My favorite movie dialogs

Guess the movie names!


1. Unhe pata chalega ki ye raaz tum jante ho to woh samjhenge ki Maine adharma kiya hai.

Par bete, mere liye dharma wahi hi jo mahabharat me bhishma pitamah ne kaha tha-Dharmah matibhya udhritah.

Dharma wohi hai jo mati se janma leta hai
Dharma wohi hai jo buddhi se janma leta hai
Dharma wohi hai jo tumhare dil, tumhare man ko sachha lagta hai
Dharma wohi hai jo tumhari aatma ko sachha lagta hai

Maine apna dharma nibhaya hai, agar tumhari mati tumhe izazat deti hai bete, mujhe vachan do tum apne pita ka khyal rakhoge.

2. kahte hain shadi ki buniyaad be-entehan mohabbat honi chahiye, aur kuchh nahin. Kyon ki buniyad galat ho to rishte toot jate hain.

3. Ria aur main college ke dost the, fir humne socha, apni dosti ko ek aur naam de dete hain.Waise bhi ek dost ke sath poori zindagai bitane se behtar aur kya ho sakta hai. Kabhi kabhi dosti mohabbat ki jagah le leti hai aur fir mohabbat ke liye jagah hi nahin rahti.

4. Maya: kya baat hai, rishta sambhala nahin jata, no passion, no drama, achhi biwi nahin hoon, maa nahin ban sakti, itni kamiyan hain mujhme to chhod kyon nahin dete

Rishi: Kamiyan to hum donon mein hai Maya. Fark bas itna hai tum hamesha rishta todne ki baat karti ho, main jodne ki.

5. Don't forget I am also just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her.

6. If I were the man I was five years ago I'd take a FLAME-THROWER to this place!

Not sure if this is from a movie:

सिर्फ हंगामा खड़ा करना मेरा मकसद नहीं,
सारी कोशिश है की ये सूरत बदलनी चाहिए
मेरे सीने में न सही तेरे सीने में सही,
हो कहीं भी आग, लेकिन आग जलनी चाहिए

And you thought it was jungle raaz in Bihar


6th Nov 2011. My cousin and her husband were in the city for a treatment at VIMS. This morning, I thought to accompany them. We planned to get an auto.

“VIMS, Whitefield”, I enquired to an auto driver.

“Rs 150”, he replied.

“Let’s go by meter”

“No it’s out of city limits, won’t go by meter”

“Okay, then drop us to HAL signal, I believe that is within city limits”

“No, I won’t go there”

Had couple of more arguments before I walked for another auto. This one demanded additional twenty over meter fare. While riding in this auto, I took out my mobile and started noting down the no of earlier auto. That auto driver shouted, came running behind the auto and guess what…

…He snatched mobile from my hand. I was shocked.

I got down from the auto and told him, will you return my mobile or should I call police? After intervention of few localities, he returned the mobile. I thought to complaint once but ignored later on.

Ten months later, I was standing at same place and asking an auto for Total Mall which is about 4kms. By this time, auto tariff was increased and by new tariff the fare would have been Rs 44. He demanded Rs 80. I said “F*** off” and moved on. After walking a km, I reached a railway crossing, where there were two traffic cops managing the traffic. I asked another auto for the same destination. As I had already walked a km, the distance had decreased to 3kms. This person asked Rs 100. I immediately got down and said I am going to complaint to the traffic cop. The auto driver, smirked and responded confidently, “Go and complaint”.

I went to the traffic cop and explained him the situation. He gave me an ear but didn’t respond. After making me wait for five min, he says, the auto has to cross the border to go to Total Mall (I don’t know which border, may be he referred to his police station limits or RTO limits), so he can’t say anything to the auto driver. He further told me to pay Rs 80 for 3 kms.

I felt helpless and defeated by these turn of events. I crossed the auto again but couldn’t see in the eyes of the driver. Walked another half km and asked another auto. The demand was same. I said “F*** off” again and asked a biker for a lift. Thankfully, the biker dropped me to my destination.

Had it been a place in Bihar, first thing you’d have got cheaper transport in terms of shared auto. Even if you would have wanted to hire complete auto, the driver wouldn’t have dared to demand more, that too arrogantly. At a slightest display of arrogance, he would have beaten shit out of him. And had it been a cop and behaving the way he did it here, he would have been beaten as well. And you say it was jungle raaz in Bihar…

Of course sir, with pleasure

Scene 1:
One fine evening, I was traveling from Chennai to Mumbai by Jet Airways 8pm flight. The food served was good. For some reason, I didn't had my lunch and felt that the food was not sufficient. I stopped a passing by steward.
I: Excuse me! The food was delicious.
Steward: Thank you Sir.
Me: May I have one more Biryani.
Steward: Of course sir, with pleasure.
Scene 2:
I went to a restaurant with one of my friend. I browsed the menu but didn't feel like eating any of the items. I told my friend that I want to eat Biryani.
He replied-it's not in the menu.
I: Shouldn't we ask the waiter?
He: It's not in the menu, which means they don't serve.
I ignored his response and called the waiter.
I: Can I have one veg. Biryani.
He: Of course sir, with pleasure.

