Long time no post....saala life is so bloody hectic ki what to say man....all i have on my head is only work....not that the other aspects of life are chilled out...but thankfully too much work is saving me from them....

Spoke to motu kal...he mite come for rakhi and stay till 16th....so even if ladakh isnt happ lets go somewhere else....and yes Ladakh isnt happ...no tickets available b4 the 23rd...so now maybe the 1st couple would like to relook at the wkend break.....

Some options that have come up are Pithoragarh, Nahan and ranikhet....motu is supp to get back with some more....

Kosal, as expected, has said that lets scrap the trip and every1 shud go on their individual chuttis....he wants to go to bangalore and spend some time there with a friend...who has been calling him for quite sometime now....

Hope the wkend thing is on.....altho I know I'l dead tired by the time the wkend comes....

Ladakh - TBC

Heylo pplz....long time no post...saale office walon ne jeena haram kar diya hai...wkend bhi free nahi hai....Kevin Garnett is coming to India....toh bas hamari lagegi...he is 6'11"....adidas ka brand ambassador and they dont even have clother for his size ;)...neways...dad is out of town so ghar is khali....he's coming back t'row mrng and levng t'row nite....in case we want to meet we have a place...

Howz george doing? Heard better....and btw on the ladakh trip....nidhi's voice made motu forget his mantra in life - footage khana....and he agreed to come to ladakh...but now he's started his attempts to make up for the lost footage...and is saying ki cant come, fite ho jaayegi yaar :).....the deadline to book tickets has been extended till mon as bobby's boss will come back on mon....the confirmed junta is I,vid,nidhi,kosal, deva zee and my bro...motu and boby are tbc's....I'l ask mayank also if he can make it....this is just a test to check if he reads the blog ;)

Chalo will get back to work....chow :)

Kaunsa spelling mistake....hmmm...I think u shud read your post again ma'm....Ladakh isnt spelt Ladhak....atleast in North India...and a humble request, we want to keep this blog secular so please dont bring your regional idisyncrasies here ;).....and dont waste time editing it again, u shud accept ur mistakes ;).....

The first lady has made it very clear on their plans for Ladakh....but I would still request them to reconsider....I have tried convincing lil bro also...his prob will be chutti esp when he's taken 3 'coz of the viral fever...but he's gonna try for sure...and thats what I think all of us shud do...try,try and I am sure we will succeed :)

Motu hasnt responded at all....nthg new....maybe we need to float a rumour that baby is in ladakh during those days....the first ever bull fight in Ladakh....obv by bull I mean baby....and a la christina she will be dressed in "dirty" clothes....which will sure be an attraction for our "hygeinic" dude...come on motu, its been long time we all met yaar...deva ji ki entrapment, I mean engagement also u missed...not done man....

Deva is in town till t'row and then he'll be touring UP...he's expected to head back on fri...unless we manage to hold him back....but holding him back isnt going to be our headache for long....NRI Bhaujaai is moving to delhi very soon...planning to take up a job and a sep house in delhi....so the delhi trips for deva ji are gonna be more frequent...till the time of the byaah and by then hopefully HP will trfr deva ji back to del.....

Ohho more work....chow :)

Spelling mistake? where? kaunsa spelling mistake? what ru talking abt! u must hv read it rong, anubhav... anyways.. me gets back to work...

Got back from my weekend trip to Calcutta...my first cousin was getting engaged. Back in office after 4 days and swamped with work. Too much bhasad...can't handle as usual. Besides suddenly truck loads of management trainees are quitting quoting stupid reasons like ill health/ home sickness/ shaadi karna hai etc etc..ab un gadhon ka kaam bhi karna padega:-(
Newaz was reading the blogs about our plans of going to Ladakh. Sorry for being the party-pooper here but I don't think George and I will be able to make it for this one...our parents will freak if we suddenly decide to go on an extended weekend trip now.
You guys plz plan and go ahead with whatever works for evrybdy, George & I will come for the next one, once we officially become the "first couple".....won't need to seek permission frm anybdy then.
Btw....he's still down with fever & throat infection...seems to have caught a bad bug...Jhaad Phuk karana padega...bachcha bimaar hote rahta hai.
So is Deva coming to del tomorrow? If he is then lets all catch up.....C U pplz...

Today i think was the last day when i was allowed to be late to office...with the WC over there is no excuse left...and sadly nthg to watch on tv also...and isnt it weird to read wrong spellings from a journo...or mebbe thats hows they spell Ladakh in taamil naadu ;)....but the rest of the info is correct....Nidhi has some details on a 12 day pckg to Ladakh...which will cost some 12,500....so I am assuming that a 5 day trip will be cheaper.....to and fro airfare is 6200 and nidhi is trying some army jugaad for a stay....so lets c what works....but I honestly think all of us shud go for this....waise bhi at the rate ppl are moving towards marital "bliss", we will not have too many chuttis together...and more than that its just the "we have to do it" attitude that will help us do such things....everyone will have work pressures, financial pressures,gf/bf pressures....but come on yaar...we shud do sthg....I toh sugg even a wkend getaway every mth....neplace which is within 300 kms is also kool....I am not trying to get preachy here nor m I saying ki none of u make an attempt....but arent we just too bored with routine life...and we'll have to go one step beyond the current attempts....so puhlllleeeeeeezzzzze wake up guys :)

Uncle is in town tonite or t'row mrng I think...lets meet up and maybe I can make a full fledged speech :).....gotta get back to work....howz george doing btw? lil bro is also down with viral....

Ladhak?

That's whr vr are planning to head...tho the 'plan' is still in preliminary stages. The tour operator (Ms Gulia) will get back to us with the itinerary, monetary estimates and other suitable locations by the weekend. Please get back to us if you have any suggesstions. and Contact Miss Gulia for further details. Ciao

Superman returns

owwww it is not all that bad.. defi very long .. but it is not boring..after all Superman is back!! its is undeniably stupid in parts.. the disguising powers of 'Clark Kent's nerd glasses' plus they just assume that teh audience must have seen the last two movies and so mainly focus of Superman's love life. Brandon Routh defi looks the part (tho anubhav thinks he is gay). Kevin Spacey is AMAZING.. the movie NOT objective or logical or anything remotely close to that.. but its worth a watch :)

Sentiman Returns

This is what the movie should have been titled....I, vidya and Nidhi went for superman returns and it was definitely not worth it....Kevin Spacey was good and so were the special effects....but it was totally disappointing...the movie makes me believe that Hollywood is defi being influenced by Bollywood....this is how - superman is about to die and the lady love walks in with his kid, whispers sthg in his ear, gives him a kiss and 2 min later superman is flying....and we grew up thinking that superman gets his energy from the sun....well things have defi changed ;)....I am sure every1 wants to see this movie and maybe u should but plz be prepared for a slow and emotional movie...with a lot of scenes that just don't move....and hope u guys dont get the company that we had....7 biharis behind our seats....who gave us a running commentary on each scene...one actually felt that superman was inspired by Krrish....others kept on saying that they will lev the next min but sat thru the entire movie....and it is a loooonnng movie....almost 2hr 45 mins....more details whenever we meet...

