I am here

Heylo everyone!

I have a suggestion to make...lets stop using the word plan (at least on the blog). As it becomes a Moo Point (ala Joey). Whatever thts decided on this space never materialises. So lets stick to conventional mediums like phones and SMS to decide what we plan to do.

Anyways TC was good fun as usual great music. With regard to bumping into people, I shall leave it to Nidhi and Uncle to elaborate on that as they will surely have a field day describing it (especially Uncle).

TC needs bigger table and need to keep chairs far away from the table for Uncle. Poor guy cudnt fit into a chair! And not exaggerating..nidhi can be an eyewitness!

Mufti has given me strict warning of not mentioning baby on the blog anymore...he will sending out personal requests to people who make lewd but true comments about her.

Where is every1

Helloz....why isnt any1 writing yaar....I know it was monday yest....and after the lovely weekend of planning and 'coordinating' for Da Vinci...and nothing happ....monday wud have been more blue.....for me it was....its like there was no wkend....too many things happ on too many clients....HP is launching their new campaign called hands,and a lot of jazz things too like biometrics, skins for computers etc....Uncle will have more things to sell now ;).....

But I think we shud learn from Uncle....he went for X Men - III alone....no coordination, no planning...just got up and went....way to go uncle....and thats the way I think all of us shud be....mayank also went yest with his dearest.....lil' bro tried but dint get the tickets....honestly I dont think that we shud plan so much for movies....it v diffi to get 9 ppl to agree on one show timing and one theatre....and we just end up missing on movies....

Saturday TC was apparently a lot of fun....I was playing good boy so cudnt go....but Uncle was supp to put in on the blog...my bro's meeting with Mote's "sister".....Motu are u reading...or still at the mantralaya ;).....and so was lil' bro....on why uncle had to change seats ;).....Bobby's friend Nonu, who became NoNo at Buzz got rechristened again on Saturday....this time it was Monu by Nidhi ;)

I,mayank and nidhi went for Fanaa that day....BAD movie.....if ur getting tickets for free then u shud go.....like we did....otherwise ghaati movie....I just cant belv that Aamir Khan did a movie like this....Mayank will write a review today....he has been planning since sat....its a case of
"blog-fright" I think ;)

Okay peoples....write sthg yaar....waise hi life itni boring hai....dont add to it by not writing :)

R.I.P. BPCL

No one could have more impact on BPCL m sure...mota training people...man that is one of the best jokes I have heard in a really long time...I wonder how the day would go.....Mota will get up around 12....call the students that he had a concussion and doctor ne sui lagayi hai.....then tell them ki pahunch raha hoon yaar.....smoke a cigg....pelo a triple lunch.....and then take a nap with his phone switched off....get up and call them to say ki kal pakka aaonga,samjha kar yaar....

Instead of Bihar Idol it should be called Kam ya Zyaada....and the choice of judges is bang on....I am ready to do PR for free ;)....

If last week she wasnt upto it toh this week it'l be even more diffi....woh din door nahi hai when v'l hear ki some1 at adidas was killed....her boss is treading some dangerous ground man...but this week no1 has written on the blog also....everything ok at the White House na...no posts from there....

Lets meet up this wkend but pakka....no more bhaav khaoing....

God Save BPCL!!

Wishes time....first of all a very happy b'day to Mufti dear...and then all the best to BPCL employees in Pune...As Birthday Man is going to Pune this weekend to take a training session!!..yes u read it rite! In his own words.. "Yaar..Pune office mein koi fite hai...so the company is sending me to sort out things"...Whoah! Looks like BPCL was abt to shut down in Pune and now they have put the final nail in the coffin!

While talking on the phone with me...Birthday Man had a call on the other line..and he conveniently told the other person..."bahut garmi hai...mantralaya mein hoon" while he had parked his ass in his AC bedroom and was reading about Shevchenko's immiment move to the Russian Army.....Now this is what we call life!Khao piyo...aish karo Mittron!

Arre...Uncle has been missing for quite sometime now...Cant make jokes on ur appetite dude as u arent here...but still on ur recent visit to Bihar...hope u came close to beat the Bihar record of eating 70+ rossogollas after dinner! Mebbe you could sell the idea to a TV channel of starting a "Bihar Idol" on the lines of hogging as much food as u can! With Mufti and you being the judges and the role of Farah Khan can go to....ummmm....ur guess is as good as mine!;) And btw there is a race in France this weekend....mebbe we can see Nicole Kidman this time in Relault's pit!

