And why not?

 
One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route. No problems for the first few stops, a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well. At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back.
The driver was five feet three, thin, and basically meek. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't happy about it. The next day the same thing happened -Big John got on again, said "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down. It happened next day, and the one after that, and so forth.
This irritated the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of his size. Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building program, karate, judo and all that good stuff. By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong; So on the next Monday, when Big John got on the bus and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" the driver stood up, glared back and screamed, "And why not?"

With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, "Big John has a Bus pass." :)
 
Moral: Be sure to check if there is a problem, then think of solving :)

No. 7

Believe me, I was a good volleyball player! I should thank to our PE teacher in high school(8th STD), Jagadal Sir. He is unique in everything he does. A good teacher, motivator,social reformer and a drinker also. In my small village - Tamba, he is famous for everything he does. 
Under his guidance I learned volleyball. All students of college were divided into four teams like white, blue, red and green. I was in white team which was strongest team in almost all sports like Baseball, Volleyball, Football and Kabbadi too. I left high school year after joining as we moved to Indi and joined SVVK high school. 
Couple of months passed by in new high school. New PE teacher Jadhav Sir joined our school. Sports season started. I was chosen as captain and a team is formed where me and my PE teacher selected players. We didn't have good ground for football so everyone's concentration was only on volleyball.
 A week after team selection, my grandma passed away and I was forced to take leave for about 15 days. When I came back from long holidays, I had a big surprise!
Our PE teacher, Jadhav Sir, was such a good coach, he just proved what he can do even with immature players. My team members were playing so good that I couldn't compete with them anywhere. I became an extra player. Number 7. Seven is my lucky number but not  at this time.
I had a big setback. I am odd man out of a team which was formed by me. I took it as a failure and I never played volleyball with interest. I had been to all competitions as No. 7 and thats all. I never entered playground; not even once in real competition, helped in arranging drinks, net practice and accommodation etc. We won everywhere we played, just lost to qualify at state level. I have certificates of all games I played who laugh at my failure.
Most of us had such situations in our life. Just like me we don't know where it went wrong.  We cannot avoid cases like long holidays/leaves, sickness, transfer and the most important thing is accepting change. If at all there is anything in this world which is constant then its CHANGE. We don't accept the change easily and we don't accept the fact that our juniors climbing higher than us. I was jealous of team. To name few of good players like Vishal Loni, Siddu etc they were all my good friends before. If I could have taken above situation sportively?  
I even started blaming my family who forced me to take such a long leave and to my grandma who died at that time. I always thought if I was there for those 15 days, I could have played better than team and I could have retained my position as a good player and captain. I was not ready to come down, I was just not ready to accept the fact. I denied the change. 
Here I am now, after almost 12 years of this incident. I still play volleyball sometimes but I always have it in my mind that I am not a good volleyball player. I realized my this mistake last week when I saw someone in same situation. I wish they won't repeat mistakes like I did. All experiences counts, no matter they are good or bad. 
Think of any teacher or lecturer; they taught us when we were kids. Today we might be earning in lakhs but they are still doing same! They are proud of us when we say that we are working as so and so, earning so much, whatever. They spread such information across society with proud and never jealous of us. A society is complete only when we have dedicated teachers. We have lot to learn from them, as always they are role models to us from childhood to our pension plan. Its a great honor to be a teacher. And it will be pleasure for everyone to be like teacher. 

Sometimes we will be left behind. Its natural. But if we don't fight back, we will be left behind forever.

Thinking (+/-)

Regular rumors, latest updates and new faces are hot topics of evening pantry visit. Today I was sitting with our test team members. One of new joinee in test team said "My parents always taught me to be positive, think positive. But now here in testing I have to think negatively to find all bugs". For a second we all liked his statement. I felt too good to learn another fantastic dialog. Just couple of days after that I read an article in Vijaya Karanataka which was something like 
While the optimists invented the airplanes, the pessimists invented the parachutes!Negative thinking is also necessary to make anything fool proof.Positive thinkers leave some holes in their plans while negative thinkers seal them.
It was like an avalanche in my unused brain and i started thinking (positively or negatively?) that negative thinking is much more required.  My thoughts get stimulated with many examples. Like breaks in vehicles are meant for negative scenarios. We carry water bottles for a journey with a negative thought that we wont get water on this planet while travelling where as earth is the only planet to have water. 
Soon I started feeling like everything we have here are actually because of negative thoughts. We build house to keep safe from sunlight, rain and other natural events. We have a big telecommunication system to spread news to be safe and to know others are safe. And Job security- we work hard in a negative thought of loosing job. All medicines, hospitals, military, aerospace, science and even holy books mention about hell . . .. 
beep beep . . . 
I just received an SMS which interrupted my serious thoughts. 
Received on 29th August @ 6.30 PM.  
Your Salary has been credited to your Account . . . .
Next thing in my mind - which movie s running at INOX and Forum? Nothing else.

