Yo-Yo Honey SinghI was happily ignoring my precious blog this year and was totally unaware of the fact that it’s been more than a year I posted anything out here since the sentimental Shilpa Shetty pic in last September. Maybe I like Shilpa Shetty so much that I always want her on top of my blogs and thoughts. He He He (BTW Dear Shilpa warm wishes for the coming baby)
But suddenly, it was K who jolted me out of my Kumbhkarnic Slumber to post something on my most favorite piece of real estate on internet before the clock struck the fog covered, freezing cold midnight in Gurgaon .
K --- “ek baar meine jo commitment kardi do to phir mein salman bhai ki bhi nahin sunta” :-) Thanks for making me write this.
As I write this, New Zealand has already welcomed 2012 and I am just hoping before the new year steps in At Jat land of Gurgaon , I have complted my humble duty of adding my share of final words and phrases of 2011 on the mammoth online servers of Google where this blog is hosted.
And what’s the safest , quickest way to write something on the last day of the year than to put togther a Summary of how 2011 has been..........
As Sethi sahib introspect this year it was year of Anna Hazare, Kolveri Di , salman khan jalebi bai , and Honey Singh ( more tributes for Honey paaji are posted down)
As fate would have it , from a hardcore Delhi wala , I was transformed into jattan ka chhorran in Gurgaon as I shifted to Gurgaon this year to a house which according to colleagues at my office would give Burj Dubai a run for its money. Helipad at roof top, Golf Carts to take you from one room to another and acres of farmland spread across.
And as per the greatest tradition of Harayanvi folklore , I also bought a black Scorpio and now seriously thinking of having “Gujjar Boy /Jat boy” written on the back windshields , instead of “ Punajbi Munda” as planned earlier. Also, I guess writing "Happy , Bunty and Pinki thi Gaddi" would take some more time .
This year also saw me reading like the Maya prophecy of world coming to end in 2012 would come true. Despite regular protest at home, was able to successfully smuggle many books to my basement library. Thanks to unearthing of online treasure of holy site of Filpkart and heavenly concept of Cash on delivery for buying books. My range was endless and I read everything from Steve Jobs , to Devanand to Shohiab akhtar ( don’t look at me like this, mein sharam se sharma jaaonga ) to the news articles on the paper bags in which I brought Om sweets ke Mashoor Desi Ghee waale chole bathore.
I t was also a year of good friends. Eat loved prayed and did many LOLS with many new and old special ones. A got married, R is giving his best to get married, met new frnds at office , trained with new frnds at XLRI and bid farewell to SK. Shall miss the 3 o Clock tea SK used to prepare for me in the pantry.
Visited three J’s this year, Jaipur , Jamshedpur and Jim Corbett. Jaipur for Satsang, Jamshedpur for studies at XLRI and Jim Corbett for dancing on Jalebi Bai at office offsite. As you can see how I have emerged out as Raymond the complete Man , having happily incorporating satsag to Sherawat Malika in my life this year. Modesty thy name is Sethi Sahib :-)
Sethi Sahib’s Favorite music genre ( Hardcore Punjabi ) was greatly enriched by contributions from Honey Singh. I guess top 10 songs for this year for me would have at least 5 from Honey Singh alone. If I have loved anyone more than Hmesh Reshamiya this year it was Honey Singh. Oh Yo- Yo Honey Singhhhhhh, as he likes to call himself. Paaji tussi great ho !
Other songs that touched my heart were Lolipop lagele, meow meow billi, excuse me miss subhalakshmi and ankh da kara. YouTube, heartiest thanks to you, you played a great role in satisfying , sethi sahib’s musical soul to the core.
And in the end , Sethi Sahib wants to thank everyone who have touched my life this year and also to everyone who I haven’t met /spoken/written/chatted /emailed/ scrapped / Smsesd/ facebooked/ linked Ined this year We may not have spoken much this year , We may not have spammed each other mailboxes , we may not have excahnged statuses on the hundreds of social networking sites , but I owe each one of you my sincere gratitude for making me who I am…..in short a nut case :-)
And for next year just wanted to quote from my ever favorite Ghalib Sahib Ghazals:
Dekhiye paate hain usshaq buton se kya faiz,Ek brahmin ne kaha hai keh yeh saal accha hai.
Hamko ma'aloom hai jannat ki haqeeqat lekin, dil ko behlane ko, 'GHalib' KHayaal achcha hai
Happy New Year !
PS: Since Shilpa is now happily married and starting a family soon in 2012, this year end it would be Salman Bhai’s Pic :-)
