Dear Loungers...
I have recounted the things that actually happened on Sandy's birthday! Sandy may try to refute what has been said here; unfortunately, you all just gotta decide whom to trust! I apologize for not posting these separately... it all just had to be together for the impact!
PART 1
Pre-script: Sandeep promised Neha a treat on his birthday. So, they plan to meet at Cafe Coffee Day. Neha had reached, and Sandeep had called up from the way to inquire about the ATMs nearby. Finally, Sandeep arrives.
Sandeep: Hi Neha.
Neha: Hi daa... why were you asking me about the ATMs nearby on the phone?
Sandeep: That's because I have only Rs. 20 in my wallet.
Neha: (Shocked) And you are going to give me a treat for your birthday?!
Sandeep: (Grins shamelessly)...
(5 lines)
PART 2
Pre-script: In continuation of the previous post...
Neha: Rs. 20? That's it? The coffee that I've ordered itself costs Rs. 52. What about the stuff that you are going to order?
Sandeep: Oh, didn't I tell you that I always fast on my birthday? Saatwik jeevan...
(Looks around)
Sandeep: Hey, they must be accepting credit cards here. I may be a pauper when it comes to cash, but credit ka toh apun abhi bhi baadshah hai... panditji ke dhaabe pe toh credit ka record bana diya thha maine!
Neha: (shrugs her shoulders)
Sandeep: (signals to the waiter) Do you accept credit cards here?
Waiter: Sorry sir...
Sandeep: (with a crest-fallen face) Neha, you heard him... can I borrow Rs. 32 from you?
Neha: Why Rs. 32... that's such an odd figure?
Sandeep: I may not have enough cash to pay for your coffee... but I still have my dignity... and Rs. 20 cash. So, Rs. 32... balance!
(9 lines)
PART 3
Pre-script: In continuation of the previous post...
Neha: Listen daa, I'll pay today. You can throw us all a party some other time. Come on now, call for something for yourself.
Sandeep: (face lightens up; grabs menu, searches, and calls the waiter) one Kaapi Nirvana for me....
Neha: Hey, that's the most expensive cuppa coffee here!
Sandeep: YOU are paying, right? (winks shamelessly)
Neha: (helplessly looks around)
(5 lines)
PART 4
Pre-script: In continuation of the previous post...
Waiter gets the coffees. Both have it.
Sandeep: Waiter, get us the check... Arey Neha, dekh kya rahi hai... cash nikal! (winks naughtily)
Neha: (sad)
Waiter: Sir, here's your check. Our swiping machine is working fine now. You can pay by credit card. May I take your card?
Neha: (face lightens up) oh sure, sure... Sandeep...
Sandeep: (frowns) ...
(6 lines)
PART 5
Pre-script: In continuation of the previous post...
Waiter: Sir, your card cannot be swiped. It's over-drawn. May I have another card or cash?
Sandeep: (shamelessly) Neha, please do the honors. (turns to waiter) you know, I give my money and cards to her for keeping them safely. She's my "headstrong boss."
Neha: Yeah, right! (turns to waiter) Here, take the cash. (turns to Sandeep) Who will keep the money for the tip?
Sandeep: Tu mujhe tip de de... rickshaw-waale ko dene ke kaam aayenge. Nahi to woh m,ujhe pakadkar maarega. Kahega "bada sahab bana firta hai... jeb mein to phooti kaudi tak nahi hai!"
Neha: Okay. I'll pay for the tip. But you don't even have enough money for a ride back! What are you going to do?
Sandeep: Bas... bahut ho gaya! Ab main aur insult bardaasht nahi kar sakta... I will withdraw some money from the ATM nearby.
Neha: Which ATM? You have an account in a different bank. You can't just look at the heavens and ask for money expecting it to fall as rain from the skies! Nonsense! Here... take Rs. 100. Return it to me later.
Sandeep: See, I knew it. With you around, I am safe. You are so protective. I have even said that about you in my interview!
Neha: (disgusted) can we leave now?
(9 lines)
PART 6
Pre-script: In conitnuation of the previous post...
Both get up to leave.
Sandeep: Aah, lady, like a chivalrous generous man, let me escort you to a rickshaw now. Come, after you!
Neha: Ayyo kaduvalle... Your birthday treat, but I pay the bill. I even tip the waiter! Then, turns out, you don't even have the money for a ride back. I lend you money for that! And now, your chivalry is bubbling... Nonsense!
Sandeep: Hehehe... en vazhi, thani vazhi...
Neha: (is too dazed to say anything) ...

BB - Big Balan/Birthday boy/Birthday balan!
I am supposed to write a dedication, but honestly speaking I am so overcome with emotion that I’ve apparently lost words to write, there are people who’re good at something and who so gloat over the fact that make others feel so little. And then there are genuinely good people in the orld, who’ll be there no matter what, who’ll correct you without ridiculing you (Aila islex ko itti si baat bhi nai pataa…) and you gladly learn, who can read your blog (and sometimes don’t) who can help you get your funny bone back and improve ur humor skills (and sometimes don’t :P oh of course no complaining, they have other *important* stuff too na hehe)
Its 11 30 already, 30 more minute and your Birthday will be gone, me and my procrastination :*sad sad*
But then I am always late, but never later than never :P
I don’t even know what I am writing, few things cant be explained na, so technically you all know what this place means to you, it is a home and you’re the mentor, the guru!
You’re just too amazing, MashAllah, as I say, the superlative of creativity, so may Allah keeps you from the evil eye and tonight, I pray that you may get all the best, very best, in terms of career, love, family and everything else! May you get the most beautiful flower of India, and may it just be the fairytale for you guru!
*sniff* Prays prays prays!
And ps. Don’t forget you’ve to meet me before your 30 :P rem?
I was supposed to write a poem, but i like prose more, and you'll also get a birthday wish from charcoal scratch - my brain farts :p
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3MwFy3HXZU
pps. Yes, The minni is me, i baked the cake!!

