Happy Silver Jubilee Anniversary, 23rd November 2010

There was a time,
When two souls matched.
They tied the knot,
And soon eggs hatched!

We gave you sleepless nights,
Broken crockery and stubborn attitude.
Raising us was a Herculean task,
But you both managed it well.

We had thousands of Maggi, cup noodles,
Gujiya, paapdi etc on innumerable Holi's,
Burst so many crackers on Diwali's,
Growing up together was so fun.

You also gave us Gigabytes of lectures
in the hope that something might sink in.
You know what, we also await that day.
You love us in your own way, hoping for the "best"!

Lucknow, Secundarabad, Shillong, Darjeeling,Chandigarh,
Kalka, Shimla, Kasauli, Chail, Rohtang, Pune, Allahabad,
Delhi, Ajanta & Ellora, Nagpur, Badrinath,
Kedarnath, Rameshwaram, Hamirpur, Roorkee.

Together you both were,
In all the countless trips, postings
Of all the places i've seen,
I like our home the most!


Marriage is now like a good old wine
Poured in two silver cups.
Say “Cheers” to the time spent,
“Cheers” to the life ahead!

25 years of togetherness
25 years of commitment
25 years of a great time.
25 years of marriage...

Marriages are made in heaven
But life is spent on the earth!
It’s not that difficult
As you both have proved!

When both of you are with us
Good times are better, bad ones not so bad.
For the next part of your journey together,
Bon Voyage, Mom and Dad!

you truly were special...

dear blog

you believe that something or someone will remain with you forever. But then it snaps and the next moment you lose it.It is then that you realise the 'temporaryness' of everything around you.

i had this 'temporaryness' feeling yesterday evening when i discovered that the 'second lock' of my cycle had snapped. i had never imagined it to break. but then, there it was...its head was in pieces. probably someone had tried to break it open. probably it died of old age. probably it gave away its life to save my cycle from being stolen. there are a million possibilities. but, alas, the truth shall never be known.

This had happened yesterday evening, probably in the DoMS cycle stand or the sports club cycle stand. now, the lock was reduced to a showpiece. it could be opened with just a little jerk. So after returning to hostel, i put it on my friend- pappanava's neck, as a collar on a dog. he appeared hyperexcited and quickly broke it open. Then he had an idea to put it on another of our friends- maal's neck. at that time, maal was missing so we put it on tharki chacha's neck. he gave us no reaction. With the 'collar' on, he looked like an obiedient circus tiger, sleeping peacefully. the next person to recieve the 'collar of honour' was Mr Wild. He is the 'wild' in the series 'Man Vs Wild'. putting the collar around him is like belling the cat. but once we acted as if we had locked it, he stopped resisting. he behaved very peculiarly. he became hyperactive. his head started looking at all parts of the roof. it looked like a confused radar.

then suddenly from somewhere, maal appeared before us. Now, maal is a very interesting person. every morning, he always spends about 20 minutes 'massaging' his hair with water. he does that even if he is getting late for class. so that evening too, probably he was massaging his hair when we were 'collaring' everyone. we quickly removed the collar from Mr Wild's neck and now all three of us (pappanava, Wild and me) wanted to put it on maal's neck. we grabbed all his limbs and put it on him. but he resisted so much that we couldn't 'lock' it. maal had become fierce. he started moving his elbows and fists in random directions. it seemed as if it was his last struggle against death.


so thus ended our little operation - the taming of the shrew. finally we put the lock on another friend- Tidu's cycle, in the hope that he might get pissed off on seeing an extra lock on his cycle the morning when he is already late for class. it would be a sight!

its amazing to see that there's such a lot of change in behaviour in the toughest of people. all this is by just a simple lock. simple...and temporary. Long live the 'second lock'!

bloody sadists!

Dear blog

some people are born superior. like prince charles, abhishek bacchan, kareena kapoor etc. others work hard to be superior. eg. Dr APJ, Abhraman Lincoln, mahatama Gandhi etc. there are still another type of humans on this earth. they think that they are superior to everyone else. they just cant digest the fact that they are not as great as they pretend to be. they display their self-proclaimed skills at every possible occasion. they just don't know that it looks like overacting.

everyone is different. everyone has his share of bad luck and good luck. these people just know how to laugh at others bad luck and bad times. they are like blood-sucking-pain-in-the-ass parasites who require to crush others' egos to keep themselves alive. whenever u walk with them, u are always the butt of all nonsensical jokes, at which nobody laughes. but those jokes attack the victim's deep seated wound directly. these people think that they are great in everything. also they think that since they have spent a marginally longer time on this earth, they have "experienced" it all!

these complex attributes about these species of people can be summarised in one word (maybe they deserve two)- they are 'bloody sadists'!

they can be found anywhere and everywhere where there are people dumb enough to not identify them.It maybe in an office in the form of your boss, or in a college in the form of your batchmate (who insists that he is your friend!)

truly, these people belong nowhere. all those who come close to them, after a certain period of time, realise their true nature and try to shoo them away. but the 'faithful animal' does not go away as easily. it comes back to you at any time- sometimes even at 3 am.

they know about almost all the things relevant to them. still they have the sadistic urge to learn more. and when u tell them that there's nothing happy to tell, boom- they fire back- 'see u didn't tell me about it naa.. thats why it happenned.' bloody sadists!

Dear God, give the others the power to keep the sadists away... Amen.
