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
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!!!

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!!

"The Reverse Bungee (or catapult bungee, or Ejector Seat) is a modern type of fairground ride that was invented by Troy Griffin in 1995. His dream was to create a safer, yet more extreme bungee jumping experience.
The ride consists of two telescopic gantry towers mounted on a platform, feeding two elastic ropes down to a two person passenger car constructed from an open sphere of tubular steel. The passenger car is secured to the platform with an electro-magnetic latch as the elastic ropes are stretched. When the electromagnet is turned off, the passenger car is catapulted vertically with a g-force of 3-5, reaching an altitude of between 50 and 80 metres (180-260 ft).
The passenger sphere is free to rotate between the two ropes, giving the riders a chaotic and disorienting ride. After several bounces, the ropes are relaxed and the passengers are lowered back to the launch position"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_bungee
Not for the faint hearted my friends. My ignorance about me loving heights ended here. More about that later.
Verdict after the experience: Knowing the path and walking the path, two totally different things!! :)

Stop Hoping for a Completion of anything in life
Most men make the error of thinking that one day it will be done. They think, "If I can work enough, then one day I could rest." Or, "One day my woman will understand something and then she will stop complaining." Or, "I'm only doing this now so that one day I can do what I really want with my life." The masculine error is to think that eventually things will be different in some fundamental way. They won't. It never ends. As long as life continues, the creative challenge is to tussle, play, and make love with the present moment while giving your unique gift.

Why do men feel the need to get married early??
Some years ago....
Like all mothers, a certain mother was trying to convince his son to get married. And this is the explanation he came up with.
Most bachelors in India are sex starved. And hence they have raging hormones in their heads and agree to the whole wedding scene as soon there is some kind of financial security. Since I am not sex starved and have no raging hormones in my head, I think I am going to pass on that option for now.
Mothers expression: “Stumped and scandalized at the same moment”
As a consquence, she has given up pushing any of her sons to get married... :)

Why do people stop networking when they are in a committed relationship?
Only to realize that after they break up, they can complain about how much they sacrificed when they were in one. Most people are pretty much lost when they have exited from their relationships. Reason being, they never had a healthy relationship in the first place.
Couple of pointers
Staying friends with people of opposite genders – healthy
Flirting with them – Unhealthy
Meeting new people of opposite genders – Healthy
Lying to them about your relationship/Marital status – Unhealthy
Getting their number for future reference when the relationship/marital status changes – Healthy
The pitch I am going for is very simple.
Love your partner and treat the other like a prince/princess, but always prepare for the eventuality. Always have your back up plan sorted. It’s easier to move on and saves your friends a lot of time and trouble.
This way we can also stop an end to the ‘men are dogs and women are bitches’ debate. Who are we kidding?? Men and Women can't live with each other and at the same time can’t live without each other.

U can never be too careful!!
In lieu of Shiney Ahuja`s case that’s on currently..... Many innocent men are being jailed after being accused of rape.To avoid being accused of rape (if she has consented) the criminal system has proposed that there be a consentForm to be signed by the woman before sexual Intercourse. This will protect men from being accused Of rape when a woman has given and later decides to lay rape charges.To all men, have this form in hand when you visit women (whether your fiancé or not). You may print copies for your use.Pls open the attachment for the form. Ladies cooperate and sign the form.
PS : Amused as i am, a certain Miss XYZ forwarded this mail and wanted me to take copies of the contract and get it signed by the screwee when the circumstances arose!!
And I am wondering, Why me??? LOL!!

“Why ‘O’ Why do you smoke”!!
My brother thinks it’s because of peer pressure and I dint argue with him cuz I dint feel like it.(But then I don’t argue with most of my family. I let them think what they have to about me). I am definitely not ignorant of it consequences. The fact of the matter is, it’s legal, a cheap thrill and it can be used as an excuse to get out of boring and awkward conversations.
Everybody in my family thinks smoking is a disgusting habit (No prizes for guessing that I am the only one who smokes in the family). Last time I went home my dad was telling me “I have no problems with you drinking, but come on!! SMOKING?”!! (With a very disappointed look)
Apparently the whole world is on a major trip on about how smoking is bad for your health and taking measures to discourage it. What I can’t figure is why it wasn’t banned when all the governments started coming down on all substance abuse materials in the 60s and 70s. Like they dint know it was bad for your health then. Probably the decision makers enjoyed the smoke too much to give it up.
More than anything else, It’s a major source of revenue for all Govt s, so obviously they can’t ban it. On the one side, Govts are increasing taxes on cigarettes which ultimately increases their revenue and on the other side they come out with Anti - Smoking campaigns. Talk about heights of hypocracy.
So until its Illegal, for now, I am going to puff on the death stick like I don’t care.
But then again, one day I just might not feel like puffing it anymore and decide to quit altogether. Weirder things have happened in this world!!!

