ANALYSIS

I have a little extra time...so i thought i might as well do a litlle analysis about myself, and so i did...then i had a little more time...so i thought why not post the analysis on the blog...so here it goes

First off ...the object of analysis cant be randomn...so took up one particular perspective...i told myself.."Why not analyse my fears"...and by doing that i have overcome my first fear...which was analysis my fears...now that it is out of the way lets get down to one by one my fears

1) FEAR OF DRIVING

This is amazing.....the dream to be able to drive ..... stands right besides winning a booker, but yes..i am afraid of driving...every time i picture myself driving i see myself falling or driving off the road or worst driving into some huge vehicle....i'd think it has someting to do with the incident when i learnt to drive a cycle and ended up hitting a truck and the wheel of the truck screeching to a stop and inch or two from my face....i still wake up scared from sleep with that tyre in my eyes.

2) FEAR OF SWIMING

guys i cant get near water!!....nopes....i can put my feet in water...or wet them in the beach...but swiming?? no!!...Again i picture myslef as only drowing and being saved....i am best suited to be one of those saved by the ladies in Baywatch..:-)

3) FEAR OF USING ATM MACHINES

This is tricky...i fear that someone might use the machine after i leave to take money from my account...what if the machine spews torn notes??...what if the card doesnt come out?...what if the money doesnt come out but still gets debitted from the account.??....I once used the ATM when vineet and arvind forced me to...but i havent gone into that booth alone....jus cant get myself to do it..

4) FEAR OF ONLINE TRANSACTION

this...is ....jus....too...complicated.....dont know why...lots a things can go wrong...will surely...truly...stay away from this!!

there u have it fears.....they are there....u may think they r dumb...but then thats me..

the mind of a masochist.

Its been a very tiresome day so far.
8 a.m -- got up - got woken up actually by two phone calls -
first 'ani cell' :D and then my mother -- wishing me on my b'day (as per the Star)!!

11 a.m -- after the phone calls, slept further and finally got up (got bored sleeping).

11.15 a.m -- Got ready, called up Abdul for breakfast. He had just gotten up too so I decided to wait for him. I continued reading 'Freakonomics' - by Lewitt.

12.30 p.m -- After getting bored reading that crap, finally went had a dosa and headed for work.

1 p.m -- checked mail,scraps, headed for lunch.

3 p.m -- rite now very utterly jobless. Thinking of going for this movie Ice Age 2( 5:30 show).

bit confused, bit tired ( crap!! Arsenal in the final's of the CL - man if they win I dont wanna watch football anymore :-( )

-- signing off - apologise for the lousy post!

and if ure still wondering why that title - sorry I dont know either.

Friday Evenin Syndrome

After another mundane week which I had to painfully endure, came Friday. With all her glory that she carries unfailingly every shabuwa, I could see her sense of enthusiam transceding upon me as I lay jobless at my desk. The clock was ticking and it was already 6:30 PM, when the inner voice actually woke up 'Wut da fuck is you doing with your Friday evening? Is you gonna waste all yer Friday evenin sittin in front of this no good T.V?"... It's a computer, I correct my inner voice with frustration. "Wut do I know? I is wut I is - jus a black inner voice." Man, i'd rather take a break from this shit anyway. Ham and Avi pitch in (after a lot of lobbying with the so called penniless ham) and we decide upon doing somethin which we are best at doing. Thronging the movie halls!!! And we decide upon going to 'underworld Evolution' , inspite of those fuckedup ubiquitous posters all around the city. I gave avi a choice between rendition and perdition (Underworld Evolution and Being Cyrus), he preferred to get rended than to get purged with a signature lazy dialogue "Maaan....I don wanna see those typa movies da....some ["pause" ] fuckedup asshole would have taken the movie for some fucked up shit and v'll be stuck in the theatre watching some["bigger pause"] blah-blah" did u get a head or tail from that line? neither did I and neither have I over the years. Out in the restaurant with ham, the inevitable topic comes into limelight-'Ham's Obsession with food'. I was genuinely happy when he ordered a plate of parotta and paya only to realize that the catch lay in the paya. When I saw the wholesome chunk of mutton, the little hope when crashing down his belly. And so we get into the hall and get comfortable in our seats and begin our no good Bosch about the tabooed sexualities and start cooking up accusations about each other - murdering our reputation to tatters. We were profane enough to relocate a couple sitting in the front row, and the palaber came to a grind when the trailor of The DaVinci Code left us spell bound...did I say spell bound? then MI3 and Pudhupettai blew us away(avi and me that is, coz with ham it would be technically impossible). Nothing special about the actual movie though...just lots and lots of blood sucking, memory storage by the gallons, confusing people and even more confusing sexual orientation(jus for the kicks what would happen if a half werewolf half vampire screw a complete vampire)...and there came our Friday endeavor to brighten up the ever dulling sides of our lives...and yeah before I forget, on the way back home ham and I were discussing if avi had the balls to shoot his own ass, now the question comes why would someone require balls to...hmmm ok nevermind..."shik" them all man

MISS-UNDERSTOOD !!!

