etcetera

The way Vindo plays volleyball is pretty famous.. he will be all over the court, taking others shots, and many times colliding with them and falling over them. Ask him to be at one position, its almost impossible for him...

These days people have so gotten used to it that they make sure that they call "I shall" even if its obvious to others that its their take. And thats what Srilatha did too to an obviously her's take, as she was standing behind and vindo in front in this sundays game- she said "I will take it" as the ball was high up in air, but then to her surprise Vindo goes "No no no no no no no no...
runs back all the way back and takes it just from above Srilatha's hand !!

**************************************

Okay, I don't want to say who this was, but one of the characters of the area was seen apologising to a chair on which he kept falling, after getting a bit drunk .. :-) .

the burning smell !

Evening time... shock comes back home and finds a burning smell in the house.. but can't find the source. Within 5 mins Atul reaches home too and he too gets the smell... he comes to shock and asks "hey whats that burning smell" ?

sock replies that he doesn't know where its coming from. Atul walks around the house, comes back to shock and says "Hey, are you playing games with me.. tell me, where is it coming from ?" .. shock gets a bit sterner "I told you I don't know"

anyways, it was left at that as the smelll slowly subsided. the next day Atul kocks on shock's door and declares "Hey, I zeroed in on the source of the smell. Apparently I had kept a pan on the stove and switched it on, thinking I will heat roti, and then forgot about that and went to campus. After about 2 hrs Vishal found it and switched it off. Don't worry, I will replace the pan" !!!

B T S - 2

Meantime Vindo comes up with another one : Since past promises of "I will write it in better langauge" were not kept up, me shall have the privilege of the "crude" one itself up on the blog, until any better ones come up

Vindo:

most awesome incident of Atul is this... we were going to Beltville few weeks back, Atul was very tired and he literally slept behind car wheel while waiting on red light.... when I woke him up on green light he shouted at me why I had woken him up... then he came to sense and apologized... its classic Atul joke... I will write in better word this weekend...

Atul's Correction

I did not SLEEP OFF...I just "closed my eyes for a while"

Blogger's Comment

Thank God Atul did not say, what he usually says when we try to wake him up after having fallen asleep in front of the TV "Hey, wake me up after 5 mins man" !!!

Behind the scenes-1

For movies that become hit, people wanna watch the behind the scene, right ? So why not for blogs that become hit

Okay, its now known to many that material that is posted here is with some kind of consent from the goofers. Well, given that its usually from pretty much the same folks, it ain't that difficult. So let me reveal some backdoor activity now, which gives some insights on how sometimes (mind you, most times it doesn't take this much discussion, only sometimes) the material thats posted here comes up

For the first time, Wayne send in a contribution. That was sent to Atul for his comments, since its not a direct observation by yours truly. Attached are the Wayne's version (Post A) and Atul's correction (Post B)

Post A
-------

Hey arun,had too much time on my hands and no work at the office, so decided towrite this down. I've wanted to do it for quite a while. Check withvindo and atul before posting this:

One sat evening I happened to be lounging at the house and comeevening, vindo and atul both want to go out for dinner. We are allquite hungry. Vindo wants to have something veggie and Atul says he'sok with non-veg food and some beer. I say anything's ok with me andI'll also have some beer. So we decide to go to Benningan's on route 1near Laurel just for a change, since we've been to Applebee's manytimes. We get there and vindo check's out the menu and says "Heythere's no good veggie food here, only american stuff". We all decidedto go elsewhere maybe roam around and see if there'se somethinginteresting.There was some hesitation going to Chilis but still we go there, takea seat check out the menu .. I decided to order a chicken dish andvindo says he will take the side order of salad. Atul decides to haveanother side-order. The waiter takes our orders and goes. Within 5mins, we start arguing .. vindo says he wants better veggie food, atulsays why dont we go to Hooters next door and get beer and chickenwings. Vindo says he wants to go to Red Robin and even seafood is okwith him, but not to Hooters since he doesnt want chicken. We decideto leave Chilis and just walk out the door with no concern for thepoor waiter. Now we get in my car and Vindo says he will eat at Redrobin, and Atul says he will eat at Hooters. But I decide to drivearound and still see if any other places are open. After drivingaround for 20 mins or so, we come back to the same spot and decide togo to Red Sky and imagine our frustration when we see that Red Sky isclosed! (we thought it was open when we saw lights inside from theroad). Now we get back in the card and I'm enraged and hungry...there's some argument for a good 10 mins ... I lose my temper and Ifinally pull up in front of Burger King ... and since neither atul norvindo want to eat there, I bully them into going back to Bennigans. Sonow here we are at Bennigans after having wasted a good 1 hour drivingback and forth and trying to check out other places.

Post B: proposed editions by Atul