Deva zee is expected in del on the 10th and might stay for 3-4 days....Nidhi can host all of us at her office for the WC final....if we are interested....

Gotta get back to work....chow :)

Last night was too kool....as in for the first time in this world cup, staying up was worth it....2 goals in the last 2 mins of the extra time....woooowwwww it was...honestly m not a big italie fan but nethg to bring those nazi buggers down :)....and italian defense was too good...dont think ne1 has a chance agst them...apart from their own goal ;)

Dont know about the lucky three but honestly I was waiting for kosal to put up the pics so that all us were on the same page....but I think only two of us lucky ;)....since we got away with a really "close" shave.....that was one experience man....but patna was overall gd...and the roads were much better that what all of us expected....even the dhakkan flight wasnt too bad...the famous bihari hospitality was at its best...with deva ji's younger bro in full attendance with us....we tried our best to entertain him but dont know how succesful we were ;)....the ceremony was also nice and as "dulhe raja" had predicted it, was crowded...but overall it was a very happy happy feeling around so no1 had probs with the crowd...deva zee was a bit flustered when the puja and all was happening...but when he realised that he is just a couple of photo opps away from food, the smile came back (pics are proof).....

In that heat, obv we dint go out sight seeing...altho Animay (Deva zee's bro for the uninformed) sugg the zoo :)....gd trip in short....in short 'coz I have to get back to work....chow :)

Neend se death ho jayegi shyaad.....With just 2.5 hrs of sleep, i'm feelin really zonked!!Was plannin to bunk office but change of plans & like a good girl I got in at 9:30 sharp.

Aane ka fayada nahi coz I don't think i'll accomplish much..but never mind last nite was really worth it. After a long time all of us attended such a bhasadi party together+ kosal ji maharaj ka "happy to u" bhi tha + the match (its a different thing that I slept of during the most exciting time of the match!) but all in all it was an evening very well spent.

Ok now can't think of anythin else to write. I'm jst feelin so confused. Dunno why i'm writing actually. Maybe I should stop rambling on and get back to work. All u pplz have a gr8 day....... Ciao

Why is nobody writing? I thought the lucky three who went for Deva's engagement will have loads to share with the rest once they are back from laloo land. Was hoping the blog would see a lot of activity but apparently not:-(
Kya hogaya?? Kahan gaye sab??

Kosal's happy to u

are we doing something tmrw? anubhav told me ki sab busy hain kal shaam ko... Will it be posible to meet at south ex after all engagements...

back from b'lore

helooz....last heard our junta was getting ready for the eventand deva ji was finding it difficult to contain his excitement. too bad all of us couldnt go0...and about weekend getaway... ranhikhet sounds grt.. m k with any other city thats isnt as hot as delhi.... b'lore btw.. is grt.. amazing mausam... and coupled with the shopping spree that i went on.. the trip was grt....anwyays.. lets meet up sometime soon..

I cant believe it!Bloody pseudo delhiiites...dont understand a thing abt football. But crowding places like hell. Hope we get to see the game at a nice place. Be it buzz or geoffreys or kake da hotel! I dont care....fingers crossed the jinx of the blog doesnt strike again!

I guess ppl with superior IQs are quicker...so you hear it from them first...but it seems both the blogs got uploaded at the same time:-)

Plans for tonight

Pplz...have booked a table for 7 at Geoffery's. Tried Pebble Street as well, they're showing the match, have two big screens but couldn't confirm our reservation as they are over booked already...but unlike Buzz this manager said they'll allow entry.

Geoffery's has two big screens, 3 TV screens and they won't play any music during the match(that's what I was told by the manager...have requested some people with superior IQs to check again as they feel I won't know the diff b/w big screen and TV screen!!). Hope the venue is ok with all.

Newaz..this was just to confirm the plan..hope everyone's coming. Anubhav i'll just check with gullu babes if she's comin or not.... you just might have the special privilege of enjoying our company(Gullu & mine:-) on your way to Del.
See u all in the eve..adios!

Ranikhet as an option

Since we are on the topic of weekend getaway with every1 bored at work,W-Day approaching for the 1st couple and uncle going semi NRI....I just did thoda inquiring around office and a bit of googling on where we could go....Ranikhet seems to be a good place...its about 9 hrs drive from delhi and the round trip will be some 850 kms....Laluji is also on our side as there is a train that leaves at 10 pm and reaches at 6 am....the fare for 3A is 390 one way....for the boarding and lodging....there are lots of options...starting from 4000 for three rooms to 5200 for a duplex suite to 1400 per room, depending upon the luxury we need or the money we want to spend ;)....Lots of places to go around Ranikhet like Sheetlakhet, Chaubatia gardens, Jageshwar, Almora etc....can we have some tghts on this from every1....12-15th Aug could be a good option....as we'll need just 1 day's chutti...and its mid of the mth so the "sailu" junta can get off too....

Coming back to the present....sorry 1st couple could not meet u guys yest as we were out with the family....but tonite lets meet up for "the" match...m thinking of supp germany, 'coz I want them to lose ;)....

Nice to c the 1st couple write on the blog...and both of them have made very valid points....with so much crowd at the engagement I think v'll just be taking pics standing in one corner...and deva will point out to us from the stage...those 3 DFP's (read Desi's from Punjab) are my friends....maybe the acronym will help bhaujaai remember us ;).....

As far as jokes on uncle go....I spoke to him yest and he said the same....ki tum log toh mera mazaak hi udaate rahoge...but being the "good" friend I have assured him that jokes will not go out of our circle....so he stays the TDH dude until......his luck runs out I guess ;).....but chill uncle we will try and maintain the decorum...if there is any, with the hawaai fires going on and people eating 70 rasgullas at a time ;)

But all said and done...m toh looking forward to this trip big time....and as far as the l'now trip goes....had disc it with Nidhi and Kosal...and both of them thght if v r gng out lets go to a thanda place....but since Divya has work there and we need a brk so l'now is also fine....lets deci quickly but....

