A new week

Heyloz....monday again....and like Mili said it is the same for all of us....and Mili plz feel free to crib, I am sure all of us will be able to relate it in some way or the other....rem dukh baantne se kam hota hai ;-)

Weekend was good with Man U defeating Arsenal and two really late nights with someone or the other over for drinks....both nights I think I slept like 4-4.30 am....wifey refused to go for QMG saying it is fun for 10 mins on TV but not when it is a 2 hour movie...and since the subject is sensitive, toh I have agreed....waiting for more reviews to convince her.

Uncle called that day ki dono bhai mil ke meri FB pe baja rahe ho, but I was in office so couldnt talk...and then vid tried calling him but then some things never change...his phone was on waiting ;-)

By this weekend, K's Wagon R will be sold I think....and I will be looking for a car...I dont know if you guys know but he has been a great help and I have been using his car since a bastard started driving mine....but then shraadh begin by this sat so for another two weeks I will be without a car...I dont know if it happens with you guys, but the urge to buy sthg new is so strong during shraadh that its not funny ;-)....the options that I am considering are Ford Fiesta, Fiat Linea or the DZire....has to be under 7L otherwise Safari is the choice...if you guys have time, look up these cars and then lets do some tp.

Chalo back to work now...Ta

Running Against Time!!

Hi people..

M sure everyone has a crazy busy life..i know i am living one..

The biggest disappointment was Kaminey..na na not the movie but the fact that I could not watch it. Apparently movies here in the solitary hindi theatre are put up only for two weeks and somehow everyone watched it but me :( So now I am waiting for the dvd print to be released on line..which I know is going to take forever...aah..m pretty pissed at that, specially wen someone drove all that way to watch the movie with NITYA LAKSHMI who is ready to go again next weekend..

ok kaushal before you get mad, m assuming reading her post..but nyways me n nidhi are the only ones who havent watched it..
but season 6 of desp housewives has started, so I am not complaining.

I feel as if I am running against time.Its not even been a week since classes started but I can already feel the pressure..there is my internship, classes, 20 hours of job, the same old story...I am sure u guys arent interested in listening to my cribbing..

but I agree with kaushal on one thing. I hv no idea wat the hullaboo is al bout..sumtimes I feel I hv no clue whats happening in India over what, though I dutifuly do read the times of india epaper..oh gosh..did i say that??vidya wil complain now :)

so wt is the jagannath thing is al bout??

i hv to take a core course this semester which is health systems management and I hate it cuz its all about the US health system, which I already do not know much about and wen people debate crazily about the current health reform I just listen..But its been very interesting because I am learning a lot about the health system, its loopholes n stuff..I used to think their system sucks and it got reaffirmed attending the class that it does..

on the top of my head, I dont know wat else to write bout..sumtimes there is nothing great happening, yet so much...hv recently seen super active deva on facebook..3 updates in one day :) and bobby also managed to write one..though wt was she super happy about I don't know
why is vidya sick?

Kaushal hd u heard me and taken ur tv along with you wouldn't hv to buy one now..

nyways people..better get working..

u guys hv a great weekend..

mili

sunny days are here again

saw the promos of quickgun in the interval of kaminey. looks funny as well as stupid. wud be fun to wtch it in a house full of tams. for kaminey i rode for 200 km, for rambha i can ride for 1000 :-) i wont be surprised if CG-6 goes for the first day first show. and anubhav, wht is ths halla over "apna haath jagannath" in kaminey. will call u in th evening to know more. im completely out of touch with the outside world for the last 3 weeks or so. aaj airtel DTH toh lag jayega but i dont think it will work of on PHILIND tv (yes, ths is the brand of the TV which our landlord has given us, that too without a remote). will get a new one though, dont want to miss out on the EPL action anymore. goin to a bar to wtch chelsea's game costs 150-200 bucks (yes, the bars are not very expensive here. but then they can't afford to be since they are not that great).
its sunny here today after almost 5-6 days. so good light to shoot. have two back to back submission on fri n sat.

