26 - The eventful year

I was going through my FB timeline today and well must say this has been a very interesting eventful year so far..

  • Gym, Day1: I get assaulted by Robo and Beiber..
    Playing in my head right now:
    Kilimanjarooo oooo babyyy babbyyy babbby pleeeeasseeeeeeee… 
    #EPICMINDFUCK - Mind you I continue to hold on to my gym routine..
  • Decided FB was a time sink, tried quitting. Lasted 2 days - Tried again, this time lasted 2 hours.
  • Arsenal - Causes much heart burn, continues to do so. Gonner for life - sigh.
  • Goa with the bwoyz.. I won’t say much… Other than - Fuck you dude - fuck your vip bonus baniyan - fuck polyclub/st.gaymes - gobi manchuria is the only veg starter you can get in Goa - It’s all about sun, sand and s*** - aay mutton curry mutton curry - Mohith telling Ghosh: “Why don’t you get a butterfly tattoo on your ankle” when the rest of us are trying to buy some pretty girls drinks, just doesn’t cut it. - Playing American football on the beach with rose tinted sunglasses at sunset makes you look like a blind man waiting eagerly to hear his pet dog take a dump - Gypsy King is the only legit Jeep there is - When IRCTC miraculously bumps you up to 3 AC you give the fools travelling cattle class a hard time, because you are worth it.
  • The Indian cricket team finally end the 12 year Aussie world cup reign in the quarterfinal go on to win the cup.
    “Dhoni looks at Munaf. Frowns at him. Shakes his head. Looks at the pavilion. Sees Nehra & Sreesanth. Looks at Munaf again. Smiles sadly.”
    “Sachin bowls to Ponting - what turn - bliss”
    “R.Ashwin abuses Ponting in chaste amit_123 lexicon: Bhhenchod!”
  • IPL begins - Hyderabad runs out of Kochi Kerala Tuskers jerseys - they get sold out even before they can hit the uber posh lotto outlets. Fello Tusker supporter and I scour city malls in vain. The Elephant Lovers Association protest the misuse of two tuskers in the videos alongside Sreesanth.
  • Fantasy Cricket Fever sweeps us all, I succumb to master move by machan. “Vandha malai..poana mayuru (coming mountain, going ‘hair’)” - he says.
  • Enjoy making a complete ass off my(our)self by voluntarily agreeing to dance at the sangeet of my good friends.
  • Fell very sick - German measles amma says - where ever she deducted that from. All I know is I never want to fall sick again. Relived my fear for all things that pierce the skin. [Dear doc, please find my vein on the first attempt next time..] Wearing a sweatshirt with the hood on in Kolkatta airport when you are running a temperature, with all kinds of rashes on your face only makes you look like the stereotype suicide bomber.
  • Got Engaged :)
  • More heartburn, this time due to Federer.. I still hang on in despair.
  • Leela hosts me in her Palace - The Fiance wins her first of many modeling shows, goes on to win the grand finale in Mumbai.
  • Best B’dday gift ever - PS3 ftw!!
  • Gift myself a lazy boy and a big ass LED to compliment the PS3
  • My first scriptwriting/directing/editing/shooting assignment - #crazyfun
  • Long pending nose job - done! The world feels like a better place to breathe in, one side of my brain feels like it just woke up. Internal plumbing in order finally.

Back to being jobless again.. 

The Importance of Katrina Kaif in our lives..

me: Are you a katrina fan? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRvGbsEzBg0 Madhubala - Song - MERE BROTHER KI DULHAN - slow motion frames are really good

Seb: let me check

a min later..

Seb: she is drinking milk

me: healthy!

Seb: fuck...but the song is bad

me: hear it a few times.. it gets stuck in your head.. I like it more than the "salman khan molesting the air around him with his dance move" songs..

Seb: hahahah, her shape is too good

me: seriously.. top notch

Seb: it is very proportionate

me: true that.. and I think she is the correct proportion of cute and hot

Seb: in ZNMD she looked really nice...i wept

me: whoa seriously.. and she drives a royal enfield

Seb: yes....that bit in which she chases the car...oh no...

me: yes yes.. tomatino would be no fun without her...

After watching ZNMD I am tempted to become a certified skydiver.. \m/. I have done 3 tandem jumps so far and they were all mind blowing!!

Anyone who is in MountainView should definitely check out Parachute Center. From what I remember a jump cost you 100$, getting it video taped is another 50$ + 25$ for pics.  The course abroad to get a certification costs 1000$ :( - must wait for that next big raise..

ps: This is a clip from my most recent tandem jump..

Long Overdue

Jan 10th, 2011: This blog has been in my head now for a while and I think I have exhausted all the excuses that I could possibly give myself for not having written anything for so long. It’s funny how when I finally sit down to write something I go blank .. .

Aug 24th, 2011: Wow way to go blank head!! - My only excuse being that tumblr suspended my empty blog for no reason!!! Arrrrrghhhh!! - But .. they got the issue fixed within 20 mins of me emailing support@tumblr.com, super impressed I say.. . :)

Believe it or not, I don’t have enough money for hosting space at tharayil.in/ so that shall remain dead. I did not bother backing up even one of the two awesome posts that were on that blog so now I will be forced to write something awesome..