Chalo another day begins...2 more days to go to patna :)

Good to know that there would be atleast some representation of Deva's desi jingbang. Accha hai...let our NRI bhaujaai get introduced to the dehati clan gradually...hum sabse ek saath milti to shyaad too much ho jata.
Anywaz on a more serious note, would have loved to come for the grand event but me off to Cal next week and with less than 3 months to go for our own D day, every weekend the only thing my parents want to do is to shop till we drop.
Mamu & I are were planning to go to lucknow towards the end of July and wanted to check with you guys on the same. I need to meet my bro there and pick up a few things for the shaadi. Since Gullu talked about the trip just wanted to know if the rest of the junta would be keen on going to Lucknow...Its definitely not as exotic as Kinnaur but could do for a weekend trip nonetheless. Do let me know so that we can make plans accordingly(will need to book train tickets I guess) Uncle can obviously play the perfect host and show us around the happening
town :-)
For the ones who finally go to Patna this weekend apart from the pics etc...make sure you have enough anecdotes to bring back and narrate to us lesser mortals who couldn't make it for this big day.
Deva...sorry for not being able to come this time but will definitely make it for the wedding..koi baat nahi agar ekdum interiors mein bhi ho!!
None of the bosses are in office today...after a really long time my day at work doesn't seem all that bad any more!Gotta go now..catch you all later..Ciao.

trip

i second the fact that we need to go for a trip.. divya n mamu let us know wen u guys are free.. will the last weekend of July be fine with every one... that is 29 and 30th july else we can go 1st weekend of Aug..ie 5th and 6th Aug....
vidya was suggesting kinnaur.. else kahin pe bhi chalo... but chalo.. please guys all of u atleast put ure thoughts to this...

and kosal, aabhas n anubhav.. enjoy the trip and take some snaps and post them on the blog once ure back...

In addition to the breaking news by my journo bro, uncle has been informed that we are landing at 9.15 on sunday. His reply was "cab will be there to pick up. will take u to the hotel"....and obv I asked "will it be a lancer? will it take us to the radisson" :)......but srsly it wud have been a lot more fun if all of us cud have gone....like my bro put, us desi ppl will find it very diffi....esp with the NRI bhaujaai....both I and bro toh will be useless....yes kosal can make a conversation defi...

Mota is as usually doing goli baazi....but the biggest ditch came from the HS people....as in she had all the creds to represent us in front of the NRI's...but what to say....maybe travelling in the bus was sthg that put her off...or she wud have been 2 embarrassed with us....jo bhi hai....hum toh patna ja raha hoon....

Btw are we thinking for a wkend break....ab toh one more wicket down hai...v shud do sthg jaldi...kya pata aur kaun kab kat jaaye....

We are going to Patna!!

As of now me, bro and kaushal are going to patna on Sunday to attend the big day. We will be catching the first bus to Patna (and by bus I mean the Air Deccan early morning flight). Have already told my mom to pack paranthas and achar for the journey!Its a blooody three hour long flight!!

As Uncle clearly mentioned the other day that the wedding is gonna be held even in more interiors of Bihar, we should at least make it for this event.

Motu too has said that he will try to make it via Ranchi and all that. But looks dicey for him. Would have been good fun if all of us would have been able to make it. Chalo at least we will have some "desi" ( and by that I mean bhai and me!) representatives at the NRI meets Bihari liasion.

Looking forward to it eagerly.

Congratulations

Well..after almost two-three years of meeting girl's chachas, mamas, brothers, uncles and warming Haldiram's chairs, breaking glasses...eating sambar vadas and chhola bhaturas..Uncle has finally been tied down. Congratulations uncle!I am sure you will be equally relieved and happy.

While I am sure most of us will be keen to go, the kind of shrt notice Uncle has given will be a bit tough to manage, though it will be an event to remember. There will be a 21-topon ki salaami types ka jashan in the Deva household.

Chalo if the Indo-Pak dispute is still going on, a dispute of a similar magnitude has been solved at least. While foreign returned wife is good news for uncle, I do agree with Mamu that we mite be considered a bit Desi for her standards. The only one who can strike a conversation with her has to be Mr Kaushal. With his "Can u talk English, walk english, eat English (without grammatical mistakes)" routine.

Mufti has given the best remark on this event. He said something on these lines ,"Yaar, devaji ka toh bhediye wali kahani hai....itni baar announce kar chuka thha pehle, ki iss baar yakeen nahin ho raha"

Congrats once again!

WHOA!!!

What a day it already has turned out to be!!!! the hottest catch is out of the marriage market!!!! the only value add i can gv to previous two posts is that the marriage is in dec...i guess next in line is Kosal and his mysterious girlfriend......But great news and defi calls for celibrations.. me and Nidhi were planning to meet in saket for da vinci (I will nvr be able to see that movie!!!!!!!) but that can be scrapped if yall intend to come that side.... or anywhr else in delhi for that matter.. chalo me goes...

Chat Mangni Pat Byaah

Yes thats what uncle is doing...altho I dont know the date of byaah but the mangni is a huge surprise....my first reaction was that uncle is doing a "mota" on us...all of us remember how many times he has got a date for his shaadi ;)....but this time it looks pakka...the girl as mamu has put has done her MBA from the UK....worked for HSBC chennai for about 3 mths then quit to chill till her marriage....and bhaujai's name is Aastha....sounds familiar ;)...uncle hasnt met her but has been talking to her etc...as in thats what he says ;)...but one thing that I am sure every1 who spoke to uncle must have noticed....he sounded very happy, touchwood :)....finally the wait is over, uncle is actually getting married....yaaayyyyyyy!!!!!!

Patna is the venue and the date is 2nd July...dont know how we'l manage to reach....M sure every1 will be loaded with work...but lets meet today, if possi so that we can deci on the travel plans :).....

Incidentally this post is the 100th on our blog...so thats our 1st century....from May 8th to June 26th....not bad, eh :)...neways Gotta go....have a conf in del today...so will be that side in the eveng...if we plan to meet....chow :)

Apologies to Divya

Hey....divya cleared the air about the whole phone thingy..some issue i guess with message sending..she never recieved any of my msgs.....apologies dear for posting tht on the blog...got the phone...so all's well that ends well!

