Vices in Society

One thinks that with education people become civilized.....and behave better with fellow humans..
No huh!!!there are some vices that need to be removed...and that can come only from everyone reminding themselves and trying to become better human beings. heres my wishlist:

1) Never hit others...in anger..esply women (heard a bad story today!!!!)
2) Do not abuse kids ( did u know 97% of all abuses occur within families..and nearly all of them go unreported..owing to parental... family..friends etc..pressure...)
3) Do not drink and drive.. remember if u are so fond of klling urself...there are a zillion ways.. u dont have to take someone else's life with you..or worse..maim them for life.. oh..sooo..not cool!!)
4) Do not give alms.. (encourages laziness...and theft!!!)
5) Do not give into to rowdy, abusive elements..stand up to them..most of them are pussies.....
6) Do not bribe!!!!!
7) and No Reservations based on Caste..etc ..ppl... the old days have gone...most of India is nearly at par....i know some ppl wont agree....but it aint fair on the really talented ones!!! i know of a couple..the husband wanted to be a dentist but was beaten to the last seat by some reservation quota woman...years later..they got married...and the wife... feels sad now!!!! belated.. and how many others do not feel it at all..that they took the easy way out...and are not deserving..how many people die..suffer owing to being treated..being helped by inadequate.incompetent ppl.....:(

brrrrr..am still angry!!!! things crop up in life..which u cant overlook and it hurts man!!!!

Owing to pressure from lotsa quarters..am writing a blog..that does not involve me!!!!!!
Scratch Scratch..hmm..we can talk about...hmmmm...ok FOOTBALL

Its an interesting year ahead for football...world cup in germany ..shuld be awesome..the final hurrah for a group of players that "this" generation (see i didnt say my) of supporters have been used to seeing..
Zizou...makelele...figo...cannavaro..philip cocu...love all these guys...went online when the final set of tickets were out to see what capability a PIGS would have ..zuck...unless u want to max out those credit cards...the cheapest ticket was some tunisia vs....god knows who...whopping $195 :(.
will watch it on www.sportingstreams.com ...$12 for 2 months.... this website is a cool one for leeches who do not want to pay exorbitant amounts to watch games but want to watch the games anyway... :)
while on footer...one must talk about the boring boring tag that is being attached to the EPL (eng. premier league)... it is fair man..chelsea win matches..boringly too ....with the talent and the money tht they have....they should provide the flair..instead they provide the stubborn defensive backbone of EPL...makes other teams ape them...leads to a boring league.. two years ago..arsenal were playing such silken football that people thought no one could catch them.. but that bubble burst..and people are now onto them for playing weak...ineffective football..hmmm.. i hope the chelsea bubble bursts too...cos in 2 years i see a new arsenal team in the making.. got all the right ingredients ..other than experience. :)
and how can one end a football post without talking about Barcelona and Brazil.... i would love to see a match between these two teams..with ronnie playing for barca....would be an absolute dream match...lets go Barca...u are keeping the interest alive for millions of football fans..with ur brand of football ....

5) made a few mad trips to NYC..and Miami...took lotsa "Patel pics" (the sort..where theres some special building or place etc..and u snap solo with it..so that u know u were there..silly but i like it)
6) oops..this had to be higher in the rankings and hence, lower down in the order....Adopted a kid (ASHA for education)...felt older...but also nicer.:)
7) Bought a handycam..and took lotsa sleazy videos :D..uploaded one at video.google.com.. type in Lord Vishnu...i promise u its good fun :)
8) Read LOTR again and again...why didnt my dad write like that?? i would have become a better, more enthu person.

12) saw the devastations...the aftermath of the Tsunami..the earthquake in Kashmir..the hurricanes closer to where i am..Florida..and the London blasts..Concluded that life is but ephemeral..enjoy it while it lasts :) iwish people were less violent though...and less fascist too.
13) as a result of the above..did a lot of vela stuff...like this silly blog...orkut..and stickcricket.. also..lotsa shopping..pigging (no..it does not mean humping a pig..it means..eating like a pig).. and who remembers where else my time was wasted..oh yeah..Muvico..saw n number of movies..
14) turned nocturnal..for the good part of the year...found that it suited me better...realized..that i was an unsocial animal...and that night life is WILLLLLLLLLD
15) supported the indian cricket team..gave them my sleep...inherited dark circles....and was happy to see an invigorated indian team..ganguly sucks though !!!

