Things that make me smile when nobody's watching

Listening to Sarthak on Hit 95 fm. "Delhi's freshest Radio Station" He's a funny guy with all the right comments and that pep which you require to keep the listener hooked. Add to that his "vault" with classic rock and pop numbers and he's a must hear!!

Waking up in the morning and still groggy eyed, switching on the monitor to my desktop to find that what i had queued last nite was not enough and bandwith was going to waste. Aah, the sense of joy. Thereafter, quickly putting up the new stuff for download before asking for my chai to be reheated :P

Coming to office and realising that my boss has yet to come. This one really :) Boss, in case you are reading this, heck you know i am smiling when u come into work after arjun!! :)

Getting an email from Kicha... yea yea i know senti crap, i love my brotha etc etc... but the guy can be funny sometimes.

Chatting with Shanbhag.... Shanbhag is the funniest guy i know, period! Chatting with him has me smiling followed soon by uncontrollable laughter and weird stares from colleagues.

Talkin to TD just generally sometimes about Roadies, sometimes about what's happening, sometimes about kicha and sometimes about what time i will get free to go over for a quickfire drink..

Listening to Invaders Must Die by the Prodigy in the car on slightly higher than normal volume! :) Well this involves some bit of smiling and a lot of head banding and air guitar :P

Nailing a riff on my guitar. This one has more impact than most others especially if i am watching my fingers across the fretboard in the mirror. Yea, yea go on think i am a narcissist but the truth is, i do that just to feel amazed at what I have done. I never thought i could be even this decent. I still can't play and sing at the same time but i have done well for myself over the years!

Whenever i think about Karun's "crazy act's" over the past few months. He is a funny guy but not when many ppl are around for some reason. Some highlights, include running after bingo along with tanya in the garden, his refusal to wear socks on the way back from agra by train in peak winter, his dialogue "this is the last time i miss class........ this week" and ....



Whenever i think abt "collateral?? What kind of collateral?" and everything we did while making and presenting "Life, Love & All That" This one's on ya Mr Nair.

Remniscing about Wellington and the good nay great friends i made there and am still in touch with. Heck two of them are getting married later in the year.

HAS Juice, Martins, Burger King, Blue Nile, Bade's and all the other wonderful eating joints i went to on my Pune-Mumbai trip. Of course Prem's is a given too and so is the masala chai.

Playing golf at the unearthly hour of 0445hrs and enjoying it thoroughly. Also getting my first and only eagle and that too on a par 4. That's in the hole in 2 shots when par is 4. Thanks Nikhil Bhaiya for witnessing that and buying me a celebratory HCF after :P

Beating Kicha in most sports as a kid even though he was better but competition always brought the best out of me.

8pm nites with Shyam, Bodo & Mekhu. Thanks for the interesting conversation in those dark times.

Zinc live in concert @ 59PC and anything and everything connected with 59PC. I miss it so much. Thanks Pips, Tina, Arjun, Mekh, Bodo, Madzy, Sunny and of course Mr. Nair

Its seems to be that I smile a lot but well, i dont think about all this stuff all the time. When i began writing this, i thought i will have to save it and complete it later as i probably won't be able to make a substantial list but one thing led to another and well, i thoroughly enjoyed writing and smiling throughout! :)
