Snippets of a week gone by


It rained in the morning. Not the kind of incessant rains that could rupture thepimples on your face but the slow rain that could settle down on your moustachelike dew drops .
Thenewly introduced - fully cushioned seats in the Volvo busses are damn good . Youkind of get stuck in those foamy bucket seats and don’t have to move your assesalso . It’s kind of perfect for couch potatoes like me.
Mytummy is growing bigger every day. I fear that one day it’ll burst. Not that Ihave to make an entire career and earn my bread and butter like Shakira with mybelly, some sort of exercise will do a world of good. Some guys take ineverything and still manage to look thin . It’s the kind of difference betweenLord Krishna and Lord Ganesh . Krishna has a hell lot of cookies and butter andother junk stuff and yet he gets to be a chick magnet . Lord Ganesh on the other hand has a terrible paunch and 2 wives to deal with . Dealing with 2 women can prove to be very tough andprobably that’s why Lord Ganesh resorted to boring stuff like books and academics .There was a joke that I read somewhere--- ‘Why is Devdas always frustrated?’ Ans : ‘Both Chanda and Paro ask him Dildo la re’. I’m now going to restrict myfreedom of speech and expression beforeI speak something more profane.
Forthe 1st time , I went out with a group of drunkards and faggots (doesthat sound rude??) . Okay a small party in a friend’s place. They are reallynice people. Though I didn’t drink and smoke , I loved the smell when the puffcoming out of the cigarette mixes with the air-conditioning . The smell isreally kickass . I have a penchant for weird smells like this. I also like the smell of the air when crackers are burst . Few of these friends drank beer . Iwas expecting that they would get on a high , totally intoxicated and madness would slam dunk their niceness and they would speak like wannabe suicides andit would turn out to be very entertaining but nothing of that sort happened.
HyderabadiBiryani : This is the best thing to have happened to the world after dahi puri ,veg puff and honey cake . I sometimes wonder what the bakers were smoking when they coined the term ‘Vegg Puff’. The hyderabadi birani is spicy , fluffy and simply amazing . The problem withyour gobi Manchurian or other stuff is that when you go out with your friends ,the pieces aren’t evenly divided amongall the people eating it. I don’t like that extra piece which everyone is eyeing andyet no one takes it. And so it just becomes cold and then when someone finallydoes get it (or, and this is more likely, the waiter becomes the final arbiter)it is all cold and not that tasty. Sometimes I’m not all that diplomaticwith people I’m comfortable with and don’t hesitate to barge on the food likecrows on a dead rodent .
TheDarius Sunawala show is back on radio . It’s been 6 years since this man lasthosted a show and it was great listening to him once again . He’s one of thevery few guys out there with a decent sense of humor . Others just tend to bephony , speak in a fake anglicized tone and shoot tripe down your throat. Iwould listen to the show almost every day when I was in 11th . All the I.Tpeople stuck in the traffic jams would call him up requesting for songs. I hadthen hoped that one day I too would get stuck in the traffic and will listen tothis show . The show is great but the traffic drives you livid ,it beats theshit out of you.