Amazing article must say...but b4 nethg, my bro has bot the V3i....sexed out fone it is....too kool.....coming back to the article....and honestly I dont think ne1 else apart from Rohit Brijnath cud have written....that guy is amazing....u can actually be moved....awesome it was....

Uncle ne toh posts ki bahaar laga di....very good uncle...but R Kipling thoda too much ho gaya na...as in what was the connect...it's a very nice piece but still....forgive us lesser mortals for the ignorance ;)...but ur conv with the gaswallah has been very accurately captured I guess...and the inzy one....hmmm, dint have so many the's actually....

Mota ke baare mein kya kaha jaaye....but I dont think we shud undermine the achievement...how he wud have gone to his dad and got this done is no small feat....bravo motu...too bad the it wasnt punjab's cm or maybe he cud have put in a word to dharmender also ;)....

Kosal is as usual missing....mayank is going back to mumbai today and will be back only around oct I think....

Baaki toh kaam as usual....chow :)

carry on uncle

Well...i actually got choked with emotions reading this article:

Absolute masterpiece......mamu, no need to guess the writer!;)


In a sporting world of swollen egos, pouting stars, silly belligerence on the field, artless sledging, he has never undignified the adulation he has been given.
Somehow through it all, his riches, his deification, his life turned into an unending episode of reality TV, Tendulkar has maintained a sense of proportion. Except now some of us are losing ours.

Judgement of Tendulkar in recent times in some places has been hurried, harsh and disquietingly rude. He failed in the Test series against Pakistan and he was Endulkar, he scored a century in the first one-dayer and he was Tondulkar, a grand career glibly reduced to a slick headline.

But then this is the age of provocation, where some pundits confuse volume with wisdom, and cricket is turned from game into tamasha (commotion).

Mocking ability

Reasonable observers like Gavaskar and Shastri remain, but they are in danger of being drowned out by more strident voices. Moin Khan, hardly the most chaste of cricketers, is giving us hysterical lessons in sportsmanship, while some former Indian players make a loud living offering bold and often banal pronouncements. Not that any of this means that Tendulkar is immune to criticism, or that he is above scrutiny. He is the man in the arena and must be judged, like others, not on reputation but performance.

He does not ask for favours, but only to be accorded the same dignity he has brought to the game. We need not swoon over him, neither must we revile him.

But to blithely dismiss him as had been done recently, to mock his ability as some do, to say he is afraid of fast bowling as others contend, is painful and unedifying.

Tendulkar was always a reluctant God and perhaps it is just that we have become impatient worshippers. His decline may eventually be more revealing about us than about him. Perhaps we have spent a lifetime perceiving Tendulkar as a batting superman and are unsure how to deal with him as a man, a human batsman who fails, who makes mistakes.

But after 17 years even the machine, and so many saw him as one, has to wear down, its mechanics occasionally faulty, and for some this is a revelation. What did we expect, that he would never grow up, that he be 16 forever? Are we?

When Tendulkar scored his 35th Test century recently it was said quickly, here and there, that he was back to his best. Of course, he wasn't, he cannot be.

But this is no surprise; what is a surprise, and thus a tribute to Tendulkar, is that his career stayed so brilliant so long, his embrace of discipline so constant that it stands unmatched in recent times and perhaps not just in cricket.

Sure his consistency has been somewhat amputated, but this is a natural progression; he is no longer the all-time great practitioner of the batting arts, but he remains a very good one. His 95 in the third one-dayer in Pakistan, on a pitch that was alive, had his captain, Dravid, in raptures.

Suggestions that his career is done with are laughable, for it is not as if India's bench is littered with superior talents who are being denied an opportunity. Men must earn their place, Tendulkar still is earning his. Over the hill he may be, but he is still more accomplished than other men at the top of their mountains.

Evident struggle

Roger Federer remarked recently that despite the apparent ease with which he dominates, some days tennis is hard work for him and he must labour.

For Tendulkar, it was the same, so fluently did he play once that we did not see nor appreciate his struggle, his singular focus of mind, which ensured that bad days or good, he found a way to produce his best for India.

Now his struggles are more evident, and yet there is a particular pleasure in watching Tendulkar past his prime, it is moving yet instructive to watch a champion return from injury and grapple with his game, propelled by a desperate, undying belief that even now, so many years later, he is still, dammit, good enough.

Tendulkar is a proud man, always has been, and if his instinctive genius has slowed then it is educational to watch a batsman remake himself, to find a new style that suits him, to stay relevant as a player even now.

He has defied everything for nearly two decades, bowlers, pitches, expectations, and now he is challenging time. He will face it head on; he always does.

One of these days it will end, maybe next year after the World Cup, maybe later, and this will be interesting, too, for modern sportsmen are loath to admit their moment has passed, taken kicking and pleading from their field of play. Retirement is a final admission of failed skills, it is these days an expensive decision as well.

Tendulkar, when he goes, must go of his own hand, it would be the only honourable departure. But that can wait. For now let's lock away the cheap criticism and the sweeping judgements, and enjoy the final chapters of a decent man and superior batsman. The season of Tendulkar is not yet over.

carry on uncle

One of the favorite Mastrmind answers

Guys....we have guessed the name so often now for u in full.......
If
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

--Rudyard Kipling

the conversation between uncle ji and gas wallah would have gone something like this:

Uncle: Kya yaar bhai saab...ek gas hi toh hai!
Gaswallah: Nahin sir..itne mein toh nahin ho paayega
Uncle: Aap lagao toh...baaki apan dekh lenge!
Gaswallah: 500 rupees dene padenge
Uncle: kya yaar...achha chalo 400 mein kar do!400 mein full and final..nahin toh rehne do!
Gaswallah (reluctantly says): Thhekh hai
Uncle has a triumphant look on his face and is thinking "Kaat diya saale ka" Koi aur hota toh 500 de deta!

Bhaiya hum toh 80 logo hi kar paaye...and some of them were right but the logo showed a sad smiley only!

news from raipur: Motu has used daddy's connexxions once again to impress top bosses at BPCL. He personally arranged a meeting for his GM with the Chhattisgarh CM. It apparently was a big crisis BPCL was facing which Motu has helped in solving. Now everyone is happy. The bosses for utilising Mufti's core competency and Motu ne apni ek saal ki haraamkhori ke paap dho diye!

And he has shown once again..."when in doubt...goto Daddy"

Ek gaana yaad aa gaya....