17) took bath every single day of the year...has to be the first year of my life that this has happened....yipppeeeee!!!!
18) 17 happened..cos i was not sick in the whole year..never..not even once...touch wood..now where is my kewl armchair.when i want it...
19) realized that friends..who are always there for you are a rarity..and that i am lucky enugh to have a handful of them.....u know who you are!!! i know too.. love ya guys n girl (or is it "s") hmm...lets make it girls..:)
20) saw frds getting married..and talking abt squabbles..and responsibilities...thank god..!!!! not going down that road..for atleast half-a-decade!!!
21) anils a leech...and will become big..leeching lotsa ppl on the way...:)..no one else merits a mention for special traits such as this...
22) turning bald..knackered knee...small paunch...all signs of old age..sigh..plus two of my best frds turned uncles...(they have a nephew and a niece..god bless the kids)..and whenever i talk to my frds.its abt..remember those days..all signs of senility...
23) akka and sanjeev and her remarkable marathon run and his half-marathon..to raise funds for orphaned kids in india..you are simply the best ra ...man...i wish i had ur motivation and good intentions..
24) ma..for making me what i am today..u are awesome..special..and simply superb.....:)


24= my age...had to come up with atleast 24 special remembrances...actually some of them are repetitive...more clues to the fact that i suck..

Women

Another in the weeklong series of women.....
We had an interesting discussion the other day....."what attracts you most in a woman" was the theme for discussion...After the initial rounds..where people spoke abt the yada yada usual stuff.. i will not reveal for the fear of being attacked by those feminists among you...two interesting things happened...

1) Flashback.... i remembered what anil told me once..when we were young..and selling IIT Cul-fest tickets at the beach..the same night when anil (aka piss boy) jumped off my bike cos i was out of gas (thats what i call petol now)..and took a ride with a passing auto..:))))) bastard...will never forgive you for this... .well he told me " what a V man..i love a good V" looking at a woman ...hmmmmm... took me a while.but it hit me..wht the V was.
and i found it hillarious..in hind sight..i still find it funny...and i burst out laughing in the middle of the discussion and ppl tght i was very gay to be laughing at a sensitive topic such as what we were talking..

2) one very drunk guy said...."her mom.thats what attracts me to a woman"... i was like wtf?? what do you mean by that... he went on to explain.. " dude..a woman may be pretty now..and seem all sexed and charged.and interesting. but if you want to go all the distance ( no anil..not that distance..am talking about marriage) with her..then you got to know how she'll be when shes old.." and not just looks he said.. her mom's probly what she'll turn out to be..." and everyone was like .."well said.well said"...and there was good ol' back slapping..

but..is there a link???dosen't life turn u into a much different person than your mom?? mebbe better..mebbe bitter"er".( i like my ability to rhyme).
and moms are not always ard..dont friends matter more??? dont they influence u most in your middle age..and circumstances...
u might end up looking like your mom (dad) when u grow old..but dont have to behave like that...which gets me to my question..unrelated..but interesting all the same..

If a person is known by the company he keeps... consider the situation of a good man and his one bad frd (the bad guy has just one good frd..the good guy discussed above)
"then is a good person bad cos he has one bad frd. or is the bad frd good, cos he keeps the company of one good man??????"

Just wanted to write abt the convo that I had and about the question thats been burning in my head since i was in 10th grade....does not make much relative sense...but i don't care :)..
phew...now that both are out of my head...i can calm down and work...see what happens when u live all alone in a house...it gets maddening :)

Velagiri

Have been vela....there is work to do..but since i am not able to sleep...have had more time.. and am falling in love with the whole idea of a blog...hmmm....anyway...
revisited old flames yday...saw Basic Instinct :D...
Pretty cool movie....each time i see it...i come up with a different reasoning to the movie..


