Love Rained in Chennai!

It was a natural miracle. Up in the sky, a few miles high, a set of dark clouds roared at me.. yes the same dark clouds I was talking abt a few blog entries back... I knew they were approaching... It was historic.. It was just a far dream for me to imagine how water vapour would condense down into a few droplets, large enough to quench the thirst of a drought ridden barren land... Water drops! For it, it was Love... a soft caring touch that makes it forget all the pain it went through.. all the dryness.. all the neglegence.. all the cracks.. all the gaps... 

I was walking down the lane when a big drop landed on my forehead, as I raised my head up.. There was thunder... ther was lightning in the sky... But I knew they wer all trying to wake me up alive... alive into a world of happiness... into a world of comfort..into a world free from hea(r)t strokes... ;-) Into a world of love, peace and harmony... Half drenched in the maiden rain I walked... Dreaming... smiling... hoping... and most importantly with a state of elated bliss.. with each and every single cell in my body boasting... yeah..!! Love rained in Chennai!! :)

Love - The Mystery Solved!

 

I was just trying to define love for a couple of years...hmm...well Love isn't really the thing when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other..!!!! Its really more than that we can ever imagine dear friends.. read on >>

Assume Mr A meets Ms D. B and C are his friends! They are just spectators. 

Lets see how Mr A falls in Love with Ms D! So Ready ? here it goes >>

 

Mr A loves Chicken. He eats tandoori and grilled chicken 3-4 times a week. Green salad with lots of onion and raddish is another fav dish this man eats. He does a combi of these 2 dishes the night before the day he meets Ms D through Sheer natural coincidence. 

Presenting you Ms A! and Ms D! Their eyes lock!

After effect:

Mr A's heart beat increases, he loses appetite and sleep. he has an intense feeling of excitment. He listens to his fav song that night. A few pimples pop up on his face the next day morning and Mr B(The external trigger) says - "Yaar... pimples!!! looks like someone has started loving you!!" That evening he goes to a movie with Mr C in which his fav actress is on lead role.At the end of it he feels his fav actress looks like Ms D! He eats a lot of his fav Diary milk chocolate that night to add sugar to his feelings.

Next day - Mr A falls in love with Ms D. He is on cloud nine! 

How come ?????????

Explanation:

Rewinding to the night when Mr A eats Chicken and Green Salad. Chicken contains Zinc! Zinc is a mineral that aids in the natural production of testosterone! Onions contains a chemical called Allicin which also contributes to increased production of testosterone! Zinc rich raddishes are natural testosterone boosters!! Oh man..  this guy must be on nuts now!!!!! He really is... the next day he meets Ms D.

Experts say that Lust is the initial passionate sexual desire that promotes mating, and involves the increased release of chemicals such as testosterone. There you go..!! Mr A is rich w.r.t!!! Thanks to those onions!! He gets attracted to Ms D, as and when their eyes lock!

Attraction is the more individualized and romantic desire for a specific candidate for mating, which develops out of lust as commitment to an individual mate forms. Studies in neuroscience have indicated that as people fall in love, the brain consistently releases a certain set of chemicals, including pheromones, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, which act in a manner similar to amphetamines, stimulating the brain's pleasure center and leading to side effects such as increased heart rate, loss of appetite and sleep, and an intense feeling of excitement. Wow!!! Thats exactly what happened to Mr A that night!!!  

Overdose of testosterone causes excessive generation of sebaceous fluids that invariably cause pimples and Mr B correctly points it out the next day morning!!! well a man in love mistakes a pimple for a dimple... He happily goes out for a movie with Mr C!! This guys brain is already a juice made out of tiny molecules of chemical-cupids and ends up thinking that the actress looks like Ms D!!!

Adding fuel to the fire.. he eats chocolate. They contain Phenethylamines or PEAs or the Love-Chemical. Phenethylamine is a natural compound biosynthesized from the amino acid phenylalanine by enzymatic decarboxylation and are believed to function as a neuromodulator or neurotransmitter. They help in sustaining mood and also helps in increasing extracellular levels of dopamine mentioned above.Mr A is on a high!! [ You cannot blame Mr C for experiencing all these things himself coz It was Mr A who got him those dairy milk chocolates tat night and took him to the tandoori hotel ] 

Mr A wakes up the next day into a new world and proclaims he is in Love with Ms D!! 

