Forgive Me Lord, As I Fell for Temptation!!

Gurpreet Singh Tikku Leave a comment

Usually I Subscribe to 2 Newspapers in Paper Form. Hindustan Times and The Economic Times.

But this Sunday as Destiny would have it, My Newspaper Vendor dropped a Copy of Hindi Daily from Times group, Navbharat Times.

Having extra time at my hand and thinking that Reading a Hindi Newspaper would Brush up my Hindi a bit…. I started reading it.

After turning a few pages in Quick Succession….. I stumbled on an Advertisement from Indiatimes Shopping, Offering “Orpat Room Heaters”, with BOGO Offer.(Buy One Get One) @ Rs 1999/- 

Though the need was not there, but the Product looked Sleek, Was from a Good Company, Features were Good and came along with a Good offer and getting a sense that this winters could be chilly than earlier Years, We decided to order it.

Even with 300 Rs of Delivery Charges, I would have saved 700 Rs on each one.

Within 2 days…. I received the parcel.

The Goods Were as Desired and the Glow on the Face got Brighter.

Sadly the Glow Vanished when I scanned the Box for Additional Features 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The MRP read. Rs. 1290/- and not Rs.1990/- as printed in the Newspaper offer!!

Feeling Cheated….. I started writing this post……

But to ensure that I am not unreasonable….. I explored further and this is what I Found………

 

 

 

 

The price from Indiatimes is THE BEST.

Makes me wonder then why have they tried this strategy of Bloating the MRP and then giving it as a BOGO offer?

Indiatimes.com, Due to this, You would have ALMOST lost a Client!!

And I am sure, for many more who would have not done this additional Study, Indiatimes.com would have been History. And a Bitter one!!

So

“Forgive me Lord, that I fell to Temptation!!”

changed to

“Thank you God, or I would have Sinned by being Unreasonable!!

Kal mile the teen yaar…… Ek Baniya , Ek Jaini aur ek Sardaar….. An Evening With Food, Friends and Facts!!

Gurpreet Singh Tikku 2 Comments

Kal mile the teen yaar……
Ek Baniya , Ek Jaini aur ek Sardaar…..

Hai teeno alag bas inko laata hai ikatthhe ek hathiyaar….
jo hai Swadisht vyanjan ke prati inka pyaar…..

Us Pyaar ko unhone Barraya, Pehle Soya Chaamp aur Fir PAneer TIkka ko Bhog lagaya

Paneer Kulche Khaye, aur saath mein Makhni Daal…
Fir aayi Saddi makki di Roti, Sarso de Saag de naal……

Sab kuch Bariya tha….. Magar Gajrela nahi bhaya….
And to overcome that , humne Daal ka Halwa mangwaya….
Usme bhi meetha tha tez….Aur is mauke par humne Chhora who mez….

 

Ki fir humne baate chaar, Which were meethi as Jalebi and Khatti as Achaar….

Karam, Dharam, UID aur Inflation par chala apna raaag…..

Nikli kahaniya…NIlke Naye Fact…. Aur fir Jaldi hi milne ka kiya humne Pact

Ab Fir kabhi jaldi hi mil jayenge aur yeh discussion aage barayenge..

Fir Milenge Ek Baar….

Ek Baniya, Ek Jaini aur ek Sardaar

This www.SecondShaadi.com is surely heading towards Divorce. Sooner rather than Later!!

Yesterday evening I received a Mail on my Gmail id from www.secondshaadi.com ….Asking me to Verify my Phone Number. And I ignored it, knowing well that it’s a spam.

 

But a few Seconds later… I received a Mail saying “Registration Complete”.

Still Ignored!!

And then the chain Started and Weird Names like TRULY, VIRAL and some common names like John, Sumit, Suresh, Jogesh Start EXPRESSING interest in me.

And Some of them…. Truly, Jogesh and Iqbal even sending me Private messages.

 

 

I just wonder what will these Sites will get by falsely adding members to their Sites.

