My Friend Sancho

All generalizations are false. Including this one. -Albert Einstein Yesterday, a colleague was mentioning about a poster in our office with this quote. At midnight it was proved by Amit Varma . I finished reading the book My Friend Sancho . Autographed by him and you can read the tale of that misadventure here . I was fairly cynical when I read over and over in Amit's blog about the book being a love story. I for one didn't associate his writing with love. I was expecting a lot of humour (there is lots and the book contains several laugh out loud moments) and a lot of libertarian view points (a smattering of it and pretty well meshed into the story). What I got in the end after reading the book was a strong empathy for Abir, the protagonist. I was in his position and tensed which of the three endings he imagined would happen. The protagonist is someone I can deeply associate with. I suspect many other 24 year olds would do the same. He is single. Confident. Loafs around at wor...

This is it

Weekends typically starts of on a desperate note. The wake up call is usually either one of the following: a) Nature calls. Calls me an asshole and warns me of dire consequences if I don't enter the loo within seconds. b) Stomach calls. Calls me with a growl. Need some food. Or if you really want your oesophagus for brunch... If its point a, the level desperation may heighten if the bathrooms aren't free. If its point b, all that I do is wake up and after a couple of hours head out to have lunch. Oh! The wakeup time is 11-12 by the way! Friday night included a very heavy dinner with lots of beer thanks to having no breakfast and virtually no lunch. Wakeup call at 9 this Saturday. My mom's friend was in Bangalore visiting her son. Invite to lunch on Sunday. Lunch invites are gleefully accepted these days since I am really fed up of eating mediocre food. Great food is available at the cost of a very long walk and rather high price. I ended up not going as laziness took over m...

Zoozoos revealed

May be you got this on your mail or twitter. May be you didn't. I am posting this since I feel vindicated for having a hard on for Zoozoos. Now you perverts don't read into the script too much. I am neither pedo nor gay! From BlogStuff From BlogStuff

Appraisal

Was checking out stuff and found this Friday five . Since I dislike conventions, I decided to do the tag on a Tuesday and on a mid-May. The original rule meant a report card for the quarter. I am turning into the report card for the mid-year along with anticipation for the month and a half. Lets see how this pans out! Would you say 2009 so far is meeting expectation, exceeding expectations, or failing to meet expectations? Difficult one. I am not easily satisfied with stuff. That said, I am fairly optimistic about the month and half ahead. My answer would be meeting expectation. What letter grade would you give yourself for your performance at work or school? Similar to Q 1. I would give myself a C if things go as planned. Otherwise a D. On a scale from 1 to 10, how happy have you been with the weather so far in 2009? Too hot for comfort this summer is. Talking like Yoda its making me. Give the weather a 4, will I. Which of the Motion Picture Association of America’s film ratings woul...

Happy Birthday Amma

Happy Birthday Amma! You are not going to see this post and I hope you never will! This blog contains a snapshot of everything bad about her only sonny. He wants you to live in a world where her son is innocent and uncorrupted. Still I am writing this. Words give me a sense of power and a power of expression. My only outlet. You did everything you could to raise me as a good human being. Took me into your arms when I had no option but to cry helplessly as school work piled up owing to my tardiness. You sat up several nights writing my records and drawing pictures that I should have made while I slept blissfully. You faced the flak and the shame for my bad academics. You defended me with fire in front of those who expressed doubts on my future. You walked the tightest of ropes when we were financially insecure. Never let anything come in the way of my education. You catered to my wildest convictions and let me do whatever I wanted. You let me pour our precious savings down the drain for...

Malluminati

An attempt was made on my life this morning. Who? The Mallu Illuminati or we can call them Malluminati. I had tweeted about a mallu conspiracy to take over the world a couple of weeks back. Strictly. For. Fun. Being jobless can be a bitch at times. Some people found my previous post in accordance with the theory and even warned me that I might have strange visitors at night. Remember! Tweets are to be parsed bottom-up! flyyoufools says: @rockus So you found the clues about the Mallu Illuminati's plan for world domination? Expect a strange visitor tonight, and wont be zoozoos rockus says: Yup! Draft still there! New post: Zoozoo and a perverted Mallu. Previous post. I skipped town on that weekend and left for Thrissur. I think the baby who was with me in the coupe was a malluminati mole. Picture is indicative. From here . Imagine this kid when he is 6 months old with the same expression. You get the idea! So I land in Thrissur. More on the trip later. We have more pressing issu...

Zoozoo and a perverted Mallu

I am a big fan of the Vodafone Zoozoo ads. Fabulous job done by O&M. I was awed when I got to know that these critters are actually live action and not animation. Confession: After I got to know that these Zoozoos are young ladies in a fancy outfit, I have been fantasizing about them! Any outfits available for some kinky time in bed? Heck by the look of my love life I should get a zoozoo blowup doll instead! Okay. I'll stop turning you off. And yeah...these Zoozoos are mallus. Closely listen to what the male Zoozoo is saying. Scene 1: Parotta, Parotta, Parotta Scene 2: At 0:15 Puttum Kadalem Scene 3: Kappa-Meen, Kappa-Meen, Kappa-Meen All three would be familiar to any self respecting mallu out there. Three of our favourite dishes! If not, pics follow for your amnesiac brains: Some links for all the Zoozoo voyeurs...err...fans out there: Zoozoo Facebook Fan Club Vodafone IPL minisite which features Zoozoos extensively Zoozoo twitter feed which is pretty much useless Leaving for...

Confession Room

Long story short. Anjali got the Honest Weblog Award with a conditional tag included. Write a post on 10 honest things about yourself. Since she has been gracious enough to open the tag for the not-so-honest and unscrupulous rest of us, I thought I would do this! After all, I need to justify the blog title at times! 1. I started this blog way back in 2005 with the notion of being totally anonymous. Write about deep rooted evil within my mind! Minutes later I realised I did not have much to write! So you are reading this blog in its current form! 2. I started planning on taking over this world right from the age of 6. Planning still underway! 3. I am a little too optimistic about every thing. 4. I cannot hold a grudge for long. Just cannot hate people. I can dislike them though. 5. I hold all my relationships with great value. Gets irritated and depressed when the feeling is not mutual. 6. I have a good long term memory and things I did when I was younger still shames me. Even the smal...
No posts in April. It would be a lie to say that I was busy. I was waltzing my way through life which culminated with a night of 10 beers. Quarterly company party was last night and was awesome! This month promises a lot of work, which I hope get me to post a lot more! I bought an personal media player last month which cements my fear of being deaf in a few years! Specifically bought an iAudio 7 since it supports a shit load of formats and I have a sizeable ogg collection as well. Pure listening bliss when combined with my Sennheiser headset. On the downside of music listening, I updated Ubuntu to the latest version and Amarok got updated to version 2.0. It sucks. Sucks balls and dicks. Trying to find a new player to meet my whims. We had a nice, fat brunch today. Fat in the literal sense. Woke up 10. Got our lazy bums to Stones pub at 12. Coupla pitchers of beer, Pork, 2 dishes of Beef, and a Mutton dish to boot. On our way back went to DC Books in Indira Nagar. Bought a lot of books....