I think its my turn to do some drama this weekend of not doing anything as in someone else's words "I am not up for it"..seriously i am too frickin tired...neways ppl who wanna come do come...no more cajoling and pattaoying to come somewhere.....jisko aana hai aao...nahin toh suit yourself!

Think i wrote too much...time to shut my trap and get back to work!

Baby's Boy

It is the Happy Birthday of our dear Baby's Boy...not that u guys dont remember but still.....spoke to him last nite and to make uncle feel better he is 27 now ;)...uncle is coming tonite I think....and thx to his last post on the blog we all shud go out somewhere tomorrow nite....although wat uncle wud pref wud be lots of daaru and m'mind at south ex...right buddy :)....where we go doesnt matter but lets do sthg...but lets go defi....

Kal Mamu called with info on a great quiz site...and m quite surp that he hasnt put the link on the blog...I was outta office the whole day yest and m levng today also....big time crisis on a client....so in case mamu doesnt I'l find it put it on....the 2 q's he asked me on the fone were awesome...bhasad quiz it sounded....

Nidhi has some passes for Fanaa tonite 7.30 show,courtesy Air India....but dont know if me and lil bro will be able to make it....mayank is very keen...so lets c....no news on Da Vinci...when r v watching it.....I'l be in del 2nd half t'row...and so will be minks...so maybe we can look at t'row eveng for Da Vinci.....

mubarakan....

The frequency of people posting stuff has come down...some havent started was expected from George mamu but Monkey....tu chup kyon baitha hai....kuch to SWEEP laga...boss coming to delhi this weekend...kuch plan karo yaar.....lucknow for tht matter UP mein pak gaya hoon. Have found a damn neat house its a new on.....as in 3 BHK....i know i dont need such a big house but damn neat and its not very expensive here so thot will go for it. Though i am sure i am not going to have visitors here. Aur bhai DOUBLE brothers ( Double Sandwich and double Promotion) now it calls for a double treat. Mota's rejection of Swati has ensured further senti calls from him with crap talk about baby.....i think we should adhere to the formula devised by Abhaas..Anubhav and me.....jaise hi bakwaas shuru...ek do gali do aur phone rakh do....chalo lets have some bhasad contribution even if its on uncle's appettite or spotting celebs.....cya all soon...

Da Vinci please

I am sure Nidhi can manage tickets yaar....adidas ke jasoos kone kone mein hain ;)...esp jahan jahan pvr hai....so plz try for Da Vinci...Aamir is watchable ne time...but the story is so beaten to death types...and Kajol, that too looking so dumb acting blind ....lets say naa to fanaa....


Hope Kosal finds a kool place in c'garh....atlst v'l get a wkend getaway....btw sopke to mufti yest....swati has escaped but he says that the reason that he gave was ki wavelength nahi match huyi...10 min ki talk mein mota wavelength bhi match karna chahta tha ;)....and the 2nd reason is the obv one ;)....to which his family (obv his mom) said ki faltu baatein mat karo :))....


But mufti has a very valid point...lets go to kanha....10-11 june is a wkend....lets go then....ohh but the nidhi is in goa then....so mebbe v can plan for 17-18th....kaafi time hai lets do it yaar...everyone can plan their chutti too....if v can deci on the date then I can speak to Dad and try and get the stay free....or if not free then down to the minimum...so that'l take care of the costs also....


Party is defi due...although the massive hike sounds more massive than it actually is....but m not complaining at all :)....I toh was thinking of gng for a movie and then drinking at south ex...v can go out to a nice (read expensive) place when the money actually comes in i.e. in July....


Why isnt Mamu writing yaar....monkey toh is lazy but I'l get after him to write sthg today....come on pplz....write sthg...

i hate doctors (barring the ones who live in london and leave their house to us). Have a night shitf..today, tomorrow..the day after the dat and the day after that!! so basically till the docotrs stop netagiri get back to work, i out of the loop.

Another weekend...more plans

Greetings pplz…got to know from George that there’s a plan to party at our favourite watering hole tonite. Just hope ya’ll know that Elevate has a rock fest of sorts for the next 3 weekends. Today Them Clones, Nakshatra and Havens are playing. Nakshatra and Them Clones play ok type covers…Just hope they don’t play their original numbers..no clue on the kind of music Havens plays.......

