Lets move on...

Mindful of our highest aspirations, Bound by common faith and purpose, And, yet, beginning with ourselves as we are, Let us take one more step, together, in our unending quest for dignity, justice,love and chokis. Amen. Source: 1997 UUMA Worship Materials Collection

Asterix and the Flying Carpet...gosh hilarious..i meant dogmatix :)

Of plum cakes and @#$@#$ films...

Naah I didn’t have a white Christmas, but I did have a filmy Christmas. I watched a lot of B grade movies. The best part of these movies was the background score. It truly stands out. Inside Man: Must watch this movie again.

Firewall : Forget it. Crank : ewww. Old School: Too Funny.

Black Hawk Down :You must own this DVD.

Hostel: ewwww It seems this horror flick was voted Best horror movie for the year 2006 Reservoir Dogs: Wow with background commentary. You will use the word ***** in all your sentences…atleast for 24 hours. Bhagam Bhag: Yep you’ll want to run away. Got bored and tried playing Eragon ..man o man controlling the Dragon is just amazing. I was asking a friend if he had heard of the film/game/book Eragon and his reply…”Sorry the only thing I know is Paragon” grrrrrrrrrrrrrr Got another classic game called Oblivion: Elder Scrolls IV …will be playing this RPG soon….ofcourse have to go get my xbox 360. I think I’ll bunk appice on Friday. I’m losing weight these days, it must be because of all the nutritious snacks that I eat instead of plain old dinner. Potato Chips, pani puri, plum cake and cookies are so much better than rice and radish sambar. Listen to this……It seems you become more articulate when you fall in love…..yapppppppppa….

Borrowed it from a friend..just too cool.Thanks Amigo.

Really ?

@ the club cabana resort...

Liked the diya.....some hotel in Mysore...

Blood is thicker than water, and much tastier.

My first memory of watching a film on the big screen is Star Wars ( Voooooooom Voooooooom ) at Galaxy and then “ Bermuda Triangle” at Rex. I was too young to remember the details. But the mast time I had watching “ The Gods must be Crazy “ with my cousins was memorable. Yes partly it was because of the hilarious film, but mostly it was because of the pain. We had received our chlorea/malaria shots and it pained like hell. So while watching the film we would hit each other jokingly and aaaaaaaaaaw the pain mixed with the laugher ( wipes a tear). The previous Sunday, I and my bil went to this local film called “ Kabul Express”. Awesome documentary, wonder why its called a film. Arshad Warsi is wasted and so is that American chik. I was really disappointed with the film. Che che how come they show such great “Trailers” but the film is so Yuck?? . I have seen better documentaries on the Discovery channel and NGC. That reminds me I don’t have cable at home grr those damn monkeys..grrr.. and I didn’t even watch a single ball of the just concluded test match. Not one ball. No wonder India won ….yipeee. Sssssssssssh so where was I ? aaaaah Kabul Express is one huge flop buster ( Sajjan, you should watch it with your fiancé , want me to mail the DVD ?? ).

Things I noticed in the film were : No naach gaaana , Nope not even that Kabul Fiza song..No item numbers ..No belly dancers.The duration of the film was like 2 hours. just 2 hours… Sigh*. The full film is shot in the desert and not once do they, I mean the good guys , drink water. Yep they do eat kaababs but you see they come across this huge overturned truck which is filled with pepsi cans and they don’t even take 1 tiny winy sip !!…. And gosh the background music is so gloomy and the shots of the mountains are great for the first 20 minutes ..then you yarn for an apple tree……sand sand everywhere… The jokes are so lame . Can you imagine 2 unknown people quarreling over who was the better allrounder, Imran Khan or Kapil Dev ? gosh !! And the bad guy is named Imran Khan Afridi…..yappppppaa

Wait I think I missed someone in the film ..some dude…naah.. moving on.. I watched this other film “WTC” …….God ..why me…its about 2 people ..well…( wink wink) Have you played Eragon the Game ?? oh you guys don’t even know who Eragon is ..right ( and NO Kirthi I did not misspell DRAGON) Hello does anyone have a remedy for freckles? ( there Dee I have asked the question and haven’t named you..see see me so smart no) Hey let me take this opportunity to wish everyone a merry Christmas…hope you have a blast this Christmas…3 cheers hic hic and ..i think I ate a champagne choki and it was so ..passed out even before the wrapper hit the floor. So can someone send me more choki’s???? pleaseeeeeeeeeeee ..hic hic hurrrrrrrray… Did you people have a chance to read last Sunday’s TOI Times Life ? No ( yipeee) well its like this ..you know that …areh …..( wink) go read it .

Move it baby..

Its been another of those hectic weeks...gosh can't wait for Christmas... 3 days leave..yipeee and to top it..the XBOX might just make it India...

You must watch out for....