Joke of the century...!! See how he just got fooled by a bunch of freak chemicals!!!

Well the mystery around Mr A falling in love is solved!!! Hope u guys enjoyed the read... see ya..

Oh Oh boy!! wait... forgot to mention a few things.. We just saw the two stages of love.. Lust and attraction.. These are temporary stages... they probably last for a few weeks or a few years.. hmm.. Then confused on how some couples have a long relationship ??? If u wanna know Dont miss this piece >>

Attachment is the word here! Attachment is the bonding that promotes relationships lasting for many years and even decades. Attachment is generally based on commitments such as marriage and children, or on mutual friendship based on things like shared interests. It has been linked to higher levels of the chemicals oxytocin and vasopressin to a greater degree than short-term relationships have.

If all the relationships Mr A had or will have are short-term.. No doubt his levels of oxytocin and vasopressin are very low.. And the interesting fact is tat I was not able to google out a single natural food source for these 2 stuffs.... May be tats the reason why they say tat even God cannot make someone fall in love with you and the same reason why Bruce failed to make his wife fall in love with him in the movie Bruce Almighty!!! Simple... :)

tats it.. bye.. :)

Words that changed my life

I have been thinking a lot, for the past couple of weeks.. wrote down a lot about me... typed pages and pages like a mad man... but I wasnt convinced on what I wrote.. was it worth a read ??  But ya.. then I thought why dont I share something which helped induce, a spark within me long back, which led me to what I am today... 

Some 5 years back my friend took with him a print out, to the class room... he said it was really inspiring... Back at the hostel I read it twice.. thrice... may be a couple of times more.. It was really inspiring.. Here is an un cencored version of it... take ur time to read...

My friend opened the drawer of his wife's chest and took a packet of lingerie wrapped with rice paper: “This,” - he said - “isn’t any ordinary package.” . He threw away the paper and he observed the beautiful silk and embroidery. "We bought it the first time we went to New York, 8 or 9 years ago. She never used it. She was keeping it for a special occasion. "Well I think this is the right occasion." He went close to the bed and he put it next to the other things he was going to bring to the funeral home. His wife had just died...

He turned to me and said “Never save something for a special occasion.  Every day in your life is a special occasion.”

I still think those words changed my life.

Now I read more and clean less.  I sit on the porch without worrying about anything.  I spend more time with my family, and less at work.  I use crystal glasses every day.   I’ll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if I feel like it.  I don’t save my special perfume for special occasions; I use it whenever I want to.  The words ‘Someday…’ and ‘ One Day…’ are fading away from my dictionary.  If it’s worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now.

I don’t know what my friend’s wife would have done if she knew she wouldn’t be there the next morning, this nobody can tell.   I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends.  She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels.   I’d like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favorite food.   It’s these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come.  Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.   Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one.

You're beautiful...

It was a busy week, for we shifted to a new house.. not far way.. to an apartment next street.. The New house is cool... spacious and calm..reverberating with positive vibes.. more over we can see beautiful gals all around..:) see how life can change merely by a house shift.. tat too a few metres away..!!

I strongly believe that the bicycle gal in white salwar who gave me a look the other day should also be stayin somewhere around.. we never know.. she might be stayin next door..!!

Im sure.. life is gonna be exciting(hopefully and in the right sense) in the coming days..

After a late night coffee from Barista we finally settled down.. I lay on my bed with a few men's magazines around flipped open.. 

It was 2:30 AM.. early morning or late night(howevr is this to u) but ma music system still pumped out my fav song -

:

: 

I saw your face in a crowded place,

And I don't know what to do,

'Cause I'll never be with you... 

:

Back @ 9:30 PM 

I steered ma bike (I prefer sayin it like tat coz my bike costs more than the cheapest indian car, I should mention it somewher na.. else wats the use!) down the Gemini Flyover... downed the gears from 6 to 1 to stop at the Red Signal Ahead!!!

I saw her on a bike.. but she was with another man..!!

Dressed in my fav peacock blue colour,the  jewels on her dress and the small diamond studded earring she wore wer no close to her shiny little brown eyes.. Her hair unattended waved with the evening breeze.. I stared at her like a hapless little sheep lost in the woods craving for some miracle to happen.. My brain multitasked as I looked at her eyes and prayed that the Red signal never went green.. Or at the say of the magic word "ABRACADABRA" the girl disappears from the his pillion and re-appears at mine.. or the  man took my seat and I took his!(seriouslt I dont mind giving up ma bike for this!!) 

