i'm thin. i'm ugly. but i'm lucky.

Have you ever felt lucky?

If not, just visit the cancer patients in AIMS (Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences) or any hospital for that matter.

where the heck is venus?

'Venus is in 7th column. Sun is in 4th column and Jupiter is in the 9th column. See, 1st column, 2nd column and these columns are all left blank. No...We cant take this horoscope, no matter how good the girl is!' they exclaimed.

I'm sure by the time I get married, I will get to learn astrology. Now I can understand how our great-elders talk astrology when it comes to a marriage. I'm surprised when I find myself looking at the horoscopes and checking for 'paapam' (technical words - cant help it :D).

I don't understand how these planets, so very millions of kilometers away from earth, affect a living being living on earth. Worst case - how it affects only those who live in India? :O

'Why are you in such a hurry to get married, Son? You will regret once you get married.' my father said winking at me and giving a I-dint-say-anything look at mom.

As a matter of fact, I'm not in a hurry to get married. I'm just 26. But I get fed up when they look at these horoscopes and reject saying Venus is in the 7th / 8th column (Chovva Dosham - technical term :D). Chovva Dosham is known to be the worst of all Doshams - God-knows-what! I keep looking for Venus when I find a horoscope. Isn't that funny? :D

I tell you, if you people go for horoscope-match, only 1 in 200 will suit yours. :P Better you find one for yourself and elope! khe khe khe...

money is important.

I joined this company few months back. They gave me good offer compared to my previous pay. But my current company is not gonna give any hike for the next 2 years and that is for sure.

The technology I'm working on is rare. Only very few companies use it. Now, I got selected in another company where they offer me much more. I need to submit my resignation very soon. But I doubt if they would make this an issue. I suppose not but still I'm kinda skeptic about it.

My team here is power packed. Full of fun. When I said this to one of my friend, he asked me to stay back. But friends are just fun. Nothing more. I wanna invest into stocks and my friends are not gonna give me money. I wanna buy a BMW car at the age of 40 and again my friends are not gonna help me.

I love money more than my teammates :D

i'm so very careless.

I wrote and posted my 100th blog long back and I dint even notice that. I must be so careless. I'm happy anyway cuz I never thought I can be a blogger and there would be people to comment also ;)

When I started to write blogs, my first aim was to make some money out of the advertisements. I just wanted to write something. But once I started to writing, I realized its not about making money. This is a place where I can share my thoughts and my feelings :)

I still remember my friends commenting about my never-ending posts. I was all embarrassed to hear that. Then I happened to read some blogs where they write very less but give a strong impression to the reader. I also wanted to write small posts and for that matter, I dont want to make this post any longer :D

aLL i nEeD iS...

i dont wanna have something sweeter in my life. i just dont need it if something good is waiting for me. i dont wish for anything. i dont want anything in my life. All i need is what you have.

Your Ring-finger!

yOuR WiSh, mY cOmMaNd...

Pre Script: If ever, a genie come across my life ready to grand my wish, this would be the ONLY wish i would ask for...

When me n my wife, after returning from my bank after depositing 1 billion dollars into my account, look through the windows of my brand new BMW car, at my 4 storied duplex-home, i should see my parents waiting for me with cash of 1 billion dollars, while you standing next to them ready to grand me another wish...

Khe khe khe... :D

Dec 10 1999 – around 11 PM

I was in the hospital when I woke up. I could feel the pain on the left cheek. It’s swollen. I can feel the projection. My dad n mom was near me. 'Sorry Son' My dad said crying. Why he said sorry? I dono…all I could remember was a bright light in my eyes…

Dec 10 – around 7 PM
What did u do in the class yesterday? My dad asked me. I dint dare to say a word. He slapped me hard on my face and warned me. I went fuzzy. I heard my dad sayin abt my class teacher. I fell down.

Dec 9 – must be around 3 or 4 PM
My class teacher called up a kinda-meeting with me and other teachers. 12 teachers were around me questioning what I did. I said it was a bet among my friends. I felt so insulted in front of them. She, the girl, was not lookin at me. This became an issue cuz f her friend. Ma’am asked my dad’s number.

