pondy intro

i have to write another post now. people have been complaining that they’re getting nightmares from the sight of a happy pot-bellied, bewhiskered leon staring down at them.

no more of that, i say.

and to distract people from that ugly thought… here’s something on more pleasant lines. paul and i are planning a road-trip to pondicherry. new year, woo-hoo, and all that.anyone else has nothing to do/wants to get away from family or other boring situations, come by here. we have no clue what we’ll be doing there, but my good friend joe pondy assures me that there’ll be nothing to do, there might be some ?dj-party type thing?, and absolutely no scene for half-naked women.

as of now, dilshad is probably on as well. and the car’s big enough to seat four, at least. so here’s an open invitation… anyone wants to join us? to pre-qualify for the trip, you must not be any of the following: whiny; over-talkative; excessively hungry/crappy/pukey; boring; an ugly chick; a hot chick who doesn’t want to make out; leon from the previous post; anything else that may be objectionable.

i guess it’s going to be a fun trip. sign up by mailing me, or commenting here.

the schedule*:

  • 29th dec… leave cochin
  • 30th dec… reach pondy
  • 31st dec… get drunk etc
  • 1st jan… recover
  • 2nd jan… leave pondy

*: published schedule is liable to change without prior notice at the discretion of travellers.

and other hairy stories

if you’re from spa, you might know leon. i saw him last week, and he’s stolen my beard. sidelocks, stock and barrel.

leon moreanal

if you see this man, point and laugh. and run like the wind. okay, so mine’s a lemmy/hetfield/Triple H/security guard rip-off, too. but i think i’ve had it long enough to claim it to be my own.

what’s much more pissing off than this incident is the whole long-hair craze in bollywood. i don’t care if i gain acceptability in society on account of my being a longhair, and that being the done thing. i’d rather not have people come up to me and compare me with “john” or “dhoni” or ask if i started growing my hair because of them. do they think i got extensions when i saw dhoom? and then neglected it long enough to get it matted?

and recently, abhishek bachhan was seen in delhi with a hairband on his head. nice, but that means that’s another thing i can’t do anymore. delhi times, the 8 page holder for my daily crossword, had this front page story on how it’s going to be the next big thing. and the little b has started a new trend. yup. i bet the piece was written by that natasha/nikita/nishita something female… the one who once wrote a story about a “rock dance” at pragati maidan.

but i digress, repeatedly.