Sandeep:you only know this much about a founder member...!! shame shame puppy shame
he he...well...
Admin: sir,we r here for an interview
Sandeep:sandeep balan... a mallu...from god's own country, devil's own backyard!
I have been a nomad throughout my life. That has helped me experience a lot of varied cultures. Dad was in a transferable jo. Was born n brought up in mumbai. Have stayed in mumbai assam pune gujarat delhi rajasthan n now back to mumbai. Kerala is my haunt during vacations
Sandeep:yaa...same here! a tad disappointed you that you dont know much about this founder...tell me your name? how dare you became an admin?? he he he
Admin: how dare u ask my name?
Sandeep:what to do admin...i am blessed with such lil knowledge that had to start writers lounge...
acts like an extension to my brain...
Admin: oh i see
Sandeep:writers lounge is like my ventilator!
Admin: lol nice metaphor like ur ventilators :)
Sandeep:;-) metaphor? what is tht? ;-)
Admin: go and learn figure of speech
Sandeep:had i known what a metaphor was, i would have been in england
Admin: 7th std english grammar
Sandeep:i might have skipped that chapter!
Admin: oh yeah poor english ppl had to suffer... nw we r suffering in india coz of u we poor indians
Sandeep:takes a mental note of borrowing 7th std grammar books from neighbourhood kid
Admin: tell us more abt ur trsyt with yem bee aaye?
Sandeep:indians are the richest in the world coz of their rich traditions n culture
well...
Admin: tell us more abt ur trsyt with yem bee aaye?
Sandeep: I have never planned anything in life everything just shaped itself...on my part..i have just made sure that i live every second kingsize...because life does not give you a second chance
Admin: oh yeah thats true though
Sandeep:and you dont wish to look back after 30 years and sigh that you could have enjoyed so much...had you done this...had you done that...had you decided on this...had you decided on that...
Admin: living life at its best
Sandeep:so after boards...i ended up taking electronics engineering...doing what a normal kid would...following others...i think my next statement would change your opinion...
Admin: hmm how tell me
Sandeep:i realized that i had got into the wrong stream..he he...every circuit was a struggle...it never excited me much...i never had this thing for technical...MBA was a way to escape this hard core technical stuff...
Sandeep:apart from the spelling "E-L-E-E-C-T-H-R-N-O-C-I-C-H-S" ...i never learnt anything in those four years...had great difficulty in grasping this spelling as well but am glad that i would...that was one great achievement after 4 years
Admin: oh so u dont knw anything abt jfet,cmos, circuit designing etc so i sense u must have flunked several times
Sandeep:then CAT happened...just like that... life is too short to take mental notes of the subjects you flunk in
Admin: well thats life
Sandeep:you seem to know a lot about circuits...enjoy life admin...cmos n jfets are not going to come to your rescue in your deathbed ;-)
Admin: i know but thats wht engineering has to teach u knw jfets and all r not gonna help u in future but we have to study such useless things
Sandeep:it is the moments that you have lived that are going to make you feel that you atleast came close to "living" life
Admin: yes yes true agreed
Sandeep:see..."study" is a very inappropriate term here...by using that you are giving me an indication tht you are not loving what you are doing...when you "learn"...that is when you enjoy things...that is when you enjoy a course...listen to your heart...dont follow the crowd...follow your heart...
Admin: what will u do if u come to know that u are going to die tommorow?
Sandeep: I will sleep
Admin: sleep till u die ehh
Sandeep:I will sleep over it ya...if that's the fate..you cant change it... so why frown...why get tense...
Admin: yes yes
Sandeep:why miss out on those dreams that mind plays in its theatre every single night
Admin: but my question is wud u regret if u die tmrw
as ur just 25
Sandeep:so i will sleep... I wont regret dying
Admin: thats the spirit
Sandeep:I have never made any enemies in my life...I am surrounded with friends...friends who care...friends who may go to any lengths for a smile
and i have enjoyed every moment of the past 25 years of mine...smiling and making others
smile...when you have gifted smiles to others...it is a divine feeling...you feel blessed...
Admin: do u believe in the concept of hell and heaven?
Sandeep:I dont
I beleive in the power of the human mind to transform hell into heaven
I believe in the power of "self-belief"
I believe in the power of "love"
I believe in the power of "trust"
Admin: interesting reply a diff spectrum
Sandeep:hell is just the surroundings...till you dont change...it wont make a difference...
hell is within you...
Admin: yes yes its ur thoughts
Sandeep:not outside
Admin: whtever u think
Sandeep:exactly...
Admin: u and ste fight quite often and it has happen many times....the leg pulling business that u both do?? what is ur take abt it?
Sandeep:I love him the most That should answer your question
Admin: he has been the worst and has tried every spoof on u the malan being the popular
have u ever tried writing spoof series on him
Sandeep:I take it sportingly...I feel the biggest quality one can possess is the ability to laugh on himself/herself
ste somewhere lacks in this quality...but we are all humans...we learn...he is learning...and i am proud of what he is slowly transforming into...
Admin: thats nice and whts ur role in this transformation
Sandeep:My role...
Admin: yes
Sandeep:I just provide the platform :-)
Admin: oh yes the stepMAN..... being the one :p
Sandeep:he he...Things like that keep things light...we need some stress busters at the end of the day!there are only a handful of people who attempt humour...i believe its the toughest job to make people laugh at your jokes..its very easy to put across your emotions...but to cook something up which has people in splits...its damn tough!
Admin: one day if u find urself being lost in a crowd of around 20 million ppl and u find that u have lost all ur closed relations and best buddies in this event.What will u do?
Sandeep:I know that those who matter to me will find me no matter where i am lost

