the Past and the furious

Statutory WARNING: High Satire content Ever wonder what kumar gaurav is doing now..? and where on earth is shakti kapoor..?? well today i shall take a dab at our forgotten celebrities (when they were celebrated) and what we can learn from them.. ya we can learn from everyone, including rabri devi.. what lessons did we learn..? Forgotten Celeb 1 Vinod Kambli : Never cry in public , especially if you remove your helmet to reveal diamond studded earrings and a punk style bandana.. it gives an impression that you are crying because you will no longer be able to make money to embellish yourself! Forgotten Celeb 2 Shakti Kapoor : Naughty boy.. Naughty boy, be a fatherly figure to your juniors... not a father to their offspring.. Forgotten Celeb 3 Rabri Devi : It does not hinder the process of running a state if you call up your husband in the middle of a meeting and ask how is the 3rd calf of the 4th cow doing..?! Forgotten Celeb 4 Manisha koirala : who..? Forgotten Celeb 5 Abdul Kareem Telg

The 'COLOUR' of my love

this one is from my archives, one of the 1st articles i wrote.. about 4 years back i guess i was obsessed with the bizzare then! :) read on... The following is a unique usage of COLOURS. the passage contains about 25 colours substituted in place of words... try to correlate each colour to a word sounding similar and you will understand it better. if you are still not able to figure it out , the original words follow the passage in the same order.Just put them in and read it out. ALL THE CHARACTERS IN THE FOLLOWING FEATURE ARE FICTIOUS AND BEAR NO RESEMBLENCE TO ANY PERSON.. LIVING OR DEAD. THE " COLOUR " OF MY LOVE Am i REDy fo this???? is this the end to my long WHITE?? someone has started appearing in my CREAMES and i am GREEN to know... who is this ? who just BLUE me away!!!! something is GOLDing me back and i have a PINKing feeling in my heart.. who is she??? am i a CYAN of her? why does it feel like she is saying YELLOW to me all the time..

A day down under...

its 8.30 Am.. and i am still feeling lazy to get outta bed.. actually its not a bed..its a mattress on the floor.. its actually 2 mattresses.. where am i heading.? ok.. now that the first few words have been useless.. its time to know what i will be writing this time.. a Typical day in melbourne..:) As i stay in a suburb far far away in a galaxy.... i have to catch a train to go to work.. my workplace is in the city. This terminology might be misleading.. cos in India..every part of the city is city but here.. only a set of streets is city and it is surrounded by suburbs... btw all the streets look the same in the city and sound the same too..there is kings way,kings street,kings road,queens street,queens road... huh so much for royalty... and to make matters worst every suburb has its own kings street,kings road,queens street.what unimaginative ppl.. they just dont understand how good a Punjagutta or Tolichowki sounds! so i take a 10 minute walk to the station and validate my 'Met

The Quintessential Hyderabadi

"arre bhai.. kaiko uske peeche jaare tum... tumko is galli me jao bola na main.. samajh mein nahi aaya kya... kahan kahan se aate re bhai yeh autowalleh...!!"this sentence will cause severe brain haemorrage if you are a connoisseur of pure hindi ... or the north india kinda hindi.. but it its pretty normal to the hyderabadi..! it is the only place on the planet where work has a plural form.. kya saab hame aur bhi kaama hein.. kitna dete hum ko..? (kaama is supposed to be the plural of kaam) welcome to hyderabad.. where hindi is spoken like u've never heard before, with a mix of urdu and a pinch of telugu. It is the land of Pan grafitti and the self assumed king of the roads.. the auto wallahs.. Even though lucknow,ahmedabad and hyderabad have a similarity in the kind of hindu muslim community ratio.. it is the language of the hyderabadi that makes him unique and by far the most entertaining.. :) When you here this lingo for the first time , it 'll seem wierd.. but on

