First Date

Yea we all have some memories and when it comes to our “first” date, we have the mushiest of memories …only I got something strangely different…….

If I were the typical romantic gal, I would have enjoyed this café, the pink walls, the old wooden look, the round coffee bar, the mushy old man by the counter with a warm smile spread on his face, nodding now and then…It was the first time I was on an official date and was hardly 15 and I was highly agitated with the ambience…
I never could appreciate the colour pink much and only then hemant or something close to that(oops I am bad with names) offered to get get me strawberry shake, i mean WHAT??
I politely said I will prefer a coffee instead and guess what…? He comes back with two cups and I could see that the old man was grinning quite widely… I wondered why…
And BOOM!! the coffees had one heart in each with S and H(initials for my name and his, if you didn’t already guess , dud…!!) and the thing that would catch your eye was an arrow going through the coffee… I mean HELLO!!!??
I have met you like twice before this and agreed to come out on a date doesn’t mean I am head over heels in love with you…!!!!!!!!!
Anyhow, I couldn’t make myself even look into that cup rest alone drinking it, so I excused myself to go to the ladies room and ZUPPP..! I flew away on my two wheeler…
Never heard from the guy again, thank God for that…!!

MALE EGO!!

Yes, i do love bikes, i Fascinate on smoking, i do love hanging out with friends late in the evening, i make it a rule to pay for myself, i feel offended if someone questions my capabilities, i feel agitated if i am given advices, and yes i abuse a lot...A LOT!!!!but hey don't we all have a bit of male ego in us...

i still love gossip, love getting dressed, love shopping, love being complimented on my looks(but men do too), love being centre of attraction.. this piece of information to clear up doubts ,if any, that guys...NO AM NOT A WANNABE BOY...!!! am as feminine as i can be with a jist of male ego...

DOWN THE BOOZE LANE

when we sat and drank yesterday evening and didnt stop till late after midnight,,,my heart went off for a stroll down memory lane..
mom always says no matter how much you hate a person,if once the person's been your drink mate,,you would bounce onto him with the first oppurtunity..
mom also says liquor is a weakness that she aint able to guage...
she also says, drink leads to most family problems...
hmm..
well i respect all of these things but i go back at once a booze mate, always a mate..:P
why me making such a deal outa being drunk is cause i got onto it after almost more than 18 months and whether you consider it or not, i consider it an achievemnet and gave myself the liberty to get tipped off by the sinful sparkling liquid..and lord...... heaven..
its a privelege to have good company to get high with and so i am priveleged to be married to a great booze mate and "blessed" to have friends who never misbehave after even the 5th glass down their throat...!!:D

having said that i raise a toast to all my booze mates and otherwise...
and with the risk of naming them,,,(please contact me asap if you need me to delete your name..:P)
at 16, a guy crazily in love with me arranged for a tincher full of liquor (a litre) and rups and me cracked up through out the night with hysterical laughs, hiccups, numbness and fits of giggles..!!!
and since then all my friends,tanvi,kshitij,anthony,jayant,pallavi, inna,rupa, anjali,kunal, candy, sam, vatsala,sameer,sonia,sandesh,khush, even the irritating darshini(the gal who peed on my bathroom floor and i ended up baby sitting her)rucha, bob, priya di, anand, rajesh manasie,'manoj and preeeti' whom i really miss,gaurang, dj nicky, richie,rahul,tapan,surbhi

, pranay, vijay, even amishi(wth)and above all bhai...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (a small mention for my in laws too..namoatter the differences, i enjoy your company too) HAVE UNDOUBTLY (EACH ONE OF YOU)LEFT ME WITH GOOD MEMORIES...
please forgive me if i have forgotton anyone's name... LET ME KNOW TOO,IF YOU WANNA
i havent mentioned FRANK coz he's too special for a mention..:P

even though the memories may have dazed, i thank you all for the companionship that was offered at that moment..hahahaha:P
CHEERS..!
and shivi i look forward to clinker glasses with you...:D

excellent SHOTS..!

some shots in the movies really make you admire the director..
the shot in 'mission kashmir' where the lil boy discovers the mask that sanjay dutt wore to kill his parents..the shot following that has such impact.. the boy wears the mask and is coloring sanjay dutt's photograph to identofy... if you see it closely the way the camera goes out and into focus is just amazing
also the shot in 'the village' where almost in the end the blind girl decides to go to the city to get medicines and the spastic guy wears the ghosts mask and is standing right next to her beside the tree, and the girl says' its all farse'..and is sweating frantically out of fear..!