"The finale of the ambiguous film arbitrarily leaves the inexplicable question of the guilt and/or innocence of the dangerous liaisons of the main characters up for grabs - did Catherine, in the ultimate mind/sex game, frame Elisabeth Garner with the murders? Or is Roxy the killer up until the time of her own death? Or did Catherine commit all of the murders herself? Or are all of them guilty in one way or another? "...

that sums up what i think in someone elses words.... :)
dont want to explain the movie...its far too old and far too classical for that...but theres one thing taht i want to talk about...

A confident woman..confident about her sexuality is portrayed as powerful and in control.. and being adored by lotsa men....esply in the famous interrogation scene...but in real life it aint that way ...any woman..that is so confident ..infact bullish..has immediately antagonized herself...esply in a working enviornment... all the males gang up..want to make sure she gets f***ed...that is REALITY!!!!

Man still has not reached a level..where he accepts a woman's leadership easily..without a whimper of a fight.. its tough to be a lady-boss in this world ...and more so...if she is sexy...

if u are a woman..and a boss..and sexy ...i toast to you...keep up the good work...and keep flaunting

The Cheer of the Holiday Season....... Revisited

After the whacko post earlier today...this is a much more solemn one. For the first time in my life, and probably undeservingly I was the central figure in someone's life.
I have two friends..a married couple..who study with me.. a quiet unassuming, twosome who are the sort that you would see in a crowd, who would smile at you..you would smile back..but then nothing..they wont demand attention..nor will they demand recollection....
I was at their place for dinner..they had invited me..for an early Christmas dinner..they told me. I was all happy...free food i thought...and was there ..a little later after the time I promised them. It was a wonderful dinner, thoughtfully cooked...bearing in mind the fact that I do not eat meat... I loved the meal...and then they prayed...well...hmmm..again nice and simple..showed me around their house..a wonderful place too.. a place that can be called "home" oh so easily...and then they did the ultimate..they thanked me for making their Christmas memorable...Hmmm..i thought it was a joke...Apparently not!!!! i had put the wife in touch with a friend of mine...who was looking for an intern..and she landed the job....i was just the medium....nothing specatacular that i did...but they were so happy...she cos she loved the job..he cos he had found a "friend.. who had helped them in need"...never have i been more embarassed by such emotional displays.. more so cos it was misplaced..they needed to thank my frd for hiring her...not me :(...
all the while i craved for the limelight..the special position in someone's life...but when it came.. i realized i am not ready for it..nor am i deserving...
a truly humbling experience indeed

May everyone in this world have a wonderful holiday season...

Xmas :)

All i want is someone ......

1) to wash my clothes...give me a bath..iron my clothes...cook and clean up..vaccum the house..and wait for me every evening..after work.
2) with huge dowry capability...and culpability
3) who is pretty..fair...good figure...
4) with no shopping interests.....should accompany me though.
5) with no social interests...other than entertaining me.
6) who knows broken english.... at most...in the least..should be able to print her name.. to converse with me when i am in the english mood.
7) with extreme singing capability....and good at sewing buttons back on. i seem to lose them daily.
8) with a good memory...should be my daily reminder...
9) who can play footer...when i want to....and pretty good at that too...

Santa please grant me my wish....
Thank you
Yours lovingly...
K.Anurag (Boy)

Santa gives me
A Robot...a female one..cos i specified my gender....he also adds that he found "her" somewhere the second time he was reading my letter trying to match specifications.....

Swiss Army Knife and X......

I finally own a Swiss Army Knife!!!!!!what does it mean to me u might ask??? the WORLD actually... why?? Am i swiss? NO.. Am I Army?? NO... and for thePJ Kings among you.. let me humour you... Am i a knife?? NO u asses!!!!!
Then why the khushi you might ask?? it gives me the comfort of having to search always for one item..and not different items each time..that is but a small advantage..the major plus is...i now own the world...I have the power to hypnotize and win over the world ..hehehehe...grin..smirk...power..absolute power.. you dont belive me??
ill give u a small example...

Deserted Parking Lot (School Campus)

Me and my Victorinox Knife... walking..after parking my "P"seud car: suddenly..a whimper.. my extra- sensitive ears hear it..and i whiz to the source of that distressed sound..neadless to say it is a cute woman..else i wouldnt go...(unlike kee...who just needs a woman)

Me: What seems to be the problem?

