Alone again Naturally (improvised lyrics)

[My lyrics to a beautiful song of Gilbert Sullivan from the movie ice age 3]

She is my Friend (Literally) [Alone again Naturally]

The 1st time I heard her sound
I didn't knew she'd be around
We talked about the sun and stars and everything on the ground

I thought I found somebody new
To spend my good times through

How could I forget, that the day I felt; this love could be for ever

I called upon her name, my life had found a different meaning
But you took me to the side and said its not what you have been thinking

I wish you only knew, how I felt about you too

you are my friend (literally)
yes you are just a friend (literally)

The Dawn of the Indian Super Hero: The Beginning


After leaving his home, Lakshman takes up a job in Mumbai city as a delivery boy. Although the job is not much, but it is enough to take care of his rent and food. To quench his thirst for knowledge, he applies for admissions in universities & collages, but since he has no proper schooling & identity, he doesnt get admissions anywhere.
Dejected he starts learning in his house by buying books. presumably his home is half full of books in no time. This takes a a toll on his already meager salary, and many a times leads to delays in paying rent. The land lady starts nagging about the delay in payments whenever she sees him, or when he returns home. To save himself from her, he starts coming very late from work, and uses his infrared device which he had made himself. this helps him to see where she is, so that she can never sneak upon him.

Days pass by and Lakshman begins to understand more about this world, but most of all he is fascinated by humans and their emotions. He cannot pinpoint, but he seems to understand their emotions well. The delivery job also makes him travel a lot due to which he now has a fair idea of places, landmarks and addresses.

One day in the morning as he is preparing to leave for work, he receives a call on his cell from home. He picks it up, the call is from his friends who inform that his father has died in the sea. Devastated he doesn't know what to say. They tell him to come immediately. Lakshman immediately prepares to go to his home. There he finds that his father is being led to the crematorium, being his son, Lakshman does the last rites of his father. Tears flowing down his eyes, he comes to console his mother who had been crying since morning.

He asks his fathers friends and uncles what had happened. Taking him aside, his friends tell him that it was not an accident and that his father had been murdered by a group of people. He cannot believe why somebody would kill his father. He was a good man and didn't have any quarrels even inside the house. On probing further, he comes to know that his father and his friends had set out to sea in the morning as usual, but they saw a boat approaching in the sea with men. These men had guns in their boats. Sadanand asked them who they were and what were they doing with guns. when the group didn't not respond convincingly. Sadadnand threatened them he would call the police. It was at this moment that they started open fire on fisherman, and threatened to kill all of them if they said anything about them to anybody. Hearing this his body cringed and his blood boiled, he wanted to kill all of them.

Upon this time, he heard about a terrorist attack in CST station. The news channels showed live footage of the terrorists who were on a rampage. Lakshman's friends identified these terrorists as those who had killed Sadanand. Blind with rage, Lakshman rammed out of the house and headed towards CST. While going to CST he learnt that the group has split and some of them were hiding in Taj Mahal Hotel. He knew the place and entered Taj from the rear and advanced on to upper floors, with his infrared detector he found where they were hiding. When he heard gun fires and crying of women and children his instincts took over him and he dashed head on towards the terrorists. The terrorists seeing another man approaching them started spraying Lakshman with bullets. But none of the bullets had any effect on Lakshman. Mad with rage lakshman killed every one with his bare hands and rescued the people from there. It was only later that he realized, they had shot him, but he survived. Surprised he checked on his body for bullet wounds, only to find his clothes tattered from the bullets, but not his body.

At the same time he heard that a terrorist was heading for Chowpatty. Grabbing his infrared device, he ran out of the hotel towards chowpatty. He also realised that he could run very fast. He reached Chowpatty in no time. He saw the terrorist in a car and ran towards the car. With just his hands he stopped the car and made it in to a pulp. He was about to kill the terrorist when police arrived at the scene. They asked him not to kill the terrorist. He didn't care for what they said, and was about to strangle him when he heard a women's voice "Please, dont take the murders of these terrorists on your hands" again instinctively he left the terrorist and handed him over to the police. He saw it was a lady inspector who had asked him not to kill the terrorist. He fell on the ground, but was helped by the lady and other policemen.


He woke up in the morning in the police station. he remembered what had happened last night and asked what time is was. The lady inspector came to him and told him all was fine. He learnt that her name was Urmila. He had saved many people last night, and that for his services he was going to get bravery award from the mayor.

