"All men are pigs and .........."

"All men are bastards"........

How do you expect me to react to this ? Go off the tangent or try to pacify her to a less violent generalization or say "thank u very much, get well soon" and move on ?

Generalizing a sex of an adjective never works when you want to get to relationship. And to me its always has been a bottomline that to be in a relationship, you got to move past the past...

Its impossible to be with someone who thinks that all men are pigs or all women are bitches....Its always a case to case basis.

I very well said the girl "thank u very much, lets end this right here"....She wore a shocked look on her huge Ravanseque face and paled out....Its so tough to deal with fake people and tantrums like this ?

Yes few men could be pigs the way they deal with people or a relationship. Some of them might not have the guts to face the truth or even stand up for themselves. And same is true for women too. Few can be snooty, few can be wamps as good as Whoopi Goldberg or as insane as this girl....

But branding entire breed bad is ridiculous, insane and fucking shit.......

Whatdya think about this ? Man, relationships today are very tough to sustain and get into. And even moreso for guy like me. But it would be fun to be in a relationship with a wonderful girl...At this stage of life its more than a privilege for me.....

Night out at Level 3....

Diwali ends today and so did the business end of the holidays for me. 3 more days and then I am back again to work. In all probability this could be my last trip to my home town for long time to come. Reason being a long onsite travel beckons. Anyways there is never enough of this wonderful city. A city which loves to rock even in the night....Wow. Where else can you find people flocking to eat Poha Jalebi in the night at 12 AM ....Only here......

I have been very thoughtful and intense in last 3 days. Dunno but the thoughts have been very radical and intense. And boy owing to the festivities and social dos, i cant even jot down the thots in a blog or a notebook :)

Today it was a night out with my family....And the culprits were me, my cousin R, his bro C with his fiancee S and my nephew and niece. And the occasion was to watch the movie after long time together. I booked the tickets through Bookmyshow in Mangal Adlabs (name sounds weird) for 945 PM show. We had a plan to hit the Geofrey's pub in the grand mall of TI, but we couldnt as we started late...No no today no kid trouble or married ppl tantrums...

We hit the Level 3 pub in Mangal Mall itself at 845 PM and 4 of us (excluding the love birds) chilled off to booze and sheesha. I am naive in sheesha, so dint bother much about it. I had my usual chicken starters and Long Island Ice Tea. Full on booze, i was at my vocal best. And then we repeated Carrona pitcher with lime and had a bottoms up. My pledge to be a tee-totler in my home town was down in dust bin. But the entire night and some snacks in the theater could give me enuf cover time to recover from bad breath early next morning.....

My cousin's fiancee felt out of place in the pub. Level 3. This was my 2nd visit to a pub in less than 5 days. Anyways back to the fiancee thingy, the lady thought she was amongst the drunkards. Her beau was well behaved as usual. I didnt bother to make her at ease, cos i m very bad in doing that. So i chit chatted with my niece who feels I am the most coolest "mama" around....

Entire movie she didnt utter a word...I thought may be they had a fight. But i had no courage to ask and i left upto them to sort it out. I dont want to act mediator :). I was high. Movie sucked. But Priyanka Chopra rocked. She looked damn hot and sexy. Oh boy for a moment i had a crush on her....She is now # 2 in my list behind Kareena Kapoor and Amrita Rao....Wow. I am sharing a foolish stuff out here.. Drinking and watching a movie in my home town was unimaginable for me. I am waiting for Dostana to release....

Reached home back at 1 AM in the morning and immediately turned to desktop for blogging. Guys, i have been unable to read / comment on ur blogs and reply to the comments. Diwali time and its pretty understandable that the festivities would keep me busy besides irritating stints with animals and insects. Tuesday had a fight with a stubborn yuckie dog who sneaked in and sat below the car scared of the crackers. It left the next morning and i was relieved. I had hit him, threw water and what not. I hate dogs....Wednesday morning we had no power thanks to the faulty motor in the well (kuan)....Kept calling to MPEB, but they didnt bother. The meter box had a beehive in it. I broke it armed fully with jacket, helmet and jeans. Killed nearly 100 bees without getting bitten :)

Adventures never cease with me. Spent most of the day watching Test match at Kotla...Right now I am writing this post at 1:50 AM in the night....I have been born, brought up and had my entire education in this city Joie :). A pukka XXXori :))..Yeah...Bhiya (very typical word used here :P)...

Dont i sound cheerful ?

People change with time........

Warning : A long post below....

With times people change, the relationships with them change and it doesnt matter if they are your best of friends of college days which are supposed to be life long. Yes they are still friends, but then the intensity is missing, the zeal is missing. Time and your life changes everything, the mode of life you live -- be it a very active social life or a reclusive life where you are happy being yourself or somebody who mixes with people, but actually is just trying to fill in the gap.....

