He left. Time was running out. There’s a world to save and he knew it. So did she. And like everything he ever did it was met with the same gusto,” Bring it on.”
To which she retorted,”Drama much?”.
Somethings never change.
Now Listening To: Halo – Theme Track
April had its moments of madness. More so than any other month. Yet. Pardon the lack of an update. Life is busy, distractive and even fun. All at the same time. Nevertheless here we go:
1. Lolcat exhibitions are awesome. Even more so when followed up by a few beers at the local watering hole, Ambience. Pity that the girls weren’t too keen about stepping into Croma. Fun times.
2. Tavern is an interesting place with interesting people and we live in interesting times. Yeah.
3. Sundance is an even more interesting place provided you have the right people. Namely Raddy and Chetan.
4. Woodside Inn isn’t so interesting. Mainly because their pesto is sweet.
5. Fake IPL Player’s blog was awesome. It’s a good thing he didn’t reveal himself. i’m waiting for the book to come out with the truth. Or the full length motion picture.
6. Exes are exes for a reason.
7. Voting is overrated the only reason people have to do so is because it allows them to show their middle finger on TV and not be censored for it.
8. Conference calls come in two varieties. One described here. And another which is akin to going to a party that’s got the makings of something great what with the dim lighting, loads of alcohol and hot women. Until you start chatting one of them up, things start getting hot and heavy and then you realize she has a mustache. Conference calls. The bane of humanity. At least for this month.
9. Attention!
10. Garden State and Akira are great movies. Until you decide to watch them back to back. And then it all goes to heck because you’re muddled with visions that cross two people kissing with mass amputations, tumours and implosions.
11. Train rides are unboring when they include you being privy to a conversation revolving around break ups, fetishes, vengeance and drama.
12. XKCD
13. Pranks, Sundance and Old friends.
15. New Year’s Eve-ish thoughts. Yes Chetan, i missed out Lonvala. My bad totally. Very rare are nights made so epic with just half a litre of whisky and enough conversation to light up the entire continent of Africa. Believe.
17. ”In the real world things are very different. You just need to look around you. Nobody wants to die that way. People die of disease and accident. Death comes suddenly and there is no notion of good or bad. It leaves, not a dramatic feeling but great emptiness. When you lose someone you loved very much you feel this big empty space and think, ‘If I had known this was coming I would have done things differently.”
18. No that post wasn’t for you, you or you.
Now Listening To: The Killers – Exitlude
It takes a week full of drama to realize that you’re bulletproof.
Now Listening To: Linkin Park – Bleed It Out
You’re about to go to bed. The lights are out, you’re under the blanket and just about to close your eyes, awaiting entry into dream land. Life is good. Until you hear the creaking of your door.
A gargantuan figure walks in. Laptop in tow, conjuring the choicest scowls and abuse. Throw some fretting and frumping into the mix. Picture all possible entry into dream land denied. In the worst way possible. Along with some ranting about “internet” and “wi-fi”.
Five minutes and one simple fix later.
The gargantuan one finds you in her lair. Internet worthy laptop in tow. However the timing is all wrong. You just walked into a conversation between the mother of the gargantuan one and her. They were having a discussion that involved extremely talk-able topics like marriage, people, society and all that drama which apparently required your input. It wasn’t a conversation you were roped into, it was a crossfire.
Needless to say you never got to dream land. Or to sleep much. Which would explain why you’re here blogging about this. Crankily.
Now Listening To: Switchfoot – Awakening
i know this is late. Unfortuntately or not, depending how you look at it and who you are, i’ve been busy with real life. Yes it apparently exists. April’s up next. Soon i hope.
Anyway enough about me rambling about now. Read me ramble about before…
1. Went to Ambience twice in two nights. Tons of fun. Even more when you’ve friends who find salvation in mixing everyone’s drink to be a potent combination of whiskey, soda and Thums Up.
2. So a certain game was launched. And for once i was happy i didn’t have anything to do with it.
3. My sister’s exams started. Thankfully they only lasted close to a month. She hijacked my room like a schizophrenic terrorist demanding that the voices in her head to shut up. Epic madness and the other reason for the blog post delay.
4. Rohit got into MICA! Prolly the most awesome-sauce piece of news all month. Congrats bro, you deserve it. And thus comes to an end, an era of stumbling, drunken walks home. You will be missed.
5. Aashruti’s farewell was hilarious what with the Junkmeister taking centre stage rambling about music that makes him puke, weird band names and of course the legendary blazowned.
Junk: Dude this holi I got blazowned.
Rishi: Really? What’s that.
Junk: That’s all you gotta know. Blazowned.
Rishi: …
6. 20th March 2009:
Oh and lemon ice tea for breakfast, cold coffee and eye-candy at a meeting, lemon juice for lunch, ice tea for dinner, hazel nut frappe with ice cream for dessert and a pepper mint ice tea for afters.
So why am i awake again?
7. My aunt aka Sunshine finally left for Spain, ’twas too short a time. Even more so since it was without the cousins (3 of them) and the uncle. Guess the cousins are still shattered over their last trip in 2004 where one of them, at least, was sobbing because of the abject poverty she was made privy to (“I saw slums.” , said she drowning amidst her own tears). Sensitive first world country kids i tell you.
8. Chetan, if you message me about creepy people on planes at 6 in the AM i’m fine. It’s just everyone else might just want to kick your ass, from here to Antartica because they don’t switch off their phones at all.
9. Overheard at a hotel:
“So i was on Facebook. And XYZ’s albums had pictures of me in a compromising position with someone else.”
“Oh. That sucks. What happened next?”
“I got ABC to speak to XYZ and ask her to remove those pics. But she got rude, removed ABC and me from her friends list and said that those pics were there for almost 6 months already.”
“Okay. Then what?”
“Nothing at all. ABC and i are planning to cancel XYZ’s residence card.”
People. Scarier, sensitive and more evil than you think. Even more so when it concerns FaceBook drama. Believe.
10. Finally changed my job status on Facebook. From nothing i’m now the frontman for Varun and the Plectrums. Which is pretty sweet considering we played three songs (3 Doors Down’s Kryptonite, Staind’s So Far Away and Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters) all of which got brutally massacred as i tried to fit in the epic saga of Varun trying to find his holy plectrums in a land strewn with eunuchs, traffic jams and more eunuchs. Fun times.
11. The Watchmen was awesome. Sure it was a complete copy-paste job of the comic but it was worth it. Kudos to the censor board for minimum blurrage.
Yeah that should more or less sum up the month that was. Two months back.