The next day a function was organised to honour those people who had risked their own lives to save others. Lakshman felt he didn't deserve the honour as he was just taking revenge for his father's murder. But nonetheless he went on to the stage to receive the medal. The audience stood up when his name was called. Seeing the love of people for him he realised how much someone was needed to take care of this city.

Standing on the podium with his medal he decided one thing. He will be that some one

Someone to save this city from bad people

And thus Laksh the super hero was born

The Dawn of the Indian Super Hero: Background



On a planet far away from our milky way, people live in desperation about their future. Their only hope lies with a group of men known by name K.A.L.K.I. (Kinship & Allegiance of Lethal Klan of Incarnations). In a desperate attempt to correct their mistakes KALKI sends a man on a mission.

The future of the planet lies in its past. Lakshman, the only hope of the people, is sent to the past using time synthesis. But when he is in the process of disintegration, the time synthesis machine is destroyed by ASU's. this leaves Lakshman between the worlds, in a state of limbo.

A worm hole appears in the evening Mumbai skyline. Nobody notices it as it is raining heavily, they think of it as lightening. A group of fisherman, who are fishing in the sea notice something falling in the water. Mistaking it to be a big fish, they row towards it, only to find a man drowning. He doesn't seem to respond, believing he might be unconscious, the men tow him up the boat. but surprisingly they find him really heavy and large. It takes all the strength of the 6 people on the ship to bring him on board. They give him first aid and row towards the shore.

Lakshman is then taken to their house, where he is looked after. He wakes up on the 7th day, not knowing where he is or who he is? he has no memories. Thinking him to be an orphan, the fisherman who spotted him 1st, Sadanand Koli, adopts him as his son.

Days pass and Lakshman under the care of his new father learns the skills of fishing. Fishermen are surprised by his ability to learn fast. Within a week he masters the techniques and even starts giving tips on how to catch bigger fishes. Lakshman starts making enormous profits for the fishermen by using his techniques.

Sadanand notices that he keeps on learning new things and improvising it. Also that his thirst for knowledge is growing day by day.

Sadanand: Lakshman, I see you working day in and day out, you should rest a little and enjoy your life too.

Lakshman: I like working father, infact I want to make you rich, so rich that you will be the richest man.

Sadanand: (Hiding his surprise) but beta what after that, what will you do after making me the richest man.

Lakshman: (looking up undecided), I have not thought about it father.

Lakshman: (seeing his fathers eyes) I want to keep learning father, I dont know what I should do to quench my thirst

Sadanand: You will have to find the answers yourself my son. But remember 1 thing, one day you will have to control your urge, because "the most important thing that you will learn is to control your urge of learning".

Lakshman understand what his father means by that, to know more he leaves their home hoping to understand himself and answer his own questions of what he is, who he is and most important why is he here? He promises he will return to home one day, when he finds the answers to his questions.

Hate Story—the whole story of MRP


Hate Story—the whole story of MRP





Cast: Ranjit Surti = husband 1 
          Piyush Bhansali = husband 2
          Meena Coorg = wife 2
          Sanjana Varisht = wife 1
          Mayuri Rasik = Sanjana's friend, detective
          Harshwardhan Shukla = Mayuri's husband
          Kishan Chaurasia = divorce lawyer
          Anjuman = Piyush's friend, software developer




This is the story about four people and how their lives got intertwined unexpectedly. The story starts with the wedding of Piyush (Bhansali) and Meena (Coorg). They were living in a live-in relationship for 2 years, but decided to take the plunge and get married.

The marriage was a small affair with minimal people, and traditional wedding. After the wedding Piyush and Meena set out for their honeymoon in Hawaii. Piyush had already planned and booked tickets for the honeymoon, he thought Hawaii would be the best place for their courtship. But his decision was not just based on the place, he had heard a lot about its people especially the women. When Piyush and Meena arrived at Hawaii,  they were greeted with a dance show (item number) by the hottest dancer in town ‘Shiela’. Being just married didn't deter Piyush from flirting with Shiela. Menna didn't like it, but didn't say anything, she played along for everybody’s sake. After checking in the hotel, Piyush said that he was going out to meet his friend who was in town, infact it was he who helped Piyush organize the trip. Piyush went out alone and told Meena to order and eat food by herself as he would be late.

Piyush didn't have any friend, he went straight to Sheila’s room whose number he got to know from the reception. He knocked on the door, and was answered by Sheila. She had just come out of bath and her fragrance engulfed Piyush. He could not resist her scent and pushed her in to her room. She chuckled but didn't say anything. Piyush saw green signal in her eyes and took matter in to his hands. They had wild sex, which left most of the room and furniture misplaced. Piyush looked at the time and realized that it was almost midnight. He rushed on to his room and opened the door with his spare key.


