HUBBA, HUBBA, HUBBA

Dear Reader,

                      I write this with the hope of sharing my predicament with you and wait with baited breath for your valuable inputs, critiques and possible solutions to this predicament I find myself in.

The following is a short description of my predicament:-

I was at the recently concluded Frankfurt Motor Show which could only be described as a single guy's paradise. The place was a deadly concoction of everything a Single guy can ever dream off ---> Beer,  Smoking Hot Cars, Futuristic Concept Vehicles, Smoking Hot Cars with Smoking Hot babes on them, in them, around them, under them; in all possible sizes, variants and models and I don't just mean the cars. It was a holy pilgrimage for Car enthusiasts such as myself to get up, close and personal with the Gods and Goddesses of the car world including the likes of the Ferrari's, Porsche's, Bentley's, Maybach's, Rolls-Royce's and many many more in their most divine and plentiful incarnations.          

HUBBA,HUBBA , HUBBA, were the only words that my mouth seemed to be voicing out all day, apart from the jaw dropping and gawking action that was taking place shamelessly. 

Here's a quick glimpse of what was on display

   

BMW's i8 Concept Car which will feature in the movie Mission Impossible 4 : Ghost Protocol later this year.

    

The Sexy Alfa Romeo which won many a heart.

The Alfa Romeo with some Add-On's. It was so Freaking hard to decide on what to Gawk at.

Classic Instance of the predicament I find myself in.

 

Mercedes Benz Concept A Design - Another Hottie that I just couldn't stop ogling at.

The Mercedes Benz F-125  (125 marks the 125th anniversary of the first patented automobile) 

The Fiat Abart 695 Competizione. Aint she a beauty?

At this, one of my friends asked me, Who's hotter? The Car or the Model? This was the tipping point,

I am still scratching my head, ripping off my hair but the answer still eludes me. 

I haven't slept in 28 hours or eaten in the last 15, please help me out before I'm taken to the loony bin.

I feel like Joey Tribbianni being asked which he would give up among Food or Sex. Like Joey's answer; which is Girls on bread, I too wish I had an answer, unfortunately I don't and so I ask you, the reader; to help me with this predicament I find myself in. 

Yours Sincerely 

Confused and Hungry Single Guy

PS 1: Did I mention HUBBA, HUBBA, HUBBA? I've not been able to get that out of my head. Wonder Why?

PS 2: I hereby truthfully admit that I shed a silent tear on the train ride back home when nobody was watching  owing to being forcefully dragged out from the Show venue at closing time. I loved the show so much, it HURTSSS.

Atrocious adds another Awesome year to his Life

I dread special days like birthdays, anniversaries and the likes. One week into their lead up, the atmosphere around us just seems to change into manic crazy and depressing; more so if you are the poor soul who's special day is coming up. Gifts and goodies are of course the sunny end of the bargain but there are by-products like anxiety and curiosity.    

So here's my birthday 2011 in Review

6.00 AM -

Wake up to find that I`m running a temperature and begin to experience joint pains. Note to self, this birthday is going to trump them all (Note the optimism :D). 

Wow, I`m sick at 6 AM on a day on which I thought giving two exams back to back was going to be the spoiler. This just keeps getting better and better.

8.00 AM - Load up on pills before writing First Exam. Curses, For Pete's sake, whoever makes you write an exam at 8 AM on a Monday morning deserves to be stoned to death.

12.00 PM - Done with the first exam. Come out of the exam block and find that rains always welcome you when you don't have an umbrella. Look up at the sky and smile at your wretched luck.        

1.00 PM - Lunch at the university cafeteria. 

Blyuugh, this is what they call food, no wonder the Germans look so Grumpy and pissed off all the time.(Apparently being sick makes me a racist, who would've known?)

2:00 PM - Get ready for next exam.

5:00 PM - Done with the second exam. *Pats own back and gives self a handshake for pulling off an Anil Kumble.*

6.00 PM - Reach room dead tired after 2 bus changes and crash on the bed while making sure from the corner of my eye that the quilt doesn't look too crumpled (Yes, I`m a Virgo and have this fetish for organization - a La Monica Geller, So ???)

9.00 PM - Wonder if something edible can be made out of Cheese and Nacho Dip in the fridge ??? End up having a glass of warm milk and calling it a day.

9.15 PM - Snoring Away to glory.

10.00 PM - Woken up by a knock on the door by a group mob of 17 people who give me a cake facial with a 3 inch Toblerone chocolate topping - custom baked cake. End up getting a couple of cuts across my face because the Toblerone topping has walnuts/almonds in it, Oww. Did I mention that I`m typing this out while standing, these people kicked (Birthday Bums) the Be-Jesus outta my hind, some even wearing 4 inch snow shoes. Don't know if I`ll be able to park my rear on a chair properly for the next 2 days.      

