Page 380. Ramu is there in Mumbai JUST NOW ? MNIK is running in the theatre. Artist bhaiya, how will you show the story of tomorrow and day after. Oh yeah, i know, you'll upload one page at a time. So we readers are now moving abreast of the story. What a strange feeling. My date is the same as Ramu's date!!
Page 379. Sorry, Ramu. Even before i saw this page i knew you must be going to the gym or for a run. You hadn't changed your tee shirt from the night, you see. But by then i had already locked my comment and then i saw this page....:-) Good boy.
Page 362. Ramu is looking so cute after his bath that he brings a smile to my face. In the early days, my Master never asked, but desired me to bathe at least twice a day, even in winter, and i would. With every shower i would visualize all the pores of the body opening up, ready to absorb any word that He uttered. It was an amazing experience, the sheer vitality the bath brought and the aliveness of all the cells of my body!!
Page 360. What will Sher Khan say to Ramu, i wonder? - the simplest thing, which a man whose head is clouded by miserable clouds can't see. Sher Khan will simply say "Go tell her you love her. Take the 'bull' by the horns. And then respond to what comes." If only i could learn that reaction is different from response, misery would vanish. Reaction comes from memory/conditionngs and response from wisdom of that moment.
That was too premature of me to say that to Ramu. I take it back...
Just hang in there buddy!
Today's code 3TRR - cant fathom what it means.
any suggestions? :D
3TRR = In this Triangle of 3, i'm doubly sure Ramu will win. Today's Code D4EZ = That's easy. But not all codes are supposed to have a meaning. They are just random. We create stories out of them where none exist. Only sometimes they suddenly seem to fit just right - at that time its not mine, but the BT hand :-)) Another illusion. We credit BT with too many nonsensical things as if He has nothing better to do than create first the story then the code appropriate to our nonsense thinking :-))
Joyce says:
Come on Ramu! Do not get depressed. She was only hugging somebody!!! Not kissing him. God knows why she was hugging him? Right? It could have been anything. You know Bubbli does not have anybody else in Mumbai. Come on man! Be a little more understanding. What is the use of Ferrai, if you cannot be a little more open minded and world wise? I understand your love and your ache, but now I am getting fed up. I demand that you get back on your feet and get going!!!!!!!
Page 354. BT, this story is finish, finishing, finished....only 1 page upload now. Please hurry up and write the rest of it otherwise the artist will go on and on with Ramu moaning and groaning for page upon page.....Ramu will forever go on like this unless you quicky write what he should do next.
These codes are absolute real fun. Thank you, BT. When i suddenly see a 'good'one just when i need you to intervene in my understanding of the story, i feel 'touched' by your presence.
nirja says:
Page 353. Ramu, my friend, i feel your pain. Hold my hand, if it comforts you while you enter your pain deeply. Cry. Cry out loudly, noisily. Don't stiffle your tears. Suddenly you will see how sorrow is another name for attachment. Love is a bondage but only sorrow in love can lead you to this understanding. When you drop the chains with which you tie your love, you will love, more deeply than ever before but it will not feel the same way because now there will be no attachments, conditions and no sorrow. Then you are free. Your Master will show you the path to freedom. Walk it with courage because this path has much pain. If you shy away, you will remain an idiot. Like me. {The code now is BTED = BT will educate . He is the Master you and i are looking towards :-) }
Page 353. Ramu thinks he has lost Bubbli. We also often think this and that and draw conclusions about people and events. Sometimes it is not practical or possible to ask. Our heart also gives confusing signals because the state of our consciousness is clouded. Therefore, we, as we are at this moment, cannot rely either on the mind or heart for clarity of sight/hearing/understanding. However, there is a way to just simply 'know' it. How exactly this is done i want to learn if it is learnable. Teach us, BT. Actually you have, by teaching us kriyas but we don't do them. Help us overcome our difficulties with kriyas so that we do them and thereby see/hear/understand/know the truth. Then all sorrows will disappear.