Quick Gun Murugan

Heyloz...yes the faymus south indian sooperstarr is now in a muvee....by the same name and guess who is making a comeback in the movie...Thunder Thighs Rambhaa...K and CG-6 will defi watch this movie...it releases this fri and maybe we will catch a show soon....btw people from 'in-law' land are very upset....their biggest counter is that has anyone from south made fun of how ridiculous mithun da and his movies are ;-)....touche saar....but sometimes I feel, getting upset is more of a publicity stunt than real feelings...like the times Darjeeling burned 'coz RJ Nitin called the Indian Idol a gurkha or how the Puri Trust is upset over 'Apna Haath Jagannaath' in Kaminey...I mean I agree there is a fine line b/w insult and humor but people seem to deleting the line deliberately for publicity.

Work toh is as usual....feeling much better now...but vid is not well now...once she is better she will share her story

Minks sent a wonderful article from WSJ yesterday....on how FB can ruining our real world relationships....I am sure all of us feel the same about a lot of people in our real lives....here is the link http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204660604574370450465849142.html#articleTabs%3Darticle

I know that social networking is supp to bring us closer etc...but I think where we go wrong is we mix personal, professional,social,family ethg on these sites...I mean once you add someone from work then cribbing about long working hours is not an option...once u add your cuz then a pic of you drinking cannot be put up and so on...I know there are times when I want my real friends to know that I had the most amazing chaat....but then sms is a much better medium I guess...and for the NRI's, I have this blog ;-)

This saturday toh is the first killer match of the EPL season...Arsenal vs Man U...the telecast timing, laziness and our age will ensure that we dont watch this match together...but irrespective, I hope it is a cracker....CG-6 ki team toh is already performing as per expectation....

I am reading 'In Spite of Gods' by Edward Luce these days...he was the earlier Financial Times correspondent for India...married to an Indian who works for the WB...the book was written in '06 and like most expat accounts, tries to expose the real India....read corrupt,casteist,under developed,illiterate etc etc...In case any of you are reading sthg, please recommend....like the ladies recommend TV shows ;-)

Back to work again guys....take care

hunting for a 2nd had TV and bsnl broadband

scary pics of del monsoon man. things are better here. baarish toh roz hoti hai but no such madness. normally the mornings are bright and sunny and it starts to get cloudy by noon n then rains in the afternoon/evening. it means lesser or no dust and ofcourse no summer heat like delhi.

went to coimbatore (abt 90 km one way) to wtch kaminey. strtd at 8 in th mrng. rchd thr at 12:30 and came to know that its no longer showing in the theatre where it was released. so went to another theatre, whch happened to reliance's big cinemas. but the show was at 6:30 pm. so waited for almost 6 hours. had lunch, 2-3 rounds of coffee and other coolers, played wii and wht not to kill the time. and when i entered the hall, i felt as if i've entered a DTC bus. big cinema had the smallest hall i had ever seen. it was only 8-seats wide. 4 on either side. anyway, it was AC and the movie was good so didnt mind it.

in the process of getting a TV and internet connection now. will wtch all the videos mili and anubhav hav put.

yellooz

aloha everyone...
sorry been a lazy bum and didnt feel like writing in... and then thought sab ka yahi haal hoga toh then back to square one...plus mili and anubhav and vidya are putting in loads of effort so should do my little bit...

Options of tv- Lost-can get to you after season 3 though
House- seen the 1st episode today...quite interesting... all medical stuff.. but nothing like greys
Greys anatomy- for puri drama in english.. but awesome... it just holds u glued to the TV

Rome- i guess this is not going to be aired in India... but see the DVD's... all abt the time of Julius ceaser... very enjoyable, captivating... and you will not want to get up... i saw 22 episodes in 3 days.. pretty much non-stop

baaki- desperate housewives, old rereuns of sex and the city and ugly betty are fillers....

so now u guys know how entertaining my life is..;)

and a yr back i was crying for a break....hahahahaha

and Vidya-- abt the earthquakes... unfortunately i dont have an option abt living here...if i did i wouldnt be anyway near any earthquake, tsunami zone....apparently there is a BIG ONE that can come in the next 20 odd yrs... which will kill pretty much 50% of the population here... called the Tokai earthquake- you can wiki it for more info... just pray to god tht i dont see tht...coz tht will be crazy....

