I love my Radio , my chinese Radio :)

After 3 years and 21 promises, Kk sent me a book, via ebay via Chennai. http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0553564943.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg I wonder who recommended this book ( looks at SP) Thank you Kirthi but @#$@#$@#$ 20$ you spent 20 odd dollars !!! Wait till I tell your mom. .wait wait.. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sajjan gave me a small radio which plays AM FM SW TV and WB. So now I leave office exactly at 10pm, tune into Kyun Ki Saaas Bhi Bahu thi :) and listen to it and imagine the scenes. Che I can't see what the ladies are wearing ;( Anyway, he says I can listen to Radio Ceylon and listen to oldies and occasionally I might get the local Tamil station and can learn Tamil :) He even came up with the brilliant idea of installing a DISH on my helmet which would then help me tune into all the "cable" channels :) uahhahhahhhhhhhhhahaaaaaa

For the love of GOD !! Stop hugging the ball ;)

I had the rare privilege of watching a “Throw ball tournament” and boy did I have fun :) uahhahahhaaaaaha. It was a ladies tournament and I was sort of the official photographer. Well Sita ( name changed , well she did threaten to break all my 206 bones and psssst she’s strong ) wanted me to cheer her team and so on a hot Saturday morning, I found myself watching a bunch of girls throwing and catching a ball .., well I know its "throw ball" but I was taken aback when I overheard them discussing “strategy” and who the weak link in the opponent's team was and the fact that they should target girl number 10 who was not good at catching the ball. Me being Me.. I even pointed out to the ladies that I found it weird that they could even think about this stuff...ahem ahem..If looks could kill, I would have been chopped and marinated for the local crows. ( gulp) For more rules on the unknown game…http://www.batss.org/thorowball_20Game_rules.htm Some of the rules that I learnt on the court was : You can and have to catch the ball with your fingers/palms No wrists No rolling the ball No 3 girls in the same straight line No jumping and catching the ball No jumping and throwing the ball Definitely NO HUGGING THE BALL Stuff I caught “girls” doing on the court : Polishing nails Use the mobile to call mommy, to update her on the scores Ogling at the guys standing at the sidelines Ogling at the girls playing Commenting on the way the KF team was dressed ;) Applying Fair and Lovely Applying lip balm and Occasionally spraying MOVE The team that I was supposed to cheer was supported by 3 other people (including the 2 extra players) but they did win the first 2 matches comfortably . Unfortunately Sita broke a broken finger nail and was sad,nope not because of the finger nail,but the fact that she didn’t play as per her expectations. I think she was trying too hard and not enjoying the game. ( after a round of encouragement and a pat on the shoulder , she played really well ;) ) Well after the first match I was a bit bored and then ...they arrived.Praaaaamapaaaaaaaaaaaara dressed in red, the KF team. They looked a bit tired; I bet they just came off a flight. If all the other teams wore track suits (local colors) and they just came to play, these young dare devils in red shorts were dressed to play :) .Well they did play well, especially the captain Asthma (name changed) she had a weird serve. She just threw the ball high up in the air and it took a looooooooong time to come down and the opposition usually goofed up when they tried to catch it. The twin sisters (something to do with the twin towers and nothing to do with legs) were the star attraction. The other "teams" were jealous of them, no no not because of the fact that the twins wore "makeup" and “eyeliner” but the fact that they hugged each other after every point..uahhahaaaaaaaaaaaahaa Girls!! Uff Back to the game.,well our team did win 2 games and moved on to the Semi Finals.I was a bit apprehensive about cheering.. all the encouraging words I know are shown below and which cannot be used in this scenario. Comeon GUYS , Beauty dude, Lovely catch amigo Maccha move in, Watch the ball,watch the ball &#$*#*$# what do you think you are doing !! Watch his hands Watch his legs (imagine me shouting..watch her legs ;) uahhahhaaaaaaaaaahaha ) Guys lets go for the kill. Well I did say " Lovely" just once when Sita returned a serve and I got a hard look from one of the extra players...(sniff) So I decided to be on the safer side and I smiled and kept my mouth closed for the rest of the game. The 3rd match was a humdinger and unfortunately my team lost :( , and I did some analysis and found the root cause for the failure. It was because these "coding" engineers had always taken a good siesta after a hearty lunch and on Saturday they actually took a 30 minute break by sprawling on the pavement( Duh!!) Oh and the fact that the other team were targeting our team's "weak" players could also have been one of the factors. They were disheartened after the loss but were informed that they could actually play for the 3rd place. Something is better than nothing :) I was hoping to see my team play against the KF team,alas..it didn’t materialize and HELLO I would have supported my team ..duh !! So the next day ( Sunday, yep I was there too) they did win (it seems they changed the strategy, ahem ahem) but the truth is that I winked at the opponent team captain and she lost her concentration and so...you get the picture right...Psst the KF team actually lost on Sunday,even though they had a lot of support , especially the 8 dude’s from the other court,the guys playing the volleyball match, yep they were cheering them on…. So over the weekend I had pleasant nightmares : Girls screaming MINE MINE, ( of course they were talking about the ball and not me) Service ma, beauty ma , cover her cover her,and of course the whistles ( girls of course) Stuff that I Overheard: One of the girls who was playing shouted this to the girl who was serving: Can you please finish the game fast? I am worried about my complexion! Can you stop ogling at the KF team and cheer our team ?!! Refreeeeee time please, I broke a nail !! Encouraging words not to be used in a Ladies Throw ball tournament: Come-on girls, break a finger nail Can you please Stop Hugging the ball ;) By the way Sita was one of the best players and I am proud of her ;) pssst the refree actually asked her which team she played and all..gotha..gotha..( beams) I just went through the pics and I was surprised to find so many good shots and I’ve been invited for the next outing in the month of MARCH :) ……..haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

