Ghosts of my embarrassing past!

Disclaimer: Its ok, if you begin to think am a pansy fucker after this post. Don't really give a fuck. Me Lion of Sparta! Fuck off! =p

Anyway, on a boring tuesday night in office with absolutely no work to do, and my sleep being disturbed by the almost irritating sound of the others playing carrom in office ( its more like a club i should say, calling it a office would be disgraceful for this club). I began reading this totally fundo comic strip called Fart Party. Its about this girl Julia and her take on everyday life, and I gotta tell you she is funny, and what is even more funny is her response to comments left by readers like me. Hilarious.

Word of caution, if you are of the weak hearted kind, and are not prone to liberal doasge of fuck words, blood, gore, violence stay away from this. Psst: get a life!

Anyway, so she was talking about the embarrassing shit she has done in her life, and I thought let me do the same. And these would be the choicest and the juice dripping feed you ever gonna get from me. ( am not gonna talk about my more drool inducing sexual escapades, am prefer being a gentleman when it comes to these things)

1. I learnt classical music. Yes the entire sa-re-ga-ma rigmarole, went to classes, because there was this cute girl there, forsake my cricket during alternate days of the week. This was when I was in 7th grade. I was 11 years old, and I still consider classical music is for oldies. And am not old. 18 till I die. Quit ASAP. Lasted for a month

2. The first english album i heard was boyzone, a different beat. I know all the lyrics for them by-heart, think i maybe out of touch. But I still know them... I think. And that's it, after that I graduated to bryan adams, ricky martin, avril lavigne, before graduating to Metallica ( which i swear is the coolest band), now listening to retro stuff like Elvis, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel. Don't look at me like that I was in 9th grade. I prefer Boyzone to backstreet boys any day. Quit boyzone when the tape started squeaking after the millionth and one time I played it.

3. I used to play with barbie dolls with all the girls. Took extra relish in playing with all the little cooking utensils, and make believe world of cooking up stuff and serving it to my imaginary guests. When the girls weren't there I used to play commando-commando with myself and imaginary villains lurking behind the door. I was in 4th grade. And the girls were more fun to be around with than the older boys who hogged the bat and the ball and the only thing I could do was to field. And thats why I started playing basketball, I could atleast fight with the guys i.e when I got bored of playing Ghar-Ghar ( translates as House-House). And in my defense the girls were HOT, a couple of them atleast. Though I still like to play games with women, stopped playing with barbie when I was in 5th grade.

4. The first movie I cried while watching it on TV was Jerry Mcguire. Nobody was there at home, and I was kinda touched by the movie, I was in 9th grade. The movie still manages to bring a tear in my eyes but I like to pretend that something got into my eyes if somebody notices. But I can't seem to cry when am watching a movie with somebody else.

5. I used to eat red bricks, multani mithi, erasers, pencil lead, anything which was nice to smell or had a crunchy taste to it. Started before I hit kindergarden. Then my mum caught me and gave me a through thrashing, did not stop after that. Stopped after she dragged to me the Doc to find out if any damage had been done to my intestines, was embarrassed when my fetish was treated like a joke. Quit eating things which are normally considered non-edible in 9th grade.

There are some embarrassing things which I still continue doing but will divulge them when I quit them. Oh and there are things I will never tell anybody for my life. I think I may have told couple of people. But the secret is safe. I think. Not sure.

ps: anybody who is sniggering or laughing their asses ( well formed/not so well formed) out, you say one thing in the comment and I swear... I can't do anything. In the wise words of Julia herself

"I’m not really judging myself, just having a good ole’ laugh at my own expense. I don’t regret any of these things because, no matter how embarrassing they may be now, they led me to where/who I am now. which is a 180 of the above, but hey, at least I got here somehow."

This has nothing to do with the post, but I know you'll like this one:

"The most important thing to remember about drunks is that drunks are far more intelligent than non-drunks. They spend a lot of time talking in pubs, unlike workaholics who concentrate on their careers and ambitions, who never develop their higher spiritual values, who never explore the insides of their head like a drunk does."- Shane MacGowan.

Amul - A Short Story

Its morning again, I can hear the darned birds chirping outside, with my eyes still closed I can hear the ticking sound of the wall clock like the irritating sound of the water faucet dripping. The water faucet never drips in my house, because I don't like it dripping, like the way mom's head was dripping blood, and flooded the floor and spoiled the carpet. I like everything neat and clean. My name is Amul. I believe my father was especially fascinated by the utterly butterly delicious girl. Though I have a liking towards her myself I don't like to acknowledge that to anybody. Though not many people have actually found out about this connection. But am aware of this because my father during one of his happy drunken moods told me about this. And those are rare cases. I know for a fact that even if am genetically part of my father, I will never become like him. I study in the 7 th grade. And I like my school. My favorite subject is math. I don't understand why people...

A moment to Remember – They don’t make movies like these since 2004.

Can you recall the last movie which made you drop your defenses and your cynical view of the world and relationships? Can you recall the last movie which made you yearn for something which you knew was all reel but you hoped that it was real? Can you recall the last movie which made you invest so much in the lead characters that you forgot where you were and cried your soul out? Can you remember the last movie which made you reminiscence of a time when you truly and really believed in fairy tales? I do, well some of them anyway, couple of movies do pop in mind which might answer most of the questions I ask, ‘Jerry Maguire’, ‘Love Story’, ‘The Notebook’ and ‘50 First Dates’. But if you look at the release dates of each of these movies, Jerry Maguire – 1996, Love Story – 1970, The Notebook – 2004, 50 First Dates – 2004, it has been more than a decade since I have seen these movies.  2004, apparently seems to be the year, fairy tales for the new century were written and tra...

Happy reading... I suppose...

Hello! Been quite a while since I stared down at the blinking cursor. So here... Uploading ALL of the stories I started and left unfinished over the years (reckon some of this is from circa 2009). Not sure how long the download links will work for... So if you want to read something, reckon best to download them and then like most things in ones' refrigerator, junk them when mold begins to grow on it. NOTE: The work is not proof-read, so there will be errors, spelling mistakes, missing words among others. The Great Indian Mythology : Was supposed to be a re-telling of Mahabharat set in today's day and age in a tongue in cheek manner. But the more I read the actual original story, I realized I can't top the fuckedupness that already exists. But, I did enjoy writing few bits of it.  Will rate this 2/5. If you think what I have written is fucked up, wait till you read the actual story... Not the PG rated Amar Chitra Katha... Also points deducted because I didn'...
