An Apple a day, Keeps the doctor away

An a day, Keeps the doctor away..

I really dont know who said that, and i dont know if medically speaking that true..
But its true alright.. here's how..



Recently, Apple was voted as the worlds leading innovator. When i read that in the
newspaper, i thought to myself "Hmmmm, Now is that true ?" Well come to think of it,
they are...



These days the products that are selling like crispy hot pancakes, more likely than not
begin with an 'i' !!



Incase you are one of them people, who are new to this world.. and dont know what i am talking
about, let me spell them for you..



iPod, iPhone, iMac, iTouch, iTunes, iMini .....



and incase you are just curious to know what these look like..








My friend got the iPhone, very proudly displaying it all the time.. and why shouldnt he. Its one
hell of an innovation !



I loved the iPod when it was launched, i went crazy when they launched the iPod video,
i went ballistic when i saw the iPod nano & the i almost lost my mental balance when i
saw the iPod nano video.



To launch the iPod Apple used no fewer than seven types of innovation. They included networking
(a novel agreement among music companies to sell their songs online), business model (songs sold
for a buck each online), and branding (how cool are those white ear buds and wires?). Consumers
love the ease and feel of the iPod, but it is the simplicity of the iTunes software platform that
turned a great MP3 player into a revenue-gushing phenomenon.



The iPhone & the iPod almost did me in, but what blew me away the most is the latest offering from Apple.
"The MacBook Air". I look and i fell in love with it. Its not just a laptop, its one marvel of engineering.
Now it would be complete injustice if i didn't mention "The MacBook Pro" out here.




With such a smashingly great product line, no wonder Apple is the worlds leading innovator. They have
captivated people all over the world.



One thing to remember though, Apple just aint making innovative products, they are making money too !!



The 12 products you see on top there, these are just a few amongst the whole range. Now every day, even
if they sold just 1 product each of those 12.. they make $3,966,820.00 per year. In lay mans term, thats
4 million dollars. Now if every single person on this planet bought just 1 apple product, just 1.. imagine!
That might just give you an idea, how much money they really making.



An a day keeps the doctor away!



( atleast for the Apple. Inc shareholders & maybe you too.. all the Apple products i have, they keep me happy,
and happy man seldom visits a doctor)

Man, know thy fashion !

First things first, I aint no fashion guru... I aint no fashion police !
But to say the least, i know what to wear and what not to.

What you wear defines you. Says a lot about who you are.

Over the past few days, i have had the good fortune to see some of the weirdest fashion faux pas' ever.


Wednesday! We all friends decided to go for a mid-week work break party. We met up at our regular
pub, ordered our drinks and were just starting to enjoy the music & the light buzz! It wasnt
very crowded... and then a group of guys n gurls walk in...

What one of the guy was wearing made us roll on the floor with laughter... it was next to impossible.
God knows what this dude was thinking... he was wearing a tight-fitting pink colored v-neck full sleeved "top" with a furry
collar & something printed on the front in silver.

Go figure....

Friday evening, am happy that my work week is over and i can begin relaxing and enjoying
my weekend. One of the ways i do that is go to coffee shop near my place and enjoy
a cup of nice brewed cappuccino. yea so i get my coffee, so to a corner table and start
to sip my coffee. Across from my table, a guy is sitting with his back towards me, and
i cant help but notice that his jeans are way way down.. may be half way down his butt!
Thank God for small mercies, or should i thank the person who came up with idea of inner wear.

Low waist jeans has hit the fashion street a while back... n i have seen men & women both sporting
them, yea.. u can see the inner wear.. proudly displayed "Jockey" or "Calvin Klien" ..
but this dude... made me cringe in my seat.. In the name of fashion, this guy was wearing
a light brown colored , extremely old, never washed torn inner-wear..

It was a disgusting sight...Why Why Why ... why do some men do that ???!!

On a Saturday evening, my friends and i decide to go for a movie.
The cinema hall, like most of em these days, is in a huge mall, thronging
with boys n girls, uncles n aunties, grandpa's n grandma's. Malls are the best
places to witness the latest fashion parade..

