Everybody sent questions for Saurabh to Tarak.. Tarak published them 2 days later...
Now Saurabh would have actually felt as if he is sitting on the hot-seat of a reality show...
He had to answer all of them... Most of us do not know Saurabh so closely.. so most of the questions were asking about him, Priyanka, his social / married life, his family etc.. There were a few tricky questions as well...
And after reading the answers, all of us felt that he answered with honesty and all the answers were "direct dil se" .. this was the first time i got to know so much about Saurabh.. I have never met him or priyanka.. oh btw.. Saurabh is married to Priyanka.. and they are the blessed parents of a sweet daughter Mahek :)
Now I want to meet all three of them :) :)
Below are the questions asked and answers that Saurabh gave..

SP: There is no specific day, when She or I proposed each other, but over the time, commuting in the same bus, made it easy. And just for the sake of formality, I proposed her in the bus with the plastic rose. :P (But people say, Not I, but she proposed me ;) )
3) Your first crush before Priyanka, obviously;-)?

SP: Nop, but on my first night… my friends asked to have beer party. We got 2 beer bottles, asked them to spare some for me and Priyanka. But I didn’t get more than a sip, as they spilt one bottle while opening and the other they enjoyed. :D

Food:
Most of the days we ate Masala Roti and achhar. The reason was, we could manage with very less utensils and water. All the members of the building were eating together. While fishing for things in water, we got 500gms pure ghee in complete packed condition. We prepared “Sukhdi” for people. We couldn’t drank tea/ coffee for a week until we got some milk. On the last day, we got 3 liters of Milk and had plenty of tea and coffee. The list of things I got from fishing was very long…
Sleep: For the first night, we slept in out apartment which didn’t had good facilities (Our apartment never had good furniture. :D ).

We used perfume (obviously not ours) to make ourselves tolerable.

SP: It happened many times, but couldn’t do that. But in my college, I did a big “Kaand”. I slept a girl in our class room.
One fine day, I and Priyanka were coming back to ahmedabad from our college (Gandhinagar) in state transport bus. My classmate (Heta) and her friends were playing game “Truth or Dare”. Heta was the most arrogant person in our class. She challenged her friend to hit(I couldn’t found appropriate word) me on my head. She did it and told me that she was sorry as it was a game. I and Priyanka were shocked to see that as we were not even part of that game. Other passengers were also looking at me strangely.
The next day, I determined to slept her. I entered the class and slept her on her face and said “This is what called dare!”

The Pan-Chat Show Episode 1 - 1
Saurabh is the hot seat celebrity
************************************
(29th october, 2009)
Pratham adhyaay aarambh kar rela hu…
Majak majak me kaafi log aa gaye hai yaha par…
Jee haan dosto… ab aap bhi hissa le sakte hai The Pan-Chat Show me…
Agar aapke paas aise sawal hai jo aap hamesha hi Saurabh ko puchhna chahte the ya fir aisi baatein jo aap janna chahte hai..
To uthaiye apna keyboard aur likh daaliye wo sawals …
Lekin yaad rahe sawal sirf mujhe … yani ki aapke dost aur iss show ke host ko hi bhejiyega…
Ab mai aap logo ko apne pahele celebrity Saurabh ka introduction bhi de hi deta hu…
He is the one who met me in a train for the first time and the journey went along quite long after that and rite now he is one of my closest buddies ever! After the first meeting in the karnavati express, we spent our training era together in Surat where we were roomies. (U might get to read a long story about the Surat life of Saurabh in a few weeks or months as he is planning to write a book on that!) He got engaged to Priyanka(his classmate) after a few hassles (now i wont describe them, but u r free to ask him about that J) and i became a paying guest at our home after his marriage. The life was getting settled for him and once there came a huge flood in Surat and we almost saw the heaven’s doors by getting caught in a flooded area and eating food packets thrown by army helicopters when the river Tapi was just running through our home! The six days spent in the flood were amongst the last days for me in Surat and I decided to move to Pune to join Persistent and soon after that Saurabh came here too but not for a long time as he moved back to Ahmedabad. Around a year back, he and priyanka were blessed with a baby girl ‘Mahek’ and now he is a family man :)
Tarak is the host...
Tarak will introduce Saurabh :)************************************

Some good qualities about him include friendly, amicable, practical, very punctual and active. We were completely dependent on him for our journey tickets to ahmedabad every month.
Now, i will not describe everything about him here and will give the audience a chance to ask questions to him. There are many aspects of his life which are not known to many of us, so what r u waiting for, just write down ur questions and send it only to ME. The questions will be asked on the first show.
Please send ur questions to me before Saturday EOD and if we ll get a date from Saurabh, we ll have the show aired on Monday!
Tab tak ke liye, Have a gud time and Likhte rahiyega…
Tarak!

