Little kids and KKHH...(people who don't know what that stands for needn't bother reading)


So kids(read first year l.l.b.) were discussing the great/eternal love story of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,and how it is such a relevant plot because every person can put themselves in the shoes of some character or the other and definitely find people in their own circle of friends forming the exact same constellation. Now KKHH was a very important movie for those who were born in the eighties. But by now we have mostly lived through the age of the story. So this is how it really turns out, for real...

Rahul indeed is cool enough to have a chick best friend, Anjali. Yet, Rahul is afterall a boy and can't help but "jhukao"his "sar" to peep into Tina's pushed-up cleavage and publically declares that he would rather watch her "fake-guitar" "koi mil gaya" than go for the Metallica concert with the guys(he will so regret this later!! because Tina has "sanskar" and she won't be giving him any for a loooong time.)

Anjali can't believe Rahul actually wants to be with another person. If that person is a girl(Tina) who wears not-waterproof make up, so will Anjali. If Tina will jump up and down on the stage so will A (Jumping in red dungarees can't even help a Lara Dutta. Trust me.)Anyway, attention seeked- not found= time to wrap up and withdraw. Only that people don't actually leave mid sem, they become awkward and withdrawn and wait for the exams to come along because it signals the end and a perfect excuse for not meeting/ taking calls. Rahul can't think beyond "f*** man A's wierd!"("kuch kuch hota hai Rahul, tum nahi samjhoge.") Tina knows, but like she cares!

Now hold your breaths, because I am breaking this nice and easy........TINA DOESN'T DIE!!!!(You so wish that stuck up bitch did...par aphsos, yeh medical science aur bhagwan ka karishma hai ....)Tina does go away from the scene, but only when Rahul and Tina break up after 6 years of togetherness and many songs (on the i pod)...
In the emptiness of his life then, Rahul needs a bud. And after downing many he drunk dials Anjali (no irritating daughter needed.) She can't comprehend a word of his slurry speech, but thinks at the back of her head.."that voice was sooo like a drunk Rahul"...then puts that thought away and goes on to chose vacation destinations with Aman(the real stud).

Sober Rahul actually wants to meet A. He not-so-accidently bumps into her at a bar. Senti reunion happens. Maybe even a random make out. R starts calling/ msging. A starts questioning his intentions and her own. But this time she can't help but see his "looserlyness". How did he become so lame she wonders...she guesses being with Tina-the bimbo did that (after all who chooses Indian Riverdale over Oxford!)

Then the weekend with the funny, sweet, greatest kisser(and maybe other things ;) in the world, Aman happens. Now A knows for sure that her girly crush on Rahul is over. Life moves on. Everyone does well. R finds another Tina. And we find another movie.

My ode to the greatest food on earth!



It often gets hot and sultry
by the time you come around.
You are the only thing to look forward to,
when I am indoors,bound.
Your texture is addictive.
Your "oh! so sweet" smell the hook.
Mangoes!! you make me crazy!!
Don't want to give winter a second look.