Coming back to the point, we are on the way up to the ticket counter and we see
a guy wearing a t-shirt with something printed on the front. The moment we read
what was printed, we stopped dead in our tracks. In utter amazement we all looked at
each other.. asking amongst ourselves, did it really say that on the t-shirt.

I am gonna end this one by just saying what was printed on the GUYS t-shirt, rest i leave it open
to interpretation..

" I Wish These were Brains !!"

I was soo tempted to go tell him "Man, know thy fashion"

Some things are best as memories..

The place i saw her...LAX..i.e Los Angeles International airport !
I beleive airports are the best places to meet people. You have
representatives from all over the world...literally..especially if
it is a international hub like Los Angeles.

Now, What i am doing at LAX... i am on a vacation... yep..
all the way from New Jersey. Across 4 time zones..from the east
coast to the west coast. But, Los Angeles is not my final destination.

The land of riches...the land of luck... the land of casinos..
Viva Las Vegas !! The things i had heard about Vegas.. i thought..
"well.. it must just be hyped a lot..as always" ..Nah.. it was
exactly as they had promised..grand..vibrant..and bright.

What i did there in Vegas.. thats another story ;-) Right now i am at LAX!

Yea...so am hungry and go into a deli... order something to nibble upon.
And there she is seated...on the bar Stool with a cup of coffee. She looked
exquistely beautiful.. Her long blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin.
Dressed up in a cobalt blue noodle-strap top, light blue denims and a
snow-white fur jacket.

A beautiful face, stunning body and a truly priceless smile. Yes..
i did look at her.. Yes ...eye to eye..and Yes.. she did smile at me!
And then what do i do ?? I get up, look at her and start walking..
walking straight towards her. As i near the bar, i take a left and move
towards the exit.. giving her a final goodbye smile..they had announced
the boarding of my flight !

I knew i had to get in early, being a brown skinned, asian passenger after the
twins collapsed, doesnt really make you a elite passenger. The security hulks
always have one eye on you.. nevertheless, i boarded the flight and hoped
that she would board the same flight too..

No.. this is not a hindi movie, the heroine, did not board the plane.
"well ok.. She aint on this flight, may be some other beautiful lady would
come and occupy the seat next to me".. i said to myself and started looking towards
the door...

You have to realize that i am just back from Vegas, having seen all the incredibly
sexy, beautiful women wearing from almost nothing to almost nothing, doing the craziest
things one could ever imagine... Guys thats Vegas... "What happens here, stays here"..
Is how they advertise Vegas and am more than willing to live up to the punch line.
Now i dont wanna let you know what all i did there.. or do i ?

In walks another beauty, yes.. LA is full of them, and walked the aile, and walked right
past me... i didnt look back.. Not because i didnt want to.. there was another one right behind
her :-))) But none of these ladies were even close to that American beauty.

The Door was locked.. and in a few minutes the captains voice crackled on the speaker
" Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman,Welcome on board United Airlines flight to Newark.
We will moving towards the runway in a few minutes and should have clearance to take
off in soon. The Journey to Newark will take 10 hours 25 minutes and will reach Newark
at 6:00 AM local time. Enjoy the flight"

Ok.. that was that. And i started day dreaming about the "American Beauty".. What if i had more
time at the cafe. I would wait for sometime, keep smiling at her..eventually walk up to her.
Get her name and number, find out she was from New Jersey also. Call her up, set up a date, go for
romantic dinner and you know all the works.

"Excuse me sir" i heard a sweet voice right behind my ear. My thought.. "which of the 2 gurls
that went past me was this one".. i looked behind and it was the stewardess..not beautiful.
"will you be having a veg or a non-veg meal"... "Non-Veg please" i told her.
Finished my meal, put on my ipod and off to sleep.

