Breaking News: Bathroom Singer Turns Pro

So this is by far the most exciting news of the day today. One of my friends has decided to go from crooning in the bathroom to cut an album on his own. Yep he's going pro !! I don't know how but from what i know he gave an interview on the FM today under upcoming stars.

So apart from crooning in the tub Kunal from what i know has taken part in many singing competitions from school and yes bitch! he won too :-) I think that he was planning to take part in the Channel V pop stars gig too but was rejected on grounds of obesity - lol (kidding)

The reason why I'm blogging it is
1) I'm excited about him cutting an album especially because we both croon profanity all the time and I'm all in support of taking profanity to mainstream.
2) He's the only one person in my circle who i know is breaking the habit and moving out to do stuff which he wants.
3) He's a good singer and is my younger brother's best friend hence he has to be on my blog.

I'm not worried whether the gig takes off or not but what makes all the difference to me is that its too cool a thing to do. Hence Best of Luck Kunal !

Monopoly Times

It was 1934, the height of the Depression, when Charles B. Darrow of Germantown, Pennsylvania, showed what he called the Monopoly Game. Its now sold in 80 countries and produced in 26 languages including Croatian. Its been played by around 500 million people who know how to play it well sans 'Aastha' - Her Style of playing - I won't pay you rent if i cross your land. simple. period.
Here's the summary of her last game.


And after 1 more round



Red - Jaspal's Business House
Blue - Sandeep and Udita's establishment over which i had free pass
Pink - Sandeep's Dollar Store in the end ;-)

Sadly Aastha was not able to open her hotdog stand too.
Hopefully she should improve next time - will post pics! lol

Mum's Home - Part 1

My Mum = Sweety
28/04/07
- Spent the early half of the day catching up with Sweety - tales from back home and lazing around.
- Played yet another game of monopoly with Kota and Aastha. She still sucks - bum bowed out of the game this time.
- Went to Ebony in the evening - Had great fish(steamed wrapped in banana leaves with mint sauce) and beer. The weather was great. The place offers a wide view of the Bangalore city.

29/04/07
Day long trip to Mysore with Sweety and Aastha
1) Sri Ranga Patnam - Visited Colonel Bailey's Dungeon - This was by far the best part of the trip. The security guard for 10 bucks gave us all the history of the dungeon and i was able to get some good shots too.

2) Mysore Palace - Its one of the coolest palaces which i have seen till now. Infact the core difference between palaces in Rajasthan and South India which i found was that, that the palaces here in South India are more colorful whereas palaces in Rajasthan are more monotone. Sadly they don't allow you to take cameras inside neither do they allow shoes inside the palace. So all in all i hated it because the palace had some great shots to be taken. Panthers, Ivory Tusks, Peacocks, Hand crafted floors spanning more than 150 * 150 yards, Silver doors.

3) Sangam - which means the point where 2 rivers meet. The sangam near Mysore is highly overrated and dirty. Do not go there. :-(

4) Dasprakash - Had lunch here. Please do not have it here. :-(

5) Balmuri Falls - These effing water hole does not even meet the requriements of a fall. Just lot of placid water which goes placidly onto a set of rocks and govt has referred to it as Falls. :-(

6) And i let my hair down after a long time

Later./

Talk Less Speak More
Just Shut your crow and
Save ya the sweat off your brow

If you do not like the sound
Stop your verbal hound else
You are gonna round and round

Talk Less Speak More
Do think but do not show

For now is not the time to be the lord
Just be on your guard

Go quite but don't spite
Coz thats later gonna take your misery to its heights

Thy tongue is the only sword
Careful don't go 'too broad'

Talk less speak more
Save the itch don't be the bitch

Don't shove your foot in your mouth
and keep ur clout
Coz rebellion takes a moment to sprout
Just like a Blount

Pimp my Blog

Following the small scale success of the show - 'Pimp my Ride' on MTV. I have decided to ask someone to 'pimp my blog' and along with i acknowledge that i cannot fix my blog colors. I get confused in those in exhaustive color schemes which blogger offers.

Been more or less busy with work and socializing that have not had a lot of time to neither read, nor write, nor kick ass. Hence the lull in posts.

