I receive 6 calls from my bro one after the other when I am in a meeting. I panic because he is never this insistent and would wait for me to call back. Cursing everyone in the room killing time, I rush out mumbling my apologies. I had him on speed dial, so I hit 5 and wait...
Ring....Ringg.....Ringg....
Arghhh (answer goddamit!)
Me: Hello Hello
LB : hmmm Hello
Me: How are you? Is everything ok? Why did you call? You called 6 times relentlessly? What is it? You ok?
LB: errrr... where are you?
Me: HUH?!!! wtf! I am in London, but whats with you? Are you ALRIGHT? (I scream!)
LB: Give me your address
Me: ARE U OK? reply to that and why you called? whyyyyy?
LB: I want to search where you work on Google Maps
Me: HUH? (*blinking furiously* wondering if i heard it right)
Me: What why?
LB: I wanted to see you on Google Maps, just in case you were out of your building.. you know... out for a walk!
Me: arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! $%"&"%£!^$&"¬%$!$£"423 (list of expletives) *click*
Phone rings and its him again
LB: hihihihih i got you ther for a sec, didnt I? *laughing uncontrollably *
Me: arghhh... Get lost (*grinning like a fool*) *click*
Sigh! I miss the crazy bugger!

Timsheets!
My manager popped over to my desk to check my timesheet report for the past 2 years, gaping all those numbers I couldnt help but mouth "What an absolute effing waste of the precious time in my life!"
Not sure I where I want to be or what would be the ideal job, where I wouldnt cringe at the thought of going to work. But to be honest I have no complaints... and that is till I figure out what it would be, that I would love to work on...

Homesick!
- Smell of ma's biryani
- Sound of loud thunder during crazy Mangalore monsoon
- Kori rotti
- Neer dosa with fish curry
- Smell after the first rain
- Walking home from college soaking wet with an umbrella which just acts as a feel good factor and does nothing to keep you dry
- My crazy pup(5 yrs old actually) which cant stop rubbing its head onto the floor if any perfume/deodorant/talcum powder is used
- Ma's huge collection of diya's, Ganesh statues and loads of irrelevant figurines all displayed and crammed into the living room solely for the viewing pleasure of our guests
- My loony friends, those guys would never leave home once they got it in
- The new year ritual at my place where all the "guys" used to meet up at Panambur beach, and I had to go there and lead them home, 2004 new yr had 12 bikes outside my house
- Making chicken tikka on the roof with ma and bro again 2004 record was 25 chickens’ tikkofied and playing bingo, with ma winning all of our money! She made up for the loss by asking my bro to get 2 crates of beer for the guys since they were behaving so well! And what do I have to do deserve that drink?
- Dad's yearly visit and he gifting me the most terrible perfumes ever, which used to give me a blinding headache! But I hugged him anyway :)
- Riding to the secluded private beach to sit on the rocks and watch the sun go down ever so often and always alone
- The eat outs at namma kudla
- Fried ice cream from Hao Ming :( (Dear God! I’m gonna weep now )

- Neo and our late nit yahoo chats
- Elections celebrations at my college
- College Strikes :)
- Organising Inter College Events, managing to win once in a while in such event to feel proud about my college :)
- Spending a few hours in the small church close to my place alone with no one there just to absorb the silence
- Smell on blowing out a matchstick
- Daff and the late night talks when she stays over at my place
- Gaming! I miss playing CS on the network with guys... Omg! I miss it soo much, it was soo amusing to kick their ass and listen to them swearing

- Liquid Lounge or LL to us Mangloreans, favourite hang out

Drone-On
*SPOILER ALERT*
If you plan to watch the movie, do not read any further because I will be commenting on the most amusing incident/scenes in the movie. Brace yourself
Movie begins with some weird looking gora boys vandalising a shop(well i missed the first few mins, I'm sure i missed out on a lot!) our small B comes in at the nick of time to listen to the tiny gora spout some gibberish which I later was told were threats in HINDI! wow.. what are the odds, hindi speaking gora's in the middle of some EU country or Russia for all you know.
Now the crisis, its kind of like a Cinderella story, poor small B lives with some guy and his mom who both dislike him are in the movie for like 2 minutes, so he is this loner who talks to a blue petal which follows him and gifts him a kada(bracelet).
Enter the clown aka Kay Kay, one of the most amazing actor turned to a circus clown in my opinion. He is the evil magician Riz Raizada who is after the elixir of life and to let us know that he creates a clone and the kills the clone which is covered in some goo stuff and also lets us know that he thinks his enemy Drona is still alive somewhere.
I know Mr.Goldie has spent a lot on the graphics, but "Ghustaaki Maaf" what were you thinking? Its ten years since movies like Matrix have come out and this is the quality of a special effect movie bollywood can come up with?
Coming back to where i was yeah, blah blah now small B works in a bakery and the guy he works with looks exactly like a BAKER, like the ones we see on the bread covers or Pillsbury for crying out loud and in comes a gori nun and yet again insists on speaking in hindi to our boy who replies back in English. Sweet. More irrelevant stuff happens and he ends up at the golden seat at the show of the great magician none other than Riz Raizada who immediately recognises him and send his gunda's to get small B. A chase is shown and then out hero is struck by a dart surrounded by around ten of the yellow pullover doned gundas. In enters another dash of bright yellow and steps out our heroine/side kick/baabuji ki beti(dont ask! you'll know soon). Now considering that its the current time and our hero is dressed in casual jean and a jumper, it is just soo magical to see the lady look like a witch but showing a good amount of cleavage and a weird weapon and manages to save our hero.
Hero wakes up to Oop Cha, wat is the deal with this song? Wtf!!! magical lady/sidekick/babhuji ki beti is in skimpy clothes dancing with a bunch of very well toned black doodes! way to go girl, but what is your point again?
This is just the beginning but I guess I'll leave it at that :)
All i can say is that the graphics is absolutely spell binding for a bollywood movie. Just a change in cast getting Kay Kay off and a better implementation of grpahics used would have made the movie much more convincing.
Ciao for now