We land at Newark, New Jersey right on time. We de-board the plane and again start thinking
about the American beauty "Wish i could see her again..hmmm !" I walk towards the baggage claim
section to pick my bags and head home. Am waiting for my bags to come on the circular conveyer belts.

"Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.." a loud sound and the conveyer next to ours starts moving too, some other flight
that came into Newark,NJ. So i am waiting for my bag.

Remember how i said, this is not a hindi movie.. well forget that part. Wanna know why... the American
beauty is standing at conveyer number 2. Arrivals for Continental Airlines flight from LA to Newark.
And i am smiling ear to ear. I keep looking at her. She still hasnt seen me... still waiting for her
bags.. looks here n there, and then straight at me.. i am still smiling.. and guess what she recognizes
me and smiles back. "Ah... what a smile.. that would melt any heart".

My bags are on the conveyer belt, i pick them up. I remember my thoughts " What if i had more time at the cafe..."
I smile to myself and walk out of the exit...

"The trouble with resisting temptaion is it may never come your way again."

Take the Lead..

Its Saturday night, and for us thats a party night. Us includes.. Mr.J, Miss.S & myself.

Most of the times its just the three of us. But tonight is different... "us" are being joined

by Mr & Mrs S, and my brother, Neel. Not only its different cuz we are now six, than the

usual three, we are going bowling, which we have never done before. Our plan used to

be pretty simple movie followed by a disc or a pub. Spinn, like we all agree to, is the

ever reliable place to go have fun... great music, beautiful people and liquor !

So...Mr.J, Miss.S, Neel and myself reach the bowling alley, Mr & Mrs. S are late, stuck

in traffic. Mr.J aint to eager about this change of our weekend plan. He, wants to dance.

To cut a long story short, i have never seen anyone bowl as quick as he did. Even before

the first ball hit the pins and knock 'em over, Mr. J runs back to grab the next available

ball, never mind even if his fingers dont get into the holes, turns around in one swift motion,

(He is already dancing if you ask me), swings his arms and releases the ball..nah... throws it

as hard and fast as he can...He is in and out in less that 30 secs..believe me. And how many

pins does he manage to knock over, one... just one, that too on the first throw. On the

second throw, he manages precisely to glide the huge ball into the tiny gap he created before.

...and he is consistent !! He wants to get out of here and into Spinn as fast as he can..

Neel and myself, we love bowling, so we are pretty good in terms of not wasting time.Then

there is the sweet little Miss.S... yea i mean those words..sweet and little..literally. The lightest

of balls, is way to heavy for her. Miss.S stands just behind the bowling line, swings her arm back

and forth, back and forth, back and forth, just like a pedulum ticking. And with every tick, Mr.J's

anxiety and eagerness to get over this game and move is ever increasing. Miss.S releases the ball.

With her, it seems like the ball has decided that it wont stay on course and must go into the gutter.

And the one time the ball went straight, it was so slow, we didnt think it would reach the pins..just

stay putt in the middle of the lane. It kept rolling and rolling.. seemed like eternity to Mr.J. But it

did complete its long journey to the pins and thankfully knocked of couple of them.

Mr & Mrs.S, they were having a ball of a time. Mrs.S sweetly cheering on Mr.S.

All through this Mr.J never lost his focus, Spinn. He made sure we finished as soon as possible.

He took the lead in that department. Once the last ball was released from the bowlers arm,

we waited just enuf to have glimpse of it knocking over a few pins..we were already walking towards

the exit.

So we sit my car, all six of us, hoping not to get caught by a cop and head towards Spinn. Mr.J

is all excited... so excited, he wanted me to drive even before everyone had got in.

And then...we enter heaven... "us".. just love this place. Mr.J is the happiest man right now.

First thing we do, hit the bar...order our drinks and let the music sink in. With the kind of music

that they play here, you cant help but dance. Now, I couldnt even dance to safe my life.

If Gabbar Singh had my girlfriend tied up and threatened me to dance, and if i did, he would

definetly shoot himself.. no two things about it. Despite knowing this, i still give my 2 cents.

