I must be dead

Last 10 Days.
I dint receive a single call, I dint make a call…
I dint blog a single post, neither read one…
I dint read a single mail, neither mailed one…
I dint eat a single pizza, heard a single pink Floyd song…

This is not normal … I must be dead.

oota ayta

“Saaptaccahaa..?”"uNu Kazhinyo.”kabar kecho..”"kalei vanakkam..”"kee gal he..”"nandri”"bhojanam ayinda ..” etc. etc.

.. But nobody ever asked me “oota ayta, saar”. whats wrong with my language yaar!

update: In depth analysis

Bhagwan jab deta he

I was on a break, I am still on. It was unexpected one – thanks to Airtel, hutch and her other brothers and sisters for isolating me from the rest of the world. Looks like i will never reach a stage where I “happily did blogging ever after”

ow thank you notes.

•  Airtel, thanks for sending a kid on tenth day to look into my modem problems. I was wondering when you are gonna change that “24X7 to service” to “once in a month service”.
• Hutch, That was very new information, that your SIMs stop working suddenly and you your customer will loose all the data he has in it. Solution of buying a new SIM must be bringing you good money eh?

Other honorable mentions

• Thanks for Credit card guys for auto debiting double the money I spent ( with Rs300 fine). That leaves me penniless, hmm feels good.
• HDFC thanks for sending my checkbook to some village near Hyderabad. for me 600KM is really not a distance. And closing my account without my consent was really smart.
• About heavy brokerage ICICI, hm thats valid. By the way did I buy anything. (This one is latest, need to talk to customer care yet)

old culprits.

• DOmino’s broke a record , by sending a pizza after 2Hrs30Mins. I actually asked him “what made you come so early for my next order”
• “Jon Player” have weak stitchings – in dangerous spot.

I totally agree with “bhagwan jab deta he, chappad phad ke deta he”

Come to my work, I am currently adding 15manhrs per day to Indian economy. I did it on Independence day also. Gandhiji must be really happy, clients weren’t.

My first crush

I was seven eight then (some 20 years back ) , I used to wait for commercial breaks in between Ramayana or other Sunday entertainers , for this girl to come and say

“I loove you Rasnaaaaaaaaaaaa“.

Hyderabad blues

This story dates back to two years. I was in Hyderabad then. Those were really wonderful days and we used to call it as “Paid holidays”.

This is about one funny incident (accident), which is still number second most embarrassing moments (first one was i got a degree ). Alright come to the point.. one fine day me and one my colleagues were left for a dinner and suddenly we realized the lift jammed between two floors, power went off. That “colleague” was a “she”, and as expected she started off with “mummyy…:-( “. I too was reluctant to shout for help, cause i din’t want my leg gets pulled ( I love the other way round). We waited for some time , power dint come nor any help. I too was fed up.. how long can you keep singing “Hum tum .. ek kamre me bandh ho….”. We called for help ( hutch has good network )

My retirement plan

I know it is little too early to think about my retirement plan. But if I don’t plan it now , they gonna give me a pigeonhole in some stupid metro after 40 years.

Sea view , dense woods, Shendi Angadi ( arrack shop ) and me. wot say?

Dear Domino’s and Subway,

Dear Domino’s and Subway,
Congratulations on loosing one more customer. Thanks for all the wrong deliveries you have done to me. I took long time before I settle down, after trying chapathis of pizza corner, paranthas and pizza hut and vada pav of Marry brown. It was taste and quality that made me keep ordering you. But now, it looks like you misplaced recipe.

Its too late now, I am tired. You both together lost around 1500 Rs business per week. There are some things I want to ask (and shout).

• I repeatedly telling Jalapeño am my favorite. When I say I need more Jalapeño on subway and extra Jalapeño topping on my pizza, I mean “I NEED ““EXTRA” of them. I did not find a single piece of it. Do you know English?
• If you haven’t put Jalapeño, please tell me you haven’t. “It’s embedded inside the pizza”, “it’s in the form of pizza” etc are simply not acceptable. Your delivery boys think I am and lallu-pappu is it?
• When I say “one” it is “one”, when I say “two” I really mean I need “two”. Please don’t send one coke less and argue that is what I ordered. I know my orders and you billed it. Your apologies don’t fill my stomach.

ಮಾತನಾಡಲೂ…… … ಅವಳು ಮಾಯವಾದಳು !!!

Update : Prashanth has posted MP3 in my comments. Thank you very much. I was searching that song from long. the lyrics goes like this :

ಕಾಡು ನೋಡ ಹೋದೆ ಕವಿತೇ ಒಡನೆ ಬಂದೆ
ಕವಿತೆಯೊಳಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ ರಾಗ ದೊಡನೆ ಬಂದೆ
ಕಡಲ ನೋಡ ಹೋದೆ ಮಾಯದ ಕಲೆಗೆ ಬಲೆ ಯ ತಂದೆ
ಬಳೆಯ ಬೀಸಿ ಕಾದು ಮೋಹದ ತರುಣಿಯನ್ನು ತಂದೆ

ಮಾತನಾಡಲೂ……ಅವಳು ಮಾಯವಾದಳು

Back to track.

I was very irregular in blogosphere lately. I was busy resolving life, both professional and personal. Thanks for asking.

Here I am., back to track

Keep your words sweet

Keep your words sweet – you may have to eat them sometime.

There is one very similar subhashita in Sanskrit, which always been my favorite.

प्रियवाक्यप्रदानेन सर्वे तुश्यंति जंतवः | तस्मात्तदेव वक्तव्यं वचने का दरीद्रता ||

(To read: priyavAkyapradAnEna sarvE tushanti jantavah tasmattadEva vaktavyam vachanE ka darIdratA )

All living creatures love listening to you, if you talk sweet. So why poverty of sweet words ?