I experienced the same thing in last 2 days when I met my old college friends and this was a get together supposed to happen in October 1st week (a post on old blog) in Hyderabad, but instead it happened in our home town. I am the least qualified of the 4 friends. I am a BE, my 2 other friends are MTechs from IITs and one of the other friend is a PhD from UDel, USA. 2 of them work with Microsoft, Hyderabad, the PhD dude works with a R&D firm and I work with XXX (you know it).

Conversation topics raged from the kids, the school fees, how tough it is to grow up a kid with the expenses today and stuff like that. Now I am not into kids business. For that sake I am not even married. I dont hve any idea of how to raise a kid and so no idea of how much donation a school charges for a nursery kid. I know of my 3 yr old nephew who is a geek and is a genius. Playing with him when he was in India was fun. He is the only kid who gells well with me. He came to me naturally, he played and giggled with me. Pottied and peed on me couple of times.... I love that kid....

I felt outsider in the group of 5 -- we 4 and wife of one of the friend say A who has also a kid. He was a sort of guy who was a shy and very laidback. He had a love marriage. He had the guts to walk up to the girl he had a crush on and propose her straight away. GOD can you believe it they dint even talk for 10 mins in entire college life. Girl accepted in 1st go and they were happily married.....Myself and A were project partners in labs and assignments. So naturally we were close friends too. In final year, we broke up our project partnership and I couldnt recover out of that shock and snub. Our relations were neevr the same again....

Now rest of the guys gigled, made fun, had a good time. I was quite laidback and unsure of what was happening. I am the sort of guy who would take all the initiatives in the world to keep the bond alive and today 's dinner out in Sayaji - city's finest hotel was my idea. This days i have become a kind of person who would love to have every detail worked out and stick to the schedule. Our married friend opted out of the dinner initially citing kid trouble. We had to leave by 630 PM, but in the end we could leave for Sayaji by 845 PM. Cos the wifey of the friend A had to feed the kid and we simply wasted our time.....At least mine time was wasted....

6 years back we could have laughed out on the things like this. I am again one of those persons who are targetted and made fun of iin good sense of course. Today those guys did the same. Had fun at my expense. Somewhere I felt hurt. Somewhere they confirmed with me that did i still work with Infy or did i switch to some other co ? That was ridiculous. I remember the minute details of their life and GOD, they dont even remember me or details of my life. Not done right. Again time changes you.....Career, priorities, kids, relationships change people. I kept speaking in naive sincere language, they spoke in ascented and animated English. I can do that too and very well than them.

Somehow I cease being myself when I want to be that at the max. I start speaking in farce regional language when I dont want to. May be nervous ness or whatever fucking habit this is...I couldnt think of being formal with my own friends. They say "thanks", " sorry","pardon" at drop of hat. I can do that too. I do that in my office, but then it takes away the soul of friendship..

After the dinner was over, we returned back home and while driving the lady (Wife of A) sat in the front seat near me making me 2000% uncomfortable. She had her kid in her lap who was hyper active...Her hubby and 2 other friends sat behind seat (rear). They wanted me to have coffee at their place and though i love the drink, i somehow ran away cos i wanted to be away from them....May be lack of family (spouse n all) or a successful relationship made me a bit cautious.....

With time people evolve and the framework of relationships change. I learnt it the hard way today. Perhaps for years now I might not get to meet A and his wife / son. But one thing would always rankle that they changed and alas they didnt think to give due importance to me....I was a dead duck in the party and very out of place. This days its too common with me. I find solace more with myself....I have become more of an American in attitude and life values...I hardly savior rituals or meeting relatives who bite back the back. I love my independence and my views on relationships and things i want of life are prety clear....How and why, that someday later.....

Would upload the snaps of diwali do and the party soon along with how i celebrated the day when i fulfilled my long time dream.....

How often do you let others screw up your days and your festivities ? It happens with me quite a lot. And I hate myself for it.

Diwali wishes!!

Mezzanine thrown open!!

Diwali days are back and so are the festivities of the season. So is the winter and so is this new blog. My true reflection with no inhibitions and heldbacks. Buzz at his bindas best and outspoken witt with what he was few years back. With the new dawn of a new era, time for him to go all out experimenting with all genres......

Enjoy the new blog and comment as freely as you can. I wont lie that I will write here for comments and pester you if you dont. I wont write hate stuff here, but i would also design blog templates for closed friends and xchange free pleasentries. That works on the blog ? Big time :)

I declare the blog open :)