Sandeep:Blog is the inhaler I use to clean up my choked nose called "life". This choke can be defined as "struggles" which can only be decimated when you use a support system. Blog for me becomes that. Ensuring that i breathe freely. Everytime!
Admin:where is the rat hiding ,when the cat is still searching for it??
Sandeep:The rat was searching for the cat. Thats how life is. A never ending search. Things are never hiding from you, they are searching for you all the while. All that is required is a stroke of luck and some efforts. Depending on who puts in what, the rat may end up hiding in the cats belly or the cat may decide to abandon its search. Right now, i have a strong intuition that the rat is hiding is Ste's pocket. He is playing the "luck" trying to alter the "fate" of the rat!
Admin: if u cud say those 3 magical word of 'i love u "to some girl from lounge?who cud it be?

Admin: "We have seen the comic side of you. We've also seen the thinker and preacher in you. Tell us how much of each the real Sandeep is. select one 50:50, 30:70, 95:5?"
Sandeep: its 95:5 but the 5 overshadows the 95...thats what others say :-)

Admin: is it whoz granny is she lol
Sandeep: mujhe pata hota toh main aaj england main hota
Sandeep: i am very weak with general knowledge...i will try this question only in kaun barega crorepati
Admin: lets see what members have to ask you
kings asks "How do you manage your busy work schedule as an yembeeyae professional + life +t blogging and then foremost as one of the founder of WL - updating your personal blog, reading ,commenting and suggesting your views and managing the lounge as one of the admin?"
Sandeep: this defines life for me...
and if you are not busy with your life...what did you live?
Admin: chirag wants to ask"aap nashte mein kya khaate ho ...itne ideas aate hai aapke dimag mein .."
Sandeep: nashta nahi khaate...empty stomach is devil's workshop
Admin: kajal asks "5 things you expect in sme 1 who could be your soulmate"
Sandeep: 1) Beautiful eyes...coz eyes are the windows to ones soul...And i would love to see me when you look in those eyes..coz i think when you are soulmates your soul become one
2) Caring nature...She would understand me and know when i need her...without my saying a word
Admin: hmm
3) Love...Showering me with her unadulterated love 24x7...
Sandeep: 4) Being "Herself"....when she is with you..she is "herself"...no force can then break this bond!
5) Being "Mad"...i am a total crackpot...my soulmate would be the same...no...a pagli!
Admin: Ste wants to ask "what was ur life like before meeting ste,priyanka,neha,asbah,mona and many others from lounge?"
Sandeep: I was not living :-) it was something else :-)
Admin: oh yeah so wht "else" r u talking abt
Sandeep: I was "Liv" before meeting them...they added the "ing" factor
Admin: hmm
Admin: insiya asks " what is malan all about?"
Sandeep: malan is everything i am not...so i will die a peaceful man...been there..done that...all thanks to the creator of malan...chota ste :-)
Admin: prats asks " is malan inspired by your real life?"
Sandeep: i think i have answered that above
prats ka question waste...sorry prats!
Admin: prats asks "your proudest moment on WL"
she asked another one for u
Sandeep: he he he he...
the day we launched our first contest...and our chests swelled at the response...two entries...one from me...one from asbah...
ofcourse the chest has deflated quite a bit with time...it no more does with such less participation nowadays :-) :-) :-) :-) asbah..haina?lets unjinx them islexxx...what say?
Admin: hehe
Sandeep: okay...to answer prats first question...
malan + malan = balan...two negatives make up one positive...two malan posts may come near to what balan really is...he he he
Admin: hahaha funny
Admin: chronic writer asks " who is real sandeep balan? wht kinda characters make real sandeep?
Sandeep: the real sandeep balan is in the "sand" of sandeep and "bal" of balan sand is real...so are bal (hairs)...they form the real sandeep balan...
Admin: lol nice
Sandeep: ingredients for making sandeep balan: 1 kg cartoon characters...500 gms philosophers...2kg jokers...200 gms sentiments...700 gms fun
heat it on a medium flame...stir while heating
Admin: lol
Admin: neha asks "You have written a lot about love and philosophy. Do you yourself believe in true love at first sight? Or do you think true love takes time, meetings, getting to know and understand each other for it to grow in the hearts of 2 people?"
Sandeep: there is no definition to true love. No one knows what is true love. There is no explanation anywhere given that defines "true love" for you. It is what you think and like to believe. I have never seen a couple when they are in love fall short of branding it as "true love". And then they break up. But that does not mean that "true love" is non existent. It is like a flower which blooms in a desert. You dont know what caused it to bloom despite the unfavourable circumstances. It turns out to be the one drop of rain that found its way to make the flower bloom. The flower knows when it happens...so does the rain drop realize that it has been the reason for the flower to bloom. Its the knowledge. The acknowledgement. The understanding. You know. You dont have to force fit true love into the scheme of things. If it is, you will know. You feel the difference
Admin: asbah says "pick one for yourself: 1) Ayyaar 2) Ayaash 3) Badmash"
Sandeep: the third one :-)
Admin: rash asks "where is your party on 30th march?"
Sandeep: Where am I? Who am I? Who are you? Is this London?
Admin: heheh don't act seriously she wants to knw
Sandeep: seriously lets all pray for world peace on 30th of march and fast
Admin:ste asks "what does Ste means to you?"
Sandeep:Ste personifies "care" and "love" for me. The things he does for you. The way he makes you feel special. The way he gets on to your nerves (he he..but i love it all). The way he comes up with new ideas. Ste means "Writers Lounge" for me. Need i say anything more?
Admin:what about the sandeep balan award for excellence in writing??enlighten us more about it ?
Sandeep: Ha ha ha ha. That's Ste's way of showing that he cares. His way of gifting smiles to loungers, using me as the medium. I am game though. Though i am a novice myself and cant start of a self pompous award just like that, when ste declared it i thought we could use this in a fun way to recognize talent at our lounge. Ste makes me remind of "Dadasaheb Phalke Awards" every time i read the name of the award he has suggested! Phew....
Admin:wht does the logo in sandeep balan excellence award indicate?it shows a man popping out from a trophy...who is it and why is he doing this?
Sandeep: Thats me! Ste has once again raided my orkut album to steal one of the pics to make this badge. he he. I think Ste wants to convey the message...You may not like him. You may not know him...But you cant ignore him. ;-) ;-)
Admin: what do you think about the decorations at the lounge for ur bday?
Sandeep: i am speechless...touched...honoured...this is the best anyone has done for my bday ever!!the whole lounge celebrating..i cud not have asked for more!when we started off this place long back...i had no clue birthdays wud become so special...group hug... I love you, asbah n ste for being the catalysts for this wonderful place .....group huddle with ste and asbah
Admin: whts their contribution in lounge development? whats their role
Sandeep: i have always been of the belief...a blog is your alter ego...its what you are...its your feelings...your thoughts...so it invariably ends up as being you....the virtual you..."The Writers Lounge" is sacrosanct......bubbling with energy....enthusiasm...creativity....friendships...love....care....
Sandeep: this is because of the qualities ste and asbah possess which translated into the lounge had the foundation not been strong....this beautiful place wud have long been dead
Admin: yes yes and its still growing
Sandeep: each new member has added a new dimension to our blog but the core values remain intact...ste asbah n me define those core values...which will forever be cherished...
Sandeep: somehow...it was like the coming together of three seperate individuals...who were so different...yet had so much in common...and their baby....it had all the traits of these three...the traits which make these three what they are...which makes the lounge what it is......
Admin: what are your future plans for WL as blogger supports just 100 members ? and are you working for it?
Sandeep: my naughtiness was injected to the lounge back then!! he he he he...
There are plans in place...no need to fear...whats life without surprises? And we are best at surprising...Right asbah? Right ste?Ssshhhhhhhhh
Admin: hahaha waiting for your surprise for WL family
what do you think about this interview? and the interviewer?
Sandeep: Since micro-humour is the flavour of the month...people wont be used to this marathon-humour...fears some hospital cases!and the interviewer...intelligent...smart...dude...hero...heeralal
Admin: before leaving ...wht is ur message fr ste and asbah?
Sandeep: Ste: Your ordeal is not over. Till my grave....Asbah: Jinxed. Jinxed. Jinxed. Stay the way you are. Till my last breath
Admin: your message for loungers
Sandeep: We inspire...We intoxicate...We create magic... "T-O-G-E-T-H-E-R"even a letter missing would end the spell..... thanks for joining us in this journey to neverland.....and thanks for accepting our request to join our family.....Love you all....Each one of you! The lounge is nothing without you all. You make it what it is! Keep rocking. Keep smiling. F or life is too short. Gooooooooooo Get It!