But with Miss.S, its a entirely different ball game. She is the best dancer i have seen in person.

She moves, glides around the dance floor with sensuasness never seen before. She seduces..

Mr.J is not a bad dancer either. Miss.S and Mr.J compliment each other very well on the dance floor.

Both enjoy it a lot. Mr & Mrs.S, they are on the dance floor, in their romantic own world. Neel, is an

equally good dancer.." A guy with whom a girl would enjoy dancing" is what i am told. As for me,

I moved a little bit around the dance floor, without managing to scare anyone. Got myself a drink

and watched Miss.S dance.. I couldnt take my eyes off her. There is a beauty to her dance that words

cant describe. I thought to myself "wish i was a good dancer".

Party over, we back home... i hit the sack and am zzzzzz in matter of minutes. Thats new to me also.

Sunday, a day to rest... have a late lunch and then put on a movie.."Take the lead". Its about dance.

There is this one dance sequence in the movie, ballroom dance mind you, that changed my thought from

last night. I no longer thought "Wish i was a good dancer"... now i was getting "I want to be a good dancer".

Like they say its just like having sex.. I didnt beleive that statement untill i saw the dance in the movie.

I saw it over and over and over...I used to think that i suck at dance, why try it anyways. I am not made for it.

"If you want to dance, you are made for it".. with that thought i decided to take the lead and learn how

to dance... I too want to have sex on the dancefloor.. if you know what i mean.

Being a twenty-something

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing
that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may
not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a
year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are
now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those
friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the
greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch
with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is
that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean
or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at wat urstudyin or urjob... and it is not even close to what
you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and
realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that
scares you.

Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and
find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize
that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly
adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One
minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure.

You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone
and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and
cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is
drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay
where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do
such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet
anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you
love someone! but love someone else too and cannot figure out why
you're doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person.
Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You
go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk
with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to
make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a
life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right
now youare scared just to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that every one reading this relates to it.
We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as
we can to figure this whole thing out.

I'll have a Vaaadka

The Residents of United States Of America are really funny creatures. I had heard this from
a lot of my friends but somehow never believed in it. Now, having had a first hand experience
i cant deny what they told me... these guys are really funny !

Saturday night... we friends, Prasanna, Abhi & myself, decided to party out, hit a few bars,
grab something to eat..and the likes. So we headed towards one of the well know bars.
No sooneer than we got our asses on the chairs, a blonde walks up to us with menus in her hand..

"Hi!, I am Amanda and i will be your server today. Would you guys like something to drink?"
Prasanna: "Yea, a Bud light for me."
Abhi: "A Presidente margarita for me"
Me: " I"ll have a Vodka Martini" ( being the Vodka lover i am... i had to start off with this)
Amanda: "A WaterMelon...."
Me (thinking): Did i say Watermelon... am i already drunk..cant be!!!
" A Vodka Martini" i told her again
Amanda: (now giving me a confused smile) " A Vooott..what ?"
Me (thinking): is she nuts or am i saying something wrong ??
"A Grey Goose Vodka Martini" i told her once again.

I think she caught the words Grey Goose ( btw, its the best Vodka ever!!)

Amanda: "Ahhhh !! Vaaadka Martini!"
Me (thinking): Oh..so they say Vaaadka and not Vodka. This kinda irked me..
Me: "Amanda, how do you say V O T E ?" i asked her
Amanda: "Vote" ( she said it just the way we say it)
Me: "and how do you say V O D K A?"
Amanda: "Vaaadka". and she smiled... "I dont know why they say it that way..its always been like that"
and smiled again. She got my point !
and i got to know that its said "Vaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddkkaaaaaaa!"

So next time any one of you guys order for Vodka, you know what to say !!

Fast Food joints.. you'll find them everywhere here.. just like the way we find pan shops in India.
So we walk into a one of those. Bala, my friend is the first to go to the counter.

