Car Laughs With Pravin...

I drive around in an old Santro whose engine produces more sound than a 1500 watts stereo system. Most of the time I wont be the one handling the wheels. It'll be one of my best buds - Pravin.  Fact 1) He is a better driver.  Fact 2) I get easily distracted by cute gals passing by.

When we are cruising thro in my four wheeled metal of terror, we strike up sometimes funny, sometimes creepy n sometimes wicked conversations.

Car Laugh 1:

Pravin was talking about his elder brother who is doing his PG. In the middle of the convo,

Me:  Your bro saw many movies during his MBBS life ??

Pravin:  Nah, he wasn't the movie type of guy.

Me:  Oh. So, he is the patiently-reading-novels type..??

Pravin:  Naaah, He didn't even read a single novel da...

Me:  Then, What the heck did he do in those five and half years ??

Pravin:  (Didn't even think for a moment)  He fell in love with a girl da...

A few seconds of understanding silence between us two. Fact - I'm a movie maniac, seeing atleast 7 movies a week and Pravin reads a lotta novels n sees as many movies as I do. So, bottomline - We both didn't have a Girlfriend to spend (read: waste) time with. This sudden realisation struck us. Are we two loser guys stickin together ?? The panic thought didn't last.

Me:  He He... Your loosu brother wasted all his 5 damn years da... atleast we had a great time seeing movies n readin novels... n we acquired some great knowledge (?? ) too !!!  Poor dude didn't even enjoy his college life...

He agreed and we both had a great laugh, as if the realisation hadn't even dawned on us.

he he... we, the awesome loser dudes....

(Anyways, Pravin noted the point - Get a GF quickly. News Update - Pravin has achieved his love. He is nowdays dancing in dreams with Miami (pet name) and I still am single :)  n happily available !!! )

Car Laugh 2:

Pravin is a maniac driver. Period. Everyone who has been with him while on a car race or in his bad mood knows this. He was as usual driving maniacally thro the traffic when I said...

Me:  Dai dai... Slow down da... Kolai veri nayee (Mad dog begging for death)... slow the heck down !!
Pravin:  Hmmmm... YOU are callin me a Kolai veri nayee... remember the time when you killed that dog on the highway ??

(Fact - Once while I was driving pravin to bus stand, in a good speed... A stupid dog came in the way n didnt move either way n it was too late to hit the brakes. A loud bang. The dog ran (limped) to the sidewalk n we went in a hurry...)

Me:  Dai... I didn't kill it da... Might have just fractured it... While on my way back, I stopped the car and searched da... Didn't find any dog body !!!

Pravin:  Oh yeah... what wud you have done if you found one ??  mouna anjaliya selutheerupa?? (Would u've arranged a memorial for the dead dog??)
Me:  Naaah... I would have just took a picture of it and posted it on twitter  "Death on highway. Dr.Arun suspected."  and I would have received a lotta 'lols'  and 'OMG's... he he..

Laughter.

Car Laugh 3:

Happened during the same journey. As usual pravin drivin maniacally. A  4 or 5 year old came to the middle of the street suddenly. Pravin stopped the car at the correct time. My mind went back to the dog incident. If i were the one driving... That lil dude would've been dead by now... I'm too slow on brakes.

The lil' guy still didn't even move an inch...

Pravin:  Friggin' children... pissin me off... he is still not moving da... (He WAS getin really pissed)

Me:  What do you say... give full throttle man... hit the acclerator... lets take him out... he won't even leave a dent da... what do you say ??

Wicked Laugh. Good thing, that the child left the road by that time. he he...

P.S. - So, If you see a santro car with license plate no 1122... Stay the hell away !!!  :P

Blog Address Changed...

Its not a shift to wordpress or some other blogging platform. I'm staying with blogger. I'm getting bored of this blog for quite some time now. Just want to have a 'move on' and start something new. Start something original.

Yeah, Its always been itching me. The blog title, 'My Life As I Know It' - was not conjured by me... Copied it from some other guy's blog name. I was starting out new in blogging and just wanted some good name. So, I created a new blog with a name conjured by me n me only.  'Cupid's Lunatic' . It is the title I gave to one of My favorite writes.

My New Blog -  Cupid's Lunatic

So, with the new blog, I'm thinking about starting new. Starting something much simpler than this blog. Starting with the template... its just 'Minima - Black'.

Disclaimer - The blog is just gonna be my personal rants n stuff... nothing more than that. No stories or poems (I wasn't good at them anyway  :P )  So think twice before following me... I might just bore you to death.

P.S. - Oops... where is the comments section to this post ??  (You can see it in my new blog...) Marketing idea mateys !!!  :P

A pic of my old n soon to be deleted blog  :(

100th post... 100 smiles...

Yup, I've reached a 100 posts.  Its been a slow and un-steady journey. It has took me exactly one year, six months and ten days...  5.55 posts per month.  :)


Thanks you all for being there with me, commenting and encouraging my writes.


