Cricket!!!Everyone loves the game and its the game that drove some of my "gandhi" calssmates to bunk a maths class.
So we had a cricket match on a thankfully cloudy Saturday morning and it was all fun and tiring!!
The spirit was not down inspite of the debacle of a match Team India had against the Mighty Aussies who had a new trick up their sleeve or sleeveless tights or whatever they were wearing....The "nicknames" on their jersey!!For example ,Lee is Binga, Symonds is "maa[n]ki" aah kidding sorry he is "roy" ,Brad Hodge is Dodgeball and there was someone called Catfish too. While these Cricketers go all nick names...I wonder isn't it time the Tennis players had a nick name too??
My friend Kaushik is a big fan of tennis and his nick name is sunny- short and sweet
but what about the players ....the ZTennis Dplayers!!??
Russia lost the supremacy to USA but in tennis it prevails as was evident in the The Australian Open!!!
You have Novok Djokovic who won the Australian Open, beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the finals. Before the match started, there were animated discussions between the two, with the former wanting to know if the ‘t’ was silent in the latter’s surname and the latter commenting on the utter stupidity of the former adding a ‘d’ to his surname. Finally Djokovic prevailed as his name conveyed a sense of raw power, that Tsongo’s name lacked. I somehow felt Tsorry for Tsongo, as he was simply out-named.
The women’s tennis circuit has some pretty formidable line-up as well.
I remember that once upon a time there was just Navratilova and her eight sisters, Ek-ratilova, Do-ratilova, Teen-ratilova, Char-ratilova.....etc .Then along came Anna Kournikova brother of Tangi Kournikova[aah nevermind the gender now]. But, now you have Anastiya Miskina, Yelena Dementyava, Vera Zvonaryova ,Svetlana Kuznetsova, Lina Krasnorutskaya and Myasthenia Gravis. What chance does someone with a tame and docile name like Sania Mirza have, unless she changes it to Sanialana Mirzavonsky through a gazette notification and produces copy certified by a notary public and never mind if she is pulled down by some Fatwa!!
Nick names are way better...and so is Cricket!!!
P.S: Share your nick names dear readers and well mine is *censored*!!!

One sleepy afternoon
In the greater darkness of powercut,in the glow of a afternoon sun...through the grilled gates I witness thus:
on the tarred road with potholes not so many... two boys are cycling up and down the street on a new more alien like bikes of today, the smaller of the two sitting pillion. He is clinging to the larger boy's back like a small monkey, his eyelids scrunched together to keep out the intrusive afternoon sun that knocks with a hot, insistent hand. After a few lazy laps the smaller one begins to whine and complain. It’s his chance he insists, his turn to navigate their ship. The larger boy ignores him, choosing instead to introduce a swaying motion to his pedaling so that the cycle careens, left right left right. The smaller boy is silenced temporarily; distracted by this new trick ,but good times don't last long,and soon enough he starts up again. His pleas get louder, a tinge of annoyance and anger slipping in to the occasional ‘Anna’[brother] to pacify any backlash from the larger one, picking at the striped back before him and flailing his legs out in petulance. The larger boy finally relents and gets off, his face sweaty and his chest pumping up and down , he looks at as his friend struggling on to the cycle with his shorter chubbier legs. After a few slips and slides, the small boy finally sits triumphantly on his throne and beckons the other to sit astride with a jerk of his head. The larger boy looks at him a moment, emotions of pride and ego flashes on his face and throwing back a careless snicker he walks away.
The younger looks back,half confused half unsure but that lits up his face as he pedals along happily away and free ..with or without crew...I AM THE CAPTAIN!!
POWER is back and I am back on my bed,back to sleep,back to my dreams,be the CAPTAIN!!

neen NonSmokera??
A sunny, cloudy day…heaven as confused as the mankind.
Me, Sarmad, Ruthwik having a *by 2* tea at Kumara’s tea stall next to college a place for tea, bisket, sigret, beedi,and FM songs from Banglore radio stations…thanks to a wire tied high up in the tree next nearby…here we have the stupidest ,most repeated argument …or talk or whatever…
Started by Sarmad… in his urdufied kannada “nin magane vegga?”[you a vegetarian??]
My affirmative nod prompted a question by Ruthvik “eggu tindilva??”[you haven’t even eaten egg??]
