Desi Superhero … A Flying Jatt! 

Watch the film on Zee Cinema on 22 Oct @ 8PM and why ??

 

India’s first flying Superhero - A Flying Jatt saves the day. Bestowed with this incredible superpower he can also display some jaw-dropping martial art moves.

He has a Supermom - Most of the superheroes that we know pledge to save the world have lost their parents to an accident. But this super hero has a supermom who constantly reminds him of his duties. She definitely is a supermom!

Powers + Killer dance moves = Legendary Superhero - He has some really killer dance moves. Saving the world and burning the dance floor all in one – that’s surely no joke. Now that is what they call a superhero. 

The youngest Superhero - Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan also had special powers in movies like Krrish and Ra.One respectively. But what sets Tiger Shroff apart is his age. At 26, he bagged a superhero movie as his third film while the others have had a longer run in films before had a long career preceding their superhero ventures.

Jatt Fly Karda - As the name suggests, Flying Jatt is all about a superhero who not only goes all out to save his city, but also believes in his prime religious duty of helping mankind. He is the first superhero who has incorporated his human and religious sensibilities in saving his city.

Accidental superhero - Our very own superhero was not born with these powers but became a superhero by accident. A superhero at heart and and one who is courageous enough to fight despite being scared is what makes a ordinary man a true superhero.

Do your chores before you catch the ‘chors’ - He is no ordinary superhero because at home, he has to do all the chores like every other child. From lending a helping hand in cleaning the house or buying vegetables, this superhero has to do it all. He might be a superhero for the world but at home, you have to do what your mother asks you to do. 

A hero with a consciousness - We all have to give back to our society and the Flying Jatt definitely believes in this. A protector of mother nature and a condemner of pollution, this superhero does all to protect the environment. Our desi Captain planet.

A child at heart - He might have a serious job at hand but he is a child at heart. This is what sets him apart making him a fun, relatable superhero. He has the superpowers but he also has a child in him who will touch your hearts. 

He is coming to meet you soon - This superhero has no airs about having special powers and is very down to earth and humble. So, he has decided to meet you and save his beloved city of Amritsar with the World Television Premiere of his film, A Flying Jatt on 22nd October, 2016 at 8 PM.

Heroes: Badge of Honour

Failure is not a stepping stone to success anymore

Its not even an option as there are no 2nd chances, I get only one chance to earn… earn the Badge of honour.

I earn my place to compete against the chosen few as we transform from ordinary civilians to gentlemen cadets.

3 years pass by in a schedule which is alien to most out there.

While the world sleeps , I get on with my exercises at dawn, chasing the physical and mental abilities of my own mind and body.

I stay away from my family so that I may serve a family of over 100 crores later on.

I study the latest curriculum in a blur of just 24 hours everyday while doing practical training reading maps, setting camps , ambushes and even learning firing firearms while upholding the highest traditions of the armed forces.

Brotherhood and camaraderie are earned here..for the lifetime.

I aim to get my squadron to be ranked the best amongst all.

As I cross the “ Antim pag” during the passing out parade, I transform into a soldier now.

As the stars are pinned onto my shoulder, I have earned my Badge of honour.

I earn my place to compete against the best of the best.

As I train people call it TOPGUN while I call it TACDE*. 

I go through training given to the top 1 % of the pilots

My aim is to be the best in my job and for that I need combat knowledge which resides here.

I chose to hone my skills and abilities here, I cannot fail.

I try my best not to be amongst the 30% who don’t make the grade each time

Weeks are gone by as I train to be the elite, sharing the same space as my comrades from other branches of the air force. 

They also train to know how we operate and the help they could give us in times of need.

As I go back to my unit, I have truly earned my Badge of honour.

We train to be known as the black cats or the National Security guards

I have no background where I come from- I can come from both the police and the army. 

Only select few come to train here where only 20 % make it through.

I crawl in trenches during training as bullets are flying overhead and learn to shoot in total darkness or while being blindfolded.

I learn to operate in a 5 man hit squad, making sure that I can overcome any situation alone too.

I scale walls, make way through obstacle course while jumping over fire.

I hone my driving skills to make getaways at high speeds in dangerous situations.

At the end of the course after going through hell, I earn the badge of a NSG, my badge of honour.

I train to earn my badge of being a MARCOS* or as foes call it the “ Dadiwala fauj” (bearded force).

I train to deal with anti hijacking , counter terrorism and more unconventional warfare.

I train to skydive from various altitudes, cheating death majority of times.

I train to jump into the sea with full battle load.

My training never stops as I train all round the country with the counterparts both from the army as well as other nations.

The learning goes on for more than 2 years and I also learn the Krav Maga defence.

Loaded with 25 kg battle load, I am made to go through a 2.5 km obstacle course before firing at a target with my buddy standing close to it. 

Its my test of alertness while being physically exhausted and sleep deprived.

At the end of it all, I earn my badge of honour.

I am a volunteer, I wish to make it as a special forces operative or PARA SF.

Stripped of rank coming here, only 10 % get to wear the maroon beret.

