tHe yEaR tHaT wAs : 2007

Here comes December and one can hear words like targets, goals and achievements made by individuals/companies in different domains. I recollect this portentous year with those events that one can call "Comedy Of Errors" :))


1. CHEF: My friends call me a good cook. On a faithful saturday night, my stomatch started growling, making strange noises. So at 1 a.m, i decided to make "Maggie". Around 8 a.m, we could smell something unusual, but the unshakable faith on the "Fire Alarm" made us believe nothing was wrong inside the apartment. At 9 a.m one of us with lot of effort got up to find the maggie and the cooker turned into charcoal...... I forgot to switch-off the STOVE:)

2. CRAZY ME: COLD-Not my cup of tea. My roomie calls me THERMOSTAT. As asked in Shantaram "Will you restrain or go ahead with an option where you will fall but will get some pleasure in doing so". I would say count me in later genre. so camping for four days, when the temperature was as low as 37 F, was one of my craziest decision. Thanks to my friends with heads on their shoulders and ears shut to my whining, we camped for a day. Believe me, i almost froze(how did i do it???). hhhmmmm... will i camp again in winter !!!!!!... Y not ...Crazy me :)

3. Story of A^2 : Thankfully not me this time. My roomie "A1" is stupendously great with maps and directions. Last year,2006, we were enthralled , when a short trip from Mrytel beach to Charlotte got extended to Florida. [ Charlotte is located north of Mrytel and Florida South of Mrytel :)]. "A2", the driver, went crazy.

This year, we come again with the perfect driver-navigator tale. One Saturday afternoon we congregated at our residence not to discuss india's next five year plan, but to plan our day. N and Me shopping. A2 and his friends decided to explore the mountains. A1 planned to slouch at home.

I miss Indian roads, whose vastness gives us black carpet welcome and confidence to move without fear and ofcourse maps.

On these barren, perfect roads "A2" had no other option but to call A1 for directons to the mall. As luck would have it, instead of reaching mall he landed in front of the restaurant. :))


4.A Perfect Filter : When you don't find tea filter. This option isn't bad? ain't it?




5. Oops what went wrong with this?

6. Dangerous Me:
