Haaaaahaaaaahaaaaa!!!!....

Ok I saw this post on one of my friends' walls and found it particularly funny...

A: Is that car a Jaguar?
B: Yes
A: Where is the hood ornament?
B: It's a sports model, it doesn't have one!
A: What's the point of buying a Jaguar without the panther on the hood??

***end of joke***

For those who didn't get it, watch out for the words in bold!... I can't give you a clue bigger than that!!!!!....

Unsociali-zinggggg...

(Wow!... it was only when I wrote the heading that I realised that there's a 'Zing' in unsocializing too!!...)

It's 2k11!!!... 11 years after the Y2K, and the world is running just as fine!... though I'm almost two weeks late, happy New Year to all the very very few people who actually read this blog!!... have a great year!!... we don't have much time left.... 2012's just a year away!...

Nothing much has happened in the past two weeks really... the company's New Year party was fun... games, singing, dancing, drinking, doing nothing, watching others have fun and a lot more... then there was the company guitarist belting out some numbers... oh and of course, there was Summer of '69... where there's mallus and rock music, there's always Summer of '69... I still remember last year's New Year party... there were people from just about everywhere in the world (though the majority was mallussss!)... it looked more like a World Cultural Conference than a New Year Party!... anyways there was this mallu rock band from somewhere in India... think it was Delhi... (mallus don't have the habit of staying back in Kerala and calling themselves 'Mallus' once they become famous... once/if I become famous, I intend on telling the world I'm from Bihar... or maybe Orissa... (Mumbai and Delhi have become too old and boring))... for the first three hours, everyone was seated at their respective tables while the band continued their singing... I could even hear a few aunties complaining, "Why can't these bledy fellows sing some malayalam songs??!!! who wants to listen to all this rubbish?!"... once the booze was out, a few uncles showed the courage to go forward and show off their dancing skills, which seemed very very inappropriate... Indians should never dance to a song that is not Indian... Rajnikant's 'Devuda Devuda' steps for 'Hotel California' is very very very weird!!!... anyways, the band finally decided to sing Summer of '69 around close to midnight... and that was when the crowd went wild... uncles and aunties were running around the place screaming... and... then.... and thennnn.... and then what?... and then nothing!... my point was, Indians are crazy about 'Summer of '69'... I somehow lost track in between... :P... ok back to the party... hmmm.... then there was nothing much... oh!!!... of course, there were the cheesecakes!!!.... which was a wonderful sight to behold... (after I moved out of Chennai, I have always been on the hunt for the perfect place for the perfect cheesecake... sadly, mallu bakers haven't even heard of cheesecakes, let alone the perfect one!)... a tear escaped from my eye when I saw the gazillion slices of cheesecakes spread lavishly over the dessert table... I was in a tranced up condition... I was transported far far away to Cheesecake Land... where I married Ms. Cheesecake, and we had several little Cheesecakes running around the house... we would eat cheesecakes for breakfast, cheesecakes for lunch, and cheesecakes for dinner... I would spend the night drinking gin and cheesecake juice... and when I fought with Mrs. Cheesecake, we would throw cheesecakes at each other... I was in this wonderful Cheesecake dream for a while, before I snapped back to reality... and then I went on to stuffing myself with cheesecakes...

I guess it's the hit I took today that's totally affected my thinking... I was taking a walk from the pantry to my desk at work today... when THUDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!! my shoulder crashed into a fire extinguisher hanging on the wall... no problem yet... and then there was a smaller THUD (with only a single 'D').... that was the noise of the fire extinguisher breaking from it's position on the wall and falling to the ground (under normal circumstances, that was supposed to set off the fire alarm for the entire building... luckily for me, the alarm wasn't working!)... and then there was silence... pin-drop silence... suddenly, a hundred heads turned up from their respective cubicles in unison and glared at only one thing... ME!!!!... a small group came rushing forward to see whether the fire extinguisher was alright... I screamed in pain inside my head... I almost expected my arm to fall off... anyways, now my arm's alright... but my brain has still not recovered from the trauma...

Woooo... it's 2011!!!... a whole new year!!... and it doesn't even feel like a new year... at this point of time, I'm going through the same mindframe that I was in back in 1999, when, for the first time in my life, I heard about the world going to end... at that time, throughout the year 1999 I was busy making plans to hide under the strongest table available to escape the world's fate... but that was then... right now, I'm busy calculating at what rate I should be saving up so that I can afford one of those spaceships for two which will transport my girl and me far far away to the moon....

PS.: for the idiots, New Year with the capital 'N' and 'Y' is the occasion, new year with the small 'n' and 'y' is... ermmm.... uhmmm.... the opposite of old year...
