This post is solely dedicated to one of my best friend’s who celebrates his birthday on Sunday. Well being the person that I am, total LAST MINUTE, and a little more inclined towards faultlessness, I decided not to send him a gift. Now don’t think I’m penny-pinching or even care about how much it would cost me; but I have good motive to do so:
• Firstly no courier service in Bangalore delivers anything within 24 hours to Hyderabad (Because that is where he’s presently doing his internship)
• Secondly, according to him it would be fine even if I sent him a chocolate & that the thought counts! Now let us examine this statement a little. If I send him a chocolate let’s assume his favorite one is a Mars Bar, it would cost me 30 bucks for the chocolate. Now if I sent it via Blue dart they guarantee the delivery within 48 hrs but I’d have to shell out 230 bucks for the service and that would be about 776.67% of the value of the cargo; and it is plain simple NONSENSE! Now if I used FEDEX, they’d charge me 165 bucks, cheaper but it’s still 550% of the goods value (note that the use of percentages is just because My friend is a NUMBERS MAN and loves Quants, and since this post is dedicated to him I think it’s fair enough).
• My third & the cheapest option would be to send it via the Indian “Speed” Post. Yeah right! I once remember my friend telling me this story about how she received a package via the INDIAN “SPEED” POST a month after her birthday intact (luckily) with no sign of damage or forceful opening, but, when she opened it all she found were empty chocolate wrappers. She even swore by her life that the sender wasn’t the types to play a practical joke on her. So all we could do is WONDER!!! (True story by the way).
So I decided the best gift I could give him was the gift of Being famous on MY BLOG for at least one post & putting him in the limelight!! (After all it’s the thought of me doing this special thing that counts).
Now a bit about him, Kabir AKA Kabs AKA Kabbie AKA Truck Driver (sorry Kabs I couldn’t resist, please don’t kill me) is just plain evil! OMG what did she just say???? I thought he was her best friend!!! Yea he is; but our relation is different, it’s like Maggie Chilly Tomato Sauce (Zara hatke, It’sss Different). You get my point. So if you ever see me praising him know that someone has hacked into my ID or has held a gun to my head to write anything nice about him!
But I must tell you he is one of the brightest kids in school I’ve ever seen! I mean numbers are his life and the second best thing t numbers I guess would be good food (now that he’s in Hyd he calls frequently just to tell me about some amazing place he has been to).
You see when I joined college in Hyd, Kabs joined us a month later because of his exams, and the day he came he sat right behind me in class. At first I thought, “Just another geek”; but as days passed by I got to know him better. We got better acquainted over our fights (and I don’t mean your average silly verbal ones). We fought physically (if you didn’t already know I’m quiet the fighter). But strangely instead of getting pissed since I constantly lost (he’s a little stronger than me) I didn’t resent him even though I’m highly competitive. Even when he threw mw into a puddle of muddy water he evened it out by getting me a Crackle I took it like a woMAN (and got back at him when he least expected it). Everything is fair in Enemy-ship & War.
It’s been a great year of knowing, combating & understanding him. He’s been there when I needed someone the most & has been supportive of my craziest decisions. Stood by me like a friend, guide & family member when I couldn’t express myself to anyone else. It’s been a great passage and I look forward to a lifetime of friendship. He even keeps in touch with me constantly. Whoever said, ‘Gals & guys can’t be JUST friends’ have yet to meet us. (Warning: For this paragraph a revolver was held at my head)
So Kabs I hope you like my very cheap but highly creative gift! Cheers to you and your birthday. Have a wonderful day without me. Miss me though if you’re going out and partying!!!
P.S: You owe me a BIG treat!! And don’t worry you will be famous here on my blog many people read it
P.P.S: I completely forgot I had written a few lines about you:
You have always been cheerful & gay (happy),
Your Birthday is one month before May (Fools Month),
One day ill win in a physical fight and then on the ground you will lay (It’ll be soon)
Enough of the Bakwaas, For all I mean to say
is Kutte....Kameene....Happy Bday.

This is what happens when you use too much thesaurus. Just read the original draft of the letter & think the next time you use thesaurus you will think twice :) have a nice day
Dear Readers,
It has been long since I have posted something and I want to apologize for it. It’s not that I have been busy of anything but I have just been a little lazy. The source of my inspiration had become damp thanks to the Bangalore rains and all I wanted to do was to cuddle up under a blanket and sip a cup of hot chocolate. I miss my friends. I miss my home. I miss my hostel. I miss being hyper and ecstatic for the silliest of the reasons. I guess life keeps getting more complicated by the day. I have been doing a lot of other creative stuff like nail art and drawing. I watched a lot of movies, unfortunately none of them were new. My family was visiting last week, and I was sad when they left. But I got a call from my dad that they would be back at the end of the month. Good for me! Lately not much excites me except for the romance novels that I read in PDF format all day long in my office. I tried my hand a the new game that Facebook launched called Treasure Isle, but it kept getting hung. Then I realized that the laptop neede to be configured but that could not be done since it is on administrator settings. I met up with a friend of mine who is getting married soon and it was lovely to see her happy finally. I met my aunt and cousin who pulled up a dirty prank on me, which was more painful to my pocket than to my heart (it cost me 100 bucks). My college friend is leaving back to UK tomorrow and I hope to meet all my friends for dinner. That’s it from my side now. Until next post.
With loads of love

