Not long back he came to Bombay now Mumbai when he was 14 years old from a distant village in Uttar Pradesh. He had the dream of conquering the world in his eyes, the dream which eventually brought him to the centre stage of Mumbai’s underworld and made him the most dreaded figure of this obscure place.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raghu had developed a huge passion for horse racing and gambling , he has more than 50 stud farms across Mumbai which breed some of the rarest breeds of horses. He remembers each of his horses, their pluses, races won all at the back of his hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 years back&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The passion for horses and his subsequent rise to power started the day or shall we call night he met Tipu, Sonali and Makran. It was pitch dark, one of the worst power cuts of Mumbai, Raghu was on his way back on his bicycle from an assignment given by his boss...suddenly at that moment a gush of lightning struck him and he heard a heavy voice telling him “Raghu, my son GET ME A COLD-DRINK” raghu looked around “startled” he had no clue of who was ordering for a cold drink at this time when no drinks would be cold because of the power cuts, he replied back with a rather scary tone “Paise do”... the voice said “i don’t have the money but you can take my horses and fetch enough money for a Coke, i anyways don’t find a use for them ” Raghu agreed and took charge of T, S &amp; M. He never found out who was the person with the heavy voice unit one day....... the horses started talking to him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tipu, Sonali and Makran were the horses from Maka-re-reva Galaxy and had different special powers. Tipu could mimic any bollywood actor, Sonali could give madhuri dixit a run for her money and Makran could do nothing and still be popular amongst the female horses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once Raghu was in deep stress after his boss fired him for not being able to collect the hafta from the street beggars and getting beaten up by them. Tipu came upto to him and said in Amitabh Bacchans voice “Khudi ko kar buland itna...hai...” he told Raghu to train them for the races and be rich himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He trained the three of them intensively and got them qualified for one of the prestigious races in the town, he had bet all his savings that day on the race....all three of them and Raghu knew that they can’t win the competition using fair means. The strategy was simple – Sonali would start dancing while on the run to attract all male horses and Makran would spread his charm on the female horses, Tipu would take the advantage of all this and run past all competitors.. the plan worked to perfection and Raghu Won a great sum, big enough to fund all his desires and be the King of the gambling and eventually the underworld.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The End&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5724945086245477887-6168313873559773626?l=bluecoffeemug.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bluecoffeemug.blogspot.com/feeds/6168313873559773626/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5724945086245477887&amp;postID=6168313873559773626' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5724945086245477887/posts/default/6168313873559773626'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5724945086245477887/posts/default/6168313873559773626'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bluecoffeemug.blogspot.com/2010/06/bakwas-idea-bakwas-writing.html' title='Bakwas Idea, Bakwas writing'/><author><name>bluecoffeemug</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10254420689366391306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724945086245477887.post-5089078575174869708</id><published>2009-01-16T01:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-16T02:09:32.743-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='love'/><title type='text'>Finding my way back</title><content type='html'>It is not very nice to see no updates on your blog and it dying down with time, for sure it &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;all ready&lt;/span&gt;

Loser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);font-size:85%;" &gt;*This is a work of fiction ;), no, not really :( i wish it was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5724945086245477887-7725775894558974554?l=bluecoffeemug.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bluecoffeemug.blogspot.com/feeds/7725775894558974554/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5724945086245477887&amp;postID=7725775894558974554' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5724945086245477887/posts/default/7725775894558974554'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5724945086245477887/posts/default/7725775894558974554'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bluecoffeemug.blogspot.com/2008/01/pursuing-success.html' title='Pursuing Success!'/><author><name>bluecoffeemug</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10254420689366391306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724945086245477887.post-7292445302962044900</id><published>2008-01-05T07:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-06T06:54:24.258-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><title type='text'>Seven Days are all we have</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Solomon Grundy,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Born on a Monday,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Christened on Tuesday,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Married on Wednesday,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Took ill on Thursday,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Grew worse on Friday,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Died on Saturday,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Buried on Sunday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Couple of days back a friend shared this  nursery rhyme with me which does "sums up life", thought of sharing it with you all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-family:verdana;" &gt;Had to add this video a long time back, finally doing so.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;

to get more out of everything, of everything...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't work for money, i work because i enjoy what i do...But, considering the things which i plan to get for myself ASAP, money is IMPORTANT..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Some of the goodies on my short term buying list:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want a luxury car, a honda city is what i plan to get.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;X-box, i know, i know, am not that much of a gamer and i don't have enough time to play either but, i WANT it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An 80 GB Ipod.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Macbook, though i have recently bought a laptop, but sadly it's not a mac..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A swatch, i love watches, have loads of them...a swatch is missing..frankly, that's one brand i can afford..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw this amazing jacket at Reebok outlet, bought the other one, since it was better,  the one that was left off, i want it :( .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am sick of my formal pair of shoes....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A gud sweatshirt is missing from my wardrobe this season, so, a couple of those.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passes to meridien for the new years eve ( wont have to pay for those ;) hehe )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

want, which is more important than anything else, some one in family is critically ill...i want him to get back to normal..i want god to listen to me..i promise, i'll live up to the promise i have

