Sentimental Measles

I might be one of a select few but I do happen to think Ben Stiller is a brilliant actor. I wondered why the hell he stopped making films considering his virgin attempt, ‘Reality Bites’ was a masterpiece. Well, more meaningful films atleast. Anyhow, watched Zoolander flash his Magnum and Blue Steel this evening and couldnt help but write about my patented look "The Howrat." Its the signature, grab your hands on anything FISHy and MEATy, doesnt-matter-how much-you’ve-just-stuffed-yourself, always-hungry look. Maybe I should create my own Photo Calendar chronicling the various stages I go through when I see good food. Indiscretion to Indigestion. Oh do I really need to mention Intoxication in there or is that just a given ? Coming Soon "The Bhukkad."

My Netflix popup assures me that ‘Dodgeball’ is on its way. Great ! Don’t we all want to grab life by the balls. Talking of balls, will someone please tell me what Beer Pong is ?? I was shunned by a couple of Americans the other day when I said we FOBs didn’t have Beer Pong in Bombay. In fact, forget Pong, there was no beer involved. I had to take the breathalyzer test if I walked home past 10pm ! Aah, Those 90’s.

Is it only me or does everyone else also have this one relative who has no other work other than spam your inbox with forwards of jokes and arbit shit approximately every 11.5 minutes ? Grrrr… Technology should be selectively made available.

So this thought crept into my thick head one fine day. I should do something productive with my evenings; I sooo need to get over this increasing fascination with working out, coming home, talking to and lookin myself in the mirror wondering when those skinny arms would get some definition. The year was 2003. It was just after my graduation. I was young and stupid. Unemployed but hopeful. Waiting for an absolution. Tom Petty played on my laptop : Free Fallin. It was all downhill from here on. I decided to start blogging. It was a noble thought. Somewhere between being really genuinely busy, reallly, really lazy and ridiculously pissed drunk, it got lost.

This virgin blog is the long overdue realization of that intention.