Girl: "Hi, How may i help you?"
Bala: "Hi, i'd like a number 7 please"
Girl: "Crispy or Grilled?"
Bala: "Crispy"
Girl: "Lettuce, tomatoes?"
Bala: "Both"
Girl: "mayonise, mustard?"
Bala: "Both"
Girl: "Ranch, BBQ sauce?"
Bala: "Both"

Abhi & myself were behind him and we were already beginning to smile. This was getting funny..
Bala was going on answering blindly.. "Both","Both","Both"..
Finally,
Girl: "For here or To Go?"
Bala: "Both"

Abhi & myself burst out laughing.. the girl at the counter had the most confused look i have
ever seen on anyone.. Bala at first didnt understand what was going on and then he it hit him.

We were laughing our entire dinner.
"Both!!!"

In India, you go to a restaurent, get a table and you are seated, a waiter comes swooping
in and places glasses of water on the table. Thats customary. Its not the case in the US of A.
You gotta order it. And here's how you are supposed to do it.

"I'll have a glass of regular water, No Ice, No Lemon, No Straw!"

Are our Lifes programmed ?

It was a sunday afternoon. It was as gloomy and dull as it could get. The rain.. wet &
icy cold. The weather guys had predicted it right. I looked out of the window.. grey
is all i could see all around.

"so.. what should i do now ?" i said to myself. TV is too boring.. had been seeing too
much of it lately, thanks to this weather. Had finished my quota of surfing the net
for the day. "What Life !!" and i began pondering over what i had said to myself.
What is Life? i thought about what i was doing about my life & what others are doing
with theirs. A few moments later... a question popped up in my mind.

"Are our Life's programmed?"

To look at life in perspective, from the time we are born till we are dead, most of us
lead a very similar life. When we are little, we are carefree, innocent & happy. We are enjoying
every moment of it. We learn how to say the first word. We learn how to speak. We are learning
hundreds things daily. We go to school, learn the ABCD's, the math, history & geopraphy of the
world. We play sports, play pranks, make trouble. Make friends !! Enter college, educate ourselves
even more, make more friends.. get funny feelings for someone of the opposite sex. We graduate, finish
our education & then what do we do? We find a job. Start working...earning money..spending money.
Make a career. We then start looking for the significant other. Marriage is there on our minds.
Then, we become parents! Raise our kids. See ourselves get old. And one day we are no more.

Somewhere in all this, there are lonely nights, parties, fights, broken hearts, love! All the ups & downs
as they call it. The essence of Life is probablity.

Life is just a fixed program with certain randomness introduced to it. This randomness in the program
makes an illusion that we all are leading totally different lifes. But are we ?

This randomness is the probablity. There is 50% chance we will do we well in our career, in our love life,
in our marriage & there is 50% chance we wont do well.

There is no opposite to life! Death.. is not the opposite of life. Death... is the opposite of birth.
Is Life just a program that takes us all from birth to death.

"Are our Life's programmed?"

Analyze That !

Women just love to confuse men.. and i dont know why? Here's some tips.

She says: "I don't want to ruin our friendship."
What she means: I am not attracted to you, or I don't feel enough chemistry to date you --
but I do like you as friend.
Why she does this: She probably does want to remain friends, but doesn't want to hurt your
feelings by admitting that she doesn't feel the same attraction for you.

What you should do: Don't take it personally; she just doesn't feel the same chemistry as
you do. Take the hint and work on being friends with her, if that's what you want.

She says: "I'm just so busy with work right now."
What she means: I am not interested in fitting you into my schedule.

Why she does this: She wants to let you down easy. Instead of being blunt, she is hoping
you'll just get the picture.

What you should do: When a woman likes a man, she will always find time for him -- no matter
what her schedule is like. So don't kid yourself into thinking that the situation might change.
Instead, move on right away.

She says: "Are you seeing anyone right now?"
What she means: I might like to submit an application for the position of your girlfriend.

Why she does this: She wants to make sure she is not wasting her precious flirting energy on
a man who is already spoken for.

