Who Let the Dogs Out!!!!!

ok dis one was due on 29th may but as i did not have permission...cudnt post it then....well got the PERMISSION(yeah i EMPHASIZE on that word....) today so am posting it...dis one has been written in the 29th may timeline so go back to that reference to read dis...hehe

Hi guys..

well been long havent written anything....and as i said in my last post...today...29th may is a special day...and am writing this for a (not-so) special person....hehe...with ehr permission of course...

before u get baffled by the title...i want u to hold on to your monitors..the explanation will come...

well as i am not allowed to take her name lets just call her BB....again...i cant give u an explanation for this abbreviation...she alone knows...lets assume its obscene and move on...cool??

well so i met BB almost 2 years ago...before that chatted on fone for about 2 months...it was love at first sound for me...hehe...yeah i just coined that one...

for her apparently..it was love at first sight....she asked i said yes...i went through the usual first-time shocks and jitters but on 29th may 2 years ago...we were OFFICIALLY gf -bf...

at first..i dint know wat to do...but hell...just went with it and got along and all was rosey rosey...not all the time of course...we had our MOMENTS...good and bad ones...both equally unforgettable...

but this post is not an eulogy to our relationship so dammit lets cut out the sentimental crap...

this ones about BB....

now i cud be cliched and start with the usual wat attracted me to her...and i AM gonna be...

the first thing that attracts anyone to BB is....i dunno how to put it...lets say its HER...its just HER...the radiance that she is....though she hardy ever glows...but she has this magnetic property...she attracts AND repels people...most of them at the same time...

i told her this...what attracted ME the most to her was that she had both attitude and simplicity...and she dint have to portray them..she cud effortlessly be both....

BB has this way of talking...this way of throwing her head back and laughing when something stupid cracks her up...yeah she is a crackpot...complete..she went out with me...wat more proof do u need neways???

she is sum1 who can make u laugh in ANY situation...and i mean ANY situation....it breaks her heart to see her friends sad....and i m lucky i m STILL counted amongst them...

she dresses in the most simplest way...yet she can look absolutely ravishing in even a simple track pant and t shirt attire....and not surprisingly i still vividly remember what she wore to EACH AND EVERY one of our dates...hehe...yeah i know i am boasting of my memory skills...hehe...guess its just love huh??

i have seen her cry just 3 times in her life...and all 3 times it was my fault..i know...i still castigate myself for tht....

BB likes all d saddest jokes u have ever heard...the ones that make you curl your hair and send your eyes rolling back into your head...and i sadly had to bear one atleast everyday...courtesy some of her frnds who never kept her supply scarce...hehe

BB used to say "Hi Doggy" to every stray dog she saw on the street...wen asked about the same she explained it spreads goodwill amongst the dogs...as they pass on the HI to each other....surprisingly i found the explanation convincing...well what can i say...other than AGAIN...i was in love...and i STILL do it....guess that says something...

BB is famous for saying things that really make u cringe...it CAN be embarassing if in public...coz she shouts out the obscenities...and generally says stuff that makes u wanna club her in the head...but i dint feel that then...found it adorable actually...and it is...trust me...

oh and if u r still wondering about the title...remember that really crass and pathetic song that came out a few years ago which we ALL hated...well its her FAVOURITE....i must say i wasn't surprised wen she told me...though she dedicated sonu nigam's ab mujhe raat din to me once...again..one of the best moments of my life...

she used to hum this song whenever i put her on hold...unaware that i was quietly listening on the other end and smiling to myself and thanking God for bringing her to my life...

if i gave her a rupee for every time she made me laugh uncontrollably with one of her spontaneous and with one liners i guess i wud be bankrupt pretty soon....

She really is the sunshine in her friend's lives....inspite of the dark cloud cover of her dark circles...

more than anything..its that glint in her eye and that enthusiasm in her voice that attracts you to her....more than anything else..it was the love she gave me and then took away that makes me say....BB...without you....life wud have been......ok the same pretty much...what did u expect????HAHAHA

on a serious note....thanx BB...for teaching me a thing or two about living your life to the full...about being happy and idiotic and big mouthed....about forgiving your friends and about learning from your mistakes...

lastly...thanx...for teaching me a thing or two about loving someone...and believing in that love TILL THE VERY END!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Cycle, Danda, Ball aur BAARISH......

