Just Books(2)

Finished with Is Paris Burning finally, Took a really long time. It is worth the time, nothing less to be expected from Larry Colllins and Domnique Lappeiere. They make you feel like you are reading a fast paced action Robert Ludlum kind of novel and not an event in history. Fantastic read, I just hope these Germans and French people had names which were easier to pronounce and remember, Gets a bit tough to remember who is who, with so many people who were part of this historic event.

Picked up The Secret, So far so Good !

Dont quote me on this !

I have been tagged by some people and i have never been able to do them till date, and then there are tags by Usha, which i finish off in a jiffy ; Simple reason she has promised i can bill my time on her ! So now you know what you got to do if you want your tags finished !

This is what the tag is about: “Jot down 5 of your favorite quotes from the various books you’ve read. If you don’t have the books with you now, googling (Wikiquotes and the like) can be used to find them. Tag five people and acknowledge the person who tagged you.”

KOB and KOC

I remember reading in some magazine, every month they would have a column titled " Kick in the Rear" and " Pat on the back" or something.

This is something i have consituted on the same lines.

KOB = Kick on the Butt and KOC = Kiss on the Cheek !
And this weeks nominations are ...

A KOB to the guy who sits next to me in the cab,dozes off and bangs his head on my shoulder every now and then and sometimes uses my shoulder as a convenient headrest too !

A KOC to any girl who would want to do the same :o)

Till Next time.....

I Accept Defeat !

YES !! Don't hate me for saying this ! But i always wondered why people have moderation / word verification enabled on the comments that people would want to leave on thier posts. I did not like doing that at all, I absolutely hated typing words like "Aghyrtu", "Phtefg" and the the likes. Every time i did that, There was a small "*&^%$^%&%" for the person on whose blog i was commenting :o) He He.. Still i am a frequent visitor on thier blogs.. shhhh ! No Names :o) Yes you ! i am talking about you !!!

But i accept defeat today and have done the same thing on my blog ! I am fedup of some crap comments being left on my posts at random and me having to go and delete them every time.

So i am sorry for all the nasty thoughts i had when i commented on your blogs, And Please dont give me "%^&*$#@$%^ when you have do the same on my blog !

Keep them coming!

Festive Conversations

Spent the last couple of days in Mangalore.

A long lost contact sprang up on Gtalk !

Me: What Nero?
M: I want to burn My CD's
Me: CD Burn Ko Nero Kyon chahiye? Thoda sa Kerosene Dal aur Macchhis laga de!!
{Silence}
{Silence}
Me: Jala Diya ?
Me: Burnt ?
Me: Khud Bhi Jal gala ?

Took my Granny to some 13th day function of some old aged lady who is a distant relative and i have no idea who they are !

Random Guy1 : Oh Santosh! Its been so many years since i saw you, you have changed completely ! {so what did you expect, me to stopping growing at the age of 7 so that you can recognize me 20 years later?}

Random Guy2: Oh ! did you recognize me ? {No ! And i dont plant o trouble my memory cell either}

Random Lady1: So you are staying in Bangalore now? How much rent do you pay ?? { Next Lady.. or Next Question please !!!}

But i am so happy i took my granny there, It really made her day and she had not expected in her wildest dreams i will accept her invitation and actually accompany her. My good karma for the day or for the year may be !