Watched 2 movies, met 2 friends, made 2 BRD's, Had 2 beers, 2 dinners over the last 2 weeks.

Just changed the name and punchline for my blog today.
Talk about making some noise ! :-)

Ass Kicking Season 2007 - Kick 1 - Get 'em Laid

3 years back when i graduated from my engineering college me and my friends from college start a group called 'SOAK' which stands for 'Society Of Ass Kickers' - The sole purpose of the society/cult to find prospective soak victims and kick some ass eventually passing the AKA (Art of Kicking) on.

The society was more or less dormant for the last 1 year with all SOAK'ians busy with work.
This time when i moved to Bangalore - i decided to start the ass kicking season for 2007 and here is what i present you 'Getthemlaid.com' - A site dedicated to referring people you love and whom you want to get some love (aka getting laid)

The prospective SOAK victim of year 2007 is Siddharth Sheth - A Indian born Gujarati whose been working with my company for about 3 years. Siddharth's been a great friend over the time but then my love and concern for him has to be shown to the world. Hence i referred sid (as we call him) for getting laid.

For more details please go here - Siddharth should get some...

'10' weeks in Australia

01/04/2007
As i sit to catch my connecting flight to Delhi from the bangkok air port. Here's are my thoughts on the whole experience. My emotions are Happy sad like my director's.

Happy because i got see Kangaroo's ,Wallabies, Koala's, Penguins, Tasmanian devil. Happy because i got to hand feed Kangaroo's and watched the fight for survival of the penguins.

Happy Sad because I'm now a virtual Biosphere inside. In a matter of 14 days i have had the most open dietary routine in terms of cuisines rather animals - Calamari, Veals, Shark, Kangaroo, Crabs, Oysters, Salmon, Barra mundy, Steak, Pigs - all went down my palate in copious amounts along with couple of bottles of wine, a lil scotch, a lil rum, a lil brandy and yes beer. Boy i got an appetite to screw my system up. lol.

But i wont deny i loved it all - it surely fun especially that now i can for sure say whether i like this wine or not because i didn't like the merlot they serve on the flight.

Now Sad because a co-worker of mine told me a Chinese saying - 'They pay for your food and you repay them with your life' - 16 hours day for 2 weeks surely left me drained and wanting sleep.

There were tons of funny moments over the course of 14 days namely uncovering agent 1.7, the Alan parson project, Getting to know the best pick up line to get a girl @ Transport from an Aussie.

Buddha's People

17/03/2007
Awesome company especially old Thai women. They do not try to have a conversation with you. If you try to have one they smile n say 'No English' which tells the frog in me to just shut up and enjoy croaking by myself. All old Thai women above the age of 50 need to wear a beach cap on the flight. All of them. Could not take a pic yet again :-(

Old age has its own issues but yes Thai grannies have found the remedy too - tiger Balm. Just after i took my seat the balm smell drugged me and induced sleep without even a drink. Zzzz..

Buddha's Airlines

17/03/2007
I'm not St anger like AJ but first experience before i get to fly down south does bring out some emotions.

Before i delve deep into reliving the Thai experience lemme kick some brown ass. I agree in the past we have had a shit airport in New Delhi but its been improving at a good pace over the last one year - but what burns me is when i effing cows littering the waiting area and then trying to see if someone saw them or not. I wish i had the patience to take the cow's picture and send my story to a newspaper. God bless the cow.

I had heard a lot about Buddha's airlines and i concur the seats the definitely better compared to KLM and BA. Which is unusual - as Europeans as more heavily set as compared to South East Asians but i think the realization is still not there on both sides.

Thai air hostess as definitely more warm and cordial. funny thing the traditional way of welcoming someone in Thailand is something like 'Sawasadee' and is done by joining both of your hands in front of your chest and the way Indians too is also the same just that we say 'Namaste' on the other hand Sikhs say 'Sat Sri Akal'. Now giving some credit to the nasal twang which the air hostess had and my hearing disability - i thought she said 'sat sri akal' to me and man was i impressed. The happiness was short lived when i saw the same gesture being repeated for everyone on board.
