The Happening indeed Is.

The story of seeing this story is crazy. So Me & Sis decide to go for the Movie "Sex and the City" at PVR. She had bought the tickets in advance directly from the counter for 'em for the 10PM show. I didn't know the Europa Cinema Halls function as correctly as the ones in Innovative Multiplex! Firstly, They had the Right Movies labelled at the Right theatre halls (I hope you are getting the sarcasm here) Secondly, A 10:00PM movie begins at 10:30PM. I think even PVR now operates on this unsaid time phenomenon called "Bangalore Time"... meaning when a True blue Bangalorean tells you "Hey dude lets meet up at 5 PM", it usually means you add 30 - 60 mins to it, if you are sensible. BT = AM/PM + (30/60) Mins. And Thirdly, we find out that we were in the wrong theatre (Thanks to Clear Labeling. There were people running between halls once the movie began!) and wait it doesn't end here. We run to the right theatre finally and then we a...

Songs I Love, The Second

Never before did I listen to Opera for more than 5 seconds. Then I came upon a video on Youtube of a show called Britain's Got Talent. A totally paavam, low on self confidence, insecure guy who was always bullied around walks in for the audition, called Paul Potts, a Mobile phone salesman. The judges ask him what he's come to perform, he says "To Sing Opera" and I too was like "What the fuck??". He stands still for a while to gain some confidence. The mesmerizing music of Nessun Dorma begins & we are like "Ok here comes...". And then.. He begins singing & you are like "WHAT !!! Is That really the voice of a Mobile Phone Salesman?!" .. Amazing is the word. I'm not even a fan of Opera. I actually hated it till this guy came around. But the way this guy sang with all his heart & feeling in his voice just left me awestruck. I actually played that video over & over again & very few songs move me to tears. This definitel...

Blahed Thoughts, The Fourth

Women with a just-outta-the-shower look have this incredible bang-boom-dishhh-where-did-this-babe-come-from effect on me. I think that look is the single most visually appealing turn on for me. They look so beautiful, more than their dry-haired-selves. That's like Pure Bonus heaven, personally is all. lol. Whenever I scan galleries of cute women anywhere on the world wide web, like a creep, haha, my fingers have to stop clicking next as soon as I see such pics. Sighhhhhh! Guess the secret to my heart ain't through the old route of the Tum, its through sending me pics of yourselves with wet- head -hair ( This is a Note to women who contact me. Ahem .) Every single time, I flip. Shit man, this is a giveaway. But who cares, I love sex as it too is a path to bliss for us human beings, the other folks of earth too. So bring it on baby ;) Page 24

Blahed Thoughts, The Third

Peoples' reaction to my letter-post was quite a trip! My sis thought it made me look needy & emotional & she found it like an eye opener cuz I'm the opposite of that, Live. She thinks the toughness is a facade. I disagree. I've the reason. My friend Arjun thought I had the Hots for the woman. Emotional, I can agree with cuz yes I do get involved emotionally with my closest pals only. Its almost like their problems are mine too. Weird shit, I tell you. Typical Saggitarian. Totally detached from most things in life including family, except friends. We are there all the time to help and man, has that turned out to be a fuckin' pain! but Needy! that definitely is not what it was. And I'm not in denial. I accept it if its the truth. Is it wrong to have expectations? Like my friend Ujwal said, even a Friendship is a relationship and it should be equal. Give & take is the game baby. Its not a charity service. I also didn't have no "Louu" feelings...

Blahed Thoughts, The Second

Question of the day, OK for me atleast, is, Am I a sentimental Ol' fool? 1 of the babes called me out of the blue yesterday! I actually couldn't recognize who it was. C'mon, I wasn't being a snob. Its after a long time we were speaking and obviously I did not expect her to call me at 9:57 PM in the night on any day ever (Now before u think m sm freak of nature, cuz I'm a man who remembers time, I checked my received call list now, alright!) . I was trying to comprehend who it was till she said her location. There was a moment of Silence, and then... She told me her wedding was fixed and said "Today only we fixed the date & I'm calling all my close friends first & informing" .. In my head, I was like "Whaa.. wha did I just hear?.. whaa". I said "Awesome. Congrats & Oh so u consider me a close friend now?" & laughed. She smoothly "didn't hear it". Asked her a few questions about the guy, no not like...

A Postcard from 13 Year Ol' Me.

My sis found this postcard today, which I'd written to my parents & her when I was in the 7th standard at Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School, Prashanti Nilayam. Was awesome reading it. The innocence ( ahem ) I sensed in it was funny as the Current me to read, but was a really good trip down memory lane. Oh, Btw, If my dad reads this postcard now, He'll begin his "Oh How Nice (read: Oiled Hair & well combed with side parting, no goatee, no ear rings, no future tattoo, language without bad words) my son was once..." speech. Trying to avoid hearing that. Here goes the postcard with exact spelling mistakes, words & font styles!... (btw do people in India still use these? I think postcards have an awesome quality about 'em. I think its the fact that one conveys so much in so less space. Articulation should be practiced on these) ************ Parthi 11.8.97 Dear Acha, Amma & Chechi, Sai Ram. Hope you are fine by Swa...