I was near-to-drooling-situation as she looked at my face and gave out a smile... She had the most charming smile I had ever seen on this planet.. I was on Cloud nine..!! This was it.. eyes locked.. our hearts connected! The signal went GREEN! oops it was the traffic signal!! 

I searched for the gears.. I was down from the clouds in no time.. I pressed horn instead of the engine start button.. She moved away from me.. Their bike roared from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds.. SO DID mine...!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Biking was never so thrilling before... The guy who was counting stars on the night sky from the top of Marriott Courtyard saw our bikes streak thru traffic ridden Mount Road.. But I knew tat we would part one day.. and the day is today.. and is in a few seconds..!! There she goes...  

(I Woke up hearing my friend shout) 

But my music player still played..

:

:

I saw your face in a crowded place,

And I don't know what to do,

'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,

As I walked on by.

She could see from my face that I was,

Fcukin high,

And I don't think that

I'll see her again,

But we shared a moment that

will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.

You're beautiful it's true

Memories...

A dark blue spot appears at the centre of a pitch black screen... The spot grows into a blue marble.. elegant with its turouise blue tint, it turns blue green white mix as we zoom in... Wat could it be other than the third planet of the solar system.. the only planet ever discovered where ther is love(at mars they found only life)... The blue beauty of the universe.. Earth! On the planet is a large peninsular region secured and sometimes threatened by the three great water bodies.. The Arabian sea, The Indian Ocean and The bay of bengal.. On the banks of the western side a small wave dies at the shores of a small villiage.. The village wer I learnt what life is.. what love is... wat friends are.. wat hardwork meant.. wat bunk means.. wat hate is.. wat arrears were.. wat diode links.. wat resistors resist.. wat victory is.. wat failure was... 

Water retreats... 

It retreats revealing the sea bed.. 

blue-yellow-green were the correl reefs

over which

the tuna, seer and the catla

lay gasping for breathe..

watching all these scene was

a white little pigeon on the tree which

only someone on the light house could see.. 

It flew swifting down the shore..

it flew down to the reefs,

to get hold of the orange little goldfish,

tat fluttered over, the rocks revealed

A huge Wave, miles high

slashes down like a pirate krieg

and hits the flying dove 

buffing with its anger spree

You can hear people scream,

you can hear people cry

All of a sudden its all numbness, no feel

A white soft feather is the only thing you can see... 

the december wind took it east

Through the groves it flew.. 

to the acres that taught, what love is to me...

it danced and swirled with the breeze it tripped,

it crossed the pond, it crossed the road

to reach the college compound.

ther was noise.. there was cheer..

two girls stood on the second tier,

their eyes blinked below their thin eyebrows

In their hands was a green little book..

They looked at each other as they flipped it open

my name was written in blue bold gel ink..

Eyes slowly rolled down.. they smiled again, they giggled,

just as they read wats written beneath..

was written in gold glitter red ink - Memories followed by three "."s (dots)

I chose love and I'm Here! - the Option Or Priority Syndrome(OOPS)

"The essence of the film which is about optimism and the power of hope in the lives, and all my life I had a choice of hate and love. I chose love and I'm here"
- A.R. Rahman

Though my head phones were pumping out sound waves that sang the most romantic song of the season, wat really resonated in my ears were these golden words from the Great Indian Mozart who grabbed 2 of those gold-plated britannium statuette..

I chose love and I'm Here!

Guys...!! Thats exactly, wat this fuzzy noise you are hearing abt, www.thetrystwithlove.blogspot.com is all about..! 

I chose love too! tats the exact reason why I'm here...and this blog about love, a memorabilia
compiled pro bono publico, is here!

Now getting back to where I stopped my last post...Yes exactly.. the JAM I was talking about..! Here Lets have a second look at this emotional atyachaar and refresh(does tat really?) ur memory:

"Dont Let Someone Become a Priority In Your Life, When You Are Just An Option For Them..."

Lets do a post mortem of this... Looking for clinical instruments...?? Here they are to ur rescue..



A Prima facie case of Just-Got-ditched! as said by one of ma blog readers..

