Happy Valentine's day




I know its way past the time that i can wish you all a happy new year. But seriously i couldn't have helped as you can see that this is my first post since new year. What the heck... happy new year anyways. N its past twelve on 14th of feb... so a very happy valentine's day to all of ya.

I LOVE EVERYONE WHO VISITS THIS PAGE...

Most of you would have made plans for tomorrow. It might seem very teenagy (i know that's not a word) to some of you (i'm one) while some might get a perfect excuse to spend the entire day with you galfren/boyfren. You can go for romantic plays/movies, pub parties or just to eat out. All good restaurants will have valentine special brunches n dinners. Couples should not miss that while single guys n gals can find someone... you can find a valentine or just someone to hang out with. You are not getting in anywhere if you are single, specially guys. So its kinda very dull for blissfully single people n if you are too shy to find someone to go to one of these places.

But its very interesting to ponder on how Valentine's day is commercialized so much. Hiked entry fees to all pubs with couples entry only, full houses n special movie shows, special candlelight dinner in restaurants where you will not get a table unless you have made prior reservations quite some time ago etc etc. If that is not enough... you have very mushy and costly cards to give to your loved ones. The rose you could have bought for 10 bucks everyday will cost you no less than hundred bucks. N if you are a guy n you don get one for ya chick... Man you are so dead!!. If that is not enough... you'll be charged one buck per SMS which used to be free otherwise or something of the same sort thanks to all mobile service providers grabbing the oppurtunity to milk some serious money out of all this valentine's affair. Nice na!!! But nothing can stop us from loving our loved ones.. right?... deep huh :-p.

But then there are ppl who will try to stop you from loving each other... supposed imposters of guardians of indian culture - Shiv Sena n Ram Sene are one to start with. But come of think of that... Who the fuck are they to tell us wat to do and not to do on valentine's day. N i don't think its a part of indian culture to bash up chicks. Plus i can really not relate to them having problem with pubbing. Recent research conducted in a room (no. 643) of VIT men's hostel by two most prominent researchers in the field, Dr. Lakhwani and Dr. Ramamoorthy has revealed that alcohol is the only last thing on this planet which can keep you sane on this crazy planet of ours that is lovingly called mother earth. N dancing is the best form of cardio workout you can ever have, n no we don't say that but is rather a well known fact. As far as gals feeling skimpy clothes... Duh! we don mind. But jokes apart, who is to decide what is fashion, what is indian culture and wat can be skimpy enough to be called skimpy.

FYI If you are found in a pub/cinema hall/garden with a chick on feb 14 in Bangalore and many other cities, ppl from Ram sene will get you married right there and then complete with sindhur and mangalsutra. Not to mention, many couples are manhandled every year on this day.



Pink Chaddi Campaign logo... pretty graceful eh!!


But then came the "Pink CHaddi" campaign. Its innovative, hillarious and going to be major embarrassment to some wannabe patriots if you want to call them that. First time i heard bout that n i was like... WOW!!.You can send pink chaddis to Pramod Muthalik himself or drop off packet of pink chaddis which you wrapped yourself with all that love and compassion for him at a nearest chaddi collection point where volunteers will make sure that you love is delivered to whom it was meant for. Actually serves them right. Not to forget the "Pub Bharo" campaign. Chicks, from Bangalore to Bihar whether regular pubbers or not have been asked to go to their nearest pub and raise a toast to love and freedom. Non drinkers can sip on juice, alcohol is not a compulsion. Amul has mocked the bashing of pubgoers and promoted pink chaddi campaign on their utterly butterly butter packets. CHeck it out for yourself.






Chennai is sporting a Valentine's special marathon starting from Marina Beach. Guys and gals have been requested to participate and thousands have registered. Even open for LGBTs (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgenders). Your gender or sexual orientation does not matter... its the spirit of day that does. Run for love... love is wat we need the most in this planet which is slipping into violence and depression with each passing day.

Before i conclude this post.... Valentine's day is not just for guys and gals who claim to be in blissful love with each other (Oh!! are they?) but it is for everyone whose loves. Be it your frenz, parents, brother, sister, cousins or anyone... never mind. Do call up n wish your parents, all your frenz and everyone else you love. SMSes can do too... just letting ppl know you love them is enough whichever way it be.

As for the people who are fortunate enough to be single yet (like me)... call up frenz and arrange for some booze n dinner or go out to play pool and eat out somewhere n you sure will not feel left out... you are not the only single left on the planet.

Peace out this valentine's... hope you have fun.

P.S.: Love ya all who have patience enough to read all that bull crap i write in here so often. Don't be shy to wish valentine's and send ya ummaahhs to me... post them in comments.

Hello aunty!!!

Once it so happened that I along with my frens went to eat out at China town. A very humble place that Vellore is, you hardly have much places to eat out at… CT being one of them. Plus not to forget they serve good Chinese. So me, Harry, Karan, Prashant, Arvind and Nigel went to have a good dinner there. But the primary problem being, that it is always crowded by guys and chicks from VIT as well as CMC… so u end up waiting in the lobby for at least for say half an hour generally before you get a table. Here we were sitting in lobby sipping on dew and eagerly waiting to get a table. We were famished and Arvind’s pjs were the only solace. Just then came a classmate of mine with his gal to have dinner there. For the record… he looks handsome and kinda cute. But his gal looks like his mom… fat and ugly. U understand what I mean right?

Nigel hardly comes to class and has only an acquaintance with most of others in class other than me, Harry and Karan. This classmate of ours comes in to greet us and we do the same. We know his gal too and so we greet her too. Nigel has only a faint acquaintance with this guy and obviously does not know that the gal beside him is his chick. He gets up to greet him and shook hands with him and then offers his hand to his chick saying very mildly, as if whispering, “Hello aunty!!”. I was standing beside Nigel and I was awestruck… so much so that my jaw dropped. I was staring at Nigel with eyes so wide open that it might seem that my eyeballsy might pop out anytime and they will drop on the floor and roll off across the lobby. Though it seems that no one else heard or probably our classmate and his chick heard him but nevertheless ignored it and marched on into the dining room as waiter called them out to take a table for two.

I was still looking at Nigel dumbstruck with my mouth wide open. “Dude!! Did you just say hello aunty to her?” I said raising my eyebrows with a smirk. Nigel replies very innocently “Ya I did… so? Isn’t she his mom”. Lo!! … and we all broke out in laughter. Nigel, tho however confused he was, joined in too.

“So she isn’t his mom?” he said chuckingly.
“No she’s his galfren… “ I explained.
“Common? Don’t bullshit me… look at her. She’s fat… she looks ugly. How can someone ever hang out with her?” he said trying to sound innocent but having hard time containing his laugh and managing with a devilish smirk across his face.
“Ya… she is. Live with it”

“Shit man… good I didn’t say it loud. Do you think they heard me… him and his gal? Oh wat the fuck… I don’t care” and started chuckling again.

Now whenever I see my classmate with his gal a smile surfaces on my face remembering this particular incident. Whenever he passes by I say it under my breath “Mama’s cute lil boy” and Nigel breaks out in uncontrollable laughter.

But Nigel still wants to ask... why do guys want to hang out with gals who look like their mom? Do drop in answers if you have any in he comments section....
