shor ya khamoshi mein ........................


life's not loooking up...

jo dhaaga tum se judd gaya .. .waffa ka
mein tera sarmaaya jo bhi mein hoon

tera na hona jane kyun hona hi hai ..............
aaa.aaa.aaa.aaaa (the background score)

i wish to all my Qns , i cld have some one tell me
"ASK THE PANKAZZZZZ!!!! "

search simpu sodhi on you tube

Setting goals

if they are easily attainable ...
feeling of accomplishment is less at the end of it all

if they are too ambitious ...
feeling of commitment to completion is bound to lack ...

how to strike the right balance ?


then one of my namesakes once told me , for an ADS like me , i should start from the attainable to the ambitious .....

so here

clean up the mess in my room .. my study shelf , my wardrobe !!

Am i not well -read

coz i dont talk

  • gizmos
  • economics
  • share markets
  • cars
  • play station

What do i then ?

My sphere of knowledge is too less :(

feeling low

getting nostalgic abt exams ......

I have underestimated myself at times…………

As far as maths goes , I have always managed to crack the tuffies … but would get confused or go silly wit the simple ones J imagining they cant be so damn simple , there has to be trick , a snag , … figuring out endlessly what could be the catch when there was none at all J


I remembered a similar story …. Science paper tha 5th std ,
Me and the next roll no … were over with our papers …..mein 2nd rank , who 3rd rank in class ….
We were checking our answers together
The teachers caught us discussing ….


So she made us kneel on floor ……. One of us on each side of her …………..
But incidentally her table and chair was slightly ahead of us

So we managed to catch a peek of each other and continued discussing ………
Till we were thrown out of the exam room ….hahahahahaha

Hmmmm .. nostalgic I m getting now …


Also how many times did u change ur correct answer in your paper coz ur friend ‘s answer sounded more correct after some exam room discussions over many rows ??? J
I have done that so many times ………….. scratched off the correct one to write the wrong one J



That’s such an engg truth …………….u scored less than the person who copied from you J

I remember PEM paper ----- most of u wld not even remember the full form
Principles of Economics Management

It was a 3 hr long paper … prelim exam paper again
The whole class had left the exam room … after the first 3 mins , left after 10 mins … 15 ..30 , 1 hr …… A the competitive girl that she is .. thot she cld give me competition …sat there scribbling for 1.5 hrs …. But then gave up .. I sometimes laugh at her immaturity J she thot she cld …………

Btw she used to respect me a whole lot …. 8th sem , she got a dist. And after seeing her results up the board , she came to thank me for inspiring her to study and score ………
Her steady rise in her academic graph was all thanks to me and my studious company … 56 % to 72 % ….

Nah nah don’t clap now ……. It was a very humbling experience


Ok coming back to the point ……..
So it was pem paper and a Qn of 10 marks .. for which obviously I was running out of theoretical stuff to write about … so there I thot I wld resort to the last …… so I let my creative streak loose ….

It was a slitly philosophical Qn , and u know how I love to give gyaan abt such stuff …. the only good thing abt this was
There was no dis interested audience over here ….
It was just plain ol paper in front of me ……….. a reynolds pen and a frustrated examiner waiting for me to pack up ……
But I was in the mood that day ……..

I made up the entire thing … made up a famous economist ……..made up a Quote …..quoted it .. and then explained it and then gave an example of how it was correctly applicable to the Qn that was asked ……….
I was practically smiling wen I was writing the answer …………….

My friends were waiting for me outside the exam room next to the door , they were elated wen they saw me getting up , but then they left the moment I got up n asked “Supplement please “.

I was enjoying myself , I was doing it for 2 things ………
1. To give vent to my creative streak that somehow got triggered that day in the exam room
2. sadistic pleasure : enjoying myself almost foreseeing the pleasure thet examiner wld get wen he wld read my paper ……..

I scored 65/100 in it …..:0)

Pssssssssssssttttt ..... अबे यह बोल ना !!!

To cheat or not to cheat ................


Calvin to Hobbs in one of his cartton scripts ...........