Next week Parikrama and some other bands are playin..If we have to go for this rock fest then going next weekend will be a better idea rather than going today. I don’t want to pay double the entry fee only to hear music that I’ve never heard before.. If its ok with evyone lets think of some other place plz........

Also, if ultimately there’s no plan like most other weekends (We have historical data to support this finding so nothing to feel bad about!) would be nice if at least the women are told about it instead of us having to chase all you guys to check if ya’ll be kind enuf to indulge us only to be told in the nite tht there’s no plan and da few good men are happy in each others company. Not nice!

weekend plans

Though I am sure whatevr discussions on this space about weekend plans turn to be futile...whats the harm in saying it once more?

Its far off i know...but me and bro back on friday..and kaushal as well is cmng bak on the same day...lets go out somewhere...Da Vinci Code is releasin...i am not missing it!..in fact just turned down two passes for free show in DT...

and yeah if anyone gets the chance to see it...then dont miss it...if we start waiting for all us to watch it together..then it wont ever happen...so dont feel guilty or anything...go ahead and watch it!

Anyways mamu...motu not cmng on wed now..he is here on thu..so look for a place to watch the final!dont trust ur cable walah....goto Radisson and have uncle's company for the finale...he is good luck charm for arsenal...but the condition is he has to be enthu at 11.30 and should doze off by 12.10!!

See ya ppl on the weekend....hopefully

Off to bhopal

As you all may know me and lil' bro are off to bhopal for the next 2 days....uncle is busy at radisson in a conf and kosal has left for c'garh....he left early morning....hope the busy guy gets some sleep 'coz he was on the fone till 1.30 last nite ...do I have to write with whom ;).....

Uncle mite go home this wkend....lagta hai is baar shaadi pakki ho hi jayegi....which reminds me Mota is also here on 17th....I heard Mota is very upset with Kosal for what he wrote about Baby on the blog...."Kaushal se baat karne ka toh toh matlab hi nahi banta yaar,tch tch tch" is what he was heard saying ;)....m sure after he reads my post he'l +vely hate me ;).....come on Kop Anfield....u've got enough footage on the blog..mission accomplished na ;)....ab kuch likho bhi

Where is the Adidas yaar....agreed that u cant post from office but make some use of the 22k u spent on ur comp at home na....or maybe she is just busy speed dialling ;)....waise bhi talk time offers are getting better by the day ;)..... Hope u are not angry or sthg....even if u r write na :)

No1 has written nethg abt the wkend plans....actually no1 has written nethg....come on guys thoda sa time toh we can take out na....btw just wanted to check with u guys if I can invite Bobby and Pallavi to the blog as members.....I know no1 will object but was just trying to live up to the spirit of democracy ;)....so lemme know....

Ok, Tu Tu till fri then....plz kuch plan karo wkend ke liye :)

lovely lovely monday morning :)

nice to be back to work.. esp with doctors on strike.. its a busy day.. (for ppl who think i work for 3 hours day) bahut boring weeknend tha.. after 5 days of planning on the blog.. kuch nahin kya..

Masters of the Mind

Monday blues

Yet another monday....btw the weekend was good, atlst on the blog...the "ass man" finally got time to post...and a funny one at that.....George and Condi are still missing...and Laura's post was a good one too....as far as the Air Supply thing goes....George called me in the morning to ask directions but dint tell me that us plebians could come for the concert, or I wud have taken time out ;)....neways dont think I missed out on much.....thanks 1st Lady on the updates on the food joints... :)


Uncle is still here, after postponing his departure twice....and must say his post shud have had a bibliography in the end ;)....come on uncle buck up man.....


Vid dont take offence but no1 knows who ur boss is and who her boss is, and I dont think ne1 is interested also ;).....I agree that u have to get it out of your system but u can drop "God is in detail" when ur writing such things....


I know why Mota isnt contributing....m sure he is too disturbed with the "sexplicit" scenes baby is doing...Ankahee looks like a brilliant business deal but....the director just bought all the tapes of Aftab and Esha making out ;) and made a movie out of it....too bad none of us will sympathise with him....but Kop Anfield is in town from 17th onwards....apparently he is coming to reject a girl ;)....so lets plan sthg for this wkend atlst....HS peoples can u find the sthg the about the Elevate ;).....


