Rules of engagement -1

"the One" is a.k.a "the one before the next one"

Hoopla' s of the contemporary way of life - The Boss!!

My boss’s idea of motivating me; “somebody with your talent and intelligence u should be able to figure it out in no time. It’s all about spending time in front of the system. U know!! There’s no pressure to go home. U can stay in the office 24*7. U r not married right??

Talk about motivating somebody to get married unintentionally

Hoopla’s of the contemporary way of life – Important days -2

Yes!! As predicted I ended up at a club for new years with my brother and friends and I did the things that normally is kind of fun for me. For some reason by half past one what used to be fun dint feel like fun anymore. I was visualizing my golf swing (more on that later) more than anything else. And that s when it hit me, I AM GETTING TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT!!

Hoopla’s of the contemporary way of life – Important days

I was never a big fan of parties of important days where everybody has to show what a wonderful time they had. Mad traffic, Long queues to enter a club, the mad rush at the bar counter and on the dance floor overpriced cover charges and plus you have the harassment from the cops to deal with pretty much defines the party scenes on any important day. You really begin to wonder what all the fuzz is about.

My theory is this; most people get in to this madness because of social obligations. Imagine you walk into work after New Years Eve and your colleagues ask you about what you did for new years. The fact of the matter is you really can’t tell them I sat at home. Even if you did sit at home, did some soul searching and enjoyed it. Talk about pressures of the modern world.

Ideally I’d like to go out partying on a normal weekend. No crazy traffic, lesser queues to enter a club, the mad rush at the bar counter (well!! You can’t avoid that more often than not for some strange reason), can stand on the dance floor without anybody hitting you and lesser harassment from the cops. All of it makes so much sense. And yet i have a strange feeling i'd somehow end up somewhere on a so called important day and cursing myself for showing up.....

Room Temperature!!

Random conversation at a friend’s wedding reception!!!

A: Dude!! When I was getting hitched, I forgot to ask her one important question; what room temperature do u sleep in??

My thought: that would be a pretty obnoxious question to ask a girl..

Surprisingly, B responds: Never really thought about it that way, but funny u say that. But I know what u mean!!

C responds: I have a table fan on the side I sleep in (he lives in London and hence the table fan)

Me: (totally lost in the conversation): what are you guys talking about??

A: Dude, it’s a huge problem mate!! Most women cannot handle the cold too much while they are sleeping. And most men prefer to sleep in the cold. I really do hope XYZ (the groom) asked her this one.

Trivial as this conversation may seem; it got me thinking. And I asked a few friends about it;

The optimum temperature for each person varies. Each one for its own, I guess!! It was also interesting to find out that boys and girls not only fights over TV remotes, but also the A/C remotes. You can always buy the girl another tele, what can u do if she starts fighting over the A/C remote as well!!

Think about it, with all the complications that come with a marriage and with the entire boy – girl issues. Ultimately a boy and girl can’t even sleep in the same room.

HHHMMMM…… Food for thought!!!

Afterlife???

Love Bites!!

"My girlfriend loves me so much that she decided to kiss me from behind".

This is the line i came up with at the coffee table after she accidently crashed into my car on the way to the coffee shop and mentioned to her that i should put this up on my blog.

She came up with one better;

"My girfriend hate's me so much that she decided to bang me from behind"

The amusing part, not a scratch on either cars. and i was under the impression my bumper fell off!! ;)

Whoops!!