BLogging Hypocrisy
This is how the tête-à-tête went on with a friend of mine who I met up with last week.
A: Eh, I heard you write a blog. Why do you write it man?
ME: …aaa...Because I LOVE to WRITE!! You should read it sometime…
A: You think your some celebrity or what??? Writing blogs and all!!!
ME: I plan to publish a novel one day. So I think a blog is a good way to gain some experience!! (HUMPH...)
A: ROFLMAO(Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off)… Hahaha!!!
ME:..AAAAARRRGGGGGHhhh….You think it’s funny? Try writing one...
A: You think I’m jobless?
ME: You lack dedication. Writing a blog is a commitment for life. You have to post stuff frequently on it!
A: Oh really? So where was this commitment of yours when you discontinued writing this blog between 2008 and 2009 for NINE MONTHS?
ME: if you have to know! I was errrr….busy with CAT coaching and MBA entrance exams!! So that can be excused! Also writing a blog is an art!
A: Yea more like modern ART. It’s a lot of prattle which makes no sense. All you do is talk about humdrum stuff you do daily, use the thesaurus, pimp it up and post it on!
ME: Excuse me! Life is an inspiration and I happen to have a very electrifying one!
A: Yeah, like I said it’s more like the hi-fi version of your personal diary, rickshaws, office, the people you hate, idioms, some weird ghost stories!
ME: WTH, my work is an emotional voyage!
A: For you it is… All you do is talk nineteen to the dozen about something exasperating that happened to you. There’s nothing emotional about it! It’s called lack of patience!
ME: I write for my readers!
A: What readers? I haven’t even seen your reader base go beyond 10.
ME: $##$#@@....**&*&^$#$#$ …….It shows that I can balance my passion and work. Even though I’m doing my internship I write this blog!
A: If I’m not incorrect did you not write in one of your posts that you were bored at work and you have all the time at the office to write this blog??
ME:..&%&$##@>>>>>>(((*)*^&&%#$##!!@!#@!##@#$%$#$#@@#$%^^&^&***^........ I GIVE UP!!! You win! Don’t read my blog don't read at all,….I can’t convince you!
A: hahaha…..give it up!!! NO ONE WILL READ YOU BLOG!!!
ME: But why should I? Just because you don't read it doesn't mean others wont..
A: Dream on!!
ME: Whatever...
A: BTW will you post this arguement on your blog?
ME: Why? Does it matter?
A: No.
After the coffee I left for home and decided it would be best if I just cool down. How dare I be insulted like that! So what if no one reads my Blog....... *ping ping ping*...................
...Wait a minute! If A didn't read my blog then how on earth did he know so much about it?

TICK....TOCK......TICK>>>>>TOCK....
It’s simple. I have just about 15 minutes more to squander away in the office. I just submitted a report that was not due today. For some time now life in my “WORK ENVIRONMENT” has become mundane, and I’m counting my days till I get to go back to college. Dam internships!!!
Now I have about 12 more minutes to fritter away…..what I did in the past 3 were:
• Scratch my head.
• Start writing this post.
• Edit this post
• And finally scrap the whole thing and start afresh.
The countdown is painfully sluggish!!!
Still 11 minutes to go and as I’m hastening to write this post since I don’t want to discontinue now, I’m also trying to download a software from giveawayoftheday.com; eves dropping on a conversation, checking the spelling of eves dropping. Dam it!!! I still got it wrong. It's "eavesdop", anyway I keep looking out to see if my boss is watching me, correcting my typo’s and thinking if I should get a subway sandwich or just eat junk. This choice is crucial because I’m trying to go on a diet (after being told by 5 people that I have put on weight; on my last visit to Mangalore). I decide that I’ll decide on the way down.
10 MORE minutes to go; I might as well walk out of the office, but I don’t want my boss to see me leave before my colleague who should have left by now, since he usually leaves at 6 sharp. I look the clock on my desktop. 8 more minutes to go!
Ok. Now I’m just aggravated and I’m writing jus so that this post is as prolonged as the other ones on my blog.
8 minutes 28 seconds to go…..time has officially frozen in my office!!! Aaaaagaggghhhhhhh!!!! Get me out of here…WHHY GWAD WWWHHHYY??? Why WHY me????
Great!!! There’s a power cut. But even the backup sets up in 3 seconds. 7 minutes to go.
My boss decides to go for his coffee. He takes my colleague along
I go home with 6 minutes to spare till the end of my actual day.
