SAVING??? ya right...

Saw X men- the last stand..
okay this is not a movie review...I just wanna say cool flick..I hadnt seen the first 2 parts..but then it was cool
The best mutant was the chick who could go through walls!!! It was just fascinating...
hehe

anyway...So on my way back home...This pal of mine and I decide to save money(after spending 100 bux on a ticket+ 45 bux on coke+45 bux on latte) yea after tht I decide to save money! so we take a bus to our destination.
The bus was CROWDED....and it came after a long wait...so there were a lotta ppl..
now for some reason the conductor did not come behind to give us a ticket...and we thought we will take it when appreoching the last stop, by then the congestion will decrease...
SO...the last stop ws there, and by this time the conductor was in the front section of the bus, so when we were getting down, we went upto the conductor and asked him for the ticket( cuz we din intend to travel free of cost)..but the conductor sez"abhi fine bharo"
I was like "wtf!"
So was my pal...
so we got down....argued with tht guy..who was yelling at us for not buying the tickets and claiming that the fine is 200 bux but I am only fining you for 15 bux...!
"ya right" was the look exchanged between I and my friend.
Well, the argument went for about 5 more mins, I tried by best to convice him that WE DID not intend to travel FREE OF COST, and that genuinely the conductor was far away..
but alas, who can argue with them, I thought, damn lets just pay this and get away asap...
So he takes our names , writes it on that fine reciept..and hands it to us...

ALL rickwalas were staring at us...sum wht this on their mind" ya right, travel freely", or more like just plain "hahaha"

WE take the next rick available and leave for our destination....

So there goes my effort to save some money...

Hey but I have a ticket...! did sumthin illegal....guess I can say that.

This...is..

loooong time no post...
Things have changed...or may be I am thinking they have?
Well...
Things have been very chilled out as of now
I mean there is simply nothing to do
anyway

Following is something I am gonna come up with:

-----------warning: itz totally random and on the spot------

So this is what I came up with
itz not a rhyme and not a lymmeric

(tht sux already)

too much time,
too less mind,
too much boredom,
too less of mine

but he wasnt there

she always wanted to be there

but itz better to be left, when you know you are right...



There is a change..a big one

I always have some one

the day begins, the day ends,

but with you my friend...

there is no room to pretend..

MARRY ME

Met a few Skool pals today...
was a lot of fun...
This friend of mine...I met him after 4 years..I arrived late first...had to apologize a lot:p
then we were just discussin things ..like what have u been upto types...
During the convo...I sed "stupid" for sumthin...and he sez thats not stupid , u used the wrong word...My reply was " no thats not stupid itz funny stupid"...
My pal suggested we through my defininations again of stupid, cute,nice ,sweet etc etc
turns out to be
that I have subsets for every adjective,which people do not understand...
anyway..
something different..When I m in bombay, there are ways, strange guyz come and hit on you...In Lagos, they also had a way...
If they wanted to talk/flirt/tease etc etc the only thing they'll ask is:
"Will You marry me"

Now thats what i call FORWARD!
:P
seriously, on my way back from Atlas Island, the guy who was helping us to get into the boat asked me " Are you married? Would you marry me?"

a guy outside the parking lot of a departmental store yelled "Marry Me"

and finally when I was leavin Nigeria, at the Lagos Airport, after my immigration is over and the security gaurd is checking my bag, he casually asks looking at me
"So you are an Indian?"
I say "yes"
"You live here?"
I say"No , just visiting family."
"Are you married?"
I smile and say " No"
"Would you marry a Nigerian?"
I say "No."
"Why" he asks"
"ummm..well ..Just"
I smile..
He smiles...

Whoa...
I must say this one was quite polite!!!

