From Jamshedpur, Ahmedabad and Bangalore to Meenaxi..The tall tale of 3 cities
Mussay!! the past few days have just flew past and have hardly been in town. mostly travelling east and north and in a few days south too.
So how did i enjoy my travels? did i enjoy em or not? ...yes and no..enjoyed the change in routine initially but soon got bored with the new routine so feels good to be change track and get back to the new old routine...
so dudes and dusesses why am i boring u with this crap??...hmm(for reference as to know what i mean with hmm read my earlier blog) okay lets talk about something more interesting now...lets talk about a movie i saw just now...Meenaxi..the tale of 3 cities(i coud'nt for the life of me figure out which 3 cities)
guys dont for any reason go even close to that movie...utter B.S. its loaded to the max with crap worse than the crap i give u consistently..something about a novelist who writes a novel in which he writes a novel inspired by an enigmatic lady (Tabu) who sticks to him like fevicol(salutations to Ghodu for inspiring this line) so this lady seduces him to deduce what happens to her in the novel which she claims to be the centre of...so our man dies in the novel...i guess u guys are getting confused, so lets look at an easier way to look at this..
Begin
For I=1 to n
For J=1 to I
For K=1 to J
Do(Story writing/telling/picturising)
Next K
Next J
Next I
End(Phew!)
where,
I=the number of times in the movie, the author in real life(in reel life of course) appears
J= number of times our man refers to himself in the novel of his
K= number of times our man refers himself to himself who in turn appears in the novel inside the novel..
now i guess u got the picture in the picture which is of course in the picture painted by the picture(movie i.e.)??
No?!! then dudes u have 2 options
1. Tear your hair out and watch the movie and tear out whatever little is left(Assuming that u had some to start with)
2. Tear your hair out but since there will be nothing left standing decide to forget the entire reading as a bad dream...
So fellas with a heavy heart i take your leave and hope u have the heart to forgive me for giving u stresses damaging to your heart

My Momma said, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you will get".
i watched Forrest Gump today and man it was amazing.
it's not surprising why it bagged so many awards. It is simply awesome!
It's realy strange how much one can accomplish by following a simple uncomplicated life. How complicated, needlessly we have made life for ourselves. It really does not matter i guess what you are as long as you are happy. Gump did not really run after anything but just ran .
Love is so very uncomplicated in his case. Giving all the way and not expecting anything in return. i guess that really is what it is all abiout. No promises, No commitments, but unconditional love. Compare this with the endless charade that a couple(boyfriend-girlfriend, Engaged, married) goes through. Displays of love by giving expensive gifts, fancy dinners, endless promises and also fights, misunderstandings and breakups. am sure Gump would have wondered why do people take all the trouble to do these things at all?!
people asked me why I ran?. I told the, "I ran for no reason at all" and that shocked them all...
I guess that's the secret of always bieng happy. to do things for the pleasure of doing them and not for anything. This blog is the for the same purposeless purpose i guess. I'm happy today to realise that, i am also, a little like Forrest Gump.

