nobody's perfect!

There is a new channel on air from UTV called 'World Movies'.. Shows cinema from all over the world. The movies are not dubbed but are instead shown with subtitles. somehow dubbing kills the entire movie.. Sometimes while fiddling with the remote , I have seen Rambo uttering dialogues in shudh hindi. looks horrible to say the least. Anyways the channel is on air for about a weeek now and my weekends could not have gone any better.. They have a marked preference to spanish dramas.. Maybe they will move to other genres but right now it's all cool with me..

Watched one tonight called 'Nobody's perfect!'.. It's a story about three friends who are disabled in one way or the other.. One of them is blind, the other deaf while the last one doesn't have a leg.. The blind dude is getting married the next day and this is their last night where they plan to raise hell around town.. They decide to go for a movie and while trying to park in a disabled spot they find that there is a car parked out there which does not have a sticker.. They block that vehicle, call in for a tow truck and soon enough a pretty young thing comes in and asks them to move their car.. When they tell her that she has parked in a disabled spot and she seems to be perfectly fine, she retorts that she does have a disability.. but she does not have a sticker to prove it.

She goes on to say that she does not have any taste buds on her tongue.. when one of them says that is no disability .. She replies 'how would it feel if you never found out what food tastes like.. you cannot differentiate between salt and sour.. everything tastes just the same.. nobody ever likes my cooking.. don't you think that's a disability !!'. pretty interesting huh!

A strange morning incident :)

You know what… subah subah as usual I woke up in a daze..thinking why do I have to go to the stupid office again.. Can I work from home? Abhi bathroom ke andar jaa rahe the ki got a call from the main gate.. ‘sir.. koi flowers lekar banda aaya hai’..

Apun ekdum hil gaye.. soche kahaan jaaye.. should I go to the loo or should I pick up the flowers.. Upar se who is sending mom flowers and all.. mom getting flowers..hmmm.. does dad know about it..

maine bola ‘aane do.. Dekhte hain kaun mai-ka-laal mere mom ko flowers de raha hai’.. So the delivery guy started the climb up to my apt.. I wrapped a towel around meself and stood near the door all ready to face him. Bathroom jaana hai jaldi.. I am shuffling from one feet to the other, but guess what.. I am still up for the fight . Can’t hit the dude who is sending flowers to my mom.. but I sure can poke his delivery guy in the eye..

Now the delivery guy is atleast twice my size.. Had expected a pint sized nepali dude but this one was straight from bheema’s clan.. So said a meek hi to him.. He thrusted me the flowers on one hand, a rectangular white box which seemed to have a cake on the other.. He had a card too which I am sure he wanted to staple on my forehead .. But anyways he seemed to take pity on my early morning state and said ‘sign karo’.. So I signed as quickly as I can, wrote all my phone numbers and gave him the slip back..

Phir waapas aakar dekha ki card mein likha hain ‘Happy birthday kaku’ J.. Aur to aur opened the box. Card is for me so the cake box should be in all probability belong to me too.. Khola to dekha ki usme bhi likha hai ‘Happy Birthday Kaku!!!’.. Yippeee!!! Felt all happy.. Free cake and cards on a day which is NOT even my birthday!!. Guess today is one lucky day. Aisa rahega to birthday mein I will get some more goodies..

Anyways flowers were cool (mom calls them kochu flowers) and that cake was awesome too.. Thanks Aaoochoo!!
