Akkad bakkad

Welcome welcome welcome!!! Before we proceed any further, allow me to clarify that this is just a regular new year resolution post. Considering there are already few million similar posts floating all over the web, I decided not to reveal it till you get here. Yes, I agree, there is absolutely no reason for you to be bothered about my new year resolutions but this can be a very useful guide for you to know what exactly you should avoid . Now publishing a resolution post on 9th of January and wishing all of you a happy and prosperous should ideally manifest my dedication, sincerity and punctuality. But before I go ahead with my earth shattering list of resolutions, it would only be apt to briefly describe how I spent the last day of the year, yup that’s the standard procedure. Well my eve looked more like a scene from a Satyajit Ray movie with an exception of those incredible 15 minutes when I watched Don 2, ok you got it. But no Shah Rukh Khan, Farhan Akhtar or their marketing gimmicks can deceive me as long as those benevolent rebels keep uploading pirated versions of all the new releases on internet. Am I correct Mr. King Khan?

It was just another day for me as I went out for my customary evening walk. No it’s not part of my fitness regime, but to ensure that I buy enough cigarettes for an uninterrupted lung cancer experimentation. Ok so with a Nirupa Roy expression I came out of my house and immediately my long lost headache resurfaced. No I don’t have any brain tumor or sinusitis, but if 15 houses around you simultaneously play “kolaveri di” then you have no other option but to embrace that headache with open arms. When I reached the main road I saw one guy, who used to be my friend few decades ago, (I generally use past tense for all my after few months) in his car playing …….yup (dating his girlfriend was not a wrong decision after all). Kolavedi Di has become a rage even in my town, usually music lovers here heavily rely on Hindi songs with sporadic Bengali numbers, but in last few years songs from south broke all the barriers and traversed 4000 kms to enter our small little town. So I can safely assume that in future we will widen our range a little further and include western music in our collection as well. As of now if you ask anyone to play an English song he will promptly play “just chill chill, just chill” with a subtle gyration as illustrated in the following exhibit -

BTW if anyone can define the color of the t-shirt shown above please let me know, even Asian Paints shades card succumbed to its uniqueness. Is this actually a color or a problem with my monitor? Anyway further down I saw a few people hysterically buying beverages from the concerned shops and this war-like urgency could have been misconstrued as an impending dry state announcement. Have fun guys, I am counting on Mayan Calendar, see you in hell next year :twisted: .

Ok now that you have realized that my New Year eve doesn’t actually qualify for a mention even in obituaries, let’s move on with my New Year resolutions then (mostly related to my blog):

Some of the things I have already implemented successfully e.g. a legible template for human readers. And yes a less frightening profile picture (only here, not on indiblogger), a lot of effort has gone into this picture and the reason behind this ‘Saawariya’ special effect is to hide my wrinkles and gray hair.

Also I have taken off the rating from my posts as one guy comes from nowhere, gives me a one rating every time, and leaves without leaving any traceable mark (what is this nonsense? :D ). Now this proves that he is a genuine reader but probably a one rating doesn’t serve this noble cause of flaunting the rating.

  • Will publish a post only when I finish proofreading (yeah right). As of now I keep editing my posts even after publishing them, so if you refresh the page you might see new lines popping up everywhere or if your comment is based on a particular statement then you might want to come back later and see if that statement is still there.
  • Religiously read all the spam comments which that stupid spam filter blocks. However, I have the privilege to view them in the spam folder. These comments give a whole new dimension to entertainment. And it gives me immense pleasure to announce that the number of spam comments have gone up significantly over the past few days.
  • Will continue to force people to read my posts and vote for them.
  • Read at least 50% of the posts I vote for ;)
  • Will stop following my own blog.

General resolutions:

  • Smile all the time; even while checking my share prices or watching Ram Gopal Verma’s movies :mad: ; “Control”.
  • Hit the gym, no no don’t close the page, let me elaborate. As strange as it may sound, occasionally I do bless the gyms with my gracious presence; however, all I do there is fiddle with the music system or chatter with the instructor about Indian Idol. Not anymore, this time I will go there with a purpose, I will not fiddle with the music system anymore, I will actually play some nice songs and will have constructive discussions with the gym instructor, may be about movies.
  • Find a new city/town/village to live in. Kind of getting bored of the same faces, asking me the same question everyday “so how are you?” (Completely ignore them, their lives don’t depend on your answer). May be I will explore a hill station, ask everyone weird questions, like “where is the cricket stadium?” or “where does Dalai Lama stay?” and establish my tourist status. And then go to the hilltop, look through the cloud, clench my fists and scream “o huzoor, tera tera tera suroooooor”