"Noton ki gaddi...Daddy ne di
Andar ki chaddi...daddy ne di!(though i doubt that...prince and dixcy only u can buy)"

24 hours?need a coupla more!

I have a terrible week ahead of me...absolutely tonnes of work!! Mix late night sleeping into it and watching football matches makes it even worse....i have been longing for sleep so much that I told my boss...gimme an off to sleep!! Sadly, he said stop watching football and your life will be easier!

Wanna watch MI-III...heard its pretty decent and a good timepass...but here is the time?? 24 hours are less for me it seems these days!

yellow

m so bored.. koi kaam nahin hai...and have a night shift today.. went thru the rafting pics.. was amazing fun... don't u guys think another weekend getaway is over due? Esp before the first couple gets too busy with wedding arrangements....and for nidhi sake we cant go near water.. coz she is 'extreeemly susceptible' to the elements of nature. Corbett ka trip toh is ruled out.... coz its closed from June to November. I guess we can hit the hills...Kinnaur sounds good.. even raniket, nainital, Dharamshala..mcldganj (nainital is a little crappy compared to the other options)...would b grt..... anyways.... me goes to grab a bite....

funniest football joke!!

as much as I love England...this is the funniest joke i have heard recently!!



World Cup Fever


It is just before the England v Brazil match. Ronaldinho goes into
theBrazilian changing room to find all his teammates looking a bit glum.

"What's up?" he asks.

"Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know

it's important but it's only England . They're sh*te and we can't be bothered."

Ronaldinho looks at them and says, "Well, I reckon I can beat them by myself. You lads go down the pub."


So Ronaldinho goes out to play England by himself and the rest of the Brazilian team go off for a few jars.

After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen

reads
"
Brazil 1 - England 0 (Ronaldinho 10 minutes)". He is beating England all by himself!

Anyway, a few pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers, "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on." They put the teletext on.

"Result from the Stadium 'Brazil 1 (Ronaldinho 10 minutes) - England 1
(Lampard 89 minutes)."


They can't believe it; he has single-handedly got a draw against England!! They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate Ronaldinho.

They find him inthe dressing room, still in his gear, sitting with his head in his hands.

He refuses to look at them. "I've let you down, I've let you down."


"Don't be daft, you got a draw against England , all by yourself. And they only scored at the very, very end!"

"No, no, I have, I've let you down. I got sent off after 12 minutes."

more on women and football

"I would be surprised if Argentina didn't win this" - my (Australian) wife Kim, after Argentina had scored their fourth goal against S&M.





During the Angola vs Portugal match the TV commentators mentioned something about World Cup groups, prompting my confused wife to ask "Do they get three points for every goal?"





Watching Germany/Costa Rica here in the States with the better half, when the TV commentator makes a mention of the "12th Man":
She: What did he mean, 12th man? I thought there were 11 players?
Me: There are only 11 players.
She: I only see 10.
Me: Including the keeper?
She: Oh... so who is the 12th man? One of the substitutes?
Me: It's a term for the home fans.
(5 seconds of silence)
She: So how do they choose what fan gets to play? Is it random or did they win a contest?
Jesus wept.





Whilst watching the opening game of the world cup I tried to get my girlfriend Julie to take an interest and was talking about Jens Lehmann. I mentioned that he's an Arsenal player and that being an Arsenal supporter I wanted him to have a good tournament. She replied. "How can he play for Germany if he's an Arsenal player?"





Commentator: "He was unable to train due to a cruciate knee injury."
The lovely Lady: "So what knee is more crucial than the other?"







I work with a bird who having watched the Italy - Ghana game, came into the office and said, "Which one of the Ghana players plays for the Czech Republic?" Her name is Lisa H, and she is a constant source of entertainment.







From a girl in my office during a conversation detailing the finer points of qualification from the group stages; "What happens if England and Sweden win all their group games?"






I'd just turned on the France/Switzerland game when my sister-in-law perched on the sofa next to me, took a look at the the ticker at the top of the screen - FRA v SWI - and asked "Why are France playing Swindon?"







Whilst watching the opening between Germany and Costa Rica, my wife challenged me with the following questions: "When a team scores a goal and the players jump on each other to celebrate, do they ever jump on someone from the other team by mistake? And if they do, has that ever started a fight?"








My wife was watching the England v Jamaica warm-up game and commented "It's not fair - England won't give the other team the ball.









While watching England v T&T my friend's bird who for the life of me I can't remember the name of cos I don't pay attention, but she does look a little like the bird from Harry Potter says... "Can goalkeepers use their feet?" I just looked at her and shook my head.








Watching football with my girlfriend on Sunday I was talking about exactly where I was going to watch England's next game, my girlfriend asked "So who do we play next then?" I said that our next game was on Thursday against Trinidad & Tobago to which she replied with a puzzled look on her face, "what, both of them?".








My receptionist - "When are england playing next?"
Me - "Tomorrow morning, 2am"
Receptionist - "Who against?"
Me - "Trinidad and Tobago"
Receptionist ' "TWO GAMES?"





...I was out having a smoke after the games on Saturday, when I heard a great exchange between two random drunken birds which went as follows.
Random bird one: "Did you see any of the football today?"
Random bird two: "No, why? Who won?"
Random bird one: "England beat Sweden, and Trinidad drew with Tobago"










...My girlfriend Jackie used to think that "injury time" was the time at the end of the match when both teams tried to injure the opposion!










...I have just got tickets for Brazil v Australia. I am obviously excited. I tell my other half. Her reaction: "Why would you want to go and see Brazil play"

Today will be a better day :)

I can absolutely understand what the 1st Lady is going thru....I am almost in the same soup...altho I have managed to taalo my laptop for sometime and thankfully we dont get cabins....although there was an attempt to move me to a separate cubicle but I have managed to wriggle out of it, literally ;).....but I hope ur day is better today :)

Peter Crouch is the man for England (HAS TO BE ONE OF THE SLOPPIEST STRIKERS IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME...AND THE FACES HE MAKES AFTER MISSING AN OPP,WHAT A WASTE THAT MAN IS )........and Gerrard does it again to Hislop in injury time.......but they were bad till 84th min (AND THE CREDIT FOR THIS ALSO GOES TO CROUCH)

Extremely important advice and recommendations to be passed on to

wives, girlfriends, fiancés, mothers, sisters, daughters, etc. To all women in general. These rules are to be communicated prior to the World Cup in June/July
this year...