My friend was in a mood to argue with the waiter that they've committed a crime by serving an item unlisted in Menu; I had to persuade him not to do so.

Scene 3:
I was traveling out of country for a long term project. I had some issues with my State Bank netbanking and I needed a fresh login/password. I requested one of my friends to visit the branch with my passbook and enquire about the procedure.
My friend: Do you think that they will tell me anything?
I: Why not, you are represting me, their esteemed NRI customer. And you are carrying my passbook too.
My friend: Talk logical, customer information is confidential.
I: Of course it is. But you are not going to ask my balance, just a procedure for how to get a netbanking kit.
My dear friend reluctantly visited the branch. Waited for 5 min (yes sir, only 5 min. in State Bank of India, SPB, Branch Bangalore).
My friend: One of my friends wants netbanking access to his SBI account. Will you please tell me the procedure?
The Relationship Manager: Of course sir, with pleasure.

The bottom-line is - there are many things in this world which happen, you just have to ask for it. Don't hesistate.

International Language

Have you ever thought why do so many languages exist in the world? Because they were developed at different locations independently and there was no communication between those places. Now the world is getting united. Do you still think that Hindi unites India? Well, in number it may outweigh any other language. But India survives on English and hence the most of the world. Even Chinese are learning English now. Why should we carry something just because it was inherited for long? Why not be practical in making English as national language and mandatory subject, medium of instruction in all the schools, when we practically use English everywhere.

Other languages! let them be part of optional languages, literature, movies, plays (of course, some of the languages will then extinct naturally).

Are you afraid to propose?

Finally you have found someone who you consider to be good as your mate. You have already got acquainted and probably you are friends. You've decided to propose her. But you've a fear. Let's take a look at what kind of fears are going in your mind you've:

She may reject you. How will she respond? Will I lose friendship with her? How will I face her if she rejects me? Blah blah.

Your fears are not groundless. It's very difficult to handle rejection. But can't you take it like other battles in life. There are the chances that you may lose, but that should not deter you from fighting. Hope this quote motivates you - "To love and win is the best thing, to love and lose is the second best."

You think that she might feel bad. Oh, really? Consider the situation by placing yourself in her shoes. Will you feel offended if somebody proposes you? Even if you don't like her. Since you were proposed, you would feel happy that somebody likes you. Who dislikes to be liked? Simple logic!

Let's think about how she will react:

1. There is a gleam in her eyes. Suddenly there are tears. What are you waiting for, give her a tight hug and wipe her tears. She also felt it, but waited so long because she wanted you to propose her. Lucky chap!!!

2. "We are good friends, I never thought in this direction" - Your reply should be -"I hope you are not planning to marry a foe". Well, dude you have a chance, but you've to fight hard. Give her some time to think. To make her believe that you are a good choice for her.

3. "No, I don't like this idea. It’s better we remain friends only". Hmmm. Try to reason out. Don't press too hard. If there is something which can be handled like family acceptance, career plans etc, try to solve the issue. If she doesn't reveal anything, it’s a tough call. I'll suggest to look somewhere else.

4. "I've a boyfriend; we are getting married next month. I was going to invite you today". Stupid! What were you doing these days? Should have known this! Hard luck! Think that you were late else she would have definitely chosen you.

There might be some other responses, depending on what variety of this complex species you come across with. Being a common man, I have tried to list down the most common responses.

Why are you happy today?

On a beautiful morning, I was smiling and was looking happy. Switched on my pc and started checking mails. Suddenly Sam, my team-mate pinged me on messenger.

“Good Morning”

“GM” No puns intended, I meant Good Morning only.

“You are looking happy today.”

“Yes, you are right. I am happy”

“Why?”

“Because you don’t need any reason to be happy” I didn’t know the reason why I looked happy some days and gloomy other days.

“I don’t agree with you”

“You may disagree, opinions are different and they must be. That’s what makes life and world interesting and dynamic”

“Most of the people don’t agree with you”

“That is why, that is why... Most of the people are not happy”. And the conversation ended.

Leftovers

People say that I am sharp. Sometimes razor sharp. Some love my comeback replies, some get irritated, some hate and some dread. I love it anyway. Nothing gives me more pleasure than a good reply at the right moment. One such incidence occurred, a couple of days ago.

She is a friend of mine, I'd say very good friend. She is committed and her boyfriend is also my good friend. I was driving and she was sitting at the passenger seat. It was fourth day in a row, when she called me up and asked to pick her up from office. I am always ready to help the people whom I like without any interest of mine. It gives me some kind of pleasure. Little I know, this habit of mine may have some adverse implication and repercussion.

"Are you flirting with me?", she broke the ice.

I was shocked by this unexpected question. And irritated too.

"Are you flirting with me?", she repeated.

I tried hard to control my composure and prefered to be silent. I thought, she knew that we are very good friends and I never committed any such act which caused her ask this question.

She continued, "If you ever try to flirt with me, I will stop speaking to you".

A blow after a blow, for the crime which was never intended, nor committed. Now I started taking it funnier.

"Don't worry ma'am. I don't eat leftovers".

P.S. Can you come up with a better (ah, sharper) reply?
