The Fuzz Around your Face!!!

"So What happened to you?" inquired the weird little woman
I literally looked around cause I had no reason to believe that a question like that could be addressed to me by someone who knew me as less as I knew her. (And that explains what??? God! How do people understand what I say ever?)
But anyways, gifted as I am with the highly tuned powers of deep perception and penetration, (couldnt resist... Apologies!!!) figured that it was me who was being addressed with that very irrelevant query and so I responded with the most appropriate *you know me not, who the hell are you and what do you mean* frown and the very intelligent and extremely academic and time tested and weathered
"huh?"
And then came the question which I figured would explain everything but instead it lead me to actually look all around the room to figure who in the hells name was the WLW (weird Little woman) talking to. And the question went as follows:
"Are you a Muslim?"
I gagged (no religious reasons merely cause I realised she was in reality talking to me). And then I got my breath back and whatever little composure I could and said "Ummm... erm No"
And then it dawned
"So why are do you have a beard?"
And I actually went into the whole bio lesson of how boys contain in some quantity some kind of a weird fluid which is called testosterone which enables them to sprout fuzz all over their face and pay homage and tribute to our very wise and trouser less ancestors- The Apes.
So I said but I gagged and squirmed "umm because it happens to boys when..."
I am quite glad I didnt finish that sentence cause I am not sure I could have without lot of sarcasm and a fact about me is I am not sarcastic at all. I am the least sarcastic being on this earth. I would go as far as to say that if tomorrow humanity ceased to exist and I was the last human to have survived then sarcasm would have been extinct already... Though I know there could be debated as to how much of a human I am to be the last of the race but we will leave that for another day.
"So you girlfriend left you?" the pragmatic WLW
Which I heard as "Your girlfriend dumped you???"
And I was stumped... I mean how would she know ???
And I said in almost a whisper"erm I dont have a girlfriend..."
"So then why havent you shaved?"
And I just couldn't figure out the answer to that one cause when I did physics I knew of no equation which would translate to the fact that having a beard is directly proportional to having been dumped
or
being clean shaven equals to having a girl friend...
Did anyone else cover this in their syllabi???
I would like a quick appraisal to those two equations. So I can handle the questions better next time... What say tutor me???
=================

And so I stretched the my bladder to the optimum limits as I heard him relay his encyclopedia. Even his words are hyperlinked...
And so I continued to test the limits of my bladder for over two hours and walked to bliss in a very awkward fashion...
A relief ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Slash!!! Music Playing... NO PAIN NO GAIN!!!







Beep! Beep!

The phone...

It doesnt seek attention too often now...

It doesnt often ring.

Thats all it did once...

Evrytime I see it I feel it I realise its presence on me every connection it has ever forged for me comes alive... and it was always a pleasure... I guess it still is more or less...

The first message I received

Connected yet???


None anymore... Gods dont care and Goddesses dont need to. I am damned!!!



But then who isnt???


The Beep continues...

"Hello???"

"Hello Sir..."

The same voice, I heard years ago...

Three to be precise...


" All TR's cleared..."

Silence...

I let out air...

I was speechless... Every word we had ever said every bit we had ever sweat every drop we ever bled every push up we ever pushed every mile we ever ran every dream we ever discussed...

" You Are In..."

I realised my mouth was too dry... He was in...
All disappoinments All tears
Every Insult Every condesendence
Rifles Slammed Feet stamped
Songs lived and Moments etched as lore

Respect
Honour
Courage
OLQ's

HIS SYNONYMS

HE WAS IN...

" Nah, the merit list isn't out yet..."

" Doesn't Matter... You are in... Thank God..."

I said it but didnt believe it... It was all him...

He wanted to be there... He could be anything but he was in...

I had nothing to say...

Salute

YOU HAVE IT IN YOU>>> (I never did never will...)

ALWAYS DID>>>

ALWAYS WILL>>>
+++++++++++++++++++++


VOIDS HAVE MORE MATTER AND SUBSTANCE THAN ALL OF MY EXISTENCE CAN



VOIDS HAVE MORE UTILITY...
-Ponderer



+++++++++++++++++++++++



Everything was just right...