Too Fast Too Furious : Tokyo Drift It started with The Fast and the Furious : Awesome movie the cars were wooow and the chase sequences .. breathtaking especially Vin Diesel ROCKS!! Vroooooom Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrom Next it was Too Fast and Too Furious : I remember coaxing my friends to watch this movie at the Plaza theatre. All that Sajjan and Anand can remember is Vroooooooom clutch Vroooooom Clutch Vroooooooom and blur images of color color cars passing at insane speeds… RB was asleep :( and Sri was passing loos comments……Ofcourse they later bought the dvd’s . Part 3 is called Too Fast Too Furious: Tokyo Drift . I was not impressed by the title..Tokyo Drift ?? What do the japs know about driving ?? Then I saw the movie ..and saw that Japanese guy drifting ..and I went wowwwww..let me tell you what Drifting is…drifting refers either to a driving technique, or to a sport based on the technique; this article deals primarily with the sport. When the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, and the front wheels are pointed in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right), and the driver is controlling this, the car is drifting. Got it.. in plain language : the car moves sideways and its useful when you have sharp 90 degree turns . It’s a visual treat for the eyes. Vivah : Awesome Suraj Bharthajiya movie that will test your patience.Its this mushy mushy film in which the heroine has her head bowed at 38 degrees and the hero keeps smiling and the background score..gosh……uhahahhhaaaaaaaaaaha More later now I have to go home and cook dinner ( yeah right !! ) Oh i forgot please do visit Dee's Blog ...she's funny but ofcourse i'm the bestest :)

Just because there's snow on the roof doesn't mean there's no fire in the furnace...

Come down off the ladder.

Wash out that paintbrush.

Shake the sand out of your shoes.

Get up off your muddy knees, and give the garden a morning off.

Fold up the newspaper.

Turn off the coffeepot.

Close up your calendar,

already filled with dates,

and places that claim you.

This post is dedicated to all those people staying away from home, away from Mom’s cooking, away from the traffic and pollution, away from the pungent smelling Niligiri trees …in short far far away and to the blue angel .....wink wink What do you dream about ? I know some people just don’t dream, sigh* neither do I. Well not when I’m sleeping on my bed but I do dream while traveling in the cab, late at night . And its always that recurring dream in which I misplace the house keys..grr.So I gave my neighbour a spare key hehe I am so smart no …but the next day I dreamt that I mislaid the key ( again) and the *@*#$@$ neighbor went on a vacation. I was stranded grr… I must spend more time in my apartment, the other night, the apartment security guard refused to allow me in.. I mean he thought I was an outsider..grrr… Oh did I tell you this one incident in which I forgot to close the kitchen windows ? I came back to see the hall in shambles. The bedspread was on the floor along with the cushions and the other wall hangings. It was the work of my long forgotten relatives the local monkeys.Yeah our apartment is infested with monkeys.I think the young monkeys came in through the open window and as they couldn’t find any food ,they were a bit frustrated. ( Sigh! Aren’t we all !!) . I was not angry at them, it was my fault , I was a bit irresponsible but what irked me was not finding the TV remote. The brats had hidden the @#$@#$ remote under the diwan. Grrr took me 15 minutes to find it. After a hectic and busy 2 months, I decided to bunk office and attend a friend’s wedding.I was unable to attend the reception but Sajjan says it was fun, especially meeting old classmates all of whom are married and are healthy ( put on weight) uahahahaaaaa. At one point of time, it just hit us that we were the only bachelors left …. (gulp) Sajjan and I decided to go to Dhoom2 and we checked the local listings and landed at the Garuda Mall. Sajjan has never been to this mall and the first thing he said was “ Damn its just like a typical Mall in US “ and I waited patiently and then he saw all the people and he said ..”Aaah I take back my words,you don’t get to see all these beautiful people in US” . Well it turns out that all the malls in US are infested with Indians but the main difference is that in India its usually a bunch of girls bunking college and hanging out but in US its Indian couples, holding hands and window shopping. Unfortunately all the tickets were sold out and we had to go to a different theatre. For the love of God it’s a @#$#$ Thursday , a weekday and the mall is filled with people of all types of sizes and shapes…grr Nope I am not writing a review on Dhoom 2. Its just not worth the hoopla, it’s a film where Hrithik doesn’t wear clothes, dances superbly and looks more like a French dude. Ash looks like a Barbie doll and I dare you to show me an ounce of fat on her body.All her dialogues have the word ‘like “ , like are you checking me out…ewwwww. Bipasha is wasted, she’s more like a lamp post. Uday Chopra , well he’s got more dialogues than Abhishek and Arshad Warsi would have rocked this role. AB duh !! he’s like so Unreal ..He didn’t even get a chance to comb his hair and was grossly under utilized. I mean check out the wardrobe of the villain and compare it with ACP Vijay. Overheard : I hate this Abhishek guy , you know why, areh iss umar main bhi apne baap ko kaam karne detha hai… ( eeks) Overheard : Areh are these guys really going after thieves ? They are aptly dressed for a beach party. Hrithik takes off his clothes : Girls Screaming …. Bipasha makes an entrance : Boys whistling , a dude screams “ come to me baby “ gets a pattar from his GF. Overheard : After the film, a cute girl, “please hold my hand, chakkar aaraha hai”…and she was trying to hold my hand !! Of course it was dark..and it was a mistaken identity.(wink) Yeah you must watch the film for some awesome cinematography but overall 3 stars and I don’t seem to recall the songs …nor the chase sequences. Its more of masks…and skin. More later…. Regards Vc

Things not to do..