What you should do: Answer honestly, and then hit her up for her phone number

She says: "Do you really want to go to that restaurant/movie/dinner party?"
What she means: I really don't want to go to.
Why she does this: She doesn't want to go, but she doesn't want to appear stubborn either.
She is probably hoping you'll sense her hesitation and come up with an alternate plan that pleases her.

What you should do: If you have your heart set on going to that particular destination,
stick to your guns. Otherwise, you might want to switch up in order to please her. Re
member this: If you keep her happy, she'll keep you happy.

She says: "You have a knack for dealing with kids. They really seem to respond to you."
What she means: I am contemplating eventually having children with you and am wondering
where you stand in that department.

Why she does this: An indirect question is her way of feeling you out without freaking you out.

What you should do: Don't freak out. She is probably thinking very distantly into the future
(yes, women do this). If, however, you absolutely positively know that you never want kids,
this would be a good time to say it.

She says: "Where is this relationship going?"
What she means: I would like us to graduate to a more serious, exclusive relationship.

Why she does this: She wants you to be the one to suggest exclusivity.

What you should do: This depends on whether or not you actually want exclusivity.
If so, suggest it. If not, let her know that you care about her, but are not interested in
being exclusive right now.

She says: "I feel so close to you right now. You know me so well."
What she means: I am starting to feel the l-word, but I don't want to be the first to say it.

Why she does this: It's a scary thing to be the first to say "I love you." It's much easier for
her to hint and hope that you'll take the plunge first.

What you should do: Do not -- under any circumstances -- say the l-word if you don't mean it.
If you do feel it, then go ahead; otherwise, don't say anything. In the long run, you'll be happy
not to get entangled in such a lie.

She says: "I feel like our relationship is stuck in a routine right now."
What she means: I want you to be more romantic and spontaneous, and surprise me more. I need you to
pay more attention to my needs.

Why she does this: She doesn't want to hurt your feelings and admit that you are, in part, the
cause of the rut.

What you should do: You don't need to change your personality entirely, but it wouldn't kill you
to surprise her every once in a while. Call her out of the blue and tell her you're taking her for
dinner, go on a spontaneous weekend away, or just surprise her with her favorite chocolates.

She says: "A man was flirting with me all night."
What she means: Does it make you jealous?

Why she does this: She wants you to know that she's a hot commodity and that other men are interested
in her. She wants you to appreciate what you have.

What you should do: Don't respond to it in a way she'll expect, like by getting angry or jealous.
Instead, pay her a compliment -- she's definitely fishing for it. Don't get all insane with jealousy;
just let her know what she means to you, or else she'll be playing this card every so often to set you straight.

She says: "Do you get along well with your mother?"
What she means: Are you a family man?

Why she does this: A man who gets along with his mother tends to be more loyal, sensitive and devoted
-- at least that's the stereotype that a lot of women buy into.

What you should do: Talk about how close you and your mother are; you could even tell a couple of stories.
Just enough to affirm that yes, you get along with her.

She says: "I'm just not ready to make a commitment."
What she means: I'm not ready to commit to you, and may never be.
Why she does this: She uses this tactic to soften the blow; nine times out of 10, this means that she
doesn't see a future with you... ever.

What you should do: Don't stick around until she's ready to make a commitment. Chances are, when she's
finally ready, it won't be with you.

She says: "I think we should stay friends."
What she means: I am trying to cut you out of my life gradually.

Why she does this: She thinks it would be easier to gradually stop seeing you instead of going cold turkey.
She may even want to keep you around as a backup.

What you should do: Stay friends if you like. But don't let yourself become the backup guy. If she wants
to get back together down the line, ask yourself if she's only doing it because she hasn't found anyone else.

5 Women Men cant help but Love

Men love women, Men hate women. But there are a few women on this blue planet
that men cant stay away from... these beauties are trophies for men. Those
who dont have it want it, and those very few who have them.. we'll just call them lucky.

Lets see who these women are, which men cant help but love.