It was an eventful week though, two of my friends got engaged on the same day and I m very happy for both of them and wish them all the happiness and luck in life. People around are settling down in their lives and in a few months time I’d be the only single left amongst my friends, one of whom even has a sweet and cute baby now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;The last year of my diploma in engineering a friend of mine (one who has a baby now) fell in love with a girl who he used to give computer tuition's too, the major problem, girl was a year elder to him, we friends thought that there was no chance of anything substantial happening in their case, until one fine day he sent out the invitations for his marriage with that girl, he was the first one amongst us to walk down the isle. He has a happy family life now and we don’t get much of a chance to see each other that often…..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;The next friend who got hitched has a amazing story, he was the lover boy of our gang, he had/has ;) the tendency to fall in love with every beautiful girl that would come along his way and the best part of it all was that the girls adored him. Into his job, he finally found a girl that he decided would be the ONE for him, he put every effort behind to impress this girl and finally succeeded doing it, but the problems never&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;seem to leave us guys, the girl was from a different community and her parents straight away disallowed the relationship. Both of them, I am glad, then, took a bold step to get marry without the consent of girl’s family in a hush hush affair. Now the girl’s parents are happy and everything has turned out to be great.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;The next one who got himself hooked too has a great story, he has dreaded this girl for most part of his life, three of us were in same school and same college and then both of them got onto the same job. I remember how he used to say that he wants to stay away from her and how we used to laugh at him and his poor luck. We could never ever think that they getting married were a possibility, the day he broke the news to me I was shocked!!! I had a glass in my hand which literally fell over, much like the scenes we see in the movies. Anyways he’ll dread her for the rest of his life now, just kidding… &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;al&lt;/span&gt; the best to you guys. Love’s Blind!!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;The last one, a friend, who I fell in love with and No, I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;didn&lt;/span&gt;’t get as lucky as my other friends………….. she’s happily married now and I love her more than ever and think of the past as a mere &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;illusionary&lt;/span&gt; phase of our lives and yeah! “what ever happens happens for good” and meeting her was one of the best things that happened&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;in my life. Wish her loads and loads of happiness and lots of love. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5724945086245477887-6021919614500675606?l=bluecoffeemug.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bluecoffeemug.blogspot.com/feeds/6021919614500675606/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5724945086245477887&amp;postID=6021919614500675606' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5724945086245477887/posts/default/6021919614500675606'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5724945086245477887/posts/default/6021919614500675606'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bluecoffeemug.blogspot.com/2007/07/cheers-to-friends-nd.html' title='coffee post V-1.1'/><author><name>bluecoffeemug</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10254420689366391306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724945086245477887.post-5096818087569270823</id><published>2007-07-05T09:57:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-06T22:31:17.116-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='happiness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><title type='text'>Pursue  happiness</title><content type='html'>"Happiness is something we can never have, we just pursue it." Is a dialogue i remember from "The pursuit of happyness" staring will smith, the name for this Hollywood flick's inspired by American deceleration of independence Drafted by Thomas Jefferson, he writes :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the &lt;strong&gt;pursuit of Happiness&lt;/strong&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is that that happiness has to be pursued all through ones life ? and why cant we be happy and content with what all we have at this moment? I might be wrong here but, are there people around who actually are happy and satisfied with all they have? or, the happy and smiling faces we see on the roads, at our workplaces, are all false and make-believes  ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happiness is a state of mind(as has been said and written at many places)  and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;You are happy when  things around you are progressing the way you want them to be.&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Everyone who knows you loves you.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Everything you do in your professional or personal life is appreciated by people who matter.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;You are successful with loads of money in your bank account, a swanky car and a house of your own in a posh neighborhood.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happiness is meticulously related to contentment. The most happy people are the ones who make the best use of what they have and don't think of the things that they cant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I myself am not very happy with the way things are going on in my life and i do crib about it a lot, often jokingly with my friends, my reason for not being happy is rather stupid..but everyone has his/her reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must learn to be happy and enjoy all the good things this universe offers us, there are times in  life when you feel down and get angry with the situations building around you but don't let those brief moments hamper your spirit, keep up the high hopes, deal with the present however bad it is with tough resolve..