Fast-Food & Fast-Track

Fast Food - term given to food that can be prepared and served very quickly. 
Fast Track - is an informal English phrase meaning "the quickest and most direct route to achievement of a goal, as in competing for professional advancement. What happens when two "fast"s collide? Here goes the story.
It was another happy moment to visit my friend's marriage ceremony. After all the standard procedures of wishing, and smiling for photo we finally reached dining hall. With many variants South Indian dish was tempting. We were served with plain rice after Poori and Palav. I and my friend - Mukesh, who is from Bihar, were waiting for something to eat along with plain rice; we were in hurry to catch the next train. May be after couple of minutes, servant came towards us yelling "Sambaar-Rasam, Sambar-Rasam...  ". (Sambaar is a dish made of Lentils (daal) and other seasonal vegetables. Where as Rasam is a dish prepared by tomato, tamarind etc but without any Lentils (daal) ).
He was actually serving fast food. I just looked at him and made space in my plate; he served me. Mukesh is more choosy in everything as much as he can. He was confused with Sambaar|Rasam finally said Rasam. Servant was as quick that by the time Mukesh say as Rasam,  he served two plates next to Mukesh; servant was far away. Bad luck! 
Mukesh was not happy about this but couldn't say anything; just continued with eating other side dishes. I didn't say anything too.
Another servant came this time with same advertisement "Sambaar-Rasam, Sambar-Rasam...  ". Mukesh said "Sambaar". This time Mukesh was almost yelling! But still servant just continued to serve others in fast track, ignoring Mukesh's order(?).
I just couldn't control my laugh :) His face was like another shoe popstart! I requested servant in native language finally to manage situation. 

Servants were serving the fast food in fast track :) First servant was serving Sambaar first but questioned  like "Sambaar or Rasam?". Next servant came with Rasam and he asked same question too. Considering that first servant didn't serve Rasam, Mukesh asked for Sambaar second time!

Poor Cat!

A man hated his wife's cat and he decided to get rid of it. He drove 20 blocks away from home and dropped the cat there. The cat was already walking up the driveway when he approached his home.
The next day, he decided to drop the cat 40 blocks away but the same thing happened. He kept increasing the number of blocks but the cat kept coming home before him.At last he decided to drive a few miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right again and another right and so on until he reached what he thought was a perfect spot and dropped the cat there.

An hour later.... The man calls his wife at home and asked her, "Janu is the cat there?"
"Yes, why do you ask?" answered the wife.



Frustrated the man said," Put that damn cat on the phone, I am lost and I need directions to reach home!!!"

