24 Things That You Didn't Know About Dr Amit Makkar

pre script :
often,on our way to success and happiness,we take for granted,the people who stand behind us,supporting us silently...though we respect their care and love from the core of our heart but we fail to appreciate it...to acknowledge it...but these wonderful people don't ask for any kind of acknowledgement...they just stand behind you,motivating you to go on..I don't really believe that words or any actions are needed to show that they mean a lot to you but why take the risk of waking up one day and realising that those important persons are no more a part of your life because they felt their care was no longer needed...
so this is my silly way(what else could you expect..i mean the title of my blog is ROFL) of expressing my heartfelt gratitude for somebody to whom I owe my everything...
expressing emotions publicly is not my cup of tea..so these 24 crazy things...these 24 points (since it's his 24th birthday) are a compilation of what makes my brother and me the craziest siblings ever...because this is the way I like US- total understanding,little arguments,more love and even more care...
the satire and sarcasm is meant solely for entertainment :D

1. 28.4.1992…the day I was born,he had his first day at school…and he chose to go to school and didn't come to meet his little sister !!! it hurt so much that I cried like crazy (not that I could do anything else at that time :P) LKG class ka first day tha,it isn’t that he had his CA exams ! but that is how diligent he is about his work !

2.He was named Ambuj but I don’t know why it was later changed to Amit ! our maternal relatives still call him ambuj and it sounds so classy ! and it’s so apt for the kind of bond that I share with him- ye deewaar toot'ti kyu nahi...tootegi kaise...viraat compressive strength wale AMBUJa cement se jo bani hai :D

3.He is doing his specialization in pedodontics…that is child specialist…so befitting as he is great with kids ! he has been acclimatized to enduring a obstinate,pampered,garrulous and non-sensical kid (read surbhi makkar ) since ages :D in his own words,”4years k patients aate hain mere pas and shaanti se injection lgwaate hain but surbhi k aage injection ka naam lo sahi and it’s pandemonium ! “  he says to me when I go into my  main-nhi-lgwa-rahi-injection panic attack,that divert your mind,stop thinking about the needle ! how can anybody think about anything else when that shiny pointed bestial thing is going into the vein ?! he's insane ! doctor kisne bana diya pta nahi ! :P

4. He has always been swarmed by girls !!! As a kid,i always got confused between the SHAs of his class- isha,nisha,alisha,anisha,nimisha etc ! in college,he had 32 girls in his class vis-a-vis 8 boys and in his post-grad,he is the only guy in the whole department ! (if ever my iitian friends get to know of these statistics,they would die of shock/jealousy :D)

5.I love to irritate him :D it’s my fav hobby ! these epic lines that he finally utters when it gets past endurance,totally make my day - “surbhi ko smjhaa lo”
“drama krwa lo bas”
“ek kaam kaho sahi,100 toh sawaal puchti hai jinme se ek bhi kaam ka nhi hota” (this is my personal fav :D)

6.As a kid,he endured my cheating tactics in all the games that we played…cricket, badminton, carrom, ludo anything ! that was because I always made the rules to suit my convenience – jab tak 3 bar out nahi hoti,main out nahi maani jaungi,no run out or one-tip catch allowed in my case :P and if I got out( within the limits of my rules,that is),I always used to come up with “main ready nahi thi,this is not fair” :D and when everything else failed and I still was on verge of losing the game,I used to shake the board(ludo/carrom) and ruin the game :D but he was so sweet (he still is!) that he only laughed it off !

7.He is a superb dancer ! no party is complete without his Punjabi dance :D
 
  

8.He loves to watch television ! that may be due to the fact that he doesn’t have a tv in his hostel.so when he comes home,he gets glued to the tv screen ! and I am made to watch silly things such as news (aajtak for god’s sake !!!) and ridiculous hindi movies whose names I haven’t heard in my lifetime ! and CID toh aise dekhta hai jaise ye ho gaye ACP pradyuman and hum ho gaye criminal jo agar na dekhne de tv toh hame toh *acp’s signature hand movement*phaansi hogi,phaansi !!! :P

9.He is an amazing cook ! so when he comes home from hostel,it’s party time for me ! :D I get to eat noodles,cake,pasta,pizza and stuff  that is cooked by him ! :D kitchen,in my case,is a territory I rarely venture into :P

10.He has this silly habit of bigaadofying all the songs !!! kabhi kabhi aditi becomes kabhi kabhi surbhi…Saturday Saturday becomes Sunday Sunday :D so lame !

11.His modus operandi – look for things that he needs…nhi milegi (I swear he got buttons instead of those eyes ! even if the thing is kept right under his nose,he doesn't see it !) then, “surbhiiiii !!!”  when I help him find whatever he’s looking for,I ask him twice to keep it back at its right place…obviously he doesn’t…then again,”surbhiiiiiii !!!” (surbhi na ho gyi google ho gyi !)