NEVER EVER ASK YOUR SIS TO BUY THE XBOX 360. NEVER EVER HAVE YOUR BIL TEST THE XBOX. Grrr.....he's not giving it back.......he's keeping it for himself.. :( Sniff oh.. you can check Dee's blog at http://deepsmusings.blogspot.com/

Free to do the dishes, to do the laundry and eat cakes for dinner and of course coming home late ;) , just like the owls. Hoot Hoot. It was Thanksgiving day yesterday and all the Indians in US of A would have been standing patiently in a queue. Yep ,so were my sister and bil.They had given me 2 choices , I could either get an XBOX 360 to play Gears of War or I could have a fully automatic washing machine. Guess what I took ? Yeah the fully automatic washing machine especially since it would come with a model ( wink wink).But life is full of surprises and boom , they betrayed me and bought a XBOX .I think it was more so because of the 2 free mobile phones which came with the XBOX.grrr.I hope my bil doesnt get addicted....and please dont let Sid anywhere near it. Yipeeeee now all I have to do is wait patiently for 5 months for the parcel to reach me..grrr.. Life is so…..Anyway I didn’t have the time to play games :( Oh I almost forgot the Goobe’s XI have reached the finals of the cricket tournament and guess who’s the captain..lalallalaaaaaaaa.

Remind me to write a short note on their love story.. a story which broke all barriers of language/caste/creed/distance and Mobile networks.Its going to have drama, dialogues like " Ghar se nikal Jao" Goddess Durga, a trip to Bristol,a trip to Kolkatta, aero engines,fish fry, Bengali babes and oh ....huge mobile bills.

"Bapu ko ghar chhod ke aa"

Munna a small-time crook and sensuous Mohini are in love .Maaamu Mohini kya naachthi hai.......wah wah ..and Munna's tapori style ...awesome. Yes, I am talking about the original Munna aka Anil Kapoor. My favorite actor, Jhakaaaaaas . Areh you have to listen to his dialogues in the film "Deewana Mastaana" simply super, wait I’ll ask Sajjan , he knows all the dialogues.They don't make mast movies like Tezaab, anymore, sigh*.This film had some cool songs and you know that “ek do theen char" song, well during our singing test, Sister Emilie did not allow me to sing that song,grr , I had to sing BoneyM's Rasputin. Oh and she didn’t even let my friend Ajith sing " Hawa Hawa yeh Hawa " song.She said it contained vulgar words like love and pyar. May she rest in peace. So where was I ? Haan if you want a review of Munna Bhai the sequel check out kk’s version . Last friday,I was invited to watch a night show film. with my bil and cousin sis and we had lots of fun.Do you guys go to a film theatre and for a moment, yep just for a moment, think of all those 300+ people watching a white screen? Have we lost it or what? Vc shakes his head.. When Circuit made an entry ,that dame in the middle row, screamed so loudly,grr,it was as if she was watching Evil Dead all alone in a theater and when Sanju baba smiled , she was hysterical. Couldn’t spot her in the dark, else I would have given her "ek " kaan ke neeche. When Aish was on the screen ,areh Doom2 , the trailor duh!! I was shocked... she's become so so lean...che, I wonder if she's eating properly. sigh* The best parts of the film that I can remember apart from Aish bungee jumping with that six fingered dude, oh now I have to tell you this joke that I heard on TV.. Sunah hai, ki Doom 2 main, Aishwarya Rai , ek bikini scene main nazar aayegi. (Audience whistles) Yeh bhi Sunah hai ki Doom 2 main, Bipasha Basu, ek bikini Scene main Nazar aayegi(Audience whistles) ailaa Aishwarya Rai or Bipasha Basu ek hi bikini main ?? Uahhahahahhahahaha Ok ok so where was I? Haan Munna Bhai , the scenes in which Circuit acts like he can see Baapu , uhahhahaaaaha they are so funny.And when a drunk Munna says "Yeah Circuit,Bapu ko ghar chhod ke aa" , we were rolling on the floor ( psst I found 1 coke bottle and 2 one rupee coins) and that dialogue " Main kaam kartha hoon tho paise miltha hai aur agar main kaam nahi kartha hoon tho aur bhi zaayada paisa miltha hai " is super cool..areh that was from Shiva , that telugu remake which had this song " Botany Class undi,Matinee Show undi..........." jagada jagada daam daam daam.. I know its not related to Munna , but I thought I'd mention it. So I have just 2 words for all you people out there…Jai Hind.

Buckle Up. It Makes It Harder for the Aliens to Snatch You From Your Car.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. ~Ambrose Redmoon

