Rain, rain go away!!!!

Yup its been raining cats and dogs since past 2 weeks (one of the reasons for me not to write the blog ..... too gloomy in the evening and I feel bored to do anything) Anyway fortunately (or unfortunately whichever way you look at it) the rains are mostly in the evening. Only day before yesterday it rained in the morning and it was so gloomy i could not distinguish between 7 am and 8.30 am!!!! and it was flooded everywhere which reminds me of the dialogue areez said yesterday (and he calls me god of wisdom!!! huh!!!) Yup I get pretty irritated with the rains ........ don't ask why, i have never got an answer when i asked that to myself :)
Lots have happened here in the past few days ........ I don't know where to start. Yup lets begin with the "Baap" or "ex - baap" if you like it. Well it was quite strange the way he was demanding not to be called daddy!! hehe, hetal is always like "Baapu ..... oh shit sorry ramanuj ....." Very funny and unusual to see the girls referring to Ram as Ram and not as Daddy. I guess Save would be most happy if they stopped calling him bhaiyaa!!! Anyway ghar mixer aa gaya hain and now we can expect more goodies from head chef hetal!!! Temporarily i was promoted from "The peeler man" to "Vessel shiner"(simply put washing vessels ....... feels good to give a big name to it :D) But I donno somehow i just only observe the kitchen battles rather than getting involved. (Areez has assured me that its not a bad thing so i'll take his word for it!)
Oh yes!! I forgot about it!! I have started eating non-veg!! yippee!! The trip to siddique was very satisfying, after all it was more than a month since we went there!! But of course mama's cooking rules ................. oh which reminds me: Mum, Dad and Bro are coming here on May 4th!!! yipeee!! I haven't yet started planning for their trip so loads of work to do now .... but for now just involved in the CMMI assessment of my project. There's a lot of confusion over what docs to prepare cos there has never been an assessment of the project before and the size is less than 3. Lets see we'll manage this also ;)
Now to end this a bit of football please .......... It was great to see Man Utd come back from two losses (in 2 different competitions) to thrash A.S. ROMA (This team stands second in Italian league) 7-1!!!! Awesome entertainment ....... and well haven't looked back since that victory. I can see some people were quite jealous and posted stuff about the Portsmouth game ..... hehehe had a nice round of posts on it!!! :)
I can see this post is getting quite long, so me will stop here ................ See you all take care and as usual until next time

Ciao!!!!!

HOME AND BACK AGAIN

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
"
Never hate your enemies. It clouds your judgement."
-Michael Corleone

Yaaaaawwwwnn!!!!!
Well that's not me ..... that's my bro when i reached home!!! "Tu aa gaya......(tries to smile) ..... baad main baat karte hain thik hain(and then off to sleep)" Pretty much spent all the days at home.
First day had some home food finally!!! (Personally I was waiting for saturday when mom would cook non veg ........ I mean she doesn't know many veg recipies an all ..... but non veg she cooks just awesome) Feasted on the easter eggs!!! and then met up with school friends and played PS2!!! Awesome it was to play FIFA 07, Black, Rally etc... etc.... (I know some of you not interested so changing the topic) I just wished I had a PS you know.............me would be sitting right in front of the TV the entire day.
Then we had masses on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Vigil on Saturday!! The best part was that there are about 10,000 families in our parish so we always have these masses on the football ground. Its always a great atmosphere ..... plus the passion being sung and gettin the statue of Jesus off the cross!!
Anyway Gaurav called on Friday just to tell his plans. So the first thing he says is "Happy celebrations for Good Friday!" (Well for ppl who do not know .... On Good friday Jesus is crucified on the cross. On this day he dies to liberate mankind from all their sins. Since he died for the good of mankind ...... the day is called Good Friday!) So I am stunned (more because my friend scored against me on PS2 when i was answering the phone!!! cheater!!!!) and then i tell gaurav there is nothing to celebrate an all and its a day of fasting ......... but he is too excited to listen. He just says, "Haan hum ab rahe hain see you later!!!"
Anyway Supreet, Pavan and Marwin(yup my friend's name is also Marwin) came over to my place on saturday after the easter vigil. And we kept talking like till 4 in the morning. Just you know remembering the old days (its just a year ago .... but still gone are the days!! :() those nights when we studied, and then playing HITMAN and NFS while studying....... etc.. etc... well just didn't feel like leaving after remembering those days.
Easter sunday I feasted ......... after a month I was having non veg plus mom made the food so even better!!!!!! Watched the race and pretty much disappointing Ferrari finished 3rd and 5th, to top all the frustration McLaren 1-2 ....... previous week was also bad Man Utd lost both games last week :( pretty frustrating cos they played well and still lost on saturday.
Finally came back to Hyderabad ........ flight was delayed 2 hours so pretty much pissed off (even the airhostesses didn't help this time!!!!) reached home at around 12.30 and then had some dinner (Mum packed some mutton chops) Overall the break came at the right time.......it was a much needed one too!!!! Next month mum, dad an bro are coming here so it'll be good then!!!

Chalo gotta go and catch some sleep ...... so take care and until next time

CIAO!!!!!

