Lunch Combo

Contributed by Saurabh Jain
------------------------------

My roommate in CA (lets call him Raju) is a character as well. Since this blog is slowly starting to accomodate funny acts/conversations from people outside 9006, I am taking the liberty to add this conversation I had with Raju.

On a Sunday afternoon, we were dragging ourselves home after having lunch at an Indian Restaurant (a buffet ofcourse), ready to crash for a nice afternoon sleep. I was too busy dreaming how nice i will feel while I am crashing at home when I hear Raju saying:

"The restaurants should have some arrangement so that people can crash after lunch at the restaurant and then they should serve coffee after we wake up. They can call it Lunch Combo (Lunch + Sleep + Coffee)."

Microbio student proposes new theory

Okay, this is about a microbio student in the area, whom many of you might NOT know :-)
Call her P

In a friendly discussion, it came up once that other factors (like generation gap in age and life expectancy) being the same, a birth rate of 2 will keep the population constant. P says "No no, if you have birth rate of two, the population will double"

Her friends tried giving her an example. Assume A and B marry and C and D marry. Assume A and B have E anf F as kids and C and D have G and H. So 4 parents give 4 kids in all. So both generations have 4 people

P was so excited to prove her point that she goes "Yeah, but you see, then E has two kids, and F has two kids and so also G and H, and so that becomes 8 na "

What to do.. too much of bacteria and fungi !!

Suggested cartoon and more

This cartoon was suggested by one of the readers as fitting the Atul types. Good one :-)

By the way, did I ever tell you that many times Atul rents movie DVDs and watches the entire movie in fast fwd (2x or even 8x and 16x). When asked what he is doing, he says "I am watching an abstract of the movie first" !

selfone !

Atul can't find his cellphone one day. Vindo n Atul start off on the Anveshan, and finally finds it... in the washing machine !!

As ATul was sitting gloomy and cleaning it up with paper towels, Vindo comes and says (jokingly) "Hey why do u wanna waste your time using paper towels. Put it in the dryer no?"

small bits

One more on the volleyball front : last week Vindo was asked by his teammates, what is the area that he wants to cover. Vindo waved his hand in circle and said "I will cover this much". To any sane person, that hand gesture covered not only his full court, part of the opposition court as well :-)

***************
relevant protion of a conversation

Atul : ....... from NY to Omaha.. from Omaha to CA

Vindo : Are you flying from Ohama to CA (no thats not my spelling mistake)

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

Atul : Hey shock, are you going to the Indian store tomorrow ?

Shock : yeah, mostly

Atul : Can u buy rice for the house, we ran out of it

Shock : sure

shock's happy that atul has finally done something in terms of taking care of the house. gets two sacks the next day. Only to realise that there were already three sacks of rice that Vindo got the previous week !!

Such is what happens when everyone does opposite of what they are known to be experts at !