BTW a friend of mine is looking for a job in the telecom sector...he has abt 4 yrs exp with the Bharti group...so in case any1 comes across sthg, plij let me know.....


What news on appraisals for all of u guys...the scene in my office is very similar to Laura's.....appraisals are supp to happen....since 1st week of may they have been p'poning....lets hope it happens this week.....

truth,lies and little malice

:(((((((((
my boss..no..my super boss... as in the Associate Editor.. who never bothers to talk to 'keeda' reporters like me.. physically came in and yelled at me!! why? because my boss decided to make her boss happy.. but her boss (the asso editor)was not happy with what my boss made me do.. so..eventually.. sabne mujhe aage kar diya jab gaali khane ki baari aayi!!!
tch! did you guys read abt the medical students' strike? well, most of our editors were stuck in the traffic jam because of the strike.. so ..my boss told me re-write my copy, and focus on how the students brought the city to a standstill... which i reluctantly did. At 10.30 .. the asso editor ..came in and told me..that main point about the strike and health services being paralyzed is in the fourth para!! and my immediate boss didnt even bother to say that she made me do so!!! aarrrgghhhh


Masters of the Mind

With Malice towards one and all

Air Supply

So how was the concert?? I am sure it must have been passable to say the least...they aren't that bad a band actually...neways Poseidon is supp. to be good. Somebody in office saw an exclusive show last nite and said it was a nice action type of movie.

Anyways lets find a sasta sunder place to eat...uncle is coming tomm. morning i suppose...he woke me up at 8 by asking "aaj ka kuch plan hai kya"..i dont remember what i told him or what he said...but i faintly recall he said he will come tomm. morning!

Masters of the Mind

aaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh
bahut it boring din hai aaj ka..and khatm bhi nahin ho raha!! just 7.30!! aaj meri byline story mein idiots on the desk gv a wrong headline... basically arth ka anarth ho gaya! and that doctor (jisne stroy di thi) called me at 7 in the morning to say dat 'aapko atory samajh nahin aayi thi toh aap pooch lete'!!

anyways.. m trying to get in touch with this fraud NGO..Khushi.. jo rahat fateh ali khan ka concert org kar raha hai... if something works out tis great.. warna.. tkts saste hue toh khareed lete hain.. i mean..after all NGO hai..



Masters of the Mind

Another excruciatingly long and boring day is thankfully coming to an end. George is coming to Gurgaon but we're going for the Air Supply concert thanks to the free passes that his company has donated...incidentally George has 4 extra passes but I heard that the rest of the Gang in this part of NCR was too busy to come along.You plebeians will never learn to appreciate the finer things! Par Air Supply itna dheela band hai...ki woh hamesha rote hi rehtein hain. Will tell you tomorrow how it was.
No plan for Saturday yet...I'm ok with Ice Age unless the macho dudes have some other option.
p.s Aabhas..your version of the George and Laura story sounds more believable. Bhai's story was too diplomatically correct to be true..knowing our jingbang, they can't have such a well thought out reason behind these crooked names;-)
btw...went to Sartori last week, ok food..bloody expensive..I think we should rule that out. Bernados' in Gurgaon is a good option but strictly for extra chicken eaters...For the veggies not much variety really. Will speak to some of my HS colleagues and come back with some restaurant options tomorrow.Lets try and go to a place that has dal chawal on the menu. My Nanu is not supposed to have any spicy food for the next two weeks atleast as per the doctors recommendation. And i'm going to get killed for writing this:-)
Some bhasad happened at office also..one of the partners has quit and the other two are busy explaining to all and sundry that it wasn't because of them and was an amicable separation..Crazy times..one partner suddenly walks off and leaves! Useless piece of gossip...just felt like tellin all of you. M off to the concert now..time to shut shop here...hope thoda kam rona dhona karenge Air Supply log...Catch ya'll tomorrow.

Sorry all, dint check the date for the maxim party....so where is the blog-gang today....every1 seems to be busy....even I bunked a smoke break and m writing....

We havent got any ideas on saturday which thankfully is coming closer :)...one more day 2 go...although t'row is really bad for me...the entire day m in a training workshop for a client....so pleej think of wat we can do...

