to each her own....

....................Midway into a conversation........................

She: ... so, what are you so proud about?

Me: mmm... I guess, am proud of the fact that I am happy! (flashing a smile)

She: (raised eyebrows)... really?!!... oh, so you are satisfied with your life?... contented?... at peace??... (snigger)

Me: .... satisfied, maybe partly.... contented.... hell NO!!!.... at peace... oh sure!!! (some more smile)

She: What do you mean?....

Me: Well, am sure ambitious.... and that is why I am happy....

She: (cutting in).... can’t get you.... come again! (puzzled look on face)

Me:... naah, forget it... you have to learn it your own way.... (wink)

.... and we continue our shoe shopping!!

*touch wood* !!

'Hey'...

'heya... what's your name?'

'Ra.... and you?'....

'i don't know....'

'what ya mean, u don't know?!!... have you lost it?'

'yeah, i lost my name.....'

'no, no... i mean..... wait.... how can you lose your name.... you may forget it.... but no one really loses it !!'

'what is a name, Ra?...'

'yeah... i have lost that.....'

Ra'z 'fur'y....

... after an uncharacteristically rude conversation with a 'am-an-intern-at-an-MNC-so-i-show-attitude' female on the phone...

Dd: Whoa... you are angry !!!

Ra: (still dazed)... huh!!... yea.... you know something.... whats the similarity between these *jerks* and faux fur?!!!

Dd:... Ummn....No?!!

Ra:... no matter how hard they try....they'll still be wannabes!........Idiots!!!

(* not the actual far harsher word used!! :P )

Ra'z baby talk

[Warning: The post is ideal if you happen to understand Konkani]

.... Oar's sardonic take at being labelled as a kid!

Ra: aaji babu kassane karta assa??
Oar: kaay naa... Nappy ghalnu nutta baislaa... aani kassan karche??


(roughly translated...~what is the kid doing, today? ~ nothing, just sitting here, wearing diapers, what else?)

FYI Oar happens to be a 26 year old "kid" !!!

Ra'z cold

in an e-mail exchange with Pi
Ra: am coughing my lungs out !!
Pi: Great!! If that happens you can appear on of those freak shows on tv
Ra: yea... check me out on saturday... and judge, if my appearance is worth any moolah......
will give u share of my profits for sure

On second thought.... too much coughing and lungs out... for just 10 mins on telly (probably flanked by equal desperate people)... not worth it!!

Ra'z death wish !

... and suddenly the talk veered to ...

Dd: what will be your speech on your death bed????
Ra: (Hands raised in air)... Where is my money?!!!!...
... what about u?
Dd: I don't know.. never died u know!
Ra: Yea i do it ALL the time, u see