Sandeep:you only know this much about a founder member...!! shame shame puppy shame
he he...well...
Admin: sir,we r here for an interview
Sandeep:sandeep balan... a mallu...from god's own country, devil's own backyard!
I have been a nomad throughout my life. That has helped me experience a lot of varied cultures. Dad was in a transferable jo. Was born n brought up in mumbai. Have stayed in mumbai assam pune gujarat delhi rajasthan n now back to mumbai. Kerala is my haunt during vacations
Sandeep:yaa...same here! a tad disappointed you that you dont know much about this founder...tell me your name? how dare you became an admin?? he he he
Admin: how dare u ask my name?
Sandeep:what to do admin...i am blessed with such lil knowledge that had to start writers lounge...
acts like an extension to my brain...
Admin: oh i see
Sandeep:writers lounge is like my ventilator!
Admin: lol nice metaphor like ur ventilators :)
Sandeep:;-) metaphor? what is tht? ;-)
Admin: go and learn figure of speech
Sandeep:had i known what a metaphor was, i would have been in england
Admin: 7th std english grammar
Sandeep:i might have skipped that chapter!
Admin: oh yeah poor english ppl had to suffer... nw we r suffering in india coz of u we poor indians
Sandeep:takes a mental note of borrowing 7th std grammar books from neighbourhood kid
Admin: tell us more abt ur trsyt with yem bee aaye?
Sandeep:indians are the richest in the world coz of their rich traditions n culture
well...
Admin: tell us more abt ur trsyt with yem bee aaye?
Sandeep: I have never planned anything in life everything just shaped itself...on my part..i have just made sure that i live every second kingsize...because life does not give you a second chance
Admin: oh yeah thats true though
Sandeep:and you dont wish to look back after 30 years and sigh that you could have enjoyed so much...had you done this...had you done that...had you decided on this...had you decided on that...
Admin: living life at its best
Sandeep:so after boards...i ended up taking electronics engineering...doing what a normal kid would...following others...i think my next statement would change your opinion...
Admin: hmm how tell me
Sandeep:i realized that i had got into the wrong stream..he he...every circuit was a struggle...it never excited me much...i never had this thing for technical...MBA was a way to escape this hard core technical stuff...
Sandeep:apart from the spelling "E-L-E-E-C-T-H-R-N-O-C-I-C-H-S" ...i never learnt anything in those four years...had great difficulty in grasping this spelling as well but am glad that i would...that was one great achievement after 4 years
Admin: oh so u dont knw anything abt jfet,cmos, circuit designing etc so i sense u must have flunked several times
Sandeep:then CAT happened...just like that... life is too short to take mental notes of the subjects you flunk in
Admin: well thats life
Sandeep:you seem to know a lot about circuits...enjoy life admin...cmos n jfets are not going to come to your rescue in your deathbed ;-)
Admin: i know but thats wht engineering has to teach u knw jfets and all r not gonna help u in future but we have to study such useless things
Sandeep:it is the moments that you have lived that are going to make you feel that you atleast came close to "living" life
Admin: yes yes true agreed
Sandeep:see..."study" is a very inappropriate term here...by using that you are giving me an indication tht you are not loving what you are doing...when you "learn"...that is when you enjoy things...that is when you enjoy a course...listen to your heart...dont follow the crowd...follow your heart...
Admin: what will u do if u come to know that u are going to die tommorow?
Sandeep: I will sleep
Admin: sleep till u die ehh
Sandeep:I will sleep over it ya...if that's the fate..you cant change it... so why frown...why get tense...
Admin: yes yes
Sandeep:why miss out on those dreams that mind plays in its theatre every single night
Admin: but my question is wud u regret if u die tmrw
as ur just 25
Sandeep:so i will sleep... I wont regret dying
Admin: thats the spirit
Sandeep:I have never made any enemies in my life...I am surrounded with friends...friends who care...friends who may go to any lengths for a smile
and i have enjoyed every moment of the past 25 years of mine...smiling and making others
smile...when you have gifted smiles to others...it is a divine feeling...you feel blessed...
Admin: do u believe in the concept of hell and heaven?
Sandeep:I dont
I beleive in the power of the human mind to transform hell into heaven
I believe in the power of "self-belief"
I believe in the power of "love"
I believe in the power of "trust"
Admin: interesting reply a diff spectrum
Sandeep:hell is just the surroundings...till you dont change...it wont make a difference...
hell is within you...
Admin: yes yes its ur thoughts
Sandeep:not outside
Admin: whtever u think
Sandeep:exactly...
Admin: u and ste fight quite often and it has happen many times....the leg pulling business that u both do?? what is ur take abt it?
Sandeep:I love him the most That should answer your question
Admin: he has been the worst and has tried every spoof on u the malan being the popular
have u ever tried writing spoof series on him
Sandeep:I take it sportingly...I feel the biggest quality one can possess is the ability to laugh on himself/herself
ste somewhere lacks in this quality...but we are all humans...we learn...he is learning...and i am proud of what he is slowly transforming into...
Admin: thats nice and whts ur role in this transformation
Sandeep:My role...
Admin: yes
Sandeep:I just provide the platform :-)
Admin: oh yes the stepMAN..... being the one :p
Sandeep:he he...Things like that keep things light...we need some stress busters at the end of the day!there are only a handful of people who attempt humour...i believe its the toughest job to make people laugh at your jokes..its very easy to put across your emotions...but to cook something up which has people in splits...its damn tough!
Admin: one day if u find urself being lost in a crowd of around 20 million ppl and u find that u have lost all ur closed relations and best buddies in this event.What will u do?
Sandeep:I know that those who matter to me will find me no matter where i am lost
Admin: name few of them if u dont mind

