Sudesh Lehri - A True Entertainer

-
A comedian should always be a sport. Making fun of someone else is easy, but one who can make fun of himself to make others laugh is a true comedian.

I have always been a big fan of Sudesh Lehri, since he was in Laughter Challenge. When I heard him for the first time in Laughter Challenge, he said while standup that his sister-in-law praised him that when she listens to his standup comedy, she feels she is listening to a spiritual preaching (satsung). It was a literally an ROFL for me.




I loved him in Comedy Circus even more. He did everything he can for the sake of entertainment.


He created a fake character of his characterless wife Billo. He took slaps from a 15-years younger partner Krushna. Even he promoted his partner Krushna over himself when he felt Krushna's dialogue delivery is better than him. For promoting others he even degraded himself by getting called Sudya. Many times I pitied even him for that. And I hate Krushna and the writers for that.



Sudesh Lehri openly agreed his rival Kapil Sharma is a better comedian than him, though as a part of an act or maybe even behind the scenes. Actually by all kinds of numbers that is true. Be it the number of fans, bank balance, projects in the queue, public demand, etc. But I hate Kapil for many reasons.



Sudesh Lehri made fun of himself for not knowing English. In one act where he was portraying Sohail Khan, when everyone was laughing at some joke he said and he wanted everyone to listen to his next line, he said to the audience, "Listen Listen Listen". But one girl continued to talk, he said, "Hey you lisni", as if "lisni" is the female version of "listen". I died of laughter due to that.


The humble nature of Sudesh makes me like him the most. I don't know how innocent he is in real life but he looks so innocent onscreen. That's why he was once called Bholi Soorat Ajuba Sudesh.




That humble nature and also his jovial nature have helped him grab the roles he got in Bollywood in films like Ready, Jai Ho and Great Grand Masti. Other comedians are only seen making fun of others, but Sudesh Lehri is seen making fun of himself most of the time. Apart from being a comedian, he was a very good singer, musician and mimic too.






I always think Sudesh Lehri never got the recognition and adulation that he deserves. All other comedians and the peers, who worked with him, did. His performance, sincerity and hard work always get overshadowed and overlooked. Sometimes Krushna and sometimes writers took all the appreciations.

Caterpillar Uneaten Leaves Problem – HackerEarth Interview Question

-
QUESTION DESCRIPTION K caterpillars are eating their way through N leaves. Each caterpillar falls from leaf to leaf in a unique sequence. All caterpillars start at a twig in position 0 and fall onto the leaves at positions between 1 and N. Each caterpillar i has an associated ‘jump-number’ j. A caterpillar with jump number j eats leaves at positions that are multiples of j. It will proceed in the order j, 2j, 3j, … till it reaches the end of the leaves, then it stops and builds its cocoon. Given a set A of K elements, K ≤ 15, N ≤ 10^9, N >> K, we need to determine the number of uneaten leaves. Input Format: N = number of leaves K = number of caterpillars A = Array of integer jump numbers (one per line). Output Format: An integer denoting the number of uneaten leaves. Sample Input: 10 3 2 4 5 Sample Output: 4 Explanation [2,4,5] is the 3-member set of jump numbers. All leaves which are multiples of 2, 4, and 5 are eaten. Leaves 1,3,7,9 are left, and so th...

Premise             My housemates and I shut off the house lights and household appliances from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on March 27 to participate in the annual Earth Hour event. We (Murli, Satish and I) went to our terraces. Murli and Satish are school friends. So they told me about their school days fun.             In their school, the girls had separate 2 rows on one side and boys had separate 3 rows on other. But Murli always used to be near or in girls row. He used to eat their Tiffin’s. There was a villainous boy in the school, who used to hate Satish. The boy was fat and was nicknamed Motu. Though he did not had much problem with Murli, but some way I remembered the guy as villain in Murli’s school who hated him too. Dream             In the dream, Murli and I were in same school. He, I and 2 hotties (...

The Undertaker - A True Legend

I am one of the lucky ones who can proudly say I grew up watching the Undertaker situp, every time he is down on the mat, since 1995, the first time WWF was telecasted in India. I was hardly 8 years old when I first saw him on black and white television. I don't know how I remember it but I guess I remember it because the Undertaker's situp and gaining power from the urn was not something we regularly see on television. It was supernatural. I remember watching the highlights of his casket match with Yokozuna, where the Undertaker fought with almost every heal on the roster. I remember his match with the imposter Undertaker, who later played the Undertaker in a Bollywood movie Khiladiyon ka Khiladi; and like most Indians, even I thought he was the real one for more than 7 years. I remember few of his deadly matches with Mankind, even the one where he threw Mankind from the top of the cell twice. I remember the debut of Kane, and we kids decla...
