The stages of life are real strange, we expect the grass to be more greener on the other side but by the time we get to the other side our eyes are then set onto a newer blade of grass taller,shinier and still promising to be more greener on the other side! When Aamir Khan was singing ‘Papa kehte hain bada naam karega’ while smoking grass he was already married, yet unknown to the other women swooning over him in the crowd ,Beta toh abhi se hi Aish kar raha tha.
The stages life has put the Beta through, includes the following:
Beta 12 Karle Phir Aish Karega
This is where it begins , you feel like you are the whipping boy assigned to do the tasks of some prince who reaps all the benefits.. but you get whipped each time when the the idiot doesn’t score in Physics of the psychotic HC Verma (or) have to take two tuitions for Math: One for Boards and the other for Entrance exams. You never told us that prepration for Entrance exams will take a year by itself to scrape through to some engineering college ; and all the hard work you do in getting good scores count for nothing to take you to the next step? And yes the super good looking girl in class is going through the same struggle and is not interested in a conversation beyond the chaat session after tuitions!
Beta Graduation Karle Phir Aish Karega
4 more Years of Pains , Pimples and Paranoia where did we ever get time from assignments , projects, exams , sleepless nights before exams and travelling back home in vacations to regain the lost health just to look close enough to resemble a cloth hangar. A subsided education is awesome , but aage jaake toh laddoo ki ummed na karo, its not there.. it never was its like a mirage in a vague dream and goes beyond the logic of Inception. A Bpo job with a night time Dhaba serving Idly and Sutta is all that a Engineering degree can offer you ..be rest assured , the elusive IT company offer letter would have worn off in the Chennai rains and now would be blocking some corporation drain. And no you cant find a good looking girl in an Engineering college , just like the way you cant find a single strand of Black racist hair on Donald Trump’s scalp… or wait a minute, can you?
Beta MBA Karle Phir Aish Karega
Engineering kar liya phir MBA toh banta hai , a B School now is like the new marriage bureau you see batchmates who were not even seen together on Grad campuses getting hitched! And yes, you can get through this course if you excel in offloading BS , more BS offloaded will result in a more fertile landscape ensuring that you come through with flying colors. And all that knowledge gained is put to no use : Zomato displayed that in the Chennai floods, which had logistics ready to have food delivered to the needy but not to rescue them; Airtel marketed free calls but no Mobile networks! This is surely the sign of a MBA grads who gets paid to come up with such brilliant plans; an outcome of the numerous case study assignment which are never either morally or practically worthwhile. But you would still want to enroll for MBA for the same reason why you watch a Katrina Kaif or a Nargis Fakhri movie and come out learning nothing but still satisfied.
Beta Naukri Karle Phir Aish Karega
Naukri karna khandaani bimari hai who hamare gene pool main engraved hai. Do you now doubt why Rahul never protested when Sonia asked him to join politics ? He was just as brainless as Sanjay, unfortunately his Mother was never officially in power and never did invade a country 😉 And people are under the presumption that people who work earn , what in fact you are basically doing is selling time your life to people who wont be able to compensate you enough for it when you finally get exhausted and decide to leave. Well you do continue to pray during all this time that the matrimony ad will get you a Girl jise aap ‘Tann, Mann aur Dhan’ se sweekar kar sakte ho!
Beta Shaadi Karle Phir Aish Karega
Modi latest advise to Imran Khan was ‘ Beta zyada chakkaron mein mat pado single raho aur khush rahoge’ . Marriage makes people like Aamir Khan [Staring at you through the TV with a melodramatic pause ,his wide open eyes and a frown on the brow] think of leaving India…It makes Raja Hindustani get ridiculed as Raja Pakistani. Think about it ! But if you’ve crossed 30 and still not ready do take the plunge, your parents will kick you down the well like King Leonidas while shouting ‘This is Bharat ki Paramparaaaaaaa” But your heart always has a warm feeling when you see a very pretty girl getting married to an average looking Non Ambani and think agar isey mil sakti hai to ummeed abhi baki hai mere dost.
But as the famous poet Sid Rahiman once said ‘Aish Kare so Aaj Kar Aaj Kare so Ab’ this is the only way to live life ,which makes sense when it finally dawns on you for where you want to head and how you want to grow in life.To quote Leonardo Di Caprio “ To make each moment count”, warna ek sach toh zaroor banta hai:
Beta Mar Jaa Phir Toh Aish hi Aish Hai!