The tea is ready by now and I drink it from the stained steel glass….as whips of smoke rises around…not from the tea..its cigarette….the nikotin, tobacco shit everything burned in a white roll of paper…inhaled and exaled from between lips…..the lit cigarette glows bright n pales with every breath the guy took..the smoking guy.
But the smoke wasn’t the reason …as I get tired of this discussion which has been heard right from school days and it continues even now..I just shook my head …too bored to answer to Ruthviks query….in a attempt to make their case stronger Sarmad piches in “cake tindidya….?”[haven’t you eaten cake?]……. I nod again….”adralli egg irathe…”…*sigh* “hmmm gottu”[I know that]…and I silently agree….as I sip the hot tea which starts tasting silly after a silly talk about VEG/non Veg… I wastefull try to shut my ear of this stupid talk..and more so with the smoking guy making more noice with his caughing and caughing….
But no! Its about being veg or non veg….as my mind comes up with disturbing images of eating an animal…why would I want my stomach to be some kinda graveyard for all those bred,fed animals in some farm??
As the talk was migrating towards “neen brahmana na….nan friend voba Brahmana motte tintane” [you a Brahmin?? One of my friend a brahmin eats eggs]……God saved me…….. the non veg brigade got distracted by the speeding gals on scooty as we where about to cross the road …and the topic changes just as fast…”Gaadi irbekitu..1 choke kodtide…ha”[ Should have been on vehicle… would have give a choke to them…ha!!]
No offence to any friends of mine who are “non vegga!!!”
Eat what you want... just CUT THE SMOKE

a Story...............
At the shelf beside the bed, under the denims and shirts a place which was quite dark to be in , the half-read books of the ‘boy’ were having their annual general meeting. There were the Readers digests ,Textbooks, Noteboks, Harry Potters,The World is Flat, Alchemist, One night @ call center and many more and quite a few NIIT books. As with each year, The Maths textbook opened the day’s proceedings. In his welcome address, he regaled the conferenc with his favourite anecdote about a ‘boy’ who used to study from it when things he had to offer was relevant to the 'boy' . And with each page, boy’s knowledge improved and even though the boy skipped a few things in between he finally passed the boards with decent grades and he was being modest….
The delegates clapped appreciatively and soon dispersed to attend the various workshops being conducted throughout the day. There was ‘a book is forever, not just for holidays’ where several books that had been gifted/bought through the holidays aired their anger at the disservice done to them. There was ‘Never been touched’ where books that had never been pried open by eager hands cried their hearts out. The ‘I’m an autobiography, get me out of here’ section was buzzing with few books that held the lives of people famous and infamous but had languished for want of readers who loked beyond the photographs . And then there was the hugely popular ‘Borrowed and never returned’ section which attracted loads of dissatisfied books from the friends of the ‘boy’ and had never been returned to the true owner and then there where other stalls for ‘I was made a movie’who spoke of readers who had not taken the time to plod through the plot and instead picked up a movie version of the book and the latest entrant was ‘the guide’.
Then there was the ‘ I am being eaten’ where books so hardly moved from there place where being chewed away buy hungry monstrous termites. Not to forget ‘I was used to kill’ section where books showed off the flies, ants and insects which where accidentally or purposefully killed by the ‘boy’ as they crawled or flew through the them.
The organizers had thoughtfully arranged for grooming sessions where the books could have their bent pages straightened and the coffee/and curry/blood stains paled. But by evening, as hard-covers dusted off their Covers and as soft binds slid bookmarks back in their midst and everyone had vented their hatred of the Harry Potter series which was aloof all along [of course, they weren't jealous], a sense of gloom and sadness had descended. The books sulked back into the shelf they came from. But this summit was not like any other …it was time to awaken, to fight back, to register a protest and not to give in meekly ……..thus they all vowed, they will make extra effort and refuse to be shut when their reader fell asleep with the pages agape. No, they will not sit quite until they have been read through…….. But the innocent books had no clue the ‘boy’ sporting a rather disturbing pimple on his nose had seen them all ,heard them all and before they could protest ...he put more denims and shirts and muffled their protesting voices….but the books dint give up…all the notes quipped in “WAIT TILL EXAMS SUCKER……………DON’T COME TO US LATER!!!