LIST OF RULES

1. From 9 June to 9 July 2006, you should read the sports section of
the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the
World Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the onversations. If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention

2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you will lose it (your eye).

3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don't
mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without
distracting me. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make
sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I
won't have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month.

4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone,or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor....it won't happen.

5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.

6. Please, please, please!! If you see me upset because one of my
teams is losing, DO NOT say "get over it, it's only a game", or "don't worry, they'll win next time". If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so called "words of encouragement" will only lead to a break up or divorce.

7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk
to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only
f the half-time score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am
saying "one" game, hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to "spend time together".

8. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many times.

9. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child
related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because:
a ) I will not go,
b ) I will not go, and
c ) I will not go.

10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to
watch a game, we will be there in a flash.

11. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as
important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying "but you have already seen this...why don't you change the channel to something we can all watch??", the reply will be: "Refer to Rule #2 of this list".

12. And finally, please save your expressions such as "Thank God the
World Cup is only every 4 years". I am immune to these words, because after this comes the Champions League, Italian League,
Spanish League,Premier League, etc etc.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Regards,

Men of the World

Last nite was fun...and I think all of us reached home on time...except great uncle zee who left his laptop at Cafe Morrison....not to worry but...... 'coz after 5 min of frantic calling etc it was traced...or so I know 'coz no1 called after that ;)

Btw I forgot to tell u guys yest....Monki has passed his 2nd year also...got 64% and is officially in the 3rd and final year at IHM.....so sat we have one more reason to party :)

Yest again India could not do anything...I saw the match till Wi were 6 wickets down....germany apparently had a thrilling finish, with a goal in the 91st minute....but I that was the only minute in the entire match which was thrilling...otherwise it was a very dull match...thats what I tght....

Chalo me goes back to work....chow :)

sounds grt

hmm.. not trying to be too cynical.. but i srsly hope this works out... more or less the opinion poll ho gaya hai..and everyone seems game... so, hopefully weekend pe milte hain... BTW why is nidhi is still missing.. ghar pe bhi blogging banned hai kya!

Follow the 1st lady :)

I am so glad to read this....thats the spirit man....and ppl who think this blog is manhoos....I think our actions will speak louder than our words....even though there will not be too many words on the blog ;)....

This sat thing sounds too kool...I am game for it...as usual :).....Uncle zee is in noida today....and guess where is he staying...I am sure no will have to guess 'coz he will tell every1 himself ;)...its the Radisson at noida....Kosal ka cell was unrchbl when i tried in the mrng...will try again...mayank will also be here on fri so sat shud be fun....if the nidhi can let us know about south ex...its bin very long since we played m'mind....

Chalo then...hope to see some more "positive" blogging :)

Hello pplz..

Just read Vidya's blog on the weekend plans...I agree not too many plans have worked out on this blog but still was very tempted to put up one last plan for the weeknd.
Was just thinking that since the entire jingbang might be here ths wknd( deva kosal & co.) then maybe we can all party at Orange room first and then head for south ex after that (Gulia babes you need to please check and let us know if we can all crash out at South ex).
Junta can then catch up on football/cricket/ mastermind etc...whatever people fancy. Pplz plz write in and let see if this plan is workable or not.....gotta go now..catch ya later. Hope this blog isn't that manhoos after all;-)

BTW me reading The Motorcycle Diaries... if u hvnt already rad it..plz do.

hellozzz

hey there...so, kosal msgd yest and wanted to know what we planning for the weekend. (heading south ex, are we?) i hope we dont plan anything on this space anymore.. bloody manhoos blog..

acha btw... wanna know wat rock bottem dumbness is... this bimbette in sports section was watching the aus vs japan match.. after the 3rd goal she asks how many goals brazil scored! anyways... me goes... tu tu

Sporty Sunday

This was one sunday in a long long time that one had to use the remote....there was the fench open where fedex took off but could not stay on track....was really sad to c him "derailed"....cricket was definitely a cure for the insomniacs when dravid and kaif were at it....after dravid dhoni and the punjabi cheetah "yuvi" failed to wake people up....irfan tried and failed...and when Kumble started slicing, I had to change the channel.....F1 was before all this and so was Alonso...but still there was solace in Schumi being 2nd....and ofcourse there was Joga Bonito....but I just saw Robben score and then saw Pauleta scored for Portugal in the 4th minute...uske baad ki commentary will be provided by the rest of the bloggers :)

The weekend was hectic as usual....was in office only till 4 yest.....the First Lady sent a wonderful fwd on drunk girls....its a must read...a lot of us will identify some1 or the other with that fwd ;)......

Kosal is coming t'row nite...so maybe wed nite we guys can meet....only for dinner if possi....Monki is expected back on fri....lets c...gtg...ciao :)

Kick Off

Its just a matter of hours when most of our lives for the next one month will be consumed by Football. One thing I noticed reading after today's papers is that Indians are not only bad at playing the game they are even more pathetic when it comes to writing about it. Not saying that some of us could do a better job but I am sure it wont be as pathetic as the rest.

One paper (dont know HT or Times)carried the headline something related to Joga Bonito..mayank and nidhi..its Joga and not Soga!!Anyways the headline had Joga Bonito which means Play Beautiful but one of our leading national daily had it translated as "Beautiful Football". Christ! Dont know how they are designated to write about something as beautiful as football.

Siddharth Saxena of Times...who had writeen the infamous "Endulkar" article redeemed himself in my eyes by writing a good piece on why one shouldn't bet on Brazil The only quality piece out of the 50 in the papers!

As they as say Let the Games Begin!!

Dont about ur prof Sachdeva's attributes in the mashoor boxer....but he is definitely following the prof's words...its business, business and business for Uncle these days....koi khabar hi nahi hai....aisa na ho ki uncle ab shaadi ke baad hi mile....very few ppl rem that he was supp to get married on 23rd May ;)....

Kosal was so desp for a room mate...hope the room mate is a deadly mix of u know who (read Minks and Deva) when it comes to keeping the house clean ;)....then he'l understand ki living alone is better off....waise knowing kosal he wud have checked the roomie achche se....or shall i say thok baja ke ;)...maybe thats the reason they r living together....m sure his roomie will intro Kosal to his friends as a happy and gay person ;)

Monki and mamu have gone back to their slumber again it seems...I hope the WC will get them to write, MSN had some interesting trivia on WC...altho m sure most of u will know it already ;)...and where are ze ladies :)....no1 has time or wat..

