Okay. I havent written these lines. If you have seen 'A Lot Like Love' you sud be laffing your ass off by now. Flirting at its best.

okk. We went to Nandini for lunch this afternoon. I have eaten at many AP Special restaurant here. And i absolutely love them. ek photu toh chipka hee deta hun.

left mein Tyagi aur saath mein PandeyJi. They were so excited about this pic when i told them that i was gonna post it on this great blog. Khusi chipaaye nahi chip rahi unse, nahi??! ok. they were quite indifferent about the pic as they know that noone reads this blog so its more like uploading an image onto web.

okay in a side news, i almost got my ass kicked. something quite-bloggable happened this saturday. i was with tyagi as he has got a laptop (the only thing that ensures that friends meet on weekends!) So as planned we went to this DVD wala store
(rent pe dene wali) and got ourselves Monalisa Smile. Everything was nice. And then it happened. We couldnt listen what Julie Stiles was saying to Julia Roberts and we decided this was the time to return the DVD and get a new one. So we went back to the store. And the man there was quite an asshole. He kept on saying that the problem is with laptop and DVD is ok!(as it turned out to be!) So he was speaking to tyagi about something and suddenly oversmart me thought of some vital points which could have won us the argument and i intervened. And now, i am not sure if he said 'SHUT UP' (Shetaaaaaap!) or something else but the effect was that i was outta 'hosh' for a second of two. And then we (ok, tyagi!) politely asked him to talk to us with some respect. He said it was not a gud manner to interrupt someone when he is talking. I definitely did not agree. So the situation reached to point where we proposed that we wud get a new vcd for mona lisa smile and also pay 40 rupees extra for DVD. Some diplomatic delegates we were, right! but then i was fuming with anger. so i picked up the fight again. i told him that we were customers and he was the service provider. by law, we were not supposed to be handled in that rough manner. that we were the gawd. that he existed becus of us. so, wenever i talk my voice is usually a level higher than the normal level. and i am not sure what level i was at when i was fighting with him. plus i had to talk to him in my tooti-footi angrezi and it was not helping either. so here was another guy, apne store-wale ke pehchaan ka saayad, and he explained to him in kannada that how the dvd was all hunky dory and laptops sud never be used to play movies. And i interrupted again.

'Now he is talking to him... in whatever language he is talking in!'

And that was it. uski aankhein krodh ki agni mein jalne lagein. 'Fuck you + some kannada word' he threw at me as he tried to get out of the store, towards me. he repeated them for quite some time. Twice. NAah, it was thrice. watever. aur meri literally fat li. Ok.

Well. tyagi returned the VCD this morning.(I had left early this morning to get to my apartment!) and he(the angry young man!) did not take extra charges for the DVD. Sala last mein hero ban gaya. When tyagi insisted on giving the money, he said ki
he also had aatm-samman or something and he was angry in night because 'that guy irritated him.'

well, now i wud write abt how i felt about this whole incident and the lessons learnt. well, i felt like a complete idiot. And me generally feeling like an idiot did not make things easy for me at all. first i tried to justify my act by the logic that that guy was real rude to us. but still. i am an idiot. what i said was preposterous and what he said was outright offensive. i was mad becus i cud not kick his ass and i was mad becus if even he had kicked my ass i wud have not minded. And i was mad becus i cud not let go of this incident as just another incidnet. 'theek hai yaar. life hai. hota hai.' i tried telling me a hundred times. i smoked a cigarette. cos thats the only thing i have seen kool people do to tackle their acts of stupidity.

aah. i hope writing this down will help me get this thing out of my system. Plus i gathered taht it was a real funny incident to blog about. kahan aate hain aishe avsar when you get your ass almost kicked!
