Adam's Big Apple!!

Check out this beauty from a friend of mine who just crossed the boundaries of Mumbai for the first time and found himself in NY all of a sudden.

The magnum opus of the Zhankee starts here:

Saalay Gotlee, i-420 blog ka marketing kar raha hoon to paisa kis baat ka maang raha hai .. tum log ka comments may junta kay alawa aur kisi ka comments hai kya ? nahi .. kaisay hoga, kisko maaloom hi nahi i-420 naam ka blog bhee exist karta hai ... phikar mat kar, ab maloom ho jayega ...
Bhai log,
Last weekend Disco tech gaya tha ... Webster Hall (3 floor disc) ... mai to hill gaya, bole to 'mind blow' ho gaya ... Seeing is believing ...
Girlfrnd ko saath nahi lakay jaanay ka udhar, other wise u will miss the chance of dancing with those hot chicks ... apun udhar akela naach raha tha , to ek chick apun kay saath naachnay lagi. After somtime apun uskay saath ragad ragad kay naachnay laga , bole to english may 'Grind' kar raha tha, to wo boli ki " Don't fu** me buddy, my bf is watching" ... bhench** apun wapis hill gaya. Phir usnay bf say intro karaya. After chit-chatting with her bf, I asked him "what does ur gf do?". Bhai log, suna that "ignorace is bliss". For me it turned out to be " Mis-communication is a bliss". Apun jab"What does ur gf do" usko bola, to apun thoda thalli tha, aur American accent try kar raha tha. Usko sunaee diya "Can I dance with ur gf?". Wo bola ofcourse, phir kya tha, Grind aur Grind aur Griiiinnnndddd ...
Girls end up dancing with multiple guys, thats how it goes over here. I ended up dancing with 5 chicks(no bullshit here). First dance was very close encouner as mentioned above.
Apun Indian dance kar raha tha ek phirangee kay saath and she was imitating my moves.End may poochti hai "Are u from Arab. Arabs move a lot while they dance". Wallah! bahoot Khubsoorat hoti wo chick.

On every floor u have poles for female and male stripper(in Tarzan chaddi). Phoolto 6 pack abs. Maray ko Monsieur Whackz ka Single pack yaad aa gaya(Jaadugar Goga ka discovery tha).Male stripper ka bahoot demand dekha.Girls from crown jump on him and get the pleasure.
Gujju, apun ka item London jaarela hai ghoomnay.Usko mai bola apna London mai jigree dost rehnayka. Tera e-mail usko doon kya? Acha item hai.
Nashta-paani kar sakta hai.Khana nahi milega.
Ab tak kay samachar yahee samapt hote hai.
Wait for the next update.
"Jai Maharashtra, Jai NY".

Return of the Phoenix!

Just when everybody thought that the I-420 brigade had made its peace with the ungodly and faded away without so much as a whimper into the enveloping folds of the sands of time, the clique awakens, just as the Phoenix did from the ashes! Shaking of the dusts of lethargy and stirring from the depths of inactivity, the lion roars and announces its arrival yet again to the mortal world of the plebian!

Okay very quick update on everything at I-420 since the last blog happened:

- There is a full bottle of Johnny L - Black courtesy olifactor at home and there is one more of Glenmorangie acquired on the coasts of Singapore by yours truly.

- Jappo can cook and will cook good chicken stuff if given the right kind of motivation.

- Wacker is putting the Bhubaneswar trip next week

- My bullet has decided to give up on me. Hasnt started despite a million kicks.

- Meesh celebrated her 15th birthday weekend before last.

- There is an awesome football cushion at home, courtesy once again of yours truly from Singapore.

- I have run out of more things to write.

The usual mehehe !!!

Gymbie sends a mail to junta suggesting a weekend trip and asks everyone to revert. But as the case is normally with our junta, the whole point of the mail is lost, and there is a mailing spree started by Wacker. Why? Because Gymbie marked a cc to Wacker (Might as well have marked a bcc to him...). Here's a ring side account of the ensuing battle:

SCENE 1
Wacker starts it off... and the rest of the fighting is carried on by Oily, Tummy Man, Salary and Chimpo. It is very similar to politicians ticking off communal riots here. Anyways, read on...

Wacker: am i supposed to reply ?... coz u have put me in the 'cc' list .. so technically the mail wasnt meant for me to reply but just as an 'fyi' to me..