Tales of April and August!! - 1
"Sitting together, the two of them were discussing the nothings. As always. And enjoying thoroughly the talks, as much as the company.
April : What do you like more.. long hair or short?
August : *Amused look*
April : *with a goofy smile* No I mean if you like longer hair, I can grow them for you
August : You know what,wear the way you want to ! I'd like whatever you like.. whatever you are comfortable with, it suits me.
April : No! Please tell me.. I can grow them if you want me to!!!
August : *turns towards her to look into her eyes* Ok. Here's the thing, my being with you is not dependant on the length of your hair! It is only dependant upon the good times that we have! So, it's all good!!
And with that he leaves April with an even goofier smile and a wonderful thought…. "
Ref: http://nimishasspace.blogspot.com/2009/06/hair-and-now.html
A peak into August s thoughts:
"August ears is buzzing with a full stadium applause when somebody hits a home run. With his infamous smirk evident on his face he s thinking to himself, Damn!! I am good!!"
Self conceived and self proclaimed player that he is, u really cant expect a better thought from August now. Can you??

Crossroads!!
Yes!! It is happening…. I have reached the crossroads of my life, where I feel my youth is slipping away (according to the society we live in). Some would argue that I have passed it for a while and it’s about time I start taking up more responsibilities. “Stop your wayward ways” is a comment often heard these days!!
As I approach the valley of shadow of death (in terms of my youth), I feel like a young man sitting in an old mans bar drinking, waiting for my turn to die.
Then I remember the wise words of Barney Stinson (How I met your mother);
“When I am sad, I stop being sad and be AWESOME instead”.
To the pretty looking girl sitting at the bar
Me: HI!! Have you met me!! :)

Amusing Stadium Announcements!!
"If you appear mashed, smashed or totally plastered you will not be allowed into tonight's game."
Heard on the tannoy outside the Wellington Phoenix versus Perth Glory A league match.
"The staff at the car park have found a wallet (slight pause) it's got about about £4,000 cash in it so...yeah....that would be great if you could claim that..."
At Plymouth v Coventry on Easter Saturday.
"Would the owner of the Vauxhall, registration number xxxxxx, please report to the nearest steward as you have left the handbrake off and it has rolled into the car behind you."
Shortly afterwards....
"Would the owner of the Ford Fiesta, registration number xxxxxx, please also report to the nearest steward as yours is the one that has been hit."
From the Wycombe Wanderers-Brentford game."

Why blog??
I started my blog to actually impress this girl I really liked. Because of the special circumstances we were under, blogging was the only way to communicate with her. And it was a tool I used to court her.
Lame!! Yes, it was.. But hey it was the only way I could think of considering the circumstances.
Guess what?? It worked like a charm considering i am dating her.
This is the story i tried to sell my girlfriend when asked why i stopped blogging!!
What she thought of the whole story???
(Grinning)Wait for it…..
(Even wider grin)Wait for it……
Yep!! She so didn’t buy it!!
(Most blogs I have read has this explanation post when there is a break from the blogging spree about how much they have missed blogging and all that. I offer no such excuses.)
The truth of the matter is,
I have no Idea why I blog and why I don’t.
There are times when I feel like typing a whole lot of non sense and there are times when I don’t.
Like most actions in my life, I just do things and offer no explanations.
And blogging is one such thing!!

Heights of Ignorance!!
I am not really a breakfast person. I usually have absolutely no time since my priority is sleeping over food. There s always a mad rush before I am leaving home for work/college. Obviously, it’s a carefully developed habit ever since I left home for college back in 98.
The other day I decided to mend my ways in term s of my eating habits and have breakfast everyday without fail. And I bought some cereals and milk. Later, the conversation between my flat mate and me were as follows:
Flat mate: Dude! I can see u’ve bought cereals and all that. Nice!!!
Me: (Serious tone) Yea!! I’ve decided to mend my ways. Breakfast being the most important meal and all that…
Flat mate: (Grinning) That s good!! Although, I am just curious, how do u plan to eat it??
Me: (Amused look) what do u mean??
Flat mate: U do know that we do not have bowls to eat the cereals in (LOL!!)
Me: LOL!! Damn!!
Flat mate: (LOL) Dude!! U seriously need to enter the kitchen once in while.
Me: LOL!! DAMN!!
Flat mate: Dude!! And do me a favor, when u actually buy the bowls, buy two of em or we ll have to wait for each other to finish eating cereals…LOL!!
Me: LOL!!