Meena was awake, but didn't get up and pretended to be asleep. Piyush tiptoed in to the bathroom and took a shower to get rid of any smell that could trigger Meena about his escapade. Next morning Meena asked when Piyush had come, Piyush asked her if she had eaten her dinner, she said she had her dinner early and slept of by 10 pm. Piyush said he came around 10:30 pm and since he had dinner went straight to bed. Meena knew he was lying and had been with that bitch Shiela, but didn’t say anything. She wanted to get even with Piyush. That day the hotel had organized a tour for the couple, the whole day they visited various tourist spots and hangouts, Meena observed that Piyush did not leave any stone unturned with his eve teasing and flirting which made meena all the more angry and determined to make it even. They returned to the hotel by evening and after dinner they started to retire to bed. Meena gave an excuse of not well and asked piyush if she could go out and visit a doctor may be. Piyush offered he could come, but meena denied saying that she could do it alone. The already tired Piyush didn’t push and dumped himself on to the bed. Meena went straight in to the pub and drowned herself in alcohol, something which she had not done in the past.

She became so drunk that she almost fell off her stool, but luckily she was helped by a man. She thanked him and started drinking again. He said,” you know you should not drink that much if you cant handle it”. She replied,” its not the alcohol that I cannot handle, it is my husband”. The stranger became curious and asked what was it about her husband. He introduced himself as Ranjit, Ranjit Surti. He had come on a business trip. Under the influence of alcohol she poured out her story of how her husband had cheated on her and how she wanted revenge. Ranjit after hearing her story became quiet for sometime. Suddenly his eyes sparkled, and he came up with a plan…

Hate Story—the whole story of MRP (Part 2)


Hate Story—the whole story of MRP (Part 2)





Ranjit told Meena that he could help her in seeking revenge with her husband. He said that she could have revenge and more if she played along. Meena listened with rapt attention to Ranjit’s plan. She became stiff after hearing the plan, as if blood had been drained out of her body. Taking revenge was one thing but this, she she thought was a different ballgame altogether. Ranjit convinced her and seduced her to have sex with him, she finally relented to his wishes, more so because she found him irresistible and could not deny anything that he wanted. Ranjit knew she was all his for taking and wasted no time. He took her to his rented home. Ranjit half-carried her in to his bedroom, and dumped her on his bed. Meena under the influence of alcohol started calling him names which turned on Ranjit all the more. They had wild, passionate and rough sex the whole night. By the time Meena woke up it was already nearing noon. She found that she was naked and had scratch marks on her body. She realized whatever happened last night was not a dream. Ranjit came in and handed her a cup of coffee and some aspirins, which she took. After sometime the throbbing inside her head stopped. She asked Ranjit what had happened last night. He didn’t say anything but pointed his finger to the camcorder. She could not believe he had carried out the plan. She checked in the camcorder and found it had recorded everything. She panicked, but Ranjit assured her.



She finally left his home and reached her hotel. On reaching the room she found Piyush sitting upset with the phone in his hand. “where the F*#k had you been, I was trying your number since morning”. She said she was ill by the time she reached hospital, and there she saw her friend who was working as a nurse there. They went to her home and because she was weak and sick her friend insisted on Meena spending the night with her. Piyush was not convinced but asked if she was Ok. She said she needed some rest and went to bed. In the evening Ranjit called her and asked when he should carry out the next step of their plan. She was not sure if she wanted to go forward with the plan. Ultimately she asked Ranjit to wait for some days and told him she would call. 



Days went by but Piyush didn’t change, she could not remember when was the last time they had made passionate love. This prompted her to call Ranjit, she found solace in him, but more than that she missed the wild session she had with him. She said it was time and asked Ranjit to send the CD. Ranjit sent the CD that they had recorded in courier to Piyush in his hotel. Ranjit then called Piyush on his phone and told him he had a CD of his wife getting physical with another man. He threatened him to expose his wife on internet if he didn’t give him 50 lakhs. Piyush believing it to be  prank call, asked if he had any proof of the video. Ranjit told him to check at his hotel reception where he would find a courier in his name. Piyush slammed the phone on the ground and rushed to the reception. He found the courier, and after watching it became convinced that it was his wife, but he could not see the man as his face was blurred. Angrily he called Ranjit and told him 50 lakhs was too much he would not give a penny more than 15 lakhs. Ranjit stuck to his threat and said it was 50 lakhs or nothing.



