Of pamplets, kakas and Aroop!

A lot of words in this post are in marathi. But read on you, will get the main idea of the post.
This is one experiences that I wanna share with you.

I know tht some of the readers here know about my plan about the classes I wanted to start.

As you might know, one of the best method of advertising is through pamplets. So we decided to print some (800 copies) for our classes.

Once these copies were ready we had to distribute them to prospective students. This is where the fun starts. I and my cousin, Aroop, decided tht we choose K.J.Somaiya coll of engg. as the distribution site.

There was no security at the coll gate, so I went about my business, distributing pamplets to any kid with a hint of facial hair. In my entusiasm I forgot tht I was standing within the campus. Aroop, the law abiding citizen tht he is, was standing outside the gate, distributing pamplets.

All of a sudden, a kaka type guy (uniformed security) comes from god knows where and catches hold of the bag in which I had kept the pamplets.

kaka: Chalo, saab bulata hai.
Me: (realising tht kaka is surely marathi) Kaka pun zala kay?
kaka: te saheb tula saangtil...

Me: Alfa to Aroop..Alfa to Aroop...We have a Broken Arrow! Alfa is down! Alfa is down! This is not a drill! I repeat!This is not a drill!

Aroop came running. Aroop has a way with marathi kaka type guys.He has done his schooling from King george dadar(Sukhi's school). They give special training there.

But this time his charm didnt work. We were asked to sit near the security's cabin.

Kaka: Saab busy hai.
Aroop(to me):Tu tension mat le! BMC aur police mein apun ka bahut pechan hai(this was the King george in him talking)
I felt better after he said tht.

After 10 mins we got bored and started talking about our joining date, movies etc.

There was a bigger(in size and post) kaka who I thought was hinting at some chai pani.

Me:Bigger kaka, kahi tari kara na tumhi!!
Bigger kaka: Ata me kay karnar?? Tumchi pavti (receipt) fadnaar mothe saheb. Je karnar te saaheb karnar

What? there is an even bigger kaka?

After 5 more mins every body got bored but Aroop looked amazingly cool. He was like his father owned somaiya's. It was like it wasnt somaiya's but chaudhary's.

The original Kaka: Sahebaana thoda chaha-paani dya.
Aroop: Kay kaka? aamcha kade swatah nokri nahi!! aamhi kay denaar?

For the record, Aroop is placed in Infosys. And I am placed in Siemens.

Still, we gave him 50 bucks and got out of there.

Was a lot of fun!! We felt like we were a bunch of 22 yr olds(coz thts wht we are...)

One gyaan Aroop gave me was-No matter what happens, confidence lose nahi karne ka!
Point noted mate!

Thanks Pushkar!

This post is to thank Pushkar for all the hardwork he put in making this Header.

There are a lot of things I love about the header. I mean look at the Elephant. I wud have named him Jumbo or Appu(if he was Indian). But Pushkar name him TP. Yes! The name of the elephant is Mr.Time Pass.

I also like the Unlimited edition and Rs.2 on the top left of the header.
Also my name in the centre of the header looks pretty neat, doesnt it?

Great work dude! Thanks Pushkar!SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

What the heck happened here?

I am sure all you guys must be thinking - why the hell did I change over from a well established PR3 blog at wordpress to blogger???!

The answer is tht the people who run Wordpress are bloody idiots! My blog was suspended coz I posted Viral tags on my site. The name may sound dangerous but its actually a simple experiment tht has enabled to increase their ranking overnight.

Curiosity killed the cat.

I wanted to know how in the world will copying and pasting a certain code on your site lead to an increase in PR(pagerank)?


The next day my blog was suspended from WordPress. Yep, just like tht!! No warning no nothing.
Maybe their fascinating Terms of Service empowered them to do so. I offered to remove all the stuff on the blog tht they might want removed...But those ppl cited their TOS. One thing you suckers at WP shud know - if you name your TOS as fascinating, ppl are not gonna take it seriously. Infact point no 14 (or was it 12) in the TOS asks the readers in a mocking way if they are still reading the TOS...


This is what happens when you have a bunch of nerds trying to be supercool. Thts why WP will never be as big as blogger. As I have noticed in the last few days, Blogger gives you more freedom. I was not allowed to add javascript in WP. Here I am encouraged to do so. Ican edit the template of my blog here, tht was never allowed there. There are a bunch of other facilities tht are better here.


But even after a sour divorce and calling each other names,I cant help remembering the good times WP and I had. WP's best feature(if there ever was one) was its dashboard. Also WP was good looking. WP was more like a model while blogger is more like a businesswoman.
I guess I got into first impressions too much.


It goes out to all you guys and girls who decide if they like him/her purely on the basis of appearance.



Think again.
If TV ever taught us anything..This shud be it.


For the suckers at WP

Bizzaro! -by Dan Piraro

I love comic strips… Not the Spiderman or Mandrake the magician kinds, coz they are like Ekta Kapoor’s serials which just go on and on and I cant remember who died/was raped in the last episode.