Btw George is coming to gurgaon today i think...he called for some directions....maybe we can meet in g'gaon today then....wat say Laura :).....
Well..got passes in the office for the Maxim party...but it allows only two people to enter..and there is only one pass...so dont think we can head there..and plus if i am not wrong its tonite..so not possible i guess!

Some Gatesian Thoughts :)

Bill Gates, co-founder and chairman of the world's largest software company, Microsoft Corporation, is also the world's richest man. His personal wealth has been estimated at $50 billion (Rs 225,000 crore).

Amazing for a man who does not have a college degree, having dropped out of Harvard to establish Microsoft. Here are some memorable Gatesian observations:
The ones I liked are in Bold and Italics :-

  • "I wish I wasn't (the world's richest man). There's nothing good that comes out of that. You get more visibility as a result of it."
  • At a chat show for a television channel in New Delhi in December 2005, he shared the platform with Infosys Chairman N R Narayana Murthy. When the mike was handed over to Murthy to test, he said, "One, two, three..." into it and gave it to the Microsoft czar, who promptly said, "One billion, two billion, three billion..."
  • "My success, part of it certainly, is that I have focused in on a few things."
  • "Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose."
  • "If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure."
  • "Life is not fair; get used to it."
  • "Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you as many chances as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life. Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself."
  • The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.
  • You will not make $40,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
  • "In business, by the time you realise you're in trouble, it's too late to save yourself. Unless you're running scared all the time, you're gone."
  • Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping - they called it opportunity.
  • Television is not real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
  • "There will be 'two societies' in the future: high-paid knowledge workers and low-paid service workers."
  • "If you're asking whether I intentionally mess up my hair, no, I don't. And certain things, like my freckles, they're just there. I don't do anything consciously. I suppose I could get contact lenses. I suppose I could comb my hair more often."

hmm..so u mean m lazy!!

yaar pure hafte subah se eve tak safdarjung hosp mein dhakke kha rahi hun!! so... puhleeze... not like m lazing around! this is all my fault only..i shouldn't advertise when i hv no work!! lesson learnt :)
If we cant get passes then dinner sounds ok....maybe we can have some mastermind also....after dinner at the convo hall......Thanks bro for standing up....isnt it surprising that people who reach office at 6 pm in the eveng and reach home by 9pm talk like this.....even if they work 6 days a week, its just 18 hrs....which is 1 and a half days work for all of us....maybe it is pure jealousy that they cant be around when evry1 is ;).....


George and Laura ka credit is fine....but I think Condi and D Cheney came from me...Kosal will be the arbitrator ;)....


Hamas sent me the msg as soon as he met Yuvi I think....and the first thght that came to my mind was 'retaliation'....dont blame the guy....no1 is supp Israel....US, India and even Kop Anfield is taking pot shots.....Prez started defending him but Israel being Israel, doesnt trust US ;)....


No news from Kop Anfield....heard that the poor guy is having heat strokes...'coz it is so garmi everyday in raipur...must have forgotten to close his bedroom window, coz there is no other way he is exposed to the heat ;).....

So lets finalize on a dinner place....heard a new italian has opened in VV ;).....Sartoria or sthg like that.....or there is Bernardo's in Gurgaon......but in case we r planning to head to S.E. for m'mind then maybe we can go to Stone or Lil'Italy in Def Col....hope by t'row mrng we have some more options....

Howz this for Saturday

All the jugaadu people, read "HS" people, please try and see if passes can be arranged....journo peoples....u also try plz...we have heard enuff stories of people saying ki passess aate rehte hain ;)....lets hope we can actually see them also :)

Yuvraj Singh spotted at the airport!

Yes..this time..spotty spotterson alias uncle, hamas, israel, extra chicken, pelu ram spotted Yuvraj Singh at the Delhi airport on his way to Lucknow..and he actually met him as well.....so no luck on britney spears but back home he is spot on!

all crappy movies releasing this week...ice age is a passe for me...would rather sit home and watch qualifying than go for ice age!i am sure mamu will be with me on this one...so me not interested in tht one...

bobby cant be here for the weekend...as in her dad will be here so she wont be able to out late...but we can still go if there is a consensus for a place!and i think we will run outta convos at south ex! so should go out someplace for dinner..and come back home!

