Wii for Mee Too

I'm in sheer tutaloo today !!

I'm not a game boy - Have never had the patience to sit in front of the tv and play and play and play. Went to my Cousin's place and got a first hand experience of Wii - Its awesome. Played all the games on the arcade - Bowling, Tennis, Baseball, Golf, Boxing - haven't sweat this much in a long while. All i was doing was drinking and playing. Makes me wonder is this where the world is shaping to - burning calories while playing games in your home.

I mean except fresh air and smell of green earth all the effects which you can imagine from the sound to commentary to actual vibrations can be felt in your hands and talking abt fresh air and green earth i don't think its gonna be a lot of time before some geek actually connects a oxygen tank and vaporiser to the console. Food for thought !!

Infact i tried out both Xbox and Wii today. Both of them are amazing. Wii being cheaper is definitely worth a try for non gamers like me to start on with. The only thing which i would love to buy first would be a 50'' HD TV and then its playball.

Lets see when do i get crazy enough to pick a Wii for me. Its gonna happen soon.

Btw just incase you are wondering what is a tutaloo - its a slang for extreme happiness.

Ugh Ugh !!

The name's 'Dimetapp' its sans alcool and its not effective - Been down with Cough and Sneezing for more than 24 hours now and feeling shitty. Just been sleeping all day yesterday and can't sleep anymore now hence I'm awake at 4 in the morning to write this piece of crap just to move myself out of a pseudo writer's block though i agree with others that there's nothing like a 'Writer's Block' - A writer writes when he/she feels like.Simple.Period.

Past few weeks have been very passive after i sprained my hands and ankles doing ice skating. Been pretty much laying low. Not much happening at work too. Last weekend was good - Brother came back from India. Caught up with him over the weekend discussing some stuff. My Folks never seem to amaze me. They landed at a Bose showroom and picked up a Bose wave technology System in less than 10 mins. Luckily i had picked up some classic blues few days back by Al Green and Marvin Gaye so it should be fun testing that box.

Like a true son i also decided to make myself feel a lil better out of this sickness so went ahead and splurged on some sports coat's by guess - the bill might also be one of the reasons that I'm awake at this time of the night. The next month looks pretty laid back going to Delhi, India on 4'th and then Time off with family and friends for about 10 days and then joining back in B'lore around 19'th. Haven't planned anything for the new year though the spirit would be strong and hopefully i would get some breather before traveling back to Toronto.

Thats all Folks. Ugh Ugh !!

FNATz

FNATz is a habit, FNATz is a way of life. The theme for the last week FNATz was 'Indian Food Russian Style'. The connoisseur's being El Judi (i.e. me), Babu, Nick(The Russian DrugLord), Dev(The south Indian musician) and Tuss. To elaborate more the idea was to have Indian food with lot of vodka. Food was on me Drinks were on Nick.

The party started like all others with Tuss and me emptying the contents of a bottle of appleton(Rhum). Not that we have a drinking problem but that bottle was calling out to us to put it to its place. Neways the party the first 'Sloshed out' party which when ended the room looked like a battle ground. Thinking about it now makes me feel high.

We between 5 people finished 2 bottles of Stolichnaya - A Russian Vodka filtered through quartz, cloth and Siberian birch charcoal. That's exotic. right?

The coolest thing about the party were the various toast done by people. As the number of shots increased so did the grandeur and stupidity of the toasts.
Toast 1: To love and Life.
Toast 2: To something i don't remember but i remember that Russian customs call that the second one should follow immediately after the first one. ooh i remember now the 2'nd Toast was for 'Dolma' she was my grandmaa's dog.
Toast 3: To my Grand maa - she was a great lady, Very social and pampered me a lot.

The first bottle is done by this time

Toast 4: To all the women who are no longer in our lives.
Toast 5: Babu got drunk at this point and starting expressing my love for his family and for helping him be what he is now - A Jackass. (no harm intended)
At this point Tuss opted out.

The second bottle is all thick and syrupy now since its coming out of the freezer

Toast 6: To stay in correspondence for the next 5o years - It was me who came up with this corny lines. What a JackAss am I !!
Toast 7: Everyone was sloshed by now, so started the Battlestar Gallatica episode - utter chaos -Dev and Babu fighting over as to who gets the pot to throw up.

So nick and me do the final shot wrapping the bottle and decide to test out our expertise on the foozball table @ sapient. Throwing Dev into his room was an activity because he had passed out by now.

In the end it was me and nick left and we did make our trip to sapient to the foozball table and then back to my apartment to have a rhum and coke but then we both passed out.

All the time during the party i was repeating 1 dialog - Here it goes..
'A man's got to do what a man's got to do'

BTW FNATz is 'Friday Night at Tushar's'

Later./

This is what i want !! Aaah

1) Was just watching 'The Big Lebowski' Dozed off in between. Trying to watch that movie for the last 2 nights but i guess i'm dead to the bone. Always loose it. Tomorrow's another Day. Gonna nail this movie.

2) Just came online to find Chinese person 1 commented on my post calling me racist. lol - Loved it. I guess I'm just awaiting a disaster to happen when some one writes a mail to the People Success People. That's gonna be so corny :-)

3) Just took a dump of Fry Boi's Music on to my 'Treasury' [Thats what i call my 7200 rpm spindle speed HDD] and just realized that i need a mood reader plugin or software like pandora.com which can just pick music from my 20 GB dump based on what i start on with and what i tag as a thumbs up or a thumbs down. In a nutshell i want the algorithm running on pandora.com to run on my local HDD so that i can put the music i have on my machine to some use and not run after discovering new music. This needs to be done dude. This is the future of music on pc's.