Operating in a 6 man team, I train to specialize in weapons, communications, navigation, demolitions and medical. 

For 90 days, I train in probation equivalent to hell.

I cook rotis on stones, fry eggs too while eat rice on the palm of the hand cooked in a bamboo piece.

Covered in sewage, I have my breakfast .

For 36 hours straight I am pushed to the limit during exercises, obstacle courses and tasks without any sleep.

I carry heavy jerry cans, truck tires and wooden logs with injuries ready to strike and drop me out of this training.

I am made to undertake a 100 km endurance run to check my ability to travel long distance behind enemy lines.

They check to see whether I can become the ghost operative I desire to become, I will for I wish to get that maroon beret and badge- my Badge of honour.

I chose the paratroopers where I get only one chance to earn… the Badge of honour.

The badge of honour forever changes the way we look at ourselves.

*TACDE – Tactics and Air Combat Development Establishment. The Indian version of the American TOPGUN where only the top 1% pilots train.

*MARCOS – Marine Commandos. The commando force of the Indian Navy specializing in anti sea operations sometimes with the Indian Army and/or PARA SF.

PARA SF – Paratroopers Special Forces.

The story behind this- This post makes an effort to put people inside as to what goes on to make a soldier earn his badge. Whether its an NDA cadet, an Airforce pilot or the soldiers who come from their respective army units / volunteer to become commandos in either the NSG, MARCOS or PARA SF. This is one place where the english saying, “ Failure is the stepping stone to success” does not apply because there are no 2nd chances in these special forces training where only the top 1% qualify or 10% pass on who had initially volunteered. Training , where failure faces them every second. The next time someone questions the actions of the forces as to how they did it or why they did it, just remember that it takes a lot for them to be there where they are.

MARCOS are generally found operating in the Gulf of Eden fighting pirates alongwith the PARA SF and / or lending a hand in counter terror ops in Kashmir. NSG proved their mettle during 26/11 while PARA SF made it all possible before in the Uttarkhand rescue ops where they carved out helipads for choppers using just knives and explosives in addition to rescue civilians. MARCOS, PARA SF undertake covert ops about which you`ll never know so respect every man out there..coz you`ll never know what they did for you.

WOW: ‘The Perfect Woman’

I have always been a romantic at heart and contrary to what people say about finding a person who should connect with you emotionally instead of physical beauty, there are few things which every guy wants in his woman. Here is my idea of the perfect woman which I would love to have-

The one who should be my best friend first and next to it a possessive girlfriend by heart so that I feel protected and wanted majority of times. Her radiant smile would put the morning sun to shame, each time, every time, everyday, for the lifetime. She would be my best partner instead of being just my life partner. Her enchanting smile should make sure that I start to miss her the moment she leaves, the eyes would eagerly scan the crowd for that one person- for her. Walking besides me, she should just stop at a place and watch me wander absentmindedly, later on for me to realise that she’s not besides me. When she is with me I should feel the same calm joy as one experiences in light sunlight when its a light drizzle, that kind of joy. When she laughs, it would seem to me as the sound of some trinkets making melodies in the surroundings. I would like to fall in love with her everyday, every living moment because she would be the one who would make it all possible for me. I would like to read her eyes and gauge what is going through her heart when she is utterly quiet and not speaking to me, if there is something bothering her I would want to know because she has to be my pillar of strength and she can’t remain worried if that’s the case. Her kohl should speak of her innocence and yet her mischiefness. It should mirror what is going through her, a bit messed up when she sad and glowing when she’s happy. Should console her terrified eyes when she’s afraid of something. It’s what makes her truly complete in itself compliment would be dangler earrings and she would be a total stunner just like a fairy does with her wings. I would rather be intoxicated by her kohl than a peg of alcohol. Has anyone desired to be riddled by bullets from a firing squad? I would love to be….. by her look from those kohl filled eyes. She would love to let me help drape her saris and apply the eyeliner when she’s getting late for any party. She would always be ready to take the midnight walk with me, any time of the night when I feel like taking one. The one who loves to explore nature on a holiday and takes in the scenery in silence and not saying a word, instead just looking at the beauty of mother nature. 

Always the challenger to challenge me at Counter Strike or any other first person shooter game, the little kid reborn who loves reliving childhood while shooting in Contra or collecting coins and saving the princess in Mario, the 1st one to disturb the whole carrom board when she realises that she is losing and trying all sort of dance moves on a chess board by her queen. The one who would fight with me when she’s angry but would resolve the issue with a pillow fight. Win the pillow fight, emerge the winner. In case the fight continues into the next day, we both must be normal whereas the fight and argument can continue the night again. She can extract whatever she wants out of me on women`s day, her birthday or any other occasion. The perfect experimenter in the kitchen who would love to try out new tastes which I could try to create in the kitchen. The more lenient of the two parents, the perfect mom and wife who would spoil both me and the kids on one hand with new pranks and then also rectify us too, like a school teacher. She must be my personal teddy bear whose hug would absolve me of all worries and tensions. The one who would use my hand instead of a pillow, to sleep , listening to my heartbeat and uses her wet hair to wake me up everyday. When I would fight with her to take rest when she is ill and she will insist on continue working saying that she’s fine and I need not worry, I search for that sort of love in the perfect woman. When growing old, she would rebuke me saying,” You are getting old for this romance stuff, you know that, right?” . Her same kohl filled eyes would ask me the same question, “You still love me like you used to?” And I will reply, “You are my best friend gorgeous, I still love you with the same intensity as before.”

