Lucy and Vicky Cont.

Vicky's actual name , I can hardly remember but I'm sure it would have been something I could not pronounce, something in Cantonese like Ming Yuu---oo--ng...  , I dont want to be racist but Chinese names are frankly very difficult to pronounce unless it is small or cute like Lin Lin or Ming Ming.  Hence, it is necessary for Chinese students overseas to have names like Bryan , Stella and so on...  which is kinda cool coz they can choose a nice name for themselves and you can hold on to it for the rest of your life , if you choose to stay back in that country.  


Alrite then, too much crap about names now, one thing you'll notice about Chinese students overseas is that they are always in their group n speaking in Cantonese or Mandarin..  Also, within the group they are always in pairs like 1 guy 1 girl or 2 guys 2 girls and you will see that couple hang out throughout the semester..// sit together during lectures, together in the lab doing assignments..// probably live together n have sex as well.. watever..//  On the other hand, If you look at the Indian students group overseas, probably have 4 Desi boys and 1 nerdy girl..// The boys try and hit on Chinese girls but its hard for them coz 1. Chinese girls don't speak good English..// very rarely , which can be an advantage some times..//  2. Like I said they come in pairs and hence very difficult to get thru.


Now, as you know Vicky is Chinese , been in NZ for 5 yrs studying at a good university at Auckland, NZ .  She is fair, tall compared to other Chinese girls, she has beautiful hair that she keeps tied up and has really nice n deep eyes..//  I'll call her a serene beauty and also, great sense of style..// carries a knock off louis vitton bag ( plenty can be bought from China town ), lives at an apartment building wid a random room mate at upper Queen Street at Auckland CBD.  


Lucy aka LUCKY aka Puneet is a hard core Delhi boy, born and brought up in Delhi lives in East Delhi with his family and is one of the most memorable and interesting people I have met in my life.  


He is a remarkable human being and has a personality that can instantly connect wid people..//  You can put Lucy in a room wid the devil and I'm sure after 10 mins, they would come out together laughing as if they have been friends for ages.  Moreover, Lucy lives with his set of rules..// he loves his playstation..//  has a steady girl friend which he refers to as his " Bandi" ...//  when me n Lucy came to NZ together to study at University..//  Lucy had a single point agenda ( which I admire immensely as I'm not capable of sticking to a plan )  n that was to stay put in NZ..//          watever happens Lucy's resolve was that he is not going back..//  he was done wid crowded Delhi buses n traffic n noise n wat ever else Slumdog Millionaire has glorified around the world about India.  He sure misses Indian food but lets be real..//  who does n't ..//  I mean I missed Indian food more than I missed my folks in India..//  but those parties n freedom..// nights spend roaming high on Queen street  n at Showgirlz...  some how makes up for the food.  Interestingly, As I gave you a vague visual idea of Vicky, I think.. it would be nice to give you a fair idea about lucy as both of them are the protagonists of this short story , blog , watever.  Now, as can be seen Vicky has been described as a serene beauty by myself n well  lucy....///  hmmm...  I dont wanna be too honest coz he might read this...//  well.. lets just say Lucy was not that gifted in the looks department...  He's like your  average Joe..., medium height n built , dark , wears glasses ( tried contacts but did not work ) , has a bit of a tummy...//  but but but !!!  his personality n sense of humor makes up for it...!!  Whenever I remember the time I spent wid Lucy ..., I can only think of the movie Shallow Hal...  Lucy can be Jack Black n I  George Castansa... n v were probably like them... beautiful girlz never used to notice us...  But, everything was gonna change n Lucy n Vicky met..... 

Lucy and Vicky

This is a story about 2 individuals and before guys start dreaming, this is not about a lesbian couple at all.  In fact, both these names are alias names i.e. people have real names but they get a new name which is easier to use for foreigners.  Anyways, both Lucy and Vicky were students at a university in New Zealand, Vicky was a Chinese student  from the mainland...  she had been in NZ for 5 yrs and she was a permanent resident ; Desi students living or having lived abroad will understand the importance of this phrase PR.  People make strategies to get it..// it is so sought after..//  You can get married to native n get PR..//  get a good job related to your field may be that'll work.. n so on..  different strategies all to reach that elusive goal.  