A smile is something you can't give away; it always comes back to you. ~Author Unknown

What's that line. . Love is like a bird, set it free, if it was yours it'll come back or else..( scratches his head) naaah.. My definition is so much better...

Love is like a little fat flying pink pig, if it can fly, let it go...or else..ahem.. pork chops :)

Something in the eyes..or was it the color pink :)

 

Balefire ....

 

Nobody said it was easy

Aww It’s such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said it would be so hard

I’m goin’ back to the start

 

Ahhooooooooooooooooo

Ahhooooooooooooooooo

Ahhooooooooooooooooo

Ahhooooooooooooooooo

 

 

Super duper ding dong song..and i'm thinking of the next story and i think i've got the theme..ahem well atleast the last line will be :

As i looked into her eyes, I could feel my heart skip a beat.I found myself falling into the deep abyss. It was the only time i wished i was someone other than who i was, i wished i was superman.

 

 

Why is the sun called the sun and not the daughter ? ( che che gender bias).

 

Has anyone seen the latest Beyonce and Shakira song : Beautiful Liar ?? I was so confused :(  I did’nt know where to look , too much of distraction.

 

I just realized that God was playing a joke on me...you see, he's put me, all alone on this boat in the middle of a river and has given me a silver fork to paddle uahhahhaaaaaaahha

 

God ..I’m a goner ……. Psssssssst  where’s BF .. that blog fan of mine…che I miss her..sigh*…

Deepavu Ninnade gaLiyu ninnade, aaradirali beLaku

Oh the title is from a kannada folk song...which means..'Everything is yours- the lamp and the wind ....do not put off the light of life- the shore/bank (as in river) belong to you, oh Lord, so does the boat in which we sail-do not let the life drown/get washed away'  Sigh*

 

Saaaaab Maya hain ....( Wonder where she is...)

 

I had one of those days yesterday , no the ice-cream didn’t fall off and the soup didn’t stain my tie ( no i don’t wear a tie and definitely not a pink shirt).I spoke to many people and realized that we all have our own chinnu munnu troubles, yet we smile and make others smile.

