The phone joke -3

This was again in 5816 .. Background: Sometimes our phone used to have an echo ...

One day the phone rang... Atul picks it up

says "hello"

he hears "hello"

Atul asks "Who is this"

He hears "Who is this"

The polite guy that he is , Atul goes " This is Atul here.. who is this"

The phone joke- 2

This was the time when there were two phones at home- call them the top one and the bottom one (both in the living room). And Kudva was staying at 9006

Atul and Shock are sitting in the living room... Atul has to call Kudva who has gone to the Univ.. So Atul picks up the top phone, hunts up Kudvas no: and calls him. In the meantime the bottom phone rings. Atul requests shock to pick it up and shock does

At the same time Atuls phone has been picked up on the other end . Atul goes "Hello, this is atul" and shock hears "Hello, this is atul"

Basically, Atul called Kudva- Kudva's house no:................... meaning the bottom phone

Thank God he did not call the top phone itself and then he would have said "Kudva's no: is engaged"

The phone joke-1

You have to picturise this

Atul gets a call from a friend.. He picks the phone and while saying back Hi, waves his hand in air: full swing :-)

"Some"bar

This is one of the first in the chronological order, and this happened in our old house - 5816

Atul cooks , perhaps for the first time.. Despo has it and tells Atul "Hey your sambar was good".. Atul goes "Thank You, but actually it was meant to be rasam" !

But the, remember Despo was having Atuls cooking for the first time.. It was not too long before that the gang figured out Atuls monthly routine - Rasam, Sambar, Daal in successive weeks (and you get the liberty of calling them what you want),sometimes side dished with boiled vegetables and the fourth week, the special "vegetable pulav"

and the next month, the cycle repeats itself...... religiously !!!

The blessed one

For a change, this is not about Atul !

There was Mr S, staying one month at 9006 in Vindo's room when Vindo was in India ..

You can't see Mr S without a beer bottle in one hand and a cigarrette in the other... One day he even fell sick as he did not have his usual quota of drink

The standard joke in 9006 about such characters was this.. when their parents blessed their son, instead of saying "Jeethe Raho", by mistake they said "Peethe Raho" !!

The Vermisilly

Okay, here is another light one

Vindo decides to make some "kheer" , and asks Atul to get a packet of Vermicelli from the desi store... Atul gets it together with the rest of the DESI stuff he was supposed to get , keeps it safely in the shelf.. Vindo comes back home, finds Atul has done the desi store shopping , but can't find vermicelli.. The first assumption, quite naturally is that Atul forgot..

So Vindo pulls up atulasimha and starts the usual "What man you fogot to get the Vermicelli?"
and in his classic style, Atul goes "Sorry man, I forgot"...

Getting started

Its Feb 5 , 2005

And here comes the latest from Atul.. a simple one compared to his usual ones ....

He loses his wallet ... searched everywhere.... for what half an hour ??

at last finds it... guess where... in his pant pocket

well... that was small, right... but somehow we felt this has come a long way.. and we might start forgetting the older ones... so lets start archiving them

and here goes