Sandeep:The rat was searching for the cat. Thats how life is. A never ending search. Things are never hiding from you, they are searching for you all the while. All that is required is a stroke of luck and some efforts. Depending on who puts in what, the rat may end up hiding in the cats belly or the cat may decide to abandon its search. Right now, i have a strong intuition that the rat is hiding is Ste's pocket. He is playing the "luck" trying to alter the "fate" of the rat!

Admin: is it whoz granny is she lol
Sandeep: mujhe pata hota toh main aaj england main hota
Sandeep: i am very weak with general knowledge...i will try this question only in kaun barega crorepati
Admin: lets see what members have to ask you
kings asks "How do you manage your busy work schedule as an yembeeyae professional + life +t blogging and then foremost as one of the founder of WL - updating your personal blog, reading ,commenting and suggesting your views and managing the lounge as one of the admin?"
Sandeep: this defines life for me...
and if you are not busy with your life...what did you live?
Admin: chirag wants to ask"aap nashte mein kya khaate ho ...itne ideas aate hai aapke dimag mein .."
Sandeep: nashta nahi khaate...empty stomach is devil's workshop
Admin: kajal asks "5 things you expect in sme 1 who could be your soulmate"
Sandeep: 1) Beautiful eyes...coz eyes are the windows to ones soul...And i would love to see me when you look in those eyes..coz i think when you are soulmates your soul become one
2) Caring nature...She would understand me and know when i need her...without my saying a word
Admin: hmm
3) Love...Showering me with her unadulterated love 24x7...
Sandeep: 4) Being "Herself"....when she is with you..she is "herself"...no force can then break this bond!
5) Being "Mad"...i am a total crackpot...my soulmate would be the same...no...a pagli!
Admin: Ste wants to ask "what was ur life like before meeting ste,priyanka,neha,asbah,mona and many others from lounge?"
Sandeep: I was not living :-) it was something else :-)
Admin: oh yeah so wht "else" r u talking abt

