Datz rite. Im talkin abt u.

 U dint get it?? Wat? U dont know English or wat?

 How come you dunno u? U means You. Took me 1.5 milliseconds to write dat 3 letter word. Never make me do dat again. K?

 While we r at it, pliss also dont tell me 2 write long letters to u. U know I hate it. 4 a while now, I havnt written, as u wlda guessed. Who has the time dese days??? 

 I dunno why u haf such a problem wid ma fine English. I am jus savin time. 

 Y write 3 letters when u can get away wid 1. If I send 50 Whatsapps in a day, I save approx 55 seconds. 55 seconds. Dats the difference between Usain Bolt and the unknown guy who came second. Dats why I save all dis time.

 Wat do I do wid ma extra time, u ask? Well. Fb. Twitter. Snapchat. A lot of cool stuff. Stuff u dont know about coz u r old now. Yah. Dats rite. Old.

 In ma free time, Ive started translating some of the complicated English u oldies use, into simple formats. Some day ur kids will thank me. The day when u whatsapp dem and dey open a dictionary to understand wat u wrote to dem.

 Dat day is not far. Newayz.

 I gotta go. Already wasted time talkin to u.

 If u wanna learn some of ma cool English, read dis poem below. I translated it for some 10th standard kids last nite. Might help you 2.

 Dis is gonna hurt, jus a li'l bit by Ogden Nash
1 thin' I like les dan mst things is sittin inna dentis chair wid
ma mouth wide open
N dat I'll neva hafta do it again is a hope dat I'm against hope hopin
Coz some tortures r physical n som r mental
But d 1 dats both is dental.
Der's more, but I donno. I don feel like doin it now.

 Have fun yo.

 Cheers u.

    Like should have been lyk, some should have been sum and again should have been agen!!

    I don't get how people can type like that still. How difficult is it to turn on word prediction and select the right word?!

    "MA" or "MAH"
    *shudder*
    Irony is that it's the same amount of letters, or even more as 'my'. I am old.

    Ouch, my eyes. Texting me like is, is a sure shot way of earning an eternity of "i consider you to have the intellect of a worm" attitude from me.

Them 90s Things - 1 - iTV Music Channel

By
Starting a random series of all things from a 90s childhood, just so I have a record of these memories for posterity. Do you remember a channel called iTV?  The 1999 Cricket World Cup was when our extremely middle-class, government quarters colony rose to the challenge of cable tv. Till then, we were happily adjusting our antennas and watching wholesome family entertainment on the two channels of DD1 and DD2. Then came the cable wale bhaiya, with his fancy earring, a few TV guides stacked under his arms along with long ropes of cable, promising unlimited entertainment for the entire colony. And just like that, we all got lured. Cable TV bought with it a lot of changes, many of which I assume will get covered in this series. But, today's post is about 1 particular memory which every 90s kid can relate to. A huge letter I revolving on the TV in anticipation of a new song being chosen. Yep. The iTV generation. Not MTv. It was all about iTV. I still don't know what that channel was...

Letters to the Upparwalla!

(Wow! BlogAdda made my day! :) ) Prologue: I have been SO so SO so lazy, busy and blank, that I stopped writing posts altogether. But then, on reflection, I thought I owed this one to the unseen forces above. Hence, this post! LETTER #1 To The Gods Above, 1, "All Roads Lead to Heaven" Road, Heaven - 000000 15.06.2010 From Un Faithful Earthling Somewhere on Earth - Does the pin code matter?

Drumrolls and All That

By
In crass Hindi, this moment would have been aptly defined as "Laut ke buddhu, ghar ko aaye".  Exact translation would mount to "Fools return home" and that's what this post is. So, after taking a break from work, doing a second Masters, getting a job in Singapore and moving countries, I am back on the blog.  Who would have thunk? An year back, I had no idea this is what I would be doing in an year. But then again, do we know what we will be doing an year from now?  Lesson learnt. No planning, no guessing.  Just keep exploring, keep doing new things, keep learning, keep meeting new people. Things will happen. Trust. Like a fool (who returned home!) So, while I discover this part of my life, Singapore, I thought I need the blog more than the blog needs me. Because moving countries is not in the least as glamorous as it sounds.  There's the whole deal with selling all belongings which you have hoarded lovingly over the years. A...