4) I just completed '5 people you meet in heaven - Mitch Alboom' - Review: I picked the wrong book at the wrong time. The book apparently is a NY times best seller but not for me.

Chinese people just got blogged !!

Yes WYSIWYG - 2 chopsticks have inspired me to give them a special place on my Blog. If you would notice on the right side, I'm pro China now onwards. Now i have Winnie along with Chris on the Blog of Honor.
Enjoy the Blogs.

The Last 10 days and 4 days to come

I'm not Dead nor am i suffering from the writer's block. Just been tied up with work before and workshop training for the last 3 days. The training got over today - Was a decent enough experience. Got to know a lot about how to run client workshops. Last day was the mock exercise - went pretty well.

Parul's coming over to Toronto this weekend for 4 days and I'm gonna be taking vacations to spend time with her.

Else wise life's pretty much bland no hustle no flow. Hopefully coming days are gonna be a lil more exciting.
Till then Adios./

The Sapient Blues Song - First Draft

SapeFit to the core if you are

But in the end Sapient makes the mark

Mindless 'Scribblet' Again

Ur life's no Encore if you are not Core.

3'rd on the Rocks

Talk abt drinking like a fish i can understand but talk about drinking after 9 days of more than 15 hrs days in a stretch and that too all alone is surely a cause of concern. Anyone sane would surely want to sleep but i want to go on and on. :-).
Listening to Nirvana - 'The man who sold the world' and I'm eyeing Fry Boi's 6 String lying packed in the leather case in his room. No wild idea's so far but who knows what may happen...
Later guys.

An Ode to GF

Some thing which i have been working for for about 2 weeks now.

What you see is not a Drink
My Friend !!
Its life filled to the Brink
It might make u Sink
But for sure its gonna help you Link
Link all the Cries !!
Link all the Highs !!

Make ya Mellow beat the Yellow

Sinister dreams shall Invade
Which you in your normal senses will Evade
But
Don't Debate, Don't Fight, Don't Fright
Coz soon clearer is the sight to respect
Easier are the sorrows to forget
Stronger the might to beget
Higher to heights you would have lept

Live your glass to enjoy your Class
you are not the mass
whose getting high on Grass
Your senses are like Flea's Bass
Plunging you deeper than the highest high
Fly Baby Fly

P.S - GF is not Girl friend it stands for GlenFiddich.

Fry Boi

'Nickoli Roussava' from now onwards also known as FB - [Fry Boi] is gonna be 3 roomie now in 2 months after Murgi, Papa Edwards. I actually like this people coming in and going out of my life though thats the cycle of my personal relationships too. Anyway haven't still met him but credentials speak that he's good roomie material.

Stuff to look for in a good roomie
1) Drink like a Fish.
2) Crack jokes like a Man - No sissies or 'I hope you didn't feel bad'.
3) Creative Prankster.
4) Needs to suffer from verbal Diarrhea.

Any Way Nick or FB loves to Fry everything. He challenged me to that he'll fry one of my birds for dinner and i challenged him that I'm gonna kill him if he does that but i promised that if he's good to nick I'm gonna help him hunt a white chick which he can happily fry. Then i asked him that whether he knows how to cook and he said that he can for sure fry shit. eeks but its ok i don't know what these canuks are like. God help them.

So i thought why not name him 'Fry shit Boi' but then in lieu of censorship rules i have decided on 'Fry Boi'. Welcome to the curse !!

Halloween and the Ass

We Indians don't celebrate Halloween since its not part of our social scene and all those people who say that 'no no we do!! its a nice thing and we should enjoy it with the people of the land we are on' - i have a simple question the people out of India also do stripping or Streaking on the social scene but then we Indians get so culture conscious. so keep the banter to yourself or better shove it up ur lower torso :-).

I'm sure you would have noticed the anger in the few lines!! did you or did you not? If not then
you probably are used to getting this kind of treatment from your better halves. I feel sorry for you. Neways the anger above is because of the crazy week which i have had. Spending nights at work since last week weekend incl. It is a dog house here. Issues on Issues and no sleep. In fact this was a week of bad choices. They being:-

1) Picked up wrong set of movies from the store - Titus, Capote - Haven't watched Titus but Az told me that it sucks so don't wanna spend time on it. Started Capote - Seymour - acted great but the movie's slow and cold so couldn't get my mind on to it. Looking forward to Mr and Mrs Smith, LA Confidential to balance the agony. :-(

2) Have had so much of jerk chicken and noodles from Caribbean queen that i have started hating it now. Nor is Pizzarustica helping a lot. :-(

3) Jasraj is gone to India for his first visit to his grandparents and so has Rest of the family. All i have left me are 'KT' and they are also not that happy. When i met them today in the evening they were so happy to see me that i felt bad for them. Those guys had been listening to pop music whole day and it makes an ass out of a being. Just got them switched to some jazz so use the time to do some introspection and start to like each other. Lets See :-(

So if you see for a happy go lucky guy like me 3 reasons and tons of work is for sure a difficult situation to be handle and also when I'm practicing teetotalism not that i have stopped it but its something like the karmic act of mindful sex where you prepare yourself to reach higher level of ecstasy with your partner. My partner in this context being - A Bottle of Glenfidish which Bhai gave me with strict instructions that it has to be taken without water/coke or rocks just as it is. :-)

The only cool thing which i experienced this week was Jasraj dressing up for Halloween. He dressed up as an Ass - Lol - Funny thing his face matched that off an Ass. It was so awesome to look at my 15 month old nephew to be dressed up as an Ass if i had my way i would loved to give him company the only thing i wouldn't have needed to dress up for it.

Anyways its time to tail the build again. So Here i go ..'Up Up and Away' to be read as 'F%$# F%$# and I'm Dead'.

Later./