Rice-n-Chilly(ing) Powder

A grand party in Pizza hut for no reason :) Today I could spend almost 500 bucks for a pizza and I am THE pizza fan! But those days were better than pizza moments. There was one special situation in my life when I was travelling by train from Dharward to Davangere.
It happens to be sometime in 4th semester of engineering life and I was on the way back to Davangere from Dharwad (favorite city).
 I left previous night by 11 PM towards DWD by train. In the rush of playing carom I forgot to have dinner. early morning in DWD, after so many days I enjoyed Shira - called as "kesari baat" in South Karnataka. I was surprised to pay 5 rupees and to get only one small bowl :( only 2 seconds in was in bowl. If it was in davangere, I could have had khali dosa - 3 small dosas and important thing is unlimited amount of chutney :) Anyhow I couldn't afford more than that; I had money but I didn't spend it.
My friends' with whom I had meeting were busy in classes but still they arranged a bed to sleep. Neither they asked me about food nor did I thought about it. We went for a party by late afternoon and it was my turn to treat being an engineering student :) We came to JSS college campus. I can't forget my first day at JSS college, Vidyagiri. Today was another such day with drizzling rain and just another day in heaven :)
Here comes the party time! I was not happy about the hotel  we entered but was helpless. I opted for Dal-n-one roti which itself was charged with 50 bucks! (almost ten khali dosa :( ) My friends were doing favor of being with me! I didn't eat much was left hungry even after so called party where I paid 200+. Friends are friends :)
By 5.45 PM, I was in Hubli railway station to reach back my college. I had two trains, express which costs 50+ and passenger costs about 30+ ( I don't remember cost exactly but there was difference, I mean too much difference). Few crocodiles were passing inside my stomach by this time. I took a right decision to travel by passenger which may leave by 7.30 PM. I slept for an hour in railway station. Grabbed a nice seat in general compartments. Now the story starts with my return journey!
It was expected that train will reach Davangere by 12 midnight and with experience one could say by 1 AM with maximum delay. I could still get food in my hostel, especially BC beer (minimum 3 days cocktail what is called as buttermilk by few folks). I had a second thought to buy idli-wada but 2 idli and 1 wada costs 10 rupees! thats too much :) 
And the Hero enters; He was travelling for the first time to Bengaluru, was crying and very upset to leave parents and his hometown! Dressing clearly made me feel like family is BPL (Below poverty line). His parents finally said adieu when train started in good pace. I thought I should talk to him and make him relaxed. After few minutes we became friends :) And sat by door enjoying wind speed as time pass by. He is 16+ and going to Bengaluru to get a job which seems to be more of a assured and his job was connecting wires what he says and i felt its like networking or cable related.
Another twenty minutes passed and train stopped. 8.20 PM. We were forced to move away from door. Train was expected to arrive in DVG by 12 midnight and I was suppose to eat something by 30 past 12 or 1 AM with  max delay. Twist started here when I felt train or the driver is sleeping. Its been an hour and there is no any movement. My stomach was yelling. I felt as if Yakshyagaana is being conducted in my stomach.
I said to my travel mate about artistic sounds in my stomach and he insisted me to take his meals packed from home. Off course I didn't accept that with due respect. Its 9.00 PM now and surprisingly not even water is being sold. There are no any eatables, no idly, no vada, no bhelpuri not even biscuits or anything at all! Not even good trees nearby to fetch fruits Another hour passed by. It was difficult for me to talk also. Yesterday afternoon I had good meals and little bit of shira, dal-roti today afternoon. Train was suppose to reach by 12 and till 11.30 PM it didnt move at all We are just one hour away from Hubli. There is no sound of movement also. I learned by this time that engine is on strike and we are waiting for another engine. Meanwhile my friend insisted me to have his food 2-3 times as I was too much uncomfortable.My eyes I felt bad for not eating in party or not purchasing anything in station. I felt now like I have too much money but its just a paper. Finally by 11.45, I agreed to his offer ( as if I was doing favor to him:) ).
He opened a box, full of white rice and chilli powder on that. My mouth was watering. But only rice and chilly powder? I asked him if he have anything else. I got one big onion. hmmm. Had no options. next five minutes, I cannot forget this moment ever in my life, these five minutes I don't know how I ate it when tears are more like nayagara falls and still it was too tasty. I didnt even ask him if he wanna eat. I was not in this world at all. For my badluck now after this big drama train started. Just after 15 minutes we reached next stop and yes .... There are lots of eatables. I could see some ready foods like chips, biscuits, chocolates etc. Just fifteen minutes earlier if engine was working fine then I would have not tasted rice-n-chilly powder......! I took few biscuits and few more eatables and I offered to him for his great survival support.
Today when I could spend 500+ for a meal I can't forget that memorable day of my life.I tried to save money but someone else saved me from hunger. I get know what does hunger mean :)
I cant say I was wrong when I tried to save money. I cant even say I am right especially when I was eating HOT rice-n-chilly. I was lucky to try to help that guy who in turn helped me a lot. Today I could spend thousands for a meal but was the day where money didn't work in any way. I can't eat only rice and chilly powder with an onion now. Rest of the journey till DVG was fantastic and memorable. I never met that guy in my life and I wish I will never face such situation in my life.

Nice answer to "why me?"


ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE! 
Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of Cancer which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983..

From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?

To this Arthur Ashe replied:

"The world over, 50 million  children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the  grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'. And today in pain I should not be asking GOD
'Why me?' "

Then There Can Be Nothing That Can Break You Next Time"

Why so?