ASTRO OBSSESSION..!!

by fact,all fire signs are interested in astrology and likes..but some of these people of whom i have some friends, go off board with astrology..of whatever little they have been fortunate enough to read bout astrological signs, they use it in referrence to every bit of a conversation..

one of these people, while frank was laughing, goes, typical scorpion laugh..and frank stopped laughing..!!!:P

there was a sale in westside and i picked a night suit which had 50 % off... and the teddies and hearts and flowers looked negligible in front of 50% on the suit... so i got it...when i wore it in front of another one of these friends of mine.. she goes typical aries you see..noone else would dare to buy a teddy bear night suit..only an aries can..!!!

i didnt wanna crumple her analysis but IT HAD 50% OFF ON IT,.........!!!I COULDNT EVEN SEE THE GODDAM TEDDIES..!!!!

i too am one of these people..at times i go off board but only when i have response from the other side(in my defence, i only go off board when the other side initiates..:P)

i too like to know that because am an aries, i am cool, immatured, independent, arrogant, smart, attractive, aggressive...and the likes...and i like knowing that saggitarians are the best match for aries coz my best friend's a saggi and it amuses me to know that scorpions and aries should have a rocky relationship when i see frank and me do so well...!!

but signs are signs ......... i sneeze like an aries, i smile like one, i dance like one and i even write like one...:D

the devil

the urge to do something you know you arent supposed to do is greater than the urge to scratch, when you enjoy doing what you arent supposed to do..!!!
last sunday i heard the father say, 'the devil is always at his work, and he does a good job'...'it is your job to abstain from the lure of the devil'...
if you think about this, what if there were a competition between the devils appointed on each one of us.. and it was incentive based.. it would be amusing to see which one is highest paid..!
everytime you give into smoking,,500 bucks to the devil
everytime you dont meet a deadline,1000 bucks to the devil...
everytime you are dishonest ,,750 bucks...!!!!
it would be easy money as they say..!!
and as i think of this and my hand goes out to light that fag, i wonder how much the devil just earned....!!!

DIALOGUES .!

i don't get it.. when those script writers pen down dialogues for movies,,,they must be going thru a lota pain to fill up a lot of moments...
but sometimes they end up with hillarious effects...
frank's and my favorite dialogue where we always without fail crack up or we always remember it as a referece to whenever we hear it again...

when in 'PARINEETA' saif thinks vidhya balan is married off to sanjay and is venting his anger out on the piano and sanjay comes and explains that he married the younger sister and not vidhya.... saif, after a moment of silence , asks,' ye maine kya kiya, ... ab mein kya karu'
i swear, you have to see the moment to understand why even the serious scene cracks us up....
after abusing sanjay and vidhya and showing temper,,, he asks sanjay what he should do next ...!!!

Move The Goddamn Cheek In Slow Motion

even though i have already dedicated a post on how kids never sieze to amuse me... here's another one..
2008 decembr,we were in orrisa for my cousin anusha di's wedding, lot of our relatives from the village had come.. one of my other cousin's daughter came upto Neil(my then 7 months old baby) and started stroking his cheeks softly with a finger..
she continued doing it till the time i started finding it a little amusing..coz she had a puzzled expression on her face..so i asked her what was it?


and she says,'why doesn't his cheeks move up and down like the baby in TV??'
we all started laughing and i said trying to explain that that baby's cheeks move like that because of slow motion,,not thinking that my explaination was another question for the six year old in front of me....
she started stroking his cheeks again,so i looked at her questioningly and she asks,' how do move the cheek in slow motion??'

NUTS!!?!

last sunday Father gave this sermon at the church that i thought was quite cool...


two kids buy a can of nuts and decide to divide it into two ,so that each of them get equal amount of nuts..
they sit inside a cemetry which was on the way so that they don't have to share it anyone else..
they opened the can and one of them started putting one nut each in front of them saying,'this one is for you and this one is for me'..
while they were at it, another buy passing the cemetry heard them and was horrified..he thought it is GOD AND THE DEVIL, who are sharing souls....and runs for his life......
on his way,he crashes into an old man and the man asks him whats the hurry,,,
the boy tells him that in the cemetry GOD n DEVIL are deviding souls..the old man waves the story off and tells the boy to buzz off..the boy asks him to come with him..

when they reach the cemetry, the boys were still sharing the contents of the can when two nuts roll away near the fence..one boy tells other, 'don't worry bout the two, when we are done with these, we will go pick those two nuts near the fence'...

the old man and the boy at the fence exchange looks of horror and run for their lives...
it is said that the old man reached much before the boy...!!!!