Moving on, As I was telling you about Vicky, well..  Her actual name 

Following up on the same old blog

As I was saying...//  Tushar told Noor that he is going to New Zealand and wants to settle down there..//  Tushar had been studying Chinese and wanted to make a career as a translator/interpretor but the language was getting difficult as the years went by and made him look for other options.  This was a part of Tushar's personality, he had the knack of running away whenever things started getting tough..//  he was told later in life by a friend that he is a "bagoda", Tushar hated that but somewhere deep in his heart he knew that it was true.


Tushar had expected Noor to be angry and loud after hearing this, but to his surprise her reaction was very subdued, to the extend that Tushar started wondering whether it made any difference to her if he left or stayed in India.  She said, " well if thats what to want to do then go for it", he nodded back.  Later, Noor left as Tushar's mom was about to come home and she knew that mom did not approve of their alliance.  


Things were moving rapidly, Tushar was preparing to take the IELTS , it was funny how so many pronounced it as aaiieelettss for some reason.  He was also going to this consultant at Nehru place who was helping him with his admission in New Zealand.  Also, he had a college senior who was also there named Amit..//  He was a great guy and they used to exchange e mails quite frequently..// Amit had a really nice job there and was doing pretty well.  Hence, Tushar's plan was to go to NZ..//study n work part time..// later find full time work become a resident , bring parents to NZ and settle down there but I guess, life had other plans

The guy who thought he had it all, just before he was about to throw it away

 This is my first post and the time or shall I say the moment is quite auspicious,  I was creating this blog and got a call from my boss who said he would like to welcome me back to the company, more on what and why this happened later,,,


Some ground rules (for the reader) -  when I write, I do it from the heart and have a tendency of moving away from the topic, if something else comes up.  Moreover, expect the grammer to be bad as I write freely but I will try to keep it a smooth read..// easy to understand and fun to read, like breeze blowing on a sunny day,,//  Lastly, some content might be mature ,so be sensible../


Let us come back to the title of my blog...///  as you can see its about a guy who ...//  line shamelessly taken from The Town...//  great movie though.. Ben Affleck doing a great job as a director..../// will talk bout the movie in detail some other time ..//  Now, this guy that had it all, v should name him...//   hmmm... think think  alright lets name him Tushar Kapur.  Alright then,  so.. I'll tell you a little bit about our guy Tushar..//  well,  he is your average joe types West Delhi boy belonging to a upper middle punjabi family.  About the family,  well..  Dad owns a shop at Karol Bagh..  nothin fancy just average but Ghar chal raha hai...//  Mom is a house wife..//  elder sister.. the go getter..// 


The moment -  Tushar is in his room, elder sister aka didi lives and works abroad,,// dad at the shop and mom away..//  Tushar is with his girl friend in his room,  the girlfriend is a sardarni, she lives in Subash Nagar and they are just lying there on his bed,,// holding hands..//  eyes closed..// Tushar is trying to remember the song from Armaggaddon..//  he's singing " I would stay awake, just to hear you breathing.....//  watch you smile while you are sleeping...//while you're far away and dreaming..//  I could spend my life in this sweet surrender..///  I can stay lost in this moment.../// forever,,,    Tushar had always loved that movie but later he began to hate Michael Bay movies ..//  She is really beautiful...//  the girl friend's name is ..  hmmm..  lets just call her Noor...//  Coz that's wat Tushar calls her.../  Noor is beautiful..//  she is just slightly shorter than Tushar,,//  she's fair, beautiful long brown hair  ( Tushar loves her hair but has never told her ) She has very deep brown eyes..// n whenever you look into them..// you can notice a mystery...  they are deep..// not shallow , most girls have that..  but not Noor, the eyes are telling you a story...// Tushar could never really understand Noor..// he liked being with her and she also seemed to enjoy his company.  


Coming back to the moment, Tushar is laying there holding hands,,// n he breaks the news, " I am going to New Zealand, I want to settle down there and later on bring my parents there as well".  More on this tomoro
