Neverending like the issues in our lives.The blog revolves around discussing simple everyday issues.The only expectation from the reader is that it should trigger a thought in your mind. Originally thought to be titled under the expression Ja-Saala -the meaninig of which is explained below.

When the lightening misses you and strikes the tree behind ….you can hear

Ja saala !

Ja Saala ! is an expression which has been a part of our lives ever since we were born.Chances are it might even be our last few words…

Some of the other international variants are –

What the heck !
WTF !
What the hell !
O My my !
Oh Dear!
O derrière me ! [ err uh maybe not this one]

The Local variants are –

Ja baba [ ~ a close cousin]
Aila !
Ai Ai iyo
Oh Teri !
Ubbay Teri !
Dhat Tere Ki !

Different people say it different ways but the meaning never changes, the expression is priceless.The sense of satisfaction is unbelievable.

You’ve got to say it to believe it.!

Here are some situations you can find this most applicable –

You just got sacked ~ snap Ja saala! [short and hard]
You got dumped ~ shock Ja saala ! [ stammer wide eyed]
You got lost ~ mutter Ja saala ! [ trail off]

and there are more, but I am sure you get the drift…but let me tell you this is not about sadness or loss all the time – it is also about happiness and fun.Here are some examples which you can expect Ja saala to come up trumps –

You got promoted out of turn ~ quietly say Ja saala !
You just got the best gal in town ~ ecstatically exclaim Ja saala !
Your Boss just got fired ~ wicked smile,raise eyebrows and say Ja saala!

so you see friends, this is a part of everyday life. We are just not about fun at workplace or life we also beileve in giving back to the society.

This initiative is to raise awareness of Ja Saala moments around the world.

Like Earth hour we are also observing Ja Saala times dedicating one hour everyday thinking of the Ja Saala moments that went by, and anticipating the ones yet to come.

So what if the lightening hit tree behind you,and then the tree fell on you…you can say …Ja Saala.. !
