So you think you can Write?

"I woke up and i saw the fan turning and my mom was screaming out of her voice downstairs to wake me up. And i realized, It was all Just a dream!!". Dude, seriously? You write some romantic tragedy or a fairy tale fantasy and in the end, neither does she die, nor were the elves real and It was all just a dream!! I was as young as 4 to 5 years old since I've been listening to, and reading stories like these. What people write :  Usually they start off with the type of writing which involves the so called "solving the mysteries of journey called life". Very sophisticated stuff I tell you. Everyone would have tried their part in this kinda writing. You write it and read it a couple of times and input all aspects of your thoughts into it. You'll literally love the stuff. Now, you walk behind them asking your friends to read 'em. The baffled friends (whom you are ridiculously torturing right now) would get nothing out off it and you sit along explaining the depth of each and every phrase in it. Its embarasing but, you dont care. You feel content for letting out all the philosophy you've piled in yourself for years on to the papers.
 There are few i would love to share. The ones which my friends wrote about.
 Dennis, he wrote about the ever famous topic 'What if there was another earth!'. Planets, universe and a hell lot of aliens were always in vogue while we were in high school. Every english essay question was about 'A UFO went past by your house last night. Write a brief diary entry on what you experienced'. English exams always made us think and express on views that involved things we havent seen. 'Letter to the pen friend explaining your Holi celebration'. We'all know Its a fact that none of us actually had a pen friend whom we would talk about our Holi celebrations to. Tanya's was even better. She dint wanna be grammatically wrong and chose to write a poem. As she was writing it she kept making intentional mistakes in it. "It wouldnt look like a poem after all if the grammar is proper", she said. I back her on that. Poems never were written in good english. Why dont they just write poems with good grammar? Talking of which, i realized Karthik who wrote a poem with the help of a dictionary. His poem was more like an Alliteration overdose! Opens the dictionary to the letter S - section, and writes a few lines overloaded with words with S. And then continued the same with few other letters. To be honest, that was the most ridiculous stuff i'd read in my whole life. Eric wrote about how much he loved his mom and hated his brother. That was always there. Showering love and hatred to parents. Its not that fun to read but, it is the world's best piece of literature for the parents. "Beta! Come here. Read out what you wrote about mom to Shantanu Uncle! Aloud! ". Indian Parents, i tell you.
 Over coffee, meeting up with all my friends talking about things we started writing with. I dont really remember what i started writing about. Asked mom about it and she lets me know that there were few old books of mine up stairs. Opened them up. Old note books, assignments and stuffs. Searched for English Vacation Assignment. Story writing assignment. Colourful paper! Nice!
 This is how it went.. Started off with the fantasy land stuff, room filled with Milkybar and the chocolate factory. How much i love my parents for it. And in the end, " "I woke up and i saw the fan turning and my mom was screaming out of her voice downstairs to wake me up. And i realized, It was all Just a dream!!"
 THE END!

Mama's Day !

Would like to start the entry with a famous memester quote that says, "Nothing is really lost until mom cant find it!". That! That, my friend, is the fact of the century. It is amazing how she takes care of you no matter how old you get. And to be honest, you are much a better person than you actually are when seen through her eyes. You're smarter, you're better, you're more trustworthy, you're infact the most handsome man or the most beautiful female on the planet for her.

She has seen you since the time you were licking and puking in her hands as an infant to the annoying kid who drops his shorts down and runs to the loo to take a crap and call out "Mom!! Kakka Over!!" (In extreme cases you've shat all over on your way running to the loo.). She has seen it all. She has loved you with all she had and seen the dumbest you can get. Oh okie! You think you were smart kid and you haven't done anything stupid, eh? Yeah right! Go ask your mom she might let you know what a smart ass you were to have swallowed the naphthalene balls thinking they were mentos and testing how sharp the scissors were by cutting yourself. C'mon! You were the one who believed doctors cut out your mom's stomach when your sibling was born!

Since she's seen it all, you better be aware of who you messing with when you laugh at her sweet and simple funny Mother's day special moments compiled below.

#1 : Remember Tanya!? Her mom saw her watching Game of Thrones and thought it was porn. She yelled in the beginning and ended up giving her advice on sex!  She was in trouble but the person in deeper shit was her brother when she said "He downloaded 'em for me!"
Woah! Woah! Woah! What the hell is going on in the house?

#2 : Eric's mom ran up to him saying," There is a lady wearing bikini on my Facebook wall! Remove it for me!". He removed the bikini-wearing-ad-post off her wall and she told him about how confusing it is for her to use Facebook. "Never using it again!", she said.
"Eric! I got 14 LIKEs on my profile picture!" , the very next week.

#3 : For few of them mothers are still a source of terror. In Wazeer's case, she very much is. So much that Eric and i were talking about a rumor that Wazeer eloped with this girl and he wasn't around for few days. The two of us burst out laughing saying, "Yeah right! Wazeer's mom would have choke- slammed him like the Undertaker and would've broken his bones into pieces if he'd even thought of it!".