I thought I was changed…
Today I have completed 2 yrs in the UK. I had actually forgotten this date. However, a funny question reminded me of that.
There are some issues with my movement to another IDU and they needed some information of mine. They asked me a question “When did u first land in UK?” Funny question, as if I had landed on moon that day. And after I replied to that email, I realized it’s been two years.
Two years is a long time. I still can’t believe I have stayed here for such a long time. And that too away from family and friends … I simply believe that the only thing that keeps you going is family and friends and I am the kind of person who used go home every other weekend when I was in Pune. And now once in 1.5 yrs. Seems I have gained a lot of strength and a lot more patience.
That was the time when ppl used to call me an emotional fool. I think I have grown up now. I have become a lot more practical. Now, I can smile even in front of ppl I just hate. I can stay in hostile environment and adjust to any place. And the biggest achievement is that I seldom cry J May be I have adjusted to the new environment. I can politically handle all the political ppl around me. Oh yeah. And I now know how to look gud ;) And there are many other things I am not able to think of right now.
However, I am still the same confused person. I am still not able to decide whether the change is for gud or bad.
I was talking to Spruha the other day and I was telling her the same thing. That I have changed and I can now adjust to any environment. And she replied “But you still talk the same things”. May be you never change to the ppl you love.
This time when I was coming to UK I was feeling very nostalgic and very sad. The first two times I hardly cried. But this time I cried in the flight, in the airport while waiting for next flight, in the bus while travelling to MK. And I just didn’t want to come back. This was the thing I had least expected.
I miss India so much. As they say and it’s very true – East or west.. India is the best J
Hmm.. the point is that the change is quite evident. But somewhere inside I feel I am still the same person. I cry when I miss my ppl, am happy and contented with small things and am still an emotional fool; I hardly use my brains and believe in whatever my heart says.
May be my behavior and attitude towards life are changed; but I have not.

lonely
Apart, aloof and aloneBut I am not lonely
I am full of myself
With some shattered dreams and some sorrows..
Searching for a new beginning
A new reason to smile
Someone to love
And a new life to live….
Misery
I am lost in the labyrinth of sorrow,
Desires are wrecked and hopes have died in vain.....
I have directions, some of my own
Some shown by others
But every boulevard leads to insanity....
Jee Le
Ye zindagi hai thodi si, par raah nahi hai aasaan..
Kabhi hai khushiyon ki barsaat, to kabhi hai dard ke toofaan…
Thodi si khushiyaan de de,
aur le le thode se gam,
Par dil jaise chahe waise jee le,
Kabhi thoda zyada to kabhi thoda kam…
Dukh mein bhi hasne ke liye,
Bana le kuch dost..
Aur zindagi mein pyaar bhar ne ke liye
Chun le ek jeevansaathi…
Phoolon ki khushboo ko mehsoos kar le,
Chalti hui hawaon ko thoda sa choo le…
Aur khule aasmaan mein, apne armaano ko
Panchiyon ki tarah zara sa khula bhi chod de….
Bhar le aankhon mein kuch sapne…
Aur bana le unko raahi apne …
Unhe toot ke bikhar te hue bhi dekh le
Aur unhe poora hone ki aankhon mein khushi bhi dekh le..
Thodi si khushiyaan de de,
Aur le le thode se gam,
Par dil jaise chahe waise jee le,
Kabhi thoda zyada to kabhi thoda kam…
Ye zindagi hai thodi si, par raah nahi hai aasaan..
Kabhi hai khushiyon ki barsaat, to kabhi hai dard ke toofaan…
Kabhi hai khushiyon ki barsaat, to kabhi hai dard ke toofaan…
Thodi si khushiyaan de de,
aur le le thode se gam,
Par dil jaise chahe waise jee le,
Kabhi thoda zyada to kabhi thoda kam…
Dukh mein bhi hasne ke liye,
Bana le kuch dost..
Aur zindagi mein pyaar bhar ne ke liye
Chun le ek jeevansaathi…
Phoolon ki khushboo ko mehsoos kar le,
Chalti hui hawaon ko thoda sa choo le…
Aur khule aasmaan mein, apne armaano ko
Panchiyon ki tarah zara sa khula bhi chod de….
Bhar le aankhon mein kuch sapne…