When obsession towards something rules the heart the brain is a dumb spectator... Love has a deep relationship with chemistry. It creates free radicles within the brain cells that shuffles all our thoughts, causing us to act illogically making us scribble such quotes quoted by some Just-Got-Ditched guy/gal...!

This Option-priority-priority-option thing...Its common.. dont we prioritize things.. we brush our teeth first before having a bath.. so we hav given "brushing" more importance.. PRIORITY!! If someone else is using the wash basin and ur in a hurry.. why not take a bath first n then brush ur teeth.. ??? I know this is a stupid example but still.. brushing and bathing are two options in our lives [really rite ;-)] we prioritize it.. Brushing may be the first priority... but it still remains an option.. u can very well go for the next option...

Did a bulb glow ? or is it still blinking ??????

Now Read it sslooooow:

If someone is a priority in ur life... U have prioritized him/her over ur other OPTIONS.. Without options u cannot prioritize...! So in effect thinking vice versa if you are (just) an option for them, they too are options for you... may be only the chronological ranking varies - u w.r.t to him/her or He/She w.r.t U! SIMPLE!!!

[I know i made it too complex.. see how easy is it to confuse ppl ;-)]

So move on man... Your next option is not tat bad... ;-)

I just hijacked ur Status message!!

Before my post on the most important things I have learnt in my entire life.. thought of preparing you from wat others are thinking about their life.. or in general what they have to convey... through their gestures.. through their body language.. and If you are reading this Im sure you must have seen them... the most common these days...status messages in orkut...

For more on this you gotta wait till my next post... Life - Priority - Love - People often get jammed thinkin about all these... my upcoming post wil make a spread out of that JAM!

Im in Love Again!!

Harry: I've been doing a lot of thinking, and the thing is, I love you.

Sally: What?

Harry: I love you.

Sally: How do you expect me to respond to this?

Harry: How about, you love me too.

Sally: How about, I'm leaving.

Harry: Well how about this way. I love that you get cold when it's seventy one degrees out, I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich, I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts, I love that after I spend a day with you I can still smell your perfume on my clothes and I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Years Eve. I came here tonight because when you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of the life to start as soon as possible.

[courtesy: When Harry met Sally ]

when you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of the life to start as soon as possible!!!

came across these words in one of ma friend's marriage website(21st Century.. I know)... He wouldn't hv ever put tat up ther if Harry had never met Sally.. :) Well thanks to tat movie and the writer(a lover... after all everyone loves)...

The point here is.. after a quarter decade... Im in Love again...!! :)

[To the friends who are now thinking about sarcastically commenting on this tat "She"(Ofcourse its a She!) will get committed to another guy soon... keep saying...]

they say that Love is eternal no matter wat the lovers fate is! ;-)

Must be true... coz I believe tats the reason why I still get the aroma of her lipstick during cold December evenings when I sit back close my eyes and think about those days when we used to hold our misty hands during the short walks through the valley at the Western Ghats... I can still remember the beautiful patterns the twinkling stars made upon the black Christmas sky... I can still remember the angry look the butterfly gave when I plucked yellow little flowers for her from the garden... I can still feel the warmth of her chest tat kept me in comfort during heavy monsoon downpours... I can still remember where her brown shiny little eyes rolled when I came closer to her and she in shyness started to talk about discovery channel team comin up to dig the college ground to discover nothing but a few skeletons...!!

On the comment from an anonymous friend who said - "93 Million or 3 Billion ... but u will never get the lost one(s) ...." Its true tat people move Away... but the love for them remains forever... In a way it crawls IN (like during those cold December evenings) to put you in a disturbed mode... a mode tat gives u pain.. a pain tats good... Love ??? hmm.... Love is eternal (It disturbs u always) !!!

Well... I don't have the right to say "In Love Again" coz I hv been in love always... I go with the saying "Never fall in love... Rise from love!!!" U gotta stay in love always to if u wanna rise from it always rite... ? :)

But yeah.. the pursuit of happiness is still ON!

Machine: Hi, I'm not home right now, call you right back.

Harry: If you're there please pick up the phone, I really want to talk to you.

The fact that you're not answering leads me to believe that you're

a) Not at home.

b) Home, but don't want to talk to me. Or

c) Home, desperately want to talk to me, but trapped under something heavy.