Admin: prats asks " is malan inspired by your real life?"
Sandeep: i think i have answered that above
prats ka question waste...sorry prats!
Admin: prats asks "your proudest moment on WL"
she asked another one for u
Sandeep: he he he he...
the day we launched our first contest...and our chests swelled at the response...two entries...one from me...one from asbah...
ofcourse the chest has deflated quite a bit with time...it no more does with such less participation nowadays :-) :-) :-) :-) asbah..haina?lets unjinx them islexxx...what say?
Admin: hehe
Sandeep: okay...to answer prats first question...
malan + malan = balan...two negatives make up one positive...two malan posts may come near to what balan really is...he he he
Admin: hahaha funny
Admin: chronic writer asks " who is real sandeep balan? wht kinda characters make real sandeep?
Sandeep: the real sandeep balan is in the "sand" of sandeep and "bal" of balan sand is real...so are bal (hairs)...they form the real sandeep balan...
Admin: lol nice
Sandeep: ingredients for making sandeep balan: 1 kg cartoon characters...500 gms philosophers...2kg jokers...200 gms sentiments...700 gms fun
heat it on a medium flame...stir while heating
Admin: lol
Admin: neha asks "You have written a lot about love and philosophy. Do you yourself believe in true love at first sight? Or do you think true love takes time, meetings, getting to know and understand each other for it to grow in the hearts of 2 people?"
Sandeep: there is no definition to true love. No one knows what is true love. There is no explanation anywhere given that defines "true love" for you. It is what you think and like to believe. I have never seen a couple when they are in love fall short of branding it as "true love". And then they break up. But that does not mean that "true love" is non existent. It is like a flower which blooms in a desert. You dont know what caused it to bloom despite the unfavourable circumstances. It turns out to be the one drop of rain that found its way to make the flower bloom. The flower knows when it happens...so does the rain drop realize that it has been the reason for the flower to bloom. Its the knowledge. The acknowledgement. The understanding. You know. You dont have to force fit true love into the scheme of things. If it is, you will know. You feel the difference
Admin: asbah says "pick one for yourself: 1) Ayyaar 2) Ayaash 3) Badmash"
Sandeep: the third one :-)
Admin: rash asks "where is your party on 30th march?"
Sandeep: Where am I? Who am I? Who are you? Is this London?
Admin: heheh don't act seriously she wants to knw
Sandeep: seriously lets all pray for world peace on 30th of march and fast
Admin:ste asks "what does Ste means to you?"
Sandeep:Ste personifies "care" and "love" for me. The things he does for you. The way he makes you feel special. The way he gets on to your nerves (he he..but i love it all). The way he comes up with new ideas. Ste means "Writers Lounge" for me. Need i say anything more?
Admin:what about the sandeep balan award for excellence in writing??enlighten us more about it ?
Sandeep: Ha ha ha ha. That's Ste's way of showing that he cares. His way of gifting smiles to loungers, using me as the medium. I am game though. Though i am a novice myself and cant start of a self pompous award just like that, when ste declared it i thought we could use this in a fun way to recognize talent at our lounge. Ste makes me remind of "Dadasaheb Phalke Awards" every time i read the name of the award he has suggested! Phew....
Admin:wht does the logo in sandeep balan excellence award indicate?it shows a man popping out from a trophy...who is it and why is he doing this?
Sandeep: Thats me! Ste has once again raided my orkut album to steal one of the pics to make this badge. he he. I think Ste wants to convey the message...You may not like him. You may not know him...But you cant ignore him. ;-) ;-)
Admin: what do you think about the decorations at the lounge for ur bday?
Sandeep: i am speechless...touched...honoured...this is the best anyone has done for my bday ever!!the whole lounge celebrating..i cud not have asked for more!when we started off this place long back...i had no clue birthdays wud become so special...group hug... I love you, asbah n ste for being the catalysts for this wonderful place .....group huddle with ste and asbah
Admin: whts their contribution in lounge development? whats their role
Sandeep: i have always been of the belief...a blog is your alter ego...its what you are...its your feelings...your thoughts...so it invariably ends up as being you....the virtual you..."The Writers Lounge" is sacrosanct......bubbling with energy....enthusiasm...creativity....friendships...love....care....
Sandeep: this is because of the qualities ste and asbah possess which translated into the lounge had the foundation not been strong....this beautiful place wud have long been dead
Admin: yes yes and its still growing
Sandeep: each new member has added a new dimension to our blog but the core values remain intact...ste asbah n me define those core values...which will forever be cherished...
Sandeep: somehow...it was like the coming together of three seperate individuals...who were so different...yet had so much in common...and their baby....it had all the traits of these three...the traits which make these three what they are...which makes the lounge what it is......
Admin: what are your future plans for WL as blogger supports just 100 members ? and are you working for it?
Sandeep: my naughtiness was injected to the lounge back then!! he he he he...
There are plans in place...no need to fear...whats life without surprises? And we are best at surprising...Right asbah? Right ste?Ssshhhhhhhhh
Admin: hahaha waiting for your surprise for WL family
what do you think about this interview? and the interviewer?
Sandeep: Since micro-humour is the flavour of the month...people wont be used to this marathon-humour...fears some hospital cases!and the interviewer...intelligent...smart...dude...hero...heeralal
Admin: before leaving ...wht is ur message fr ste and asbah?
Sandeep: Ste: Your ordeal is not over. Till my grave....Asbah: Jinxed. Jinxed. Jinxed. Stay the way you are. Till my last breath
Admin: your message for loungers
Sandeep: We inspire...We intoxicate...We create magic... "T-O-G-E-T-H-E-R"even a letter missing would end the spell..... thanks for joining us in this journey to neverland.....and thanks for accepting our request to join our family.....Love you all....Each one of you! The lounge is nothing without you all. You make it what it is! Keep rocking. Keep smiling. F or life is too short. Gooooooooooo Get It!
Admin: nice

Sandeep: My night has just begun...Mr. nocturnal :-)