"Today at school , i tried to decide whether to cheat on my test or not , I wondered if it is better to do the write thing and fail..... or is it better to do the wrong thing and succeed ?!!! "

and this is the moral that put him thru life's cynical Qns

Undeserved success gives no satisfaction
but deserved failure gives none either !!


Super awesome …………

Hence I used to study before my tests …….
Except wen I did cheeat in 1 paper ….. I was nervous like sugar ………. Thanks to roll no. 17 , I made it. B was kind enuf to tell me the formula ……………

Another time was in 2nd std ………..kamlesh helped me ……….. it was hindi paper and I still had the remains of my canadism in me left ……….had to ..had to ………. Guess he was smart … he understood my accented english begging/plea that I needed help ………

I came out of my hindi paper .. and there was ma , waiting to pick me up …

There were other kids running up to their ma(s) too ….who had come with lunch dabbas
Their moms would ask them confidently how they did .. they wld exclaim with greatest pride and showing an exuberance of modesty at the same time “ Ek ya aadhe mark ka mistook ho gaya “ … !!!

Damn the pseudo – scholars

And now the innocent me …….
She asked me worriedly .. “how was it ? “ trying to match my accent
I told her … proudly in the crispiest hindi ever … “kuch kuch likha “!!!!!!!!!

She hugged me and after that I was happy to get my rajma chawal and got on to doing wut I am best at ……….enjoying ma food !!!

What works in India with the ill-mannered commuters and pedestrians?

What works in India with the ill-mannered commuters and pedestrians?

• The loud but polite insult “this place is full of unsophisticated people”
• The proactive complaint and bring it to their notice ,”hey you , what are you doing mann ?!!!”
• The teaching by way of a sermon , “Sir , its not right to throw garbage where you are sitting and where others will later !!!“
• The sehensheel ignore treatment . “Kuch pheka usne ,chhod na yaar !!”
• The “I pity thou , for thou know naught what wrong thou does!!” feeling
• The submissive approach , “let it be , un log ko pata nahi hai yaar ”
• The sarcastic reprise “ the most civilized of the lot travel by Mumbai local trains esp. the ones who munch on seeng danas while travelling!!! “
• The guilt induction by way of the polite anthithesis , you don’t say anything , you just pick up their garbage and hand over their belongings to them which they by mistake dropped.
• The whats-in-it-for-me mentality “It doesn’t affect me directly , so why should I ???!!!”
• The irate mumble / murmuring , “kaise log hai re !!“


I have tried all , I don’t know what works…. but I aint giving up so soon !!!!

My day was made

or rather my evening .........

was attending a corporate party ... who had invited a celebrity singer ... a cute one with an even more cuter and amazing voice ....


he floored the audience and esp. me the moment he started singing .....
i mean i was having dinner that time ..... i completely disposed of my plate to go over to him ........
now that means he is superbly awesome !!!

there was a lot of crowd close to the stage where he was belting out his hits from.
we (as in me and a dear friend ) were standing in a corner ....right to the center where we were getting a better view of him and with no tall men infront of us ..........
s owe were a crowd apart still admidst the crowd !!!!

so it was kewl .....

he was gracious enough to shake hands with the bellirious crowd..... who wouldnt leave his hand after he extended his ... so much so that he was requesting them ki " haath toh chhodd do yaar !!!"

hehehehe ... very cute guy yaar

i was too far for that ............ and too grown up for that kinda thing
but i still wanted to catch his attention ..... let him know i was enjoying every bit of him .........

the crowd was swaying their hands in unison ..... i was clapping ......to his music beats
no eye contact yet ..............

then he started a romantic number .......
no hands were up now ... people were enjoying hte music and the singing ... swaying thier bodies to the romantic spell ....

his eyes were moving from one corner to the center to the other corner ....
and there our eyes met .............
i blew out a flying kiss to him .............

i guess i was the only one who did that in that very moment ...
instantly and most generously ... I GOT ONE BACK ............

oh mann... that felt great ..................

so what if he doesnt remember me ..... i wont either after a few days .....
but rite now it stays fresh in my memories ............
yup i am an ADS :))) to the core .....