anubhav- how are u feeling... are u still quarantined.... or now free....

swine flu scare was crazy here...esp if someone who has travelled abroad comes visiting you and leaves your number as a contact point... but they are great at managing it at the airport itself-starting with thermal cameras...that pick up any sign of high body temp...
then they call after abt 5 days to inquire abt the travellers health... to check for any flu symptoms... and tell you to come to a clinic where they will give you appropriate medication....

anyhow the Japanese population is quite paranoid abt cold, cleanliness etc... khud cold hota hain toh mask pehenke ghoomte hain....

i hope things become slightly manageable in India... i have my sisters wedding and the last thing i want is anyone falling sick then.....

rest all well... recently had awesome biryani made by someone from lahore.... seekh kebabs and biryani ....

Mili- please keep some time off in delhi when you land...coz ill be there definitely..so we should catch up....

hows the rest of the junta.. are they alive or the corporate life has eaten them away....

im dying to see kaminey after reading tons of reviews... waiting for good pirated version.....
:)

anyhow.... take care guys... have a lovely week....
ciao

u wud want to watch it back to back..

yaar aisi baarish yaahan roz ho rahi hai..but trees are yes not falling..but m not too optimistic as this is the hurricane season..n they hv startd arriving now...

hey....

hey guys... after reading the posts i realised that i had been missing in action for a long long time.

First the Swine Flu update- Mill/Nidhi i guess u both are in countries where the first wave is almost over. In any case, just watch out for one symtpom. If anyone u know has fever and is breathless.. Run to the hosp. breathlessness means the lungs have been infected... it will become pneumonia..

Btw Nidhi, ur lionhearted!!! And I was worried about Delhi being a seismic zone!!! :) i'd run like hell if i were in an earth quake prone region.

Anyway.. i guess Anubhav and I should also start watching some serial, usually have nothing to do after coming from work.. I think TV channels conspire and show crappiest stuff when u have time to watch TV!! Khair...the choice is between Lost and Entourage.... wat say?

Its a working Saturday so i will leave in a bit. These days you have no clue what lies in store when u leave the house!!! The rains keep getting crazier each time... i was so glad the tree dint land on any car yesterday!! anyway;... gotto go now. BTW Today is GC's birthday... but the dad-to-be is spending it at work and then meeting family for dinner. We are all ageing at the speed of light! (dunno why that thought occured so suddenly!!!) anyway.. tchao!

When it rains in del

Heylo pplz...yest was another rainy day in Delhi..and the usual madness followed...vid saw trees falling in front of her, with her car in bumper deep water, cellphone networks failed...a road caved in...the airport's roof partly collapsed and more such stories....as many FB status's reflect, delhites are happy that we dint have a regular monsoon....

Some pics courtesy MSN....this is 4.30 in the afternoon

Quarantined...almost

Heylo pplz...I think with my current state of cold and cough, blogging is the safest way to communicate....yesterday evening I stepped out of my house after 50 hours...thanks to the swine flu panic....luckily I have not had fever or any other symptoms yet...just a bad cough and lil cold...lets hope it doesnt worsen.

I really liked the video mili...thanks...I am sure it must be great working and studying in such a multi cultural environ...and we all are looking fwd to your coming back....this year has actually flown by....I mean its already been a year u went there...but I think all time which has passed seems like it has flown

With Kaminey gone, the next movie I am really keen on is Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds....the US release is today so I am sure the NRI's will go one up on the desis on this one....

spot light

he he..

guys u hv to see this video..n cuz i feature in this..better not miss my "moment of glory"

on a sincere note, it wil show u sum glimpses of nola that i really want u guys to see..

Looks like everyone is very busy again...or maybe the blog is on its old route again....