"The List"

A good Sunday...Alonso won and that made me really very happy.
...
and I am back..back to my adda..that;p---Bombay..yep
Returned from the African voyage ...was amazin...awesome...has a great time!
If I was on an Oprah Winfrey show i would have simthing like:" the ecperience changed me as a person"
but I aint there..and wudnt hacve sed tht anyway....the truth is it changed my thinking...makes you question lots of things in life...in this world!
anyway....Now I am back to surfin the net more often...doin more timepass...and etc etc...
My plan of action as for now.....
--->sleep( as if that was never there)
----> watch sum more movies
----> bake a cake I think I am good at it....considering the last one was quite good
-----> blog more often
-----> ....
OKAY I accept that list was extremely useless....

will blog again..about something better...
cheers.

Visitors can rent these for a day and relax in em.

Ok now I gotta tell you guyz this...

on our way to this beach. A man in uniform stopped us, on the road.My dad asked him what was the matter, he sez"Sir, I want my weekend chop"

weekend chop basically refers to chai paani equivalent here. So turns out to be the Cop officially stops most of the cars on that road and mints 50 naira(18 Rs) more each car.

And he peeps inside looks at my mum and I and sez"I like Chinese people, my next weekend will be in China".

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!

okay, so we look Chinese....that's news to me.

Ice age II

I already tol ya guyz I saw Ice Age II

and the scrat thing was as usual good
and the mini sloth sequence..oh come on don temme u guyz din laugh in the theatre when you tht sequence..I did!

go and watch it....I m probably gonna see cuz of sid the sloth!

BlAh bLaH

I saw "Humko Deewana Kar gaye"
Don't even ask me whyyy
cuz I m still asking myself
damn.....what an utter waste of time...My parents wanted to watch a movie..so did I cuz we hadn't been to a theatre here...but unfortunately this was the movie running in the evening show...
Anyway, so this si the second most pathetic movie I have seen, first one being Home Delivery...man a torture I must say
anyway...do I use that word too often...hmmm
so tom I m going for a better cinematic experience by watchin Ice age II :the meltdown.
It rained here like crazy today, was really pleasant.

Just a thought: How many mins/hours do we spend waiting in a day on an average?
I usually wait for a bus, then a train, then for sum friends, then for the lecture to get over, then for the sandwich to be made by the coll sandwichwallah or a sezwan dosa which I must say is a delicacy of many things offered outside my college, then I wait for the same means of transport.
Or I just wait for my fav tv show -LOST...hey I wait a lot...what about u guyz..??

Shows to look out for on tv and if you can download : Everybody Hates Chris, based on Chris Rock's life. Lost season II, Grey's anatomy, CSI:NEW YORK, Project Runway and yeah...JOEY!!!
ofcourse this is meant for people who have nothing to do...that is...moi!

cheers.

Pics from the Atlas Island

Here are a few pics which I took from the boat.
a lil bit of Lagos skyline on the right.

Somewhere in the middle of Equatorial Atlantic

I had an awesome day today!!!!Did the most amazing thing...
myself, my family and a few other families went to Atlas Beach, Lagos.
The journey was quite interesting, one has to take a boat from a suburb called Victoria Island, the boat ride is a lot of fun, lasts around 10 to 15 mins.
Enter Atlas beach, it's an Island actually, enter Atlas Island, and how does one disembark from the boat, simple..jump into the water!...yep u read correctly, there is no place where you can anchor the boat, so we had to get off on the beach...
First glance, WOW....there were shacks all around...most of them occupied, we ran towards an empty one and conquered it.
changed and jumped into the clean bluish green water...
coming to the most amazing thing...
u guys seen a surfing board, d-uh you have!This board I was swimming on, is similar, but you have to lie flat on your stomach and try going in front...and this is not a surfing board, I think it's called a floating board...
I was lying on my back, the sky staring at my face, soaking up the atlantic sun,and the board floating in tune with the waves, after sumtime I realised that I was in deep waters, and I was drifting away from the shore..then all of a sudden this HUGE wave flips my board ...and there I was, thrown into the water!....it was so awesome, I found my breath and started swimming to the shore...
Later on , I was lying on the sand, thats a different thing that i ended up getting sun burns cuz I forgot to apply sunscreen amidst all the excitement...
MAN... I love beaches and this Equatorial Island blew my mind!
will post more pics soon.
cheers.