#4 : Mothers and technology don't go hand in hand. My mom called me up and said, "Beta, I want to send you a picture. My Bluetooth is on, but I cant see your device. Please turn on your Bluetooth." My mom was in Oman, I was in India....

#5: Where Hrithik or any other A-graded superstar is hit and smashed his consciousness out by the bad guys. He wakes up a bit and says "Maa! Mujhe shakthi dho!". There you go! There is a Rush of adrenaline and power through his body and he gets himself up and smashes the hell out off the bad guys.

Talking about Bollywood and mothers we cant forget the epic piece of classic Hindi dialogue. Sensational enough that when two of you are waiting for someone .. And one of them asks "Kahan hai woh? Is he gonna come at all?"
Like Rakhee in Karan-Arjun, you reply," Aayega! Aayega! Mera Karan Arjun Aayega!".

No matter how funny or crazy she gets, mothers are the perfect synonym for love and affection in the world.
Personification of care and she defines happiness, support and all the other good words.
For all the mothers in the world and to all the mothers-to-be this year, Happy Mothers day! You people make the world a better place to live.

Set to Sail, Aye Pirates!

Aah! The blog is finally up. And you might just think, It aint no biggy! Make and account and register a blog id and you have it. Looking at it that way, the 22 year old hasn't really earned anything to go all " Aah! The blog is finally up!" or give away a sigh of relief. Every Ramesh and Suresh has a blog. And why? May be because they find it a lil' more expressive than a 140 characters limited tweet and not too large of a venture of launching a book.
How different can your blog be? That's the first thought that would pop up on everybody's mind who relates themselves with a blog - both the readers and the owners. And above all of it, the Name! They might ask, whats in a name? Well, The Name is an interesting element. Let it be a blog or a brand or a person. A Name should do its part; not a lot it can do in many cases though. But most of the cases the name serves to be something that invites the initial supposedly good thoughts about the commodity.
Names can also be catchy if it comes with a WTF factor to it. Because, if you look around. We live in a world where the search engine is called 'Yahoo!' .. The operating system is named 'Windows' and cellphones are one of those fruits. Yeah right! Cellphones what comes to my head first when someone asks me if i want an apple. (What not? We have Lemon mobile phones here in India). So have you given a thought to what they wouldve been thinking while they named these. Umm, Yahoo! Yahoo! Could be an exclamation or a sound of joy with which the chap jumps up when he finds what he has been searching for on the web. While, Windows are your way to connect to a different place from another. Well, doors do too, but here, lets keep that aside and try to find a justification to name the OS Windows. So yeah! Windows is an OS that helps you connect to different types of applications. And hence proved, Windows is Justified! On the other hand, you could stand upside down or paint it green and call it a pickle still wouldnt get a reason effective enough to justify what an apple or berry has to has to do on your ears.
There are other bizarre examples around us too. Especially here in India, the Black smith close to Eric's place who named his workshop 'Metallica' or the internet cafe at RS Puram named 'Coffee Day'.
Well, the name here is CaptainBlogSparrow. Seriously? Do you really think I would give you a reason behind naming the blog so? After all, i would ask, so whats in a name!?
Now, you have a blog, you have a name for it, and you have expressed what you thought while naming it. "Aah! The blog is finally up!" yet? Hell no! Well, the name certainly isnt good enough to win he world for you. You hear a name Balotelli or Volkswagen Jetta (two of those names which i feel sounds different or standing out in fact). Next thing you wanna know is how Balotelli or Volkswagen Jetta looks like. Captainblogsparrow is just a normal looking page , with no extra effects and dramatic themes to highlight the text. Wait , that sounds too normal and boring for a page that's named "Captainblogsparrow"! Yup , the black and purple background actually has some significance. Last night I was up on my balcony stargazing, and in the vast space that is our universe, all I could see was Darkness. In fact more than 90% of our universe is Dark!I was intrigued by the darkness and that's when I decided to make the theme of the page Darkish. Why purple you ask? Its common knowledge that Purple is used to signify magic and mystery but that's not what it signifies here. On this page , the purple signifies.. Nothing really , it just looked good and went well with the black background so I chose it !

Finally, you have the name, the looks and is it yet time to "Aah! The blog is finally up"?! Umm, its still a no! You would know how good 'RayBan Aviators' look or how beautiful Cameroon Diaz is. That isn't just enough. You would wanna know how good the RayBan shades look on you or wait for the Diaz chick to talk to see if shes any good above the name and looks, to know if you really wanna come back for more of her. Likewise, the blog needs to talk. The blog has started talking and i hope you'll come back for more. Looking forward to make it large.
So hell yeah! The blog is finally up! Every once in a while , we have those FML days , where we don't wanna wake up , everything is screwed up, everybody sucks and you just wanna justify ripping someone's head off! Well , if you are having one of those days , Captainblogsparrow to the rescue!