S*** Happens!!
I have had friends calling me and sending me messages left, right and centre this last week. it had something to do with a certain 'Dream Final' that happened in Rome on wednesday night. Some of the comments that came my way were as follows!!
"Arshad...whats up?? Did you go to work today?? Are you feeling alright?? Its ok..there's always next season. snigger."
“tough luck dude! Barca are just too good and Ronaldo is a wanker with a funny accent! Lol”
“yeah....and those women who think he is uber hot.ridiculous!!!... He looks like a squirrel..and Arshad lets use your "boys and men" quote again..shall we??”
“tough night for united and fans...now mate last night was really men against boys shall i say??”
As a person who supports manchester United, last three years have been one hell of a ride. Ronaldo and Rooney coming of age under the guidence of Sir Alex have given many supporters innumerable priceless moments. So it obviously came as a rude shock to see what actually happened during the finals. Never in my years as a supporter ( And trust me!! i watch all united games!!) have i seen this team outplayed like the way it had been and that too on a big stage. (They always show up with their A -game on a big stage). And hence, it was a serious reality check of major proprtions to say the least.
But Hey S*** Happens!! Such is life!!

Peer Pressure!!
I had a very interesting conversation with a very old friend of mine. His state of mind still high from the last night partying.
The conversation mainly revolved around my lack of enthusiasm to the concept of marriage. Apparently, he had met my mother couple of weeks earlier and she had said to him “I ve totally given up on him. Written off case”. And as a good friend he called up to knock some good sense into me. For the record, I don’t usually entertain such calls from anybody. But I ve known him since I was ten and my usual ways of slipping out of conversations don’t really work with him.
After an hour of rambling talks from both ends he concluded I have an IQ of his 2 year old son and that he doesn’t care who I get married to, but I ve another one and half years to get married or he s coming down to wherever I am hiding and whack the s*** out of me.
Peer Pressure!!! Bloody Hell!!
Thank you for the time given though mate!! That was very thoughtful!!

Indictment!!
I finally had the awkward conversation about the blog with my mother. She accused me of two things.
1. Me being not normal. (in reference with the content of my blog) Somewhere down the conversation she actually accused the whole family for not being normal and dysfunctional. Lol
2."Instead of writing all this nonsense now, if u had studied something in school. U would have got better marks."
Ahem!!
Trust your parents to bring out something so unrelated.

In and out of love - 2
I think I should change the title to in and out of marriage on this one. But I think ill keep it for the continuity sake. It’s almost unbelievable with the amount of marriages and the simultaneous divorces that are happening around me. And what is surprising with most of the divorces are that it is not because one of them had an extra marital affair. Surprisingly!!! Most people say that they just can’t get along. I can empathize with most of them. I wouldn’t want to spend the rest of my life with somebody who I can’t get along with either.
In our parent’s generation, divorce was not an option. U make it work no matter what, was the attitude. The trend so far in our generation is well! If it does not work, cut your losses and move on.
Don’t get me wrong. I ain’t judging anybody. I am sure everyone had a genuine reason why things din’t work out. I am just trying to figure out what the winning formula is to make it work though. So far, I’ve got none.
PS: by the looks of it, my new business plan should be to find a winning formula and I would be a millionaire in no time… lol

Remember the name!!!
A star was born yesterday at "Theatre of Dreams". Is he a one hit wonder? Only time will tell. But, u ve to hand it to him for the sheer audacity and timing of it all.
United had lost back to back games in the league and they needed a response. In terms of the confidence factor, it was a must win game. But, with eight first team players not available due to injuries and suspensions and rest of them, just back from an international break. Things were not looking so good for United. For the first time in a long time, United on paper were looking weak.
United were losing the game 2-1 in the 60th minute. Sir Alex tells a 17 year old kid to just go out there and play your game. And play he did.
Sometime in the 70th minute Ronaldo does his usual bit of magic and levels the game for united.
United were surging forward for the winner with a wave of attacks, creating chances and missing them. Ryan Giggs passes the ball to the 17 year old kid at top of the box in the 93rd min (injury time), he does a Cruyff type flick and bends the ball into the top right hand corner for the winner. Thiery Henry would have been proud of that one.
Moment of heartbreaks at the Mersyside, Theatre of Dreams erupts. Forget the Theatre of Dreams, I was jumping up and down in my living room like a mad man screaming at the top of my voice. UNITED!UNITED!UNITED!!!!!
After game thoughts : Football!! Bloody Hell!!
PS : Remember tha name “Federico Macheda a.k.a Kiko”