A month ago, I heard this interesting incident, involving a biker dude. It seems that a reckless government bus, aka the BMTC bus, was overtaking a car from the right side, on a busy two way street. This led to a jam as vehicles from the opposite side literally came to a stand still. A biker dude parked his bike right in front of the bus, removed his ISI markwalla helmet , went to the panWalla’s stall, ordered a “meeta banarasi” paan, and opened his ciggy pack. On seeing this, the driver of the bus swore out loud, because he couldn’t move the bus. The conductor got out and asked the biker dude “politely” to move his bike so that the bus could pass. The dude” politely” pointed out that the bus was on the wrong side of the lane and that as he was not breaking any rules, he was not going to move the bike. The driver was very agitated but he did not climb out of his seat, he shouted profanities at the biker dude. The conductor, a smart guy,called a couple of passengers and they were about the push the vehicle to a side, when the biker dude exhaled and calmly said “ #@$%@#$5 %#@$& #$$ bike $#^$ $$^#@# %^ “,which loosely translated would be similar to Trinity saying “Touch me and that hand will never touch anything again.. “. Believe me when I say that no one, no one dared to touch the bike. The driver was still seething as he put the bus in reverse gear. The dude smoked his ciggy , ate his paan and went on his way. The other day, I sort of tried this stunt. Well I couldn’t help it, that black Santro over took that L- board Maruthi car (obviously being driven by a girl, who is too worried about her hair than the traffic) and was in a collision course with my bike. I braked, krrrrrrrrrrrk,and stopped right in front of the car. The showdown. I looked at the driver, who peeked out of the window and I did that thing with my eyebrows, which would mean “what’s up bro? “. The dude sitting in the front passenger seat looked out of the other window and spat out , picchak .Zzzzzzzzz the back- passenger windows opened and two more dudes looked out. I still haven’t seen my 5 month old "smartie pie" nephew and would like to teach him how to play chess and so I did the RIGHT thing . No, I did not park my bike and go looking for a paanwala.I simply gave them my best smile , backed away and made a hasty retreat. Hello, you should have seen them, they were typical goondas and me, I’m a simple masala dosa and bru filter kaapi fan. ;) Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow. ~Mary Anne Radmacher

Oye yeah ..this lil dude is definitely listening to Himmi�...Rock on Bro..

Slinky sounds like kk's snake....

My brother adopted a snake named Slinky, whose most disagreeable trait was eating live mice. Once I was pressed into going to the pet store to buy Slinky's dinner. The worst part of this wasn't choosing the juiciest-looking creatures or turning down the clerk who wanted to sell me vitamins to ensure their longevity. The hardest part was carrying the poor things out in a box bearing the words "Thank you for giving me a home."

We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today. ~Stacia Tauscher

I hardly get time to talk to my sis these days, now that she’s a proud mom of a kid named “White Mustard”. No he’s not a Red Indian, he’s an Indian with a name “Siddhartha” which in Sanskrit means white mustard. According to my sis, the kid is a “smartie pie “, yep even I thought she meant Cutie pie but it seems he’s smarter than (cough cough) me . Why do people continue to compare their kids with me?? I know I have an iQ of 13 but that doesn’t mean that…..grr grr… Anyway it seems this American Born Indian dude, aged all of 5 months, knows what he wants and loves the new toys that his papa buys for him every weekend.And I predict that he’ll be a hacker,he’s more interested in the laptop than his chewy toys. His taste in music is just awesome (like me) and he likes to go to sleep when his mom chanting Ohm Ohm…( yep that Rafi song ..Om Shanthi Om..mere umar ke.. lala lalaa). Today’s conversation was about Himmi (Himesh Reshammiya). My sis wanted to know who this new singer was .. I was flabbergasted . OMG how could someone living on Planet Earth, with access to cable Television, not have heard of Himmi. It seems she was watching Zee and every 10 minutes the screen would fill with Himmi’s latest chart busters…..and the kid, Sid, who was happily chewing, God knows what,looked up , stopped his chewing, gave Himmi a look ( which was a cross between “ what the hell and OMG”) and went back to his chewing. OMG the kid was captivated by Himmi for more than 4.32 seconds. In my opinion the kid just became a huge fan of Himmi’s jinchak music. Sigh*

See Cucumber .. i might as well be the one outside the bottle..sigh*

Rita Rudner's Facts About Men

Stuff that made me roll on the floor....yep i dropped my pencil. Men who have pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry. Men are very confident people. My husband is so confident that when he watches sports on television, he thinks that if he concentrates it can help his team. If the team is in trouble, he coaches the players from our living room, and if they're really in trouble, I have to get off the phone in case they call him. Don't try to teach men how to do anything in public. They can learn in private; in public they have to know. Men are sensitive in strange ways. If a man has built a fire and the last log does not burn, he will take it personally. ( so true ...sigh*) Most women are introspective: "Am I in love? Am I emotionally and creatively fulfilled?" Most men are outrospective: "Did my team win? How's my car?" Men accept compliments much better than women do. Example: "Mitch, you look great." Mitch: "Thanks." On the other side: "Ruth, you look great." Ruth: "I do? Must be the lighting." Men who listen to classical music tend not to spit. ( Vc runs off to buy Bach's ~St Matthew Passion).

Life is like art. You have to work hard to keep it simple and still have meaning.