Life and Death
Of late I have been hearing a lot about “life and death”. Two weeks ago while I was leaving for office, a Christian couple; quite old, around 60 -65 yrs of age; came to our house. They were actually going to everybody’s house and distributing pamphlets which contained a few things like “Do I believe in GOD?” “Salvation” “Does GOD help you when you in trouble?” “Re-birth” “What after death” etc. So it was all about life and death. They asked me a few questions. I could answer about life but had no idea about death. I told her that about death the only thing I know is that when people die, we lose them forever.
In Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood was asked about life and death where it is shown that he knew more about death than life. A friend of mine asked me if I have ever felt in my life; maybe for a moment; that I ll die. Another friend told that he had experienced once how it feels when you die. You see, a lot of discussions.
You earn a lot all your life; money, fame, name, respect, love; but when it comes to death, nothing helps. They say when you die you take nothing with you. Yes; you die lonely. For some your death will be a loss of life, for some just the loss of your name and some will not even know that u existed. May be if u create some history, many will remember you. But still there will be a few who would not even know your name. Like the maid at my house in Baroda doesn’t know who Sardar Patel was.
Some say life do exists after death, some say a new journey begins at death, some talk about “Moksha”, some about re-birth. With all due respect to everybody’s views, I say I believe in just one thing “U live just one life”. May be because I haven’t experienced anything like “death” or “after death” and if at all I ve experienced I don’t remember J
So I believe in just one thing- this is my only life.
I can’t say how much life everybody has, but we should make the most of the time we have. Doing good to many and some bad to may be a very few ;). Enjoying every moment to the fullest. Loving the loved ones as much as we can.
Hmm.. actually I don’t know why I wrote about “life and death”. May be I gave it a thought because of the discussions around me. And as such, I have nothing to convey. Just a realization –
“There is a more important thing than ‘life and death’. And that thing is living”

can't think of a title for this :)
It seems I have started getting the answers..
When I thought I loved you, my mind said
No, it was not possible..
And my heart said, he deserved someone better….
Deep Inside there was something, that was not convinced…
When I cried, there was something that always cheered me up..
When I was down, there was something that always supported me..
When I felt lonely, something inside me tried saying no I was not..
But I never knew what that something was…
There was always something that doubled my happiness..
There was always something that believed in me..
There was always something that gave me the courage
The strength I always needed, to be myself…
I wanted to know what that something was…
And it took me time to realize that ….
It took me time to realize that; the something inside me
Was nothing but your love…
It took me time to realize that you were within me,
When I was trying to look for you..
It took me time to realize that you loved me from..
Even before I had a thought, that I loved you :)

lucky draw
What if GOD declares a lucky draw for tomorrow
And decides to shower all his blessings on someone
Keep your fingers crossed and your hopes high,
As that lucky one; might be you
What if tomorrow you wake up
All your worries are gone…
And the first ray of the sun,
fills your heart with happiness and fun…
What if tomorrow you wake up
You have no work to do..
All that you aspire is yours
And all that you dream for turns into reality…
What if tomorrow you wake up
All your near and dear ones are around you
All your foes turn into friends
And the love finds its way..
What if tomorrow you wake up
And you know that; that lucky one is not you
Don’t lose spirits
Don’t get depressed
You have a very less life to live
Do not grumble and not cry..
Take the power and decide on
How you want to live your life…
“Remember; every moment once gone, will never come again...
Enjoy life to the maximum..”
And decides to shower all his blessings on someone

life sometimes
Seems like life is a puzzle
And I am confused -
Every time I try to find the solution
And the problem gets changed....
Sometimes I feel, the horizon is blurred
And when I open my eyes, no one is around
At other times I feel, the life has open it's arms
And I have many; hands to hold….
I keep running; And with each passing day,
run with a greater speed; with the hope of reaching the line..
But when I seem, close to the line
I see it goes missing....
I hope someday, I would reach the line
And someday I would, uncover the solution
But if the problem does not change
How would I call it a LIFE?
This is how life is - now and again...
And I am confused -
Every time I try to find the solution
And the problem gets changed....
Sometimes I feel, the horizon is blurred

And I have many; hands to hold….

And someday I would, uncover the solution

Is that me or it is you?
When I am upset, there is a tear in your eye
When I am happy, there is a smile on your face
I am not sure who resides in me
Is that me or it is you?
You have sleepless nights when I work till late
You too stay hungry when I m not in a mood to eat
You get worried when I get hurt
You look fresh when I sleep for long
I am not sure who takes care of me
Is that me or it is you?
Sadness touches your heart before it comes to me
Happiness brings twinkle in your eyes
before it brings smile on my face
Words come out of your mouth before thoughts enter my mind
I am not sure who has my heart
Is that me or it is you?
I was upset and was crying
Wanted to spend some time with me
But I missed you when I was with myself
I am not sure who do I wanted
Was that me or it was you?
I have asked a thousand times to me
Who is my life?
Is that me or it is you?
I get no answer :)

The Matrix
some dialogues from the movie
my favourite ones
"Have you ever had a dream, that you were so sure was real. What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?"
"You have to let it all go. Fear, doubt and disbelief. Free you mind"
other gud ones
"How do you define real?"
"Human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world (where no one suffered and all would be happy) was a dream."
"I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me he told me that I wansn't looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It's the question that drives us."
"Don't think you are. Know you are"
"Stop trying to hit me. And hit me"
"There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path"
