Swag se Karenge Sabka Swagat!

Finally 31st of Dec again and another year has just rushed past. Time to write my yearly post and this year too, as always, K has been pushing me to sit and complete this annual ritual. And looking at her "telling u last time " looks in the morning , I know if I don't do it now, I m only getting Tinde , tori , ghiya and shalgam in my lunch box for the most part of 2018
So here is Sethi sahib  back again ...sitting on his drawing room seat, away from the hustle bustle of lobby area,(which btw also backs up as dangal arena for the boys) trying to contemplate on the year that has gone by and also on the lunch menu for the new year, if this one gets posted on time :-)
This year started in queues, courtesy modi'jis Mitroon call. ATM hunting became part of morning ablutions and  Cash was as scarce as hint of intelligent life in Rakhi Sawants mind. Then came Mr Trump in God bless Amreeka followed by something like GST which everyone is still trying to decipher.
There were lot of changes at work front too, many of the old colleagues and friends switched jobs, new people joined in, times are changing , robots are slowly coming and the matrix is going to be unplugged soon. Look out for that elusive NEO is on.
Personally, Chantu Bantu are growing now and if anything that can give dangal a run for its money are these two ustaads put together. You realized the importance of Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery as you run through your day, but at the end of the day, its them and their presence which puts a big smile as you crash out in the night.
K continues to be what she does best, handling a crazy guy like Sethi Sahib in her own way with additional responsibility of managing Chantu who looks like to be two steps ahead in his craziness, So thanks K for everything you do and also a big shout out and thanks to S and V too who are the stabilizing factor in life. I wish the best of world for them as they run through there share of highs and lows together. Mom and Dad,you are the glue which holds this whole world together. There are no words to express the gratitude for everything they have given and continue to give , every single day of our lives.
Some other Names and songs that resonate this year - Jasmine Sandlas ( Bamb Jatt, Munda UP), Shape of you, Despecito ( or what ever way its spelled), Ding Danng , Ek baar aa to sahi, Judwa 2 ( Chantu Bantus first favorite movie, will always remember , both dancing together in movie hall on the songs of this movie ) and last but not the least Doremon and Shinchan - they mysteriously appear on the TV after some minutes for some reason :-)
Baaki 2018 is just knocking on the doors, Hoping its good for everyone. Looking forward to welcome a new year, a new day , some new moments, new people, new hopes with our full Punjabi swag or as Salman Bhai , in his own poetic style puts together for all of us... " Swag se Karenge Sabka Swagat"
So be good ,be healthy , be happy and do whatever you want to do yaar..but don't trouble your mother!

                                                                          Chai
Sabka khyaal rakhti ho...
Kabhie taqleef mein bhi hansti ho..
Yeh gussa bhi achha hain..
Man se nahin ..woh man to saccha hain
Aaj tabiyat nasaaz hain...
Mujhe pata hain..auroon se raaz hain.
Phir bhi ek muskaan hain..
Himmat hain..lambi udaan hain
Woh himmat us zid se aayyi hain..
Jo khud se khud ki ladai hain.....
Yeh janta hoon...tum apni raah pechanti ho..
Sirf dil ki sunti ho ....aur apni hi maanti ho
Phir bhi Kabhie...rukne ka dil kare kisi meel ke pathar par....
...to mujhe apne peeche zaroor dekh lena..
Kuch baat karenge chai par..tum zor se hansna
Aur  phir se  chal dena...

Tuk Tuk Tuk Karti Chalti Meethi Thaari Zindagi

Yes Guys…. I know….I missed the deadline for updating my year end blog…. Silent stares I am getting from K remind me of Kejriwal talking about Mr. Jung in his press conferences and S is aptly playing the role of Mr. Sisodia in tow J . S & K combination is lethal everywhere and I can vouch for it

Or Maybe Sethi Sahib wanted to write on year start in 2017 rather than year end this year or maybe it was the writer’s block with record posting of 2 additional posts on 2016 …

Whatever it may be in my head …but here I am, sitting in front of my computer trying to pen down some thoughts while missing the New Year entertainment program of confused Yadav’s from hinterland of UP trying to expel each other in an infinite for loop …. BTW it was my favorite coding loop in school that helped students to hang the computer and let it crash.. J

About 2016… it had its own share of memories… if it’s not for K , I would not have been able to  enjoy my endless hours spent on news, books, social media channels, Reality shows and work at office …..I know Sethi Sahib gets into weird mode sometimes but it’s only because K let me be it… Thank you K

S & V welcome sabse chote sethi sahib...The Sexy Sam...and by god ki grace keh raha hoon …..he has stolen my heart with his smile.. V,S…Good going as mom and dad ( secret ..you are much better than me J)

Our rocky Sultan continues to bump me off from his ably acquired Gyan every day from every inch of this universe….. He is learning his daav pench in lifes akhara really well and I do hope he turns out to be the best  pehlwaan, haryane ki shaan , mahra sultan ….. in every dangal life throws at him.

About Mom, Dad ..they are the backbones of Sethi sahib’s house.. We are what we are is because of everything they do for us every day … I find really hard to pen down something about them here…But I guess they know what I want to express…

Other highlights from the year  …I somehow found myself in brazil for a month… Cool place ….Par brazil ke bhaiyoon..please thodi angrezi ya Punjabi seekh lo… I am telling you .. next time you do that .. Copacabana beach will only play honey singh , daljit, dr zeus forever …

November December was happening, while Modi ji made me remember to stand in banks queue again, Donald trump reaffirmed my faith in collective cluelessness. … R, we spent another year talking laughing cribbing.. .. I hope you find your right babe and right boss this year..And my Office had zinkiness written all over it … and sometimes it’s only the crazy zinkiness that helps you survive a tough year smiling ….

And from 2017.... my biggest, hope, pray wish is good health for everyone … I really pray for everyone’s good health and less visits to doctor this year…

In the end just wanted to say to everyone, who still manages to read my blog.. A big jhappi wala Thank You….

Once again , Signing off this yearly report card, by Salman bhai’s words ( My fav song this year )

Re tuk tuk tuk tuk karti chalti
Meethi thari zindagi
Re bole, re bole dhola dhol dhadak dhin
Dhadak dhin, dhadak dhin

Happy New Year 2017 !!
