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 journey.. am unable to stretch my legs.. :( am trying all kinds of postures here.. just dont wanna wake up the lady who is sleeping beside me..i will try sleeping now.. lets see how it goes.. until someone comes and offers me a snack or a drink.. hmm.. signing off for now.. will continue after some time.. or probably after i land in melb.. bye

it was 7.40 pm by the time i landed in melbourne... the city with its lights was gr8. it took me lotta time to get my baggage as i checked it in first at hyderabad.. now i had to wait ages to get it... saw everyone's bags on the conveyor belt... finally got mine and went to the custom's check. I was afraid they will ask me to remove all the food items i was carrying.. but luckily.. they dint.. i was carrying lotta snacks and pickels.. !!! :) :)
My cousin was waiting for me... good to see him after 2 yrs.. :). we took a bus to the place where he lives... a lady was driving that huge bus... felt weird.. but have to getused to all this.. :)
that was it.. i was in melbourne after 12 hrs of travel.. huh... called up home.. was relieved that it was a journey without any major hassles...
i am signing off on this note.. just wish i had more time to spend at the Kuala Lampur airport.. it was truly amazing.. dwarfing even the Melbourne airport in size and class............

The Reluctant lyricist - chronicles of the Insane..

After a self imposed hiatus due to my inability to maintain a work life balance , i am back to doing wat i really like.. writing crap and spamming ppl's mailboxes to read it :) So here i am being a reluctant lyricist to satisfy the gulzar in me... Apart from a few aberrations like himesh reshamiyya, altaf raja, anu malik (non-filmi) and their kin.. hindi music has been pretty enjoyable over the last few decades.. well that just made me sound like someone who has been listening to hindi music since the 1970's .. but my knowledge is limited to as i said the blips in the last 10 years or so. I was just thinking if i can dwell on some hindi songs with a twist .. the twist being the added knowledge about good old hyderabadi lingo :) as navjot sidhu would say, u can remove anup from hyderabad.. but u can't remove hyderabad from anup ..! (sigh) Following is a refresher course on commonly used/abused words in hyderabad and their marriage with some chart busters wherever i can....

Mera Bharat MyHorn..!!

Just when you thought i disappeared from the face of the most populous city of the second most populous country of the most populated planet... here i am.. back to college after a 2 month ' weight loss ' program called summer internship! ( 4hrs of traveling in the sweltering heat and you d agree with me) Being one of the lucky ones to have been to 5 of the 6 metros (Somehow never got a chance to go to BANDHladesh ... Kolkata for the uninitiated) i thought it would be fun to compare the road manners across the ones ive have lived in sufficiently and have had the privilege to experience : Hyderabad, Bengalooru and Mumbai . Congestion on roads is a common thread that connects all these cities.. but all the misery is to end soon .. what with the Bengalooru,Hyderabad and Mumbai metros coming up within no time.. just another 11-13 yrs ! But you never know.. the mumbai metro with a super charged Anil Ambani could be completed a few days before schedule and may be we can have ...

The Curious Case of Indian Graffiti....

The thing with Indian graffiti is that in most cases only the guy who writes it can make out what it is and have a good laugh about it.. cos either his handwriting would be a graphologist's nightmare or it would give the creators of spell check a massive heart attack.. over the years ive seen things written on,in,below,between,along,above.. using up every possible centimeter available of various canvasses from restrooms,to trees.. to UNESCO world heritage sites! and the all time favorite Indian graffiti muse.. " the public transport ". But the thing that struck me most was the passion with which they do it, so much effort.. chiseling on sandstone or concrete is not easy... Although you would have seen a thousand examples of this dying art.. some of them just stay with you, either for their stupidity or uniqueness.. below are some of them that most of you might have seen.. but lets revisit to see if they were Write or wrong ! Fast fact : Most of the graffiti is bas...