Woman (W): (dazzled by my good looks ....stunned.... recovers..stutters)..well my car seems to be locked..and i have forogtten my keys in the car...

Me: (thinking to myself) Women are so dumb!!! (btw...i have locked myself out 7 times and counting in 6 months...i even made a spare key..and put it in my wallet..next time i forgot the wallet inside too...hahaha)
Out Loud: Let me see what I can do..

W: thank you mr.....um..can i call u knight in shining armor?

Me: NO!!!!!!( i remember some past instance in life..will reveal it at an appropriate time).. that is for someone else..call me Rag..anurag (no no..i dont use that short form of my name for pseud value...just for the article)

Me: I know what ill do..ill wrench your window..use my stiff wire from my Swiss Army Knife and u will be saved...

W; wow..great..u are sooo smart and so dashing ..(no sarcasm..she really loves me)

Me: looking frantically..one pocket..the other...damn damn...finally...somewhere in the nook of my jacket...(imagine for a sec..taht Forida is colllllllllllllllllllllllld....romanticism works better when cold...with a fire growling too..but cant have that here huh) i find it.. (all happens really fast..another imagination..ever seen the matrix..when time freezes yet is at the same time..watever...) woman still loves my presence of mind.
Here it is...your life-saver..i exhale out...(proudly displaying my swiss army knife).

w: looks awflly difficult to use (the quintessential dumb bimbette needed to make a hit masala story)

After 2 mins..i am efficient..by now..as u can imagine..with my stiff wire..and a wedge (practise makes a man perfect u know)..i open the window...with ease..and the gleam of an arabian thief in my eyes...

W: (really thankful..eyes glistening..).how can i ever repay you??is there something i can do? i mean..anything...anything..for ur kind help..in this terribly freezing night...

Me: is there something i want?? i cant take advantage cos i am her hero( me and ethical.. good joke..but then its my story..so lets play along)..so what can i do??
I know..nows the time to tell the story abt the knight...so i tell her...do me a favor..call this number and ask the guy..."will u be my knight in shining armor..and show me around the Mississippi"

W: yes..anything..though i thought ud ask something else..u are so...whats that word... NOBLE!!!

30 secs later..dialed..ringing...

X.. hey...hello...you have reached X (with a mississippi drawl...read..farmer drawl :P)

W: repeats what i have told her..

X: (babe..asking me out...strrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkke... is my hair ok..do i smell good..breath ok?? aww shucks..shes on the phone right) Sure lady...
i am black as the night...my hair is like Medusa's..my Touch is like Midas's..but my hear is fair like Aragorn's....and i know the river like i know my body(was that cool enought...i dont know..will have to ask GK later..he thinks) i will show you around the Mississippi....on my horse....

W: (positively scared...what the hell is he talking...looks at me)..i say play on...(btw..the phone is on loudspeaker mode.its a super cool phne.....i have a cool Sony Ericson Walkman phone...and u can also hide the number when u call..for those of u looking for a flaw in the story..of course hte woman culd have used her phone too..but had to show off my phone)

X: i shall be thy knight in shining armor..and shall take u ard...town..and the woods with no fear..thy shall have thy best time of thy life...ok..where do i pick you up?? and when??

W: umm.. i live in Tampa

X: (recollects..Tampa...hmmm.who else lives in Tampa?? sheryl?? tina?? rosy?? who am i kidding..i dont know these girls...damn damn...i remember...Anurag..you !@#$%^&*()...)
(to the woman)..ok lady..thanks for offer.. but i shall take a rain check.... grrr...hang up you fiend...you...donkey .( thats as bad as hell abuse..our man...is well behaved towards women..and he hopes she falls for his chivalrous use of abuses..in spite of obviously being angry.)

W. What was that all about??

Me: another of the great mysteries in life my dear.. to much for ur lil head. go on..go home..and warm the hearth.

W: thank you again...you are weird..but weird in a delightful sense....here have my number..u will call me wont you??