Ignorance - 1
Some time in late 1980s…
I am sitting on top of the first floor terrace at my great grandmothers place (Yes!! she was very much alive and healthy then) and my brother dares me to jump. After much contemplation and daring from my sister as well, I pick up the softest landing spot available and jump!!
My expression!!
C!! It’s no big deal… :))))
My thoughts!!
Ouch!! That hurts. I think I just broke my ankle.. :((((
The whole ignorance about heights started then!!

My bro s new shiny little toy!!!
My brother finally gave into the temptation of buying himself a Macbook Pro. His reasoning behind giving into the temptation "I have to increase costs to reduce my taxes".
What a predicament to have!!
Clearly, the recession hasn’t hit him!!
Ps: I am so looking forward to a similar predicament.

what was all the fuss about??
I am very tolerant when it come s to the range of genre’s I listen to. I was at f bar the other night and apparently a Dj goa gil had come down to play there.(No points for guessing where he is from) I was told by a friend that he was the architect of goa’ s psychedelic trance scene and blah, blah, blah….... and more blah!!!
After party thoughts!!!
Damn! I’ve got a headache from all the noise. U really do have to be psyched to enjoy that kind of music. I think ill stick to the normal club songs from now on.

In and out of love - 1
There are countless movies and books about falling in love. However, I wonder how many books and movies are there about falling out of love. It truly is not a sought out topic for obvious reasons, not a topic that is going to be a huge money spinner either. But as realistic as falling in love.
Like everything in life has an entry and an exit point, so do relationships. People fall out of love for no reason at all. Don’t get me wrong, I am sure they still care for the person. But really, is that a good enough reason to stay in the relationship. Food for thought!!
PS: Ran, u were asking me the other day for a theme to write a book about, here’s number one

Porno buddies
Dirty as the title may be, this is hilarious!!
A Conversation from the "Coupling" series
Steve has just asked Susan out and she is doing her research on him
Susan: That Steve guy u know. How well do u know him. R u close
Jeff: Close! We are porn buddies
Susan: Porn buddies
Jeff: Oh yea
Susan: Is this a code, when u 2 were in prison or something.
Jeff: No, No, No, it’s a safety precaution
Jeff: Like a scuba diver he dives with a buddy in case he runs out of air
Susan: So r u telling me that a porn buddy stands for somebody who stands by with oxygen.
Jeff: No, many years ago, Steve and I exchange house keys
Susan: R u sure this is not a code
Jeff: This is not code
Susan: All right
Jeff: In the event of Steve s death, the first thing I would do (pause) upset though I would be, is to go to his house and remove all the pornography, before his parents can find it.
Susan: So cute!!
Jeff: And he s supposed to do the same for me. That s how close we are.
Susan: U guys have seriously made arrangements to destroy ur dirty mags.
Jeff: Who said destroy? (Grinning)
Susan: U wouldn’t keep them. Would u
Jeff: It’s a perk
Susan: Oh Jeff (walks away)
Jeff: That s the beauty of it u see, ur best friends dead, but there s a bright side to it.

I was going through the billboard charts a little earlier and I saw A R Rehman s song listed in hot 100 charts. Yep! The one with the pussy cat dolls. Is he the first Indian artist to break into the billboard charts as well? I am not sure, ill probably have to do a little more research to confirm that one. Too lazy do that right now, lazy Sunday evening and all that. I think ill go back to seeing "Coupling" instead.
Either way! Polite Applause to the Oscar winner! Although, I preferred the original to the pussycat doll version.

Ironies of life
When I was a child, I spoke as a child
I understood as a child, I thought as a child
But when I became a man
I put childish things away
Ref : 1 Corinthians 13:11
My version of the above....
When I was a child,
I spoke as a child,
I understood as a child,
But thought I was a man.
But when I became a man
I dint put my childish things away
I wished I was still a child!!