When a kid asks "why sky is blue?" everyone love it and when same question is asked by me, either it will be treated as PJ or they feel as if I am from Dharwad (can be replaced by Agra as well)!
I have to something to say about activities conducted either in campus recruitment or off campus recruitment. I never had a chance to ask why I have to pass aptitude test or why should I attend GD. In fact, I didn't even think about them and I had only one goal - get a job! When I felt that it’s too blur for me to reach this goal, I turned around to see what’s happening with me; but it was too late! I wasted six opportunities but still luck/bad luck was with me.
Learning from others mistake is better as we wont get chance to do all mistakes in our life :) when you are getting something for free why can't use it wisely? I know It is easy said than done.
OK, let’s talk about Aptitude test. Why so? Why is it necessary to have aptitude test? I am very good I studies or I can do designing very well (you name it as PCB, program, plan/elevation or a machine design). Most of the companies have few mandatory rounds for recruitment like aptitude and group discussion. Oh! We didn't think of minimum criteria of marks!
If I want to rent a house, it is not possible for me to visit every house and check if it is vacant! First I have to choose where I can stay and what kind of house I need and then I start hunting. Narrowing search to get potential good results! May be I have very good house which is about 50 KM away from my home; you want to go for it? Minimum criteria whatever is set in many cases is to narrow the no. of candidates. Depending on no. of people recruiter want to hire and how competitive job is, minimum criteria is set. I may answer if you people have any more questions on this. 
Remember your childhood days? When your parents were so proud to announce that my son/daughter is studying in 1st standard and can sing songs, say no’s in reverse order! Oh:) what a moment! Especially when rewarded with some coins/sweets or fruits, it is like we are on the top of world. Believe me, our parents enjoyed these moments more than us. This is what we call as an aptitude! When a child start learning new things and explore it more and more aptitude rates moves on and on just like the food price now a days :) Many cases it happens to be your living environment, which stimulates you to learn/understand more. I stopped my studies from 3rd STD and rejoined for 6th STD. I was null by all means! It is my name in fact which made me popular for the first time (still it’s my name which keeps me high always) and I started learning things quick just because I like to be in limelight. My teacher's sir was a champ, he could say table of numbers in reverse order as well! Sometimes when children are compared to each other, they get demotivated; that’s true in every stage of life! It is all about how you want to see world. It is very common to be demotivated, but it is not common to be a failure. Just like home far away, if you are too good in what you studied but not in aptitude may not be good! I didn’t mean that you are not good rather there is a probability of you being exceptionally intelligent or some kind of fraud. Obviously recruiters don’t take much risk.
Think of a child, who is good at studies! This gives more confidence and gives an opportunity to think rationally. His/hers society always motivated for speeches in public events or sing a song. Think of a child who could read English news paper in the age of 7! (Which is common now, but I am saying about 1990's) Stimulation to these people is so high that ideally all such lucky people can be gems of a country! Isn't these qualities sound good for any kind of job? No matter that job is only about punching pins but such a nice person could change the way work is done itself! Wait a minute, I am telling about what was there in past or partially what is there now! Why industry thought of aptitude at first step is high aptitude may be stimulated by sound society and healthy brain, which could help them in their business.
Now, what trend do we have? A month of hard work with R S Agarwal and couple of weeks with Shakuntala Devi or few others (I mean books written by these authors), you are the champ! I spent less than a month in fact and few of my friends didn't read them at all (off course they had very good backbone from childhood) At any moment, sound aptitude and attitude makes life easier. It is not expected that you spend couple of days thinking how to solve the problem which can be solved in an hour or so on an average. Recruiter expects that you should be one among those who can take quick decisions in less time although which is not easy every time but such a potential can be present with people who have good aptitude.
And the wondering part is we all have aptitude, in fact very good aptitude which we don't know at all! It is very easy for us to decide whether to cross the signal or not, considering that only 4 seconds left! It is our aptitude! It is our aptitude which says is it right time to propose her or not! (I think in this example, boys always fail, no matter answer is yes or no:)
There is nothing wrong in preparing for aptitude when we are not lucky to get it in our childhood or when we neglected it. This also gives a strong reason to recruiter that, even if you are not too smart at least you are a hard worker! Being good in aptitude in any manner is good for you. But just don't think of only numbers! Or forget it once you get a job. Puzzles are into place along with aptitude so that one can think little more than just numbers. Think of real scenario happening in our life and use your aptitude knowingly. Unknowingly we always use. And it doesn’t mean that if you pass aptitude you are smart! It might be your luck too (which is true in my case!).
Now, when we did mistake just in case, how can we help others not to do it? As a citizen it is our responsibility to think and act! How our children of 20th century are being treated? How good their aptitude can be after 10-15 years? May be we should post questions like "what is the length of Harry Potter's groom stick?", "In which AVATAR ben10 can create electricity?", "When did you see your parents recently?" Sound very funny but it is going to happen soon! Human is a social animal. We cannot be happy alone. Just don't train your brain! TACT-Think And aCT. It is in the youth of present we have future. Yesterday is past, tomorrow yet to come but today is a gift, that’s why it is called as Present!
We don't have to think too bug and start changing the education system of India or start another marathon, campaign etc! Make a difference to your juniors! Make a difference to your society! To your family! You will feel the difference only when you do it!