The weekend was interesting...saw Kaminey, The Hangover and New York...in the order of my liking....Vishal Bhardwaj gives us hope that spending Rs 225 on a ticket is not a bad idea....it is a very well made movie, though the climax did disappoint me a bit...not in the execution though...it has a mix of languages from Bangla to marathi to some afrikaans...without any sub titles except once...must watch movie in a long time

HT City has an article by Jaydeep Ghosh today which gives a new meaning to FB...according to him, gone are the days when the initials were used as a an acronym for facebook...now it is f**k buddies and the trend is catching up...he mentions that women mags have also started promoting the trend...i did know of a couple like this when I was with genesis but then I thought they were just being cool...times are changing quite fast

@Mili - when u come to India, can you check on the prices of the Nintendo Wii....will let you know well in advance if I need it...for how long are u coming

The rest is just the same....not feeling very well today and every cough is scary with the flu in the air...2 people in office have been coughing since last week, so maybe they have passed it on...lets see

How men (abroad) talk to their wives

None of the guys on this blog can pull this off...with their wives ie...we have done it with motu a number of times though ;-)

Happy Independence Day guys!!! Lets hope this year is better than the last for India!!

Lord Krishna would have liked this

Cheerleaders and belly dancers at the janmashtmi celebrations by NCP in Mumbai....this is why politicians need to have a Ghajni'esque memory....they were the ones who closed the dance bars ;-)

All kaminey in del

Surprising that kaminey ke liye junta is ready to ride for 7 hours...and kahan it is used to be a bad word....waise aajkal most of the radio channels have something or the other on with kaminey or kaminapanti or sthg like that...subah ek mrs handa called one channel and was complaining about her friend's kaminapanti...she doesnt pay for conveyance when we go for shopping and movie mein jab paapkorn ya coldrinks lete hain toh woh kehte hai ki haw mrs handa main apna 500 ka note dressing table pe bhool gayi ;-)

As the resident health journo predicted, Swine Flu is here to stay....and now the govt is trying to ease the panic by saying that it is just another disease...dont panic etc etc....

Aaj toh the drive to work was super sweet.....3/4th of the offices are shut due to janmashmtmi....so no traffic at all....the only silver lining of coming to work when the rest of the world is off on a long weekend

Chalo ji...back to work...happy Janmashtmi peoples, happy Independence Day in advance and enjoy the weekend

no kaminey in ooty

good to know tht mili n julia had a great time. white n dirty linen looks really interesting but fireworks?? i really dont think so. i dont understand why firangs are so crazy abt them. 80 min long......must have emitted more smoke than all the chulhas of india do in one year. fucking hypocrites.

i know vidya it must be extremely boring to file the same story everyday. every job sucks. dont think too mch abt it. and anubhav, i hope u didnt upset ur stomach with those rayjma rice. kaminey was one movie i was waiting for. i mite ride down to b'lore (abt 7 hrs) to wtch it. faahid n piggy chops.

PS: iss computer ki space key kaam nahi kar rahi hai. maa ki $%&*#

Best swine flu joke

Credit goes to Mamu...i have just updated the figures

1100 people get swine flu and the entire world wants to wear a surgical mask. 20 million have AIDS but still nobody wants to wear a condom.

But jokes apart, swine flu is spreading quite fast....the resident health journalist says that since the symptoms are exactly like normal flu it is quite difficult to catch...and also, it is here to stay...for like a good 2-3 years....so everyone should be on high alert and not ignore any symptoms.

Mumbai and Pune toh have shut schools and multiplexes...airlines and hotels are sufrering too...lonavla has appealed to tourists to avoid coming during the aug 15th wkend...so in all not very good

Just one more day for the weekend....:-)

another fan :)

Hey nidhi I cant tell you how excited I am to know that you are a lost fan too..

I literally stumbled onto lost when I was on abc's website checking out shows on a bored weekend..oh fish........after the first episode I watched all seasons back to back..I mean my frends had started saying that may be m appearing for a lost exam thats y I am onto it..and I just can't wait for the last season..

Anubhav my headaches are still the same.. I have just stopped thinking about them.they come and they go and come again wo warning..I had a lovely deal for dec tickets for 1100 dollars n my agent screwed it up an now the same ticket is costing 1500 dollars..wtf....

If I had to start explaining to Sandra what a dhoti is god save me..

