He and her

Love is beautiful .It wasn't easy to find her admist all the other more worse or better but he did.And he was happy until yesterday!
He lay awake on his bed, thinking about the previous evening.
It has been a month and a week since he did something to her that he never imagined he would do![Dirty minds before you reach your conclusions,here is what he did]
On a sunny Thursday morning he wakes up having no idea what the day has in store for
him or did he??
Inspired by an article in the local daily on how to approach your "gal" on valentine's day,he loads his purse with every penny he has ever saved and calls her up!!
As violins play in his head,he hears her soft voice from the other side,too numb to talk much he asks her to meet him at 'that' place.She obliges!!
Time running out,he rushes,he doesn't want to meet her on a valentine's day in the wrong place at the wrong time and so he runs, catches a auto and stops by a flower shop.The flower shop he had hardly seen or cared though he had passed by it a 1000 times and now he was here buying a rose for his love! wait a minute ...love?
He was in LOVE!!?
Love does make people do strange things,he bought a bunch of roses at a steep price on which he didn't care to bargain...no...not today and he runs again...!
Panting and out of breath he spots her at a distance and that doesn't help his panting or his heart pumping at all time high.
He walks up to her and they exchange the pleasantries.
Rumors are a plenty in college about the relationship between the two and he has no wish to add fuel to fire!
On a pathway hardly used lined up by trees on both sides he calls out her name and she turns around and looks at him and their eyes meet!
He goes through a million opinion polls "should I or not?", "now or afterwards?", "what will she think?","will it all be over?"
But it wasn't his head that was in control now was it?As he brings out his bouquet of roses and he gets on his knees and hands out the roses to her as the dried leaves descend from the heavens on the spring of 2008.
And she stoops a little and takes it with a smile he would die for as her hands lightly brushes his and sends chills down his spine.Both couldn't be more different he the joyful person and she the more restrained person.He all flustered and sweating and she calm and smiling[but inside.."oww my god!!!!"] she won't show an iota of shock or nervousness or excitement as always!
As for him the memory will be preserved deep in his heart for ever!
And today sprawled on his bed, his "love" has come a long way and reasons known only to him his heart is pumping the same way as it did when he was on his knees on 14th feb!!
And what was the reason?? Guess the answer and lemme know!!

@#$%^& you!!

The main intention of abuse is to insult and also hurt the other person. Thats the key. If you have a set of vocabulary that your recipient does not understand or does not consider derogatory, sorry , its a waste!

In kannada as kids,abuses were mainly restricted to the animal names.
x: "Kaththe" [Donkey]
y: "Kothi" [Monkey]
x: "Naayi" [Dog]
y: "Goobe" [Owl]
x: "Handhi" [Pig]

This would go on and on till limited vocabulary of animal names were exhausted or one of the kids would decide that the best way to tackle a verbal abuse is by his fist!
There were few other variant words of demon/devil like "Devva", "Bhootha", "Pretha", "Peede", "Pishaachi" - it helped those, who knew very few animal names and not too keen to get into fist fights!

As we grow older, most of the animal names lose their effect. In fact, some of them change their meaning altogether.
"Kaththe", "Kothi", "Handhi" almost move out of ones vocabulary.

The other day my friend Kiran asked what does " Goobal" mean as it is the most widely used word in coversation!
"Goobal" and its so many versions like "Goob", "Goobs", "Goobal", "Goobad", "Goobald" etc evolves from "Goobe" which is usually accompanied by false anger, a suppressed smile etc!

"Naayi" however takes different meanings altogether. Here are a few examples.
Australia India kayyli naayi thara hodskondru" [Australia got beaten badly in India's hands]
"Avnu naayi thara thinthane" [He hogs a lot, like a dog] Dog stands for 'too much'.


So it goes until one day , the "real" abusive words come to your rescue.
The more common of the is 'Magne' [son] and its plural 'Makla'[children] not much to swear about in english but in kannada they have their own weightage.

And there are instances when all 3 of these are mixed!
You doing a very important work and your Friend is irritating paying no heed to your pleads for him to stop and you burst up and say "Eh Goobe!! Naayi tara adbeda Magne!![ You owl!Don't act too much, son!!]

Well in English, SHIT! Am not going into that FUCKed up BULLSHIT that those IDIOTs say !!

"Post " mortem!!!

What happens after a man dies?

Is there a God waiting to settle things? Is there another world in a parallel universe ? An afterlife? Hell or heaven?
Does Chitragupta use the latest version of Tally for his accounting purposes so as to catch up with growing number of souls Yama keeps bringing? Or do dead people get bored to death[again] waiting in never ending queues for their turns to come up as he flips through the pages of his dusty old books?
Would St.Peter's job be outsourced to some other Indian saint from a tier 2 city? Will the Indian saint have lost it to a Mexican or a philipino by the time you reach there?
Do the Jehadis get their share of 72 virgins? Or will they be given a raw deal citing the dwindling male-to-female ratio as the reason?

What about the virtual world??

Have you ever wondered what will happen to the email account of a person once he dies? What happens to their blog? Their flickr/not 'baalti ibibo' account? Their Orkut account?Their adsense[from which I haven't earned much]?

You have an online friend,Girlfriend,a very 'good friend',but you don't know where exactly they live but you 'keep in touch' nonetheless.How will they know when a person is dead or is simply 'Inactive Virtually'???

If people want their online world to end along with them, there needs to be some sort of notification system. You could actually configure your message what you want to convey to people and store it in your mailbox. And only your lawyer will have the access key which triggers sending this message. Once this system matures, there will be provisions for custom messages for individuals or groups.
A general message could read something like this:
"Hey, I am dead now. Sorry for not responding to your mail. For any further queries, contact my family at 91-821-..."
A message to an online girlfriend can go like this:
"Honey, I am dead now. Apologies for not buying you the cute bracelet I promised. Don't keep in touch"
A Yahoo messenger status message reads :"I am dead" with a smiley with its tongue hanging out emoting your dead face.
A slightly complex message could be configured for a particular friend :
"Yeah bastard you were right. I ignored all those 'send it to 20 people or else bad luck will haunt you' forward and I am dead now. Send this message to 20 alive people you know"
All those people who want their legacy to continue will make "wills" . A lawyer reading it out will be something like "The son will get the blog account and all the ad revenue generated from that. The daughter will have access to flickr pro account and Youtube account and the son cannot share her flickr account to upload the pictures for his blog posts. The grandson will get the Rapidshare premium account and if it is noticed that he is using it to upload porn or do illegal stuff, it will be given to charity. The wife gets nothing as she does not use the computer at all"!!