Lazy sunday evening...
i was reading some calvin & Hobbes strips on a lazy sunday evening on google to cheer myslf up and i felt i just had to put this up here.
My Recurring Dream
I have positioned myself in the centre of a terrace on top of a skyscraper. My infamous smirk is the striking thing which is radiant on my face. Oh! That can’t be good coz I am about to do something suicidal. (Yea, I d like to think there s always a method to my madness, but in this case, there are none.)
I turn around and sprint towards the edge of the terrace with the swiftness of an elf and jump. While free falling, my smirk is more radiant than ever and the sensation is of eternal bliss!!
SNAP!!
What to make of it! I have no idea.
In reality, one things for sure, after my experience with the reverse bunjee, my reaction to free falling is definitely not a smirk and the feeling of eternal bliss. Maybe, I have just watched too much of the Matrix.

Shiny Disco Lights!!
It’s been couple of months since I have hit the shiny disco light s and now I am beginning to miss it. The rammed to the rafter with the brightest laser, the up-for-it crowd, some long forgotten classic club songs and the atmosphere in general.
My good friend Docs freedom s been taken away from May, the poor soul is getting married and has no idea what is going to hit him. The well mannered, soft spoken chap that he is, I am sure he s going be all right long after tying the knot. However, as good friends we have taken an oath to show what he s leaving behind. And in the process of showing him a good time, we have also pledged that all of us are going to move our lazy arses from this weekend till may.
Shiny Disco Lights! Here we come!!!

Amused!!!
I was driving to work today morning and I heard the strangest thing on radio. Apparently, the service provided by a website is , it offers prayers for you three times a day for $5 a month. And all religions are entertained and the prayer would be made in the customs of the respective religion.
Hmmm…hmmm… Speechless!!!
If anybody can make any sense out of it, give me a shout.

Time is a healer
I have had this song (yaaron dosti….) ringing in my head for the last couple of days. I really couldn’t figure out why. And now I do.
This was the last song that was played after every house party at Unit 6, Norfolk Park where the hommie’s had to hug each other and just had to sing. LAME! Yes! It was.. But then when smashed out of your bloody mind. Anything goes!!
It’s kind of strange because from best friends, all of us went to can’t stand each other in no time. First six month s were full of great moments and countless memories (good ones). And then the unfortunate move to 31 St Ronan’s road happened. That was the year when Shilpa Shetty made her mark internationally with the whole big brother episodes. If there were cameras in our house and it was nationally televised, we would have given a good run for her money. With all the Miss Shewt’s and Miss Shiws tantrums, Miss Shwets and my constant make up and break ups (which happened every other day), Mr. G Well! Let’s just say creating a riot was in his nature. To be honest, I can’t remember y I was so pissed with Miss Shiw. The only person I dint have any issues was with Sid. But it dint matter, Sid had major issues with Miss Shiw and Mr G. Shwets and Sid had a very strange relationship as well. She would call him her brother one moment and the next moment u could see him getting kicked out of his own room. :). We dint have to see any reality shows. We were in one.
After dismantling of the whole group, (to everybody s relief) sanity prevailed. I am in touch with most of them and surprisingly am able to forge some kind of sane relationship with them. The whole experience has taught me one important lesson, which is u can have a striking relationship with anybody under normal circumstances, but living together, a whole different ball game.

Another one bites the dust
Come to think of it, its not one it’s four. Yes! Four of my friends are getting married in the next couple of months. And I am thinking to myself, Damn I am not even close. But it’s not such a bad thing at all actually. Having tasted the preview version of it, I am kind of happy that I am not even close. Presently, I am at a zone where I am just content with life. Work is all right, surrounded by decent friends to hang out with after work and my priced possession of all - freedom to live and let live…

What ever goes around, comes around
I was speaking to Miss T the other day about my Weird moment ( Refer to the earlier post ‘Weird Moment’)
Miss T: U deserve it
Me: (Appalled) y! What makes you say that?
Miss T explains an incident which I had clearly forgotten.
Me: Don’t tell me you had anything to with a guy coming onto me.
Miss T: No I dint, but u still deserved it!!
As I recall….
Bunch of friends and I (Miss T included, obviously) were club hopping and finally ends up at AI.
My state of mind: Nice and High
Miss T: WOW!! That girl is….
Me: (with a naughty smile) do u like her??
Miss T: She is sooo preettyyy!!.
Me: wait right here…
I walk up to the so called pretty girl..
Me: hey! Have you ever been hit on by a girl?
Miss T s Crush: (Totally dazed) Nope.
Me: My friend over there thinks you are really pretty
Miss T s Crush: (Blushing)
Me: Would you want to meet her.
Miss Ts Crush: Sure
Both of us go over to Miss T, after I introduce the two them to each other, I say ‘my work here is done’ and goes off to the bar to get myself a drink.
I guess the saying is true, what ever goes around comes around and I must say it does come real fast. My weird moment happened the next weekend.
PS: My moment of salvation - Miss T is not to be considered a lesbian in any way. i was just playing with her. :)

