“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…. "

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??

Although he does realize the ideal thought should have been ……………………….

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!!
