Gimme credit…Papa Help!!!

Few days ago I saw this sign hanging over the cashier at a popular hotel [Empire]

“CREDIT shall be given to only those above the age of 80yrs

(Provided they are accompanied by their parents)”

This got me thinking. I remember trying to photograph it but the sign reflected the lights too much so I got a glare but nevertheless – what irony :-) – a PKD type sign!! Imagine what a shock the management would get if the impossible did happen :-) Ghostbusters are on vacation here at the moment-you see, in Bangalore, almost everyone looks dead. If the traffic doesn’t kill em, eating out will (pun intended).

More on this in a bit………

Love……….On a plate

Everyone knows (some of us can’t wait) that I’ll be leaving Bangalore in a few days and I wonder if I’ll be able to get back in between training… these are some of the perks one gets in my family :-) [when you promise to disappear away from them for a while]

My beloved aunt who is leaving on the 4^th called me over for lunch (I was going to pop in anyway) cause she and my Uncle wouldn’t be there to see me off [on second thought – no one is REALLY going to see me off] and she wanted to make some special dishes- Good she did cause I don’t think I can get food this good ANYWHERE else…… This is the BEST ROAST CHICKEN on earth -

Thankyou Attamma and Mamu for lunch and the love..If I could re-live moments from the past I'd eat this (and the other dishes too) everyday lol......

I did miss hearing "Chilly sauce please" though :-)

Movie Marathon Begins

I also have an entire season of "The Simpsons" to go through so wish me luck!!
I don't have a weekend movie pick cause I didn't watch anything :-)

Torrent Basket 3

Plain White Ts - Every Second Counts [2007] -

More easy listening for you –some new age flavor here. Plain White T’s have this fresh sound that has influences from many punk/rock bands. They have a mix of everyone in them but some of their songs like “Hey There Delilah” are so original. It’s been playing on the radio a lot here in Bangalore and I guess everyone relates to it real well and likes it a lot. Their other songs are not half as bad too lol…..quite good really. Do get this when you can, as usual you can always email me for the torrent (comes with a nice video of “Hey There Delilah”)

I was reading about the band and here is some info -

“Born in the suburbs of Chicago, lead singer Tom Higgenson was originally fascinated with the drums, performing in various pop and rock bands in high school. One of these groups was Harvey's Daughter, where he met bass player Ken Fletcher. The group disbanded but another was re-formed, with Higgenson taking over lead duties as songwriter and singer. Friend and drummer Dave Tirio joined and, in the fall of 1997, the pop-punk group was formed. Plain White T’s performed around various Chicago clubs gaining a small but devout following. In the summer of 1999, Higgenson was almost killed in a car accident. The event, which resulted in a ruptured kidney and lacerated lung, gave him a newfound appreciation for life. As a result, the songwriting process grew and the band was being noticed.

The group self-released Come on Over in 2001, then jumped to Fearless for the 2002 LP Stop. Plain White T's struggled with lineup shifts even as they toured heavily in support of the album, but were able to muster up the record All That We Needed, released through Fearless in early 2005. By that point the band's roster had solidified with vocalist Higgenson, Tirio and Tim Lopez on guitar, drummer De'Mar Hamilton, and bassist Mike Retondo. The band next spent time on the 2005 Take Action tour alongside Head Automatica, and more. They finished out the year touring with Spitalfield, joining up with Motion City Soundtrack in 2006. The enhanced EP Hey There Delilah was released that May; it contained various versions of the popular acoustic ballad "Hey There Delilah" (from All That We Needed), along with four new songs and music videos. Most of the following summer was then spent on Warped Tour before Every Second Counts, their hook-laden major-label debut for Hollywood, appeared in early September. The guys then hit the road on the popular Nintendo Fusion Tour alongside Hawthorne Heights, the Sleeping, and more."

Male or FEMALE ....brains?????????????

Is your brain male or female? BBC has the answer in a nifty online quiz that aims to tell you if you think like the typical man or the typical woman.
If you're curious about what your actual gender means for your brain (and diseases), check out this BBC story.

It takes about 25 minutes to complete the test.


It took me a lot more cause I got disconnected once in the middle but from the on it was smooth sailing.

Wanna know my results?? I've saved them like a good boy.....I'll email them to you if you email me YOURS....nothing to worry, I wont sell your results to a tabloid for millions of dollars.

Something interesting to do if you have the time and are interested. Personally I found this really engrossing, the tests are of ALL imaginable types and IF you like taking tests you'll enjoy this. I didn't feel like a retest but you can do one if you want to verify what you get at the end.

Tips - Keep a scale handy (you'll know why later hahaha)

DEATH!!!! (by chocolate) -

Visualise this………………………….

It was my kid brothers birthday on the 25th and like a responsible elder I went and bought him a cake...hoping it kills him (atleast thats what the label promised). Death by chocolate!!!

Got it home just before lunch, he sees it...AH the bait works....the fridge cools it while I await its splended results.. :-) (a sinister laugh fills the air) (errr mine!!)

He cuts it, we all sing and then the defining moment, he lifts a piece, a yummy tasty (killing) piece and - wait..he's feeding mom and dad oh NO!! This is not happening...but wait...nothing happens to them at all (smart baker - has made the cake auto target seeking)...now it’s his turn to take a bite..he does and....and....and......

.....and.......

HMMMMM!!!! NOTHING

Well I can see that the cake was a dud and nothing worked. How rude, what disappointment. I guess I just have to taste it for myself, well here goes - hmm yummy, the chocolate, the cream..

it has a layer of soft icing (chocolate obviously) on top of some delicious chocolate cake with whipped cream sandwiched in between - a deadly formula....well its safe now haha...didn’t work and good it didn’t cause I think I like the little brat a bit (now that he's older)......aaaaaaaaaaa.....guess it’s killing ME oh this isn’t happening why why ME??

(Involve me running to the pot)

All's well that ends well, the damage was minor. I survive to live another day (blog another day as well)