My current fav is Bizzaro

Every morning, I flip through mumbai mirror to reach the second last page - to the comics section - to Bizzaro

The ideas tht hit Dan Piraro’s mind are amazing! They catch you off guard

Look at the comic strips above…You would never think of it, would you?

Everyday, there is something different, something stupid, something bizzare!

Paneer Hakka Noodles!

Yesterday, I had 1 medium and 1 small Smokin joe’s pizza for breakfast, lunch and diner. I ate so much that even my sweat smells of cheeze.

Observation 1: Too much of anythin…is bad.

Observation 2: Pls stick to Pizza Hut. Smokin Joe’s suck!

Talking of suck, you know what else sucks? SPCE mess… I used to wonder why they call it “mess” …. Now, it seems no other name would suit it better! We changed the anna (no, not Anna kournikova) three times…For the uninitiated, anna is what the mess manager is lovingly(?) called. This anna is usually a southie from…er…the south! Till a few years ago, only shettys had a monopoly over being anna(Did you know is Suniel Shetty is also lovingly called anna?). But now, any dark guy worth his sambhar is called anna. What the heck, we even had a classmate(Rohit Nadgiri) whom ppl started calling anna!

But its not about SPCE mess, its about Paneer Hakka Noodles

The best chinese dish ever tasted by man! Well, actually its the best chinese dish ever tasted by me, but I am a MAN !

But let me warn you, there arent a lot of places where you can get this dish. If you are any place near andheri or Bhavan’s college, Shyam Sunder is the place to go! Its just outside the Bhavan’s main gate. Its a small and cozy place with prices tht wont hurt your pocket. At Rs.40 a plate, this dish is a winner! If you have an acquiantaince, you can divide 1-by-2. The serving is generous! Its quite filling too. Wash the whole thing down with Mangola….or Thumbs Up if you wanna look macho and all! But seriously dude, how is a soft drink make you look macho? You know its a “soft” drink :)

Btw,Vrindavan, which is opp. to Shyam sunder, looks good from the outside but the chinese is not very good. I would suggest Vrindavan’s lassi. If you are lucky, you might find small time TV actors lurking around!

P.S.- Shyam sunder did not offer this writer a free plate of Paneer Hakka Noodles. And even if he did, why should anyone care! :)

Note: I noticed tht there were many buttons I didnt use enough. I have tried everything in this post. Its pretty colourful,huh?

Some girls just get better!

Before you read the following post, read this post - Top 5

I was watching TV (what else do you expect me to do? Its raining outside and I am not much of a football fan.)

So, while I was watching TV, I came across this new show…er…actually its an old show - Who’s the Boss? Yeah the one with Tony Danza. Tony works as a housekeeper for Angela. Tony’s daughter Samantha(the girl with flashy smile in th b/w pic) stays with him.

Now its very rare tht I shud like a girl so much and tht too in 2-D…I had only liked Jodie sweetin(Full House)

as much as I liked Samantha…

Samantha seemed very familiar. This was inspite of the fact tht I was watching this sitcom for the first time!I had seen her before….But where? Internet to the rescue! I found Samantha’s real name was…..Alyssa Milano!

As you might have read in the Top 5 post link I had given at the start of this post, she is on the top of my list!!

Btw, this is how she looks today!!

She just keeps getting better and better!

Scrubs!

I cant do this all on my own…coz I am no…I m noooo…Superman!!
-Scrubs(title track)

Scrubs

I have been watching a lot of TV lately (I got nothing else to do!).I have a lot of favourite shows, but the one I insist you watch is SCRUBS.

Scrubs is a sitcom about Doctors.Now, dont imagine ER…Its not about patients, its about doctors. Actually its about the life of interns(the word’s derived from internship, duh?!). Its also about how their guides(PG docs) and the Dean treat them like shit. Its a journey through the eyes of JD, who is an intern at Sacred Heart hospital(the name of the hospital in scrubs). The treatment of the topic is exactly what makes it so lovable..

I maybe an engineer(Well, almost engineer …since the results arent out yet.) but as most engineers would agree, our lives are shit too! Maybe we earn more(starting salaries of doctors are nothing to write home about) Maybe we dont have to study tht much and maybe when we get our PhDs, we are called doctor too, but hey, what the heck? We dont want a PhD to be by our side when we get a heart attack(and believe me mate, the way we are screwing our lifestyles, we hav sure signed up for one…). We want you guys.

Sorry….. I drifted frm the topic…

Coming from a family of Doctors(and engineers) I know exactly what goes on in a Hospital… Things work in pretty much the same fashion in Sacred heart Hospital(the hospital in Scrubs. kitne baar bataon?)as they do in India.

Scrubs is not just hahaha, like all good sitcoms it has a bit of rona-dhona too. Its just tht here it seems so right, so important, like its a part of the story…part of our story.

Like there was this episode-
JD: I wanna be like you
Dr. Cox:You wanna be like me? I barely wanna be me!

Fantastic…

Watch scrubs at 5:30 pm or 12 midnight [IST](Star World)
