"Hey, what are you thinking about ?"
"Nothing"
"As usual huh"
"Yaa (An embarassed grin)"
There is something about C that simply makes me go * smile * - dunno why but this is one person who never ceases to amaze me. Well, for starters, there are very few people who 'listen' better than me and she is DEFINITELY one of them. Trust her to use a word where people would use sentences and still make a real impact.
How many people do I know who possess the patience to sit through 2 hrs of a Spanish movie on VCD (sans English subtitles) without imploring me to Fast Forward or simply stop the damn thing?
Dunno if it was all in a dream but did the petite, 'stinky jeans' wearing brunette-with-an-attitude living perpetually on a dinner menu of pop-corn and maggi (kya combo hai ma'am) actually cook those yummy aloo parathas yesterday for me ? Doff my hat - they were the best I've ever had (I swear tis no exaggeration) and I can't but help feeling J about that lucky 'someone' :-) Thanks fair lady.
Ooops...
And since I have said the forbidden word once [;-)] I might as well thank you for everything else - the 80 kmph bike rides on Outer Ring Road when you tried so desperately to kill me, the endless supply of Wrigley's in your house esp my favorite white wrapper wala, that stupid smelly perfume you forced me to buy (and I paid 700 for it...wail..wail..), those huge books on Jung and his philosphy you forced down my throat......ok ok.. I shall stop.. I can actually hear you sniggering "What rubbish" :-)
8 months.. Whew, its been really fast, hasn't it ? I was always a sucker for B'day requests so the present is on its way. But the answer to that question you've always fired at me - nah - we'll reserve it for another occasion :-p
Happy Birthday buddy gal !!
ps: Happy Birthday also to Thomas who turns 72, sorry, 27 today....Belated Birthday wishes to Amit Gheesh and advance Birthday wishes to Dhruv.

"Ignore reality there's nothing you can do about it)
Some people
Don't worry
'Bout nothing
Don't know what's going on
I'm not one
Who can't say they're sorry
I just care what's going on
There's more important
Than making sure your watch look just right
And second hand opinions
Don't make you look any smarter
Don't you think
Don't you think
Don't you think that maybe it's time, yes it's time
Time you started thinking
Time you started thinking
Time you started thinking
Time you started thinking
And don't just sweeten up the taste
Brother shots brother
But meanwhile your fixing up your face
You're not affected by the truth
Unless it's on your doorstep
Deodorise your paradise
No point in getting crazy
Don't you think
Don't you think
Don't you think that maybe it's time, yes it's time
Time you started thinking 'bout things in the back of your head
Someone said before you turn a blind eye
Hear a bell ring sex sells everything
But I don't buy it so don't try it
Sleeping in the small world head in the sand
Better wash your hands, make a new plan
There's more important things
Than making sure your shoes walk just right
Ignore reality there's nothing you can do about it
Ignore reality there's nothing you can do about it
Ignore reality there's nothing you can do about it
The clothes you wear don't make the man
It's just another party
Don't you think
Don't you think
Don't you think that maybe it's time
Don't you think
Don't you think
Don't you think that maybe it's time
Time you started thinking
There are more important things
Than making sure your watch looks just right
Your second hand opinions
Don't make you look any smarter
You're not affected by the truth
Unless it's on your doorstep
Deodorise your paradise
No point in getting crazy
Yes, its time
Time you started thinking
Time you started thinking
Time you started thinking
Time you started thinking
and when you cant do your job because your head is filled
with stupid stuff and cant do math, listen to george michael
who is a diogenes in disguise.........
Back to life, back to reality
Back to the here and now (oh yeah)
Show me how
Decide what you want from me
Tell me maybe I
Could be there for you
Oooh
However do you want me
However do you need me
However do you want me
However do you need me
Back to life
Back to the present time
Back from a fantasy, yeah
Tell me now
Take the initiative
I'll leave it in your hands
Until you're ready
Heeey
However do you want me
However do you need me
However do you want me
However do you need me
I live at the top of the block (top of the block)
There's no more room (no more room, no no no no)
For trouble or fuss
Need a change
A positive change
(Loook . . .) it's me writing on the wall
However do you want me
However do you need me
Back to life
Back to the day we had
Let's play this foolish game
Hear me out
Don't let me waste away
Make up your mind so
I know where I stand
However do you want me
However do you need me
(repeat to fade)
Dr.AdamSmith to Mr.Ramki
"Let us suppose that the great empire of China, with all its myriads of inhabitants, was suddenly swallowed up by an earthquake, and let us consider how a man of humanity in Europe, who had no sort of connexion with that part of the world, would be affected upon receiving intelligence of this dreadful calamity. He would, I imagine, first of all, express very strongly his sorrow for the misfortune of that unhappy people, he would make many melancholy reflections upon the precariousness of human life, and the vanity of all the labours of man, which could thus be annihilated in a moment. He would too, perhaps, if he was a man of speculation, enter into many reasonings concerning the effects which this disaster might produce upon the commerce of Europe, and the trade and business of the world in general. And when all this fine philosophy was over, when all these humane sentiments had been once fairly expressed, he would pursue his business or his pleasure, take his repose or his diversion, with the same ease and tranquillity, as if no such accident had happened. The most frivolous disaster which could before himself would occasion a more real disturbance. If he was to lose his little finger to-morrow, he would not sleep to-night; but, provided he never saw them, he will snore with the most profound security over the ruin of a hundred millions of his brethren, and the destruction of that immense multitude seems plainly an object less interesting to him, than this paltry misfortune of his own."
Would have been a great read on a lighter vein but when its about 150000 people, I find it difficult to smile leave alone LOL.
Thanks anyway for the song Ram :-)