and then he sang my favourite number after that .........
the one that i and my sister would listen to every night before going to sleep .... it was like our night time prayer .. had to be heard .....

it was one walkman .. two ear phones ... we both shared one ....and at the highest volume ... we both would lie blissfully .....our heats beating to his singing .........
this song still sends the shivers down my spine :)

WOa ... wut a momet ........wut a trip down memory lane ........... how just a few moments can just send u in a tizzy and make u so elated ... that they defintely deserved this post of mine today ....


truly heart felt :)


signing off
Ddddddddddddddddddddddeepali

Coffee taking over

we have a new wending machine at office ...........
esp. good for coffee ....

tried the cappucino .... liked it ....

thou i have always been a chai fan .... but office ki aur ghar ki aajkal itni exciting nahi lag rahi ...
at home it only tastes good .. wen i really need it .. over da wekends .. wen i get up after a nice nap inda afternoon .... with elaichi in it.. it's just bliss ful :)

but now it is office ... turning over a new leaf .... cappu it is :)
i think coffee gets the creative streak in me going ...
or even the professional DD in me wakes up ...

but tea makes me more thoughtful .. never bee nable to master how my frnds D and M used to make it .....
tea keeps me in the continuum ......to do well wutever i was doing

Also , it makes me nostalgic .......
nostalgic .. does that mean it will help my memory ........?
i mean
wen u do get nostalgic .... u remember the past ..........u jog your memory .......
which is good for work .. esp. if u keep forgetting wutever u want to do .........

with a mind like mine that runs in all directions ............. u need to tie it down ..............:)

hmmmmmm.... never thought of it that way ........

now i know how to choose my beverages at work ..............


leisure drinks are a different story altogether :)
will cover that wen i have actually had a leisurely drink at a rest. .......
not done that in a long time ..........

Just thinking

The motivation to make it seem extremely abstract ............

can be

1. it seems increasingly relevant to others : u read it as wut u wanna read irrepsective of wut it was meant to convey .. it always seems to fit :) ......... a feel good factor

2. to make it seem mysterious : to make it seem like a long shot ... but defintely a good one .. if u do get it ...
i hate it wen I have to explain ot to others .........duh - umb !!!

The Artist in me !!!

Was Never good at origami or is it origamy …………….. or as most from Indian schools wld know - craft
Always scored an A in Art
Mostly a D in craft …. Or rather scraped thru to manage a D , thanks to my puppy dog eyes which were put to their best use then
Difference between craft and Art :
My Craft work was sloppy ………. I could never cut in a straight line ….. [abhi bhi line kaatna nahi aata ..... those close to me wld understand wut i am saying :-( ]
But Art ……… I never used a scale /ruler to draw a straight line .....but line aara nahi aata ..... words in bracket alppicable here also :)
Craft : either the paper would tear and then I would have to use so much gum , that too apna great desi market version – joker gum on it … which used to leave marks behind on it in order to cover the crime ….
Art : never an effort ………….. wld always go rite the first time
How u must wonder
Actually at that small age of 9 also , I used a management tactic / paradigm to get me thru successfully , the 80/20 principle …
80 of the time allotted was spent in analysing what to draw and in the planning of the painting
20 in the actual effort to yield the best results ………..
Craft grade : C and below
Art grade : A and above
Craft teacher : run of the mill , fold the paper this way coz it wldnt look like a bird other ways …..always scared of trying the unknown and the abstract
Art : always creative …. My one artteacher : Mrs.Apte from AECS-4 always encouraged creativity ……….
Be it a cartoon script drawing competition instead of the usual scenary waala competition
I got a first prize … obvious isn’t it [read exclamation mark here , they dont allow u these on ur posts]
Since then it has always been abstract ……….symbolic of events ,happenings around me
It is always a puzzle with my painting
Or maybe u could work out your own interpretation of the painting

Conclusion :
Craft : is for the skilled …………. U learn it , u practice it , u get it
Art : is for the talented ……….. its inborn , if u have it in u , u see it …. Or else u cant do much abt it

Maybe I will scan a pic of my abstract works to get you more acquainted