 

A wife waiting for her husband to come back from his offshore trip, and how it got delayed for the nth time, how she wrote a dov letter. Sigh* and then ended by threatening to marry someone else ;) uahhahahhahahhhhhhhhahaaa

 

Another conversation with someone who was so depressed he wanted to cheer people up!! His efforts at acting loos was worth an applause. He called me a " nice chap" ..grrr and on top of it called me a maven ( it means some sort of loos wizard),i gave him some nice pattars...:)

 

A "deep" conversation with someone who was fighting against nature, ( No he was not fishing in Greenland) , he was fighting with his body and I hope he gets into the Indian Bridge team. Why? Not everyone gets to say .. psst see that skinny dude , well he comments on my blog ( beam beam ).

 

With another loos party who just couldn't make up her mind...  and I even gave her the black lipstick :) but no ..sigh*

 

 

 

I love this song :) for all the wrong reasons .....

 tu yaad na aaye aaisa koi din nahi
tujhe bhul jana jaana mumkin nahi
tu yaad na aaye aaisa koi din nahi

main karta hoon laakh bahane
par bin tere dil na maane
jitna tujhko bhoolna chahu
utna hi tujhe paas main paaun

wah wah ........

"There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.”

 
 
Rajesh was wondering why his right eye was fluttering like an insect attracted to a lamp. He knew it was a bad omen and hoped that it was  just be an allergic reaction to the lemon juice.The gang was taking a "dum" break and someone mentioned that it was  Amavas". Rajesh looks at Prakash and advices" Prakash, its late, you better go home now, we can take care of the rest of the work tomorrow ". Prakash nods his head and goes home The rest of the gang go back to work and at 10.30pm, they decide to call it a day.
 
The feeling of something going amiss was still strong in Rajesh. The traffic was thin and as always all the signals turned green just for him. He smiled and tried humming a song .He saw the poodle of water and tired to turn left , the front tyre skidded on the slippery surface and Rajesh tumbled from his bike. His head hit the asphated road with a bang and the bike hit the footpath. Rajesh had a grin on his face and as he looked at the stars he wished for a few minutes of dreamless sleep. He shook his head and was helped to his feet by Ramu the auto driver.Before he could count 3,he was surrounded by people. The auto driver's face looked anxious, "Paani  ? " . Rajesh shook his head, " No thank you, I am alright", He walks over to his bike, switches off the engine.The people follow him , he looks at the water on the road and smiles. One of the onlookers comes up and gives Rajesh his mobile, which surprisingly was still intact.The autodriver says " Are you alright ? , you had a bad fall " , Rajesh smiles yet again, thanks the maker of his ISI mark wala helmet , starts the bike, and vrooms off.
 
45 minutes later, as he parks his bike in the garage, he feels a tinge of pain on his left shoulder. He shrugs it off and knocks on the door.He doesn't inform his mom about the incident and after dinner,secretly applies "iodex" to his left shoulder and tries to get some sleep
 
At 2am, he wakes up from a terrifying dream and realises that he is having difficulty breathing and he thought that he had broken a rib close to the heart. His left hand and shoulder where not responding to his brain waves and then he visualised himself as he fell on the road, bingo ,he had fallen on his left shoulder.The pain was too much to bear and he couldn't get up.He decided to skip work and meet Dr Sheshan first thing in the morning.
 
6am : There is a knock on his door, his wake up call and he cannot get up to open the door.So he picks up his moblie and calls up the landline and informs his mom that he's going a bit late to office and wants to sleep for a few more hours.
 
10am : He struggles to get off the bed and after 10 agonising minutes he makes it to the kitchen and tells his mom about the "little" accident and promises to go meet the doctor asap.
 