M looking fwd to Kaminey too....

gotta get bk to work..m knee deep in it..

ciao guys

Anurag Kashyap's next

I am not sure but maybe u guys know....his next movie is Doga with Kunal Kapoor....again dont know how many of u know Doga....he is a cross between a dog and a man (some weird tharki bastard and Raj Comics to blame)....so basically its a man with the head of a dog...and AK says it will be multi million budget with spl effects etc....

Is he also going the RGV way....I hope not...although I wont mind other guys making movies on Super Commando Dhruv or Nagraj :-)
Heylo pplz....good to see that all our NRD's (Non Resident Delhites) are contributing regularly....or maybe I am just reading the blog after a long time :-)

After a hectic weekend, we were graced by CG-6 who was coming down from great heights....he had gone to Kullu,Manali and Leh....even Akshay and Vidya were in town....so it was good to catch up with them as well....Varsha was busy with the family so she dint come and CG-6 was too full so just had one beer and no food....who said marriage wont change him ;-)

@Nidhi - How come these developed countries have firework displays at every occassion and blame us for pollution on diwali :-)....and considering how earthqauke prone japan is, i think you experienced one quite late....I hope you dont have any more, but then such stories are good to tell when u come to india...the only earthquake I exp was the del one....in 2001 I think...and that also, I slept thru...not that I wanted to be awake thru one ;-)

@ Mills - Yaar yeh umrikans toh sab se fukre hain....but then what can u expect from a country which had Bush as prez for 8 years...maaf kar dete hain unhe....but I am glad ur having fun and can take out time to tell us the stories...how are ur headaches btw?...hope better....and ask Sandra to take a guess why dhotis are still the preferred garment for 70% of India...that might answer her question ;-)...or she has to visit the land of K'sutra(pun intended) to find an answer

Twitter is basically a micro blogging site, where u cannot post more than 140 chars....Mili, the ones which start with 'http' are the links which you can click on and read more details....it is good fun, but only if you want to keep a tab on news or your fav topics...not at all like FB or any social networking site....atleast in India, where the usage is quite low.

As far as Manoj ji is concerned....I dont know why but sms's dont reach him...ek toh he has taken such a tough number to remember...and he says this was the best one....somehow I have a mind block with numbers not starting with 98...they just dont seem like cell numbers too...including my official number....

My boss just called me to ask if I know the recipe of "Rayjma Rice"....she is getting that made for me today :-)....considering thats what I order every friday, its not tough to guess what I like....and my non fussy nature of liking very few veggies helps

Will get back to work now....saw LAK btw...on a DVD and trust me its not even worth the time...forget the money etc....deepika looks good but her yaccent is too much jee...and saif toh hasnt come out of the the 'hum tum' mould....rishi kapoor looks more foolish than ever...dont know why the sikhs protested against saif's look, they should have done that for rishi kapoor's look....all in all, complete waste of time....the movie of the year will be kaminey....aug 14th it is.

Quite a week

Aloha....

Ive had quite a week..... after the bday... (thanks a ton for the lovely wishes all of you) i thought i will start leading a better... more mature life...

but AHA..... i dont think i can..... akshay and me picked up DVD's of LOST...and there we got hooked to it.....

since then we have seen each and every episode of LOST.... on the 4th season now..... and pretty much back to back......

in between however i went a saw the fireworks at the Tokyo Bay.... they have about 80 min of fireworks.... on the bay to celebrate summer.... and its gorgeous.....

everyone and anyone who is in Tokyo goes around the bay... and sees the fireworks.... people come all dressed up in kimono's and yukatas.... get their food and beer... and sit around with family and friends and enjoy the 12000 boom factor spectacle...... and the team responsible doesn't let go very easily.... they are very innovative.. making hearts, smileys, carnations, shooting stars, mickey mouse bows, cats etc from the fireworks....

and of course the biggest and the loudest display gets all the WOW's from everyone... and trust me when you're sitting with so many ppl and suddenly every one goes WOW together...its awesome.....

anyway... so while seeing lost.... i experience my first earthquake... .and guys i mean it.. everything around me was shaking... water was moving... glasses were making the noise... i actually held on to the table coz i was scared..... and though initially i was laughing and excited later on i was scared....

and guess wat... again today on the morning at 5 there was an earthquake......
and i can confidently say im not looking forward to any more.....

