Well, after all the hullabaloo, my father is planning to get me married to a girl who lives near mama's family after i mentioned to my dad that I kinda liked her. Trust my dad to pursue relations that suit the current family setup.

Why does Hina teach or attend meetings for Mad Arise, a community that teaches street children

Why do I keep seeing things. Things like Nayna Curtains, Nayana on the back of an autorickshaw, Naina when a employee at TISS mentions it, and Nayna on our TISS passout card given to us by juniors

Between environmental science for the Pentagon, UPSC studies for Police Academy and Policy assignments of Archana Mehendale of TISS, I am torn as to what to do next. Whether to do UPSC, continue with Environmental Science or TISS which of course I have to complete

I was thinking of Bhagyalakshmi when a autorickshaw (a three wheeler) named Lakhsmi happened to pass by. What Hangaroo had to say about it, "Too much of a good thing" "Windmills of the Gods" "Grin and bear it"

दृढ़ व्यक्ति बाधाओं के निदान में शॉर्टकट नहीं ढूंढ़ता

-दृढ़ रहना एक तपस्या है। संसार में जिसको अनुशासन का नाम दिया गया है, धर्म ने उसे दृढ़ता कहा है।

I was thinking of what Julie ma'am said about irumbampuli when a kid calls and asks me "Julie Ma'amindey veedu aano" I think I have alien nation figured out.

Another amul ad shows the three ex ministers who were made to resign as they were watching some hardcore stuff. The title says triple-ex-ministers. If i attribute the triple-x title to myself from the vin diesel movie triple-x where vin diesel works for the u.s. govt but never get's credit for his work. If i became a minister in any govt and became popular for allegedly working for the CIA, i would also be called triple-x minister and then as i am simply playing a word game in my alleged communication with the CIA, the amul ad is right "Never adult-rated"

I can't find that mail now. I got a mail from Nature magazine. And part of the mail read like this. The first line had "arsenic" right at the end of it. And the second part is the very next line had "hide in time" in it. Both these lines deeply relate to a certain experience I had. I had attended a New York Film academy meeting in Pune where i met Simon Hunter and mentioned to him that "Arsenic and old lace" is a very good movie, and then I thought in my mind "Being in movies was a good way to hide in time".

I wonder who decides what is going to be presented in each episode of vodafone comedy stars now that it is owned by Murdoch or is it by chance that they talk about episodes in my life in as detail as perhaps the green-eyed monster would only know.

When I went to meet the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Indian army's southern command, Lt Gen A K Singh, I mentioned to him that I worked for the CIA and that we communicate through a secure system and I told his second in command a certain officer Sandhu that I work for the Kailas Dept of the Pentagon. A few days later there was a cartoon in mumbai edition of Indian Express that came to Ahmednagar. The cartoon depicted Uncle Sam sitting over Kashmir with his cloak spread over the Himalayas. Serendipity or the unconquered?

I used to wonder why Hangaroo played around with my life. Then I realised when someone passed this message.
"In someone's shadow"
What followed was
"Taken to the cleaners"
And It dawned on me what was happening. It was just another psy-ops operation which never wanted me on the other side. Though I came across some fields of wonder.

Snehathumbi njan illey koodey

"Sneha thumbi njan illey koodey..." this song was playing on the radio one night when I was alone with a dark butterfly in my room trying to find it's way out and i saved the dark butterfly by cupping it in my palms and letting it out in the open when it was finding it tough to find it's way out. Serendipity or The Unconquered.

I checked. Yesterday. Four hair on my chest gone white. My beard... going white. And I am only thirty two. As they say, you are only as old as you feel. I should start exercising regularly to feel younger. As for the woman I love. There ain't any near me. I am as far away from women I love as physically possible. I guess for a love life I would have to look at age fifty to start one. A pirate looks at fifty. What they say is right. The road to true love never runs smooth.

When I was exhibiting Mycrow Shay Dan on my facebook profile citing Indian army, I noticed that one of the Navy articles had a misspelling "shay" in the following week. I didn't mention it to anybody. As I remember it now, they spelt INS Sahyadri as INS Shayadri. :)

When I was in TISS gym, i felt that every song on 93.5 was attuned to what was happening around me. Then there was 'Run of the mill' our professor who used to run on the running mill and now todays amul picture ad featuring "yuvi" "Yu" and "Vi" will fight this together showing a girl and yuvi on mills just like they were placed in TISS gym. I can't wait to watch the Amul ads as they seem to be talking to me.

The Celestine Prophecy
Live with it

It was my thought that a fake tooth with titanium fitted could be used as a communication device and subsequently, eventually, micromax mobiles came up with an ad where a painful tooth was replaced by a bluetooth device.

Today we were discussing "Using thoughts(more than fingers) to control in gaming" and Elvid said "Every which way but loose". It turned out to be the name of a Clint Eastwood movie.

I flicked on a random television channel and hit upon a malayalam channel. A person was arguing. He was saying "Read my lips" "Read my face". I flicked channels and came upon CNN-IBN. "Mr.Gopal I want to hear you speak" said Rajdeep Sardesai on CNN-IBN. Your guess is as good as mine, this is Contact by Carl Sagan at work. As they say "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Don't confuse 'Contact' with any ailment, it's grossly misunderstood.

Lightening never strikes twice in the same spot

I remember the day when Pocahontas unfriended me from her facebook friends list for posting the song "Lightening crashes live" onto her profile and then in the evening lightening actually crashed live and burnt out my internet modem. Memories

A wrong number call was made to our home telephone number by a kid looking for someone called Abhinandini. Nandini is my professor, where did Abhi come from? On intuition, i logged onto ibibo games and found a guy called Abhi Bhagwat waiting to be friends. What do i make of it. From women's studies to a decade in gaming? Any pointers. The very next time I log onto ibibo, i find the name Rajesh Kumar occupying the space where Abhi Bhagwat stood. Now Rajesh Kumar is the Language Mind and Society professor for whom I wrote a brilliant book review of the book par excellence "Steven Pinker's The Language Instinct"