Page 352. Joyce, you were right. With this page i realize Ramu's anguish and empathize with him. But i can't forget this story has been written by BT. If BT can't teach us not be become our emotions and thoughts, not to allow them to master us, then who will? Don't you see, the source of Ramu's sorrow is : i love Bubbli, she doesn't love me/she is not mine // without the other (bubbli) i am incomplete.
@ Joyce. Ramu is from Chandigarh, i just remembered. I read these stories daily and they mentioned this fact many moons ago. Chandigarh is NOT small town. Its mini delhi and a great fashion and higher education centre.
@ MN. I wanted to 'reply' to Joyce but click the 'reply' tab and the tab 'replAy comment' appears. Mis-spelt. I had no patience for it. Its not your fault but i'm wondering what makes nirja angry, irritable and impatient today.
Ramu is simple? i don't agree with this definition of simplicity - simple and innocent are very young children who do not have much of a memory bank and whose conditionings have not as yet set in. Ramu is a coward. It takes courage to break free of whatever has been fed to you - kissing is bad etc etc i'm too bored, tired, sleepy and not inclined to give a monologue on this subject at this moment. No young child would have presumed that Bubbli is doing something wrong (?). The child would 'simply' and 'innocently' have gone up to Bubbli and hugged her saying i love you so much i've come to mumbai just for you. THAT is simple not creating your agonies with your stuuupid presumptions. We onlookers know that Bubbli and Ramu love each other. Why not tell each other and get lost. Great - my code for this comment is 3knw (=3 people know - us, Bubbli and Ramu about their love except the 2 that matter. HaHaa Something to smile about after this irritating page 351. I too cry like this when love overpowers me. I'm irritated with myself too. We humans are unnecessarily tooo emotional. Not required.)
Come on Nirja. Ramu is a small town boy. Remember he would not even kiss her when they took off on that trip. he is still simple that way.
I am all with him on this. His love is innocent and pure...
Page 350. What's the point, stupid Ramu, in varooming like that. What's wrong with the word 'communication'. Just because she's hugging a guy, what did you think, stupid...? There are so many things one expresses with a hug or kiss. That doesn't make her 'sleeping' with this guy. Talk to her at least and stop losing all the precious moments when you could be loving and living together. Suppose next moment you are dead? Stupid man. BT has said once, i think, that Ramu and Bubbli will meet but when - his pen alone knows. So much of torture and anguish we all like to live thru when it was so simple to say 'i love you', i love you irrespective of what you give me, do for me and even if you don't return my love. Why so much anger, Ramu? My kids will freak out at my using my favourite word so often - stuuupid.
Oh my God! Who is that she is hugging? Is it Rishi?!!!!!! What is this new twist Bharat? What is happening here? I thought Ramu and Bubbli were soul-mates? together forever and all that?
what is happening here?
poor ramu!!!! after all that build up... this is what happens?
Page 348. HaHaaaa. Relax Ramu. 'Experience' is always good for any job to be well done. ;-) Bubbli loves you. Truly. This ...well, just a liitle amusement, nothing more, while she waits for you...
Page 346. Ramu has always known Bubbli wanted to be a movie actor. When he finally meets her, will he accept her semi-nude posters and hot scenes in the movie and the fact that she will have these men touch her everywhere with the excuse that the scene demands it. What bothers me is whether Bubbli herself will like to be close to some of the actors who are quite yuck and probably have bad breath too... Will Ramu really and truly not be upset when male actors run their hot hands down his beloved's body? Will Ramu be able to drop his conditionings about 'my woman' or will he now ask Bubbli to give up her movies because he is rich. What will BT's pen do? Let me guess - BT's pen will now make Ramu ask Bubbli to stop working because the man is rich. Let's see... :-)
i am so excited! what is going to happen now? will ramu meet bubbli? will they get together? but then what about bubbli's movie career? and where is rishi in the picture?!!!!!!!
aaaahhhh I cant wait for tmmr!!!!
My God! What a story! I cannot stop reading it! Sat up the whole night reading from beginning to end. And I am enjoying reading the comments as well.
Am hooked now... Thank you Bharat Thakur!
