Mooch nahin toh kuch nahin!!!!!!!!!!!!













Its the hottest day of the season..44 degrees..WTF...seems the distances between the mighty sun and our cute mother earth are just getting effaced. ..Are the two going around ;).....and here comes another drop of sweat droplet from my hair, following a clean path till nose and falling on my laptop...aaaa....just like the holy Ganga flowing from a dense forest and knocking at the doors of Arabian sea...........
Phew....forget it...but today’s post is about the Mooch alias Moustache alias....Its having so many names...the history of its name is as complex as to count the number of hair on your head.....

The word "moustache" derives from 16th century French moustache, which in turn is derived from the Italian mostaccio (14th century), dialectal mustaccio (16th century), from Medieval Latin mustacium (8th century), Medieval Greek moustakion (attested in the 9th century), which ultimately originates as a diminutive of Hellenistic Greek mustax (mustak-) "moustache", probably derived from Hellenistic Greek mullon "lip" ( I love you Wikipedia....;) )

My moustache came quite early at the age of 15-16....small black grass growing above my lips....i used to keep it as i wanted to flaunt it.. the signs of my youth age..but then i saw my photographs...which showed the disgust of my face due to my Moustache...so i had no other option then ..to press ctrl+X i.e cut it....

Leaving me....The moustache's history is as long as the age of man itself...Its a one of those gifts of god to the proud males...to distinguish us from our counterparts---females(among other things..lolz)....moving bit ahead...the Punjab and Rajasthan’s kings used to keep their moustache as high as Mt. Everest..Which served as the barometer of their respect...their rule...but as the time passed....the snow of this Mt.Everest started melting(no global warming here..)....it started becoming small in thickness, in length...in every dimension...and till now....I guess...it is being counted as endangered species....

The thickness and its shapes start increasing in ascending order as we move from East Asia to India...and it becomes more long and thick....as we travel to the vast deserts of Middle east..and Africa...from the thread like thin of Chun, Mun, Shins i.e. Chinese to a dense forest like thick of Khans, Pathans i.e. Arabian people...People like Charlie Chaplin, Hitler, Einstein, Verappan etc. got a special place in history due to their unique moustaches....

It’s still prevalent among Punjab especially sardars who are the flag bearers of the Mooch regiment....saviours of this Hairy thing... other people being our..Rajasthan people,some of our daily friends viz. Watchmen, doodhwala etc and our very own Bollywood.... Sardars still keep oiling their moustaches..My physics tutor used to...Sardars keep stretching the moon shaped ends of their moustaches....to keep them up.....above the sky...( i am not singing twinkle-twinkle poem here)....

This moustache has also caught the attraction of our bollywood...Shahrukh kept it in his average hit movies Paheli and Rab ne bana di Jodi...Salman Khan is keeping it in his forthcoming movie, Shatrughan Sinha kept it in all his movies...Amitabh Bachchan kept it in movie Lakshya...Hrithik kept it in Jodha Akbar....

But, our Gen-Y finds it uncool to keep this style....Girlfriends frown on having a glimpse of it on their Ranjhas' face...They give a caustic look and then act as critics aka Shoobhchintak...they keep suggesting to them to keep different looks..to look cool among aam Janta....then this depressed BF has to go to his stylist aka barber to get some work of scissors and machine..... Hair above lower lips and chin are now modified to keep that Makhi-shaped reverse triangular cut style of Dil Chahta hai.....to a straight hairy boulevard path from lower lips to end of chin...to those semi circular cuts above chin....among many others.(wow..I can be a barber now....lolz) ...

In all...we must keep a check on the decreasing limelight of moustache...being a saviour of this hairy angel thing would be much better than being a traitor...First of all....we should stop degrading people to avoid moustache...let those people love their style....We should ourselves try to keep this style for shorter intervals..Guys studying in colleges, working in offices should have a Moustache day for fun sake...keeping their moustaches in different styles...this will not only work as cool for their own image, it will help to save the low burning flame of keeping moustache....