Btw...the story behind george and laura started with uncle being scared of mamu for some weird reason! so we started teasing that he is acting like Dick Cheney as if Mamu was George...and Divya u got named Laura by default.....and yours truly came up with the names...hope that explains everything!

and everyone dont have this impression of Bro having his office nearby means he enjoys..poor guy works a lot and he also does a lot of home work which enhances my BAD BOY image but still its a blessing in disguise for me!

no blogging in office!thats strange...mebbe uncle can help by contacting HP back office ;)

welcome aboard, First Lady

i like the movie idea... how does ice age sound? i think bob ne bola tha ki woh 12 th ko aayegi.. well. m not sure.. chalo igtg.. hv to file a crappy story on eye donation. Nd do not crib about a long week. atlst u have the weekend to urself!! (esp anubhav... can hop across and get home!!! aadhe time he is home coz deva/kaushal/mayank is here...baaki aaadhe time he sleeps over. So REALLLY!!! do.not crib.)

Masters of the Mind

Welcome Laura

Hey...welcome aboard...aap aa gayi hain toh Prez bhi aa hi rahe honge ;)...I agree totally wid u...its a bad week....just not ending....I dont think bobby will be here by this fri....so dancing shud be on for the next wkend....for this wkend...I had the honor to speak to Condi ;)....she said ki she cant blog from office.....the only tp allowed in their office is bitching not blogging.... so she will write when she reaches home....she is suggesting a movie on sat and then heading for her maasi's place.....which sounds a good enough plan....views every1?

I am sure you'l get to know why u r the 1st couple, but dont u think it suits u ;).....but lemme give the diplomatically correct reason....you guys are the 1st ones who'l get married and become a couple officially in the group :)....

So keep on posting....and suggest some movies if u r ok with the movie plan

Greetings from "Laura Bush"

Hey all...Finally managed to log in after some initial trouble on account of being tech unsavvy :-(Just finished readin all the posts...Just one question - Since when did "we" get rechristened as George and Laura Bush? And more importantly why the hell did we get stuck with these names?? Whoever thought of these names...plz elucidate!
Btw...if Bobby is here this Friday then can we go dancing this weekend itself? That’s what we guys were planning yesterday (aabhas/ kaushal/ “george & laura bush”). Others plz make your opinion known…Otherwise our temp party place is always good.

We are back

There was a technical snitch for some time and no posts were being added....was it CIA acting on the White House's orders ;).....neways I spoke to Sahukaar and I could feel the phone turn pink on Ruchika's name....and then he enquired about a babe in my office whose name also starts from R...so maybe Kosal Zee Maharaj is following some kinda alpahetic sytem....till last week it was S and now it seems to be R....lets c what the next one is.....;)


Uncle is in Agra so obviously we wont get anything from him today....he returns late tonite and leaves for L'now again t'row afternoon.
You are right no1 cares about Kop and Anfield....its just that I dint want people to wonder who Kopanfield was.....I tried calling Sahukaar but his cell is not available....and who is Ruchika now...Uncle should know means some1 at agrotech-hyd....hmmm, bi-bi is definitely taking mulit-tasking seriously....when he went for the the training, it was "chala kaushal teli ban ne" but now things are changing....I am sure ruchika bohat badi aas leke kaushal ke paas aayi hogi ;)....

Why havent George and Laura started contributing.....Condi is also abstaining....Hope the blog is not a threat to national security gentlemen ;)
That was the most boring post..couldnt even go thru the entire thing! Who cares about the Kop and Anfield??...anyways I am sure bro has enlightened motu's knowledge about Liverpool...people who dont know Motu was an Arsenal fan prior to becoming a so called Kop!

Gaylord is back....or should i say bi-bi (pun intended) to gaylord after today evening's events!

and with uncle and kaushal being in town this weekend....make some plans people!

nidhi...just read Rs 100 mein 500 ka talktime!...especially for u!

Kopanfield who???

For all of u who are wondering what or who is Kopanfield is....Mota is Kopanfield and it is Kop Anfield not kopanfield.....Mote please remeber that "nakal + akal = safal "....u always forget the akal part man ;)


For the uninitiated, read ladies on the blog ;), here is a brief on what is Kop Anfield.....Mote please read the part in italics carefully


Kop or Spion Kop is the name for a number of stands at football stadiums in England and abroad, named after the South African mountain Spion Kop, scene of a battle in the Second Boer War where a majority of the Liverpool Regiment had died, hence Liverpool FC calling the home section of the ground the Spion Kop in 1906 in tribute


The definition of what constitutes a Kop is subject to much conjecture. The size and location of the stand in the stadium varies, with most being located beind the goal and being occupied by its club's most vocal supporters. For example the largest terrace to be used in English football was the East Bank at Charlton Athletics stadium 'The Valley' with a capacity of approximately 50,000 stretching along the side of the pitch. This stand was not known as a Kop. However Chesterfield's stadium the 'Recreation Ground' has a Kop with a capacity of only a few thousand.


