Happy Birthday Dost!

To Shazzer.. who is still my friend even though she didn't get my CDs!

Vivacious, vibrant, loyal and fun, it's been a blast knowing you. Here's to another foot in the grave!

Shweta & Viren

Its for the birds

 

The birds in and around my home in Coimbatore.

The Duckworth Lewis Method rocks!

 

 

Princes and lawyers played with the English elite
Years of repression started a noise from the streets

CHORUS:
The age of revolution, the age of revolution
from Bangalore to Kingston, the age of revolution
Go and get your pads on, take your place in the sun
from Bangalore to Kingston, the age of revolution
It's the age of revolution... It's the age of revolution

Mankad in Madras, but suddenly Sunil is king.
Kids in the valleys, bats bound together with string, oh yeah!

"Time to take the new ball, the dollars and the rubles.
Stormont to the Oval, we're all going global."

CHORUS
It's the age of revolution... It's the age of revolution
It's the age of revolution... It's the age of revolution

Here's to the future, Punjab and Tamil Nadu.
Always remember the passion of '32, oh yeah, yeah!

"Always denied entry by the English gentry.
Now we're driving Bentley's playing 20/20"

CHORUS 2x

The Duckworth Lewis Method

Bawww

Okay. It’s epic bawww time now thanks to my friends at /b/.

So lets start you off with some tear-worthy pics -

 

  

As I’ve been telling my friend about guys…

And finally… most epic of all


Let’s continue the tearfest with our favourite children's book - Robert Munsch’s ‘Love You Forever’.

Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.

And if you were able to sit dry eyed through that (you heartless bastard)… this should get you bawwwing.

Ignis

After trolling Connaught Place for two hours trying to find Dv8 (apparently a great pub), we finally settled for Ignis bar and restaurant, mostly because we could see some muted orange ufo-esque lights shining through its huge windows. I had my misgivings, as  I didn't find much information while googling it on my iPhone, and they were justified when we walked in, as only one other table was occupied.

However, the ambiance was pretty decent. Besides the afore mentioned UFO lights,there was a wall of flickering lamps, and best of all, a panoramic view of CP and it's park (was not too hard to get a window seat considering it was empty). Nevertheless, I nearly got out and left, as after I was seated the waiter whispered in my ear, 'No hot drinks, sir. We haven't got our liquor license!'.  However, we were tired, and the seats were comfortable, so we shrugged and said what the hell.

From outside, you would be forgiven for thinking Ignis would serve european cusine, but make no mistake, Ignis is a hard core Indian restaurant.  They may have tried to diversify the menu a bit, (and you'll find a bruchetta platter and bacon stuffed chicken breast in there), but most of the menu is taken up by a variety of Indian food. And the food is quite good!

The first thing that struck us were the portions - which were quite small. But the food was tasty, and quite unique. The Chettinad mutton pepper fry was extremely spicy and succulent, while the marthaba ka meat was tangy and tasty. However, the onion and garlic pilaf and the chilli parathas left much to be desired. I finally wound up with a Kulfi which tasted like frozen milkmaid condensed milk; but's that was not a problem, coz I freakin' love milkmaid.

So, in conclusion, stay away from Ignis, unless you love UFOs. Or freakin' milkmaid.

Marriage ala TRex

The Rooftops of Norwich

I got the scars to remind me

Of watching the clocks go round
I've walked myself through somedays
That have put me where I am

 

In another time, In another place
All things might have been in place
But for now, I'm finding myself
Out here standing on a rooftop screaming

Hey world, are you listening?
Listening to me?
I'm here and I'm hurting
To begin again

It's another time, it's another place
We are making moral pace
But for now I'm finding myself
Out here standing on my doorstep screaming

Hey world, are you listening?
Listening to me?
I'm here and I'm hurting
To begin again

Hey world, I'm ready to listen
And learn something new
I'm here and I'm willing
To get myself though

A Brand New Day

The Hag that Is

Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi' perfect sconner,
Looks down wi' sneering, scornfu' view
On sic a dinner? -- Robert Burns

The man in the moon.

The moon was the closest to the earth in 15 years last weekend. It was 15% bigger and 35% brighter than normal. (http://lifehacker.com/5109010/photograph-the-biggest-full-moon-in-15-years-tonight). Well, so I photographed it.

Haloween Special - The Rhythm

MDTL is proud to present our latest guest blogger - DarkeArun, who brings us a twisted tale of horror and perversion. Without further ado..

The Rhythm:

You did it. Finally. Its all over. Its the kind of feeling you see at the end of a good horror movie. You look around. This is the moment everyone has been fighting for. But they all looked too exhausted. You decide to get some rest. So you say goodnights and go to your room with a new sense - a sense of freedom. You get your beer and play your favorite NiN songs in your computer. Then you lie back on the chair and fall asleep almost instantly. A big mistake.

Few minutes go by. Then you feel it. The same feeling that was haunting everyone for years. Something is waking you up. You knew what would happen if you wake up and turn around; you will see what you never wanna see. You are scared again. But you stay asleep and almost ignore it. After a while it stops. A moment of silence. While you are still trying to make your mind for your next move, it strikes back. This time it almost feels like an electric pulse is passing right through you. From your left to right. You even hear the buzz. You feel the wave. The rhythm. The rhythm that kills. But you stay strong and do not move. Few seconds pass and it stops. Silence. You hold on tight with your eyes still closed. You know its gonna hit back and you know its gonna hit back real bad. You hear screams from the other rooms. You try to remember where you left your transposer. Too late. You are hit again. And this time with a real strong force. It freezes you. You have no control. You scream. And then....you open your eyes. It twists you back and forth real fast in the chair. It feels worse than a roller coaster ride. You try to see, but its all so dark. You just keep screaming. Then almost instantly everything stops. And you just drop on your table. You open your eyes again. You see the progress bar moving from 99% to 100%. Then you see the word that haunts you for the rest of your life - MDTL.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Diwali 2008

In support of Raj Thackeray...

A forward I got.

We all should support Raj Thackeray and take his initiative ahead by doing more... 

1.   We should teach our kids that if he is second in class, don't study harder.. just beat up the student coming first and throw him out of the school

2.    Parliament should have only Delhi-ites as it is located in Delhi

3.    Prime-minister, president and all other leaders should only be from Delhi

4.    No Hindi movie should be made in Bombay. Only Marathi.

5.    At every state border, buses, trains, flights should be stopped and staff changed to local men

6.    All Maharashtrians working abroad or in other states should be sent back as they are SNATCHING employment from Locals

7.    Lord Shiv, Ganesha and Parvati should not be worshipped in our state as they belong to north (Himalayas)

8.     Visits to Taj Mahal should be restricted to people from UP only

9.     Relief for farmers in Maharashtra should not come from centre because that is the money collected as Tax from whole of India, so why should it be given to someone in Maharashtra?

10.   Let's support Kashmiri Militants because they are right in killing and injuring innocent people for the benefit of their state and community..

11.   Let's throw all MNCs out of Maharashtra, why should they earn from us? We will open our own Maharashtra Microsoft, MH Pepsi and MH Marutis of the world

12.    Let's stop using cellphones, emails, TV, foreign Movies and dramas. James Bond should speak Marathi

13.    We should be ready to die hungry or buy food at 10 times higher price but should not accept imports from other states

14.    We should not allow any industry to be set-up in Maharashtra because all machinery comes from outside

15.    We should STOP using local trains... Trains are not manufactured by Marathi manoos and Railway Minister is a Bihari

16.    Ensure that all our children are born, grow, live and die without ever stepping out of Maharashtra, then they will become true Marathi's

JAI MAHARASHTRA!