Some jokes need a lot of imagination. Like this one ..here we have Ram Lal Verma, a successful businessman who runs a multimillion dollar ear-bud business and Krishnakanth a patient and lovable waiter , who is trying to complete his MBA through a correspondence course. They are having one of “those” discussions. The story so far is that Ram Lal has ordered and is served his favorite spicy sweet corn soup with lots of garlic and …… Krishnakant: "Yes, sir, is there something wrong?" Ram Lal : "The soup. Taste it." Krishnakant: "I beg your pardon, Sir?" Ram Lal: "Taste it." Krishnakant: "But, Sir, I can assure you that the soup is excellent." Ram Lal: "Taste it." Krishnakant: "Sir, the soup was made this morning of the finest ingredients." Ram Lal: "Taste it!" Krishnakant: exasperated, "All right, Sir, I'll taste it." Then after a pause he said, "Where is the spoon?" To which Ram Lal replied triumphantly, "Ah ha!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It’s always the simple things that baffle us. Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed? Or Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"? Or Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? Sigh* The following short anecdote tells you just that : The stories and characters described here are imaginary. Any resemblance to actual persons, living, dead or dying, or to actual events, is purely coincidental and accidental ;) “…..which states that the magnitude of the wave-function, whether it is summed over real space or over momentum space must be the same.” Lakshmigopal looks at his brand new HMT watch. “ I’ll continue with FFT in the next class, Let me remind you that the assignments are due on Monday”. He moved to the black board and picked up the duster. “ Sir”. He turned around slowly to find Beena shuffling a few sheets of paper .” Oh God ! “ he exclaimed. “Yes Beena what is it ? “ “ Sir can you help me with this ...? “ She hands over a couple of sheets. “What is this ? It looks like an essay on Jawaharlal Nehru. What do you want me to do ?” Beena looks down at her well manicured feet and shuffles, “ Sir I was wondering if you could help me translate a few Hindi words.” “ What ?? I have a degree in Electronics not a degree in Hindi.” ” But Sir, please, it’s for my sister and I promised her…….” Lakshmigopal sighed and looked at the 3 underlined words… 1. Roll number 2. Freedom fighters 3. Teachers signature “This looks easy enough, let me have a go at it” he sat on the chair, pulled out his ink pen. Roll number..roll number..roll…… Can you help Lakshmigopal translate the 3 words ?

TV gives everyone an image, but radio gives birth to a million images in a million brains~Peggy Noonan

Radio invented a new kind of drama called soap opera, a form of serial in which the main rule was, 'Don't let anything happen!' - because if something happened on a Wednesday and you were at the dentist, on Thursday you wouldn't know what the hell was going on and you'd get mad and switch soap operas, and soap, too.~Sam Moore

Have you heard of Bangalore’s favorite radio station ,Radio City 91 FM? Apart from playing jingles they sometimes, by mistake, play a few songs. Yesterday at Top 8 at 8, we had the Bow Bow special .Wondering what the Bow Bow special is ..its a pgm where the listeners call up the RJ Suniana Lal and she in turn puts the dogs on air.

Here's what happened : RJ: Hello Malvika Caller one : Hello (screaaaaaaaaams) (it’s a lil girl ) RJ: So do you have a dog Malvika ? Malvika : Yes it’s a lab . RJ: What do you call it ? Malvika : I call it MILO RJ : ( swoons) such a ccccccchweeet name , and why do you call it MILO ? Malvika: I used to call it "My love" but then it got converted to Milo. RJ : OMG that is so ccccccchweet. Put Milo on air ( disturbance in the background as Malvika does something to the dog and the dog starts barking) Malvika : Milo bark Milo : bowwwwwww ( Its more of a yelp , I think the girl stamped the tail or something and the dog was crying out in pain) RJ : Gosh that is so sweeet. You know what I’m going to dedicate this next song to Milo. Turns out to be KANK’s Mithwaaaaaaaaa ( cough cough ) RJ : We have Anjali on line..Hello Anjali !! Anjali : hi Sunianaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa RJ: So Anjali what type of a dog do you have ? Anjali : I have a boxer and his name is Toddy. Rj : So cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewt and is he going to bark for us . Anjali : just a moment . (In the background , the dog is like looking at Anjali and refuses to bark,Anjali is in a dilemma , the whole of Bangalore is waiting with bated breath..) Anjali : Bow bow Yes my dear friends Anjali barked ( Vc shakes his head) Rj : So cheeeeeeeeeeewt , you know what Anjali, you remind me of Anjali from Kuch Kuch Hotha Hai , so this song goes out specially for you……… Anjali sighs in relief …………

Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years. ~Simone Signoret

The Iyer wedding through my eyes...., you can find all the customs here Kashi Yatra: The groom embarks on a mock pilgrimage. Dressed in the traditional 'panchakatcham', holding an umbrella, a fan, a walking stick, and a towel containing 'dal' (lentils) and rice tied to his shoulder, the groom embarks on a mock pilgrimage. As he steps out of the 'mandapam', the bride's father pleads with him not to go to 'Kashi' (a sacred pilgrimage site in the city of Benaras) and marry his daughter instead. After much ado the groom accepts and returns to the 'mandappam' to get married! Run Anand Run this is your last chance.. but no!! he just stood there smiling..thu thu .. Unjal Unjal:The couple exchange garlands On entering the 'mandapam' the groom discards his walking stick and all the other paraphernalia and is garlanded by the bride. The groom in turn garlands the bride. This was the fun part .. Scene 1 : Bride smiles garlands the groom, groom inturn garlands the bride. Scene 2: Bride smiles and tries to garland the running away groom.Relatives catch the dude before he escapes. Scene 3.Groom tries to garland the bride but the bride is being lifted up up and now the groom is flying and Voila..he makes it.. applause... I was too stunned to shoot pics.Hello it was like watching a chinku movie, ppl flying around... my apologies… The couple is then made to sit on a decorated swing and the women folk smear their feet with a little milk, 'kumkum' and 'chandan' (sandalwood paste). A pot of water and a lamp set inside a measure containing rice are carried by the bride's mother and other elderly ladies around the swing and the couple is fed a mixture of bananas, milk and sugar. From what little I could gather both the groom and bride were fasting and they just gobbled up the mixture of bananas and milk. But the best part was when all the aunties “mammies” as the photographer kept calling queued up to feed the couple.They were literally fighting. The groom’s father was a bit worried and he kept looking at his watch ;-) .Then the drama reached its pinnacle when one “mamma “ took out 4 sheets of lyrics and went on to sing “ Happy wedding day to you “(This will soon be released in your local Audio stores). He went on and on and his voice reminded me of Himmesh ( Please note that I am a fan of Himmi..junoooooooooon junooooooooon ). Mamma then ended with a couple of tamil slokas and we all clapped. Then the maami's threw color color rice ladoos .. After the traditional 'aarthi' the bride and groom are escorted for the next ceremony -the 'kanyadhan'. The cone shaped 'parupputhengai' (a special sweetmeat) is an important part of all these ceremonies. According to Divster:" its part of the 'seeru'.Seeru means.. what u offer to the boy's side paruppu= daal, thenga=coconut so like. each one of them contains.. sweets like laddu, cashew sweet, jaggery ka sweet, knoharam(another sweet), and so on…. and i thought the couple were supposed to wear them.. I swear.. i was even ready to click a few snaps..che.. Kanyadhan:Giving away the bride Amidst the chanting of 'mantras' (Vedic chants), the 'pujari' ignites the sacred fire. The groom is gifted a 'muhurtha veshti' (a 4 metre long silk dhoti) and a 'pattu' (a 2 metre long silk fabric to be used as a stole). The bride is seated on her father's lap for the 'kanyadhan'. The bride and groom together hold a coconut dipped in turmeric, while the bride's mother pours water onto the coconut. This is the actual ritual of 'kanyadhan'. I was a bit distracted when they were giving away the bride…. Mangalyadharanam: The groom ties the sacred 'taali' on the bride The 'kanyadhan' is followed by the 'mangalyadharanam'. The 'taali' or 'mangalsutra' is placed on the bride's head along with a miniature piece of jewellery shaped like a yoke Mangalyadharanam and the groom performs a 'puja' with 'kumkum' and flowers. He then ties the first knot of the 'taali' around the bride's neck and his sister ties the other two. As usual I was a bit distracted …..and I missed this part… Sapthapathi : Seven steps around the sacred fire The bride's sari 'pallav' and the groom's 'angavastram' (shawl) are tied in a knot and the couple hold hands. The groom places his foot under the bride's and helps her to take the seven steps around the fire. Then he places the bride's foot on a grinding stone near the fire and slips silver rings or 'metti' on her toes. Yep I saw this …Oh..so its seven steps…but I thought it was 7 rounds ?? No ? The couple is then shown the 'Dhruva Nakshatra' or Pole Star, a symbol of permanence and the 'Arundhati Nakshatra' or symbol of purity and virtue. Missed this … Laja Homam: The bride makes an offering to the sacred fire The bride's brother slings a bagful of puffed rice or 'laja' over his shoulder and keeps giving fistfuls of it to his sister to offer as a sacrifice to the sacred fire. After this ritual the couple circulate and are blessed by all present. Missed this again .. I was looking elsewhere..

