Kiss-By-DaSa

“Do not predict anything from the title of the blog”. Always title will say something and the actual content will speak something else still both will have some unrelated relationship. Got-something? Confused? Bored? Want to know more? Keep scrolling like an unborn child…

Let’s take my own example my name PRASHANTH meaning Calm but i believe and encourage in sound pollution. That is not my problem.


Let’s take one example. Yesterday I was watching Akshay Kumar starrer ‘BLUE’ movie, and one of my female colleague messaged me asking “Hi dude, what are you doing?” and without thinking much I replied “hay, I am watching BLUE film. It’s interesting. Everything shot under the sea”. oops.................I don’t know how some one should take my SMS. Sounds ODD isn’t it? Again it is not my mistake; it is problem with the production unit of the movie as they have rights reserved for the title of the movie.

The title problem is not only with the movie, problem also exist in small screen . During old good days, there use to be a TV serial called SHANTHI and story is about a struggling female in a male dominated society. As she was the main character of the serial, director kept the name of the serial as her character name SHANTHI (this was told by director during the start of the serial). After few months the whole story will divert from her and will focus towards her brother-in-law THAKOR VEER PRATHAP. This is because of director’s misadventure. After 6 months when one journalist asked about the same then director changed the plate and released his latest comments saying “SHANTHI means PEACE and it's not just a story of a struggling female, it is about PEACE in life”. Well done director sir !!!  he is the director and he can defend himself in anyway as he likes.

My grandfather use to tell me that if we have doubt then we need to ask the person who knows about it. Few weeks before SONY TV use to flash one advertisement  “COMING SOON - DPL”…… “COMING SOON - DPL”. Well I am one of the biggest fan of IPL, thought about one more T20 cricket series. I was curious to know about that DPL and one day I asked my colleague who is from Delhi ignoring my grandfather’s word and suddenly he replied with all happiness in the world saying “ARE YAAR WHO THO DELHI PREMIER LEAGE like IPL” and I believed him but after few days, I realized that my grandfather's words are correct as I came to know that it was DANCE PREMIER LEAGUE and it’s a dance reality show not T20 cricket show.

10 years before I was watching a daily serial in a TV channel and suddenly below the screen, I use to see a warning message  “END OF THE WORD 2000, IT IS TRUE” – WATCH AT 10.30PM. Even I was curious as other normal human beings and saw that special documentary on the same night . Recently 10 days before I saw the similar message by editing the year  “END OF THE WORD 2012, IT IS TRUE” – WATCH AT 10.30PM. I am still alive and saw both the documentary. But except some amazing graphics stolen from Hollywood movie, I didn’t see any connection with the title. I am sure that after 5 years, there will be one nicer graphical documentary about “END OF 2019”

This title problem is not restricted to only small and big screens. It is also reflecting in our human screens. It was few years back, when i started to work, i used to stay in a rented house and my land lord of that house use to irritate me and always try to fry my head. But I knew that it was not his problem because 53 years back his father was aware about his character when he was born and kept his name as HUCCHAPPA means FATHER OF MAD. Again I and my land lord are helpless about his meaningful name.

Not only movie title, even in real life some names of human beings are controversial too. When I was doing my graduation, me and my roomy are trying to kill the time as it was weekend and we didn’t have anything to do. Suddenly our focus turned into two kids who were playing outside(one is 7 years and another one is 5years) infront of our house and my friend wants to have chat with them and he called them. As an introduction my friend asked their names and we were shocked!!!!. Yes we were shocked ! The elder one said his name is ANIREEKSHITHA and his brother name is NEERIKSHITHA. In English ANIREEKSHITHA means UNEXCPECTED and NEERIKSHITHA means EXCEPECTED. What does it mean? Several questions started to jump in our mind as we are at the verge 20’s. Again it is not our mistake and I also we hope it is not those kids mistake.

When I was writing above stuffs, suddenly my colleague named DASA GUPTA kissed his resume as he got good offer from some other company and I thought this irrelevant title ‘Kiss-by-Dasa’ will suit my relevant blog...........

At the end ‘Kiss-by-Dasa’ doesn't mean that the content is about Dasa's kissing.....!!!!

Instead of cancelling, he thought of selling it on the same day because if he cancels then he will loose some percentage of his initial investment. *********************************************


Scene 6: at 1.45AM, Volvo bus came. Pritham entered the bus and his cousin left teh bus stand as his responsibility is over as he came to drop him to bus stand.

Scene 8: Thamanna, who came with his uncle and trying her luck for the bus ticket as she didn’t book her ticket in advance and she was enquiring about the same with Volvo bus conductor(who was wearing doctors dress code) but the conductor is fed up with saying ‘No’ to most of the passenger as the whole bus is already booked except driver seat.
Suddenly Pritham says he has one extra ticket.


*************************************************** Flashback 2: Thamanna is a well educated and an employee of a recognized recession attacked IT industry. Her native place is same as Pritham’s and that’s the reason she is willing to travel in the same bus. She stays with her uncle at Bangalore.

Scene 9: Pritham tells the conductor about one extra ticket that he has and he want to sell that and Thamanna is ready to buy that as they were desperately looking for a BUS ticket.