If it's either a) or c) call me back.

Tryst - The Dark clouds are approaching!

Yesterday one of ma colleague got married.. We did arrange a 2 day trip to witness this auspicious day of hers... On the way we saw monkeys, ate biriyani(not with them fcourse), took hair pin turns, pedalled a 4 seater boat for half an hour!! (tats stamina), gulped down umpteen litres of water, watched a Chak-de-India-sacks-hockey-hires-Gilli romantic tragedy movie, snapped hundreds of photos... It was fun ...!! but after all this, the most important lesson learnt at the end of the day was: PEOPLE ARE GETTING MARRIED!! Some already Got.. Some will Soon and some Later!! Thers no escape!

Lets see wat some had to say during last week:

My TL : I might in an year.. yeah one year for sure... I guess 27-28 is the apt age.. how old are you ???
Mr B: Hows marriage at kerala ?? will it take hours ??( As if he has a Mallu girl ruling his heart making the brain wander down south-west)
Mr A: hmm... haaa.. ahmm... ehmm... eh..... (looks towards my back.. raises his hand to wave...Cries "HEY!!!" and vanishes)
Mr S (Didnt get time to talk to him... He was always busy with missed calls, calls and SMSes...) :
Mr D (I was afraid to talk to him.. he was down with feelingzzz after watching the movie I mentioned above...):
Ms F: Getting Frustrated???? ha ha.. me too.. Welcome to the club buddy.. (hmm.. am not alone :) )
My Boss ka boss: wat nonsense... hmm.. will see..(Sarcastic smile) Did you get a chance to see my email ???
Mr B(Once I hung up my phone after an important conversation): da She's booked! (now wat does tat mean??) She has a boy friend!
Cousin : I think you should get married!.. bla bla bla(philosophy) (well thx for the advice)
Mom (to an unknown gals aunty): He has shown a light green flag!! (fooosh.. dark clouds approaching buddy!!)

Bachelors beware!! They r coming... !!!

The population of uncommitted gals r reducing... We find uncommitted gals only at college campuses... Hence I decided to go back to the college... MBA.. MDes.. MS.. MTech.. nything!! HEAVEN IS THERE!!!


@ Office couple of them got married this month! Half a dozen got engaged! Majority are thinking abt a second marriage!!(tat was a wild but yet probable and not impossible possibility.. huh!) ;-)

Even a thought on marriage can be classified as nightmare.. It would be a complete hault to those late night chats with friends.. Blanking out celebrations @ 11:00PM when a friend breaks in with a dozen of Lager beer bottles.. No fun with friends...No Second shows.. No City centre visits.. No tea from your fav local tea shop.. No pub visits.. No Party.. No unplanned excursions.. and wat not... U ll never know wat u ll loose unless u fall into it!

But still even after seeing the danger sign board, sitting back in ma office cubicle, I wonder about the girl who is yet to step into my life (NB: The one who steps in and never steps out).. There are 6,706,993,152 people in this world of which almost 3,219,356,713 are females.. and a possible 1,126,774,850 of them within the age limit of 18 - 35.. on further refining we come to an approx figure of 5,63,387,425 and are the ones we are interested in! Being Indian and probability is more tat the gal would be an Indian,so tat would be 1/6th of it..somewhere around 93,897,904!

So one out of the staggering 93,897,904!

Where will She (ofcourse its a she!) be ?? Have you ever wondered(if ur single)?? (others will have other things to wonder about - out of scope to decribe)

Well she might be busy writing her lab records.. or attending her first patient at some ABC hospical, or must be frantically googlging to get a working Code!.. cracking her head on SDLC, Scrum, Java beans, struts and worrying abt recession.. or must be mixing H2SO4 with CH3Cl.. Or giving an "interesting" lecture to her students at some college.. She might be sunk in an ocean of research books in her college library.. She might be designing a party wear for the most glamourous model she ever knew.. Must be chatting with her boyfriend(who ll soon become her ex)! She might be sitting immediately above me on the third floor.. or if I look down, 3 cubicles to the right on the first floor...!! She must have seen me at a marriage reception and I never knew... or I might have seen her on the dance floor but never bothered to give a second glance... She might be the one who gave me instructions to set a callertune when I rang up the customer care.. She might be the one I sat with for CAT 2008.. She might be the one whom I messed up unknowingly at a college fest... She might have traveled with me from Chennai to Ernakulam in the same train same compartment and I never had a clue.. Or she might be the gal in the crowd whose eyes wer like studded diamonds which kept me restless for the next 2 weeks.. She could be Mom's bestfriend's daughter.. Dad's Godfather's Son's Wife's Mother's Son's Sister's daughter! Could be the gal next door.. A lost childhood friend..! A close friend..!! A close relative..!!! A total stranger..!!!!