My mother finally found out about my Asthma attack and as expected I got an earfull for my dirty little habit called smoking. :)
Late sitting
This is a mail sent by Mr.Narayanan Murthy to all Infosys staff on late sitting.
It's half past 8 in the office but the lights are still on... PCs still running, coffee machines still buzzing... And who's at work? Most of them??? Take a closer look... All or most specimens are?? Something male species of the human race... Look closer... again all or most of them are bachelors... And why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!! Any guesses???
Let's ask one of them... Here's what he says... 'What's there 2 do after going home...Here we get to surf, AC, phone, food, coffee that is why I am working late...Importantly no bossssssss!!!!!!!!!!!'
This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and other off-shore offices. Bachelors 'Passing-Time' during late hours in the office just because they say they've nothing else to do... Now what r the consequences... 'Working' (for the record only) late hours soon becomes part of the institute or company culture
With bosses more than eager to provide support to those 'working' late in the form of taxi vouchers, food vouchers and of course good feedback, (oh, he's a hard worker... goes home only to change..!!). They aren't helping things too... To hell with bosses who don't understand the difference between 'sitting' late and 'working' late!!! Very soon, the boss start expecting all employees to put in extra working hours. So, My dear Bachelors let me tell you, life changes when u get married and start having a family... office is no longer a priority, family is... and That's when the problem starts... b'coz u start having commitments at home too. For your boss, the earlier 'hardworking' guy suddenly seems to become a 'early leaver' even if u leave an hour after regular time... after doing the same amount of work. People leaving on time after doing their tasks for the day are labelled as work-shirkers... Girls who thankfully always (its changing nowadays... though) leave on time are labelled as 'not up to it'. All the while, the bachelors pat their own backs and carry on 'working' not realizing that they r spoiling the work culture at their own place and never realize that they would have to regret at one point of time. So what's the moral of the story?? * Very clear, LEAVE ON TIME!!! * Never put in extra time ' unless really needed ' * don’t stay back unnecessarily and spoil your company work culture which will in turn cause inconvenience to you and your colleagues.
There are hundred other things to do in the evening.. Learn music... Learn a foreign language... Try a sport... TT, cricket......... Importantly, get a girl friend or boy friend, take him/her around town... * And for heaven's sake, net cafe rates have dropped to an all-time low (plus, no fire-walls) and try cooking for a change.
Take a tip from the Smirnoff ad: *'Life's calling, where are you??'* Please pass on this message to all those colleagues and please do it before leaving time, don't stay back till midnight to forward this!!!
IT'S A TYPICAL INDIAN MENTALITY THAT WORKING FOR LONG HOURS MEANS VERY HARD WORKING & 100% COMMITMENT ETC. PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY SIT LATE IN THE OFFICE DON'T KNOW TO MANAGE THEIR TIME. SIMPLE!

Narayanan Murthy

Sulking Away!!
Yes!! The unimaginable has happened. Manchester united has lost back to back matches after four years and in the most spectacular way. They lost to their arch rival s liverfools 4-1 and against fulham 2-0 and in the process picked up three red cards. Vidic get s a two match suspension. Rooney and Paul scholes are awaiting their decisions for how many match bans they are going to get. Things defintily not looking so good for united.
The funny thing is two weeks back; all the pundits were saying
‘Title in the bag for Manchester united’.
‘United favorite’s to do the unimaginable clean sweep this season’.
And for good reason, they are World club champions, European champions and domestic champions. They conceded the least amount of goals and have scored the maximum number of goals so far this season. They were cruising along with a 7 point lead and a game in hand. And within two games the title race is wide open again. Life is such a leveler. It Sucks!!
And hence I am going to sulk and laze my weekend away and not take any calls from my friends. I know I am going to get killed, Bloody Man eaters!! :((((((
PS: the F for P in Liverpool was intentional and not a spelling mistake.