Catherine Zeta Jones...The Welsh Lady. An epitome of beauty !

I am yet to come across a man who says "i definetly do not like her". Almost all of them
have said she is beautiful, sexy, stunning, gorgeous...and the list goes on n on..just like
the duracell bunny. And the few who say she is "ok"... they are either blind or gay !
Now no offense to the people on the other side of the line ! Recently Catherine was voted as the most
beautiful Lady in england & the Lady with the best "assests", if i may put it that way.
Like Julia Roberts said in Notting Hill "Whats it between Men & Breasts?? They are just breasts"
Well... Those who have it just dont appreciate it !! thats why men are needed :-))
Micheal Douglas.. Lucky !!

Jennifer Aniston....The Greek Goddess ! Oh yea... she is greek.

Insanely cute & sweet but at the same time raunchy & sexy. Thats something men cannot resist.
Seems she is a very warm & kind hearted person too... that counts. When jen broke up with
"Mr.Handsome" Brad Pitt.... all women went.."awww... thats sad".. all men went.. "Hell yea !!"
Next time you watch Friends... have a good look at her.. whats the first thing you notice about her ?
Those can poke through steel !!!

Princess Diana ... A Royal Beauty!

I am totally in love with the Princess. "Lady D"... she exudes warmth, love. She is beauty personified.
How can anyone not like her !! How... i just cannot imagine it. Prince Charles, easily is the biggest
looser in this world. Lady D, in such a short life span managed to capture so many hearts.
31st August 1997... my heart was crushed. One of my aims in life was to see Lady D in person. That will
remain unfulfilled... but there is another "Princess" i have found & i aint no Prince Charles ;-)

Sushmita Sen ... The Sizzling Desi !

The one woman who makes the sari look sexy ! I think she is the sole reason that sari's are back in
fashion..with offcourse the noodle strap blouse... Mandira Bedi tried it.. failed miserably!
She has the looks, she has the brains... after all Miss.Universe. She's the hottest desi woman today
Many a men have burned their hands.

Hillary Clinton... The one woman who men love above all...

Now, isnt this surprising ??!!
Half of the people i told this to were scratching their heads wondering "Hillary Clinton !!!"
"Whats wrong with this fellow..??" Now i'll tell you why not only men, but women love
Hillary Clinton....Yea.. women love her too !

Hillary Clinton is the most admired woman in America. Women love her because she's strong
and successful. Men love her because she allows her husband to cheat and get away with it.
Just take a minute, relax, rock back in your chair and think about it.

Now how many of you'll agree that Hillary is one of the women men love.If you are a man
and say you dont love her, there is seriously something wrong with you ;-)

'Are Men Necessary?'

Feminism: 1. A doctrine that advocates equal rights for women
2. The movement aimed at equal rights for women

... the dictionary meaning of "feminism".

And why am i writing this.... well, i like to keep myself updated about this things
that are happening in the world... news. timesofindia.com, news.google.com, bbc.co.uk...
and then i reached cnn.com

As usual, whats going on in the US and what should be done.. Bush did this, he didnt do
this... amongst all this crap.. the article 'Are Men Necessary?' caught my eye.

"Ok".. i said to myself, "lets see what the women have to say.." and i open the article and start
reading it...

http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/books/11/15/dowd.men.necessary/index.html

After i finished reading it... i was laughing.

In their struggle for "feminism" , as defined above, i guess women have really forgotten
what they are looking for or trying to achieve. Now i wont deny that they were/are in a
male dominated world and women really had to struggle to be recognized for who they are
and what they can do and achieve.

But as the generations go by, i think the struggle isnt that difficult as it used to be.
Men now take it in stride a women along side them, and many of them now prefer an
equal partner...

'Are Men Necessary?'

why is it that women take such steps ? I am not saying all women do this... but there
are a lot... especially the feminist groups. At times makes me smile what these women
are protesting for..

I guess the sudden freedom and independence that the women have received, has overwhelmed them.
They dont know what to do with it ! and again i would add, i do not intend to generalize this
across all women.