That’s my perfect woman…..

Why you should not get your car serviced at Maruti?

Today I will tell you my ordeal as to why you should not visit any authorised Maruti service centre to get your car fixed in servicing. This happened 3 weeks back when I decided to give my Maruti 800 at Anand Motors, Aliganj, Lucknow. Nothing substantial had to be done, there was no wheel alignment, wheel balancing, it was just a simple service with a few things like this sensor setting on the wiper was not working, the gear stick had become very loose, the backside bulb on the number plate was not lighting properly. We gave the car at around 9 AM in the morning in the hope that we’ll get it back by 12 pm - 1 pm at the very most. The trouble started after that. 

During the test run, the engineer took around in the car without me or my father in the passenger side to know what was the issue with the car. At around 12 pm we got an SMS from the Service Associate Mr Shakti that car was almost ready. Then we called up, he said that it would take another 45 minutes to do the job. We reached the service centre after 3 pm to pick up the car thinking that it was all done. We reached there to find that the work was still going on, some part of the gear was not available with the service centre so they had spent a man to procure the same from Chinhat (a place quite far away). We were told that we would receive a call when it would be all done. We finally received a call at around 6:45 pm and when we reached the service centre around 7, we saw that our car was still in the washing bay area. Nevertheless we went to the reception and enquired about the car. We were told that the work was still going on. We checked the washing area where a few mechanics were wiping the car. My father tried the car for possible rectifications that needed to be done and found out that the wiper issue hadn’t been touched and neither was the backlight working properly. I confronted the SA as to why a simple servicing had taken 10 – 11 hours and was still continuing? He was dumbfounded and started making excuses that due to the fact that it was Sunday it was a very heavy rush and they couldn’t deliver the cars on time, I was like, “You are the centre, you should know the capacity of servicing and hand over the cars accordingly”. Why waste the time of the customers and even then the car hadn’t been done .

Angry at such pathetic, 3rd class service my father told Mr. Shakti to leave the problem as it was and just hand over the car to us. To hell with such a servicing. The guys made a bill of Rs. 3800 and the payment was hard cash as their so called card machine was not working. SA keept saying that he’ll get somebody to work on the issues but we were in no mood to listen after having wasted so much time in the day . I had warned the people that I’ll complain about the servicing to the higher authorities and he didn’t take that seriously. Back, I wrote a mail to head office, regional office about the experience. Just to save the job a customer care executive from the same service centre, Ms Komal and an engineer Mr Govind reached my home enquiring about the issue the next day and this visit was purely to save their asses from being fired. Visibility pissed off, my father heard them for two hours and then gave an undertaking that he was satisfied with a home visit (not the service by any means). Two days later I got a reply from that TSM saying that a thorough investigation had been done and it was all a negligence on the part of the service centre and Mr. Shakti had been fired from the job. I had told him that I don’t want any further calls or home visit from the service centre executives in the future  otherwise they’ll have it in a very good way. Two days later, an issue started developing when we took the car for a long drive . The car started jerking in the second gear itself, I immediately called up the TSM but as his phone went unanswered I called up the RSM and told him the whole matter from start to end and the issue we were facing then. He had assured us that it would be taken care of.

The next day there was a call from Mr Govind again which we missed. I had complained to Maruti on Twitter about the issue and they had called me up, noted down the complaint and I got a call from the TSM again in this regard. My father was not ready to talk to anybody from Maruti after such a horrific experience. The TSM was giving me an option that he would attach Mr Govind with us and we could get the car checked again at any other service centre of our choice in Lucknow. Spare me, we don’t have such time that we would roam around with our car leaving all the necessary household work behind. When I told him that after such a third-grade experience we are not in the mood for any Maruti service and the newfound issue is serious. He said that he had checked the job sheet of the car and he had found that there was a remark in regards to the carburettor. That got me thinking that inspite it of being in remarks in the servicing, why weren’t they checked at the service centre itself. Its simply a case of negligence, shirking of duty, wasting the time and money of the customer, giving a pathetic service and after service, wasting more time again and then thinking of getting away by either saying sorry for doing this and about attaching  service engineers from the service centre and making around of the city for a second opinion.

The car is still giving me trouble but this time I would rather get it checked at any other locality mechanic rather than at any authorised service centre Maruti. We might be incurring a few expenses again but at least that would make sure that no issues with the cars remain.

My advice to all car owners is to be beware when you give your car at any authorised Maruti Centre for servicing, chances are that you would be left of your hard earned money, time but the issues with either remain or the car would be handed over to you in a worst state than before.