I know I write lot :) I simply can't avoid it!

Google Inc

A hot-cake "The Google story" by David A. Vise sold like anything in market few years back. Self stated businessmen, enterpreneur, students, managers everyone read this book. Even I purchased this book! The success story of college students, the first payment changing the name of company there are many more things about this Google.
When I received gmail invitation in 2004, I felt so proud of it. I moved from indiatimes to gmail and you can create account only via invitation that made me so proud! I started stating that having email account in Google is like good status and only intelligent people will get invited. What more, when I sent request to one of my friend here is the response
"Thank u for sending me the invitation. I have created my account successfully in Gmail. However I need not send this news to u because this news will be given to U automatically byGmail people as I have learnt. "
So easy, Google does everything for us :) Here comes the problem. 
Now I am worried too much about Google. First ever bad news I heard is that Google maps is showing all Indian military bases on web. A wide open invitation to our beloved neighbors! No doubt, I was happy to see top view of my house sitting away by 600 KM! Google became so strong that, there is nothing which they didn't touch. Orkut, YouTube, Andriod, Chrome and a new trend of waves! One and only the GOOGLE; Almighty in internet world.
It was Chinese government, questioned about Google! There are many reasons behind like security, local policies, culture and impact by Google. Few days before when I heard about banning of Google in China I really felt bad for IT industry workers in China :) (There was a recent news that Google was hacked by Chinese just like the news Chinese hacked Indian Govt. site) China government promoted Baidu, a Chinese search engine.
There are thousands of helping hand if you have Google. Everything You need is a click away starting from a calculator to white papers and everything else which you don't want also. For IT industry Google is the BOSS. We cannot survive without Google. But think about it for a moment. We are so addicted to Google that Google brand is always in #1. Most unknown secrets about you are present in your Google account. Imagine someone making it public! Even this blog is under the shadow of Google. 
Such a power to one name Google, doesn't sound good. It says something worst is yet to happen! We like dog when it is one month old, but after a year or so sometimes even we are afraid to go near! But we only feed good food for its growth. 
  One has to think about monopoly of Google wisely! When it comes to me, Yes I am worried! And now is the time I have to think about relocating at least few information away from Google. There is no privacy at all! Everything is Globally published and what more, if Google goes down with present situation, IT will fall sick. And many of us feel proud to say that we are dependent on Google. Last year movie, Da Vinci Code starring Tom Hanks represented Google in many conversions and dependency on Google.
Do you know what is the informal slogan of Google? 
Don't be evil
Very contradictory to its victory!

Talent under the bench





No matter which degree you have in your hand we all know about LLB. Is it a jargon? “Lords of last benches” If you want to enjoy the fun side of classroom it is a right place for you. The last benches are also known for rational attitude people, may be I should say people like rancho in 3 idiots. I had very rare opportunities to be on last bench.  I loved to be in my favorite seat, first seat in second bench. The classroom, in any point of time is happening place; many rumors, news and events happen there and we are the players who act and watch at the same time.  
Recently I had been to college for a session on campus recruitment and I noticed the hidden talent of college heroes (and heroines!) Art of designing benches! I was able to collect few snapshots also. And these are all from only one class. Since it was Sunday, other classrooms were closed; otherwise we could have seen more artistic talents.  These benches help in tests/internals and also very useful tool for misplaced anger (my friend's blog), very good media to show your anger anonymously. Not to forget the designer of these benches are not only the LLBs. Everyone in the classroom support this art, either being part of designing or being designed on the bench :)
First of its kind and very rare! I was very happy to see this. But critics do have questions on this. Is it the love towards mother (which is visible on first site) or anger? as you may observe a sun! considering sun as a soul of this whole human world, it implies that mother is our world! 


I am sure that artist is like auro in Paa! Depicting what is India is all about. On the right top you may observe q sweet quote "love each other" and at the same time a heart shape combined with two religions. Not to forget the languages mentioned over here. Telugu, Hindi, English in a classroom which is in Karnataka. Very unique way of representing our country. Not to forget that this art cannot come from one person. It is collective effort done without knowledge of outcome :) Similar efforts by these youths (we included) make our nation - India.