This article really ,made me laugh and Maureen Dowd, the author, has managed to make a fool
of herself, at least in my eyes. Now i dont know how many guys would be
laughing at this... ladies, with no disrespect meant to you.. whats ur take ??

The Lighter Side of Life

So.. it was 8:00 pm. Having had a hot cup of my evening coffee at 5:00 watching the sun go down,
my stomach growled at me "You better put something in here, else am gonna pump up the volume".
Now, the moment my brain heard this it tells me to get my ass off the couch and into the kitchen.

My brains been acting a lil weird lately..guess its still not used to seeing the sun go down and 5!!
Keeps on telling me to do this and do that... think about this and think about that.. wouldnt just
shut up. I tried telling my brain, "You just sit there, on top of me doing nothing and now you telling
me to get my ass off the couch". Before i could finish the argument, my stomach growled even louder.

"Alright, Alright...am getting off the couch !!". So i get into the kitchen pondering on what to cook for
dinner... the only thing i find in there.. a can of kidney beans! my brain's happy.. he didnt have to
think much. I need a can-opener. "you left it at Saurav's place".. that was my brain ! Now that wasnt
good news. Its freezing outside.. 3 degree celcius and the winds howling. I have to walk up an entire
apartment block to get there. I try to prepare myself mentally to get into that chill.. think its hot
outside, you wont feel the cold.. "its hot..its hot...its hot". Am back home..my feet are numb & cant
feel my nose either.. my brain knew that. "i kept thinkin.. its hot..its hot..Someone told me its the
thought that counts" .. this my brain tells me!

"If it were truly the thought that counted, more women would be pregnant", i told my brain.
"Well.. atleast now we have the can-opener". So dinner's prepared and had gobbled up.

"Burp"
"You are welcome" i tell my stomach.

My ass is back on the counch and my brain is watching the television...Friends. Ross and Racheal
have broken up. Ross is half-seeing someone else.. Racheal gets mad..cant see it. Ross comes over to
meet Monica. She's out with Chandler. Ross and Racheal start fighting...gets high pitched... Ross
goes over and kisses Racheal.. takes her to bed and have the best sex ever. Next morning they are in love
all over again.

Love.. hmmmm !
"Love is a complicated machine... sometimes all you need is a good screw to fix it".. Out of nowhere
my brain tells me he has read that somewhere. I manage a smile.. "Thanks for the thought..made me smile"..
i tell him.So now i start thinking about what my brain just told me "Do i need love or do i need a screw?.
Or is it that there wont be a screw without love.. how can there be a machine without a screw? On the other hand,
you need a screw to build the machine.. eh ??" I was jus gonna ask my brain the answer to my dilema when i
realized a fart was about to sneak out of my ass. Damn the kidney beans! Instinctively, i tried to stop it.. its
considered impolite to fart. My brain knew exactly what i did...it tried telling me.. "let it go.. let it go".
"But so many years of parenting and culture told me not to do so" i told my brain...

Calmy my brain says " Its important that u fart, else it travels up the spine into the brain,n thats where the
shity ideas come from! .. "i read that somewhere" he adds. Continuing "So if u dont want me to be clogged with
that gas that forces me to come up with shity ideas and get you into trouble.. you better let it go"
I couldnt argue...i let it go ! It did feel good...

I ask my brain.. "How the hell do you remember what i have read where ? I mean.. what all have you got up
there inside you ?"
"Jimmy boy, dont i remember things that u study n learn.. that help you work and has made u smart character.
So, i concentrate 100% when you working and thats why u can get ur work done so fast. Then u've got time
and i tell you to go pick a book our browse the internet and help me find something nice to read."

I say "ya well.. you are right! So you got any thoughts or something u read somewhere that you still
stuck on?"

My brain thinks for a few moments and then tells me "I wonder why a gynecologist leaves the room when
women get undressed?"

"Thats a tough one!"

.. and both of us are quiet..back to the television.