Page 296. Guruji? Is this an Artistic Yoga class? Doesn't Ashrei know that this story has been written by Guruji Himself, and if its Ramu in Bubbli's life so will it be, and not him, Ashrei.:-))
Page 295. I like this page :-)) i agree totally - some of my wrinkles actually disappear with yoga. And all asanas where the head hangs lower than the heart are excellent for glow on the face, i've noticed. The lying down 'sleeping' posture (i forget the name) is like a good nap for me, even though i'm not sleeping, really. IN 5 minutes i get up so un-tired and fresh as if i've rested for 8 hours. Its like heaven after a full working day. The true yoga guys will know better. I'm just a novice.
Page 288. What will Ramu do when he loses his money because the god/writer/ Master who makes you win something in one day can make you lose it another day...
Page 277-279. I didn't promise not to comment. :-) Bubbli has started looking beautiful, innocent, vulnerable and her dress sense has improved from the lousy dresses she wore as a college girl to today - an aspiring actress. How come? Going by her past dressing style, she should have been wearing - well, nothing now!! So it IS possible to look attractive, if your job requires it, without wearing your underwear in public !!
Page 275. This page made me smile. But it also makes me wonder - in the spiritual field, today, can any disciple sitting in the air conditioned confines of his home, become as good as his Master, who may done ardous Tapasya in barren mountains? If yes, isin't it unfair. If no, then why do we all strive for this. Why bother if its impossible to reach the perfect state of the Master. Is anybody there to answer or do i, khali-peeli, just keep yakking....... Tired of talking.
Page 270. Such wasted moments...when life could be beautiful in the togetherness...tomorrow will the right time to love....to live...alas, tomorrow is an illusion. Tell Bubbli you love her, you idiot. Ramu, read BT's story The Bleeding Paint. You may decide to live your today after reading it. And stop watching nonsensical dramabaz Bollywood AND Tamil AND Telugu movies. Several sexy scenes, one with wet sari, two tearful scenes, one as a dutiful son, one as such a caring lover that till the end the heroine keeps crying....Stupid story. Make one of them keep a pet. Pets are more interesting than idiot humans, creating misery for themselves when they needn't. What is the Take Home Message??
Page 266. Why does Ramu want to be richer than Bubbli? If one partner is earning good money, why can't the other simply enjoy it all? Ramu can be a house husband and bring up the children when they come. What's wrong with that?
Pages 265-6. 1) Teach us also about trading, maybe in a different blog. It goes above my head. 2) If i remember right, part of the Mridul interraction appeared earlier in the story and it ended at saying something like small stocks do not yield big money. This is opposite of these pages. What is correct? Check this please, MN. I refuse to go back page by page to locate where this appeared but it did. 3) May i take the liberty to go back to The Casting Couch, Mahesh? The dialogue with you made me realize, as i said earlier, that our body preservation and sex conditionings are too strong and the cause of lots of violence in the world. What i allow to happen to my body is my choice - use it or not and all others have to respect my choice. And in case someone else wishes to use her/his own body e.g. on the casting couch why should i condemn her/him? Its their choice. How can i decide what is right or wrong for another person. I saw this because of you, Mahesh and BT. Th u. 4) That Bubbli will succeed is absolutely sure. BT doesn't have any 'losers' in his stories, at least the main characters. I wish he would make Bubbli a loser though. We, all his readers, would learn so much from what BT has to say and how he manages a loser Bubbli.
and Nirja...if women know men very well i think the feeling is mutual...i just want to say one thing...it does not always end in a casting couch...i dont think all directors are doing such a thing...i agree there are a few...and i also will say u cannot clap with one hand.....anyways...enjoy the story...getting good...
the story is getting really good...and i like this bubli....she is the kind of woman which ever girl must change into....stardom is tough....to attain...some people take the regular route...some take the tough one...she has choosen the tough one...so if it is not agasti then it is some one else...if she is persistant and does not loose her self she is going to make it...and even if she does not make it atleast she tried...
one suggestion...to the mayanagar team...keep both stories in tandom...it is more interesting this way....keep it going guys...great work...