As far as Footage goes....this is his teaser campaign....saala yahan bhi footage hi khana chahta hai....motu remember...jo garajte hain woh baraste nahi....and esp jo itne lazy hain ;)....but m sure the only reason he isnt writing is 'coz he must be busy at the "mantralaya" or cud be that his GM's grandson's daughter is coming to Raipur and he is busy deciding on the menu, getting the cooler repaired in the office etc ;)

Kaam aa gaya....me goes :)

Sach-Deva

Sachdeva would have been an oxymoron for Deva Zee.....The joke had me in splits today also!though alien to the satyanasa joke!Imagine if Deva was Sachdeva and acquired some attributes of our prof Sachdeva...then it would have been just awesoooommeee!....To quote him..."Once u enter my class...its business!Business is business is business"

Good to know kaushal has found a house...I-Bank colleague ko palkon pe hi rakhna...kahin aur nahin!!

Motu has warned me that he will have some nasty story abt me on this space today....but mote u should know..."Extensions always suffer" But no qualms...go ahead!

satyanasa!!!!!!!

ha ha kaushal!

Good boy Kosal

Thats the spirit my boy, taking time out when ur living out of a suitcase :).....and satyanasa was very funny......reminded me of the joke on uncle...for the benefit of people who dont know this, this joke came out when we were discussing Uncle's compulsive lying....what would deva be called if he spoke the truth always...Sachdeva ;).....

13,14th are weekdays so kosal has chosen the right days....dont think we'l b able to go out anywhere...dude hope u r not staying at the guest house....

I have a couple of WC planners...with the entire schedule and groups....very kool....in case ne1 wants any....

The day is hectic as usual....ciao :)

finally, after living outta one bag for more than a mnth, i'v got a house for myslf. its a 3-bedroom flat in chd.....wll b sharing wid one of my I-bank colleagues. its a neat house but th bedrooms end before they start. and since my stuff is still lyin somwhr in bathnda, i'll wont b able to shift b4 nxt week.

btw, i'll b in del on 13th n 14th...........hav a meetng in del. n wll get a post-paid fone vry soon n wll call up all u guys frequently. pre-paids suck big time.

gud to c george here. n was vry vry happy to see vidya krishnan's name on sunday's page 1 story.........im proud of u my child, withiiiin 24 hrs...........u've turned NASA into......satyanasa ;)

Welcomes again :)

This is has to be one of the most bhasadi days on the blog...the empty mind did certainly help bro ;).....and even if Mamu's entry dint coincide with the WC it did coincide with the launch of Bust.....and I am sure the title chosen has sthg to do with Mote's chest ;)....Esha toh doesnt even qualify for the term ;).....

Actually the movie could be a biography....and wud defi be better than the Hindi version....and no doubts who will play Antara Mali's role....is that y our scriptwriter bumped into some1 at TC ;)......

Now lets keep the bhasad going on....Uncle is also missing and so is the new "Teli" on the block...Kaushal "aissse" mat kar yaar ;).....gotta go, in the middle of sthg....

All the Bust!

I guess people suffer from blog shyness...though good to see Monkey stepping up and posting. Mamu...arre kuch to likh!

Uncle is I guess busy biting the heat and dust in UP while Kaushal does the same in Punjab..Nidzzz is off to Goa for the weekend...where she will be sipping beer and enjoy the rain and sand! Heard its pouring badly there...While Divya looks to make Chandini Chowk her second home till the W-Day!

Inside Man was neat..but abrupt ending. Denzel's one liners are to die for in the movie!..some of them are absolutely incredible. Clive Owen too was pretty good...played the part very well.

Dont think anything is possible for the weekend as race and football is on air! And as far as watching games in pubs is concerned...all good games are midnite..so that goes outta the window...but still we can go and catch some action.

Motu i dont why is abstaining from writing here...he too is going to bombay sometime next week...Please pray ladies and gentlemen...mufti runs into Esha Deol (baby is a word far too better word to be wasted on someone like her!!) Otherwise ala Mast....next time any of you are in Mumbai...chances are u will have Motu driving an Auto..circling around her house!

Ahh...Ramu's factory has another story too look at! But this time it will be called "Bust"...here is how the story goes:


A small town Johnny (mote..u dont deserve to be called big city lad after ur stints in Merrut, Raipur, Jabalpur, Patiala, Bhopal and Sangrur!) after trying his luck and hand (pun intended) on every second girl he met finally falls for a Bollywood heroine (in between a few "parrots".... flew in some parties). He drives his friends crazzzzy with stupid bull crap about her. A few friends start insulting the heroine. Johnny gets upset! Threatens to screw everyone's lives. In between throws a few comments like "I am off". Enter a Murari from Bihar....who holds some dark deep secrets about Johnny! The usual blackmail goes...and Ala Hatimtai Johnny knows his life is in a parrot's neck! (Motu...is there some fascination for parrots?)


Anyways..one fine day Johnny goes to Mumbai Nagariya...in hope of meeting the love (or shall we call it lust?) of his life. Sweats it around for a coupla days realising that he has to stay there forever to find true love. And as they say..hope springs eternal, he starts driving an auto near the area where she lives. Tired and exhausted, one day Johnny is sitting in a Chhamiya Bar...when suddenly (with the movie Hum's music when AB gets angry is playing) encounters lust of his life gyrating and doing some pelvic thrusts! In the background he sees the Mast hero....He knows the truth! Johnny is heartbroken! He realises that his plans go Bust...and what he was after was actually the Bust of the Lust!

With a qualified auto driver's license in his pocket and tears in his eyes..he returns to his old life of tennis, sleep and muftkhori!


THE END!!!

Last heard...Steven Spielberg is looking for Johnny to act in the Hollywood remake of Bust!!


P.S: Sorry people...getting majorly bored at work! As they say "An empty mind is a Devil's Workshop"

Welcome the Punjab Ka Munda

So it was boredom in jalandhar that got monki to write....but m glad that finally some1 else also wrote on this blog...good boy monki, and I liked ur sign-off....tpyi IHM style...chow ;)....India ne bhi apni lagwa hi li....saale couldnt get the tail enders out....anyways just 2 days to go for the world cup....that'l be quite a relief....and Raikonnen I doubt too, but it'll be a nice sporty weekend....and m sure v r not meeting newhere...every1 is so busy....btw a lot of pubs are doing football wkends with beer....like we saw at Blues....maybe a couple of bhasad matches v shud watch there....wearing our team tees :)

Good point monki raised about inviting Bobby and Pallavi....no one rep on that...toh main kaise invite karoon....atlst yes hi bol dete.....and honestly I dont know whether both of them want to be a part of the blog or not....so will the resp ppl plz ask them :)

Me and minks saw Inside Man last nite....Denzel Washington is too kool....altho Jodie Foster toh cam back unnec...no need for her in the movie....the bank robbery was awesome....but overall an incomplete movie....MI III is releasing on the 9th..

