sex always loses. damn.

i've wanted to have sex but ended up fixing someone's comp instead. i've never wanted to fix someone's comp but had sex instead.

- kris, on twitter, one late night after a lot of wine

close your eyes, open your palm

me: close your eyes, open your palm

(with friend 1)
f1: no, i won't.
me: if you don't, you won't get something. open your palm.
f1: okay (opens palm)
me: now close your eyes
f1: uhhhh
me: come on!!!
f1: okay
me: see, that wasn't so bad after all, wasn't it?

(with friend 2)
f2: why?
me: just do it!
f2: no i won't!
me: oh come on!
f2: first tell me why
me: if you don't close your eyes and open your palm i won't give you something.
f2: no i won't.
me: alright, then i'm not giving it to you.
f2: okay.
me: seriously, i won't! (*walks away*)

i wonder what friend 2 was thinking. she just missed some fruit flavoured candy :)

i says

happened 2 minutes ago:

(insert arbitrary conversation here)
k: is that the good idea?
t: yup, it's a cool.

i wonder if the second line was intentional...if it was, that's the first time i've ever seen my manager make a grammatical mistake just because i did :D

the vacation feeling

i just discovered the best way to make my weekend more relaxing (if i'm spending it outside of home):

go out in shorts and slippers.

yeah, that just changes everything. maybe it's because i'm always wearing shorts at home and on vacation, or maybe just because they're so comfy and perfect for bombay weather (yeah, even the peak of "winter" :D)

it was a lazy saturday morning (the day before yesterday, to be precise). so lazy that i didn't get out of my sleeping clothes.

i went for a movie *alone* to inorbit (another first!!! yayyy!!!)

met a friend outside her place at d-mart for a few minutes.

picked up punkpolkadots at marve road.

biked to bandra.

roamed hill road while punkpolkadots shopped.

took a train to churchgate.

desserted at theobroma's.

was joined by arjun for a few beers at leo's.

roamed colaba causeway while punkpolkadots shopped (she's a very guy-friendly shopper - brought 3 skirts and a dress in 5 minutes, about the same time as it took me to take out money from a nearby atm :P). now that's nice!!!

took a fast train back to bandra. almost lost my shorts in the rush. thank god for secure undies!!! :P

picked up my bike, went to ivy at versova.

chilled out at ivy with aalaap and punkpolkadots till the wee hours of the morning (ivy has *nice* and super cheap wines, though i couldn't appreciate them with my stuffed nose :().

got lost and reached juhu beach.

finally reached home at 2:30am.

went to sleep. still in my sleeping clothes. (okay, i was exhausted...i'm not such a dirty fellow on normal days)

it was the most awesome day spent in bombay in my recent past!!! probably because i haven't spent a weekend in bombay in the recent past. or maybe also because of the shorts :D

next experiment: commando ;)

yes, please ignore this post too

i just don't get why some "friends" ignore me till i start going all melodramatic and emo. and that's even though they consider me a "good friend" and all.

cut the crap, i say!!!

if that's what i need to do whenever i need to get their attention, doesn't it seem logical that i'm just gonna start doing it more often?

i don't wanna be emo...and i hope no one else wants me to either.

please, folks. behave!!!

embarassment

i have this penchant for landing myself in strange situations...but yesterday took the cake: two incidents in the span of an hour!!!

scene 1:

outside orlem church. i had to go for the 7pm mass. i was 5 minutes early. i was so hungry i thought i would pass out. i had my lunch still packed in my bag (had gone to inorbit for lunch...friday woo hoo!!!). decided to eat it. realised i have no spoon, no napkins, nothing. just the tiffin box. decided to be as inconspicous as possible since it felt very weird eating my tiffin (chicken curry, btw) standing on a roadside.

opened my tiffin. picked out chicken pieces one by one. since they had tiny and partly edible bones, i started chewing them bones and all and eating them whole.

someone calls out to me. asks me if i'm the security guard.

i then realise i'm standing next to an atm. the corporation bank atm, to be precise.

he asks me how to use the atm.

i stuff all of the chicken in my mouth and hope he doesn't notice.

i then mumble that the atm is out of order (the light above the card slot isn't blinking).

thank heavens that guy didn't know me. i hope he never sees me again. in fact, i wish he never saw me ever. i wish i was a turtle so i cold have put my head into my shell or someplace he couldn't see me. seriously.

i felt like a school kid caught eating his tiffin under the bench, and stuffs the rest of it in his mouth because he doesn't know what to do with it, and is then summoned in front of the school headmaster and can't speak because he has a stuffed mouth. yes, that embarrassing. i bet you now know how i felt.

scene 2:

on my way home after aforementioned mass. traffic jam at a signal. i'm irritated cos i'm in a hurry to get home (it's my parents' anniversary, damnit!!!). small gap opens up. my bike stalls at the very same instant (don't ask why, it just happens...at the worst possible moment :P)

i started up the bike in a hurry (yes, i've finally fixed the electric starter :D), and revved it. just as this woman appears from behind an adjacent sumo and bang in front of my bike.

apparently, while starting, i revved the bike way too much because that woman (she seemed to be the nervous sort who talks to herself when startled...dunno if you've met the sort) actually tried to scream "OH MY GOD!!!", but was so startled that she couldn't actually make a sound...so what resulted was a silent lip synch (more like a throat synch, really) at point blank range. i said sorry to her and she was even more embarrassed knowing that i saw her expression. what resulted was a really weird moment with both of us staring embarrassedly at each other, until the cars behind us started honking :P

oh and something else also happened, but i can't remember it now so i shall not count it. two events in an evening are more than enough :D

goa and back

it's so funny how riding to goa and back doesn't even feel like an achievement, even though it was my first time. i guess i've been doing too many long rides of late :D



the ride to goa via nh4 was amazing...as was the ride back (atleast, the part after sunrise - can't really say much for riding in pitch darkness, though it was fun too, but of a different sort).

there were a lot of picture perfect views along the way, especially in the katraj area (outside pune) and at the amboli ghat. unfortunately i was too busy riding to click any pics :(



oh and the ride was super cold - i look bloated because i was wearing atleast 5 layers of clothes!!!
