Weekend meet-up with Chandrooo

Its Friday today. The most loved day of the week. The day went off superb. Had fun in office, had Subway sandwhich for lunch (which I am currently addicted to), my report got approved, and finally in the evening met up Chandrooo aka Mahalakshmi. at Inorbit Mall. 

It is always fun to catch up with your college friends and nobody can fill up that space of happiness what with all the fun filled times we had during college days. 

Well atleast I tried to have fun ;) It gets a lil difficult for a person like me to bunk lectures and go out when your group comprises of you (interested in doing only keedas), college topper (Chandrooo), Class CR (Naayeee aka Gayatri) and an above average student (scholar for a student like me :)) - Prachi. Out of the 4 gang members, only me and Chandrooo are the priviledged ones of being single so we decided to catch up today. Chandrooo has shifted to a different city and had come down for Diwali.

It was fun to recollect the old times, which ofcourse my dear friend had to help me recollect all thanks to my short term memory loss. We talked about our psycho professors, Gayatri's 'Naaaye', Lunch @ Rangoli, and ofcourse the hot topic for girls our age - How to face/avoid marriage :). 

What's funny was Chandrooo is much more chilled out not. No more the righteous iyer girl that i knew who would scold me for my stupid keedas. Surprising pointers about Chandrooo which will make any SIES 2006 BMS batch students faint for a moment:

• Chandroo has gone clubbing (but for an office party) and even won a prize for her dancing skills:) 
• She has read Mills & Boons in 10th std itself
• She uses the FUCK word often off late
• She corrected me with the middle finger signage
• She even said that inter-caste marriages are not bad :)

But the best part is it was fun meeting her. Had fun Chandrooo. Your story about how you were baptized as Chandroo will follow soon.

Ye Dosti Hum Nahi TodenGAY!!!

In one of my earlier posts, I had mentioned about Sheru's two best friends - Chantu & Bantu. Sheru's life history is incomplete without the mention of these 2 :)

Let's meet those two cartoons.

While in this pic, Chantu looks chatty and Bantu-the quiet one. Looks can are deceptive. 

Chantu is the quiet, intelligent and always-on-alert dog. He is the peacemaker when Sheru & Bantu get into a        paws-claws fight. He instinctively knows when his friends are in trouble and need help. Whether its babysitting Sheru in our absence or ensuring that Sheru doesn't get himself into unnecessary trouble, he can be counted on to get the job done. A matured boy in the company of immature buffoons :)

Bantu is exactly the opposite Chantu and very much like Sheru (the buffoon gang). He is the palyful, innocent, careless pup who always gets himself into trouble or does some masti with Sheru and puts tha blame on Chantu :)

But these 3 together make an awesome threesome gang.

Death as a Selfish Motto

The situation in Mumbai today is tensed with the critical condition of Balasaheb Thackeray. The 86 year old Shiv Sena chief is struggling for his life (as claimed by the media). However, there are also rumours that he has already passed away on 14th Nov. While the situation is not a happy one, what is even more sad is the mentality of people. 

People are hoping that he dies on a Monday so that they don't have to come to office on Monday and enjoy a long weekend at the cost of someone's death. People were also happy today because they got to go home early from office today as Mumbai started closing down with a fear of ruckus incase of his death.

It is disgusting that for a mere one-day leave, people are betting or hoping for his death on a particular day and even planning out their vacations. The same set of people make a hulla out of a death in their family without realizing that the person for whom they are discussing death is somebody's relative - somebody's Father, Brother, Leader, Inspiration, Uncle, etc.

HYPOCRACY!!!

Though I not a great fan of politics and people dealing with it, it is appalling that people have stooped down to the maximum and have turned into Selfish Machines.

When a surprise visitor visits

It was Saturday evening and i could see that Sheru was lost in deep thoughts. Jhol hai boss. Big problem awaited.

 Was waiting for him to come out from his trance mode and out with his keeda running inside his head.

Finally he came to me with his proposal of going out and getting wet in the rains with next day being Sunday. Since it had been a long time since i got drenched in rain purposely, the idea seemed exciting to me. So we planned to go to the Worli Sealink the next day. Our hero was already prepared with his red polka dotted shorts for his rendezvous with rain 2012.

Sunday came. We got early so that we could get ready and leave by 11.00am. Suddenly the door bell rang and We had a surprise visitor (for an overnight stay)!!!! a family friend from Timbuktoo. Worst part was that the visitor was pesky and irritating. What can i say more? All hell broke loose.

This visitor saw our cute lil cat (he thought it was a cat - starting point of irritation for Sheru :) and started playing around with Sheru who just wasn't in the mood as our plan got cancelled coz' of the visit. But still Sheru relented and tried playing with the him. But the guy started poking and tickling Sheru for fun. And the temperature had already shot up to cool him down.

Sheru growled stereoscopically (if there is any such word) popped out his tongue as if to say "Get lost you moron".

And boy the look on the visitor's face was worth seeing when he realised that all this while he was messing around with a Lion :)

A dash of mango infusion into my body

Well even though the much awaited MANGO season has almost come to an end, I am still receiving good, ripe Alphonso mangoes (my fav) all thanks to my sis-in-law's dad. 

Today again was a special day but with a difference. I prefer having mangoes with spoon (Sophistication!!!) with some Chaat Masala ka tadka. But this time i decided to make mango smoothie.

I put da cut mango pieces into a blender and topped it with huge scoops of fresh cream, 12-13 drops of vanilla essence and ice cubes and blended it. Voila!!!

Amazing Mango smoothie (unexpected for it to turn out well :)) was ready in 5 mins. Served it with mango pieces on top and it just melted into my mouth.

Must try before all the mangoes in this earth vanishes till next year.

MANGO truly da king of fruits.