12.His knack of losing things is simply bizarre…wallet,mobile,imp papers…you name it and chances are that he’s lost it at one time or the other ! :P let me illustrate…he keeps his mobile on top of the car while locking it(who on earth does that?!),locks the car,goes to a restaurant and has a delectable dinner,comes back and laughs like a hyena to see a phone kept on top of the car and exclaims that kitne budhu hote hain log ptani kahan kahan phn rakh dete hain,till he realizes that it’s his own phone :D (courtesy akhil gupta)

13.My habit of fussing over every little thing is matched only by his perfect insouciance :P whenever he has to go somewhere,I go berserk (“charger daala hai k nhi…belt..brush..socks” basically everything under the sun) but he still manages to forget something or the other ! deo/keys if it’s a normal day and his admit card if he has an exam !!! (respect,dr amit makkar.)

14.He never compromises with three things in his life ! health,work and looks ! he makes sure he is always well groomed and presentable(unlike me,who was fascinated by the object called mirror only when I was studying about the laws of reflection in physics :P) he has the best collection of deo that I have ever seen :D  perhaps this explains point 4 :P

15.He is not one of those doctors who would be buried in the books 24x7…he keeps up with the trends ! that’s a pic from his fresher’s day,he is the one in the blue t shirt…do not miss his baggy cargo jeans(those were in fashion that time) the stud in his ear and the spikes that he’s sporting for the occasion !



16.Since he’s trendy, he makes sure I don’t lag behind…70% of my wardrobe comprises of things gifted by him,with or without any reason :P

17.Whenever he goes for shopping to buy stuff for ME,he comes out with at least one t-shirt of his own …only after I make him see sense that it was supposed to be MY shopping,does he reject the other two t-shirts that he had liked (okay this may be going over the board but he does that often! He starts selecting his own stuff even if it’s my bday shopping!!! )

18.I really really envy his sleep ! while I keep tossing and turning in bed for hours,he falls asleep in a jiffy ! when I am excited/tense/sad/happy,no matter what the state of my mind,it takes me minimum 1hour to calm my intractable mind while he enjoys his dreamless sleep !

19.He never ever switches off the lights! Kabhi bhul kar galti se bhi charger/lights/fans off nahi karta ! so if earth runs out of electricity someday,you know who to blame :P

20.He is diurnal while I am nocturnal..i have failed to understand to this day how can he manage to sleep so peacefully at night when he has half his syllabus left for the exam scheduled next day! Even if I try to sleep at night,I have dreams that make me sick and I get out of bed and start revising  (I call this the Hermione-syndrome) :p

21.He has always instilled a positive sense of competition in me…i was able to do things that I thought I would not be able to when I saw him accomplishing them…that’s how I learnt dance and computer languages…

22.He is my calmness tonic…his sangfroid is something I have always been in awe with…like water puts off fire,the rage and jitters of a taurean have always been controlled by this composed aquarian…his presence alone takes away half my worries…I don’t know how he manages it but he has a way of handling my crappy mood swings…only a few people possess this talent :P

23.He is a very loving person..and this is an understatement…as an elder brother,he is so caring that words would not suffice if I tried putting it into words…I am the aggressive one,always sulking while he never gets tired of cheering me up…as a kid,I even used to hit him(though it hardly hurt him and I was seen with a crepe bandage for the next few days:P) but time/situations/circumstances  have taught me to keep my anger under control so I try to be a good girl now :D

24.There is this silly memory ..which nobody but he and I can understand :P i watched jaane tu ya jaane na with him…and the last scene (when imran calls after genelia- meow meow-that was her nickname in the movie,to stop her) had made us both laugh like crazy…and I don’t know why I really liked the sound of the word- meow :P when I am in no mood to ans him,I say meow :P something like this-

i. bhai :SomethingOfUrgentImportance
  surbhi: meow
ii.bhai : SomethingThatRequiresMyAttention
 surbhi : meow
finally,(this is the best part,his expression)he says,meow meow krti rahiyo !!!:P



I would like to end  with a song from the same movie (jaane tu ya jaane na) cuz it kinds of sums it all up-
 main bolun kitna saara,tu bole zara zara
 main bolun din hai toh,tu bole raat nahi
 main sochun tu hi tu,mera koi aur nahi
 tu soche main hu tera,bas tera koi aur nahi
 koi aur ho ya na ho,tu hai main hu,bas
 jaane tu…jaane tu ya jaane na
 maane tu….maane tu ya maane na !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,bhai :) you rock :D
you are awesome.period.
thank you for tolerating me all these years..do so for a lot many years because that's your punishment for not coming to meet me on my first day on this earth :D

p.s. 

A. though all of this was my idea,it would not have been possible without kanika's help who scanned the pics for me.

B. manan and agamya have a role too..because when i see them fighting as well as caring for each other,i am reminded of the two of us...esp when manan says to his parents "ye itni shaitaan si agamya hi mili thi apko!" :P
