Guys and Sense...

Someone wrote a comment: I don't deny there are girls like Kajal and yeah okay I admit, there are girls who go gaga over every-damn-cubic-inch-of-space-if-its-oh-cho-chweet... But, havent u ever met sensible girls?
Imagine this scene in a restaurant. Kajal is sitting on the next table to Rahul, talking to her friends. Kajal: This table looks so naked without the table cloth (she moves the hand on the table). Oh its so hot in here. Phew. (blows air) Rahul listens to this, few calculations in his head and he thinks Kajal said: I am naked and you are so hot. Remove that cloth and lie on the table.
Guys have all their thought process focused towards you-know-what... Cricket is more important than food. TV is more entertaining than the family. Guys are weird, believe me but girls are more.
Guys try very hard to keep their girl happy and to see the smile on their face but sometimes we don't get cooperation and the life goes for a toss. And then we do what we want to do. :-)
Like not bothering about anything and having fun. As I did in the last few days. Watched movies, read some book, did some diwali shopping, went for long drive with Shobana. She was scared to sit with me in the car. :-)
Saw Chupke Chupke by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. Fun filled. :-)
Golmaal again by Hrishikesh Mukherjee is one of the best comedy movies ever made in Indian Cinema.

Chashme Baddoor by Sai Paranjpe is the girl focused life of three bachelors.
Also bought a book by Chetan Bhagat. I loved his writing in Five Point Someone. Very normal english with loads of sarcasam and leg pulling put in, trying to describe the life of few friends. In the same way his second book, One Night @ a Call Center describes the life of 6 people. What the are going through, what problems they are facing, what they plan to do in life and how they are strggling to achieve that. Nice book to read.

And also gifted my chota cousin Deepu Singh with the biography of Rahul Dravid. There was a line written in he book which said:"The Nice guy who Finished First!" Book is by Devendra Prabhudesai and Deeepu is fully enjoying it. :-)
And yes my statement still remains that girls are stupid. They use their brains too much in a realtionship. If there is a problem then guys will try and solve it 50 times. Go back to the girl and patao her and try to make everything fine, sorry-sorry-sorry and all that. But if the 51st time the guy says "ok I am not going to go to her, I will wait for her to come back" believe me the relationship is over.
Pyar mein sau uljhanein hain, pyar mat karna. (Kini that was for you)
And yes Happy Diwali to everyone. :-) Try to burst less crackers and eat less sweets and try to pollute your city less. Some senible Hobbit told me this :-)

Pregnant mom in a hospital: I always wanted to take a trip around the world.
Guy about to reach office: I always wanted to quit a Monday morning.
Guy sitting alone in his home: I always wanted to swim with the whales.
Guy waiting for something.... (he doesn't know for what): I always wanted to........... (Wiggle of the toe...... )
Reclaim your life. Tata Safari Dicor.
Such advertisements make you think. Where am I heading??? Is this my life or someone is makes the rules and I follow them?? Is it time we start working out of the system??? Is it what I always wanted??? Is this life yours??? I never thought an advertisement could make me think so much.
GOD of all GODs!!!

Oh by the way I am not going to office. :-)

Graduated from 2 to 4

My mamaji presented me or rather said: "OK, you can drive this car" and made me graduate from a imported from Italy - Vespa Scooter to a local Indian made Maruti Suzuki. Thanks Mamaji.
:-) And this is my mamaji by the way.

Drove some 900 Kms, from Belgaum to Madras. On the way, saw some beatiful places and at one place I saw some 500 Wind mills and yes that place was really windy.

Crossed Nandi Hills near Bangalore.

And as soon I crossed Bangalore down came the rain. And it rained like crazy in the past few days in Bangalore and now its flooded. Thankfully I took other route through Tumkur, Kolar and Chittur.

One thing is for sure, Reliance is trying to bring in a new perspective to petrol pumps. Stopped on the way and this a beatiful Reliance petrol bunk, with Dhaba type facility. The food was great and also very cheap. And as soon as you get down from your car you are greated with a NAMASKAR, now this is called customer service. Ambanis have some grey matter.

