Curry & Rice Girl

Few times I checked the magazine ads,
I even tried in the Indian chat
Coz I really want to find the right girl,
I want a curry and rice girl.
I asked my dad and I asked my mom
Put my biodata on Shaadi.com
Coz they want to find the right girl,
They really dont want a white girl ...

Got milk !!

"Dude, where's the milk ?" as I open the refrigerator. Nobody a big milk fan here, but still we gulp down a couple of gallons every week. Still better, we have all kinds of milk to choose from (organic or radioactive, 2% or 200%, homogenous or homosexual), you name it we have it, occupying 50% of the real-estate in our fridge. Another category is "soy milk", dunno why its called soy milk, do they run around the soy and milk'em?

Soy milk is supposed to be yucky-tasting, but thanks to the wonderfully flavoured (vanilla) calcium fortified soy milk, it has outpaced the regular ones in the milk race of my house. My roomie always keeps a couple of cartons as backup, but never cares if the regular milk has been out since the last U.S. elections. Someone recently mentioned that drinking soy milk enlarges breasts in guys, and that is when I turned back to the good ol'fashioned milk. Girls, are you listening, give it a try?

Milk is a balanced diet: something I learned in school when I was so little that I used to write graffiti on restroom walls. If you have had a cast in your arm/leg, you would appreciate the importance of strong bones. I will leave that as an exercise to try boycotting milk for just 2 weeks, and see the effect in your body pain, weakness, sleepiness.

Desi Music - wow !!

Ever hear about Penn Masala. Nope ... that is not the name of an Indian spice factory ... that is the Hindi a cappella music band founded at University of Pennsylvania (that explains the cool name). They made the 'a cappella' (without musical instrument) form of music possible for Hindi tunes, how unique !! You would not believe your ears (or the nervous system) when you would hear their version of "Aap Jaisa Koi...". Check out their website to know more about Penn Masala.

You have to check out this interesting gujju hiphop rap video. The song "Blood Brothers" is done by the band Karmacy in their debut album "The Movement". The gujju in me got totally blew off when I saw this video (gotta praise the concept and the talent too).

Poor Man's doctor

Never-ending nose-blowing/sneezing, droopy-dopey eyes had become a norm this week. Gawd, I was tired. My inate stubornness prevented me to visit the doc or take any drugs. Its just me, who does not believe in western medicine, haah.

Words "symptoms sneezing itchy eyes congestion" I type into Google, and Voila !! The first link that comes up is an article in CNN about Hay Fever. All the symptoms matched, and I would like to take a moment to say that I had successfully diagnosed myself with Hay Fever ... laa laa laa (my happy dance).

Unfortunately, I will be forced to clean my entire house to get rid of allergens/dust/cat-hair. Part of the challenge would be to convince my house-mates to join in this noble act. Its a lot of cleaning, and I am hoping that a really powerful vacuum cleaner would have been invented by now, and commercially available.

The point is ... (how easily you get distracted)...Google helps you to get lot of information on your prevailing condition, and get goody-goody tips on necessary corrective action, how convenient !! That probably saved me a trip or two to the doctor, but I may be terribly wrong. On the flip side, I really needed a medical practitioner's insight, and becoming your own doctor is not only dangerous for the doctor's ability to pay his student loan bills, but it is DANGEROUS (period). It can also cause paranoia, and I can bet that you can easily end up diagnosing yourself with a rare disease only found in certain parts of the jungles of Amazon.

But Why ?

Our blog, but why?

Our mindless discussions have resulted in amazing witticisms, and have been lost in thin air in the past. This should no longer be continued, and all good stuff uttered by lesser mortals like us, should be treasured and shared with the universe.

On this blog, people should expect absolutely random stuff. We must also warn that liberal ideas are encouraged in this house. All the crap that happens in da house, would not longer just stay in da house.

Neo-bloggers like us are also motivated by money, and having succumbed to materialism long back in our conscious life, we have dreamt of million people clicking on ad urls, and making us rich. The mankind is expected to come forward and contribute to this noble motive.

All said and done, we would like to introduce the team of three: Faazil, HP and Jeetal. We look forward to see you here more often.
