While my guitar gently......

Btw thats the name of a Beatles song!

I (who is taking guitar classes) was goin to office today morning with considerable difficulty i should say and stopped at one of the god forsaken signals in Jaynagar 3rd Block.... There inside a bus were sittin a bunch of school headed Muslim girls and I noticed this only coz i heard a lot of giggling to my right amidst a traffic signal...... I turn my head to the right to find them pointing at my guitar and giggling frantically..... I said a "Jeeeeeeez" to myself and carried on to office.......


Eveningu...

I am on Hosur Road (The urvashi theatre part of it) comin bak home when i notice a Kinetic Jing/Jang/Zing/Ting/Ping (whatever) zoom past me (a discover!!) .... He definitely caught my attention.... Eventually me won the race he he ! ( he had a phone call and stopped someway ) He catches up with me at another traffic signal and says "Hey are u learning or do u play for a band??" I was like "HUH? No still learning" .. he's like "Cool! Coming to Freedom Jam?" I was like "(HUH?) Where?" He said "Palace Grounds 3 Pm, Be there vrooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmm again!!!!!"

I was too shaken up by this ! How the? what the? So i decided to catch up with him.... U shud ave seen this guy ! He(Roshan which i found out later) drives like crazy!! So what i said? I raised the throttle with FUEL by Metallica running in my head thruout one of the most exhilarating drives i've ever had one RV road which had the potential of killing me!!

Finally i catch up with this guy ( Discover = pant pant!) and ask him his name and the Jam details.....

Oh ya here are the details for u guys! Too late it might be by the time u see this but still tonight's experience was worth it!!

2 meet bloggers

Pre Message P.S : The subject of this post read backwards also makes sense!!

Yes that was my intention on Sunday 3 pm after a nice comfortable lunch........

And of course to gulp some hot/cold/weird coffee as a dessert!

Well lets start with the very beginning shall we? Srinivas had already left a reminder on ma phone tht morning and buzzed me 5 mins prior to 3 pm both askin me to and tellin me that he'll, be there at 3 pm sharp!

I was third fastest(as one Mr Over Eager Stupid Colombian was recently!! ) to the CCD at 7th block, which surprisingly unanimously was chosen as the venue for this time's meet also! I met Narendra there who i knew as one of katu's friends from PESIT.... We were just chatting around when Keshav turned up.... For me every new entry was time for some activity as we had to swap pleasantries n more.....

One by one the poor(he!) participants trickled into the rather frosty CCD (i tell u it was cold! atleast it became cold after we ordered the Cool Blue..... ahhhhhh the Cool Blue!! more of tht a lil bit later). Then it was again a general discussion about jobs, girls, Rajendra's absence (who turned up eventually to all our satisfaction ! ) in groups with some ppl just left staring at the tv or outside scanning for some "soothing sights" (7th block CCD is a gr88 place for tht)..... Anyways, i broke the ice and the first QJam strip and played Welcome home(Sanitarium) (as a welcome song, come to think of it now! ) which was not welcomed by some ppl there i guess .... .....

then the whole evening and focus turned towards Srinivas courtesy Narendra and myself.... Srinivas just kept making statements equivalent to digging his own grave and kept wondering why we were at him so much.... It was fun...... We ordered some stuff which everybody was reluctant to eat.... Dono why but i sensed some amount of, u know, restraint n caution being exercised in the atmos there in CCD..... not from ppl like Naren, Srini n myself of course....... but still.......

Eventually, inevitably we come to Srini n Cool Blue.... He once told me that a few of his friends and himself liked the cool blue drink in Coffee Day so much that they created a Yahoo group after it! (which i am pretty sure is lying in the dumps right now activitywise....) I DID NOT know he liked the drink THIS WAY..... Halfway thru the evening our krazy cattu (deliberate reversal of first letters) starts offering a free Cool Blue to ppl who "dare" to drink it.... Given its past appraisal and his current offer which were pretty contradicting, i weighed the pros and cons cautiously looking for any hidden traps in the "challenge" sheeni had put forth and accepted it bravely....

After it had been ordered(a couple of em actually) Naren warned us abt some gross "cant look at it" thing that Sreeni usually does with a Cool Blue.... this kinda prepared us for something but i did not guess the seriousness of the crime yet.... :P

So came the damned Cool Blue, and Our Sreenivas politely says "Hey can i have it for one sec?" I give it to him obligingly and he ....... he .........


Female customers (??!!) of my blog turn away........ (I trust my female customers coz there are none)


He takes a napkin, pours a couple of drops Cool "blue" right in the middle and grins at us triumphantly!!

I must say i dint get it immediately (due to my innate goodness of course!! :D ) but then when sheeni/naren (dont remember) said "Watch ur ads more closely" i got the whole gist of the heinous yet amazingly simple n brilliant trick pulled of by our own kattu..... He continues to amaze me so much on so many levels..........

Oh and the meet ended with me n griz leavin sayin we had to watch formula 1..... and srini forcing everyone of us into a bloggers trip........ (just kiddingsgalu kano sreeni !!)

Dil dard ka tukda hai

Patthar ki dari si hai

Ek andha kua hai ya

Ek band gali si hai........

Real time rowdy

Hero approaches his house on an Activa...... sees the usual anishta dog lying in front of his house... and sees something else which is a lil bit unusual..... a steel cup with something in it laid in front of it and the dog approaching it right in front of his house.....

(Oh no che che che!! wait .... before all this hero sees the street villaaadi villan standing between his own house and hero's house.... )

Hero parks vehicle with mind racing..... gets down....... "stands" the vehicle....

Hero : Can u please keep this someplace else? (referring to the dog's meal in the cup.... his actual words were in fact "idanna innellaadru idakke agattha?" )

Rowdy : Yaake? Onderadu nimshadalli yenagatthe?!

Hero : (Surprised, but unruffled) Nammane munde beda... bere elladru idi.....

Rowdy : Aaythu aaythu..... (and picks up the cup)

Hero more surprised at the easy victory, goes inside reporting some stuff to dad, who is already looking at all this thru the curtains..... Hero is about to boast of his victory when dad says "Alle pakkadalle itbitta nodu avnu... eeglu namm mane munde ne ide innu ! "

Hero looks at all this and is a bit fed up with Rowdy honestly.... so he decides to take maaters into his own hands........

(At this point, the mangy dog is gnawing at the bone of its meal sittin on his house' front portico kinda portion)

Hero : Idanna illi idbedi neevu

Rowdy : Nimmane munde enu ittillvalla....... ROADu idu... nimdobbrdena mane illirodu.... saaku olagogri!! nim kelsa nodkoli

Hero : (leeeeeeeeeeeeetl bit of anger) Namm mane mundina portion idu.... nimm mane munde bekadre hakikolli! Illi beda ashte

Rowdy : Idu nimma mane portion enu alla..... Naayi illi itthu karde barlilla... nam mane munde ne hakde adanna...... barlilla naa enu maadli.....

Hero shakes head and is heading back home when he hears some mutters and the word "artha aytha? "

He turns back heroically and says "enu?"

Rowdy says : "Nin kelsa nodkond neenu iru..... en enakko tale haakbeda... nam kayyalli vadegalu tintya!!! sari iralla amele! "

Hero contains dad who has come out at all this quiet commotion (paradox!?) and both of em go inside.....
