When i was a kid, my request to buy something for me was never declined. Ok, 9 out of 10 times it was not declined. The belief was that i would ask for something only if that is extremely necessary. Unfortunately, that was the truth as well. Wait,.. this was the story till i joined college. After i joined college, my mother ran out of reasons to not give me money to buy something.
A one day picnic was arranged in my school when i was studying 7th standard. Me and 2 of my friends decided that each one will bring 100 Rs on the picnic day. The night before the picnic, I asked my mother for 100 Rs and she told that 100 will be too much and 50 will be more than enough. The way it was said suggested that it would be useless to argue.You remember that 9 out of 10 time thing. This request fell under 1/10. I decided that i will manage with 50. But the shy kid I am, i was confused about what to say to my 2 friends. I gave it a long thought that night before sleeping.
Next day early morning i woke up and out of no where i decided not to go to picnic. I lied to everyone in my house that i am having a heavy headache. So, we came to a conclusion that i would continue to sleep and would not go to picnic. Looking back, skipping that picnic would go as one the most stupidest decision i have ever taken considering how silly the reason was.
If you are wondering why i am writing a decade long story about a picnic, I am going on a trip to Thailand tomorrow. Actual post was suppose to have the trip info alone but suddenly the school picnic thingy popped up.
Advance Happy Christmas and Happy New Year guys.
50th post. Congratulate me guys.

Whether you be a Roman in Rome or not, never be a Hyderabadi in Hyderabad traffic. Someone should inform the guys in Hyderabad that Schumacher has no connection with Hyderabad whatsoever. ella paya pullaikum manasula schumi'nu nenappu..
I am fond of catchy quotes. Today, i was reading some quotes and ended up in this link. http://www.wordinfo.info/words/index/info/view_unit/2988
There was one not-so-catchy quote "The dictionary is the only place where divorce comes before marriage." I thought of adding some more to the list. Here is what i could come up with,
Dictionary is the only place where
- delete comes before new and free comes before malloc.
- There is no Hate but Love between India and Pakistan.
- Success, Fame, Promotion, Weekend and whatnot everything is few distance away.
- Fuck is never spelled as f**k.
- There is no Manager standing between You and Promotion.
- Man is not behind Money.
- Politician, Terrorist and Bullshit are not synonymous.
- even the most complex things cannot be questioned. eg. existence of God, Life after Death and more importantly the classical 'Chicken-Egg which comes first' problem.There is answer for everything.
- Blog is just yet another word.
I was on a booze spree last Saturday night. The fun started around 10 pm and ended around 4:30 am next morning. There was this guy,one of rizwan's team-mate who accompanied me. I was arguing with him about different things for the whole night. It was around 3:30 am and there was a discussion going on about Manchester United vs Chelsea. I and Ramak were arguing for Man U. I was arguing just for the sake of arguing. But the Chelsea guy was very seriously arguing. After a while i just wanted to cut the crap discussion and start a normal conversation.
Me: What does Chelsea mean?
Guy: Chelsea means organization,..(pause) co-ordination, discipline,....
Me: No, not that. What is the literal meaning of the word Chelsea.
Guy: That is what, Chelsea means organization, co-ordination,....(he was in no mood to give up)
Me(To myself): Ok boss,.. I surrender. You win.
Now i am wondering how many folks would have surrendered to me in the past unable to bare my repeated ramblings.