My Journey to OZ Land - Part Trois

MH 199 KUL - MEL got into a bigger flight this time as it was a 7.5 hrs journey. It was a boeing 777 thistime , but the seating looked similar to the 737 one. But this one had a TV set behind each seat.. so i could watch what i could. Just finished watching "Rebound".. Martin Lawrence starrer.. a comedy one.. nice timepass.. Had a heavy lunch... it was a hindu meal.. and it had non-veg again.There was curd,gulab jamun,fruit salad,pepsi,icecream... huh. finished them all.. and feeling pretty heavy.There is somelady sitting beside me... wish it would be someone else.. i mean someone whom i can talk to but again.. there is this feeling that if i start cracking my jokes, then.. ok lets not get started on that. There are some hindi movies also to be watched.. eg: Kya kool hain hum.. the super hitmovie.. if i am unable to sleep,, then i will watch it.just another 4 hrs left before i touch down in melbourne city.My cousin would be waitin for me.. this is similar to a volvo bus journ

My journey to OZ land - Part Deux

MH 199 HYD-KUL my first brush with an international flight... and i was greeted by airhostess's dressed in greeeeeeeeen.... all of them.. even the interiors of the malaysian airlinesflight were predominantly green.. making me wonder, am i travelling to Indonesia or malaysia... (those of u who dint get that one.. indonesia has the world's largest muslim populationso... green is the color of that nation,, ) anyways.. moving on.. i first went through the business class.. man they have some luxuries..but i was shown seats at the back of the aircraft.. as mine was economy class. There were7 seats in each row.. and as expected, the window seat was mine.. 3/4th of the flightwas empty.., so i slept on 4 seats fully stretching myself.. thank god.. else it would have been similar to a painful Volvo bus journey.. just the difference being.. we are spared of the bumps.. (had a few though on the Hyd runway!!) and somewhat better looking ppl to take care of you. they started serving all kin

My journey to OZ land - Part Une

i am sitting in the security lobby of the airport here.. and narrating my experience of my flight journey abroad... :) got a laptop.. so i can type as things happen.. but i thought my company gave me a laptop for different reasons.. !! my hand baggage was no where near the stipulated 8Kgs.. and my shoulders are swooning.. the total luggage itself crossed the limit.. but the guy at malaysian air.. knew mom..so things were cool... and here i am, carrying more than what im supposed to.. there are nothing but clothes in my luggage... and yeah.. the usual pickles.. that grandmom made with lotta love and chilli powder...!!there was the usual gathering of guests at the house making it almost impossible to have some time for myself.. it was a nice feeling to stand on the other side of the huge barricade in the Hyd airport..atlast after seeing off 6732 people.. i get to go out of india.. and ppl have come to see me off.. :) :) well.. i know.. i kinda exaggerate a bit.. !! just saw the Lufthansa

The Nickname repeller..

nickname... do you u have one..?? you are pretty unlucky if you dont have one..well, having a nickname is something not everyone boasts of... and this time i am trying to ponder why i never ever had a nick name throughout my schooling and engineering...that is.. the nickname i know of, and not what ppl who dint like me said behind my back :) lemme give you a small example, take a simple conversation.. A : hey dude, what are you doin for 31st nite ?? B : i guess i will have a blast with bigshow,goli,ragz,vp and itom well howz that compared to .. B : i guess i will have a blast with karthik,ramakrishna,raghavendra,pavan and swathi..!!?? the first answer sounded much better ain't it.? There is something special that the nickname brings to one's personality that the name doesn't..!(lotta crap) and after you get a nick name, you just give up ur real name and i know scores of people who just know the nick names and not the original names of ppl..! thats the kind of affect the it

Compliments... err.. i mean

Ladies and gentlemen.. my foray into blogging .. hmmm..its been a loooooong break.. im back to writing nonsense again.. just that im trying to rediscover my old self..was reading all the stuff that i had written earlier.. and realised im not that bad.. if people can pass off as excellent script and story writers with movies like 'kaal' and 'murder' then i too am a great writer...... :) am still searching for a topic while i am writing, someone suggest one wait.. lemme think... i think i'll write about the art of giving compliments .... wow, the word itslef sounds great.... especially if u hardly recieve them... it is that much more coveted. Just imagine someone coming up to you and saying.. "wow ur looking terrific today"it certainly makes you feel good but there are some people...... u give them compliments and they are like.. "hmm ya.. tell me something new..".. u'd rather not give them any compliments.Well the whole point im trying to prov
