The Morning Chat!!!

Devam doesnt want me to write this blog!!! He has pleaded me umpteen times not to put our conversation on the blog... but believe me... chatting with him is one of the biggest 'botox' like shot that i can give to my life. I woke up at 5am today to cover the annual rath yatra in ahmedabad. I got home and when i logged onto write my script... viola... i found devam online.

The morning chat started from life's philosophy, went onto global warming, to this road trip i want to go on, to not wanting to get married, to ruining amul's life after marriage and finally goodbye. It was time for him to go to sleep in Barack Obama's land.


He has asked me not to reveal much about him. He wants to enter films with a bang... as if he came from no where... :)


But thats not possible when he has an elder sister, who not only talks too much but can also write and has an exclusive rights to a blog. Dear Devam, you are still to have your fans.... I already have them. :) I have to live upto their expectations. I know you will understand this bit.

So here are some highlights of the conversation.... enjoy!!!

Devam's New Found Philosophy

devam: all u want is everythin.. is tht a problem

well yes it is

materialism is a enemy of time..

me: ohhh ya

someone is becoming very philosophical

devam: ofcourse

me: the thing is

i feel... i have one life to live

and why cant i have everything?

devam: if u have 1 life to live

find the true meaning to it

and contribute to the world

me: ohhh ya????

devam: theres more happiness in giving then taking

me: dont u think i have given enough

devam: nope

me: why dont other people give me anything

devam: the process will only begin when ull realise the true meaning to ur existence

me: true meaning of my existence is that i work too hard for kind of salary i earn

i need to take it a little easy

put my feet up

chill my heels

smile a little more

devam: yes

me: close my eyes

devam: u can do tht

me: and relax

and even go to sleep

if i can do all this by a beach in goa.... nothing like that

devam: yup

n once u r done attaining calm

go help the world

give give give

n get the pleasure of giving

Observation: I couldnt believe it was my own brother talking. A person who can buy a shirt worth Rs 13000/- without thinking of those lakhs who go hungry to bed everynight... has suddenly transformed into this 'giver' of the world.

Devam on Global Warming

devam: wid Industrialization, r they growing more trees?

me: yes they are

u shall be surprised

devam: ok very good

me: but our highways are fantastic

thy have grown trees in between

devam: Al gore is a Green Revolution ambassador

does tht mean he shud stop flying and go by car everywhere

me: no... he should cycle

devam: mebbe next time when he crosses the atlantic, he shud build a highway in order to save fuel

me: or even better... conduct online conferences and save paper and fuel

devam: yeah rite

me: well... ppl who are concerned... can do things

devam: only 13% of the world population is internet savvy

me: people who just need to talk... will definitely find excuses

devam: it doesnt work liddat

dun talk like a chhota aadmi

think in terms of gore or me

devam: its almost impossible to reach out to common man, which is y we have to reach out to ppl like u

Devam on pursuing me to marry...

devam: before ur wedding, we acharyas we'll definitely go to a undisclosed holiday for 3-4 days

me: i dont want to get married...

devam: haha

me: is there any need to change wagon r's colour, tyres, music system, garage, seat covers???

devam: i dunno.. i havent even seen tht car

me: same way... why do i need to change my name, residence, family, room, priorities....

devam: bcos car is a commodity and u r a person

me: but i am fine where i am

infact iam great where i am

devam: yes u r

me: why change it

devam: bcos u made the choice

we all have the choices.... ppl like d**** didi were successful daughter, professional..

but she never enjoyed the status of a successful wife or mother

or a daughter in law.. bcos they din choose to do so

they din choose to welcome new life..

uve made the choice, so stick by it and enjoy the ride

luckily u have a companion wid u on tht ride whom uve known for yrs n grown fond of

me: it sounds challenging...

infact i hate amul

he told me he would remarry the moment i died and i was out of his path

devam: haha

everybody waits for tht

me: why should i marry someone who's waiting for me to die so that he can remarry

devam: but majority of times the guy passes away before.. seein the ataychars from the so-called abla-naari

me: hahahahaha

devam: hahahaha

me: yes... i think i should marry

i want to do all the atyachaars on amul

devam: be peaceful, loving and giving

me: i will call him to get limbu and bateka

every evening

at 6pm sharp

even if he gets a kilo everyday... i will throw them away and remind him to get limbu

devam: dun throw them away

make limbu no ras

feed him

so tht gives him energy to bring some more limbus

Well... that was the end of it.... Devam finally was tired of talking to me... and called for a 'pack up'... He's off to sleep... while its time for me to check where Lord Jaganath along with his brother Baldev and sister Subhadra have reached in Ahmedabad.

Chao!!!
