(Suitable title here)

It has been raining on and off for about a fortnight now. Which is good, because I like the rain. There are few things in life more blissful than walking in the rain. Especially when the rain one walks in is like the rain these days. The rain these days is nice. It's the kind of rain that doesn't drench you within 10 seconds of stepping out, and doesn't hurt your eyes when you look up to catch a glimpse of the cloudy, yet amazingly blue sky.

The point I am trying to make is that I am talking funny, am extremely tired, and desperately need to get some sleep.

And just so you know, Bewitched is a pathetic movie, but Nicole Kidman has never looked prettier.

Good Night.

I can tell you what's even more amazing than walking in a rain like this..walking alone, slow and thoughtful, with urself, in a raiin like this, with an icecream in ur hand. i did this during rendezvous once, and trust me, it's bliss!

You're probably talking about the rain during Rendezvous, which is my last recollection of rain here. Anyway, for I know you do not know, the rain did get heavy enough to drench you in ten seconds and it did hurt when I looked above, and you know what, even the sky wasn't amazingly blue. It was amazingly black as far as I know. Since it was night, about one. And I was out because I wasn't inside. Inside Blitzkrieg prelims. Where you were. Missing this rain. I was outside in this rain (which was not nice), missing the prelims.

Man this sucks.

Prad, don't worry. The name shall, eventually, change to something more suitable. Eventually.

Phoenix, I'd post more often, if only I wouldn't be so witlessly sleepy all the time.

Far over the misty mountains cold,
To dungeons deep and caverms old,
We must away ere break of day,
To seek the pale enchanted gold.

A Fellow Ringer! Always a nice thing to find on the net.

Well, dear friend, thoroughly enjoyed reading your blogs, especially an old one on Cranium. Brought back memories - Its been over 4 years since I organized the one in 2001, in the elite company of Sujith and Saikat.

Keep up the good work! Cheers

KMIAB, the pleasure one feels at finding a fellow SouthPark-enthusiast on the net is a wholly wonderful and remarkable feeling, surpassed only by the pleasure one feels at finding out that the SouthPark-enthusiast in question is a former IITian who likes one's blog. Misery, as someone very wisely once said, loves company.

Keep visiting.

Tagged!

That's what I've been. Tagged. Tagged by the Evil Multi-Colored Monster. I've been told that people who don't respect such tags develop knobby knees and die young. I don't really have a problem with dying young, but I don't think I'll be able to stand the knobby knees. I am, therefore, going to play by the rules, and obediently answer the following set of meaningless questions, before dumping them on some other poor, unsuspecting and hapless soul.

Five things I will look for in my Fiancée:
1. Must be able to sustain conversation. I hate nothing more than uncomfortable pauses.
2. Money. I'm not going to be able to make much on my own. So I guess I'll have to settle for a rich fiancée.
3. Breasts. Breasts, breasts, breasts (I tend to repeat that word a lot. Kinda like the way it sounds). Yep, gotta have those. And legs. Long, long shapely legs. And a nice, perfectly-sized nose. Nothing beats a nice nose.
4. Glasses. Call me weird, but I find hot girls who wear specs very attractive.
5. Hair. Long, soft hair really works for me.

Five things I like to eat:
1. Other people's food.
2. Kismi Toffee Bar.
3. Mango Bite. Parle Mango Bite.
4. Sandwiches with Peanut Butter (Crunchy) inside.
5. Paapads. I love Paapads.

Five Goals of Life:
1. Procreating.
2. Acquiring the ability to talk less and listen more.
3. Learning to remain as calm as possible. (Serenity Now. Serenity Now.)
4. Killing Chawla (I shall use a compass).
5. Being able to live a life free from the menace of evil tags.

Five things I say a lot:
1. "Ohh!!!" - My way of greeting people. Anything longer is too elaborate.
2. "You're breaking my balls, dude. Breaking my balls." - My way of telling people they're breaking my balls.
3. "Go stick your head in a pig." - My way of telling people to go stick their heads in a pig.
4. "Screw you guys, I'm going home." - I'm an attachee. This line, as a result, works.
5. "Haaha!" - Usually goes well with pointing. Regular watchers of 'The Simpsons' would, I am sure, concur.

Now comes the good part. The passing of the tag. I choose to pass it on to Aseem, Saurabh, and Saira. If you don't answer the stupid questions, you shall develop knobby knees and die young.