  2. would love to watch u sing that number :D if possible in pakka HR ishtyle

    english songs = just chill chill !!! that was funny

    this was one New year resolution related post i loved reading

  3. keerthana told:

    Y do u act so eternally modest?..I think it is forced and somewhat sarcastic :D ..and ur indiblogger picture is really scary!…I can totally imagine u singing, “Tera tera teraaaaaaaa suroor”

  4. Shreya told:

    The indiblogger pic is confusing, to say the least. Good luck with those resolutions!! Seem rather doomed to begin with :D :D :D

    • i know its confusing and thats why its still there, gets me few extra votes ;)

      who said i have to follow these, i can just copy paste the entire thing for my 2013 resolution post, if i m alive of course.

  5. Hahaha! Another delightfully disaster post! :P
    Enjoyed it! :D

  6. That last resolution of yours could actually be the real reason for why the Mayan’s predicted that date, because it will shake mountains and move seas. God bless us all!!

    ROTFL to your post btw!!

  7. It would do me good to follow few of those resolutions too.. I often find mistakes in the post only after I publish it.
    Loved your last resolution the best though..

    • this is something i ll never understand :D . cannot see those mistakes before i publish my post. yeah last one is on the cards, soon, might go for a different song though :D . thanx for ur comment and encouragement.

  8. Aabha Midha told:

    Put a BIG smile on my face. That is your forte!

    Happy New Year Debjyoti. And Plssssssss change the indiblogger pic. You KNOW what happened! ha ha ha!

    • thank u so much for this wonderful comment. and as far as the pic is concerned, yup i ll change it, soon :D . till then let me confuse everyone for some more time. and wish u a fabulous new year.

  9. I am here on day 1 and u already have so many comments!! You are getting famous, babumoshai!
    Funny post, as usual……and in true Deb style, you have seamlessly jumped from one thing to next with healthy servings of humor:))
    I am not buying the ‘wrinkles and grey hair’ bit….that brings up an image of someone wise…and frankly, ur posts give an image of a spoilt, rotten brat who doesn’t harbor any remorse for dating a friend’s girlfriend….but in a cute, lovable way!
    Now I am off to youtube that HR song…..have to conjure an image of you singing it on a hilltop!!

    • only few comments :( but i seriously consider myself lucky to even get few comments here. thanx again for all the encouragement, feels great. thats the only reason why i write otherwise i dont like writing :D . btw ur comments look better than my entire post.

  10. Meera told:

    Hey,

    Himes bhaiya is a favorite in our house so if you do the fist clenching rendition of tera suroor, I demand you shoot a video of it, too. It’ll play on continuous loop at my house. Soon, you will be rivaling Kolaveri for the number of hits. And then when you step out of your house, your entire neighborhood will be playing your version of Tera Suroor.

    • i wud love to do that. i ll do both, tera suroor and kolaveri. ll see which one works. only problem is that there are quite a few stray dogs near my house and i m not sure whether they ll like the idea, especially tera suroor. they might think i m making fun of them.

      • Meera told:

        You make sure Himes bhaiya doesn’t follow your blog, he’s going to be mighty offended :P . DH will take offense too. At one time, jhalak dikhlaja was the anthem in our house.

        • don’t show this comment to DH :( as far as himesh reshmiya is concerned it sudn’t be a problem, he got used to it :D . and if he follows my blog then i wudn’t mind writing the same thing again. anything for cheap publicity :D

  11. N i X told:

    ROFL… Honestly, Kolaveri is giving me quite a headache too… I am actually scared if foreigners start believing that this the (sub)standards of our music!!! Yuck!!!

    Quite a funny bunch of resolutions… Loved the gym-wala resolution the most… I do grace the place with my presence too… Rarely… Hope to stick to it this time… All the best… :) For both blogging and general resolutions!!!

    • i guess this song is topping the chart everywhere, played it once, yup thats bout it.

      oh yeah pretty serious about those resolutions :D . want to be a serious blogger and look like a rockstar 8-)
      thanx a lot for dropping by

  12. What can i say ?People have already said everything.Next time i will rise early from my beauty sleep.Akkad bakkad takes me back to my childhood games–not that i am old!!!!!!

