We jaywalk, sing & go radio ga ga!

While most Mondays are messy, some are less painful than the others. What makes them less painful? Jaywalking & good music. Jaywalking is easy & a lot of fun. In fact, jaywalking is mandatory here. Only a successful jaywalker gets to office/college in time.

What is even more fun than jaywalking is getting to hear a killer song on the radio while just surfing through the presets. It is not uncommon to find people like me, swiftly walking the throbbing roads, skip in the step, singing along unawares with 'Jaane kyun', 'Genda Phool', 'Twist' or 'Desi Girl'.

A notch above a killer song on the radio is a killer song in the BEST bus in-house entertainment service & when you hear (& watch) 'Ek chatur naar' from 'Padosan', on your way to a Monday morning in office, things start looking up. And lines like 'o rey ghodey, aumko godaa bola; aye nigodey, aumko gaali diya ji; badi dekhi teri chaturaayi..' keep playing in your head, thus helping you retain your sanity! Such happenings make you forget how disgustingly non-chivalrous a society ours is. More on that another time.

Well, here's to Mondays & good music. And a belated Yappy Budday to Pancham 'Boss' Da. And the laser show that just got done at the sea-link was quite a spectacle; looks like this is not such a bad Monday after all!

Cheers. Keedas. Peace.

PS: Almost all of us get the new-week blues but Pandey prefers the 'Monday morning Bru's instead! :D As for me, I don't mind most Monday morning brews either :P

When people talk

Blind humour:
Me (with an eye infection): Arey, which bus is that?
Muddu: Seven O seven
Me: Oh ok. Mumbai's very own Double O Seven, Bond vehicle
Muddu (long pause): Die
Me: Yes. But another day :)


And while we're talking about talking (crap) I won't be surprised if these conversations really do happen. All these couples & wannabe couples in the library nah..

Guy: So are you done with Company Final Accounts?
Girl: Yes, why?
Guy: Oh good. Then can you help me tally the balance sheet of my life?

Guy (to Girl): So.. Wanna go out for coffee? Friday evening? Friday, the 12th of June, that is..

PS: For all the happy people, 12th June is when exams end, by the way.

Sleeping pill

Audit is my sleeping pill,
I read it for Group-I mental peace,
It conveniently puts me to sleep,
And also - an overdose can kill.

Afterthought:

Pachaas pachaas kos gaao mein, jab wannabe CA bachcha raat ko timepass karta hai, toh Maa kehti hai, "Beti soo jaa, soo jaa warna Audit Module haath mein thama doongi, aur phir tujhe jabardasti sona padega"

Pearls before (I) whine

• The title might not make much sense to everyone. So what? Names of Chapters do not always match the content either.
• Everything in life can be explained by either a flowchart or a 2-dimensional graph.
• Subjects like Strategic Management & Information Technology are not completely useless after all. They help increase your bullshit tolerance (BST)
• High BST is important in life. It helps certain TV programmes on MTV survive.
• There is no such thing as correct grammar. Try reading ICAI publications.
• Sometimes you need an illness to make you appreciate the wonder that is coconut water.
• Varun Gandhi who?
• Logging on to Facebook after a whole week can be very satisfying. Gives you the feeling of reclaiming your 'non virtual' life, becoming more 'socially configured'!
  

Arz kiya hai.. :D

Har Sunday "Howzzat!" ki cheekhon se neend khulti thi,
BSA Champ cycle par baith duniya rangeen dikhti thi,
Saakli mein 'denner' ban ne se bachte the hum,
Small Wonder dekhne ghar daudte the hum.
Ab snooze pe rakhey alarm ko, bechain, hum so rahe hain,
Driving license na hone ke gham mein ro rahe hain,
Padhaai se oob jaane ke kaaran ghar se nikaltey hi nahi,
Ultey TV-internet ke daldal mein apna santulan kho rahe hain..

Rock sirf patthar ka angrezi naam tha,
Ek rupye ki 'pepsi', do ki 'juice' hamara jaam tha,
Meethi 'cigarette' muh mein rakh, humne badi hoshiyari dikhaai,
Doston ko garv se kehte - Maa Natraj Pencils ka poora dabba laayi!
Ab iPod ki battery low toh saari duniya se rooth padtey,
Cold coffee na milne par choor-choor ho toot padtey,
Khaas-khaas kar 'public place smokers' ko mann hi mann gaali diye,
Staedtler ki maaya mein hum phasey padey..

Notebook mein teacher ke red tick-marks nahi, zindagi mein green rang barse,
Kitaabon ki guftagu mein ghantey guzaare beetey arsey,
Woh bhi kya daur tha - 85 se kam ki baat tak na hoti thi,
Ab 65 ka aggregate dekhne nayan tarse.. nayan tarse..!



Why of course, blog posts happen during exams only :) Let the fun times roll..

Cheers. Keedas. Peace.