"No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow." -- Lin Yutang

“ I am not a bookie !“ that’s how it all began. That was my response to RB’s request to book the train tickets to Chennai. We were off to attend Anand’s wedding. Initially 4 of us were supposed to be traveling, but in the end, as always, it was left to RB and me to do the honors. Did you know that it has the second largest beach in the world. Neither of us knew the local language Tamil but we were confident that we could quite easily find our way around the city. So armed with simple tamil words like Addi paavi, timmaru, Kadal , poi sollade ,naNdri, Thiruvanmiyur ku enda bus pogu, bus stop enga irukku ? and other small but loos words we boarded the Chennai express. The train was scheduled to depart at 9:45pm but it was understandably 10 minutes late (the traffic you know). We had on this occasion made reservations (2nd Class Sleeper, thank you RB) and we didn’t have much trouble finding our berths. We chitchatted for 10 mins and I opened my novel, only to hear the other passenger asking us to switch off the light. The time was 10.30pm and according to the TC,the train would be reaching Chennai at around 5 am. We slept like logs ….only to be rudely awakened by our co passengers. Yes, they switched on the @#$@# lights. The time was 4 am and guess what, the TC was wrong (as always) and we were in Chennai an hour earlier than scheduled. I got down from the compartment looked to my right, and my eyebrows touched the roof. Sigh* and I looked to the left. This time, I swear, the eyebrows didn’t move a millimeter. I was looking at 2 groups of girls who had occupied the adjacent compartments. I desperately wanted to kick RB for not booking our tickets in those compartments. But I had to give up, not only because he’s bigger and tougher than me, but for the solemn fact that even if we were in those bogies, all that we would have done was switch off the lights and go to sleep ..right ? We made our way to the bus stand and were greeted by a swarm of mosquitoes. We waited for an hour for the elusive bus and then we decided to take a rickshaw. We had heard a lot of things about the Chennai rickshaw wallahs and not all were good. We asked a dude for directions to Thiruvanmiyur. He said that we should take a bus. I asked him “How about the rickshaw ? “. There were a lot of empty ones and believe me these are huge compared to our local Bangalore autos. They are also called share auto’s. The dude shook his head dramatically and said “ No , they charge too much”. Me : “How much and which place are you going to ? “ Incidentally even he was headed towards Thiruvanmiyur and was looking for an auto. He went over to a driver and started haggling and occasionally pointing in our direction, of course it is better to smile when someone is pointing at you,and so we smiled. He came back and said “ Too much “ .I persisted “How much is he asking ? “ He, shaking his head,” Rs 30 “.I think I said wow .. and said “ For each ? Lets go “. He continued to shake his head and said “ Too Costly” . The auto driver continued to stare at us. Eventually an uncle came to our rescue and as soon as he hopped in, the driver called us over and our rates were lowered to Rs 20.( yippee) . It was a quiet 25 min ride, with me sitting next to the driver and looking at the sun rise over the Marina beach. The best part was the uncle got down after 5kms and he paid Rs 50, we traveled for 10kms and paid Rs 20.hehe At first glance Chennai looked like a small town. Maybe it was because I visited the not so posh part of the city?? anyway the flyovers were pretty cool , that’s because they were all completed and they didn’t have traffic signals on flyovers( yep we in Bangalore have traffic signals on flyovers). We asked a panwalla the location of the Marriage hall and he said, “cross the signal, go straight and you can see the big board mentioning the name of the hall”. We crossed the traffic signal and walked for 5 minutes, but couldn’t find the above mentioned board. We asked an uncle for further directions and after a few up’s and left’s and right’s, please note we were never lost, we found the board mentioning the name of the hall and we smiled, no not because it was right under out noses but because it was in Tamil. After a breakfast which consisted of idli’s, masala dosa’s, vada , pongal ,some strange sweet and coffee, we sat down to watch the rituals of the Iyer community and believe me it was fun.;-) Apart from the fact that someone introduced RB as a “hindi “,which meant he spoke only Hindi ( he’s a typical Kannadiga) and me a “telugu” … ??? , nothing unusual happened.The lunch was delicious and RB confessed that he was mesmerized by the variety of dishes and didn’t remember what he ate. After the marriage ceremony,we made an “on the spot decision” of catching a train back to Bangalore. We didn’t like the humid climate and the thought of taking a stroll on the marina beach in the afternoon was a bit worrying .We went to the bus stand and decided to catch a bus to the Central. All the buses were packed and I didn’t like the idea of being suffocated in the crowd. I kept telling RB that I could strike a deal with the auto. But no, he didn’t trust my Tamil :-( . At last we boarded a not so rush bus and after a 45 min ride landed at Central. One of the curious things that I noticed was that all the ladies were sitting on the left hand side of the bus. Unlike in Bangalore, were the first 4 front rows of seats are reserved for women. Weird. Time : 12: 30pm We went to buy the return tickets and were in for a shock. What greeted us was a huge serpentine Q. I found out that there were 2 trains bound to Bangalore , the 1: 15pm super fast express and the 3: 45pm Lalbagh express. Our hopes of boarding the 1:15pm train went up in smoke when we saw the long Q. Nevertheless we stood in line for 42 minutes, looking on as people shouted , swore and jumped lines. It was fun as I kept pestering RB to buy AC tickets, but he declined and moreover they were all booked. We asked for 2 tickets to Bangalore and that’s what we got. But when we checked the ticket, it said nothing about which train, what time or which class we could travel. Time : 1: 13pm I went to the “Can I help you” section and showed the dude our tickets and asked “which Train”. He looked at me as if I was joking and said “Bangalore train”. I was exasperated, I kept my cool and asked “what time ? “ He explained that we could board any train bound to Bangalore. Time : 1: 14pm We ran to Platform number 3 and heard the whistle. The question that was bugging our mind was which class tickets did we buy?. I showed my ticket to a TC and asked which class ? , He took a look at the ticket and said , any bogie, go go … and we ran. We didn’t jump into the first 5 bogies, because it was filled up and I thought I saw a goat (hallucination? ) and our search for a compartment with seats came to an abrupt halt when the train started moving and we had to jump in. As luck should have it, we landed in an empty 2nd class seater compartment. We spied a couple of empty seats and sat down. We were not sure if “ anywhere on the train” meant literally anywhere or just the general compartment (the goat). Of course I wanted to go to the AC compartment but RB wouldn’t let me..grrr. We decided to stay in the cosy seats, until we were forcefully evicted. We liked it not only because it had a lot of small ceiling fans but the endless running food vendors entertained us. These guys were selling bottled water, mobile covers, different types of vada’s, potato chips, coke, pepsi, pulav, curd rice, cold badam milk, ice creams and toys. I even saw a lady selling flowers. wow talk about variety. According to a colleague, people traveling in trains, spend more on eatables than on the Railway ticket. Time : 2:30pm A couple of typical Iyer, Maami and Mamma came over to our seats 76, 77 and informed us that they had reservations. We got up and moved on to the front row, which thankfully were empty. Time : 2:40 pm Enter the TC. Amusingly this dude was inspecting tickets of people who were seated and he didn’t care about the others who were standing near the door. We were tense because we were not sure what the TC would do when he saw our tickets. I said lets plead ignorance and blame that other TC who told us that we could sit anywhere .RB’s reply “Ignorance of rules is not an excuse”. Grr. This TC was a cool dude. He took one look at our ticket and informed us that the tickets were for the general compartment and that we had to go to the front bogies of the train. I asked him if we could pay extra and continue sitting in the 2nd class. He explained that all the seats were reserved and that the other passengers would be boarding the train soon and until then we could continue to be seated. Time 3:00 pm Another eviction and we found ourselves occupying 60,61 and 62. This was the coolest part of the journey, because for the next 100 minutes no one bothered us (apart form the food vendors) and we dozed off. Time 4:45 pm. We passed Vellore Institute of Technology and I was impressed by the huge campus. It was at this time that we were asked to vacate for the last time, as the rightful passengers had boarded the train. From now on it was “standing” and we jumped in and out of different compartments looking for standing space. We wanted to stand next to the door where it was cool with the breeze blowing. After 3 hours of standing and looking out at the passing scenery, we reached Bangalore.We talked about how we wanted AC tickets, but traveled in 2nd class with general tickets. I was really amazed by the sheer number of people, who used the trains to travel from one village to another. The Indian Railways is indeed one of the most amazing modes of transport and surprisingly are sometimes punctual. Apart from the fact that I jumped off in a different Railway station (Bangalore East) please note I was not lost, and had to pay a hefty auto fare, I reached home safe and sound :).

