Wishes sir!

It is the birthday today of one of the contributors to this blog.. Actions and intentions may not agree, he says.. so we will be assuming that ..

....Sorry, I have forgotten during the course of the day, what is it we should be assuming! But we will never forget, and strive to remember is: Collectively, we are all One, Good will triumph and reign! Evil is just filling its ghadas of paap.. (jars of sin)

Do enjoy the day Mr. Bean!

Call the obituarist plz!

This blog is almost dead owing to a major lack of interest among the members and an even major lack of readers!

It seems it will be revived only upon demand, and that seems highly unlikely, so I might as well begin calling the undertaker and order the coffin.

Cough, sneeze!!!! Pinging Jays is a-coughin...!

The Prateep Series

Here's my very old PP-PJ (Prateep-Pradip PJ) I had made up in 2006. For some reason you've called it complex :)

Prateep returns from a long time onsite at London and his friend Pradip returns from a long time onsite at Frankfurt. They meet in office at Pune and after the initial hellos and oohs and aahs, things come to telephone numbers.
Prateep: Hey what's ur cell no.?
Pradip: 9899344712. What's yours? Have you bought a sim card?
Prateep: 9..9..5..4..4..1..5..6..7..2..
Pradip: Arey don't tell me your landline number! Give me yur cell no.!
Why does Pradip think Prateep is telling him his landline number?
Becoz, his number begins with '9 9' (nein nein) meaning 'no no' in the german language! :-))) So he thinks Prateep doesn't have a sim card.

Here's another one in the series - inspired by my same teammate + cubiclemate Prateep:

Prateep's teamies congratulate him on his TT victory. "Prateep, treat!!!!" they say. He calls them to B12 for the treat and serves everyone tea. He then sits down to drink tea, the others are puzzled.
"Prateep, let's have everything else - the other snacks also right now."
"Everything else? Hey there's only tea" Prateep says.
"Whatttt" quips Guru. "Just tea?"
"Of course - it's a T T treat...!:) "

there was this actress who was fed up with her job.
For security reasons we cant' disclose her name!
So she decided to join a detective agency on fine day.
Her boss - Tingya Teli (known as TT in this part of world) gave her a surveillance assignment.

So there she went in search of a deadly don - mamu khopdi. She soon found him near a restaurant and went in. But mamu was not so mamu after all. He took a shaarp turn and aimed the revolver at the actress.
An assistant of TT saw this - he was on a similar assignment in same hotel. But he could not scream the actress's name as it would give her away....
so the High IQ'd assistant yelled a biscuit's name several times...
The actress looked back .. and the bullet just brushed her 56783th hair....

Q: what was the actress's name and what is the name of the Biscuit??

A: Reema Lagu ....
the asstiant yelled ... "Marie" .. several times....

Amen

Mad, am I?

Amar and Akbar were the best of friends. So good, the whole area knew about them. In fact, they were separated only in flesh and blood. So close were they that when Amar fell down and lost his sanity, Akbar lost his too. They were thus admitted to the Gonsalves Hospital for the Differently Abled! It has been five years that they both have spent here, without much displeasure one would say; as even in their state of mind (or the lack of it) they seemed to enjoy; just that the world now functioned differently! Anyway, it was just yesterday that they were walking by the swimming pool specially constructed for them. And it was by accident, the witnesses say that Akbar fell into the pool. Amar to everyone's surprise followed pretty quickly, swam the depth and rescued his friend.

The hospital authorities were indeed impressed, and a lot more shocked, and thereby declared Amar (who had shown terrific improvement in the recent past) was of a stable mind and that he could be now discharged to resume a normal life. This news hadn't reached Amar yet as he was with his dearest friend; by his side all the time. When the authorities called in Amar to give him the good news he was elated. They told, "You could resume your life". However, with all good things cometh a certain bad thing too. The peons rushed in saying, Akbar hung himself to death in the bathroom! To which, Amar politely replied with a smile... "Oh no! It was me. He fell into the pool and was all drenched. I put him there to dry him..."

ek chutkula...

There was this reasonably young man who had just two strands of hair remaining on his head. It was solely due to this that he thought he never ever could get a girlfriend; forget getting married. However, after a long wait he did get a loved one. The one he had waited all his life; or so he thought. For she, on the mention of marriage left him forever, stranded with no one but the two strands on his head. "If at all", he thought aloud, "if at all we had been married, she would have stayed back at least for the sake. And I wouldn't have had to face this loneliness all alone!"

Thinking so, he was reminded of his hair. Some call it childishness and some insanity; but to him what he decided to do wasn't inane. It was the heart that had gone berserk and not the brains. He decided to get the two strands married off; forever. So, they do not feel alone - ever! But as fate would have it, there was a lot of opposition and the wedding couldn't really happen...

Why?

Jadooooooooo

Scene: One night at 5 Star....

Denizens immersed in a game or cards.

Curly resident enters after a hard day work.

Takes all the cards in his hands and asks smugly..." Kisko Jadoo dekhna hai ?"

All in glee " humein ...humein ... shetty jadoo dikhana "

Shetty ...." Jaake Koi Mil gaya dekho B-| "

Stunned silence followed by ripping laughter. Moustache Man faints. Rest conspire to get back to curly freak when his gaurd is down.

Moral of the story: Always carry a VCD of KOI MIL GAYA on you.

You are now one step closer to being a street magician.

Come one come all!