Monki keep on writing buddy....and ciao it is :)

:-)

helllooozz...m in jalandhar n getting bore here...kuch karne ko nahi hai..test match n french open dekh ke time pass ho raha hai... thankfully friday se world cup start ho raha hai...neways in the evening i was watching this match between venus william and nicole vaidisova, which nicole won..it was grt match..nicole played brilliantly n abhi she is only 17..n hot too.. sunday ko race bhi hai n m praying for raikonnen's victory, though chances r bleak ;-)..
btw in one of the post i read that bhaiya's gonna invite bob b and pallavi, kya hua?? where r they?? waise pallavi ki industrial training kab over ho rahi hai;-)??? chalo i l leave abhi..chow

History did not repeat itself

Big B did not come...apparently he sprained his ankle and missed the flight...but today only I saw a story in DT that he was partying for his anniversary ;)...Amitji hain isliye gaali nahi de sakta...but meeting him twice would have been too much of a good luck :).....the week was hectic as usual so cudnt write on the blog too.....


This week looks slightly better....spoke to kaushal yest...is in c'garh....looking for a house....how sad na that he cant write on the blog....or he wud have given us updates on wats going on....but its understandable that he's busy....with 'S'o many women in his life, its not diffi to be busy....;)



Mota toh lets not talk about....mote yaar pehle bata deta ki english mein itna likhna tere liye tuff hoga...I could have found out a hindi blogging site....and this isnt isf also jahan par toh cut copy kar ke likh deta....koi baat nahi, I hope u pick up something that u can write on......btw did u c sehwag's new look...again he reminds me of the look u had in between :)



Me and li'l bro went to the adi sale...which was just for employees and their family/friends....and it was pure madness.....I mean the way people were literally snatching things....minks tried to snatch a t-shirt but the other end was held by an aunty who could have easily been from WWF (no pun here ;).....and obv he let her have the t-shirt....very wise move it was...



Blues was fun....esp coz we left before he could have played Himesh....overall the music was good...but HS people were hosting the dinner...its been long since we went to South Ex and played mastermind....lets hope this saturday we can make it....


Finally I saw Da Vinci....its a good movie....although Audrey Tautou is a very bad choice for the movie....she appears to be shocked all the time...whereas in the book the character is really smart...Tom Hanks also wakes up in the 2nd half....Lee teabing is the best character I thght...and obv the ending was awesome....any verdict on Inside Man.....heard Denzel Washington has done a damn good job....I am sure Uncle will be the 1st one to give the review...but Lucknow mein toh it will called "andar ka aadmi" ;)....btw I heard some1 predict the other day that within 2 years lucknow will be the place....and the beauty quotient is also going up.....I am sure no city has done this much for an RSM....keep it up Lucknow ;)

I am sure no1 here has the chutti to go to Kanha....but we can try going out for 4 two wkends...1 for c'garh with Kosal and 1 for the Nawabon ka shehar....I am not using the word p**n here ;)...

Too long a post this is becoming...hope some1 else also writes....or mebbe Mamu can put some quiz questions on this....sthg interesting it'l b.....ciao it is then

History mite repeat itself

Yes guys history might repeat itself on Fri.....I am handling the IIFA press conference again this year and Amitabh Bachchan is coming again....and with him should be Nandita Das and A R Rahman.....dont know much time they will have on them....but if they do, will try and get a pic and an autograph...btw Uncle the HP conference went off well today...hopefully u'l read about it in the papers :)

Every1 still seems to be very busy....anyways tu tu it is from me

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...

congrats dude !!!

congrats anubhav !!!!! loyalty paid, finally :-) now toh a grand grand treat is due. btw, guys im off to chd on thurs, hope to find a good house thr.

Welcome the Nidhi

Finally busy and HS peoples have contributed :)....welcome ji....I am fine with friday and saturday both....kosal isnt here on the wkend...but uncle is coming i think....mayank is also here till sat....I think lets go on the first day only....any show aft 7 o clock shud suit every1, apart from ppl who hate docs ;).....and if del is booked then g'gaon m sure will be available....whichever day plz lets c it this wkend....and Fanaa??? what is wrong with u....as in fine we havent seen ne movie for quite sometime but still.....Da Vinci it is....

da vinci code

hi guys & gals...

for those who are wondering how i took time out in off ..pl note that i didnt blog from off.... im at home now so thought of blogging....
now to get to imp things..

da vinci is finally releasing this friday and after wasted eforts last week to see the movie , lets plan on who all are interested for the same this weekend... i am fine with both friday as well as saturday...please do let me know of your plans so that i can get the tickets, (hope it is not already fully booked... )

also who all interested in seeing fanaa..... we can catch that too incase we dont get da vinci....

pl keep me posted thru thi blog or sms..

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!

Eleveth error ;)

Hey guys....Da Vinci is releasing next week....so all the hectic coordination that nidhi was doing since mrng gets p'poned to next week....but since we have time now lets book early....deva shud be in next week....he's not coming this wkend.....Mota and mayank also wont be here so its just the delhites....

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...

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 :)

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.....

th one who played cyrus

deva's maiden attmpt on ths superblog was no less than "fully fully faltoo" dude, plz spare us frm such crap in th future.

som HS ppl mite b finding ths blog too cheap to write bak, thts y they came up wid those lame excuses. btw guys, nidhi "cry baby" gulia has thanked me 'n' numbr of times for givin her NKM's fone nmbr. yeah, i met NKM whn in hyderabad n took his nmbr for nidhi. vidya, in case u dont kno who ths hunk is, aabhas can provide u wid the reqd masala.

dear kopanfield, plz dont wtch "ankahee". ur baby has lived upto her image n has givn som slutty scenes. we told u she n aftab had somthng brewing between em.

one good thing that came out of all this natak was that our dear vineet kumar deva got more publicity. he is now officially my 'dail-a-quote'.

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

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!

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....