The 'boy' snickered ……..”The new semester has just begun!!!”
But a voice came from the back of his mind “but the results haven’t ………“
The end!

thats it!!!
AAh Monday morning....which is very bad time for most people as they have to get their ass off from there happy sundays to get back in to their real hectic life.
Others like my friends in B.E got to slog all day and night and have sadly lost sense of the Big gap between a sunday and monday and well the 31/12/2007 and 1/1/2008...VTU gets it always wrong .....EXAM on the new year!!!
Well am the lucky few who inspite of having to be in college need not because there isn't much going on there too tired too buzy too lazy.
Waking up early in the morning and feeling the fresh cool air..hearing the birds chirping in the garden,the sound of the falling vessels as the cat makes not so silent attempt to get that milk ..that warm glow of the sun between the mist on a december morning..the last december morning..............well all these are not what i experienced..all these are a thing of past when i wake up at 8.25AM just in time to be ready for "the simpsoooooooons"
The rising sun is replaced by the bald Homer with 2 long hairs running across his head....!!!
After a wonderful stupid and funny morning and after all those things that for once i wont be explaining in detail..am back at my comp the only place where according to many i happen from being fast,josh,not shy,funny and everything what a normal person would be doing in real that is offline!!
but strangely i happen do them online....
All pumped from the + reviews by the *critics* for my previous blog entries it was some what relieving "gosh atleast they read my damn blogs" but not happy either damn ending the new year on blogosphere[thats also a part of this planet earth now like the atmosphere] with a comment to delete it..... was a bad sign...so here I am writing again to move the bad blog down so nobody sees it [kiddin!!].
And even as i write this i am bombed with replies to the stupid blog taken seriously!!
anyways i type along as a spider does a mission impossible as it descends with its web to the ceiling...and trying to make a web out there at the window...now great people get inspired looking at it..but i chose to destroy all its attempt..by ...__________________ *gory incident has been censored*...Duh! the spider is alive!!!
Well back to writing as i think about what to do today on a boring day [ as my friend is starting to doubt if I am becoming Devdas...huh!!]...other than forwarding "happy new year" to everyone or copy pasting some creative work by some guy and sending it to gals..yeah they do that..guys don't even get a decent wish these days.
What do you do on 31st???
Normally people say PARTY baby....but lesser mortals like the author of this blog has no party to party with...the lone blogger!![ Nobody calls me that!!!]
And i think and think what to do on this day...and having no clue why i have to write that iam thinking what i want to do !! the cup of hot tea which is more like a 'kashaaya'[herbal tea]..slowly becomes more unbearable as it cools.....the speaker is ranting the new song from the movie sunday ..and its been doing that for the last 1/2hour ya..shocking...thats the magic of new songs you keep hearing it on and on...and finally one day you become sick of it...and that one day comes on the day you get a new song that is in 1,2, or 3 days!!!
Well like every year TV is the only thing to make me stay awake till 12..and well the tv these days doesn't promise much than the repeat telecast of the gunman shooting 'muhatarma Benazir Bhutto' again and again though i couldn't make out much[No disrespect to anyone!!]
that was the news channels...
then comes the entertainment channels[really???]
They cry,they die,they kill,they are reborn..die again..and again come back,some just don't die...some get a plastic surgery and change face every fortnight...and on 31st they all get awards for doing all those ridiculous stuff....and for then they dance and dance....*yawn*
And i wont talk about the reality show serials..!!
then there are the music channels
Keep repeating the same bollywood songs between the ads as an ad is the 1st priority.
or they repeat the bakra episodes....or lola kutty comes up[ewwww]
and our only bet are the CN's and POGO!![yeah niceeeee]
Well with these ridiculous time pass we enter 2008 and have a better luck hopefully!!
And am trying to get my hands on the book 'the kite runner'[recco by sheki....] lets see if i can do that ...ummm....Damn!! the spider is at it again..it just doesn't give up!!!!!!!!

HAPPY 2008
Good bye [2] 007 ....
Well its 2008!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
And just like ‘The New Year’ there will be “new year resolutions”
Most of us don’t follow them …and we just step into new year ..
Here are some of the things or rules to keep in mind …to make life better in next year….