I started this blog when I entered my third year in college just because I was bored and didn't have anything else to do. But, now it means more to me than just a web log. I have connected with people from different backgrounds, different traditions and upbringing, none of whom I would have met if not for this space. I'm glad to say I've made a few friends along this journey.


So, for the inspirations and support they have given me... I just wanna say a few words about each of em and what they mean to me.


Family Comes First:


Raja and Kumar  -  My cousins and blogging support from my family. Raja is very mature with his writes, blogs his passions, posts amazing tamil poems with a new n different theme in every post. love reading about his nostalgic posts... Kumar is tries his hand on every genre of writing... Love, suspense, horror, acrostics, everything... he's been kinda-not blogging nowadays... hope he returns soon... got to know more about both of them thro their blogs.


Friends Next:


Ganapathy and Shiva -  My college friends. Shiva blogs and Ganapathy is happy with commenting and Me n Shiva are happy with ottifying Ganapathy. Its always a pleasure to blog about our misadventures (Read: Ganapathy's love entanglements) in college and wait for their comments. Luv to read the college gossips from Shiva's blog thro his puzzling narrative. :)


Pranesh - Unique commentator... He actually reads my blog in full flow, all the posts, then comments and then calls me n asks why I wrote this? Wha I thought like that?? What were my view regarding that subject ??  etc etc... motivates me to write more abt college life...


Blogging Friends are the best :)


Aparna - Writes amazing, pristine to the detail stories n poems. my favourite post by her - skulls and skeletons. I got to know of WL thro her only... thanks a thousand times for that Aps.


Arjun - Comedy mama... had fun reading about his weirdest dreams n strange encounters in life... He tells about himself as a serious guy... But, I honestly don't believe him... No serious guy could write such comic posts. Awesome guy.


Artz - A virtual sis. although I'm a few minutes older than her, she shows way more maturity in years (Patti). Had a lotta laughs by teasing her. I dunno what others think, but, she is intimidating. A person of same age,  havin a matured outlook and a demanding job, when I'm still feeding off my parents... he he.. intimidating !!!  :P


Asit Dhal - Honesssssst n true to his soul blogger. Has a comic way of narrating his life n happenings... still remember one of his posts - 'the asshole within me'...  luv his attitude when it comes to life and gals.

Fiducia - Her poems are kinda uniquely good... dunno why I feel so.... Unique. she has a different style of writing I think. She has been regular in commenting n encouraging my writes.

FL @ Mridul - Eccentric dude. Buddy from WL. Absolutely love his romantic writes n penguin grasshopper posts...

Kajal @ Pink Orchid - She'll always be 'pinky' to me. Highly encouraging abt my writes in WL. I know her only thro her writes...  A gifted poetess. I wish her a bright future in life n love n marriage.

Nuchu - Chweet sis. Always on a perky mood. The blogger whom I share many similarities with.. we both are lazy and we both hate what we do, she, her job  and  me, my course. Always been a great support to me. She has an amazing marriage/love story  and following her blog has always been a joy.


Prats - The surviving phoenix. Her passion for blogging amazes me. Writes amazing poems with simple words which never fail to convey a deep sense of love n pain (been askin her to write a chweet poem for a long time now). PLZ don't delete your blog again.  :)


Pulkit - Dunno which of his writes I like more.. His hyper romantic poems with a great style or  His themed story series... He is good in both of em. One of my favourite bloggers.


Rose - I think she was my first friend from WL. Avery sweet friend, always brings me smiles. But, I've lost touch with her nowadays  :(  still remember that combo effort to write a dark post.


Rosh and Sona ka - The awesome mom n daughter pair, ever supportive friends. Love Rosh's small stories... She's writing matured writes at 12 !!! Her road to become an author is BRIGHT. You must blog Sona ka !! Sona is a super caring n kind sis... Love chatting with them.


Saim @ CN - Love His Metaphors !!!  period.  Read his blog even before I was a regular blogger.  His write 'Shades Of Rain - Angst' is starred in my Greader. The only blog post which is starred in mine. Simply love his writes.

Sonshu - The lil' one. .Luv her cute acrostics. Her passion for blogging at an age of 15... kinda makes me feel like the 'past generation'...  Wish her great luck on her aspirations of becoming an author.

Stephen - Stibu mama. what to tell about him... dude actually researches before writing his posts. He is a great friend n one of the co-owners of WL. love his writes on relationships. He was the first blogger whom I actually spoke with in phone.. he has a squeaky tamil. Networking Harry Potter.

Vinu @ Leo - My motivating stimulus !!  He writes amazing poems with the same speed I eat thro lays chips. Poetry comes naturally to him. He's a sensitive guy n an ever helping friend. Sorry for that one time I hurt you man.


Yamini Meduri -  I initially knew her as a sweet poetry blogger. But, she is way more than that... her poems on various social awareness themes were jus awe inspiring...  Love mattading in telugu with her... :) chweet friend to have...


P.S. - Pheww.... Took me about an hour now... Hope I didn't miss out anyone...  Once again, thank you all my friends for your support n motivation !!!   Hoping to start out new with the next post...