Life over a Coffee cuppa
Coffee...ground, steamed, poured. A drink fit for the Gods available at an affordable price to mortals. Its properties may not give immortality but will magnify life itself. What is the first thought you have in your mind when you get up??.Yup its coffee with a capital C. Yessirr!!
Hip Hip Hurray for a cuppa coffee!!. Business deals, marraige deals, ladki pataana.. everything happens over a cuppa coffee. Remember the Bru ad, harping on the boyfriend theme or the one that wins over the prospective groom's mind??. No exaggerations! it works!!
just to give u an example:
If you have visited the Nescafe coffe bars anywhere, you will notice a poster of a young lady smiling over a cuppa coffee, i'll have to admit..it was love at first sight!!
Imagine what would happen to a guy just by looking at a poster. You got the message all you girls?? ;D
now now, all you coffee lovers and non lovers(Yuck!!), lets talk abt a topic i know all of you are looking forward to....aha.. yup i know,... ladki pataana over a coffee cup..
step 1.
(small talk stage)
critical: contact girl, ask name, talk about weather
optional: ask father's name, job
Never: ask how much money her father will leave her!
step 2.
lead the discussion to health foods, broach the latest research on coffee drinking
step 3.
"oh well what do you say, shall we have a cuppa coffee over there"(to be speaken in a pleasant tone. Not in those rauchy or loud tones i know you are used to)
No: back slapping or taking her to a smoking joint where you can't sit
step 4.
Resistance ploy no. 1:
"oh i just had a cup u know"
crack V1.1: "oh u dont know the latest research?? only one cup? c'mon you must have more than that you know!!"(spoken in an astonished and absolutely grave voice)
Resistance ploy no. 2
"i'm engaged you know"
crack V1.2 : "Oh c'mon what harm in a cuppa coffee, just a cup of harmless coffee yaaaar"(spoken with indignation and a hurt look as if somebody accused you of a double cross(high acting skills required if that's the idea))
step 5.
drink coffee, make small talk, DON'T ogle at the other girls(considerable will power required).
don't ask her to pay the bill. I know it really hurts when you have to pay Rs. 50 for a cup which costs Rs. 5 at the local joint, but my friends remember "No Loss No gain"
step 5.
congratulations!! you've done it!! exchange telephone numbers and email. make sure you dont note it down but flash your cell and ask her to give you a cut call.
done to ensure that she does'nt dupe you with a wrong number, can't trust anyone these days you know..
Sayanora!,

Here is a collection of uffisms. Any relation to the living, dead or dying is purely on purpose
Very right-isms:
Mar-isms
Very right-isms:
- Never answer a question directly
- Confuse if u cant convince
- Shoot first ask questions later
Mar-isms
- A case is a case is a case
- Everything is fair in love and strategy
proj-isms
- It takes one woman nine months to have a baby. It cannot be done in one month by impregnating nine women (although it is more fun trying).
- The same work under the same conditions will be estimated differently by ten different estimators or by one estimator at ten different times.
- Any project can be estimated accurately (once it's completed).
- Nothing is impossible for the person who doesn't have to do it.
- Never put off until tomorrow what you can put off until the day after.
- If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs, you haven't understood the plan.
Thats all for today, my dear sufferring bretheren. Watch this space for more to come..

Creative Dissonance:
The not so latest FAD in the market today...U encourage dissomnance, ie disruption in order to stoke creativity...Let's see how this can be done in our day to day lives...
Everyone of us has a predictible order to his life...We get up in the morning, brush our teeth, break fast, work, dine and sleep to repeat the same routine again...Routine is the word...Human biengs(at least most) hate change and love predictibility, safety, hence the routine...corporations have evolved their own notion of routine in the name of efficiency...Job descriptions, hiring and firing policies, etal...
A freak is a guy who cannot be predicted..A mad man has no logic...Logic can be predicted hence freaks are equivalent to mad men??...Maybe.. but i guess we call that sort of madness creativity...So creativity is all about bieng unpredictible!!....So simple!
So what we can do to be creative is to break free of all semblence of routine, in other words, logic...
Breaking free also has a spiritual connatation..Science relies on hard logic...Hence scientists may claim that there is no God because there is no proof that He exists..No logic to the claim that He exists...So believers have to be creative...to seek out form to is incomprhensible non existen form.....So by default, believers are creative people...........
To sum it...break free of the traditional mould, climb out of the well, lose yourself in that incomprehensible vaccum of thoughts that are void of ordered structure. To be free and in the process find thy liberation...

A new word in the vocab: Hmm...it can mean anything u want it to mean!! at our place it has a meaning which relates to the most primal of all instincts..hmm that's interesting, ain't it??
But seriously it can reflect a profound sense of understanding..ever noticed how your hands automatically claose in on your mouth or chin everytime u do this??...Though Body language suggests that u are hiding a lie...would it mean that you are faking understanding??...Aww what the heck..who's bothered anyway!!
Delighted at a restaurant...irritatted at a nagging kid??...trying to cover up your ignorance...well u can use it anywhere and everywhere!!