TummyMan: that too she's put you LAST in the cc list ... almost as an afterthought. I wouldn't take that if I were you ....

Chimpo: Since when did you start getting technical?And the fact that she has earmarked masseurs for you implies that she is expecting either you or the masseur to reply; likely to be you in this case as the masseur is not marked on the email unless he or she has been bcc’ed on it. Considering the various parameters for decision making optimized for productive responses to managerial complexities of schedule formulation, yes, I think you should reply. (WTF?!)

Salary: Wacker dost..... you dont get technical man!!!! It is the pimpo's territory"Considering the various parameters for decision making optimized for productive responses to managerial complexities of schedule formulation, yes, I think you should reply. Pimpo, what did the fuckin nurse do to you in the hospi you were born in...... or were you born in a reserach lab.....

Oily (Why Why??): arrey Tummy havent u hrd of " save the best for last"...stop imitating hilaya row for once....ur a disturber of the peace... and i agree with sallu, whom i had the joyful privilege of meeting today morning and share a sleepy bus ride with, pimpo is monopolistically brilliant at his technical skills be it given to him at birth or otherwise inculcated....

Tummy Man: Rummage through the rubble in bold text above and laugh loudly!
Salary:This is hilarious... good catch Tummy. Oily... what say u now?

Oily: nothin...jst that tummy cant ever come up with anything original so he uses wots already available...the "i wldnt take that if i were u" line has been coined by hilaya Row, a common friend, and he decides to over use it....lazy louch that he is... its the easy way out...and thats wot losers do... and btw, salary, form ur mail id say ur a close second to him if u ask me...chut...

TummyMan: i've heard of "Lazy Lout" and "Slouch" - did the usually benign but now ominous vocabulary of Mr Oily Matter just coin a new word - LOUCH? heh heh
Salary:Heyy Auli dude.... shant gadhadhari Bheem !!!!! its just that i found what Tummy wrote very funny....

Chimpo: I notice that Tummy just pipped Wacker to being last on the cc list…. Almost as a precursor to an afterthought. Tummy - Would wacker take it if he were you? Considering you wouldn’t take it if you were him being last on the cc – so you being you, is it still ok to be penultimate? I wouldn’t take that if wacker were you. (huh?)

Wacker: whoa...! i would def mind if i were u !

Salary: Pimpo Bhai... kuch samajh mein nahi aaya... hindi mein samjhao yarr....

Chimpo: Language ka problem nahi hai sallu ... comprehension skills ka thoda fight hai tera ... I am sorry yaar .. (if this was a movie and I were a doctor in that, this would be the poignant scene where I take my glasses off, lower my stethoscope and nod my head painting a lachrymal picture)

TummyMan: if you were playing a doctor in a "movie" taking your stuff off, we all know what sort of movie that would be!!!! Tera Ghagra Meri Choli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SCENE 2
Gymbie is banging her head on the wall in sheer frustration and regretting the instant when she had decided to suggest a weekend plan...

Could be continued...!!
Dedicated to all the Londoners who missed out on the fun...

Going Going Goa!!

All my bags are packed, I am ready to go
I am standing here outside the door...
goes the song by John Denver. And that's exactly what they will be doing exactly 24 hrs later. The Fearsome Foursome of Wacker, Chimpzz, Oily Matter and Kadzz.

The first line is good. But the second line? Yes, they have to wait outside the door, in a long queue... for getting a place in the unreserved compartment! And where are they off to? They are off to Goa! To the Sun, Sand and the Surf! Gujju Bhai, the original Spec Ops partner of the Kadzz, has some special comments on this trip, which he will be more than happy to share.

Till 3 days back, it was the Famous Five who were to go, until the famous lady, Nirax decided to drop the plan in favour of a more adventurous trip to Sariska Wildlife reserve, in the hunt for opportunities to hunt. She decided that after Sallu's fall, it was her moral responsibility towards the law of this country to grab some black buck. In support of her cause, her company decided to host a conference with the wild animals in Sariska, but unfortunately, Nirax could only converse in langoorian. The other animals took offense, complained to the forest guard, and now Nirax is languishing in Gurgaon Dungeon.

Coming back to the home town, we see the foursome readying for their trip. We will wish them luck and wait with waited breath to hear of their exploits in the land of plenty.

NOTE: The Fearsome Foursome have decided that in honour of the Nirax lady, they will observe one whole minute of silence on Baga beach, before hitting the water.