HOME AT LAST :)

Well yup I am back ............. just completed a nice 5 hr sleep. Had a great lunch which had some paneer, mooli and bhindi fry!!!! Flight was good there was this sweet airhostess who kept switching on the reading lights for me (She was quite pretty you know :)) Anyway Shiksha gave treat yesterday at temptations ..... so enjoyed a lot .......... There weren't many of us just Shisha, Deepal, Me, Ram n Sneha. Had a great time though (Mostly I was sleepy and had still to pack bags so that was on the back of my mind) Selpt only for an hour from 1 - 2. Before that finished the packing and watched the PSV Eindhoven - Liverpool game (Liverpool won 0-3 ........... congrats to Pandit, they have virtually booked a place in the semi final) Today is Man Utd's game aginst Roma!! so another sleepless night!!!!
Hope all of you are working hard and not sleeping at your desks......... If you need any inspiration then you can always take it from none other than yours truly :):)
Chalo then nothing else happened in the last 12 hours ........ Take care and until next time

Ciao!!!!!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR!!!!

Well, don't worry its not me ...... someone else is!!! To think of it I might be the only survivor left (well u might read it as loser ..... then again its your point of view!!!) Today morning only Sneha gave me the good news and well too happy for Shilpi!!!! As sneha says, "Another roomie down."One by one all my friends have fallen. All my fault you know, when I look back yaa I even managed to make one or two relationships (maybe I'm just lucky for my friends :), I should start charging people now :D)

Anyway leaving aside something at which i was never lucky(hopefully the future will be better, but I'm not complaining ;)) Yesterday was a very very busy day .......... had a big issue to be solved (ya ok!!! some ppl raising their eyebrows already ..... but from the past one week got work and thats why less frequent on IM also ..... ask Durvi if you want) This all created a headache and I was going with Ram and Sneha (Only God could help me!!!) and Ram went on you know talking about some person in Delhi (he comes up with new names everyday) and the same old room no. che so baavan (652 in hindi .... gives more effect :D) So, I freaked out and started taunting him so that kept him quiet (for sometime at least!!!) Then we saw a cab at Gachibowli and well Ram being the smart man went upto him and asked him if he would take us to Galaxy. Well after asking Ram started walking ahead, so I asked kya hua ...... the infamous Daddy says, "Woh bolta hain seedhe chalo pahunch jaaoge" :) (Too bad Ramu, Cab waale ne bhi nahin chodaaa!! :D)

Anyway I did my first constructive help in cooking yesterday, I peeled 3 potatoes!!!!! Well small step for me towards cooking ........ but its a step atleast(FYI, I am the official taster so that's something you know) Yup after this I sat down to write (yup finally something which i can do better at!!) Food was good, head chef Sneha was in action. She is getting good at it you know!!!! (But of course I was there to help all along :P, hey cmon ask her if you want to!!)

Well signing off with quote for the day ...... as one of my bestest friends has said,
"LOVE IS IN THE AIR, AND I AM NO WHERE"
hehe, but he has also been overcome by it and I am too happy for him!!!
Congo to Shilpi ..... sincerely hope that its a great life ahead. As for me .... going home tonight!!! Hopefully the net connection is on at home ..... so will keep posting from my place. So till next time take care.

Ciao!!!!!!

THE WEEKEND THAT WAS!!!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY :
"
Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer."
- Don Vito Corleone, GODFATHER

Well as you can guess from the quote the weekend i watched the GODFATHER trilogy. It is the most amazing thing and a must watch for all!!! I liked it so much i watch first part twice :)
Anyway a much required break for me, feeling much better now!!! Woke up early on saturday at 10 am (hey cmon now, its a saturday now!!!) Well all went to infy except me!!! so I cleant my room, kept all the clothes in the cupboard (uh ...... well I'm sharing the room with Save so it took me time to search my clothes in the heap lying on one chair)
Then it was godfather time (I had watched the first part last evening but still :D) .......... so from 12 to 7 it was only godfather (with Liverpool vs Arsenal game in between .... uh well some people got messages about the score too :) .... anyway more about the games later) After this it Man United vs Blackburn Rovers. Description is next, with all my emotions :) (so you can skip the next para if you want)
Ya in between Godfather 3 i did manage to watch the first 2 Liverpool goals (which were good) in the end Liverpool won 4-1 ....... Please ask explanations from Faizu :D. Man United started badly conceding a goa in the 29th minute :( So pissed I was, it summed up my entire week. The score was 0-1 at HT (Half Time for the uninitiated) But United came back strong and scored 4 in the second half!!! :):) and it summed up my weekend and well my time ahead!!!!! Only bad thing is Vidic is out for 4-5 weeks which is a huge blow for us :(:(
Anyway away from football we had food at handi and we all (the all here is me, rohan, gaurav and sumit) were going to eat some ice cream. Gaurav had to go to deepal's place to lock the door and something hilarious happened there with shiksha an deepal which i cannot mention here (Please ask them only ...... sorry sicksaa an deeps' couldn't skip this :)). Later these guys came to my place for GURU and i went off to sleep, since had to wake up early for mass on Sunday. Yesterday was Palm Sunday(Ask me later the blog is getting too loong anyway :)) So there was distribution of blessed Palm Leaves, out of which i made a decent cross (But somehow people kept staring at the palm leaf cross in my hand............ maybe because I was holding it like a gun!!!:S) Anyway rest of the day went in washing clothes and the house and some much needed sleep since I woke up at 7.30 for going to church (ya ya ok ok!!! lucky all u guys who slept ..... I had no option there was no evening mass)
Anyway in the end a weekend i was waiting for just for myself ...... books, movies, poems (currently in construction will post tomorrow!!!) Hoping for better days ahead ;) see ya all and take care until next time!!!
