Dont trust Tom

I have a BIG colleague and dear friend; Tom

He is a 6 foot 2 inches Canadian and a great guy. I have met a few Canadians (courteousy Tom) and so can easily say that most of these buggers are huge, friendly and great outdoors' people.


So today, Tom & I decided to go and spend about 4/5 hours hiking. What Tom didnt tell me was he was getting his rotweiler along. For those who dont know what a rotweiler is; well check this out -> thats her; she comes to my waist, is 38 kgs and as per Tom she is a bit weak. Well I am fine with that...
Oh yeah she has in a fit of rage bitten off another dog's eye, well to be fair that dog (porm breed) was being way too irrtating and snipping at The Beast's legs.
Tom's wife is Japanese and a sweet lady and she has named the dog, which's literal translation is The Beast; so when I met her she sniffed me around and Tom says "oh she likes you, you're safe"; I am like why do you call her The Beast and he's like ah well you will know.


Anyways so we get on with the hike and then horrors of all horrors; Tom lets loose the Beast and the Beast suddenly wants to rekindle the relationshop with me. Now Tom is a big guy and he walks very fast so he is already ahead of me by some 60/70 meters and he is a bit deaf too (was a lead guitarist in a home-town band) and so when hte Beast runs at me I am not only pissing I am screaming (but one of those times when the voice doesnt come out) and trust me see the snap again and you DONT want those fangs coming at you!
But what happened next was brilliant and made me fall in love with the Beast all over ... she came met with smelled me rubbed her nose against my legs and then turned towards Tom looked back at me again and gave a small "woof"; as if to say dont worry I will keep checking up on you and now better start moving you are way behind Tom.
And thats exactly what she did the entire hike; keep coming back to check me up and then running ahead to get to Tom.


Coming back to the hike .. you see Indians are whimps you know; we cant do anything and we complain at every step; and the problem is Tom knows that and he knows how to use that as well. Now I believe you all know what 90 degrees in geometry means; now imagin the start of a hike with a cliff that was at least a 100 meters high and at an angle of 60 degrees
And oh I forgot to add; it was raining so my shoes were skidding and I was slipping and of course drenched.
That 100 meters was FUN; I have never had so much fun in climbing up somehwere but I got cut and bruised so badly so even though the climb was fun the ordeal is not funny.

Anyways; so I get thru hte 100 meters and in a whiny voice tell Tom dude how much more. Now he knows if he tells me this is just the beginning I iwll say fukk off to him; so he lies and I still say fukk off.
All he said was get to the top and you will realise its worth it and I tried to look for the top; hoping that of the 3 hillocks it would be the lowest 1 he was menitoning and though he said yeah sure, I knew we were headed to the highest peak. But trust me when I got there it was brilliant

We just sat there for sometime, my wrists were slashed with thorns etc but just sitting there and seeing nothing but absolute green and the sea and feeling the wind lash out at you was just so worth it. I think the Beast also got in the mood because she gave me a lick; ah well so much for love.


Then we started downhill and Tom didnt tell me, but I realised, that we were lost.
Beacuse until now you could see an arbit building or a vehicle; but now to get from point A to point B you needed and I am not kidding to crawl on your knees to go under spider webs (and I mean under, because Tom says and rightfully so why sestroy nature); well in my case hte spider was too big to mess with .. spread your fingers out; well yeah almost as big.
Then I fell on the rocks, I twisted my ankle, even the beast slipped up. You have seen movies about Africa right where you take a mug shot at people going thru jungles; well thats where exactly I was and it was beginning to get incresaingly tiring as for every step you had to figure out how not to slip and not to flal on the rocks because well they were sharp


But the fun was exactly this; I felt like a kid again; and frankly after the gruelling personal and professional life off late, I needed to end all of this by just going to the extent of killing myself, which I almost did and now my mind is clear.
So at the end of the trail when we did manage to find ourselves in a village (I was shocked ot see an actual village in HK!) I thanked both the Beast & Tom for the great time; we headed out to civilisation which was a walk of another 2 odd kms and had a few beers and ate great food.
I am back now and fuly charged and in the mood for some cyclcing.