Many a time people get misunderstood in their lives , sometimes its not so funny. So when you read this please be nice and do feel sorry for me.

We were at this friend's place for a SRISHTI meeting, and good ol Srinath wanted to have con puffs for snacks, so me and another buddy got on a bikle and went to a grocery store nearby.

we stopped and he waited across the street while i headed towards the store.
I reached there panting, as i had to run to cross the road ....
A group of aunties with long lists for items to buy were waiting for the lone shopekeeper to bring them groceries out one by one....
As the shopkeeper was far inside i shouted out "Anna one pack con puffs!!"
without any thougt the guy shouted back "Condoms medical store sir"
Now the aunties stopped looking at their lists and gave me a dirty look...
"No Anna For snacks" i said more slowly facing away from the aunties
"No sir No sex no condom" his reply came back...damn the dumb aunties heard what he said and not what i said....the world chooses what it wants to hear...and they get what they want served on a platter, for just at that instant my friend from across the street shouted out "Com'on da, hurry up, cant wait!"
Thats when the Aunties took a step backward
I am sure they had much to talk after i took my flight away from the store of misunderstandings...

She's got the look

there's this pretty thing near my place :-)... head turner, forever sensual.
y'day nite I had this wonderful dream -
me and her on my Unicorn, swaying one side then the other, me gushing in glory - she looking pretty as a daisy and the moment was forever! we were out to lunch together and things could'nt get better!

All this to end, with a whisper and then a thud - 'Abey toothpaste kahan par hai' ( was Ham who was in hyd for the weekend).Feeling deprived and cursing Ham abudantly, I had to wake up and go on with my early morning chores.

Today morning, had this bright idea - went up to her and ( btw I havent indulged in any kind of a conversation with 'the pretty one' ever) said --
"Hey u know - had this dream yday - U and I, on my bike, going out to lunch! what say - game for a Deja Vu? "
She looked up, gave me that look (oh! boy) -- a nod of approval -- said
" u're right - You really need some sleep"

(meanwhile i'm back at my desk!)

LIKE A DREAM

It was awesome ...and thats the word....but the sad part was that we had to part, ...but then again no one ever realizes the worth of somethin unless its lost, and thats so true...its been long time since i had so much fun....i guess we owe it to the fact that we guys have such boring lives other than the time we spend together..and so we let it flow when the time is ripe....its a damn short life ....and i guess i have made enuf good friends to last me twice over... The fun got magnified cuz arvind agreed to come....the rock pubbing and all night boozin added magic to the whole experience ...also the fact that i had someone with me during the return journey was heartening....

Now i am back to mundane routine of job-weekend-job.....waiting with a baited breath for the mega one in may....it will be the celebration of a decade of accosiation..will continue to post...

btw...vineet lost a game of pool to the master himself(me) :-)))

The trip to the Sheher of Nawabs

The 12th of April 2006, started off on a what I thought would be just another fun trip to hyderabad, which turn out to be on wild trip through the memorable memory lane. My fellow traveler the insightful Ham was busy reading some piece of crap about 'A curious incident about a dog in the night time' - man...people do read shit. Actually ham blurted out something really insightful during the trip (Sure it was one of the drifted flukes) which made little sense at that time - 'every time we guyz (us 4 crusaders from s.b.o.a) meet up no matter how long the separation is, we start off exactly from the same point where we had left off earlier without the usual humbug like "wassup dude" or "howz life" and crap like that'. This little piece of no-brainer actually made sense to my macaronis till the point when we actually met Vineet in hyderabad after years and years of not meeting up. We hit off right from that moment - accusing ham of something which we always enjoy doing (I bet he is as well :)) and he rebuking every statement with his whacky ol' lines...that's when I realized we really had it in us and it dawned on me that distance or time did'nt really matter when it came to us guyz. I'd say I thought this trip's gonna take off real good when I met vineet...but I was proved wrong it turned out to be AWESOME.

Joe Sat -- do I hear you

So what'd we do Sunday evening :D??
After a lavish lunch at 'Koyla', we guys went shopping - for optics er sunglasses.
Wait it aint nothing ordinary - I was heading towards the Ray Ban counter to check 'em out - yeah 't classic aviator RayBan shades'.

After a lot of confusion, indecision and thoughful intervention we decided to buy them -
a neat classic RayBan - size 55 - price 2.7k :-)

And as i strode out of the 'Shoppers Stop mall ...wearing my new RayBan shades -- I couldnt help but notice a hint of delight on my face....unreal!
There was this neat looking chic ( 'hard core soft porn babe') --- she looked my side, slowly turning away to smile and softly whisper "Maverick" :D :D :D!!!

....and wondering as I ride back home - showing off my new 'claim to fame', listenting to the Top Gun anthem being played in the background(enjoying this moment of bliss).

return to innocence

Life and times of these thorough gentlemen may never cease to amaze you, but just for one moment -- look at them and ponder ....u will realize there is "God" in you too!