Mamaji Thanks agian. :-)

Girls and Forget It...

Well girls are dumb... OK, that was a big statement but was trying to say girls make us feel dumb, most of the times, because of the stupid phrases and expressions. Why do you girls complicate things in any relationship?? Guys have everything straight, like: I want to do this / I don't want to do this/ This guy is good/ This guy is bad/ I like this food/ I don't like this food.
Now for girls it is very complicated to be simple and very simple to be complicated, and if we poor rahuls of Earth don't understand what the brain of the fairer sex means (i.e. most of the times) the answer is FORGET IT. Girls have something like :
  1. Kajal: You know my mom's cousin sister's brother's daughter's goldfish died. Rahul: What?? Kajal: forget it, I am not explaining anything. You dont even understand simple things. Even my cousin who is 4 years old can understand this. Dont you have feelings for animals and insects and fishes? How can you be so cruel? (Rahul buys a cow and now milks it everyday)
  2. (Rahul and Kajal go out to eat) Rahul: What will you like to have? Kajal: You know what I like. You order for me. Rahul: Ok one aloo gobi and two dal. Kajal: You know I dont like aloo gobi. Rahul: I asked you na? Kajal: Forget it. Just forget it. You have been with me for the past 12 months and you dont even know what I like to eat and what I dont like to eat? What kind of boy friend are you? It would hve been better if I had this waiter as my boy friend. (*Kazam* Waiter disappers )
  3. (Kajal's exams got over today. She expects a phone call from Rahul. Rahul is caught in some other work and he didnt call. He calls after 1 hour)Kajal: You know my exams got over I was expecting a call from you and wanted to go out. Rahul: I was with my mom, she took me for diwali shopping. Kajal: Forget it. You never understand my feelings. Your mom is more important and what about my feelings? Rahul decide you want mom or me? Do you like hurting my feelings? (Rahul curses Ram for coming back from Sri Lanka. Damn Diwali!! Damn shopping!!)
  4. Kajal: Today is my friend's birthday, I want you to come to party. Rahul: No Kajal I have important meeting. Kajal: Forget it. I am not going to call you ever for any of my friends parties. You go and do your stupid meetings. (Rahul enjoy great dinner after the meeting with his boss, who happens to be a hot chick)
  5. Rahul calls Kajal: Hey Kajal, we can go for a movie tonight? Kajal: No Rahul I want to go to the beach. Rahul: But Kajal I bought tickets for Swades, please lets go. Kajal: How many times have I told you I dont like Shahrukh Khan movies? Just tell me how many times? You never understand me, never. Just forget it. I am staying home, you can go watch your Shahrukh Khan alone. (Rahul goes alone and watches the movie in peace. He thanks god for a wonderful day )
  6. Kajal: You know the girl Poonam in my class she is a real flirt and she talks to every guy in a way where the guy gets attracted to her. Today she banged into one guy and her dupatta kept falling of her shoulders. (Rahul is least interested in this conversation, he is having his desert and is nodding his head) Are you listening Rahul? Rahul: What?? Kajal: Forget it, I think I am talking to the walls. (Kajal gets up and walks away, Rahul can now eat the desert and enjoy it too)

Girls, may be we don't understand you but saying "Forget It" doesn't help us either. A simple NO would be better. I would request all the Kajals to please use the word NO liberally, we take that answer more sportingly, rather than the phrases YOUR WISH, FORGET IT, IT SEEMS, MAY BE, I DON'T THINK SO, I DON'T KNOW, REALLY?? HUH??, IF THATS WHAT YOU THINK and expressions which confuse the poor Rahuls of the earth.

Dear All...