You never know when fate would double knock ur door..

They say that.. “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

Since all my efforts have failed! now I have left it to the Universe... TO CONSPIRE...!!

Its so boring being at office.. with no work... more over being Single...( Single - bored, goes hand in hand is it ?? ) Spl thanks to notepad for bearing tat emotional atyachaar of mine... Oh.. was tat a Love Letter i typed...??? phew..!!

Wiki says - A love letter is a romantic way to express feelings of love in written form.. It has also quoted a snippet from a love letter written 2 centuries back.. It said.. "Liebs du Mich, Wie ich Dich, Nichts Mehr Begaehr ich". interesting isnt it...ehm.!! Can’t understand ??? well Wiki says its German and means - "If you love me, like I love you, I will want for nothing more!". Amazing..............!!

Importance:
Today I celebrated the sixth (death) anniversary of my first and the only Love Letter ever!

Was on my weekly visit to my home when I came up with disastrous idea to write a Love Letter.. not like the fake ones we write to keep our X'mas friends or our V-Day Secret angels curious and guessing.. this time A real one! Straight from the heart..! Straight to the heart!(and back)

My mantra:
Before giving the letter.. we gotta market it well as it hits the arena.. Like how Cibaca toothpaste used to come with small curios..! ball point pens used to come with scented ink..! Big Babool used to come up with WWF trump cards..! Simple brand management! after all who would care about the toothpaste until next day morning... scented pen unless ur writing exam of an important subject taught by the sexiest teacher on earth.. ;-) who ll remember the gum after the chew ???? and in similar thoughts.. who ll ever bother to remember having a piece of ruled paper with sugar coated crap scribbled all over it.. So.. the dilemma of the hour was - what to attach! A Gift ?

In Search:
With Rs60 in my pocket I visited the Archie’s shop nearby.. Getting both Card and Gift was near to impossible (if I am not to shop lift items) The teddy bears smiled at me and heard them say.. "Take me !!" "Take me !!" The dollies said shy and shimmering "Why not me?" "Why not me?" The answer was obvious and hence replied in style - "Sixty rupees flat..?? I ll take u to my flat" Can love be bought for Rs60 ??? tat was the question of the hour!

Deal Done:
Ended up picking a rabbit made out of light blue velvet cloth.. It had blue plastic eyes.. It had a chain and could be used with ur keys.. But what has a rabbit to do with love ??? The Only reason - it came with an attractive price tag - Rs50! 10Rs to reach back home.. "tats a good catch" I said to myself...

Execution:
In two days I was ready with the plan.. She came walking down the library and me after my evening chaay.. With a crowd of future engineers and coding geeks mumbling around.. our eyes locked, the world stood still and I pulled out the gift pack from my bag.. smiled and said.. "Hi... This ones for U..." and whispered deep down in my heart.. "My Love !!"... and the rest is history…

My Red hot babe!

There she stood shy under the shades of the Neem tree revealing her beauty to not more than our security bhaiyya, a few girls on the adjacent flat, a few crows sitting on top branches.. It was time for her to move out from her comfort zone, for that was not the reason why she was built for and obviously not why I have come to meet her... I was a deadly fan of hers from the day I first saw her on television.. I used to keep my eyes glued on to the TV screen to see guys taking her over.. It never stopped with that.. I visited her quite often at a few places.. a few coincidences did help me to fix - She's is the one I was looking for.. Now she is mine... My red hot babes.. My Yamaha R15.. :)

Someone said it right.. Guys love gadgets more than gals.. This has always been my way to be happy.. experienced it when I got Sony Ericsson W700i camera phone, Sony Cybershot Camera DSC H9 with 8.1 Megapix and 20X zoom, Apple ipod classic... and now the HappinessMachine No: 5! R15.. This gadget of mine did help me stay away from gals for a few months(last quarter of 2008 to be precise) keeping me happy :) But yeah.. the prime motive of me getting a bike was to have a pillion rider who’s a "She"! ahem.. but that never happened! I believe the only gal who sat on it was.. hmm.. hmm.. ah... ah... chalo leave it..!!