@ mili- good to see you're having a blast... and don't worry... even i thought its Indians who run for free food and drinks..when i see the locals and even expats here who run for food and drinks... i cant help but laugh..... bas khana de do....life is perfect for them...

@ vidya- i can imagine how reporting for swine flu can be irritating.... but its becoming worse there right..... so you should be careful yourself....

@ kosal- buddy im happy you're enjoying you're new life....hope you're doing a great job of the assignments...and you make all of us proud.... send us some nice snaps of ooty.. ive always wanted to go there..... and if i remember correctly mithun chakroborty has a big hotel there... so maybe u bump into him there.....;)

so now i get back to my LOST... have some breakfast.... and pray for earthquake free stay in japan.....

enjoy ure day...

Dirty Linen Night

Hi all..

Hope you have a fun and uneventful weekend!

I had a good weekend too in New Orleans style..

Friday evening was dinner at a frends place. thanks to one of my frend who is leaving for Baltimore for Phd I get invited to all his good bye dinners..

And Saturday I went for the Dirty Linen Night. Nola is full of parties and I think they don't need an excuse for a party. So Dirty Linen Night is basically in response to the White Linen Night that takes a week before. Since Aug is a slow month for Nola in terms of tourists (owing to the hurricane and all) the New Orlenas Art warehouse association holds white linen night on Juliet street where all the art galleries are free and open to the public. You get good deals at the art work of famous and budding artists, you also get to see artists showing their work right there. Juliet street has some of the most expensive and famous art galleries of nola so the street is closed and it almost is a pedestrian mall where you can venture around galleries. People have to wear white (I don't know why except maybe cuz its classy) and there is great music and stuff..

Dirty linen night started 8 years back as a response to white linen where galleries at the Royal street said why should we miss out on this and so they named it dirty linen night. People are encouraged to wear the same linen they wore for white linen which is stained with wine and dirty and come and have fun..

Now the great thing bout dirty linen is tht the galleries serve free wine and food..So Sandra (my frend) and me had tons of white wine, then red, then champagne, then there was a beer keg, also free pizza..so all in all its fun..We checked out some of the most amazing art stuff and ofcourse I kept on getting wine glasses for Sandra..for every glass Sandra had to say "isn't it awesum to be having free liquor" ?? Well..me not being quite a drinker dint have much to say but I must tell you Americans have sumthing about free food and liquour..they will go any place, wud do nything for free food..I mean I know Indians have this whole thing bout free liquor too but its a bit too much with Americans..they would help you move ur stuff if you have beer to offer them..they wud come to ur temple gathering not understanding a word but cuz there is free dinner after the sermons..they would call u up and say lets go to this place..hey cuz there is free food..

Also it was the red dress run day in nola on saturday morning, so in the evening when we went for dirty linen there were men all over dressed in red dresses and sneakers..the history of red dress run is a bit too long to be writing here so you can google it if interested to know..what I can tell you is that men and women dress up in red dresses and when I say dresses I mean dresses..u wil see men in red skirts, frocks, long dresses and sneakers and they run a trail of almost five miles and so the end is celebrated with crazy amount of beer in the end..so french quarter where dirty linen happened was swarmed by men in red..I will put sum pics on facebook for you guys to see...

tht was a good weekend..

and I saw the ugly truth on thurday last week which was an amusing movie..the script seemed to be "inspired" from one of the hindi movies..guy helps the gal trap another guy cuz she likes him and in the process falls for her himself..but it was funny...it was definitely a raunchy comedy with a lot of penis and vagina thrown in but it was fun...I think it released in India and if any of you gals like Gerard Butler then u must not miss the movie..

speaking of which at the cost of sounding crass, Sandra asked me if Indian men are good in bed and verbatim her question was "Mills I have heard brown men have small p....".. Is that true?? Are they good in bed?? When she comes up with these kind of questions out of the blues I have to collect my thoughts before I answer her..

@Anubhav: I can only see your twitter updates but can not access it..Is there an article you have been writing there or is it just an update..M clueless about Twitter and m sure that shows..