ME: yes my dear...go now,..before i do something stupid...go ...go... (hindi movie style)


I have my laughs...and i open an old wound..and have a new fan thus..the legend of anurag and the swiss army knife lives on...and i keep winning over the pretty women..and the men soon follow. :)

For the uninitiated..which thanks to X's carefulness..is the whole world.other than me...this is based on a true-life incident..minus the swiss knife....:))))))))..dont worry "samm"..oops did i name you?? oh my god..sorry sooo sorry.. :)))))))

ask him for more details....well actualy...i ll give it to you..the dope chatted with me thinking i was a girl for 4 months..and wrote me exciting mails...always springing in the odd prose and poetry..and that "fictional" girl was the first to get his cell number..he was positively opposed to anyone else having it :))))))...man..i had my laughs...:))))))))),...but u are the best a blast to have ard...

and...on-offers are as good as STICKERS...in my view atleast :)

Also the swiss army knife..is a good deal..worth having ard..and the torchlight tht they give is cool too..also doubles as a candle....for those romantic moments..in the woods :)..sigh.....ask X aka.. samm for more details.

Adios amigos..ppl

sabsa acha kaun?

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where train stops. On my desk, I have a,work station...guess u smarties follow my strain of thought...


I am an optimist..i tell everyone..once the job reaches me.i finish it...
my boss is a freaking pessimist..he thinks the exact opposite..that the job stops moving ahead...
let us see why he thinks like that...

Reasons in his Favor

1) i am never in the office before 11 am.
2) i read up soccernet for an hour..and i watch footer on winamp on my laptop while at work.
3) i fart a lot with my office mates...cos theres one miss cutie2pie in the office.
4) i am the vice-president of a student body....sports coordinator..for another organization..and indulge myself in those bodies..owing to the high number of free food gatherings that are organized.

Reasons in my Favor

1) I have done all the tasks reasonably before the deadline.
2) I dont have a social life..therefore..am slogging my butt...in front of the comp even after its sunset.
3) I love doing work..am a workaholic.
4) the clincher..

Friends..

There are three kinds of friends, in my opinion:
Stickers: the kind you'll stick with a long time and still enjoy their company...of course ull have to share a lot in common or atleast have another interesting common friend in between.
On-offers: these are those..with who you'll share sparks everytime you meet them..not those sparks anil.. but, neither takes the effort to keep in touch constantly..makes for some pretty interesting convos about in-between times..
Suckers: bulliers, social obligations etc..etc: people you can do without, but who you keep bumping into owing to different circumstances...

Man being inherently weird, stickers are very difficult to find..there has to be inherent mind and wavelength matching you see...I thought I had a few stickers, but have been finding weird stuff about them recently. Not that i care, cos i am the "i don't care what u do with the rest,as long as we are having fun" types..but its still interesting...cos " man is known by his friends" and as i stick with them..there must be a reason..mebbe i am all these too and these might come out someday as my characteristics too..

1: one guy is umm well...not straight ...and is attracting guys with his culinary skills.. um...u are a guy dude...think hard..if u think the way to the guys heart is his bottomless pit.. then u haven't learnt much abt urself huh!!!! and to think of all those days in the hostel..when we crashed in the common room together...godd.i feel so vulnerable...u shuld look at his scrapbook to know who this is :D

2: Another has a mating cycle!!!!! talking about a human..yes. And he has uncontrollable urges to get at the opposite sex during these months..anywhere..everywhere...u know who i am talking abt..a certain 'italian" connection.

3: A third thrives on bettering whatever you have to say...Me: " hey, I got a job", Friend: " Good, I am happy..Btw, did i tell you about my offer?"... Dude dont make it sound like a competition...takes the fun out of friendship..sigh :(

4: A fourth..many fourths.....live in the virtual world..see..i understand the virtual world..and the ease of connecting people and places..but in my view..its to improve connections that have already been made...ok ok..i am lying on this one..but its one thing to have a nice conversation to relieve stress...but to make it the central point of one's life...umm..am not so sure :)..don't get pissed... am not being hypocritical or judgemental...just stating facts..so that i never forget them.. and stick by these rules...{i have taken the 5th amendment.. meaning the i do not have to reply to the fact that it is a singular "fourth" or plural "fouths" ..keep guessing }
5: A fifth...is ego-centric..Me on the phone :" Hey...how are you..ssup?" Friend: " Busy as shit.. bye"... Later.. Friend: " Hey...how are you?"..Me: "(thinking and saying) Busy ra".. Friend: " You know what i did today..you wont believe....yada yada yada" Me musing much later: " Do I have a value in your life my friend?" Mebbe i do..cos thats y u tell me stuff...but well....there should be some balancing in my value of time..and yours" :)...