HI ALL!!!!!

well its been a sabbatical of more than 15 days...comp's been down as i mentioned...and really din't have he time to go to the cafe or something and post...so finally got an opportunity to post today...

been an eventful fortnight this...results came out....got decent ones...not upto the mark but i am not one to sit and regret...rather i am one to learn and move on...and move on i did...:D

rest of the stuff has been pretty simple...get up at 5...go for ashtavakra...get bowled over by what guruji says and come home in a daze most of the times....have been grumbling a lot abt the indiscipline in the group...did nothing about it though...should have spoken to everyone but just accepted and kept my hole shut...dunno y...did stop grumbling also actually...dats a gud thing i guess??

had been planning on calling all college people over for lunch or something..been almost 2 years...so invited people over on saturday...as expected many dint turn up..which was a gud thing else i guess i wud have to seel my cycle to feed them all...hehe

amongst the people that DID turn up...mansi was the only girl...and poor soul came from so far away...guess my mom's pav bhaji is quite a lure even for tiny tots like here...haha

oh worth mentioning here is the sheer QUANTITY of pavs and bhajis that were GULPED...

i guess we kept a score coz last time it was a surprise to know KETAN of all people ate more than 10 pavs and countless servings of bhaji....

this time sadly...ketan cudnt repeat....lest surpass his previous ACHIEVEMENTS....and he was beaten hands down by none other than LALIT...him having started with the pav even before the bhaji was served...if there ever was an award for being impatient...it SHOULd go to this guy...the rest of the gang were minions in comparison to the everest of the culinary contest..of EATING...


well so after the lunch and usual banter we decided to play cards(ya BIG surprise there)...i have never seen my friends loosen up their pockets and pay up for anything as fast as they did for a deck of cards...amazing what people do when it comes to their pleasure..hehe

so after a very heavily cheated game of Judgement....mansi and maulik decided to leave..understandable...they had a 2 hour journey and frankly kindergarten kids shudnt be allowed outside the house after 7...hehe..

then we guys were tossing around various plans..let's go to palm beach galleria and hang out one said....let's play football on MY terrace said the other...alas no one said lets throw kushal and mukul from the terrace and watch them fly(or cry) to their own death...

in the end it was decided to go play cricket at the Multi-utility Airoli station parking lot...what followed was the best hour and a half of fun i have had..

also people were very keen to have a ride on my (now repaired) cycle...

we had a half broken but very solid piece of wood as a bat..and tennis BALL...and 11 totally crazy drunk-without-drinking guys...u picture the scene...oh did i mention TORRENTIAL RAIN???

OH YES!!!!torrential it was...when we started out with the teams and everything there was a slight drizzle...which by the mid of the first innings had turned into a potential downpour and by then end of the innings...WAS a downpour!!!


i dont think i have ever done something so crazy...CORRECTION..i have NEVER down something so crazy...

just HOW we managed to save our mobiles by keeping it in a polythene conjured up from mid air and safely into a dilapidated fire-hose box only we know...

i guess we really crossed limits of stupidity tht day...for apart form me almost everyone had a very long journey back home...in completely soaked clothes..and i mean COMPLETELY soaked(hope u get the underlying meaning...haha...sorry...sad pun :D)

but let it be known tat it was FUN...especially the shouting...and boy was there shouting....after almost every ball...the umpire was the cynosure of all eyes....and at the centre of all the shouting....

one of the most memorable aspects was the cheating...with the stump shortening...and the appeals for run outs...man it was some serious fun...also there was a lot of swearing...as expected from us testosterone-infused males...

we finally dispersed after a good 5 game....people headed home and i dried up and changed and started reflecting on how i never did all this in my childhood...had a pretty messy one actually...had just heard people talk about playing in the rains and all...

well for those of you like me who havent done this...DO IT...for those who have..DO IT AGAIN!!!!

cheers guys...

Anupam.
