My B'Day BLAST........ummmm.....Maybe not Really a "BLAST".....but then MY B'Day!!!!!!

Finally.....
Here i go again. Of the number of times I really thought I ll write n write and write, everytime i fell short of just doing IT!

So, here I am, on the day next of my Birthday( dats 6th of may for all of you who dont know!!!) writing a blog about the birthday....no....I mean...about THE BIRTHDAY!!!

Damn, I reached home on the 5th night at 11:45, anticipating what is going to be in store for me?!?!
I of course knew that my friends are going to drop in! So I waitied until the crowds started! I expected around 20 total number of people to come in, including all of my groups!!

But even before my b'day could really start off, I had a huge fight, with my dad!! Nothing's thats new in that, but then come on, thats valid. It goes down into the history books as the 'Last fight of my Teens'!!

I was just hoping that this would somehow end. And lo!! I get a call, from Solo!! She was actually awake and she actually gave me a call! lolz, that came as a big, BIG surprise! I was talking to her and goin on and on about life afor a full 5 minutes when finally i had 2 tell her to hang up!!

I was getting a second line! And guess who it was...MOHIT!!!
Of all the people whom i expected to NOT call up on my b'day to wish me was him!!! And here I am, getting his call at sharp 12, damn..this is real news man. Nevertheless, I take his call. The first thing he asks me...are you busy on the second line? And I am like NO. And then the bomb...he tells me 'Pakk raha hain yaaaaaaarrrrr!!!' (getting damn bugged maaaaatttteeee!!!) in his typical style, and I am like OK, so what am i supposed to do??? That too today??
And then he goes on lets play on the PC and shit, and thats all I could really take. I just ask him to go and die somewhere! And hahaha, here he presumes I am telling it to someone else!! Eventually he realises I am telling that to him, and he's like "WHY"?? Why?? What Why?? I give in and tell him, "Dude, wish me man, its my bday today!!" And now that he knows it, he finally wishes me on the day and hangs up.
But yeah, 1 thing for sure. HE LIVED UPTO MY EXPECTATIONS!!!
HE CAN NEVER EVER REMEMBER BIRTHDAYS!!

Nevertheless, then started the flow of people. My BMM friends dropped in! WOW WOW WOW, I just love them!! The came, and the came in torrents. damn, the flow was endless, 1 people were already in! They bought out the cake, I cut it, and the usual 'Colour-the-face-with-cake' ceremony was done. I went and washed my face, and it was redone. and again i washed it off, and again redone. Damn!! I washed my face a good SEVEN times in all. And ofcourse, my hain a good THREE times!!

And just when I thought the crowds had ended, again the bell rang. Again a full-fledged 15 people dropped in!! All form the college gang! I was simply amazed at the number of people coming in! SHIT!! This is HALF OF MY CLASS!! They all were there for me, and to wish me!

I love them all, and really really miss them all!!!

Nevertheless, then came in the remaining of my college friends and we had a BLAST!

Also came in my society-cum-school group. Poor things, they were just shrouded by the college group. The ratio was 4:30!! Then too they did sit for sometime. But eventually decided to go!! I am sorry people, but just couldnt help it!!

And yes, throughout this, the calls were just coming in! They were constantly on throughout the night!! At all odd hours!!

We had a gala time!! Laughed and laughed and laughed. Not to forget the small-but-sweet movie which was given to me!! (Thanks Debo and Vivek for it!!) Had it been even a minute longer and I would have cried...out of missing them all!!

Just a special mention here about Sahiba too. Inspite of her cousins et al, she came down to meet me. Just because it was my BDay!! She left in 15 minutes, but then that is absolutely appreciated!!!

We all eventually left for breakfast at 7 in the morning! And these people left at 8. I finally reached home, hoping to catch a few winks. But what you hope seldom, if ever, happens!

I left with my parents almost immediately, at 9, for my uncles place. The 1 hour break was spent in getting ready for it. I reached there and had a gala time there too. Afterall, it was the house of MARRIAGE!!

I have always wanted to be there someday!
I enjoyed frreakily there too!!

I left from there at around 7, and immediately went to Ghatkopar. It was Kitty's marriage there! Damn, dead tired and shabby, I had to attend there, I had just no other choice!!

I attended the wedding. The food was amazing!! Kitty looked gorgeuos!!! Left from there at around 10:30 or so and reached home at around 11:30.