11am: The doctor makes Rajesh do a couple of nerve racking exercises which resembled the African " Kookawamba " tribe's war dance and delivers the judgement : " Nothing to worry about, you've torn a ligament on your shoulder, you will be well after 3 days, Get your wounds dressed up, get a tetanus shot and don't do any heavy lifting and ofcourse no sports"
 
11 :05am : Rajesh looks on as 3 lady doctors are busy discussing a case,atleast that's what he thought they were doing. Maybe something in the lines of "CSI : MIAMI " . One of the doctors calls him inside and he is shocked at what he overhears. The doctors were discussing the latest film Welcome and Anil Kapoor's acting.
 
11:15am : Sister Niveditha, who is 20 years old, looks at Rajesh and points him towards the bed. She brings in 3 different bottles of clear liquid and cotton swabs. Rajesh tries in vain to guess which bottle contained tincture. Niveditha looks up and enquires
" How did this happen " ?
Rajesh : " I fell off the bike, last night"
Niveditha : ' Where you drunk ? "
Rajesh gives a charming smile and grimaces as she applies tincture and defends himself " No, had to work late ".
 
 Niveditha of course doesn't believe him, and gets ready for the tetanus injection. Rajesh rolls up his sleeves, she "shakes her head " and says "No i will have to give it down there.." Rajesh is embarrassed but obliges and waits for the "prick", he involuntarily shakes his leg when he feels the prick. He calms down and thanks the Nurse, who for some reason has a smile plastered on her face.
 
Rajesh limps out of the hospital .....humming ...
 

He :Suno Aarti.., Ye Jo Phoolon Ki Belen Nazar Aati Hain Na,
Darasal Ye Belein Nahin Hai, Arabi Main Aayaten Likhi Huyi Hain.
Ise Din Ke Vaqt Dekhna Chahiye.., Bilkul Saaf Nazar Aati Hain.
Din Ke Vaqt Ye Paani Se Bharaa Rahataa Hai.
Din Ke Vaqt.., Jab Ye Fuwhare...

She: Kyon Din Ki Baaten Kar Rahe Ho.
Kahaan Aa Paaungi Main Din Ke Vaqt?

He: Ye Jo Chaand Hai Na, Ise Raat Main Dekhnaa...
Ye Din Main Nahin Nikaltaa ..

She: Ye To Jaroor Nikaltaa Hogaa

He: Haan.., Lekin Beech Mein Amaavas Aa Jaati Hai.
Waise To Amaavas Pandra Dinon Ke Hothi Hai, Lekin Is Baar Bahut Lambi Thhi

She: Nau Baras Lambi Thhi Naa ?

Jee Mein Aata Hai, Tere Daaman Mein, Sar Jhuka Ke Ham, Rote Rahe, Rote Rahe
Teri Bhi Aankho Mein, Aansuo Ki, Nami To Nahi

Here you go..this what my biology Mam once said...

 If you place a frog in boiling water, it will jump right back out. But if you put the frog in cold water and heat it gradually, it will sit there and slowly roast alive.

 

Tales of Battani, the pea, aahem the kid next door .......yep the monkey cap kid...

 It’s the annual school day and the “drama” was titled Bhaktha Prahlad.

 

The kids who were supposed to play Hiranyakashyap and  Prahlad had a fight and were not on speaking terms ( it was the scent rubber , Oh!! come-on Strawberry flavor). The scene they were performing was the one in which Hiranyakashyap is questioning  Prahlad about Lord Hari and his very existence. You do know that Hirnakashyap, wanting eternal power, asked Brahma to grant him with a Vardaan. That his death not be caused by man or beast, with a weapon or without a weapon, during the day or the night, indoors or outdoors, on earth or in the sky.

 

The stage is set , with “the Narasimha “ avatar ( naah it’s Battani, the kid, ) hiding in the 3rd pillar. The script was written in such a way that Hiranyakashyap was supposed to break pillar 1,then pillar 2 and then at last pillar 3. So the play goes on and ….

 

Hiranyakashyap: Uhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahhaaaaaaaaaaaa Oye  Prahlad come here…you keep harping about your Lord Hari, tell me is he everywhere ..

