utterly batterly delirious

Sa….a… Re .. e ..e.. e…Ga…a.. a.. Ma…a ..a….Pa…a a a ...
Saturday, at midnight this is what I did squeaking and squawking my vocal cords to brave the chill nip in the air coming back from “Bridget Jones’ Diary (II) “ , a movie which I was on pins and needles to watch. So, here I am talking about my hidden talent. I am a very good singer. It’s just that nobody knows it. The secret of my melodious voice, if I have to put it simple is that I watch late night movies and do the riyaaz while coming back on the roads of Bangalore. Nightingale !

On Sunday, I was at J’s place. Broom and brush, the brother sister duo did their pre-christmas cleaning. I gave them moral support by playing music and not interfering. Made myself comfortable in the kitchen. Prepared utterly batterly delirious khichdi. You can see from my post, the after effects of the khichdi. Some brothers ate it and now, they are delirious in public claiming “it’s my rice”, “it’s my dal”. How do you separate the two when the khichdi is already done?

Talking about the movie, the first was better according to me. Renee was still cute, fat and round. She concluded, “it’s possible to find happiness” Umm, it is definitely possible.

An sms that i got as a forward :

IIT: Islamic Institute of Terrorism.
JEE: Jehadic Entrance Exam
IIM: Institute of infiltration Management
CAT: Career in Alqueda and Taliban
IAS: Iraq After Saddam
Mtech: Masters in Terror Techno
GATE: General Aptitude in Terror and Extrimism.”

Peace be with you!

where have you been?
been so long since your last post.

i had a choice to watch edge of reason or ocean's twelve. both of them sequels and to be approached with high expectations. But ocean won simply because it had Julia Roberts and Zeta Jones. :) choice made and had a nice thick jacket for the ride back home. No singing for me :)

I agree, first one was better. And yes, I also sing well. My talent is also lying wasted.

hope this time, J's brother didn't save some khichdi for his boss ;-)
****
“it’s possible to find happiness”....but real test is in the journey to find it.

Sequels are rarely better than the original movies. I havent heard very great reviews about oceans 12 either *sigh I atleast hope renee's conclusions about life are
dependable...“it’s possible to find happiness” Umm, fingers crossed.
