The days of our lives....

Well...I thought for quite a while about the title which goes with the passage I'm gonna write....but the intellectual part of my brain has gotten rusted...courtesy the job I do...so bear with the title for now.....

So...we started a blog...lots of enthu...lots of ideas...lots of expectations...and finally this happened...as is the case with every project we undertake....we just "lost interest".....nobody posts anything....much less...nithin...who left the software world for good is the only guy who has got the interest to blog....So, I thought I'd share the mantle...but...I really don't have any idea wat to blog about...."The latest financial crisis..."...nay...that's a cliche now...."The pros and cons of India's nuke deal"...I'm sure we'll be requested(that's a respectful way of sayin it) to close down our blog if I write something bout it....so...should I write about "Saifina....abhiash...etc" the so-called news channels have taken that job( for eg. our very own 'Headlines Today'....my gosh...It's a disgrace to call it a news channel..there must be a seperate genre for such kind....'Gossip channels' or if I don't wanna be naive...it must be called 'BullS**t channel'). So all this aside...I've decided to pen in watz happening in each of our lives lately.....

First and foremost...I'm gonna have to talk about our patrairch...Mr. veejar | rajeev (ya..that's his name).. so, finally he decided that he'd get married....gave up his eternal resistance...laid down his arms...and surrendered... We all initially felt bad for him...thought he'd be sad about losing his freedom....but he proved us all wrong....he came out of his closet...what we saw was a romantic new rajeev....then started the all-night long telephone calls (for which he passes the buck to his fiancee...hmm....mr.rajeev....we may be young but not stupid...eh..)...it did not end there....it went on to public display of love (through gifts that is)...one fine day....I go to office and I find a biiig chocolate cake(in the shape of heart..mind you....) sent from his fiancee....It did not even end there...another fine day...he asked us to return the squash racquet,which earlier he generously donated to our youth gang....and the reason...he wanted to start playing squash with his fiancee...once they get married.....whoa rajeev!!....you really changed a lot man!!! :) Just kidding...have a happy/unhappy(now i really don't know wat to say) married life.........

So that's watz happening in rajeev's life...so...now...my life...well...I've screwed up my GMAT once...in the moment of adrenaline...applied again...screwed up again...and finally the reality hit hard...and now I'm keeping quiet...and therez this wonderful project I'm put into and I all I gotta say about this project is 'I can't speak...I can't hear and I can't see'. Well...as they say life has its ups and downs....I think its all my 'downs' put together in one package... So, that's my project...that's my life as of now....and as Slash mentioned earlier...my four foot long hair..is mere 2 inch long now...and I'm not too happy about having to get it cut... And adding to my misery....I slipped my tongue before these guys about cheetahs being used in athlete training somewhere....which created a wave of pandemonium in the team and they finalized my name as 'cheetah'...all the desktop backgrounds have been changed to some cheetah picture or the other....just to remind me every moment of that faux pas....so the 'Phoenix' has not risen from its ashes....and infact it's half-burnt :)

Next comes 'Cosmos'....well he recently brought in a new attire to his wardrobe....it's what we call "The Ultimate Survival Wear". It comprises of a 4 inch thick jacket....which we all assume is...bullet-proof, missile-proof, weather-proof and will survive the eventuality of a nuclear war.... I think he is a little ahead of all of us to prepare himself for the apocalypse :) And adding to that are those long rain-proof trousers....which according to him..give him an overall protection from rain...but..as we all see..what they do better is they give him a near schwarzenegger look...
Apart from this, his sense of 'Street justice' still prevails...as he wants all those rash bus drivers, autorickshawwallas and lorry drivers to be burnt or something :) Apart from this....he is supposedly making a good headway in his new project and I guess...he is pretty happy....

Now about the 'Silver Surfer'.....the most recent big event which happened in his life is the 'Palpitations catastrophe'...one night..while he was working late in the night(as he does most often)....he felt his heartbeat (that's what I could gather from his anecdote...) and he thought he was in grave danger and he acquired the phone number of the Wockhardt Cardiac institute ambulance and pasted it on his desk....After that...he had many issues like...getting sleep in the afternoon hours...etc which all incidentally relate to the palpitations...as he says :) So, after escaping from the jaws of death...he is still living...and is still spending..the most recent of his acquisitions include a book worth 2000, a collection of genuine P.G.Woodhouse storybooks and a noise cancellation earphones set, which adds to his collection of some 100 earphone sets.. which we are happy to use as he never uses them himself :) So, Silver surfer....please keep the buying spree going and never give up....

And I gotta crash now...so the next part continues later...keep watching.....