Do you watch the Discovery Travel and Living Channel ? No ? Then you better start checking it out. Some of the stuff I like are Long Way Round 2 Men... 2 Bikes... 20000 Miles... Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman. The episode I watched had these guys stuck in Mangolia. Awesome landscape very very bad roads. Orange County Choppers : These guys are known for their custom motorcycles. Check out this beauty. I even liked "Surfing The Menu", well that was because they were showing ice creams ..slurp. The Great Indian Wedding which featured Priya Sachdev and Vikram Chatwal's wedding was .... ;-) oh well I moved on to Animax: Appleseed :)

Yes I did it !! I watched the most talked about film in recent years , the 70 crore film by Karan Johar, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. Yep its 3 hours and 20 minutes and no way it’s going to represent India to the Oscar :). I watched it on a PC and the sound quality was not worth writing home.But the best part was that I could fast forward the “ boo hoo” scenes and believe me there were a lot of forward-able scenes Stuff that caught my eye and went into my nose: First 20 minutes enjoyable …no crying or hamming . Next 3 hours ..too many twists and turns ( yes I was looking up and down) Songs : Ooh there is this one song .. which I will call the “ Blue Song “. The screen turns completely blue. (I thought the monitor went kaput and gave it a whack) Cinematography : Good Headache : 2 Anacin tablets Story : cough cough For me,.the one person who stood out in this multistarrer was not Shah Rukh Khan or Rani Mukherjee ,Abhishek Bachchan ,Preity Zinta nor was it Amitabh Bachchan but it was Kiron Kher . We’ve seen her in almost all of the hit films … Paro’s Mom ( hai hai ) in Devdas , Dj’s mom, Mitro in RBD, as Rani’s mom in Hum Tum ,Zooni's mom areh Kajol in Fanna, , i think she was Mariam Hayaat Khan in Veer-Zaara and of course she was in Main Hoon Na and that art film Khamosh Pani.But she came into the limelight with the film Sardari Begum . We just take some things for granted don’t we …….. Super scene : All the cast (yep all of them )… ok let me explain who is who : Shahrukh eeeew he ham’s a lot and is married to Priety and his mom is Kiron Kher. Abhishek ( it seems he’s the man all girls dream off ,eeew, but in reality he doesn’t exist) is married to loos Rani ( she reminded me of a bunny , ) and his father in the film is AB . Seating arrangements : AB is sitting at the head of the table, on his right is AB junior, to his left is Kiran Kher . Next to Kiron is Preity. Sitting next to AB junior is the bunny Rani and at the other end opposite AB is Shahrukh with a grim look. Everyone has a glass of champagne,sip sip slurrrrrrrrrp/ AB : I have an announcement to make . Silence AB : I’m getting married . AB junior chokes and spits his champagne ( superb acting ) Everyone is stunned and someone asks "who is the bride ?". AB looks at Kiron Kher and says AB: Why don’t you tell them ? Shahrukh gasps and spits his champagne….uhhahhahahaa…….well I thought it was funny. AB:”hahah just joking “.. all have smiles except Shahrukh. Ab taunts Shahrukh and says “ You don’t have a sense of humor “. They talk about the latest Animax toon flick “ Appleseed” and Shahrukh says something about love and goes on to confess that he likes Rani more than his wife Priety. All have shocked expressions. Shahrukh smiles and says :”Just kkkkkkidding .. see I have a sense of humor ". AB ‘s expression is awesome.. he’s dead serious and says.. “ good joke “ and keeps staring at Shahrukh. Go watch that scene. Hey I thought I saw Kajol make a guest appearance in one of the songs. Psst check out Rani's jewellery...oho.. Anyway moving on to the last part of the movie which is the last 60 minutes I kept clicking on the forward button and everyone seemed to be crying or breaking plates. The final verdict : Do watch it with lots of popcorn and please encourage your friends to give you a buzz while your watching the movie. It’s a slow movie and the more distractions you have the better you can enjoy it. Unfortunately I had a few nightmares and so to erase the memory of KANK, I watched Parichay (*ing Jumping Jack Jeetendra and Jaya). It was so soothing…….sigh* Later on in the day I watched Rangde Basanti and all the memories of KANK were washed away. Balle Balle …..

I believe there is something out there watching over us. Unfortunately, it's the government.~Woddy Allen
