:) and i spill the peanuts all over the floor...

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building,write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations,analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.-Robert A. Heinlein

 I think he missed out on cleaning the dishes, taking out the garbage, cooking that perfect meal,smiling to yourself when you are in a crowd thinking of that special someone, shopping for sarees and going “ I didn’t know that color even existed “ ,writing that perfect line, trying to hold onto 4 packages and talk on the phone concurrently..the list goes on…. 

Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale. 

Want to hear the rest of the story?

Come and meet the Prince and the Princess …ok ok .it must be the magic mushrooms that I ate yesterday. 

I am marrying Mythili

on the 7th of May and of course I’ll be singing

Oh - once in your life you find someone

Who will turn your world around

Bring you up when you're feelin' down ;) 

And so I graciously invite you and your family to be a part of my wedding and shower us with blessings.

"If only God would give me a clear sign. Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank!" - Woody Allen.

I’m trying to put on some weight and so its bye bye brrom brrrrrom and back to the bus. Its been 3 months since I stopped using the bus and the driver was so happy and everyone had just one question “ Hello !! Bus pass idiya ? “ ;)

 

The first 2 days I just slept like a rock, and 60 minutes of blissful sleep really keeps me going for the rest of the day. So on the 3rd day, I sit next to the driver and decide to have a chat with him. He’s a nice bloke and he drives a bit rash( like all BMTC drivers) but dil ka bahut kamal ka aadmi hain. We talked about politics, roads, development, Non veg, Brahmins, the monsoons , accidents, one of the other drivers, the boring passengers , the Volvo buses , the Metro and its impact on BMTC drivers. I found that he had a good sense of humor and was plain and simple. He even told me anecdotes of how he went to get his DL in a lungi :) and how he drove for 3 continuous days so that he could earn Rs 2000 extra. I liked his tag line “ You have to work until you have the strength to do so.

He even told me that he has some 100 acres of land in Shimoga.. Amidst a conversation he asked me if I was a brahmin, when I shook my head to indicate no, he said that I looked like one ..I gave him a grin ;)

Well he then went on to say how Brahmin folks were not cut out to be drivers. That was interesting. All this time I was laughing and joking and I turn and look at the fellow passengers , uff half of them were sleeping and the other half gave me a look which could have melted ice cubes…..people!