PS 1: Had my birthday taken off my FB page to avoid replying to a 100 different people who I seldom interact with. Probably for the best, as only the people who felt I was worthy enough to be wished and blessed; did so.

Ms Spiff from Senseless Sense? or Sensible Nonsense? gets a special mention here because she wished me by email. Thank you so so so so (*spreads hands wide apart to indicate how much*) much. 

PS 2: 

Birthday 2010: Friend Meets with an Accident, breaks elbow and jaw. Spend the entire day at the hospital till his parents fly out from Singapore.

                            

Birthday 2009: Neighbor attempts suicide by hanging, slap him so hard for trying something so stupid, that his neck sprains and has to use a neck collar for a fortnight.

Either I don't have people around me doing crazy things on my birthday or Birthday 2011 hasn't been as eventful as the previous two years. 

PS 3: Why God ?? Whyyyyyyy ??? We had a deal, let the others grow old, not meee, Why are you doing this to us???  *sob sob sob*

PS 4: Dear God,

                         My prayer for the year ahead is a Fat bank account and a thin body. Please don't mix these up like you did last year.

Of This, That and Sublimity

The last one week has been; whats the word I`m looking for, A Dream. Yes, A sublime dream at that.

Instance 1: 

It's Ganesh Chaturthi (Ganesh Utsav) and I`m a couple dozen thousand kilometers away from home. Now, I`m not really the  homesick kind(much more the sick of home kinds), but missing the festivities back home is surely something that does leave you pondering, even for a emotionless tin chested robot like me. So, I do what any other person 'who slightly misses home but doesn't have the balls to explicitly say he's homesick' does ---> replicate the 'homey' feeling in the closest way possible. I gather up two of my buddies and we decide that we would go visit one of the largest Hindu temples in the EU. 

2 train rides and 3 hours hence, we reach the town where the aforementioned temple is located and we start walking in search of the temple courtesy Shree Google-Maps-a-Nanda. We come across this slightly South Asian looking gentleman who makes small talk with us; inquiring as to where we were from and a few more blah-blah-blah's later, he informs us that there were 2 more temples in the same town and that he would love to drive us there. So we decide we would visit them as well especially since it was Ganesh Utsav and plus we don't get to visit temples on a regular basis. So we tagged along with him and he took us to one of the most homely places I could have opted to be in. The smell of Camphor intermingled with the fragrance of Incense is by far the closest simulation I have lingering of home now. I couldn't take a 4 inch smile off my face for a whole 2 days just thinking that I had just experienced home simultaneously while being so far away from it.

Instance 2: 

Flash forward to the 7th ---> Did I mention EPIC ???  

1. First thing I did in the morning when I opened my blogger dashboard was check out Nirvana's Post and did the 'Roger Federer' backward fall; off my chair. Yes, I fell off my chair backwards in joy because I got awarded by her.There started a day, I will remember and reminisce for a very long time because it was purely sublime in all respects. In hindsight, I think her award was a sign of things to come later that day. I just cant thank you enough Nirvana. 

2. It wasn't raining on the 7th because what was happening outside my window could easily be termed as a fine and persistent yet irritating sprinkling of water from the heavens. As I sat refreshing my university email id for updates regarding the project I`m working on, I hear a knock on the door. 

As I go and answer it, I see my college mate of 6 years standing there with the brightest smile on her face and a silver foil package in her hands. I invite her inside and offer her some hot Desi Chai while we catch up. She opens the package and stuffs my mouth with the most hot, delicious Aloo-De-Parathe I've ever had. I really couldn't have asked for more surprises from a single day; Rainy weather + old friend who shows up at your door step with a smile  +  Lip Smacking Aloo-De-Parathe = SUBLIME.

Instance 3:

If you're a T.V show freak like me, you'd not miss one single episode of your favorite shows. If you haven't watched Suits or Burn Notice, what are you waiting for? The Universe to give you a divine signal? 

Both these shows had their season ending finales yesterday, they just had class written all over them. The downside however is that I have to wait a couple of months to watch the next season of both these shows and I have not stopped raving about both the season finales of these shows to my friends ever since I watched them yesterday evening. 

I have frankly run out of adjectives to describe Suits, the writing is just brilliant and the actors have added finesse to the respective characters especially the female leads who not only look smoking hot but have elegance in equal dosage. All you lawyers would love this show, although how much of it is actually true and how much is hokum; you will have to enlighten me on that.   

  

Burn Notice has been successfully running from 2007, so watching it if you like Wit, Sarcasm, Action, Crime and a superb story line all packaged into one is not something you will regret doing. The attitudes of the characters and first person narration is what draws you hook,line and sinker.

That was my week in review, What have you all been upto?

PS: Happy Onam to you all , May your cup of Joy be filled with Happiness,Prosperity and Success and over flow with Celebration.