The Fools' Paradise

A Saturday night like never before! I still don’t believe we actually managed to have a party amidst all the deliberately created confusion by (Ch)impzz’s hyperactive grey cells (which could have given the KGB a run for their money) and Oily’s prehistoric grey cells (which forgot to obey Good ol’ Darwin).

At Bloo Bark, Wacker showed me to Oily and (Ch)impzz as if I were a museum artifact. But he was only trying to allay their suspicion. But alas, the two were too influenced by a long session of MTV Bakra.

Anyways, party starts at Hawaiian Outback, and in comes Kappa, dragging himself along after a day of Ahmedabad - Mumbai Central – Churchgate – Lower Parel – Churchgate – Mahim – Bandra (only to be followed by Bandra – Andheri). So I, Wacker, B3, Nirax and Kappa are partying and wondering where the hell were the other guys. Finally they turn up, and after hearing their explanation, we didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry!

Wacker was the start attraction at Hawaiian outback, where a guy (read gay) fell in love with Wacker and his oh-so-long-and-silky tresses. The two gay-some quickly exchanged cell numbers. Please to be noting that Mee suuu was in the Dalhi and Wacker was free to flirt around. But the best he could do was find a GUY..!!!!

After the drunken revelry at the outback, all of us managed to squeeze into one lousy cab, and headed to the Bastion of Fools (read I-420). Still in the mood of partying, Wacker starts making drinks for everyone. Now Jappo joins Kadzz, Kappa, Nirax, B3, Gymbie, Salary, (Ch)impzz, Oily, Kappa in the revelry. Kadzz is sloshed, so is Kappa, B3, and Salary. Meanwhile Salary gets hold of some green undergrowth and starts flying.

All sense of time and noise is lost. Cut to circa 3.30 am , April 2, 2006. Gymbie and B3 leave for their abode. Nirax, feeling unwell is escorted by (Ch)impzz back to her place. Wacker and I decide to put Iron Maiden. It goes… Fear of the Dark, Fear of the dark, I’ve a constant fear that something’s always near! And near it was! Suddenly the bell rings, and before we could say ‘Pandu’ a bunch of 4 light sabre weilding aliens crash the party. They take a round of the house and luckily there are no power puff girls inside. Oily and Salary are rolling around in the bedroom, again luckily hidden by a pillow.

So down the stairs and out the gate we parade behind the aliens, Kadzz (in the local dialect) and Wacker (in the national dialect) trying to negotiate freedom. Out of the gate, we see the mothership of these aliens. Wacker and Kadzz trying harder now to avoid entering the mothership. And then comes Oily walking (strolling) straight into the mothership. All this while, Jappo’s life is flashing in front of his eyes. There was no escape now, and we all reluctantly get into the mothership. The aliens start taking down the names for the sacrifice, only to realize that all of these earthlings are 24 years old, and are ‘Angrezz’. There’s sudden silence in the mothership when one of the lesser aliens quotes Rs 1200 / earthling as the price to freedom. Silence! And in the silence one solitary voice speaks out… “Which Indian City are you From??” (Kappa to Jappo, unknowing all this time that Jappo is actually from Japan, and not from some vague ‘Indian’ city). Wacker and Kadzz, again negotiate, and the price drops to 3000 total. We agree, and the aliens drive us to the ATM as a gesture of the new bond of friendship. Kadzz goes to ATM, and in the mean time, Wacker charms one of those alien beings with his oh-so-long-and-silky tresses and exchanges private numbers (two in one night!!), and the ransom comes down to 2000. Plus a coffee sponsored by the mothership.

Cut to scene I-420. (Ch)impzz comes home to find the place abandoned in a hurry. He finishes whatever is left in the glasses and transmits an sms signal to wacker, who replies ‘aliens’. Still under the influence of a heavy dose of Bakra, (Ch)impzz thinks that Oily has crossed over to the other side, and everyone is now pulling a fast one on him. So he calls Gymbie, who denies any knowledge of the earthlings’ whereabouts. Still skeptical, (Ch)impzz walks to Boing Boing, only to find that the earthlings and aliens have forged a bond of friendship and are happily chatting away over a cup of coffee.

We do a ‘beam me up Scotty’ to reach the bastion, and Kadzz loses all sense of Space and Time. So have to leave the latter part to someone else.

In the end I declare by the power invested in me (by the aliens) that the two fools be renamed permanently on this blog. Chimpzz and Varun the Oily Matter!!!
