Irony of life = Bangalore University.
Ironically, ever since I got an Ipod nano (8GB, black. Yes, I have one. Yes, I am showing it off.), my in-built Mp4 player is working overtime. Maybe its because my itunes doesn't have all the songs my head has. Anyway, the song going on in my head right now is Altaf raja's quintessential masterpiece, "tum to thehre pardesi, saath kya nibhao-gaaaaaaaaaaayyyy". The sublime nasal undertones in this song are awesome. No one on this planet can replicate those ethereal sentiments which bring instant bowel movements to one's soul. No one. Not even when they have loose motions. Not even when they are in some ICU in some 5 star hospital with loose motions.
I have not been writing at all for the past so many days, so I felt that maybe I thought that I should write something. Anyway, my mom is back and this time, we are going to buy the curtains. For sure. At least, that is what I hope. And none of you have told me anything about the Buddha that I asked for so many posts ago. Kya kar re re tum loga? Pindi ki meri....chindiya ho jari yaha meri zindagi....maa ki kiri kiri. Kya to bhi hai yaaron?
And, like I discussed with so many of you, (about 2 or 3 of you) please give me some ideas people. For the newbies, here is the info:
They say that at the end of your life, just before you 'go', all the important aspects in your life flash by you. Well, I want my flash to be the way I saw life, and I don't want to 'go' forgetting someone whom I should have remembered. So, here's the plan. We'll make a song. I have made a list of people who have influenced my life or thoughts in some way. They are going to star in the song. The background score would be 'Tashan mein' from the movie Tashan. Each person would be introduced with a 'the' attached to their name. So if you are on that list, please think of something which embodies your personality in about 15 seconds of airtime that you are going to get. I have listed out a few ideas for your ready reference.
The entire video will be in black and white. big fat man, I need your help with the logistics, the camera, the works. The song starts off with A.K doing any of his awesome Zippo tricks.
Megz - Walk on the beach picking up sea shells, see towards the camera, come running up to it, strike one awesome kung - fu pose, hit one brick, say "Oh, shit." and go back to picking up sea shells.
big fat man - play the guitar like Clapton. (the cigarette, I mean.)
couch - sitting on your arm chair, reading a book and drinking whiskey, smoking, suddenly bombarded by your guitar, flute, duke, A, T, camera, etc. Finally scratching your head and searching for a comb.
Goo - Look into the horizon, look at the camera and give that stupid grin of yours.
siddypiddy - whole family plays guitar wearing lungis. Syd starts crying.
Gee - On bullet. smoking cigar. Looking real shady.
Doing - sleeping on the table surrounded by lots of coffee cups. Suddenly gets up, goes out of woodys, does the doing over his scooter.
billy_beetle_dilly - Just stares at the camera for 20 seconds.
Bhaiyya - Lots of things for you to do. Like financial funding, paragliding, doing a donut in the corsa, etc. etc. I'll explain everything when you get here.
Bouncy bong & Red - Red reading Sir Arthur's book, while bouncy comes 'jhooming' and lands up on him. Freeze frame.
A.C - Take one Intel chip set and bang it on something.
Khadar - What else but the Zippo?
S&T - Send me a pic of you both.
A&D - Same like S&T.
Rohit - Pic of your face. That should do. Big time.
C.D - your orkut pic, that would do just fine.
UDay and Vjay - Pic.
Venki - Pic of your stupid grin.
Ajai - Maybe the bullet and Cathy, will discuss with you.
Bishu - Wearing full suit, drink tea at the local chai tupree.
Rama - Open your mouth and look at the camera like you would when you get your passport size photo taken.
Masta - Listening to Led Zeppelin, and shaking your head till you bang something or someone.
Cherry - Run.
Gautambuddha - Pic. (I'll tell you which one. Or suggest something good and I'll fly to where you are.)
N.S - Pic.
Mohit - Pic.
Summi ga - Pic of you staring at the sea during sunset. Jamaica, I think.
Burla - Pic of you head banging, hair let loose, Led Zeppelin T - shirt.
Radish - (Radhika) Pic of your family.
Rupak - Pic.
Kanta - Pic.
Raja - Pic of you smiling.
Don - Do that thing which you used to do in class.
Giri & Ms. Pa - Pic.
Deepi & Mr - Pic.
Harry & Sally - Pic.
Kunni & VamC - Pic.
Deepi & Mr - Pic.
Harry & Sally - Pic.
Kunni & VamC - Pic.
Chinnu & Sowj - Pic. (I am so sorry.)
Sandy (biradar) - Pic.
Giri, Pa, Deep, Mr, Kuns, VC, Harry, Sarah, Chinnu, Sowj, Sandy, I will tell you the poses after discussing with you.
Damn, I know so many people. Anyway, anyone who is not here should get in touch with me asap.
Thanks.
The Rambler.

