The bench..

Farhan, Jay, Raghav and Ranveer were sitting in his room, watching Friends on the computer. It was the final year of engineering and neither of them had gone to college that day. Farhan, Jay and Ranveer were in the same engineering branch in college and Raghav was from differnet branch. It was around 4pm and Farhan said he was hungry, he looked out of the window and the shop outside hadnt opened and he mumbled to himself "eggs and bread have to wait for another half n hour more...damn it"...and they all got back to watching Friends...

As the episode was about to finish, it was nearing 4.30 and the shop was about to open, Jay said to Farhan, "arre Farhan miyan, hang on...have patience..it will open up..then you can hog on all you want"..Raghav and Ranveer were laughing at the sight of Farhan struggling to control his hunger...

At 4.45 the sound of the shop shutters opening came like music to Farhan, it was like Bitter sweet symphony to his ears and he dashed out of the room to buy some eggs and bread...Raghav, Jay and Ranveer all went hysterical at his speed of running out...5 minutes later Farhan came back running in and shouted.."Ranveer..that first year girl..is coming..arre the same girl...the sardarni...you have a crush on", Ranveer retorts back.."oye i dont have any crush on her...just that she is kinda cute"...and then Jay jumps in.."Ranveer dont lie...we know you have a crush on her"...and Ranveer keeps denying it...

"You should go talk to her"..say Farhan, "she will take 5 minutes to get here...go and talk to her..she is walking back to her flat alone...".

"Yes Ranveer go dude, go..be a man...go talk to her"..jump in Raghav and Jay in a chorus...Ranveer was now cornered with nothing else to do but to go out and talk to her..."Damn it, why does this happen to me...what will i talk to her about...i will end up making a fool out of myself".

"Arre nothing will happen...just go and talk to her"...says Farhan. "You are a big flirt, Farhan...I am not...it is not that easy for me to go and just talk to some girl out there"..."You will learn my boy..just go" and Ranveer is kicked out of the room..on to the street...

Ranveer sees her walking toward the room..and he starts walking towards her..Farhan, Jay and Raghav are hiding behind the curtain of the window outside Ranveer's room and looking at the scene that is going to develop. Ranveer and the girl meet exactly outside Ranveer's room where there is a stone bench on the street, "Hi, how are you, i am Ranveer, we are in the same college". The girl taken aback replies " Oh hi, I am Simran(as if Ranveer didnt know) ".

Ranveer(with all the thoughts going on in his head) blurts.."So you are in first year right?", Simran just nods. " I am in final year IT". "Ok", says Simran. Ranveer(thinking to himself what should i say next)..."So are you liking the college?".."Yes it is fine, anyways i have to go my roommate must be waiting", says Simran. " Oh ok..no probs...see ya around" says Ranveer and they both walk off...

Once she is out of sight, Ranveer runs back to the room to see all his 3 friends going hysterical, laughing their guts out , Farhan had even forgotten about his hunger...and then Ranveer also started laughing...They all laughed for the next 10minutes..lost in the moment of foolishness and how stupid and funny things can be...

"Boy, you have made me proud" says Farhan, "Ya Ya... I knw you jerk...you guys had fun at my expense"..says Ranveer..."lol..we are going to remember this incident by that very bench, man..this is where you went out and spoke to that girl" says Farhan..." lol..you all are such assholes" says Ranveer and they all start laughing...

flirting types

Been a long time...have been travelling alot over the last week...Delhi - Chandigarh- Shimla- Delhi - Shimla- Delhi....all in a weeks time..and the travelling is gonna increase more next week...since i have to start visiting the towns in Haryana..

anyways i had done this post before too..but not with the same result...so doing it just for the heck of it...

WHAT TYPE OF A FLIRT R U

The Romantic Flirt

Being the romantic flirt you love to be in love. The feeling of being in love is intoxicating for you and you are generally just a bit disappointed when this feeling inevitably wears off in a relationship and moves onto a more relaxed stage when you get to know someone better. You are a sensual flirt and you make others feel very special. You give your whole and you expect it back, however sadly this does not always happen and you don't receive the consideration and compassion that you show others. Also you're a touchy feely person and when you flirt you do this naturally. If you are too touchy feely it can appear to others that you come on too strong too soon which can be a turn off. You may need to use some conscious self-control in this area until you know them better.


Not that i believe in all this...but then lets see ur take on it...lemme know what type of a flirt r u :) :)

Singh is Kinng!! Ver 2.0

Singh is Kinng!!!! I saw the movie last saturday with my family...n i had a good time..though the movie doesnt have a story..but still it is a complete entertainer....Katrina looks awesome..n i mean...the word awesome needs to be redefined for her : ) :)...Akshay Kumar looks amazing in the proper turban he is shown wearing mostly in the songs...after Sunny Deol...he is probably the only to look good with a turban on screen!!

Now coming back to the thought behind the post...and this is directly for the women out there...

"How many of you would be willing to be asked out/go on a date/be in a relationship with a turbaned Sikh guy??" (and not Akshay :D :D )

I am asking this because till a few years back, a huge numbers of girls werent willing too due to n number of reasons...I just want to see if the trend has changed over a period of say 4 odd years or not?

Well i have edited this post (i never wanted to put all these up..but then somehow i thought the point i was trying to make wasnt getting across)..and added some stuff here....and im gonna tell some of the conversations i have had with girls over relationships with girls..

girl 1: i dont knw, but its really difficult to imagine being intimate with so much facial hair..
me (thinking):no comments...

girl 2: surdy's look older for their age..

girl 2: u knw i ld to love run my hands in the guys hair...n thts not possible with a surd...

These are some of the statements i have heard from girls over not wanting to be in a relationship with a surdy guy...

P.S Guys u can comment on the movie..lol...or anything else u ld like to comment on :D :D :D

cheers!!

the social networking fad..

I was reading this newspaper article in the HT today about Facebook being the new gossip manager for people...

With all the 3rd party applications that are available on Facebook one can actually gossip without actually talking about it...FB (Facebook= FB) itself highlights whatever is going on in the other person's life...who all he/she added..what is his/her relationship status etc...who all added new pics et al...

There were some comments by FB users as well..which were like..." i can use this to spy on my ex bf"...."i take my camera at all my parties and i am so gonna put up the pics on FB"...and they went on and on.....

Well i am myself a user of FB and Orkut...and i too use them for my networking...more often than not for staying in touch with friends from my school...college...previous work place...MBA school..current work place...and some blogger friends...but then do i use any of these as gossip monger?? I prefer to use orkut over FB because it is so much easier to scrap and just say what you want to say....FB is just so tiresome..so many applications...install this..install that..and the browser goes for a toss....

Like all new tools..FB too has its honeymoon period going on..like orkut did an year back or so...and soon the craze would fade away..and a new social networking tool would emerge...the evolution continues..Yahoo messenger > Msn Messenger > Orkut > Facebook > .......

cheers!!...
