Aadmin hoon Aadmi se oops logon se pyaar karta hoon

I remember i was discussing my credulity with a beautiful girl that how easily i trust people. I cited two lines of a famous Hindi song Aadmi hoon aadmi se pyaar karta hoon (I am a human being and love fellow human beings). And she immediately broke into laughter saying ab pata chala (now i know) why are you single? I was immediately classified as a case of gender bender.

In India, you quite often come across people in full blown mascara and foundation talking about their son and wife. In one such instance, i congratulated one of my acquaintances when her ooops his wife delivered a baby boy. I said, "family ka pehla mard mubarak ho (congrats for first male member of family)." It's bad - isn't it. It's a kind of stereotype our society is victim of.

I subjected my friend with mockery because he could not lead the life he wanted to। I became subject of mockery because people still find it difficult to swallow that being a gay is not fashionable or a choice. It's natural.

Window of understanding

Today I had a plan to visit my friend to explore Window Vista Microsoft’s new kid on the block. As I was going towards his place, I bumped into a dead body lying on a bus stand. I called up my friend for advice whether I should call police or ambulance. He said, “I am coming.” The friend is a qualified lawyer practicing in the apex court of the land.

I was supposed to explain him Window, but I lost my window of understanding on the way itself. The things I couldn’t understand let me list:

A qualified lawyer was scared of calling police no (100) from his own cellular phone.

And two lawyers dissuaded me from using my phone. Why they were so scared themselves when their job is to bring respite to common man if threatened by the police?

How can a man starve to death in a city (Delhi – NCR) where even street dogs are overweight? The dead body was all bones no flesh. It was apparent that the person was hungry and sick for quite some time.

How at all the police solve any case in India with its stringent area rules defined by Criminal procedure code? In the first place the famous 100 no call about the semi dead man, actually dead, to the wrong sector police station and after looking at the spot the first thing it said was, “this is not our area.”

When police arrived a man most probably a software engineer came to me and said he had seen the body three hours before I saw and informed traffic police also but to no avail. In these times why at all any one expects help from strangers?

Is starvation death not news for media? Because the journos my friend tried to contact with the news that the person died probably of hunger was not interested without any blood or wounds.
This moron is again confused can anyone help

कल कि कल्पना में गुमराह हो गया आज का दिन

Isn't it a great line? Written by a very good freind.
A life threatening accident in London has taught me this lesson: don’t spoil today
क्योंकि कल हो न हो
(there may not be a tomorrow)
