4 is the set... or is the 5th out???

Been hearing a lot about this set of books... bought the Da Vinci Code about a year back. But last december when I went to mumbai I decided to pick up the rest of the set. Dan Brown afficionado that I am...
Heard from someone that a 5th book is out... anyone know about it???????

Reunion time!

ooooooooh man... wedding receptions, reunions, meeting people after 2 years... man it's been a hectic couple of days.
Goan wedding receptions, they start late evening... get over even later in the nite :) , man that was a fun time. Choche (this guy's nickname) got married and man, was it nice seeing lots and lots of people from high school and college. Had fun meeting up with them. Got home by 0130hrs. The next day we managed to organise a reunion at Panjim. This was more fun, what with some of the guys coming down after 2 years and my my... the guys at Cafe Coffee Day must have been mad at the amount of time we sat there just talking. Imagine that... group of guys meeting up and we just sit there talking about the good ol' times and what's on at present. I've already met one friend who replied with " you guys sat and talked???? dont u people have better things to do??" No idea what that was supposed to convey. And then of course convince one chap leaving to stay overnight and that I would drop him home next morning (read: early morning about 0630hrs). Went out for dinner and a few drinks. Few drinks... yea... then abused half the guys for not keeping in touch for soooooo long. Spent over 30 minutes argueing where the other guys from the class were working and who got married and who got engaged and who were just plain committed. The rest of them? well, single like they always were!!! After that, grabbed the bikes and pushed off to this management college hostel where couple of us were gonna spend the night. I didnt sleep. Half the night I was online ... the remainder.. checking out their song and erotica collection on the networked server. Pretty impressive.. the song collection I mean. Woke the guy I had to drop off at 0600hrs and man! WE FROZE on the way back. Got him home and when I got home, sis needed me to accompany her while she got some herbal dyes for her final year project. Got that... came home and SLEPT. Had lunch at 1440hrs. SLEPT. Had dinner at 2250hrs. Sat online. Slept at 0430hrs.

War games

An audacious plan it was… an audacious plan it remained. The enemy was all over us. They were hitting their mark with increasingly alarming accuracy. We were almost overrun. Cutting into us with ease, they infiltrated our area with no discomfort whatsoever. On the other hand, when we tried to infiltrate their area in a series of counter attacks; we were more often than not, left scattered and too thinly spread out. And when we did find our mark it was usually a one man attempt by either one of our sharpshooters.
It was increasingly frustrating for us as the losses were mounting. Not one to take such losses lightly, we came up with a plan to make up for all our setbacks. If one of the sharpshooters from the opposition camp was to be taken out … the battlefield would be levelled out a bit. And so it was put into action – Operation Knockout as we named it.
Plain and simple it was – draw the enemy out into our area and when one of them went for the shot, we would move in for the kill. And so it was to be… they were moving in totally unaware of the ambush awaiting them. Their top sharpshooter moved in to take the shot and we moved in to take him out. Move in we did, but what was not anticipated was him selling us a dummy. Hit him we did not as he faked moving forward and moved around us, allowing us the unenviable opportunity of taking each other out. Victory was theirs once again. But fear not men! For tomorrow is a brand new day and we will play another game of basketball!!!

New year hangover???

A brand new year... new blog site???
Been contemplating starting one here for a lil while... seems like ever since I started blogging, my personal diary has taken a back seat. Haven't been writing there for quite a while.
Still trying to get my mind off the new year bash. AMAZING time. If it hadn't been for an invitation from a damn close pal I would've ended up at some BORING get-together with loads of uncles and aunties talking to each other. Damn this party I was at ROCKED!!! Baga beach has some pretty cool shacks on the beach, but the one we were at had a FANTABULOUS dance floor. Great music too I might add. I knew just 3 guys from the group I was in. And we were 20 of us. Got to dance in the new year with new friends. Danced so hard, it reminded me how much I missed dancing :) Danced my heart out. I still am actually. Wake up every morning to some dance music and shake my butt about a little bit.. umm... and the rest of my body too.