@Kaushal: Good to know you are having a good time..how did the assignment on sunday go? Did you do a good job? and may be if you started cooking urself you wouldn have to eat out every day..

OK people..enuf for today..

catch up with u later..

Back 2 work after a whirlwind trip to bhopal

Aawww kaushal... mera dil paseej gaya!! Was immaging u in a cyber cafe.. bad keyboard.. no electricity, language barrier!!!

i guess m unnesserily getting senti.. Even i have also u caught huffing and puffing a couple of times... sure ur having a great time!

Nothing new in delhi..bad weather, power cuts... traffic jams. all the same! we are planning to watch some movie this weekend.. either hangover or LAK... hopefully next weekend will be more interesting..thanks to kameeney..if we plan ahead we can watch it together.. wat say Divya?

Baaki nothing else to update.. waiting for husband to reach delhi....filling my zillionth H1N1 story this week. Its boring filling the same story everyday but i guess exciting for me might mean more deaths, mutated virus strains and scary stuff like that! So, its better boring and uneventful than interesting and eventful.

Anyway.. tata..deadline time

no tamil, only inglish saar

thanks for updating the gang abt me bud. looks like all of u are having a gud time wtchng movies, rasool puttar and EI. I reached ooty on the evng of 2nd. took a cab from coimbatore. its a 3-hr journey. the driver, mr. ramaswani kept on talking to me in tamil inspite of my replying to him only in english. but i also didnt tell him tht i didnt know tamil. because of a few words vidya taught me, i understood when he asked me should he stop for dinner, and do i need water etc. classes were supposed to start from 5th but iqbal sir thought it right to start on 3rd itself. and the last 5 days have been really eventful. got this visiting faculty from boston, tim linch. more than 2 and half decades of exp and a great sense of humor makes him a brilliant teacher. classmates r fun too. got a good house after some jaddo-jehed. we shifted yesterday morning and since last evng, thrs no power. so just running arnd to find a linesman frm the elec board to fix it but today and tmrw is a holiday. so lets see how we manage.

weather is great here. and people are also pretty nice. yaar yeh cafe ke keyboard mein saala "N" kaam hi nahi kar raha. bchod 10 baar dabana padta hai. anyway, mast north indian khaane ke liye ek adda dhoodh liya hai - "pankaj bhojanalaya". serves good marwari food. btw, evrybdy here calls a parantha, "parota".........and there are scores of such words. so im having my share of fun. my bike is coming on monday hopefully. the ooty will rock :-) thanks anubhav, for all the pain u took. oh btw, abhi abhi naya nmbr liya hai. will msg in the evng. writing it here is no fun. and its not safe also. adam-teasing u know ;-)

equipment khareed khareed ke bank a/c khaali ho gaya hai but the list doesnt look like ending. abe N haraamzaade chal bhi ab. anyway, as i told all of u earlier, pl strt saving 5k per month for me. will need ur help nxt year :-) please dont go by the smiley, im really serious.

K update

Since our dear Manoj ji is busy in Ooty, I thought I will update the well wishers on his behalf...

His beloved bike is on the way to Ooty....and he has almost finalised a house...being the good friend he is, the house he has chosen has enough space and loos to accomodate guests, with a small lawn and all....he is still using the del number and plans to get a local one by the weekend...classes have started....but most of time that I have called.....he picks up the call heaving and panting,out of breath types....so I am sure he is enjoying the class ;-)

CG-6 and Manwanis are expected to be in town over the weekend but both Vid and I are in bhopal....like I told CG-6 last time...everyone meeting at one go, is almost impossible....esp when visiting guests refuse to answer any calls and are busy having beer at the Beer Garden ;-)...so hope the rest of you can catch up

These days we have an Eddie Izzard night every day, thank you Divya :-)

Has anyone seen Public Enemies already...Johnny Depp movie which releases tomorrow in India....maybe worth a watcg after dumb movies like Kambakht Ishq and LAK....the success of these movies just reflects on the audience...we are going the US way as well anything....if the mktg is good, we buy the product...quality anyways is subjective :-)

Read a very interesting article on the new texting lingo....will paste a link if I find it online...just to make all of us realise our real age
