Main Lehtan Hoon Na

Hahahaha...I can't get over this. Read this article. The funniest part of this article is it's title. Sab Ki Leta Hai. How suitable.

A History of 'Kalegi'

  • I'm still uncomfortable with my current academic experience being called an 'undergraduate'. Like what the hell!! This is way too much work to be called 'under'-anything.
  • I really badly want to watch 'A History of Violence'. But too bad all movies have to wait until December break now :( . Thankfully that's about when 'Family' comes out :) .
  • I know I can't express fully in words how awesome and powerful I think Amitabh's performance was in 'Virrudh', and for the time being I won't attempt to either. But just to scratch the surface, I definitely rank it in his top 4 or 5 best career performances. Watch it! The movie is great also.
  • I really hate Brampton Transit!! Unreliable, bad timings. In this sense, I'm envious of Mississauga-ers.
  • I cooked 'kalegi' (chicken liver) the other day for the first time...It turned out great. Way to go Ranu! **pats himself on the back**
  • Damn, I actually did that not realizing that I'm sitting in a computer lab full of people. Now I'm going to have to do it a few more times so that people think that's just how I stretch. Ok, maybe not.
  • Shit! Now everyone thinks I'm physically handicapped.
  • Looks like I am going to have to buy a damn parking pass after all.
  • I can't imagine how tough it must be to try to raise a family in a 'foreign'/new country. Props to most of our parents for this.
  • Note to amateur sports organizations and professional sports leagues: If you really don't want your athletes to use steroids and really want to get rid of all the negative publicity it creates then make the violation punishment a lifetime suspension from the league!!
  • TV shows that ruled my childhood: Thundercats, Three's Company, Seseme Street, Care Bears, Price is Right, That's Incredible, and Paki Dot Door.
  • The NHL might actually win me back as an avid fan. But there are still way too many regular season games. Cut back on them a bit and make each one more meaningful.
  • The NFL just rocks.
  • A few fun things I'd love to experience/accomplish before I'm 30: Write and publish a book, run a marathon, coach a kids sports team (most probably soccer, but I'd love to coach a football team), visit Punjab while my grandparents are there, benchpress 250 lbs, travel through India (not just Punjab), graduate (hehe), play basketball in an organized league, and last but certainly not least, meet and get a pic taken with Amitabh.

In the great words of Arjun Singh vald Dashrath Singh vald Bheem Singh...

"I know such English that I will leave the British behind. You see sir, I can talk English, I can walk English, I can laugh English, I can run English, because English is such a funny language. Bhairo becomes Byron because their minds are very narrow. In the year 1929 when India was playing Australia at the Melbourne stadium Vijay Hazare and Vijay Merchant were at the crease. Vijay Merchant told Vijay Hazare. look Vijay Hazare Sir , this is a very prestigious match and we must consider it very prestigiously. We must take this into consideration, the consideration that this is an important match and ultimately this consideration must end in a run. In the year 1979 when Pakistan was playing against India at the Wankhede stadium Wasim Raja and Wasim Bari were at the crease and they took the same consideration. Wasim Raja told Wasim Bari, look Wasim Bari, we must consider this consideration and considering that this is an important match we must put this consideration into action and ultimately score a run. And both of them considered the consideration and ran and both of them got out."

10 months later...little has changed

Damn! 10 months just flew by like that. I can't believe that it's been 10 months since I last updated my blog. I don't think we missed much though. It seems like little has changed...
  • I still prefer to just fire random thoughts in my blogs.
  • I really need to put an end to my nail-biting habit. Any suggestions?
  • I still think SRK is gay. Not necessarily literally, but you know how I mean. If you're not quite sure, click here. Enough said. Thank-you.
  • I'm still at Erindale....and therefore, I'm still fluent in Chinese and Urdu.
  • Oh, and so I'm also still expected to pay $600 for a parking pass!
  • Taal is still one of the best hindi albums in the last couple of decades.
  • Phil is still one of the least punctual people i've ever met. Well, I'm still waiting to meet him actually...he's running late.
  • Moe still manages to make spectacular catches of any football thrown in his general direction. He's got great hand-ball coordination.
  • Gagan still manages to mistake what general direction he's supposed to run in.
  • Emad's still in Pakistan. This time I mean the larger Pakistan....as opposed to Erindale.
  • Maria still makes great kabobs.....mmmm kabobs...be right back.
  • I still think Jamie Fox's performance in Ray was over-rated and that Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda) deserved the best actor Oscar.
  • Fantasy Football is still an annual religious pilgrimage.
  • And last but not least, Gagan's still excited that Ria's going to become a 'farmist' and give us Jatts good company.
Hopefully I can get back to blogging on a regular basis. Take it easy folks. G'luck this year in school and work.
