Dhanush - Betrayel oder Dinner?

2005-05-30T23:51:00.000-04:00

Act 1 Scene 1
Characters:
Chilli - aka SR
Devil - aka Dhanush

The setting is a typical monsoon month in the year 2005.
On a typical weekend the gang usually meets for coffee.
The time is around 3:00 pm

Chilli: Hello?
Devil: Yes?

Chilli: Hey dude, you free in the evening? Let's go out for coffee.
Devil (suddenly dizzy in the head and sensing an invasion of privacy): Er, hmm, sorry dude, I am not feeling too well.

Chilli (the true friend that he is, gets a bit concerned): Oh okay, dude, take care and we'll go out some other time.
Devil (grinning to himself): Er, yeah dude, bye (in a gruffy voice).

The time now is around 6:00 pm
The Devil is at the Leela, shopping around with some company.
Then dinner follows and the Devil is full of courtesy, chivalry et al.

Chilli, the true friend that he is, is still thinking that his friend is not doing well.
Scene ends.

Knocking on heaven's door

2005-05-26T01:04:00.000-04:00

Knock Knock
Who's there?
Monkeys.
Monkeys who?
Read the title stupid.

Anyway, why on earth is no one blogging here?
Guys, I want to know whether you all coming for the play on 3rd (Friday) or on 4th (Saturday)?
Bandar, you better come for the Bangla version.

And we need to do something more constructive this weekend rather than hanging around those boring coffee shops/tea rooms.

Been there Done That

2005-04-25T00:15:00.002-04:00

There's plenty to do in life.
And life revolves around Bangalore.

But I assume the scene would be the same in most other cities of the world.
Going back to statement 1:
There's plenty to keep you busy.

One could take up sports of the indoor and outdoor varieties, do a wide variety of reading from ramesh menon to stephen king, listen to all kinds of music, catch movies during the weekends on the big screen or in the comforts of home, watch theatre or actively participate in it, be a part of a voluntary ngo and do good for others, go gather around in a coffee bar or a pub and chat away, perhaps go shake a leg later in the evening, do an occassional bungee jump or river rafting a trek or go on an overnight getaway drive to a place far out of the city, go shopping in the malls for gadgets or books, laze around in the gardens or go boating, visit an art gallery or just browse around in a library, try wooing women with varied degrees of success, even try setting up our own venture…

Plenty to do, but what if, at age 26, you've already done all that?

What do you do next to keep life interesting...

Soneone suggested it's time to get married.
Gah.

The only thing we've never done is learn how to play a musical instrument.

Hey.....

2005-04-11T23:53:00.000-04:00

MMMM?

2005-02-17T16:00:00.000-05:00

I must really question your choice for a topic title. :D.

Completly unrelated topic, I got roped in to going to WWE Raw on monday.

MMMM

2005-02-16T08:27:00.000-05:00

Played audience to the performance by the inhouse band today morning. I was surprised at how good they are. There were a couple of guys on the percussion instruments, one on the guitar, another on the flute. A keybaord and a violin completed teh ensemble of instruments. It wasn't your regular "fusion" crap. It was a blend of pure hindustani and carnatic classical music. And boy oh boy, was it music to the ears. The flute and tabla dudes broke into an impromptu jugalbandi in between, and they were really good.

Dudes, we simply must fulfil our dream of forming the Royal Basaveshwaranagara Philaharmonic Orchestra...yeah sure, you can call the group by any other name you like...

but the Monkeys Must Make Music.

oh, i got the title for the post :)

Another damn analogy

2005-02-14T01:51:00.000-05:00

Life is like a game of squash.
Or any other sport, it's just that the monkeys are currently into squash.

You play against the forces (for lack of a better word).
You don't really have control over them.
In the game of squash, the forces are the will & skill of your opponent combined with other worldly elements you have no control over.
So you all you can do is give your best.
You can slide and dive across the floor all you like, in your attempt to keep the ball in play and hit a winning shot.
But your best efforts can amount to nothing.

All you can do is pick yourself up from the floor and take another shot at it.
Your best shot.

The monkeys will keep playing.

I believe...

If you look down, he's right there quacking harmoniously.

May the ducks of your lives quack ever harmoniously

2005-02-03T03:53:00.002-05:00

Please...allow me to get carried away. A toast to the nuttiest bunch of goofballs that ever walked this planet. May the monkeys dance merrily. Always

2005-02-03T03:53:00.001-05:00