Scene 10: Pritham looks at Thamanna and Thamanna looks at Pritham’s ticket. As usual Pritham thought that she is familiar to him but Thamanna didn’t worry to look at him as she is in hurry to enter the bus but anyway they need to travel together for whole night in the VOLVO darkness. Suddenly Pritham phone starts to ring which diverted him from Thamanna as the call is from his wife and he should pick the call (its mandatory)

Scene 11: At 2AM, Driver started the bus to activate the AC but he did not bother to move ahead.

Scene 12: Thamanna is already seated next to Pritham seat and Pritham enter the bus and took the window seat.

Scene 13: Silent everywhere and driver took the help of acceleration to move the bus from the bus stand. At last BUS left the bus stand.

Scene 14: at 2.05AM, Pritham says ‘hi’ to Thamanna and driver will switch off all the lights (which is not a good sign) and Pritham is not able to see her response.

Scene 15: Everyone in the bus started to sleep at their respective seats as all of them tired of waiting for the bus at the bus stand

Scene 16: After an hour, suddenly Pritham wakes up because of the nature call. Yes….. he feels like passing urine immediately… as he drunk 2 bottles of beer which makes him to do so. He thought of controlling himself but at last it’s a natural nature call and he doesn’t have control over that. He moves towards the conductor to ask him to stop the bus but conductor is also in a deep sleep and he failed to wake him up. He goes to driver and request him to stop the bus in-between the highway but driver don’t want to stop the bus as he is already out of time(as the bus left the starting point very late). Pritham somehow managed to convince him to stop the bus and driver stopped at some place near the highway. Happily Pritham got down the bus to complete his nature call and all the passengers are still sleeping inside the bus.

Scene 16: Suddenly people inside the bus started to shout …..

Scene 17: Still people inside the bus are shouting …..but Pritham is still attending his nature call….

Scene 18: It’s an accident………….

Scene 19: OH my GOD……It’s an accident………….

Scene 20: OH my GOD…OH my goodness …It’s a minor accident ………….


***************Small Flashback: When Pritham went for a nature call, driver stopped the bus in the main highway road but forget to put one of the indicator and suddenly one fully loaded truck hits the bus from behind as the driver of the truck unable to notice the bus which was standing in the highway . Overall its not truck driver or Volvo bus driver mistake but its Pritham's nature call timings mistake. *****************************************


Scene 22: Pritham started to run towards the bus and saw that truck smashed the back of Volvo bus badly from backside. Well .....front side of truck is also damaged badly. Driver and cleaner of the truck injured criticall and passenger who are sitting at the back seat of the bus also got injured with (above minor) injuries. But Volvo BUS is not in good condition to carry the passengers till their end point. One question is raised in all (injured and non injured) passengers mind, that is ‘What to do now ?’

Scene 23: All passengers become panic and came out of the bus and still they are in half sleep. The passengers who are injured started to shout at bus driver and also injured truck driver.

Scene 24: at 3.30AM, Volvo bus driver declared that bus cannot be moved further as its engine is damaged. Driver started to call the BUS depo for other bus arrangements.

Scene 25: at 4AM, all the passenger are standing outside and still some of them are scolding at drivers and some of them at Pritham for stopping the bus. Most of them (luckily including Thamanna) don’t know why driver stopped the bus in the middle of the high way.

Scene 26: Ambulance and police came to the spot and ambulance is occupied with the truck , cleaner and also couple of bus passengers who are sitting back side and got injured. Police registered the FIR and ordered Volvo bus driver to arrange for a alternate bus for the passengers.

Scene 27: at 4.30AM, one RED normal bus came without AC . Even though all the passengers paid for Volvo bus they are asked to enter the RED bus. But most of them (including Pritham) refused to enter the RED .

Scene 28 : Again driver and conductor enquired with the Bangalore Depo and came with one more alternate solution for the people who wants to travel only in VOLVO bus. They gave an option of arranging for a VOLVO bus but that might take another 1 hour and the people who are in hurry and don’t have problem with travelling in a RED bus they still can take the new spare RED bus else they can wait at highway for an hour to travel in alternate VOLVO bus.

Scene 29: Pritham went and took his luggage and said ‘Hi’ to Thamanna again, who is in confused state because of the accident. When he is expecting a reply from her suddenly someone’s luggage fell into his head. He falls at some one's seat and when he get up he saw that Thamanna has already left the VOLVO bus with the luggage to catch the next alternate bus. As still 90% of the journey was left, Pritham thought that he will talk to her once they catch alternate bus

Scene 30: Pritham came down and driver of the VOLVO bus asked him about his preference of the bus as passenger can travel immediately if they choose RED bus else they need to wait for one more hour for alternate VOLVO bus. Pritham said he will wait for alternate VOLVO bus.

Scene 31: Suddenly he started to search for Thamanna but she was not there anywhere. RED bus left the spot with half of the passengers.

Scene 32: RED bus started to move with more acceleration and Pritham saw Thamanna sitting inside the RED bus. Thamanna looked at Pritham with confusion. He can’t stop the bus as he already told ‘NO’ for RED bus. At last he passed one last ‘HI’ to her and again he failed to get her reply as the bus has left the spot completely with more aceleration……………………and Thamanna left the spot accidently because of accident………..

Scene 33 : Pritham looks at the back of the RED bus ..........................