6: and then there are some...who believe in the undeniable lure of the bucks..and all they talk abt is what can be done with that dudds (tam)..and how they need to be presentable..and give presents to this person..that distant aunt..uncle.. *yawn*... i never told it to your face...but i HATE it.... :)))..its ok sometimes people....not always

7: and then there are others who are just nice...calm..and collected...who u know will stand u in good stead in all times of diffculties...ur diametrical opposites.... who u admire..and are like admired...for being totally different people :)

8. And then there is me...the epitome of perfection....
a) short-tempered
b) hate to lose
c) narcissist...most topics tend to come back to some experience of mine...well..i think thats not too bad...but someone told me recently..that it was childish!!! childish..hmmmm...
d) childish :))
e) and a mixture of all the above...

Thanks to my "stickers" for sticking by me inspite of my larger failings...
Love ya all...i would have named..but i fear..i might forget someone..and hurt him (the "her" are so few..cannot forget them :)))) )

Calvin :)


Dedicated to mah main man.Calvin and his side- kick Hobbes.... Man ...the whole collection is just priceless...These books have put me to bed countless times...and always with a smile on my stupid face...are they for real peopl?? you bet they are.. it is an artist's wonderful interpretation of the real world....the joys..the sorrows....the pure enthusiasm..unbridled, uncontrolled...and most of all..the happy ending!!!..
when i was a kid..it didnt make sense to me as to why everything ended happy.....for a while i thought it was cos people had so much sorrow in their lives that they wanted to read joyful stuff..
i now like to think.that things are meant to end happy..gives me more peace..and something to look forward to...
the strip on the right is one of my faves....and it applies to my life...no..i dont enjoythe company of tigers..i just like to be by myself..than with others..i believe that having others makes u dependent on them eventually..and leads to hurt and confusion and contortions..my relationship status did i hear...yeah ..u know the answer :)
one of earliest memories..as a kid..was that of a new telephone in the house.. someone called for my mom..and asked they could speak with her..i said sure...and cut the phone...my mom thought that i was dumb.., and i did too ...for a long time..till i saw this :)))))..yo ma..me not all alone after all in this world.

one of the best strips..is calvin banging on a coffee table...damn..cant find it anywhere.....i did too...find it right below.





theres a couple more i love...one is his transmogrifier...and another is calvinball..though it is not as popular as his transmogrifier...calvinball remains close to me..cos i remember playing some weird games when i was young..one was playing a mix of hockey..and tennis....with a cricket bat....hmmm...thats all i remember abt it...but i remember me and a best friend of mine had loads of fun...those were the good times..hmmmm...
calvinball..also is a reflection of myself..in the fact that i am a non-conformist..other than the rules that i make myself....to those i am truthful and abide wonderfully :).... i also obey the rules of the road..have seen some wonderful friends make stupid mistakes when they drive :(
Bill Watterson is one heck of a guy...all those countless stressed faces that become de-stressed in one strip..woww..i wish i had a talent like that..but...then each has his own....mine is finding my way around most issues....other than the road...make it my way :)))).another Calvin Special.. look below :))))))

As a kid....read 10th grade...i was a skinny kid.. who had a witty (in my opinion) tongue. but no strong body to match the trouble it got me into..there were a couple of guys....ro***. grumble..grumble..who let me have it a lot :)). to those i owe this..this is what i think of you.

i hate BULLIES!!!!!! try fighting me now... i still dont have the physical prowess...blame it on the genes..but i have the guile now to temper down my witty comments...to prevent it coming down to blows :)))..with age man gets WISER..True true !!!!!!

A mans best friend is a book...if that book is a Calvin and Hobbes...then i dont even need a babe ever man :))))) and no friend either...

Disclaimer: All my dear friends..cannot do without you...the whole thing is just an artistic renidition by my brain :)