Wierd Moment
Some months ago…
I am a very average dancer. However, I have this great chemistry with a friend of mine on the dance floor. The Grind, the Jive…. The works... We seem to be able to anticipate each others moves. I really do have a good time when I go out clubbing with her.
We were at AI the other day and dancing away, a random guy who I keep bumping into at parties pats me on the back and says “U dance well”
Think about it, how do you respond when a guy tells u dance well!! I mean if it was a girl, I would be more than happy to dance with her the next song…..:)
I finally ended up mumbling something like uumm….yea…allright….thank you…:)

Mother always knows!!
My mother calls s up at an inappropriate time to find out how I am doing. I was having one those mild asthma attacks
My Actual response: will have to call you back later.
My thoughts: yea! My heart is beating faster than normal, feels like my lungs is about to explode and I am having difficulty breathing, other than that its all good.
But, u have to hand it to her for the timing of the call. Its like how the saying goes, Mother always knows!!

Personally, I couldn’t be around with women for too long with a low IQ. But don’t get me wrong, I need my women to be beautiful, but I just don’t find them interesting enough if they are just beautiful. But Hey!! Thats just me!!
I was out with this most amazing girl last night. She had the cutest smile, the most beautiful eyes and adorable dimples and a certain amount eccentric naughtiness. I couldn’t understand most things she was saying, and yet it was quite an enjoyable experience. The only words I could figure out were Chachu, lalallala, thank you, ur welcome…everything else sounded gibberish to me. . She was making me run ragged all over City Walk.
PS: Oh! I might have forgotten to mention something. The girl mentioned above was my one and half year old niece….:)

Writers Block
How do u respond to somebody who says he s got a "writers block" when he has nt written anything significant in his life???
OH! BTW that somebody is me. i used to use that as an excuse when somebody says to me "U know, u should start blogging". Well the fact of the matter is I am just plain lazy and Miss R now u know the reason behind my FWD.

Mothers Scandalous Moment - 1
Some time in 2006….
It was my first experience with snow; everybody in the house was so excited and very kicked about throwing snow balls at each other. One of the girls had a very bright idea and says “We should play Dog and the Bone”.
During the game Miss S who was trying to tag me slip s and in the process grabs my shirt. As a consequence, she scratches me on my upper chest with her very short nails. I still have the marks of that to date.
Some time in 2008…
My mother see s the mark and the caring person that she is, is very inquisitive about how I got those marks, to which I dint give a response and changed the topic. (I just love torturing my mum…)
After much persistence from my mothers side, I give my infamous smirk and respond “Women” and walks away…….

Scary thought
For people contemplating marriage!!
Were you the same person you were five years ago???
The fact of the matter is you are not going to be the same person five years from now. And you are not going to need and want the same things then.
Like Spencer Johnson Quotes in “Who moved my Cheese”
“The only thing constant in this world is change”
Everybody changes and evolves according to their circumstances.
Now the question is if you and your partner don’t evolve in the same direction.
Then what?? Scary thought, ain’t it??

Stalkers Song
If ever there is a Stalkers Song, this has to be it.
Music is brillinant though......
"How I wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound, but in a language that you can't read just yet
You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart
There are days when outside your window, I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective, when we'll be lovers, lovers at last
You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart"
Ref: Deathcab for Cutie

Guys Side of the story
Finally a jobless guy has taken the time write something about it.
Girlfriends, Wives... FYI
1. Men are NOT mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Saturday night football. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And No; we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one
1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials...
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really!!
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as SEX, FOOTBALL, CARS1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. Thank you for reading this.Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

I came up with three titles for my blog and these were my friend’s reactions:
1. Rebel without a cause. (Inspired from a Tom Petty song
I cant really remember)
Comment: “y, r u suffering form amnesia these days” Thanks Rashmi
2. Confessions of a dangerous mind. (Movie Title)
Comment: “Dangerous mind. Seriously mate!! R u kidding me I think
your danger to yourself than to anybody else.”
3. Mindless wandering of an adolescent soul.
Comment: “We all know you’re daft in the head. Now u r gonna
let the whole world know that ur one. Adolescent Soul….lol…”
Boys and Girls thank you for all your insightful thoughts but I have
decided to go with “Rebel without a cause” considering me being lost
in my experiences at the moment. And by the way, Reshmi I do use
Selective memory loss as an excuse to get out of awkward conversations
and tight situations.
