Pappa ! your car is in the bageecha !

In 15 days , I will leave home to start my first job . On June 7 , I take the morning flight to Calcutta and land at ganguly-land in two hours , along with the in flight magazine I always smuggle out to my boost my 'Yah I am a baddd boyyy' component of personality. Just received a big parcel from the company . The courier guy was like "What's in this parcel ?? Inzamam ul haq ???". For the first 10 days of my induction , I will be staying at a 5 star deluxe hotel , so I better start knowing a sweet couple called Mr.Fork and Miss.Spoon . Right now , a video involving my table manners can be nominated for the top 10 most disgusting videos of the decade , just below a mms involving Paresh Rawal in a shower scene .

And yesterday was a jet black day in the history of my driving . Early in the day , I was reversing the car out of our house and I barged into the hedge around our garden . Dad was like "Shucks !!! All those scratches !! Looks like a crocodile used my car door for her manicure . " and ma was like "Ullu !!! You killed my jasmine plants !! Their fragrance was so lucky for our home as per vaastu shastra !". Last heard , dad was telling ma something about getting my class VIII wali bicycle cleaned and repaired .

In fact , I have been getting a lot of 'Be responsible' talk from my parents . I swear on Kareena Kapoor , I don't want to increase their problems , but I don't know what to do to come across as 'responsible' ? wear a space suit ? Talk about the war of 1971 with them ? Maybe I should give in to the fact that the atmosphere at home is a pretty no-nonsense types . Like this morning , as dad was getting ready for office , he remarked " My employers may post me to some other city in a few months . If this happens , I will resign ".

And I said " Yeah do that . Then Rohit Bal's son will say 'My dad is a designer' and I will say 'My dad is a resigner' ". I don't even know if 'resigner' is a proper word , and I know , my financial accounting book's index is more amusing than what I said , but I thought it was better than a simple "Yeah , ok". But my dad just blew up and declared I can never be serious in life . I don't know what to say . I guess it takes a lot to understand why a guy slips on a banana skin and gets up and curses every banana in the world with frequent mention of the banana's ma and behan. And why another guy slips on a banana skin and gets up and grins sheepishly . Most of us have the same circumstances , the same mix of 'kabhi khushi kabhi gham' , but it's the attitude which defines our lives .

And I have been hitting orkut lately . One thing I don't get is that why people put up pictures of filmstars as their profile pics . I know my picture can induce bed wetting in kids upto eleven years old , but putting up a Salmaan Khan pic as my profile pic is like saying "Ok . This is me . I know the guy who starred in Hum aapke hain kaun resembles me ."And I sure won't look at some girl's profile pic and say "WoW !!! Laetitia Casta is on orkut !!". I know you guys would be looking at the hitler's passport sized foto staring at you from the sidebar on the right , but hey , that's not me ok ? I need to visit Shehnaz hussain for three years to look that good .

I am listening to 'Aankhon mein tera hee chehra' from the aryans right now . It came out sometime when I was in school , class XII maybe . It was like the 'teenage love anthem' for me at that time , a song which was like the background tune everytime I came across anything resembling a female . Man , I feel as old as a banyan tree remembering all those days , to think that I am turning 25 this year . It's another matter that I still ram cars in garden hedges . Hata saawan ki ghata.

Raza said...

Happy would be an unsightly word to describe my feeling.

I am so carried away that I now want to be in the top three, twice!!.
With this achievement, I have already forgotten that a two wheeler hit my parked car this morning, on the first day of its obviously short life span.

She looks really gorgeous in the song!!!!

Akash said...

Kid, as you are being put up in a ***** hotel, I'm very concerned about how would you make do with the toilet papers with dignity and grace. Believe me, you have no other options, no tap or bidet or the like to rescue you. Room services usually don't help in that act. You can use the bathtub beside on the sly, but I'm afraid, in such case, generations to come will never send their kids to IIMC. But I sincerely hope that you are be able to MANAGE that situation by contriving some tricks, if not for others, at least to prevent the reputation of IIMC from falling. Now the question is how?

Shekhar said...

Damn cute post, bhai jaan. And I guess I'm the luckier persons roaming this country...my dad manages the bang the car around more than I do !!

Anonymous said...

Hey !! your 'Pappa' is choo cute !! i mean the way you say 'pappa' and not 'papa' :P

And lolz @ 'resigner'...my dad would have become a resigner many times over...now can Bal ever become a 'designer' many times over ... hmm... :))

Gaddi gaye khet mein...accha...chalo bageecha hi sahi !! You better stop playing with the fork and spoon and start concentrating on all the free goodies you can get from 'Sonar'

I liked that 'Sepia and Sutta' photu of yours...woh laga do...ITC ke naam par :P

Take care ! All The very Best !!!

humorous man!! and 5 star hotel han!! lucky u.. hope u won't quit blogggin after takin up the job???

Anonymous said...

oh abhi, remember me?? im d one who commented in one of ur previous posts with the coolness of himani navratna tel kee abhi u cud have donr far better. sorry to have taken so much time to reply, par meri chhuttiyan had started and i had to go back home. i know you have already forgot abt whole thing which is gud, but i still need to say something.

first things first. abhi is the 'betaaj badshah' of the blogging world, is the absolute truth. you are a source of inspiration for many devastated souls who want to make it big in the blogging world(jyadaa ho raha hai kya??).

anyways, i am a regular reader of your entries and i have had most amazing time of my surfing time at your place. yaa, its true i never said 'thankyou' for those moments aur jub critize karne kee baari toh aa gaya munh utha ke :).

i think it might be just me but i felt kee there was something missing in 'that' post. OR it might be my mood ( i had my endsems going on then yaar aur main poore time aapka blog padte rahta tha). and i read the comments u got on that post and they have said it perfectly right kee u sudnt let one stranger affect ur life in this fashion.

personally, i am flattered kee i got featured in one of ur posts thanks to my unintentional intelligence.(smug)

http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-8k4mG6Ameqo4.mHD1ucNvNDL_Ebi
main maine bhi apni kuchh kalakaari dikhai hai. and i wud be honoured if u cared to read 'APRil fool manaya' entry. i think in some ways i have tried to copy you in my writing style but then again 'immitation is the sincerest form of flattery'. and yes i wrote that entry on 1st April.

chaliye keep rocking.

Hey! one of my friends pinged me your blog link today. Am still not done reading all your blogs.. but my colleagues thought I have gone crazy, for I was laughing all by myself reading your blogs. Its comparatively a free time of year for me.. not much work..so your blogs make a great read! and I must say your writing style is like this author, J.D. Salinger, who wrote a book called "Catcher in the Rye" well this book is my fav. And you remind me of this guy soo much!! Anyways.. good luck for everything.

A little off topic, Guys... I have a question. A week ago I played at this site:
[url=http://www.rivalspot.com]Rivalspot.com - Wii Live Tournaments[/url]
They say you can play online NHL game tournaments on any console for cash... had anyone tried that before? Looks like a cool idea...
Are there any other sites where you can play sports games for real moneys? I Googled and found only Bringit.com and Worldgaming.com but it looks these guys don't specialize in sport gamez. Any suggestions?