Dec 8 – Lunch break
She shouted at me. She said all those dialogues a gal used to say when a guy proposes and threw the autograph on to my face. I dint utter a word. I saw the last page in the autograph was torn.

Dec 8 – Morning
I wrote I loved her in my own autograph on the last page and gave it to her. I told her not to look at the last page. My ultimate intention was to make her some how read the last page.

Dec 7 – Evening
He challenged me if I can tell her that I loved her, he would give me 100 rupees. I was in school then. 100 rupees was fairly a big amount for me.

Asha says to Anoop - No one in this world will ever love me the way you do!

The story begins here:
Anoop has got many friends. Asha has got many friends too. Kiran is one of her friends. Kiran already got a girl friend and Asha is aware of this. She gets possessive about it sometimes but not always.

Months passed.
Asha says to Anoop - No one in this world will ever love me the way you do!
Kiran ditched his previous girl friend. Kiran had another best friend - Veda and she was gonna get married. Kiran gets so senti and he dint wanna miss his next best friend too. So, Kiran proposes Asha. Asha was in great confusion. She wanted to accept his proposal. Asha says this to Anoop. 'Hey, isnt he of different religion?' Anoop reminds Asha. 'Yes. But it is Ok. He will marry if we want to. He is that kinda guy, you know.' Asha said. But for some reason, there was not much movement or talks about it. They fought they fought and they fought. Kiran ditched Asha and found another girl.

Years passed.
Asha says to Anoop - No one in this world will ever love me the way you do!
Anoop had no choice but to propose her. You know, this friends' love! But he dint want to miss her. That was the only way he found to keep their relationship alive for ever. 'I did think about it. But you are of different religion. My parents will never agree. So lets not talk about this topic again. OK?' said Asha. 'No one in this world will love you more than i do. i can talk to your parents if u want' Anoop said. "No. Its ok. Lets not talk about it' said Asha again.

Years passed and...today!
Asha says to Anoop - No one in this world will ever love me the way you do!

PS: Names Changed!

tHe 2-sYnDrOmE...

i saw tears rollin down from my mom's eyes, when the officer in the school said there was no vacant seats in Computer Science Dept. My mom knew tat i was so interested in Computer n i desperately wanted to learn it. tat was my first chance.
but the officer was kind enough to console my mom sayin he would definitely would give the seat if ther was any cancellation n asked me to join for Commerce n i did too. Fortunately when the skool opened, after the very first Commerce class, i was asked to go to a Computer Science division. Hmm..So this was my second chance...n the number s '2' :D

The funny thing is, my roll number was '2' over the course of my education, startin from 6th Std (i guess) to Engineerin.

Yet again, when i attended campus interview for a job, after the technical interview, the interviewer told me to leave cuz i was not selected for the time being cuz i dint perform well (for i dint answer 70% of the quests he asked :P). Hmm..i gav him a shake-hand (i dint want to, actually) n left the room. i was waitin outside for my frnds to come back when i saw the same guy came n called me, asked me to wait for the HR interview. So, its again '2'... :D

last but the most important....
i happened to see one pretty gal for a function help at my home. i served her some food. we exchanged smiles, you know. talked for a while n she left when the function was over. to be frank, i really liked her cuz she was very pretty, one of the prettiest gal in my locality... :D
Wishin her to see her again the next day (she was my neighbor), i came outa my house. i saw her standin outside the gate n we saw each other. i smiled n waved my hands. WHAT? She dint even bother. i was embarrassed so very much. i looked around to see if anyone noticed :|
Luckily no one was around... :D
On the same day, i went to the nearby temple in the evenin...i jus saw my frnds n i was talkin to them. Only then i noticed the-girl-next-door was there at the temple. i dint smile at her this time. i don like takin chances. :D Surprisingly, i saw another gal, exactly the same as the other along with her. OMG...they were twins... identical twins...my mouth dropped open...for i dint know which gal i liked... khe khe khe.... ;) that was embarrassingly-confusin situation. They were '2' in number again... :D

Eventually i proposed the gal which i liked/loved n she dint accept at first, but secondly she did indicate her consent... its again '2'

n so...my lucky number is 2.
