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.

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...

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...