This snap was taken with more lighting effects as fortunately power supply was live. Such a sweet design. it must be one of those girls sitting in classroom and remembering mighty teddy bear and its hug :) three teddy bears, a house, tree etc . . . . this talent came out in very early stage i suppose! There was one sweet message about these teddy bears, "A cute moment turning unexpectedly SCARY is when......  U hug your teddy bear on warm night......!! and it simply HUGS u BACK.....!!!!"  Please do not divert your mind towards, RGVs Phoonk :) i even heard that RGV was inspired by his college environment to make these so called horror movies!



The Princess and the Frog,  
a fairy tale, my doubt is who draw it? Princess or .. ?




Looks odd? These are the techniques to get marks in internals/exams. First thing to do is book the seat at right place and carve the diagrams which are totally encoded and easy to decode by self. Hope you remember words like VIBGYOR, ALICE (commerce- Assets, liabilities, Income, Capital expenses) AGCT (Bio-the language of life) or S*FWOGH (select from where order by group by having) etc ... well know well used.  These people also have saying like innovations are made by lazy people who hate to work :) 





I think it represents the Center fresh effect of lecturing :) 




No comments ! ! !  
But I always felt its true. There is a star, does it mean conditions apply?
Remembering Fish-curries? or  Aquarium  lover!!





Find the no. of eyes on right side! Winner gets extra eye :)



I don't know why artist likes KEB too much  (former electricity board of Karanataka now it is divided into different companies like BESCOM, HESCOM etc)  A politician and JaiHind from his mouth! lot can be predicted by this. Small font words are nothing but few points to remember while writing tests!





She look like bollywood actress?


Definitely MAMu is maamu :)   is it traffic police standing there? Terrible experience with white devil?






and the last one! 


I wish these people could have joined fine arts course! Still time is there, it can be taken as a good hobby. But spoiling benches!!?? need to think about it how right is it or how much rights we have to damage it! There were few more snaps in fact, which i cannot publish to keep my blog clean :) 

Happy Life

Hum Tum Aur Ghost

Hum Tum Aur Ghost - With lots of expectations one could only see unexpected turns in this movie.
Arshad warshi's first home production and Studio-18 release have good star cast like Arshad Warsi, Boman Irani and Dia Mirza. A comedy movie without fun.
There is no Casper in movie rather ghosts who have something to do for their loved ones or to kill someone! Movie starts with a confusion and it is not easy to understand what is happening if you didn’t hear anything about it before.

Arshad warshi, a new face introduced by ABCL long back is the only attractive figure in whole movie but not convincing. Boman Irani, didn’t get much of opportunity to show off. Arshad's writing or screen play won’t make audience happy. There is direct link with recent movie Kartik Calling Kartik! Lead role in both movies are expected to have same decease and KCK is already kind of flop.
Arman ( Arshad Warshi) - a professional photographer leading confused life as he could hear voices from unknown resources! Nights are spent in Railway stations and days with alcohol. One fine day he realized that he could help these voices i.e. ghosts via Kapoor ( Boman Irani) who was businessman once. When Arman is busy in interacting with these ghosts, Gehna (Dia), Arman’s girl friend, meets Arman's doctor to learn that her love is living in imaginary world with unpronounceable decease. In unexpected turn, Kapoor says bye bye to Arman and Arman got a new task to find someone for another ghost.
Story is not too fast or slow with pleasant plays. Fun filled moments are conversion between Arman and Gehna - a typical conversion of our generation! Not to forget the muffins and bank robbery; these are the only fun moments of the movie apart from Shayari's of Kapoor and Arman's potencial father in law. Songs are promising with Javed Akhtar’s good lyrics.
Arshad warhi, looks very cool and cute in this movie. His dance, act and dialogues make anyone worth to see. Boman Irani has nothing to do with this movie as it seems; audience could see him only for 10-15 minutes over all. Dia, pretty girl played a typical girlfriend role. The special effects in the climax are really worst; no matter how much money they spent on this special effects, it is not pleasant in any way.
Arshad warshi's good acting and few funny moments make it worth to watch, but what to do; movie is not worth to watch with lots of expectations. Die hard fan of Arshad will definitely enjoy this movie. But what to do - avoid any expectation! Movie earlier titled as Kaun Bola would end up like Kaun dekha!