Recently there have been many people posting comments on my blog, some quite funny, some quite useless, which make me smile... I really don't mind any comments on my blog, really dont mind, as long as they are not targetted towards me... Little leg pulling is always welcome... :-)
But only some special friends have the privilege they can say anything to me... Kini you can... Rest please wait...
And some of my dear friends have tried being Shiv Sena and have tried to act smart by posting the others stupid threats... I have deleted the comments... I can say anything to anyone, if I want to, on my blog... No one needs to be the moral police here... I would be very thankful if they just stay away... If they want to fight, this is not the right place... If you want you can enjoy the fun or you can stay away or just post a comment...
As the architect of the Matrix says: "The problem is choice... "

Cafe Coffe Day at Indra Nagar, Adyar

CCD has opened up a new place at Indra Nagar Road, Adyar. I would say this is the best CCD in Madras. Took some photos yesterday with my camera phone.

The Cafe Coffee Day Lobby, check out the sitting couches. Really really comfortable. As they have opened this in a residential area unlike Anna Nagar and Ispahani Center, they have brought in couches rather than filling the area with small small chairs.

It has got awesome lighting. Just see this photo. Beatiful Lighting.

And also the studs come for coffee. As you can see, Tullu the Rock Star in this photo and I am sitting with my cup in the next. I would love to see the girls coming here as the handsome guys have already arrived. ;-)

Me and Coffee

A lot can happen over a cup of coffee. Who knows. :-)

Bye Bye Ganguly...

When there was no one saving India then came GOD, he gave Ganguly the gift of Tennis Elbow. A great era has come to an end.

Only two jobs are of any consequence in India. The Prime Minister's and the cricket captain's. In other words, the captain has a high-pressure, media-intrusive job. No wonder, every Indian skipper goes through a bad phase, but Ganguly didnt play for 2 years and the team didn't do well for the last one year, so it was time.
If Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, Mohammed Kaif and Irfan Pathan are doing India proud today, it's because Dada backed them through thick and thin. Ganguly may not be great in making field placements, marshalling bowling changes or chalking out strategies. But he is an expert in man management. Words such as 'groups' and 'camps' have vanished from the Indian dressing room.
Ok enough of him now and we have Dravid as captain and all the best to him.
The squad for the coming one day series is, Rahul Dravid (captain), Virender Sehwag (vice-captain), Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Venugopal Rao, Suresh Raina, M S Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh, Murali Karthik, Irfan Pathan, Ajit Agarkar, J P Yadav, Sree Santh, R P Singh, Gautam Gambhir.
Watch out for Sree Santh and all the best to the Indian team.

Belief

Amrinder, he is mera chota bhai. Came down to Madras for 2 days for an interview with Siemens. Most probably he will get through. He is stud in academics.
Mom would say : Dekho Dekho, he looks so smart in turban. Mom's never change. :-)
Well being a sikh and getting a hair cut is like commiting a sin, infact I am not a Sikh anymore, more like an outcast.
Do we really need to follow a religion if we have to believe in GOD? Me and Amrinder are brothers and I still pray the way my parents taught me. I can pray better than a sikh who goes to the Gurudwara everyday or a Muslim who goes to a Mosque everyday, what I mean is GOD will listen to me even if I don't follow any religion. Is following religion so important? Just wanted to know what you think. Because of different religions and casts our society has been divided and wanted to know has religion ever helped anyone? Feel free to comment.
A very happy "Dushehra" to everyone, posting these lyrics from the song Pal Pal Hai Bhari, from the movie Swades.
Ram Hi To Karuna Mein Hai, Shanti Mein Ram Hain
Ram Hi Hai Ekta Mein, Pragati Mein Ram Hain
Ram Bas Bhakton Nahin, Shatru Ke Bhi Chintan Mein Hain
Dekh Taj Ke Paap Raavan, Ram Tere Man Mein Hain
Ram Tere Man Mein Hain, Ram Mere Man Mein Hain
Ram To Ghar Ghar Mein Hain, Ram Har Aangan Mein Hain
Man Se Rawan Jo Nikale, Ram Usake Man Mein Hain