The first was at Woolwich Arsenal's Manor Ground and many English grounds have a Kop. The most famous one is at Anfield, home of Liverpool, which is the only club to give their stand the official name of 'The Kop'. Built in 1906 and named 'Spion Kop', it could hold up to 24,000 rabid 'Kopites' (supporters placed in the Kop) however it was not the largest terrace built (behind a goal) at an English ground, that honour belongs to Villa Park's old Holte Endclosely followed by the old South Bank at Molineux, both regularly holding crowds in excess of 30,000. Hillsborough's kop had become the largest roofed terrace (at that time) in Europe, with a capacity of around 25,000. The funding for this work was not only done be the club itself but through the fans, who held a number of money making ventures including a fun run.

'The Kop' is also a collective name given to the loyal supporters of Liverpool Football club.


So this is from where Mota got his name...but gd start dude :)

Bravo

Thanks both of u for your prompt comments....this is exactly what will keep this blog running....but lets give 9.5 lakh a break yaar....he is trying to learn and we should help him....so what if AC Milan is his favorite team and he doesnt know about Serie A...or his only interest in F1 is how much does a car cost....I think we should stand by him..... am sure these is just the teething stage, right Uncle :)

Dint know George missed out on the fun over the weekend, but its good he's getting used to it ;)....As far as the "HS" people go, no matter how much garmi it is they can sit in the comfort of their AC's and still write.....btw we still havent found out ki Suresh raina is joining Adidas at which level ;)

And Ms. Vidya KrishnanYum Yay, the blog has been started so that we can write and then talk about things when we meet ;)

Britney Spears spotted at Grand Prix!

Surprising..isnt it?? Britney Spears at a GP and that too in the Ferrari garage. Extra Chicken spotted her along with Lucy Liu at the race on Sunday. Well Lucy Liu in fact turned out to be Michelle Yeoh while the identity of Ms. Spears is yet to be revealed! You have to give Extra Chicken extra benefit of doubt here...if Rio Ferdinand can become Rio Fernandes than Lucy Liu can surely be mistaken for Michelle Yeoh.

My sympathies with George Bush out here...poor guy spent the weekend shopping rather than watching a fantastic race and missed the Highbury Hoorah as well. No offence to Laura though! She is just doing the right thing as the big day is only 4 months away.

And yeah.....It is so Garmi today...;)

Vidya

YO!!!!!!! too cool.. consiredring that we have nothing much to talk when we meet (strictly accd to u, anubhav)... it is a very err..optimistic step i'd say!!


:p Vids

Welcomes!!!!!


Like most of our ideas, this one also came out when liquor went in. Uncle, Minks and Mayank were drinking with me B&H'ing while watching Man U play. Constant calls from Footage were on as usual and Minks threatened him with putting his 'Baby' romance on ISF. That did not stop Footage from calling, but made me ask these guys if we should have a blog.


After the usual questions on the members, topics etc etc ('coz noone wants another "ISF", with all due respect to ISF) we came to deciding the name. After intellectual questions from Uncle on whether it should be an individual's name or a group of people, Mayank asking whether a hindi name would do and me saying that I havent actually thought of a name, Minks said Master of the Minds, and all of us said YESSSS!!!! Then with some refinement, we settled on Masterminds. But like most of our ideas again, that name was already taken.

Long intro so lets come to the point now. What we thought while deciding on going ahead with this blog yesterday was to have basically have a place where we can connect, without meeting daily, and talk about anything and everything from bollywood, music, food, liquor, party places, sports, computers (Uncle will chip in on this), photography, holiday destinations, general issues, interesting forwards, quizzes etc etc. In one line, everything from bhasad to TP to knowledge.

As usual ideas to refine it are welcome but just one request lets try and make this work. One main reason why I am serious about it is because I think it'll add something worthwhile to our otherwise so 'interesting' lives.