Caution Readers:
This is not a crash course of any sort on ‘how to become a genius’, ‘a terrorist’, ‘to lead a healthy life’, ‘how to poke your nose in public’, ‘how to become marriageable’, ‘how to get a divorce’ or any shit.
&
Not all rules are funny they are not supposed to be so..…well some are… and some more are plain stupid and others may just workout.
It’s not all original ideas ….some are plain rip off …so don’t be envious of me!!!
Hmmm here you go……..
1] Life can be tough, take it ONE rule at a time.
2] Don't wash your hands with petrol/diesel.
Don't wash your dog with Sulfuric Acid.
[You'd think such things would be common sense, but there are some real MORONS out there]
3] "Don't drive faster than your Angels can fly"
[Warning: Angels can fly approximately 120 kmph , lets be careful with this rule].
4] Don't slurp when you eat or drink, or chew with your mouth open, or talk with your mouth full... in other words , don't enjoy eating at all.
5] Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah....and now Rule 6
6] Buy a lottery ticket now and then, you never know
7] Read a bunch of strange books about ghosts, reincarnation, aliens, and parallel universes; one of these wacko theories might be true.
8] Eight hours of sleep, or more, is gooooooood.
9] Don't _____________[fill in the blanks and send your answers to 575575 and win a TIGHT SLAP].
10] There's a time to be born, a time to die, a time to be serious, a time to learn, a time to teach, a time to put on your shoes,a time to see the time, a time to sit down and have breakfast, a time to paint something, a time to write a stupid rule that really isn't a rule but just a discussion of time and doing things, and a time to think on how we are always doing stuff and rarely have enough time to do everything, and a time to make a really long sentence with lots of commas, and a time to put an end to Rule 11; which is now.
11]Some important rules while in a forest or zoo or in company of animals.
Don't wrestle with an Alligator, or Bear.
Don't try to out run a Cheetah, just get ready for the worst.
Don't tease a loose Gorilla.
Don't lay down near an Elephant.
Don't pretend you're a seal in Shark infested waters.
Don't steal honey from Killer Bees.
Don't bend over naked around a horny male Baboon.
12] Its not a rule..Its a fact
Only humans and Dung Beetles 'choose' to clean up the shit of other creatures.
[After all 2008 is the International Year of Sanitation.]
13] Fuck the rules
[I know one guy who will agree very much]
14] If you're going to drink alcohol..think about all those drinks that tastes good and is good for you, like a Rasna.
15] When you find something good, share it with your friends.[Is your gf/bf good???]
16] Figure out what your dreams are, you NEED that information.
17]. If your goal for the day is to hang out and do nothing, and you do that, you've had a successful day.
[More than a few days devoted to this goal is a BAD sign.]
18] Life's guarantees:
Wonder
Joy
Sadness
Despair
Surprise
Disappointment
[some keep repeating ]
19] Never go by what they say
We live in a world where we are surrounded by people who believe CRAZY things[most of them come true]... and sadly these people think you are strange.
20] I predict:
Tomorrow the world will 'just miss' ending in some catastrophic way that no one will even know about
21] The world could end in the blink of an eye... or it could go on and on and on and on... only Al Gore knows for sure.
22] These days many a things will be termed “none of your business…!@#$ off”!!
23] !@#$ =fuck[ @#$%,F@CK,FAC# ,F#CK all mean the same]!
24] If you want to live forever, DO NOT DIE ;
25] If Koi mil
Not all Aliens are ‘jaaadu’ just run away silently [ this rule/advice may or may not work]
26] A trimmer is no big deal but when dealing with complicated machinery such as "Time Machines", or "Transporter Units", read the directions CAREFULLY.
27]
No war.
No crime.
No anger.
No distrust.
No lies.
[Wake up dude]
28] The most exciting part of a rocket launch is the countdown from ten.
[Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa]
29] Note to children:
You are right about all that crap they want you to learn in school, you won't need to know MOST of that stuff, ever.
But, that's not the point, you are learning HOW to learn when you do that work and do it well, and one day, you WILL need to have learned how to LEARN.
So do the work, do it well, study, get A's and B's, IT WILL MATTER.
..so do 100/100…….. well …….99/100 is good too![Remember Taare zameen par]
30] If someone is about to bury you alive, do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE NOT TO GET BURIED ALIVE!!
