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...

Gadha mujduri ...

Today, I complete 4 years of working .. wah! I'm proud of myself ...

Wacker's Interview

Look what I found ...

An excerpt from thoxey's site ...

Ranjoos Wacker has started an advertising agency, with DN of all people, (whose expertise in writing sports columns and making bad magazines will sure come in handy...)

During an interview with our correspondent, Mr. Wacker revealed the following interesting facts...

Correspondent: Congratulations, Mr. Wacker. How is the work coming along? Have you got any advertising assignments yet?

Wacker : Well, no, not yet. However, this may be because we are an event management company...

Correspondent : (Scratching head...) But I thought you said advertising...

Wacker : (Continuing..) Actually we do have a couple of projects in hand, but they are more of a marketing nature...because we are baically a marketing oriented company right now....(???)

Further investigation revealed that these assignments were door to door selling of "Pappu", a new underwear company...

Congrats Salary

I am writing my maiden post on the occassion of a very noble judgement passed by the Mumbai High Court which affects the life of our dear own "Salary" to a great degree.

With this landmark judgement I am sure our dearest friend will be able to continue his escapades and easily achieve his target of visitiing each and every dance bar in Mumbai.

My heartiest congratulations to Salary. I heard one of the organisations which filed the suit was the "dance bar regulars' association headed by a certain Mr. A.S. and I have the inkling that it just may be someone we know.

Congrats Salary...
