Different Strokes – III

11/01/08 8.50 p.m

Firstly, Wish you all a very happy and a prosperous new year…Quite a few ppl have been asking if there has been any update on the blog and my answer “got no topic to write abt”. And now m getting so used to discussing the daily happenings with V at the end of the day that don’t feel like writin abt the daily stuff….Infact even now nothing interesting to write (I guess after the story-its become difficult to live up to the word “interesting”…post-story blues I guess) but was getting quite bored now, so thought I will scribble down something….

Dusvidaniyan:
After watchin the movie, I had thought of writing down my 10 wishes, but later on scrapped that thought…but now since it’s the beginning of a new year, I guess I would like to write down few things I want to do in this year (short term goals mebbe coz I don think long term plans work)….2007 was a grt year while 2008 was jus abt ok. I hope 2009 has got sumthin gud in store for me. So here goes the list with timelines ofcourse:
1. Learn driving and Get a car – timeline….6 months frm now mebbe…so lemme say before July 31.
2. Buy a digicam – I guess my bank bal shud permit this, so lemme say before Feb 15th (Sudeep pl help me with sum gyan on which cam to buy)
3. Vacation with parents – timeline – donno, mebbe second half of this year. Actually, I now don even remember wen was da last tym I had gone wit my parents on a vacation (except da trips to native place)…gues t was Kanyakumari long long bak….
4. Road trip with friends – Again no clue when this will happen (within first half of this year) no clue which set of frends
5. Learn something new…..mebbe guitar….
6. Pursue an additional course….most probably CFA n wil giv a crack at CAT again, but this tym hopefully with adequate preparations
7. And lastly, always on my agenda: Shed few extra kilos (hehe….target atleast 5 kilos before March end,,don ask wat my current weight is!!!!!)
Hopefully I ll b able to execute majority of the plans above and yes will keep posting as and when anything is achieved.

The Birthday Treat:

8/1/09- Gaurav’s birth day (deloitte friend) . We had decided to give him a treat. The original venue decided was The Barbeque Nation, which much to my disappointment, got shifted to 5 Spice at Bandra….Around 17/18 ppl in all I guess and surprisingly I knew most of them…I jus thought I ll write a one liner on each of them (no offence meant to any1)in the order in which we were seated:-
Ajay: I guess busiest person of us all…well he was da one who used his card to pay the bill, after collecting everyones share but going by PwC standards, I jus hope he didnt inflate the bill and collect higher amts frm us….mebbe I can jus wait for his confessions 1 day..till then fingers crossed….
Gaurav: the birthday boy….so no comments,,,,,jus 1 question- who got the cake for u at hexa????????
Vidhi: I m too scared to write anything abt her
Sulu : was laughin all the tym…sumtymes I dinno y…by the way just remember that u r not supposed to have non veg on Thursdays, henceforth…
Me: no comments (if any1 else wants to they can)
Avani: was supposed to get a chocolate for me but she dint!!!!! So no comments except dat she was basically interested in the photo session n sadly the photos din come out well
Rohit: was only keen on pushing the panchagani plan to the 25th….wonder y??????
Keval: was unusually quiet, I thought (in comparison to when I had met him earlier durin a picnic) or mebbe since he was sittin far I dinno…(hey btw u haven’t sent me the snap u took with some funny background)
Sanjeev: well da only statement he made was (in response to the question that y u aint speaking much) “ main kuch bolunga toh log bhag jayenge”….completely agree with it…got nothing more to add…..
Jay: Has only jain food including jain chicken (I repeat – no offence meant)
Manali: confused!!!! How else would you explain some1 holding a menu card n wondering out loud “what m I supposed to do with this”…m sure u were not thinking of byheartin it, were u?
Rohi: my beshtesht frend …she got US chocolates for me….so no comments
Riten: was his usual self….
Chandni: confused again!!!!! She took almost couple of minutes to say she stays at churchgate…I guess she was a bit uncomfortable out there, though some1 said it was due to the influence of her senior…lol…no clue….
Bhumi: nothing except dat she was wearing an orange coloured jacket (ok mebbe it wasn’t that weird)
Dharmen/ Rajdeep : no comments here…
Well all in all it was great fun….fud was decent and so were the rates…I guess we should be havin such dinners atleast once in 2 months if not every month and next tym it cud b barbeque nation….

The Movies:
A complete movie buff that I am, eagerly awaiting the release of Slumdog millionaire (heard outstanding reviews from ppl). Also heard fairly gud reviews of The President is Coming…And of course our very own, the next big superstar KRK’s (read kamal r khan) blockbuster movie “Deshdrohi”….now dat ban has been lifted on dat movie, cant wait to see it on da big screen ..lemme kno if any1 wants to join me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well not bad…I managed to write whole of 2 pages without having anything to write…now tym for me to hit the bed…have a great week…cya guys…