Reluctant he agreed to pay the amount, but asked what’s the gaurentee Ranjit would not use the video again. Ranjit assured him by saying he will give him the camcorder and video. They met at a secluded place where Ranjit asked him to drop the bag and drive 200 meters forward where he would find his bag in the dumpster. Piyush did as instructed and got the bag. On checking it he found the camcorder and the video. He returned home frustrated. He thought enough was enough and planned to get a divorce from his wife, so that even if the video did leak he would not have to face the shame. He told Meena that what she had done was unforgivable and asked for a divorce. Meena started crying and wailing but this has no effect on Piyush, in fact he became more persistant to go ahead with the divorce. Finally they got divorced through the divorce lawyer Kishan Chaurasia. Kishan asked what alimony would Meena get as she was a dependent wife. Piyush reluctant to get rid of her said he would send in a monthly amount, but Kishan said it would be better if he gave her a substantial amount and get rid of her for ever. Heeding to kishan’s advice Piyush and Meena settled for 10 lakhs as alimony and they got divorced. She paid Kishan the bribe that she had promised. Kishan was Meena’s henchman, and it was she who told Kishan to convince Piyush for a lump some one time amount against a monthly income. As soon as Piyush was out of her life she called Ranjit, everything was going according to the plan. She headed for Ranjit’s home and planned to spend her days and especially nights with him. They had a wild celebration which prompted his house owner to check in what’s happening. After staying with him for few days they planned to return to India where they would decide what to do with the money.



Meanwhile, Piyush got restless and angry not because he lost his wife but more because he lost 60 lakhs due to that bitch. Even Sheila could not make him happy anymore. In frustration he saw the video of his wife, but no matter how hard he tried he could not identify the blurred image of the man. Then an idea struck him, he  went to a computer shop and asked whether blurred images in a video could be made clear. He came to know they could be. He recollected that a friend of his Anjuman, who was a computer graphics programmer stayed in there. He gave the video to him and told him to make the blurred image clear. He finally came to know what Ranjit looked like in real life. Bent on rage he decided to kill Ranjit and take his money back. With the help of Anjuman he ran in the image of Ranjit in to the government’s population database, but the database came out clean. Even after trying several times he found no information about Ranjit in the database.



Frustrated he went to the bar for a drink with the picture of Ranjit in his hand. While serving him his drink bartender saw Ranjit’s photo in his hand and asked him if he knew the guy. Piyush said it was his friend but he could not find him. Bartender said he regularly saw that guy in the pub, and also said that the last time he saw him he was with a woman. Piyush’s heart jumped, he took out a picture of his wife and asked whether it was this woman. Bartender said she seemed familiar but he could not be sure. He asked the bartender if he had any information about Ranjit. Luckily bartender said he once mentioned his address and said Piyush could find him there. On reaching the address he found out that the place was rented and upon confronting the house owner learned that his wife was with Ranjit and he had been conned by both of them. His anger burned and he sweared to kill both of them. He learnt from the house owner that Ranjit had left for India 3 days back. House owner said that he did not have any more information about Ranjit, other than the fact that he was an Indian businessman and came here once or twice in a year.



Piyush now planned how he would get rid of both of them and also get his money back. He let his friend Anjuman in to his plan promising him a percentage of the amount. He returned to India to find Ranjit and Meena….





—To be continued


Hate Story—the whole story of MRP (Part 3)



Hate Story—the whole story of MRP (Part 3)




Ranjit didn’t return to Mumbai his home but booked a flight to Delhi. After reaching Delhi, Ranjit and Meena checked in to a hotel. Ranjit called his wife Sanjana from there. 

Ranjit: “Hi Darling how are you”

Sanjana: “Ranjit! Is that you. Oh how I miss you dear, when will you return?”

Ranjit: “It may take another week sonu, will return as soon as possible”

Sanjana: “I love you”

Ranjit: ”I love you too”

Meena was looking at Ranjit all this time, even though she knew Ranjit was married, she could not think of sharing him with another women, not from now onwards. Ranjit knew what she was thinking and said it was she whom he loved and would get rid of his wife as soon as possible. They started planning on what to do with the money they had. The safest way would be to deposit the money in a bank. Carrying the money with them was risky and dangerous. Ranjit said they could fake their marriage and get forged documents and passport. Then they would deposit the money as a joint account, so that they both have access to the money.

Meena and Ranjit both agreed that this was a good idea. Ranjit went out to make forged documents. He had contacts and knew where to get them. 
Meanwhile Meena planned on making the evening special for both of them. She ordered wine and caviar for their night, she had heard caviar was a good aphrodisiac. She also ordered rose petals and aromatic oils for bath. She wanted to make this night the best he would ever have. 