End Time : 1:47am

Happy Birthday meri Jaan - from Ste ....
I looked at the sky to see the stars,
It was you who showed me one.
You taught me what is life?
You made me sane from insane.
You 're my guide,my mentor , an alter - ego
I suffered all the pains,
and it was you who shared my sorrows.
I cried aloud to show my grief,
It was you who gave me a helping hand.
on the rocky road wherever you went,
I followed you right behind.
You were my guru,mentor and a guide.
I had a brave chivalrous knight in form of you.
You had done a lot to me,
You stood by me on my every decisions.
Its me who hurt you,
with all those jokes and pranks on you.
Now when you revert the same,
My weak heart is not approving the same.
I love you brother,
For you are my elder brother.
Thanks a lot Meri Jaaan
Love you Bhaaaiiiiiii
You're my support system....Love yaa

Beyond Lounge.....Ste ... updated..
Few weeks ago I read Asbah's post which was having the same title . Now this is my turn to write about my experience interacting with my fellow loungers. Well, firstly I would like to talk about my very own Miss Intelligent .She is none other than Asbah Alaena.
Asbah
I knew Asbah long before we started this Lounge.We met around a year back through some blogger community in Orkut. It was a rainy day and Airtel Server in Mumbai got crashed giving us an opportunity to enjoy free calls for a day.It was around 10 am in morning.My friend informed this Airtel thing as I was completely devoid of everything happening around me.Fortunately it was a Saturday.I asked Asbah Madam if I could call her and I told everything about Airtel Server crash.She could not believe this and without any 2nd thoughts she gave me her number.I called her and imagined we spoke for 10 minutes. From that call I deducted the following.
1.This girl is really very talkative..atleast I felt so.
2.She is sweet.
3.Its strange but I some how felt that she was intelligent.
4.She is not naughty ,but clever she is. :P
5.She is innovative because of the various ideas that she was giving me about Lounge site .
After discussing with Sandeep ,we came to a conclusion that Asbah would be called "Islex" from hence on. Thats a sweet nick for her ,isn't it? It stands for Islamabad Express.
Sandeep Balan.
From day 1 ,itself I knew that this guy is unique and has got a bulk of talents (after seeing Mussadi man videos).He was introduced to me by Asbah.This guy always used to remain online through gtalk. After few days Idea realized that its employees are making much use of its services without doing any work.This is when they decided to revoke internet services at his office and of sudden this guy disappeared .Recently I met him on Neha's bday party.He is no different of what I know him online.He is a genious and hats off to his creativity and talents.We often talk to each other.
Priyanka
This is one something really strange.The other night I asked for her number and few days later I called her.I was amazed when I heard her voice for first time.It sounded so good.She called me" Steeeeephheeeennnnnnn" almost extending the end part "hen" .In response I called her "Priyannnnnkaaaaaaa" .It was indeed funny.She was my good friend and my sister to be precise.Few days ago she called me in context to that Sandeep Malu post deletion thing. It was funny though .She send me a long sms and I was really angry on her that day."Kario" of her is really superb ...typical Delhi lingo.
Mona
Ahh,I spoke to this poet on Christmas day.She was having her exams the very next day and I called her to wish her luck for her papers.She is indeed a sweet perso.I actually met her few days back on Neha's birthday party. A friendly person and we loved playing prank of Sandeep Balan Sir.
Neha
I was busy sleeping on a Sunday Afternoon and I got a call on my cellphone.She asked me to guess her .I could not guess her voice. I realized that it could be Parul ,one of my best friend. Later on she told me that it was Neha.She is a sweet person too and we Lounge people from Mumbai rocks.We 4 actually had a blast on her birthday party where we spoke to Priyanka and Asbah as well.It was fun that day.
Anurag
Yeah ,we talk quite often as we share same Engineering course.He calls me mostly to know about syllabus,text book authors and to know if students in my class are attending lectures or not.
Rashi
It was on the contest result declaration day when we spoke.She and Leo were waiting for the RDL contest results.I could not declare the results as per the promised date (Thanks to my internet).They all were getting impatient as I had already made them wait for a long period of time.It was nice talking to her.
Arjun
He is someone different than what I knew of him here.He speaks very slow. He hardly speaks Hindi.I just tried to play a prank on him few days ago by giving him a voicemail number.But soon later he realized that it was a prank.It was nice talking to a intelligent person like.:p
Leo
Spoke to him regarding the contest and Lounge thing.Actually I was stranded in a shopping mall and was in a hurry to go home .So I could't talk to him much.
Nan
Finally I got to write about Minnie Mouse.She really sounds like a Minnie Mouse.I was in a train when I called her ,so could'nt hear much.Most of our convo was in Tamil.
Prats
This is a long story.I actually woke her up on a Sunday Morning.I tried to conceal my identity and called her as Mr.Smith ,a Google India employee.Mr.Smith was about to present her the outstanding blogger award.But later on I revealed my identity.
Heena
The latest lounge girl.I spoke to her on Sunday afternoon.She is an interesting character and mind me she is not a kid.:P . Her voice was a familiar voice to me.She was watching Delhi 6 when I called her.I adviced her not to see chindi flop movies. It was nice convo.
John
I spoke to John Anna recently......while I was in a bus.....a typical south Indian he is........sounds like one.....very friendly types..
Chirag
Omg....is bandhe ka voice bahut hi matured types hai....sounds like a middle aged man.....nice person he is....
Gaurav
Another friend of mine..I called him yesterday to inform about our meet on tuesday,,,,hopefully i feel i should be there.....but thanks to my project work....grrrr
Kajal
Well this call was accidental....spoke to her few hours ago...in a conference call with Sandeep ....listened to whatever she spoke and Bhai did the speaking job and I did the listening job...and hey trust me conference call is really fun yaar
And hey....I don't work for Airtel .....and no free calls okiee: P
We could possibly have a Writers Lounge Members meet this year.What do you guys say? Many members have met each other .So we could decide on a particular day and meet .What say?
Regards,
Ste

