Ant ,Beer & Life

Jai-ho by Rahman,Beer, lively atmosphere and IPL final. Sunday evening I carried myself to the pub for the IPL final. Located my self on the table for two, accompanied by a friend of mine.
Despite all the happening around I managed to spot an ANT on my circular wooden table (I think he was there to support Chennai).  I saw it moving at the speed of 1mm/sec towards my Beer glass. It crossed all the obstacles coming in its way whether it may be ketchup, bottle, lighter or Ice bucket.
I thought of playing a game with it. Placed knife in front of it and tried to distract it in opposite direction. Again after a while I noticed obnoxious ant heading towards my beer glass with more speed this time (may be 2mm/sec). I think they have a very short memory .It encountered the same obstacles and charging in to meet my sword (knife)   I did the same thing and same result, I succeeded. (OK, I know succeeded is wrong word here) .This happened one more time.
What one can deduce from this? - Ants are stupid or Humans are stronger (fuck off!!).
On a serious note, put this analogy to the life. Many a times in life we keep on facing challenges again and again. Sometimes we are through and some times jacked up. What's important is to keep on moving, irrespective of any number of failures, irrespective of direction. If you are moving, the probability is always higher that you‘ll reach your destination sooner or later instead of sitting and crying on spill over.
Ant was moving all the time and may be sometime later, when I was not noticing ,it may have escaped my inactive knife barrier.
Also one more important thing to notice is that as ants have small memory which kept on serving it that it was a new path even while it was traversing same old path every time. So Sometime it is helpful to forget your past baggage and keep on charging with more enthusiasm each time. Hopefully you'll succeed (its correct this time, chill!!). 

Note - Beer tastes good with matches. 
 p.s. - Chennai won the IPL final by defeating Mumbai Indians,(poor Sachin). Also Mr. L.K. Modi delivered emotional speech with swollen ass. This IPL snatched the post of External Affairs Minister from Respected Mr. Shashi Tharoor (I mean the word ‘Respected’)

RED - I am good or bad ?

I am in danger,
I am in anger.
I am in blood,
I am in flood.
I am in sun,
I am in burn.
I am in spark,
I am in dark.
I am in fire,
I am in liar.
I am in sin,
I am in gin.

I am in pure,
I am in cure.
I am in win,
I am in virgin.
I am in love,
I am in above.
I am in temple,
I am in people.
I am in god,
I am in Umbilical cord.
I am in vein,
I am in brain.

I sometime wonder,
I sometime ponder.
I am good or bad, I sometime think.
I got no answer got no link.

I smoke you more when I am in doubt

I hold you tightly between my lips.
I enjoy putting light at your hips.
I smoke you in, I smoke you out.
I smoke you more when I am in doubt.

I thought of betraying you so many time.
I thought of not committing any other crime.
I thought of not lighting you another time.
But I always surrender and came back with a whine.
I smoke you in, I smoke you out.
I smoke you more when I am in doubt.

I filled you with marijuana.
I filled you with cannabis.
I even tried to fill you with weed.
I gave you so much pain but u paid them no heed.
That is why...
I smoke you in, I smoke you out.
I smoke you more when I am in doubt.

I shared you with my friends,
I shared you with my mates.
I even shared you with people who have not developed your taste.
Despite so much pain you never complain.
And hence…
I smoke you in, I smoke you out.
I smoke you more when I am in doubt.

I burnt you in smoke
I burnt you in ashes,
I threw you in the dustbin and you developed some rashes.
When the next time I lit you, you pretend to be clever.
And that is why my dear my love for you last for-ever.
I smoke you in, I smoke you out.
I smoke you more when I am in doubt.

I tried you with the coffee and tea.
I tried you with cognac on the sea.
I tried you when I was running for luck and even during the fuck.
You never shouted when I burnt your asses
You just keep on burning in the nicotine gasses.
And it is when my love grew stronger...
I smoke you in, I smoke you out.
I smoke you more when I am in doubt.

I like to fly when you put me on a high.
I like to lie when you are out of my sigh.
I sometime wonder is it true,
You are the one who kills thousands of people every year.
I think this is not right,
I think we should not fight.
I think I am in dilemma I am in doubt
But … ..
I smoke you more when I am in doubt.

Ananya Swaminathan from IIMA .. girl to watch out for!!

