A Legendary Dinner!

Well me quite like the scene by scene narration style. Me shall continue with that.

Tuesday Afternoon:

Get a call from Gopal asking me to keep myself free for tommorrow night. Dinner party. His dad is going to be in town. Now for a man whose been starved for good food for sometime not because it ain't available but because I haven't been able to tell what exactly my fine palate requires. So I tell him cool.

Was supposed to go for tuesday's party along with Gopal and his classmates, but decided to take a rain-check on it. ( Din I mention that am kinda slightly busy right now in life and don't have time for women and partying right now).

Wednesday Morning:

Have to go for another interview, ( I like to have options and then screw my head up my arse trying to decide on one option). Anyway as usual those people love me. ( Wonder what is that people who are taking my interview love me so much for anyway). Anyway am not taking up that offer.
Couple of reasons:
a) I will be moving back to chennai ( which totally sucks, the city and I have a love hate relationship)
b) I will be starting of as a junior all over again.
c) I would be asked to make cold calls all over again and I hate the very bit of it.


Wednesday Evening:

Get a frantic call from my MD. So decided to meet up and talk about something which was impending for quite sometime. And no it wasn't about me getting fired. On the contrary he was appreciating my work ( the world is going to end soon, am sure about it ) anyway he finally tells me what I have always doubted. The ex-ceo turned out to be a cheat and raped MD's arse. Without the lube. Am told that it pains a lot and it bleeds too. Anyway in the midst of all this drama being unfolding, I get a call from Gopal reminding me about the dinner deal.

Anyway I drop of dinner of to my flat and head out for this place called Tandoor in Blore, ( its pretty close by to my office) anyway, We guys order and drink. All in moderation. Talk and share stories. You know the whole big group of people sitting around a table, eating, drinking, talking all at the same time.

Nothing legendary about the night so far. Till. The bill decides to show up, just to add the bit of awesomeness to the pale night. The bill was a whooping *****. You guys can take a guess. Planning to have a contest. Anybody ( any girl) whose guess comes closest to the real bill gets to take me out for coffee. I know the offer is just too hard to resist. And the comment section is going to lie barren. This is just to check if anybody reads this shit anyway or no.

The closing time for the contest is Aug 31st 1200 Hrs IST.

FAQs

I have no idea why, not that I am complaining but there is huge surge in the number of people who are now reading my blog. And this has been bought (or is it brought, will never really get the difference between the two) to my attention by the slew of comments, by different people, a majority of them complete strangers. And I always have the same old standard questions which keep cropping every single time whenever I see an anon comment. So just like every other great idea of mine, which seem to glow like those bulbs which I first saw in Archie comics (mostly around Dilton's head, guess that is his name, the nerdy guy, don't really remember it so well, read that when I was in 4 th grade or something, my favorite was Moose), and the idea stuck that why don't I get these questions out of my system, whether they get answered or not is totally different issue. Though I understand that the reason why people chose to be anonymous is either they are famous and want common mortals...

Open Letter to the Chennai Male Engineering Students

Hello you-male-incumbent-potential-future-ignorant-regressive-khap-policy-makers, Before I begin, let me first clarify as to why I intend this letter to be both open and specific to Chennai Male Engineering college students. It is open because you lot are, as they say in English, idiots! I am also slightly inebriated at the moment, as they say in Tamil, I am in full mabbu. The only reason, I am making this post specific to Chennai Male Engineering students, because unfortunately I did my engineering in the city of Chennai. This maybe largely generalized in content and scathingly rhetoric in nature. I don’t expect you to comprehend most of things I embark on saying. Consider this to be a very Aamir Khan starring Mangal Pandey where a lone warrior foolishly wages war when the rest of his unit is smart enough to CYA* (Cover Your Ass). I am well aware of this survival instinct which is prevalent in you lot, I have been at the receiving end of it on many an occasion with my own batch...

Awesomeness Inc.

It has been a L O N G time since I have been this excited and proud to own something. The last time it was the Zippo and before that it was my first pair of Nike. Anyway... Ladies and Gentlemen. Hold your breathe and your pee, because I present to you 8 posters of awesomeness. Duly bought and framed and to be hung as a badge of snobbery. My personal favorite as you would by now be knowing is Rocky. After the infamous calling my hostel mate gay night of 2nd Jan, 2003, where I lost my Rocky IV poster, I believe this more than makes up for it. I also absolutely love the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Now the real problem is that these posters are mighty huge and I am not sure which posters are going in which room. But those are just details at the moment. For the time being, I am getting me knob polished by the awesome light being reflected off these beauties...