And this is no eCommerce Sites….. which I may be tempted to fall for ONE DAY!!

Second Shaadi is a Niche Site and is not for everyone’s consumption!!

On Closer Scrutiny of their Twitter Account….. I found that they are tweeting Classified details of the would be grooms……. And to my astonishment it had details of people who have “NEVER BEEN MARRIED”… Something I am sure “SECOND” SHAADI does not stand for.

 

 

I guess….It’s time for these people to rethink their strategy…. or it would be THEY THEMSELVES, who would have to look out for a SUITOR for themselves to pull them out of this quick sand they are voluntarily immersing them in!!

Subah Subah Hokar Teyarr, Dekhne Chale HUM, Movie “Son Of Sardar”

Gurpreet Singh Tikku 6 Comments

What would you expect from an Indian staying in Delhi to do on a Diwali morning?

Getting up early…..Taking Bath, Wishing Parents, Going to Temple and do Pooja!!

Shift to our household…….All of us supposed to get up at 6:30 am…..Got up at 7:15 am……for a “Son of Sardar” Movie Show at the Cinemax @ Pacific Mall, Tagore Garden.

Just got DRY CLEANED and with an extra hop in our steps and the Son of Sardar tune on our lips….we rushed to Cinemax……and took our seats in the HOUSEFULL mall. And we thought only we would be the crazy souls there.

After the Dabangg-2 Trailer and the Trailer of Khiladi 786, we wondered that Rajnikant would be feeling ashamed of himself. As it was tough to do what Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar have done in their respective upcoming movies.

We were again wronged…….Even Ajay Devgan was trying to be a la Rajnikant and Surpassed him in some stunts in SOS!!

The Movie starts with a dashing entry of Ajay Devgan on 2 horses amid the background score of SOS.

One cannot resist whistling and clapping and this SILSILA continues till the end of the movie.

The Movie is set in a background on which several hundred movies have been made before #Badla, #Love Story etc etc………

But how this movie is treated with so many different Characters and each one a prominent one and playing the role to the perfection making their mark.

SOS has it’s bits of Tensions, Romance, Comedy, Shayari, Songs, Jiggs, Train Scenes, etc etc……… and all laced with lots of Humour.

One can not sit continuously on his seat…….The One Liners, Punches, Shers, Make you jump from your seat and clap.

Here is One Liner for each Character:

Ajay Devgan                       Has done full justice to the Role and his efforts have materialsed. Yes in Some scenes he does look funny….. But that was exactly the Intention

Sonakshi Sinha                  She is the new Girl Next Door after Kajol. You cannot avoid to Adore and Love her.

Sanjay Dutt                         Sanjay Ditt has never done this kind of Role and this movie would be incomplete without him.

Juhi Chawla                        The First Girl Next Door…….is “Makhan Da Perra”. Need I Say more.

Tanuja                                  With her Phulkari Dupatta’s she looks good and plays the role of the matriarch to the Hilt. Would have wished he would have casted his Wifey kajol too in a small role like his Mother In law or may be just a cameo. L

Vindu Singh                        After Long he has got a Role that suits him perfect. And he leaves no stones unturned to act to perfection…..A Dialogue Associated with him “Silencer te Laga” will stay with us for long

Mukul Dev                             He repeats his Yamla Pagla Deewana act and makes us laugh with his perfect Comic Timing

Arjan Bajwa                        This young gentleman plays a Friend and proves one too. I am sure many Girls would leave the hall with his Memories

Salman Khan                      SUPER STAR!! Anything more and I would demean him

Small Sardar Kid                Adds the innocence to the movie and reminds of “Tussi Ja Rahe ho, TUssi na Jao” Kid of Kuch Kuch Hota hai!!

In short….GO and Watch……Aisi Filme kam hi aati hai!!

 

And Yes Music is Good and Sonakshi ki Dresses Bhi Acchi hai!!

 

Oh did I tell you that we didn’t have anything to Munch during interval???

 

In the Hustle Bustle of Early morning Show…….I missed brushing my teeth :-)