Chetan Bhagat has done the trick again.I relieved the magic of five point someone. Just finished reading his last one - 2 states. Man.. what a sense of humor this fella has. Rib tickling one liners and first person narration in the book was awesome.
I felt disappointed after his last one (3 mistakes..) , may be after writing that he committed the fourth mistake.
But this one is far apart and best after the first one.
Story is about the marriage of Ananya swaminathan ( south Indian girl) and Krish Malhotra (Punjabi boy).
"Pretty" tamil brahmin girl from "Chennai" ( a bit fiction and more of oxymoron statement), and Punjabi Boy krish. Both stuck up in IIM-A . They fell in Love,They make love.They want to marry with their parents consent. As usual parents oppose this relationship.
Boy opt for the job posting at chennai to woo the girls parents. Start's giving tutions to girls brother , helps her father in presentation and mother in singing by organizing the music concert.
Gets the approval from girls parents .
Now its time for south Indian girl to be accepted in punjabi family. Girl flies down to Delhi to woo krish's parents. After some harsh treatment gets approval , with a twist in tale made by krish's crazy father.
Ended up in marrying in Tamil style and later on giving birth to twins after 2 years .
Seems to be a simple story so what is unexpected and look out for in this book.
Chetan Baghat's one liner , his desi way of story telling and first person narration.There can be many people on earth who must have started reading novel after five point someone and this one is another brick in the wall.
Here are some of the one liners from his book.

--Ananya's introduction in book --
"I stole a sideways glance -- definitely above average. Actually, well above average. In fact, outlier by IIM-A standards. '
'Ananya Swaminathan -- best girl in the fresher batch,' seniors had already anointed her on the dorm board. We had only twenty girls in a batch of two hundred. Good-looking ones were rare; girls don't get selected to IIM for their looks. They get in because they can solve mathematical problems faster than 99.9 percent of India's population and crack the CAT. Girls like Ananya, if and when they arrive by freak chance, become instant pin-ups in our testosterone-charged, estrogen-starved campus.) "

---Krish giving tution to ananya's brother manju--
Manju: "Krish Bhai.. Can something bad happen if you watch blue films?'
Krish: 'If you just watch them?'
Manju: 'Just watching....and' hesitantly,'and if you do something else afterwards.'.
Krish: 'Why dont you ask your Appa?'
Manju: 'Aiyo, what are you saying?".
Krish: 'You could become blind'-with a serious face.
Manju: 'Really'?

--When ananya ask krish to be just friends ---

"Why wud any guy want to be friends with a girl? It's like agreeing to be near a Chocolate cake & never eat it. It's like sitting in a racing car but not driving it. Only wimps do that."

--When ananya shifted to krish's room --
Even though she never said " I love you", Ms Swaminathan moved in with me.I had freaked out about the idea when she arrived at my room one day with a backpack for overnight clothes. I'd have much preferred her place, as I didn't want her to be the only woman in the dorm with twenty testosterone-charged men.

--When Krish's landlord turned up unexpectedly and Ananya was boozed off--

'Baby, I'm sleepy', she said, trying to pull me back into bed.
'My landlord is here', I said. She didn't respond even though i shook her maniacally.
'Your appa is outside', I said.
She sprang up on the bed. 'What

--another one --
Pretty Girls behave best when you ignore them (Of course, they have to know you are ignoring them, for otherwise,they may not even know you exist).

--and another one--
" It is fascinating to see a sardar-ji speak in Tamil.LIKE SUN TV'S MERGER WITH ALPHA TV "

After the Scene at Rathna Stores T Nagar.
Krish:'You shoudn't have kissed me there.why did u do it??
Ananya: Because I couldn't help it,you are irresistible sometimes'.
Alright Mrs swaminathan if your daughter can't resist me,there is no way you can either.

And many more to look out for.
Hopefully worth spending a hundred bucks. Just give it a try and enjoy.

steps to start pipe smoking .

Imagine how it feels , sitting up with couple of friends on terrace at mid-night.Listening the score of legendary Jamaican singer BOB MARLEY's "No Woman , No cry". Black wooden pipe sliding out of your mouth engrossed with English blended tobacco.What more... . Boy oh boy pipe smoking can be fun.

So lets get started.

1.The most important thing is the good pipe. The pipe should be of reasonably good quality. Neither too expensive nor too cheap. As with expensive one you never know you gonna continue this passion or not and with cheaper you may not experience the real taste. The best pipe in the initial stage to look for is wooden one. As tobacco after hitting the wood will give you a good nice aroma. As wood amalgamate itself with tobacco easily.

2.Good quality of tobacco. Many flavors are readily available. Check out for the tobacco that can easily blend with the pipe's wood. English blend can be preferred for the first time.

3.Packing the tobacco in pipe is one of the tedious task. Cover the bowl of the pipe to the full.Try to fill until it reaches the brim of the bowl. Make sure that stem of the pipe is free from any blockage , as later on you may regret for this. Don't try to cram too much of tobacco as it may result in less supply of air while smoking .

4. Lighting up pipe is easy , just put a light on the top . Try and take small puff for 10-15 secs. Make sure you don't have to exert too much of pressure while inhaling,this process should be smooth. Wait till flame reaches the bottom of tobacco and your job is done. Keep on refilling the pipe as required .

enjoy!!.