    • thank u so much, that’s really sweet of u. but don’t worry u can finish ur beauty sleep and then visit my blog :D . and yes akkad bakkad takes all of us back to our childhood games and i m old :D .

  13. Bikram told:

    all the best with the resolutions … and when you find a place do let me know too .. I would like to find that place too .. for peace

    my new years well it ended at 10pm only i was tooo drunk to wait for the clock to strike midnight :)

      as far as my resolutions are concerned, these are all hypothetical resolutions, only for a post ;) shhhhhh

      thank u so much for dropping by

  14. deepazartz told:

    The indiblogger pic is confusing, right! Nice resolutions… Mayan calendar! Let’s wait and watch:)

    • isn’t it confusing :D . i love that. oh Mayan calendar, ppl might pray for it considering the rate at which i m submitting my posts, by december 2012 my blog is going to be unbearable :D .

  15. lol ..

    regards
    rahul

  16. Purbaray told:

    Exactly! why that frightful picture on Indiblogger? It stands out for all the wrong reasons.

    And your resolutions are far from run of the mill.

    Love your delightful sense of humour :)

    • the problem is i cannot change that picture abruptly now, will affect my votes :D . but soon. as far as my resolutions are concerned, i already forgot what i wrote on the post. thanks a lot for visiting my blog.

  17. bemoneyaware told:

    Reading your post always brings smile to my face. Happy New Year to you too and your post is timed well. I would not have read it had it been posted in 1st week.
    RGV movie,does he make any more..
    Keep us posted on how your resolutions went!

    • thank u so much. yes RGV still makes movies, a real concern for everyone. of course i ll keep everyone posted on the implementation part of my resolutions. i just need something to write

  18. Bindu Juneja told:

    Whenever I get any little vaila (free) time these days (with kids at home and winter vacations extended), I make it a point to quickly go through any post of yours to do my immediate paisa-vasooli :-)

    Inspired by such great humor around, I also tried my hands at it in my recent post

    • it makes me feel great when someone says my post is good coz even i m not sure. thank u so much. and i have checked ur blog innumerable times in last couple of weeks for any update. so finally ur new post is there, have to read it.

  19. Happy New Year and Hope you manage to do all the things that you aspire to in this new year.

  20. ROFLMAO! Hilarious!
    {:^D€=; heres another smiley. A gift from me for this great post. That gym paragraph really made me show all 32 teeth. And don’t delete that paragraph now that I have commented specifically for it ;)

    • hey thanx. no i ll not delete this paragraph now, coz i m already thinking bout my next post :D . this smiley of urs is not working, lemme do some experiment with it and see if we can come up with something cool :D . thanx a lot for ur comment.

  21. Haha…it was fun to read this…seems you got to change your city soon…or you might move to the third world by the end of this year if u follow the Mayans! :D

  22. zephyr told:

    I got this in my mailbox yesterday after having subscribed to your blog a couple of days earlier. So is this part of your new year resolutions too — to post the new year post every quarter or something? :D Love the way you write. I have been reading some of your older posts too. btw., would love to know where exactly you live. It sounds like serious competition to my hometown :D

    • Debajyoti told:

      oh there was some problem with the feed yesterday so it was acting crazy :D . actually i got scared when i came to know about it coz ppl r already unsubscribing.

      i live in a very small, remote town called Silchar, that’s in Assam. it’s a different world here :D

      thank u so much for reading although i need to work on my writing and more importantly proofreading :D

  23. shubham told:

    omG..this was superb…too good…i wish i had read it earlier…it the moment when you keep saying shit to appreciate the sheer beauty with most disgusting word..shit shit shit..
    editing after publishing is hahahaha..what to say..on indiblogger i submitted a post saying “Sun Sings” instead of Sun signs..cudn’t change it though..it was an eye sore..and last…those questions …where does dalai lama stay…killing..that’s what i try to do..to think completely absurd..but i never felt i did it so good as u did…i was stumped ..clean bowled….giving looks like how azahrudine used to give…as if he was surprised that he was out when actually he was not..

    • Debajyoti told:

      so much compliment. i m not used to it :D . well, u cannot edit anything on indi. so if make a mistake there, it will always stare at u for the rest of ur life :D .

      don’t worry we ll find out Dalai Lama’s address. thank u so much for this wonderful comment.