31] When tossing grenades, squeeze the handle tight and hold it there, THEN pull the pin, THEN throw. Any other order will meet with less than desirable results.
32] Don't try to breakup fights, just stand back and watch.
33] Don't go surfing when a Tsunami is approaching.
34] Don’t spin around until you are dizzy near a cliff.
35] Don't get a tattoo of a girlfriend or boyfriend's name, you'll regret it sooner or later.
36] Always wear a helmet, when riding a vehicle [who knows you may have Einstein’s brains..they may want it for research!!!]
37] Given a choice between drowning or burning to death, pick drowning.
38] Don’t put a candle into your nose…its not required.
39] If there's a green wire, a black wire, and a red wire, and you have the desire to touch one, touch the black one.
40] Rules for Terrorists : When they ask for volunteers for a "Suicide Mission", look down at your shoes and remain quiet.
41] LMAO stands for ‘Laughing My Ass Out’ and not ‘Laaaa Mmmmm Aaaa Oooo’
42] New Year comes every year so don’t worry if you slept off at 11:55PM….there is always next year…well ..almost….and yeah don’t blame me if you sleep off again next year!!
43] Know when to ignore those voices in your head that say "Kill, kill"
44] Remember: 'Rules are meant to be broken'
45] You will be fined/tortured/beaten up if you follow Rule 44!!
46] Pets are good…but never keep any animal in your house that could kill you if it wanted to.
47] You get 11 different types of dreams every night....so don’t stay up all night .
48]You can’t avoid all the potholes…that’s true for the vehicle passing next to you on a rainy day!!
49] Lord Of The Rings is not REAL[Real things cant be so great.]
50] Drink more grape juice.[Just make sure some are fermented ..and older the better]
51]Be Lazy when you have no work …be a couch potato because it’s the International Year of the Potato.
52] All the readers who reached till here should be appreciated….are you human??
53] I forgot…never mind!
54] The BIG question: What is life, what's this all about?
Don’t worry if you cant answer it the 1st time…if you could..contact me immediately!!!
55] Life sucks….[damn it…go back to Rule 53]
56]*yawn*
57] Always write a comment after you read the blog….and it better be good!!!
That’s it they have no connection whatsoever with the new year ..like many things in life don't ..hmmmm …yeah enjoy the new year..party hard get drunk ..puke out .. sleep late and miss the new year morning and wake up at afternoon…feel dizzy and go back to sleep again..and wake up at night and wonder what you would want to doand again try to sleep coz you got school, college, work the next day….baaals!!!

Apna Santa puttar!!!
You wish everyone “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year”…so here I write what I should have written some days back…well never mind..it ain't 31st yet!!
So its Christmas time and everyone has just 1 person in their mind[no not the gifts or cake..they aint a person you see]…well he is the guy with one of the ‘cold’est job!!!
He pushes his feet in to the scuffed black boots before styling his beard with Brylcreem. [Brylcreem…yeah he dropped one half used sachet of it once] he couldn’t wait for tomorrow when he could shave the damn thing off. Tomorrow. It seemed like such a long way off. All those houses, all those gifts, all those not so clean chimneys to get down. And those reindeers, jumping, running and they are supposed to be flying too…and yeah also farting in his face and pretending like they had no control. The ministry [of the north pole???] had rejected his application for a car. Again. Well the IPCC didn’t win a Noble for no reason!!!! Environmentally unfriendly they said. As though all that methane was good for the planet[guess its natural and hence nature friendly]. Sure, there were days he thought of quitting but the perks were good…very gooood. 364 days a year off!!! ….now how often and in which job do you get that???? And added bonus of Free milk and cookies[yeah cookies…]and a whole lot of elves to do the chores…well the software companies would have a tough time employing this fellow….and just the one day he had to work. Some would even say he was famous, well not in a Paris Hilton kind of way, but still pretty good for a man 364 days in hibernation[I guess]. But he is a happy man and remindes himself ‘You shouldn’t complain so much’ as he settles down in the sleigh. Life could be worse. You could be the Easter Bunny!!!
And with a heavy sack of gifts he sighs ‘ho ho ho’ which sounds majestic and happy “HO HO HO!!!” to everyone…well that’s SANTA for you..not the one from SANTA&BANTA….its SANTA CLAUS !!
MERRY XMAS
