Om Shanti Om Accent**... Its The Very Famous Rubik's Cube...
Invented by Erno Rubik, who claims that he invented it because of his curiosity about Space... Space? Ya Space.... God knows how he interlinked space with engineering and stuff(No Connection with Three Idiots I suppose), but other than that I know what he interlinked...
Delhi Six different colors, Six sides, Nine blocks on each color... Anyway Did you notice the last two lines were in the multiples of 3? Never mind my jokes.. Yeah so... There you have a Cube... A Rubik's Cube! Now the problem is it can be jumbled easily, but cant be solved easily, Unless you have The Patience of Saurav Ganguly and The Talent of Sachin Tendulkar, A Generous donation of IQ from Einstien would help you a little...
That were some basic facts about it, and a BASIC problem about it, and a basic set of unattainable characteristics needed to overcome the problem.. Now I need to say, my success in unjumbling the cube is also pretty basic... Basically, I can solve Any particular side or color of the cube in less than a minute,from the most jumbled or unjumbled of situations, You know One Two ka Four,and Four Two ka One, but then My name aint Lakhan, ummm... this was Very sad and I didnt start this post to bore everyone with these Basic things... I see a new (possibly... but hopefully not.. old) angle behind it... So as Saif quotes in Love Aaj Kal, "Naya angle hai, I think humein iske baare me discuss karna chahiye" Let me NOW start off with my unwanted Gyaan!
After sitting with the cube for hours and whiling away time, and showing off my Speedcubing skills *only till the extent of one side* to my Peers, I realise many things about it... Dhan te nan... Sach Ka Saamna... (Caution: Not for the Geek-hearted, can be dangerous to your mental well-being. Toxic Philosophy.)
It is such a big teacher in life, we may know about our impatience and crib about it every damn moment in our life, we will never try to improve it unless something compels us to do it, the cube did that with me, Main uska yeh ehsaan zindagi bhar nahi bhoolunga... Trying too much to get all colors still not being able to even get two sides full can be very frustrating... Ask my hair, which I was almost going to tear... But in my continuous efforts to reach my target, I have become more patient, My smile says it all man! Ta ra rum pum... Ta ra rum pum....
Another thing is I learnt to Give up... Nahiiiii.... Now thats a bad thing, but actually the Give up thing that I learnt is not a bad thing because I learnt to give up a Smaller opportunity for a Bigger future opportunity,You know Chance Pe Dance... When you see that the white block is very close and can be got in place easily, you dont generally see what you want after that,Dekh ke bhi andekha karna syndrome... Because that is momentary pleasure ignoring the possibilities of the Future and in the end You definitely regret it! The same thing can be applied in Life as well, If you are in a position to gain something, but You can wait, put yourself in a bit of extra trouble, and gain something even better than before... What do you chose? Obviously the second option, but only if you know about it, and thats what I learnt... Being proactive and A bit of Far-sighted... Its like a Bird in hand is worth two in the bush, when you have your Belief, You get too many things...
Towards the end of it I ll come a bit shallower in my thoughts, the best thing about the cube that happened to me is, "Meri Zindagi aur bhi rangeen ho gayi hai", Yes You may not believe but such an indulgence is an over-indulgence... I get colorful dreams... White, Blue,Red,Green,Orange, Yellow, and after posting such an uninteresting thing right now... I am a dirty Fellow...
Mujhe yeh shuruaat me hi keh dena chahiye tha, but I am saying it now... Hello, Hello... Hello Hello Hello... Jab Phone ki ghanti bajti hai toh kehte hai Hellllo...