My point here was that I got office today and need to rush.. Its salaam from me and my red hot babes... ;) See ya at office... :) and Im badly hit this time... I need a new gadget to stay happy.. which one ll I choose ???????

Preface : He gets a name

I was in search for an apt name for the lead role... the yet to become hero... the one who never bothered to read - "Zero to Hero in 26.84 seconds" or "How to get a girl in 7 Days" or those self help books that promise you to help pick a girl from any dance pub... It wasn't difficult to find a name... I had my own.. But as I said earlier I dont want to wash it in public... So after 2 pegs of whiskey, browsing through all names in Orkut starting with V, G, R, J, A and D; writing down all the names of those guys who wooed my crushes away from me... and finally here I was with the name - The Zero (oops I meant hero) of my story... "Dev"... What better name would I ever get... ????? Well the story is not at all about me... so I dont have to worry about people calling me Dev from now on....

Well Im getting late now.... I have other commitments I dont want to fret or choke my brain thinking about his story or his so called girls or wat ever be the 'F'... better I leave it to him to narrate... Buddy Dev! this blog is all urs... Once done drop me a message @ vijesh.br@gmail.com... I know its going to be boring.. So Im not going to refresh the blog 3 times a minute ( as how I generally do with Orkut) checking wat junk you have typed in here... Sope... its alvida from my side... and mera naam kharaab math karna... and please dont disturb me in between.....!

Tryst With Love - Wat a day to start

10:20 PM Satyam Cinemas 13 Friday Feb 09
Dev: Paro... ek photo bhejna...
Paro: woh tumhare paas hai naa... ( silence for a few seconds)
Dev: Bina kapdon wali...
Paro: Paagal ho gaye ho kya ??

What a movie to start the V Day with... Dev D.. a loosely inspired freaky version of Devdas! We 3 sat at the back most row and broke out into laughter after hearing each dialogue delivery... Perhaps we saw a Dev in each one of us ? or perhaps we saw him in each others ??? Or in each one who filled the cinema hall with thundering laughter ... ?? Well the discussions on tat can be taken offline... after all (like one of my friend keeps saying) who wants to wash his/her dirty linen out in the public...

Tryst With Love... Is a story... Story of a kid who plucked yellow little flowers for his girlfriend during his kindergarten.... its the story of the boy who got chocolates for his crush and ate it himself during the lunch break... its the story of the guy who proposed for the first time ever with a shivering hand and knocking knees... proposed the second time and nth time with another girl with ray of hope in the horizons... and is waiting to deliver his (n+1)th proposal to have his Love take its ultimate flight...

Disclaimer: The specified (n+1) is a tentative value which might get incremented based on some complex geometrical aspects of love and the state of being a being... All we can do right now is blame the stars(more blame games is yet to be revealed)...

11:59 PM and ticking (Satyam cinemas again... but this time its silence)
Dev: Mein tum se bohauth pyar kartha hoon....
Paro: hmm!! Pyar... Sach to yeh hai ki tum kabhi kisi se pyar nahi kar sakte... hai tho sirf ek se... Apne aap se...

Another Disclaimer: The kid-turned-boy-turned-guy-turned-man is not a Devdas for any reason.. he doesn't smoke.. nor has he ever tried grass or any sort of shit... nor does he take more than 5 pegs of vodka(even tat comes 1-2 times a year)... nor has he visited any Chanda... nor he gulps down one full bottle of Smirnoff... nor he has 1 km long dhoti which devdas drags all the way from Chandas den to Paro's bungalow... The story has 50% Truth, 25% bluff, 15% masala, 9% stolen stories 1% love and 0% luck!

Lets hope the hero will soon meet his heroine, so that I can wrap up this blog and publish a 200 paged book rather than as a 200 volumed modern epic ;-)

00:00:01 AM 14 Feb 2009 - Wish you all a Happy Valentines Day... and let me continue with what Dev has to say back to Paro... (Eyes stuck back on to the silver screen @ 6 Degrees... Satyam Cinemas... Second Show... Dev D and a cup of coffee)