Prahlad: Yes my Lord!

Hiranyakashyap: Ooooooooho. .is He in this pillar ? ( points to pillar 1)

Prahlad: Yes my Lord !

 

Hiranyakashyap picks up his “mace” and WHAM breaks pillar 1  and laughs “ Uhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaa  Oho Now let me see your LORD come out of this pillar”..so saying he sits down on the floor glaring at Prahlad….

 

 Prahlad is shocked !!  the Drama teacher Miss Nalini faints, Narasimha who was supposed to materialize out of pillar 3, panics and runs to the restroom ……. he runs out the  backdoor,makes an exit from the stage,takes a wrong turn and finds himself in-between the audience . He smiles and touches a shoulder “psst Rajesh move move make way “ and approaches the stage and shouts “ Oye demon king, pull me up “.. Hiranyakashyap is bemused but pulls him up..and looks on …Prahlad bows and gives a 60 watt smile .

 

Narasimha roars ” GRRRRRRRRRRRR Oye Hiranyakashyap do you think I’m your house  servant to obey you and come out of any pillar that you point out ? Haaaaaaaaaaak thu……..  I am NARASIMHA I can come out of whatever I want, even from the audience………..Hah!!

 

The audience is ROTFL….

Billlllllllllllllllllllllllllo Rani ....

ishq karke tujhse dewaana betaab hua barbaad hua
bhool gaya apna bhi naam jab naam tera ise yaad hua

 

ye hai jo majnu

inhe kya main samjhoon

roz ho jaate hai yeh kisi na kisi pe fida…….are haaan

aaj iske piche haiiiiiii

kal uske piche….shawa

kya thikana hai inka ki ho jaaye kab laapata

hoooo………inki mohabbat resham ka jaal hai

haiiiii………. deewangi bhi inki ek chaal hai

ho billo rani

ho billo rani kaho to abhi jaan de doon

You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. ~Mark Twain

Its new year's eve and i'm trying to get this router to " work" grrrrrrrrr, hold on (chews on a piece of cake and ofcourse potato chips, damn no wonder i have a pimple on my nose). Late last night i was with Angilina Jolie and Uma Thurman ( cough cough) I have no idea why , but every Dec 31 , i fall sick. Something to do with everyone's adrenalin pumping up...( shrugs) , atleast its not like one of the friends that i know. You see, every last week of Dec-first week of Jan, one of his relatives, passes on to the other side or meets with an accident. I know I know you dont believe it, but i was there !!. Wait let me call him and find out if ...( thank god nothing bad has happened ;) ) Oh last night i was watching ToooombRaider( It's supposed to be pronounced that way: tooooom and not like Bomb) and Kill Bill, nothing to spice up your life with blood ,gore, a samurai sword and Uma aunty :) and at sharp 12, ( i fell asleep at 11.30pm) , there are shouts and i see that Uma aunty is fighting with 28 japanese kids and girls are "ooooooohing" . I wake up from my stupor, its that girls hostel ,,grrrrrrrr..dont they ever sleep. The boys hostel, boys (duh !!) were bursting crackers and the girls where watching it. So it sounds something like this .. ting ting toong , plaaaaachak, oooooooooooooooh, BOOM, ting tong , whack, ooooooooooooh , Booom. Yep sounds from Kill Bill and the girls hostel. Then i get a host(3) of messages , wishing me a happy new year and if its from one of my ex-students i would ..." GO STUDY !! GO GO" and ofcourse throw in a :) one smart @!#@ replied back saying, " My exams are over". And oh ! a couple of days ago I went to Anand's new house, an apartment situated right in front of a beautiful temple and the Malleswaram Railway station. Posh location .So all day long they have trains passing by and people ringing the bell " tong tong" and to top it he's got a 7 month old kid. She's so cute, she looked at me and smiled and didnt let go of my finger ;) .