Aa Dekhen Zara : Movie Review
Directed By:Jehangir Surti
Produced By:
Eros Pictures Pvt.Ltd
Featuring:
Neil Nitin Mukesh, Bipasha Basu, Rahul Dev..
Aa Dekhen Zara, a Sci-fi action thriller first of its kind in Bollywood released this week with no other competitors at the box office. Directed by debutant director Jehangir Surti, Aa Dekhen Zara is a good watch with every ingredient rightly added.
The script is good not great. Being Neil Nitin Mukesh's second movie, ADZ is not a Johnny Gaddar and doesn't even come close. First half is absolutely engaging and keeps you on your toes right till the intermission. As a few previous flicks,the script of ADZ too is let loose as the passing second half.
Aa Dekhen Zara's, protagonist Ray(Neil Nitin Mukesh) a photographer finds himself a camera left off by his dead grandfather which quite amusingly clicks photos, when developed shows the future of the people in the photos. During one such camera encounter is when he accidentally runs into Simi(Bipasha Basu) a DJ at a club. Ray adds color to his struggling life by the aid of the camera to win bucks through Lottery, Horse Racing and various other sources. He then starts living a polished life with Simi when fate strikes. He finds himself chased by both cops and Captain(Rahul Dev) to get hold of the camera. To add to Ray's agony is when, he finds out that he's going to be dead in a week's time and all he has is 7 days to find a safe place both for the camera and Simi. The events that lead upto the climax is for you to see it youself.
Aa Dekhen Zara is fresh and feels good. Second half of the movie is more of the typical Bollywood chases and makes you feel restless as it seems never ending.
All the actors are pretty decent and nothing appreciable. Neil Nitin Mukesh and Bipasha Basu both look good together and their screen presence is felt right away.
Rahul Dev with his age old trademark negative role is spot on.
Music of ADZ is composed by Pritam and its average. Though nothing remarkable is seen in the Music Department, the album of ADZ is not a bad one.
Though being an above average watch, the trick that is going to work for ADZ, is the marketing factor which was done quite superbly and that is going to pull people to the theaters.
I will go with 7 out of 10 for Jehangir Surti's Aa Dekhen Zara.
A good watch for this weekend.

Barah Aana : Movie Review
Produced & Directed by: Raja MenonFeaturing: Nasseruddin Shah, Vijay Raaz, Arjun Mathur
6/10
Firstly, extremely sorry for reviewing the movie so late.
Written, produced and directed by Raja Menon, Barah Aana is a below average watch. The movie that claims to be a comic flick doesn't even come close to making you laugh and the maximum that you can probably do is to smile at a few scenes. I cannot believe the fact that an actor like Nasserudin Shah is wasted in this movie. Barah Aana's script is extremely ordinary and execution of it is where Raja Menon goes wrong. His way of story telling doesn't impress and it is sure to make you bored. This movie doesn't engage you for more than a stretch of 5 minutes at a time.
Barah Aana is a story of three poor and simple individuals Shukla (Nasseruddin Shah), a car driver, Yadav (Vijay Raaz), a watchman in a housing society and Aman (Arjun Mathur), a waiter at a restaurant. All their lives change when they involve themselves into a crime accidentally committed by Yadav. Both Aman and Shukla find their reasons for committing the crime, may it be Shukla's grudge against the owner's wife or Aman's attempt to save his love. And how things lead up to the climax is for you to watch.
Barah Aana is definitely a light comedy. A light comedy that makes you smile and nothing else. Barah Aana's soul are the actors in it. Vijay Raaz is the most impressive of the lot. He recreates the magic created by in him in Raghu Romeo (2003) that had him in the lead. He's funny and emotional. Arjun Mathur after petty roles in movies like Luck By Chance etc, gets a slightly important role in Barah Aana and he does justice to the role completely showing his potential. He's good in every part of the movie. The setback of Barah Aana is the execution of the script. It's way too ordinary to make an impact. Nasseruddin Shah goes totally unnoticed which is quite rare for the actor of his caliber.
Barah Aana is a below average watch but not that bad after all.
I'll go with 6 out of 10 for Raja Menon's Barah Aana.
Thumbs down for wasting Nasseruddin Shah in the movie.

Tan, a passionate traveler visits a new town. After a long and tiring train journey he reaches the nearest railway station. The railway station is far from the main town and he keeps on asking people on the road about the exact route and moves on. After walking for some time, he meets an old man sitting in the corner of the road. This is how they conversed…
=================================================================
Tan: Greetings, Old Man. How long will it take for me to reach Haridaspur?
Old man with a beedi in hand and a big turban on his head does not respond.
Tan (louder): Greetings, Sir. How long will it take to reach Haridaspur?
Old man looks at him from head to toe and gets back to smoke his beedi. Tan looks around to see if there is anyone else whom he can ask, but there was no one.
Tan (frustrated, at top of his voice): Sir, may I know how long it will take for me to get to Haridaspur?
Old man unmoved and Tan moves on the road resentfully thinking why God has been so rude to him today. After a few steps, the Old Man called him from behind.
Old Man: Oh my boy, it will take you approximately 25 minutes to reach Haridashpur from here.
Tan whizzed to the old man very furiously.
Tan: Why Old Man? When I was shouting at the top of my voice, you did not respond. Now, what made you call me?
Old Man: My boy, when you were standing here, I never knew how you intend to reach the place. Now that I’ve seen you walking, I know your speed and can tell that if you walk like this, you will reach in approximately 25 minutes.
