League Of Extra ordinary Gentlemen -1
I always wondered why
we like some people. Is it because we find ourselves in others? Do we find
something we like in our life and we see the same in them? Probably and very much possible.
Here are two amazing people whom I happen to meet in AOL ashram ,so I jam packed them in one part with other
Extra ordinary gentlemen (EOG) which being part of next blog. These EOGs
impacted my life in one or other way, either in gross or subtle, certainly in
positive way which made me experience Life in more joyous richer and deeper
way. Consider these series of EOGs as my
effort of appreciation of some lovely people whom I came across on this
particular path of my Life.
Vandy Vandier :
I was just reading
this fantastic book world chess champ Garry kraspov “How
life imitates chess” which is
replete of anecdotes from battles on chess board. One particular chess champ
“Tigreon Petrosian psychological profile caught my attention as first person
who flashed my mind when I read personality of this man is Vandy vandier , not
that vandy is chess player but the depth of his personality is similar.

Vandy though South
African citizen of Indian origin is more a spiritual gypsy searching deeper
meaning of life. Traveling to different spiritual regions, trying to give
expression to the inexplicable calling of soul through myriad ways . His life is full of syncretism and
eclecticism. He is
Painter-Philosopher-Poet-Writer-Blogger-Travel enthusiast-Spiritual junkie who
dabbled everything including esoteric and forbidden substances.
There are some people
whom u meet who will repel u by mere presence. There are people who will
brighten the spirits by mere presence… When you talk with this guy, you will
feel as if you know him for ages. Its as if some ancient memory has woken up.
Such is his magnetic personality.
Very articulate. Very
creative. Very humble. Very mysterious like Sphinx , this Man has transcended religious identity , who is
on verge of spiritual cliff , before he spreads wings to merge into infinity.
His interesting take
on life through his eyes can be read on http://brahmagyani.blogspot.in/
Now I wonder, why he
stopped writing.
Commercial Break: Ding
Dong..
This is the photo taken after tired day at mid
night in irani café on one of the week days in city of nawabs” Hyderabad”.
As you see , three people having whale of time guzzling gallons of irani chai
for which hyd is famed for. Please don’t think these three are best of pals
though their association goes back to more than dozen years.
Who says you need to have same hobbies, likes
and dislikes or for that matter anything in common?. We three have absolutely
nothing in common. Only thing that brings us together is we literally suck each
others blood. When Garam Dharam (dharmendra) screamed “neech, kamane, kutte “,
probably he had we three rogues in mind.

Trust me,when we three come together , the
event is like super eclipse where all three celestial bodies : sun, moon, earth
coming together, which is not often. We meet in irani cafes. Pubs is for gals.
Coffee days are for lovers. Real hydi man goes to irani café . No matter what
ever your social status is. So also as pukka hydis we meet in cafes.
But when it happens, the result is massive
explosion of destructive sadistic humour.,Laughter riot and over dose of
Dopamine secretions.
Three musketeer’s slogan: “All for one and one
for all”
Our slogan : “None for every one and None for
anyone”.
We three involve in bitter back biting , cheap
gossiping , slandering about each other. but the special part is that all these
things get done right on each other faces, relishing every moment of
embarrassment other party undergoes. Trust me, these 3 are the guys , every
girls mother warned her about.
Rajoe the big Mojo : The poor rich boy , sits
literally on crores of wealth but no access to cash
Jacko the loose tongue lafangey : Always in
dilemma over on what he should spend his crores
Myself:
told u na, we slander about others , never about self
End of
commercial break…ding dong…
Rushdies Rustlings: Part-1
Like I promised , my dear
friends, here’s dollops of more dough on Rowdy Rushdie. Many avatars are there
in Rush but before I write more, lemme tell you..Rush is no blue tailed alien
species from James Cameron “AVATAR” .Rush is “She” in Brat-like-He-mind-set
with She-body set.(Simply put, she is a tom boy)
No matter what you ask , the answer is standard “IDK”..I-D-O-N-T-K-N-O-W.
Well, didn’t someone say that Appearances can be deceptive? But on this case,
only expression she royally carries is…”..I-D-O-N-T-K-N-O-W.-look . i didn’t
know if her name is IDK or she is belongs to same league of Amir khan in gazini
or Jason bourne in Bourne’s series ( my fav films) suffering from“ incurable
Amnesia” and thus has forgotten her name. maybe somewhere on her body her name
is tattooed. For quite a time I thought her name is “IDK” and maybe “IDK” is
nick name for something un pronounceable like the following Russian name
‘Varsonofy
Panteleimonovich Krestovozdvizhensky”
She has many avatars. Almost like Ravana, many faces , many
facets, many personas juxtaposed . One never knows which is true.
IDK the sportswoman (When
this 5 ft -50kg gal runs twice the 5 kms
and cycle 50 kms(minus 10), you seriously wonder if she is girl or lady version
of rajinikanth? )
IDK the funny blogger
( http://randdom-e.blogspot.in )
IDK the humanitarian
(check her fb dudes)
IDK the man-eating
vegetarian (oops, just joking)
Thus IDK is certainly combination of RDX+ TNT+ NIMHANS+ SPCA
..now that’s certainly mega explosive persona.

Now for serious stuff., despite of all faults and flaws , she is
girl with amazing empathy and astounding raw uncut intelligence. She is capable
of making brilliant analysis in real time. Trust me, I was baffled at times and
more often than not got intimidated by dazzle of pure grey matter, sometimes
even bordering to bruise on my male ego. Throw her dozen disparate dots and see
how she sees through wiles by connecting all dots into greater whole. Alas, she
is just not in right place to allow her hyper creative imagination give a free
run. There is something more…what I said
is stuff for world, some labels struck by world on her. There is core of hers , albeit unknown,which
is real stuff.
Best part of persona is hidden beneath the depths of her heart.
Now, this is what one should experience on their own (can u describe taste of
water to someone who never tasted water? So even I cannot describe it in words,
experience it at ur own risk). The mystery and esoteric stuff her core is made
up of is something that I wonder if even her own pals have felt or not…now the essence of those secret hidden spaces in
her heart is what makes Rushide unique,
wonderful n amazing.
