'ehh?? nah that's fine. You better get inside, see ya' 'Ok, see you guys, byeee good night.'

My birdbrained days. What can I say about it, huhhh, they were embarassing, not for me, but for people who knew it..

Like any other girl, 4 years younger my age, I always tended to pick up lines from movies which seemed glamorous and catchy. Lines from movies were definitely my area of interest, and especially if they sounded smart and chick. I was on constant watch for situations where I could rightly put my knowledge into use.  Being less informed about its exact usage. This was one of those lines.

Where did I know

 it meant ki 'Why don't you come in dude, we can have some nice coffee with interesting conversation and think of other ahum ahum options at hand.'

God, wasn't I naive, untaught.phoof.. He must have definitely had a hearty laugh after driving away in his car in usual truck driver manner. hmmm

I was indeed unpretentious and it is not among my best memorable days. Nevertheless today it does make me smile and say 'Ohh boy, you must be kidding' hehe.. 

Just Imagine!!

Well, I was talking to a friend of mine when we bumped into my favorite topic of discussion, John Abraham. The other day there was this news about John being involved in a road accident.. The thing about this piece of news was that he was the one responsible for the accident, but he was also the one to admit the injured to the Hospital. Now that obviously is something. So to say that our John Abraham is like this good Samaritan who is gentle at heart and believes in helping the victims even at the cost of being victimized himself... hmmm. Love you!!

Now coming to my point of concern, ahem.. As my conversation continued as usual I was ठंडी आहें भरें ing thinking about him. I was raving about his being all nice and cute and smart and what not.. And also that he was being a very nice human being by helping that victim, and then something struck my friend. He was like, just imagine if you were the one involved in that accident. Shit man, that would have been the best day of my life. I mean just imagine, John Abraham lifting me up from the ground and carrying me in his arms and I am all over him. By any chance if I were to be conscious till then, I would have definitely lost my senses after being held up in his arms, no doubt about it. And then he would take me for a long drive in his car where I would gain my senses and keep peering at him, not exactly a drive to some lovely place, in other words drive me to the hospital. :P It doesn't just end here(for me ; -) ). Then he would drop by at the Hospital to say a Hi and check on me. Then I would try to see him with the pretext of conveying my gratitude. Then I would try... 

 this would go on and on and on forever.. And you never know, what if we would, you know have some more to look forward.. like my friend generally says, मेरी तोह निकल पड़ी !

Oh god, I am freaking out with the feeling of having a crush on him all over again, like a school girl babbling about her latest love :) Sssho, I am missing out on so many opportunities of accidentally bumping into him. I think I should relocate to Mumbai, what say :D..

Rat-at-oui-ille

Children generally fantasize a whole lot more than we can think of, even on slight provocation of thoughts they can build a whole new world with their imagination. One such a world was this rat world.

My sister and me used to sleep in our room with our little net around us. It used to be such a relief to have a blanket of assurance that we are safe inside (generally it meant safe from mosquitoes :) ). During one of those nights I woke up with this grinding sound. I couldn't figure out the source of it as I was half conscious and half asleep. I thought it must have been the sound of the grinder or something. But as my sleep cleared off my eyes and my ears became more sharper I realized it came from under our bed and not from another room. I was scared to death actually. I tried closing my eyes as harder as possible. As the fear gripped me stronger I couldn't do that also. I wanted to stop breathing and just stay still hoping that the dreadful creature, whatever it was, would go away. But this din't help either, i wanted to yell but my voice gave me away to fear, and my limbs also wouldn't move cause of the fear that froze me. I just lay still waiting for the moment to pass. Finally when it was a little while, I got my senses back and could move. The first thing i did was to hold my kid sister, she never knew this but she has always been the pillar of support to me without her knowing it. Thanks to her :).

Now that I was back to my senses I had to do something to keep away that unfaltering deafening noise. So I put my brains(~imagination) to work. And the first thing that struck me was that this must be the work of some rodents under the floor, digging into the ground. And a rodent with such power could only be a rat. As I concluded on this, I can't explain in words as to how much of a relief it was for me to consider this grinding noise to be caused by rats. It gave me such peace that I could now sleep effortlessly. Well a helpful rat mostly :).

Night after night I heard this sound and my faith in my thought grew stronger. It was an intermittent occurrence without any pattern in it. I wondered every time that if this digging would ever stop, else our floor would collapse. But as usual I couldn't muster enough courage(I have never realized the actual reason behind my hesitation that forbid me from speaking my heart, hmmm) to break this news to my family. From the little memory i am left with related to this account, I don't really know what happened further. Whether the sound receded or we slept in another room or I had a silent pact with the rodents to keep away from our ground. hehe.

Years later when this thought crossed my mind again, I tried to reason out why I had heard such a noise which was ridiculous. Finally it dawned upon me that it was the sound of the squeaky fan which was rotating away to glory every night in our owners house who lived in the house below ours. You can imagine how much i laughed over this realization, I couldn't control myself from rofl. It was a moment of glory for me even after years of that occurrence of that incident on that night. I was happy to solve the mystery of the crumbling sound.

*Warning*

How often have you read some funny disclaimer or hoarding warning us against what shouldn't be done and laughed your ass off?? I surely have seen some. The other day when i was searching for some disclaimers on Google for my original blog I bumped into these rather funny note s. Just thought of putting it here.. enjai maadi..

Satvik food

Ok, this has nothing to do with humor, but definitely a WOW.. I was having this regular talk with a friend of mine and a new term called Jain Menu / Satvik Khana was mentioned. This was a total new term for me considering I am surrounded by people who are either meat eatarians of like me egg eatarians. But then what was even more surprising was that there are dedicated restaurants / dedicated menus at certain places which cater to this kind of elite delicacy. I mean like making vegan food itself was not enough of a trouble now food without onions and garlic and what not also has to be made and made to taste yummy. Isn't that a little like a Herculean task??? If i were ever to bump into a satvikan i would probably ask - How many vegetables had to die for your stupid salad??

Just imagine going out with your colleagues for a dinner and having to be in the corner of a table, or not having tea with the rest of the group as it has something i really don't know about. I don't know whether it does any good being Satvikan or not it surely does give you some limelight for being different. :P Guys get a life, vegan-ism is as such enough a pain, now satvikan cult is competing with it.

Its a cliché d subject to have arguments on vegans vs non vegans, but its definitely funny to see some one put this up on their bumper which says -

"I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian!"

hehe..

Dedication!

This is my first attempt at deliberately trying to tickle my funny bone. Somehow I was born without that one bone which someone once said about - the best thing ever to have up a sleeve is a funny bone..

This blog of mine is going to be a complete dedication to all those people who knowingly or not knowingly bring a smile on my face. May be some citing from a friend or some funny incident which i would luckily notice before it crosses me or even something i see/read any place, something that just seemed not normal. Just about anything..

Smile, it's the second best thing you can do with your lips.

And i truly believe this :)