I collected the ball and spun in air dodged the defence in air and shot... And missed!!!

then missed again
And then again
and then Again
and then some more





My shoes are lousy... that hardly ever mattered...
They are bigger than me... HAHA yeah like that can even be an excuse
They have been coached....
Missed again
and again and some more....
Basics Basics... Shoot and miss... Damn it!!!
Since when have I started giving myself excuses???
It never mattered before...



Am I over???




I could communicate once and now I can hardly limp my way in the boundaries...
No Orchestra this... pandemonium has been let lose...
Am I over???





Shot and Yes you guessed it missed...


I must be...




Like hell!!!

UP YOURS... I am over when I decide and till I decide...

IT AIN'T OVER TILL IT'S OVER...




I FALL AND I GET UP...

My forte to get up after a fall and be arrogant and ignore that I am finished...

Pass collected

Dribble
Dodge
Spin another in air
Shoot
And score...


I am back and push me cause I come back harder...

Pain my stimulant!!!

BURP!!!


New year... the big deal??? it is double 007...


Why wonder why there should be a big deal??? I mean why not just accept that we have been through another 365 days of strife and conflicts, failures and relative successes, personal and otherwise, and we should just shout in glee?


So well Welcomed the new year at the London bridge... alone amongst strangers... Got separated from my crowd of friends... I walk too good damn fast and don't see where I am going... and hence get lost but this time around i was looking at the sky... I was hoping to see an epiphany to strike... only saw wisps of smoke and crackers going off... T and phaaji and then the others were whom I wished the new year wishes to...


Shrieking all around people jumping around greeting the first few moments of 2007...


Our group subdued or retrospective I wonder which it was more... I was still waiting for an epiphany... and also was trying to get pics and getting them all out of focus... and to think I was trying to project complete lack of excitement...


I had greeted new year with respect... Didnt eat anything in the waning hours of 2006 and didnt eat anything till 4 am in 2007... Also London winter is quite a hilarious joke... hugged the new year in black...


Dont believe me? Ask anyone who was belting chocolate and bread in the tube... I resisted all temptations... rishi munni's would be quite impressed...


Went to pee in HILTON with phaaji and drummer... quite a loo that... Walked in as if we owned the place... worked I guess since no one chucked us out... Walking out Phaaji and I promised to meet in ten years in the loo of the Hilton again... though I guess he would be able to afford the room then...


+++++++++++++


Brit men pee in street corners too...


and not just a corner just about anywhere place where they assume no one can see them...


++++++++++++++


You know you are an Indian in UK when:


1. you miss auto rickshaws as an alternate to public transports... even bloody buses follow a time table here. You miss it and you dont have an alternate but wait for the next one... the taxis charge a ransom and need to be booked... GOD! what organised chaos... you dont have a plan B unlike in India where there always is a way...


2. You realise that the bread you purchased there and didnt care how much anyone belted it, here you actually wonder how you can economise on bread... OMG!!! its bloody bread... developed country which you decide???


3. When instead of eating only warm delicacies you eat ice cream in the centrally heated dorms...


4. When smoke alarms and fire drills seem quite a novel idea.


5. When you cook on electric metal things called hobs and think they are weird instead of a gas choolah...


6. When the bathroom allows you to shave, poo and bathe at the same time because of its miniscule size instead of the different rooms u have at the PG you lived for three years...


7. When you go buy milk at a superstore and find it quite tormenting... the friendly neighbourhood doodh waala missed....


8. When you find a haircut becomes an annual ceremony owing to its cost... £8= Rs 720 only


9. When you start missing mosquitoes and flies because you have always found them prevalent rain, winter or shine...


10. When you think a million times of whether to buy Parle-G and Maggi and eventually not buy it...


++++++++++++++
Nice look!!! the beard.... quite rugged that...


Comments on unkempt appearance by French, American and African women (very kind women)


People just love to kid me...


FOCL each time!!!


+++++++++++++++


A Britisher knocked me off my rockers when he spoke about sita aur gita and burning train with vivid details... they are quite long and very sensual and colourful...


A German called the music of the movies he caught quiet cheesy... had to agree with him when he sang it too... though couldnt quite recall what he was singing in the heavy accent...


++++++++++++++++


I always get caught between two warring women!!!


And I cant handle women either stressing or crying and when they fight I feel I might get belted and hence dont quite know how to react... miss T and SAM the two in mention here!!!


Are there male right activists???