Again, Aditya calls up!! "Meet us!", he says. I agree, as if I had an option. I go online chat for some relief, chat thre. Eventually I realise that I have no keys of my place, and I call off the day after informaing my 'unavailability' to Aditya!

I still have the tamina somehow. After not sleeping for almost 53 hours straight, i somehow manage to be up and give ,mohit a call. We chat for sometime and play so9me games and finally I sign off for the night.

WHAT A BIRTHDAY!!
WHAT A HECTIC BIRTHDAY!!

BUT LOVED EVERY MOMENT OF IT!

ITZ LIKE I ALMOST LIVED MY ENTIRE LIFE IN ONE DAY!!
EVERYTHING I DID, EVERYTHING!!

LOVE ALL OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO MADE THIS DAY A GREAT ONE!!!!

"GUJJU-tisation" of a PHOREN dish!!!

It seems wierd. I mean how many times have you actually eaten a Mexican dish, or an Italian dish or any other Intercontinental dish for that matter; without actually it having the original taste.

If any of those countrymen to whom the this originally belonged ever come down and tasted the dishes made here, they would surely commit suicide or to the least give up cooking themselves!

The pioneers of this trend in cooking have to be the "GUJARATI's". Any goddamn dish of the world and they have an Indianised version of it! Or rather to be more specific, a GUJJU-cised version of it. All complete with masaledar and chatpata khazana by the spoonfuls!

And this I am not writing all of a sudden out of the blue. I myself experience the beauty of the GUJJU-cisation in all its glory, myself being a gujju! Today itself I had the all-famous mexican dish - TACOS - at my place for dinner. And guess what, it was all in GUJJU glory. The supposed Kidney Beans in it were all made wid onion et al, as if it was the normal chana that we consume at the thelawallah. I pitied the fate of the TACOS!

All that i wished at that moment was - when will i ever eat a decent plate of 'original' Tacos? I had hoped to have atleast something that i can relate to its originality. All I can say is that not even the supposed 'puri' was not original. It was a mixture of the 'sukha puri' , and the likes.

I am just waiting for the day when I can actually have a taste of the original at my place. Until then i presume i have to survive with the "GUJJU-tisation" of a PHOREN dish!!!

nonetheless...."MTv"...!!!

well...i wanna write today also and make it a regular practice! But then now i think what am i possibly gonna write on everyday???

yaaaa!!!! I no what I can write on!

Today guys from MTv came at my college. It was for a shoot of the new 'revamped' version of "MTv Kya Baat Hain"! They needed good speakers to speak out there on the dias.

and when it comes to good speakers...what better place to look for than in the TYBMM batch of our college?

So here we were, some 10 of us. 8 of whom were from my class and two from the FY!

There comes the Big and Burly, Cyrus Broacha!! Of the 10, 3 of us get lapel (dats a hidden mike for all you dumbasses out there!) and theres one rotating mike for the rest 7. This clearly means that the three get to speak the most!! And ofcourse, I was one amongst the three!!

**PHEW** It saved me from a lotta "Gimme the mike" stuff!!

Well, so heres Cyrus, who has apparently borrowed Nikhil Chinnappa's body for the show. He comes and tells us the topic, "Discrimination". It includes all types of discrimination set upon the people by the Indian society. Caste, Class, Gender and all that blah!

He puts forth the Shilpa Shetty discrimination Issue and comes down to discrimination in India. I, ofcourse take the start with me being counteracted by Esha V! (God Save me!).

The discussion goes on for a good 15 minutes or so. there are all our friends constantly watching us. There are two cameras constantly on the watch for speak-and-i-shoot-you shit. And to add to it theres Cyrus's humour!

Ah! You cant expect a better mixture!

There are a lot of points and counter-points. We go on like untamed wolves, with Cyrus of course trying damn hard to save the race!!

He eventually manages to do that and finally ends the discussion with a general 'non-conclusive' statement! What a masquarade it was! But worth all the fun!

We do the usual click a photo stuff with Cyrus. He leaves. Hopefully he 'll return Nikhils body!

And here we are...again out there to eat up half the world!!!

writing wid " H O P E " . . . ! ! !

lol...here I go again!! I just had completed ariting a blog and was going to publish it. I tried to format it. and then....