In the end...i can just salute to the all people who are the torch-bearers of this sacred style...and love to remember those famous quotes on moustaches.... moochan de vatt, mooch nahi toh kooch nahin...etc...

Om Ganeshaye namah!!!....Now that's a desi way to seek blessings from god before starting any work…..but...for blogging….. I would need blessings of my creativity and thoughts..so my mind, soul n body…..be with me….lolz..

I read today's technical news...n just saw the breaking news...which pushes your desires to a new limit….which makes your toungues to wag out…..…....
Apple finally launched a new model of IPhone….and then even my desires started jumping to grab this geek but it will take sometime…but then something struck my mind…How this alphabet ‘I’ has haunted me for whole life…..

There is a long list of these Is which have take toll on my life........life of people around me….now, lets break the Ice and here goes the list of those Is that have and might…remain of my life for certain amount of time….

This ‘I’ is a faulty one but still it ate a good deal of childhood time…...Until KG class, I wasn’t aware of the Roman numerals and whenever results were written at the blackboard or somewhere…I used to read this sacred letter at the top of the board as alphabet ‘I’ and in line with it was written the class topper’s name….I always dreamt to have that ‘I’ and be among class toppers…getting thirst to be the topper and get that I but then my bulb glowed as I jumped from 1st to 2nd standard that this ‘I’ is not an alphabet, it’s the roman representation of ordinal numbers i.e. ‘first’……

This ‘I’ came at the dusk of my teenage years but it was the reason for my father’s major depression due to me….adding another feather to my chagrin….as he expected me to have this ‘I’ tagged as a badge on my life…..but I hardly cared to have it….It was the majestic ‘I’ of those 6 Engineering temples….……the divine IITzzzzzzz……This ‘I’ had shaken the time between my 17th and 18th birthday as I never deserved it because of my meager hard work…It was the time when I woke up to this liberal world and came out of that conservative sau and sharif ladka image…It was the time when I started copying my friends’ lifestyle and started trying new fashion…in short this maa da laadla got spoiled during this epoch….and that ‘I’ never became part of my life….

This ‘I’ is currently…not haunting….but its my dream to have this ‘I’ so that my above sin gets washed out…..this ‘I’ belongs to those mighty castles from where future managers come out….the mighty IIMzzzzzz…..This is the I that can change my life upside down in a blissful way and of the people who desire more then me to see me with this ‘I’….This ‘I’ requires to have those high levels of smartness and I.Q. that I have to achieve in these coming 5 months……and I am achieving my high performance levels to touch the summit of this ‘smartness’ peak….

These Izzzz come in the same package which I desire to have after finishing my MBA and want to grab them from my own salary….that salary that not even near to the money numbers that I get now…..These Is are all those gadgets lauched by Apple….IPAD, IPHONE, ITOUCH……they are still a dream for me which are attached if my that above ‘I’ comes in my life…..


Last but not the least, this ‘I’ is the one that is dreaming the above ‘I’zzz….this ‘I’ is the spoiled brat of his parents….this ‘I’ is the one with whom all of above Izzz follow….this ‘I’ is the one who wants to stand above all those Jzzz, Kzzz, Lzzzz who are around him…..and dreams of the coveted seats of IIMzz and IITzz…..this ‘I’ is His Holi Highness ME…..


Phew…not that long list…I guess…but whatever be the story…the whole Maya of this ‘I’ has captivated not only me but many other normal lads of my age….who have a life more or less…same like me….I just wanna say this to all these friends of mine….These Izzz will come and go from your life…No doubt…..they can enrich your life to new levels….but worrying for them will not bring any conclusion...Not having either of them is not the end of life…but one ‘I’ will always be with you and you have to always keep it happy….cherish it….respect it…and give your best possible….to make this ‘I’ smiling… and always stays bindaas…..This ‘I’ is simply……..you and me….as person…


Finally this ‘I’ epic has reached its end with these not-so-funny lines which I used in childhood to tease someone who just said ‘I’….

I I I I…..
Teri Girlfriend aayi,
Tune chai na pilayi,
Tujhe sharam na aayi,
