Mission Impossible 3 and Chaiyya Chaiyya

Wow what a weekend it has been!! Hey don’t worry Sethi Sahib is still to find that perfect girl for himself but despite that the weekend has been as refreshing as finally watching Ganguly scoring a big knock after a long time, so what if the opposing team is Muradabad eleven.

Well months of being away from home living in midst of people of different culture and people from my culture turning different, the weekend break was badly required.

Friday evening, after working like slaves employed by Egyptian kings to turn out some weird triangular shape graves for their burial, 24 X 7 since the last five days, this heart wanted something good real badly. Yes even more badly than a sensible and “free-from complicated-thinking- always-happy” women.

For Software guys like us, the saying goes, when in trouble remember god or search Google. Now god already has a long list of Sethi Sahib Wishes so Sethi sahib decided to turn to Google. And as always, god may delay but Google grants all your wishes in seconds.

And here enters SRK of Sethi sahib in firangi land. Yes! I am talking about Tom Cruise, Friday nigh first day last show of much awaited Mission Impossible 3. Man! What else a man need. 2 hours of non stop ass cracking action. Guns, lasers, head banging crouch jumping scenes in one of the best theaters in the town boasting of 21 screens in a single hall

Tom! Whatever the world says about you, your couch jumping, your women, your religion, Take it from me you rule! You rule despite all that!

Trust me this movie is worth a watch! It can pump you up even if it’s the day when you have been rejected by a women 234567897676th time. It can pump you up despite having emotionally drained out conversation with your girl, trying to be sensitive to her emotions and listening to the heart crying tale of how her dogs puke is changing color from yellow to not so yellow.

The next day was even more joyous , the kind of joy that you experience when the boy u thought had some Affair with the 1752762526th lady you had crush on , is once again seen roaming around with guys! The kind of joy u experience when that silly dog of your girlfriend finally gets picked up municipality anti rabies squad after weeks of colorful pukes.

So me woke up late, tried my hand making Aloo tikkis and surprisingly did well, surfed net, wrote mails to some dear friends, did a web con with family head quarters in Delhi, talked to dad from Nepal , had a long hot bath and finally a small afternoon nap on a cozy bed before going for a long walk to the lakeshore drive with a dear friend. Lets call him SI.

SI is really good man, definition of being good, loves SRK and himesh reshamiya , despite what the hell world says about them. 24 year old and like Sethi sahib, still to find that perfect women and despite being from south of India, picks up Punjabi gallis real fast quickly and deliver them with utmost north Indian perfection.

So we both went on a walk of around 3 hours, crossing one sky scraper after another and finally reaching to the shore of Michigan lake from where we took a long walk to my favorite spot almost at the end of shell museum which has a breath taking view of entire Chicago downtown and the beautiful Michigan lake in one single frame. The downtown skyline seems to be floating like a big shining boat on the lake along with scores of other smaller ones. Time seems have to stop there. A perfect hidden from the world spot for a heart to heart chat or just senseless gazing at the nonsensical world around you.

Already half of Amreeka doubt about me being gay and if your are wondering what the other half thinks, then forget it, the other half are males. So when we both sat at that beautiful straight-gift-from-god spot, I am sure the statement above was strengthened once again. And what we talked about, well I got some real good Gyan about share, stocks and mutual funds and high on Viagra sensex. Sethi Sahib always falls for an intelligent conversation. 12345637838th times better than discussing the color of the puke of your girlfriend’s dog and trying to make her see your sensitive side.

Finally, evening was giving way to night, the whole town was lighting up. Getting dressed up for the night I guess and we decide to head back to the skyscrapers. Walking all the way on the lake shore drive towards navy pier , checking amreeki kudis and clicking pics of each other in la SRK poses, singing himesh reshamiyas songs , the evening was fun. I bet Himesh Reshamiya in his weirdest of dreams would never have imagined that his straight from the nose songs would be sung in some hidden from the world spot in downtown Chicago with such zeal.

We decide to head for the biggest Mac D in the town. Had a heart filling, calorie incrementing and belly enlarging meal of cheese burger French fries and large chocolate shakes. Man sometimes in life you have to treat yourself royally and I guess that was long overdue from me. And if the meal is accompanied by heart to heart and gaaali filled chat of two men about everything that’s wrong about world women and work. I bet its heaven!

After yesterdays MI3 experience we decide to go in for one more movie. Zeroed on Inside Man. Trust me it was one of the best decisions of my life. Much better than decision to stop thinking about all the 1089755 women with whom I had one side affairs with.

The movie beginning itself was a surprise. a real pleasant one , the kind when you get to know that still in today’s age , some women could be perfectly sensible , intelligent , beautiful and yet unattached. Yes believe me it is possible and I am waiting for that to happen in my life too.

The movie begins and ends with SRK’ s Chaiyya Chaiyya song. Hey yes!!!, trust me , what I am saying is truth and nothing but the truth . Do you hear me?
SRK’s chaiyya in the background and Danzel Washington in foreground roaming in the streets of New York City. If apart from Angelina Jolie , if anything is hot here in amreeka , hen its India. You hear about it sleeping eating, drinking, pissing and also in midst of your Girlfriends dog health bulletin.

And firangs are going crazy about the song , I google it and see amazon.com selling thousands of copies of the song to firangi junta out here. Critics have found song better than the movie. People are sharing pirated mp3s on the blogs , India is happening man. I feel so proud!

And if that was not enough , the beautifully made movie about a bloodless bank robbery that never happened , ends with Chaiyya Chaaiyya too. Its double whammy and as Mc D says here , I am loving it .

The weekend is about to end, and like all good one side affairs of my life, this week too comes to a close leaving with me some real cherished memories and scores of clothes that needs to be washed and iron out.

And before i end , Thanks SI for the two beautiful evenings and you all have a great week ahead!