Hey Rambler, The interpretations of friends are the way in which you see them, or the way in which they show you. Some things which i don't know about me, my friends know them better, just got to know few things from your footage, about myself. Pretty cool ha! And Load some good songs in your Biological MP3 player, until unless you have problems with constipation.
Dude, I love what you have thought of for me. Can I add to that..... can I actually practice kung-fu on some one I hate and beat him up plzzzzz..... I'd love to ra....
Orey Pandi naa peru ledu ..so pora I am not going to be a part of your song!
--Sowj
pic??? Whtever....;)

Bavundi raa nee idea. made me remember our childhood days.
cheesedi edo jara manchiga cheyyi. photolu gatra pampistanu kani baa raleedu ante khummutaanu.

ATB
Vijay
Eddies....definitely eddies. I think I'll put on my Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses.
"Adi's jus zis guy...."
... And she's buying a Stairway to Heaven .... -Page
An awesome idea dude! Its an honor to be a part of ur song ;)
I am sure I can find the pic u described for me in my somewhere in my collection..
-Ravi (Burla)
For you, I'll dust off the flute, restring my guitars and pass out with the effort.
ya bava...I need u to suggest my pose!!
Hmm.. banging an intel chip...not so coool....my pose could go like this....
" an open packet of bingo chips...but with IC's as chips instead of wafers, with downcast eyes and unkempt hair and with me eating the IC's...my life is always full of chips"
this is worth a try...what do you say...lets discuss further to add or delete something....
also i hope that your hope of maybe,possibly defenitely buying curtains with mom happens....
Dudue,
Do you want only my grin or my face as well,
Life has made me a much more serious person in the last few years, so can i put on a frown instead of a grin .........
Should we also picture one of the cheating cricket matches we played in the ground with vijai reciting "SANSKRIT" verses every now and then and YES how can you forget the VB school opposite your house.. I can't believe it did not "influence" you
venki
man, thats really a lot of people. you need a longer song than tashan. maybe you can film it on that titanic number "my #$@%^ will go on"
know what else goes on and on? my 16 month old daughter. she spends the first minute of the hour learning a new word and the next 59 repeating it. she also repeats stuff to make people do what she wants.
fortunately, you cannot repeatedly talk about this video to make it happen. that may actually require your coming over to bangalore.
the next time you come down, I promise to provide you a guitar and/or the phone number you have always wanted. let me know which of the two you want more, but be aware that it makes no difference.
I dont think you have changed much!Only thing is you have become more expert in confusing yourself!!
Cheers buddy!
Idea masth undi maam...add urself in too...u can keep on updating as time goes by...and u can look back and reflect upon, what it used to be, back then.kya khoya kya paya.
Abhi itha eech likru bhi.chal phir baad mein milenge.
Its great to see you bloggng.. Reading thru is like pissing your pants.Everyone can see it but only you can feel the true warmth.
Keep blogging dude cheers :)
Fine....I'd strike a pose with the Bullet, Kathy and Ray-Ban
.
Please think of another song for your video...
What else but Zippos????
I am not that good with Zippos ra..
anyway I will make a video of what best i can do with zippo and send it you.
BTW what the *%$# yu'll be doing in the video. YOu will see only those thigs you DID in the flash...
- Khadar
very very tochy, feely..gundelu pindesaavu...i need some kleenex...spoke with sowji, she says after due consideration, now that u have included her name too, she has forgiven u BUT still is contemplating...however i will join your quest for discovering whatever u seem to be after...hehe
It is a very humbling experience to know that you met the right people during your stay here. Thank you.
The planning and execution should commence shortly.
The end product should be ready in about three to four months time.
Lets do it.
Context : The pill discussion we had on IM.
Introspection on your life, values and what your life means in the broader context is important and in some ways inevitable. Everyone does it. Some to a greater depth than others.
If you are merely living the daily humdrum existence, then there's an important sense in which your life actually does not even belong to you. You're a cog in the machinery of the universe. You went through experiences, good or bad which may trigger some or the other reflexive "response". To live "life" fully would be to stop and question your own actions and responses, reshape your character into a mould of your own choice / liking and by your own design, and thereby craft a life that makes sense to you as you live it.
And then my friend at the end of it all, I assure you even grim reaper shall forget the real purpose of his visit as he watches the movie with you.
By the way, it is a dream come true for a narcissist like me to be considered for such a film ( get in touch with my PR Dept ) but would be damned if I ( and anybody for that matter ) appeared as "a" focal point...I want to be the sidekick in "your experience", not the experience and for that reason , however awesome the idea sounds, it cannot be captured coz the film has already been made inside... It is in your hands to make it more interesting and I will help in whatever way possible ( excluding monies but including JD )...
Cheers and GODSpeed