Oh I bot a mountian bike which is so cool; and I need to work my stamina on that

Next weekend is mountian biking with Tom and Ken. Thats when it gets bad; Tom you have read of above; Ken is an ex-lifeguard; so built like that still, and I am going to be killed just to keep up with them.


Unitl then; dunno how many of you reached the end.

Lines which make NO sense

A lot of times you come across statements made by both genders which make no sense; this is in dedication to that ... of course my interpretations may not be all bang on; but at least the ladies will get an inkling into what we gather when they say the same!

1. I am confused ... the line most used by the fairer sex; the reaction of guys is simple "what the fukk"; either say yes its on or no its not; why keep it grey; we all know when this line is made the 99% end result is "dude its over"; so what should a guy do; well I go for a long run; get drunk after that and then say "what the fukk again" call her up and ask whats up; but the fairer sex ALWAYS gets her way out; so do what you want; you wont win.
Ladies when men say the above line; get out of there your guy is gay.

2. I need some time ... this also is a very often used line and if prodded upon then the rejoinder to this line is the above one; ie when you ask the lady "why you need time"; she will say, "I dont know yaar ... guess I am a bit confused". Now men, if this line is maaroed and you truly wanna be the girl; HIT IT HOME; matlab make sure she realises how much you love her and do it right then; else face point 1.
Ladies when men say the above line; just give him some quality time with buddies and drink up a bit and he will come back to you.

3. I need space.... now this is used by both genders; I get very confused when I hear this one; am I not cuddling up properly? am I gaining weight? so maybe Obelix can explain this one out.
Ladies when men say the above line; it should be worrisome for you; its our last line of defence.

4. Ahan ahan (with head tilted to the left and 1 eye cocked up) .... Watch out guys; you gonna get rogered; it basically means the woman knows that last thing you ever wanted her to know.
Ladies when men say this; ok this is one secret I wanna keep... hehehehehhe

Alright this is all I can add from my humble experience there are a few more but then the situations when the same were rendered cant be made public.
Disclaimer: Of course this is a sexist blog but I dont want to piss the women folk off so take it as it is light heartedly.

Cheerio and dont drink too hard; I know I cant; got a hike of 8 hours across a river bed.

Sanjay Dutt gets 6 yrs RI

It came as a surprise to me; so much so that during market hours instead of sending out ideas etc to clients; I was sending the above title out
I got mixed responses but none were shocked; as if it was "it was due to him"
But hey come on!

Look at the judgement, it says because you possesses an AK-56 you are required to be in for 6 years; what absolute nonsense!
His links with all the Dubai based gang is a non-starter; everyone in the movie world is somehow or the other linked to some goon; its but obvious; whether they like it or not its something else; read Black Friday and you will know.
I just think that this has been a "watch out! we can do anything" step by the judiciary and the government and SD has got caught in that and made an example of.

What utter bullshit; I mean you are making an eg of someone when hte real criminals is the damn police itself!
The entire Coastal Police across Bombay and Konkan areas knew of the offloading of the kala sabun (RDX) and its final destination (ie Bombay) as well and nothing was bloody done about it.
The villages next to which the final bombers were taught how to use arms and explosives also complained to the police about the same and nothing was done.
IB knew of the date (12th of March) about some dhamaka to happen and yet nothing was uncovered.

This guy served 16 months in RI earlier on; came out and has been a different man totally; or at least he made me feel it; I have not met him (one basic brush happened at Taj in Bombay but that was more like woow types and then he seemed humble unlike SRK who makes you think you've met God). Anyways; he along with Salman Khan and Jackie Shroff are hte only 3 actors (actresses included) who daily feed the kids form the slums in Bandra.

Look at the shooting of all his movies; all the spot boys want to work with him because he is an easy going chilled out charachter; and look some of the roles he has portrayed (it can be said he did them to get that kind of an impression; but hte counter is that for none of those roles was he the first choice! and I am talking right from Vaastav to Mission Kashmir to Munna Bhai). He was the one who helped Saif Ali Khan's wife out when they got divorced in bringing her back to the movies and get her settled; among other things

Anyways I havea strong feeling that by making one big star arrest the case ill die out slowly as the focus will be on SD and not on getting the real culrpits ESPECIALLY the police in.