Ranjit came in the evening tired, he entered the room with the spare key. Meena was waiting for this moment. Meena said,” honey am in the bath, why don’t you come here”. Not feeling sure, Ranjit went to the bathroom. Meena was in the tub and the water was covered with petals. “You seem tired, why don’t you also take a bath with me”. Ranjit knew where this all was going to lead, and he could not wait to see the end. They both had a shower and bath together and all this while they could not keep their hands off each other. It was as if they were discovering each other for the 1st time.  After their bath they wrapped themselves around a single towel and tiptoed to the bedroom. Meena asked Ranjit to get ready as she wanted to take him somewhere. Ranjit could not believe there was more to this evening. She chose a dress for him and went to her room to change her dress as well. They both then had a candle-light dinner on the terrace with wine and caviar. They both den danced to slow music before becoming the animals that they were on bed. Their love making lasted more than an hour which left the bedsheets and pillows ripped. At last they both drifted to sleep. Meena was right; this was the best evening Ranjit had in his entire life. One of them was thinking,”this is the person whom I want to be with for the rest of my life”. The other one was thinking, “The time will come, have patience”.

 Piyush and Anjuman returned to Mumbai. They just had the full name of ranjit and his photograph nothing else. Nonetheless Piyush knew Anjuman would be able to find him with his hacking abilities. They got to know that Ranjit was a resident of Mumbai and that he was married to Sanjana  Varisht. Piyush took out the details of the address and planned to raid the house. He and Anjuman went to the address and found Ranjit’s home. Piyush knew Ranjit would not have told Sanjana  about Meena. He though he would go in as a friend of Ranjit and see whether he can have any lead to Ranjit’s whereabouts from her. 

Piyush rang the bell which was answered by Sanjana. He introduced himself as Ranjit’s friend and business colleague. Sanjana said Ranjit was in Hawaii and would only come 1 week later. Both Piyush and Anjuman glanced at each other. He was right Ranjit had not told anything to Sanjana. Piyush thought she could be a good ally to him and help in finding her husband and his wife too. Piyush then showed Sanjana the video tape of Ranjit and Meena, Sanjana’s expression changed from curiosity, to frustration, to anger , to pure rage. Piyush told sanjana all that had happened and asked her whether she would help him find her husband and his wife. Sanjana had just one thought in her mind, ‘KILL’. Piyush told her that Ranjit was in India only and not in hawaii. But he didn’t know where in India he was. Sanjana said she would find him. She then called Ranjit and talked to him for some time. After some time Sanjana came to Piyush, she told him Ranjit was in Delhi and was staying in a hotel. But she could not gather any other information from him. Piyush was amazed how she had got the information, but Sanjana was unfazed, she had not done psychology for nothing. 

Sanjana was still boiling with rage, the same rage that Piyush had when he got to know about his wife’s deceit. It was a common link for both of them. But piyush knew rage would not help in finding the duo. They would have to chalk out a plan. They dropped the idea of going to delhi and looking for ranjit and meena themselves, since ranjit and meena would be able to recognize them. Sanjana thought of sending a detective behind them who will track them for Sanjana and Piyush. Sanjana called on a number.

Sanjana: Hey how are u?

Number: Hi Sanjana long time, I am fine just the routine theft and kidnap cases, the field is becoming less interesting by the day. 

Sanjana: I have a case for you, it’s a personal one, would you be able to handle it?

Number:  what happened, is everything all right, offcourse I would help you.

Sanjana: cant tell on the phone, come over to my home.

Number: Ok, am leaving right now.

Sanjana (to Piyush): She is in, her name is Mayuri, Mayuri Rasik, she is a private detective and a personal friend, I could not have given this to anybody else. Piyush was skeptical about Mayuri, but he thought if Sanjana was fine with her, he had no choice but to oblige. Mayuri came half an hour latter. Sanjana and Piyush narrated all that they knew about the case, Sanjana started crying but was consoled by Mayuri. Mayuri agreed to help them track him down. She said she would have all the details about Ranjit and Meena in 10 days time. Piyush was impressed, Sanjana wasn’t. Sanjana knew it wasn’t a big deal for Mayuri, she wanted Mayuri to track them faster. Mayuri said she would do all that she can.   

Mayuri collected all the details of Ranjit and Meena from them and left for home. She entered her home and switched on the lights. She could not believe fate would get her a second chance with Ranjit. She had a score to settle with him. She would make him pay for both of them.