And I think I forgot to mention that your hair might fall off.

Kismi Toffee Bar rocks so much even its wrapper kicks ass.

8:26 pm, September 14, 2005  
Blogger Manu Saxena said...

Totally. KTB also has one of the most peelable wrappers ever. And when you're trying to hastily unwrap something as tempting as a Kismi Toffee Bar, your tongue hanging loose and drool flowing freely, extra wrapper peelability counts.

8:45 pm, September 14, 2005  
Blogger Kaala Kavva said...

@anjul + manu
i totally agree with both of you
but the only problem is that kismi bar is infinitesimaly small and i have to eat 10-20 to make some effect..

@Manu
wow what an amazingly evil post.. really wonderful.. (wonder-fool to be more precise)

knobby knees + die young is alright but another concequence would be that thick purple hair starts growing out of your nostrils and you DONT lose hair!
Bhool gaya kya ?? i told u all this....

(and if you're thinking that something like this (eg.purple hair) has ever happened to me, you're kindly mistaken)

Its not often that i read ur blog.
Procreating seems to be top priority, i agree that things which seem impossible have to be thought upon early.
but in your case i feel you should quickly move to goal no.2. i will tell u the reason for your skinny appearence(ugh...) as well
it being other peoples food(along with their curses for making them starve) and KIsmi Bar would never really give u a healthy body and mind(bou do you need that)

i hope all is taken in the wrong spirit

Blogger Manu Saxena said...

Thank you, Mani, for thinking this to be a nice post. Be proud, for it was written all because of you. I wish you'd told me about the purple hair earlier though.

Phoenix, I shall, as of now, be calling him the Evil Monster with an Identity-Crisis (EMic). As for the Mango Bite, Parle Mango Bite, I would like that very much.

Ayush, I do believe this is the first time you have commented on my blog. It's wonderful to hear from you.
As far as procreation is concerned, you must realize that not everyone faces the same problems as you do in this department. With you, it must be really awful, what with all the fat getting in the way. I can totally sympathize. Now do you see how a 'skinny appearance' works to my advantage?
And if you're trying to be funny, I suggest you ask Mani for lessons. As of now, you don't seem to be pulling it off too well.
Keep commenting. It's always a pleasure having you around.

Saira, you're welcome.

EMic again, you're breaking my balls, dude. Breaking my balls.

Shalabh, as far as the breasts are concerned, I'd have to say, "The more, the better." However, somehow I get the feeling I shall have to settle for two.

The word-verification is to prevent comment-spam. I was getting a lot of it.

Let's get some things straight.

1. At IITD, there exists no such thing as a good minor.
2. EEL 102 lab is the most arbit and fraudy lab ever devised, and the lab-assistants are too busy fighting amongst themselves to pay any attention to us.
3. The maximum grade one can hope to achieve on MEP 201 this semester is an F.
4. One must never venture within arm's length of Solid Mechanics professors.
5. IIT DOES NOT ROX.
6. Points are fun to write in.
7. All girls are weird, psycho-bitches. The hot ones, more so.
8. The guy manning the Nescafé counter at IITD is an ass, but a very entertaining ass with very poor taste in women.
9. Nothing beats pointing and laughing, Nelson style.
10. Kazimi is a very confused man.
11. I think I shall sleep now.

What the...

I took 40 minutes to reach home today. 40 minutes. I drove for 40 minutes in heavy traffic and the blistering heat. I took 40 minutes to travel a distance of 2.5 kilometres, and never once did I manage to get to the 3rd gear. And as if that wasn't unpleasant enough, I was surrounded throughout by Dhoom-enabled motorcycles and cars playing, "Aririrarara, aririrararu, aririrararo, aririrarari, Jaast Loveme. Jaaast Loveme."
I reached home, and I switched on the telly, and what did I see? 'King of Queens'. Not 'That 70's Show'. 'King of Queens'. A show about a fat man in brown shorts. Just what a guy needs after a long day.

And life, in the meantime, continues to get worse.

Rishi, Dhoom-enabled is a well known phrase used commonly in everyday language.
Still, if it makes you feel better, I shall declare here that I came across it during one of our not-so-recent conversations.

And as far as differentiating between gears is concerned, you must remember that I did not, at any point of time in the past, take driving lessons from Satija. I, therefore, do not face the same problems as you do.

That said, it's good to see you back on this blog. Keep commenting.
