This incident is as narrated by Vindo, but our man never had the time to update the blog !! Because of his figure skating, and horse riding and volleyball and biking and hiking and..... what not he is always "bery vusy"
So here's the incident
-------------
So, Atul and Vindo go one nite to DC for some... dance club.. Happens to be the nite before atuls b'day . Atul finally finds a spot to park - a pretty big one at that, While atul was trying to park, another car had come and seeing atul trying to take the spot, left , made one full round searching around, and after about 20 mins and came back to the place where atul had parked his car..
Wait a minute, not yet, 20 mins, and our man is still trying to park . The other fellow rolls down his window and tells "I haven't seen anything funny like this for a while" !!
Anyways, finally our man parks.. thats when Vindo realises that he doesn't have shoes.. which is a must for the dance place.. Atulasimmas first offer "Hey, I will go dance for 1 hr, and then you can take my shoes and dance for the next one hour" ..
But then suddenly atul remembers.. "Hey there must be some shoes in my car trunk". Vindo is hopeful, they open the car trunk, and there are 4 shoes.. Vindo is glad, well there are 2 pairs to choose from.. After all Atul is smarter than I thought, and starts looking for which one's a good pair
Wait a minute - something funny ? All 4 are different types of shoes of the same foot !!
They keep fighting on the road, and meanwhile its 12 past, and Vindo wishes atul Happy B'day !
And there was an even better b'day gift coming along atul's way. A lady who was watching all these fun all this while from a nearby house, comes up and complements atul and vindo "Hey guys, for the last half an hour, I had awesome fun, watching u people " !!

Halooosidi
This one's not about Atul... as u might be knowing by now, once in a while, we sandwich a non-Atul joke over here
Me (shock) goes to Halu's (Kaushik) house to drop Dyan off (around 6 pm) .. Halu just woke up from his evening sleep on the living room couch.. Seeing me, one of the first things he asks is "Hey can u drop me on campus"... "Sure , why not"
Its time to leave, and Halu can't find his house key .It ain't the first time that I have seen him ending up "losing" it, so I patiently wait.. !. he searches for about 3 mins, and finally searches in the gap between the couch cushions.. and there he finds... well , not his key, but his ID card . .

Venting it out
So we move in to the new and wonderful 8309, from 9006 on august 15 2005 - "independence" day from our freaking old landlady... leaving behind a bunch of sweet memories and some endangered species in 9006 !!
Atul now has a big complaint about his room - there is no vent in the room.. hjow can he sleep when its summer and winter ?? He searched in every nook and corner of the room and din't find one..
Ever since until the end of October, our man frequently sleeps and sleeps off on the couch upstairs...sometimes with the TV in full blast .. "Hey no vent raa..." continued
And then it came the day when Vindo decided to drop by an otherwise-in-a-mess-and-nobody-wants-to-peep-in Atul room.. Alas! there is a BIG vent right at the center of the ceiling.. and it was closed ...
Is it true that lions can't look up ? After there's no prey for it up there, right ?

This time, I did stop for red
Atul gives Dyan a ride, .. and as they drive, the signal ahead turns yellow.. The nice guy Atul stops the car by the time its red.. All well and good, only one problem- the car is right below the signal!! meaning in the middle of the intersection - Dyan doesn't know whether to laugh or to cry !
Seeing atul stop there, another car in the next lane comes and stops it near atul's car... but the fellow soon realises the mistake and pulls back.. Finally Dyan takes coourage and tells the Lion King to pull it back, before its too late

Gaaaaass
Atul is picking up Vindo from somewhere... on the way, he runs out of gas.... yeah, the CAR STOPS.. apparently the needle has hit the empty button 3 days before, our man has been too busy to fill gas !!
Calls up shock,gets a ride and gets a coke bottle and empties it to fill gas ... While returning from the gas station with the filled bottle in shocks car, our man asks "Hey whats that smell in the car ?"

Talking of figure skating
Come weekend, and for Vindo its time for variety activities... figure skating, horse riding, biking,volleyball, marathon practice,... so much so that he is ultra busy on weekends
Atul and Vindo are together for figure skating and on saturday early morning (read 10 am), they are supposed to take turns to wake each other up
Once it was Vindo's turn and he conveniently sleeps off... Atul wakes up 30 min after the scheduled class time, goes and bangs on Vindo's room and says "what man, u didn't wake me up.. we are late"
Vindo gets up, looks at his watch and says "Thanks man, just in time for my horse riding class"

woodlands
Atul, shock and Vindo go to woodlands..
Atul tells the waiter "Table for 2 people please " !!!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------
Shock orders butter masala dosa, Atul goes for channa batura. And then comes atul's favorite question "hey do u wanna share half half ?" ...
As shock agrees, atulasimma laments "Man, had we made the deal before I would asked them to put butter on only one half of the dosa.." !!

Clothhhhhhhhhhhhhs
There used to be a zamaana when all that King Atul need to do was to put his clothes in the washer on Friday.. He never takes them out... for hours, days.. Junta would put it in dryer, and once done, take it out and keep it on the those-days-neat bed downstairs.. And the Royal one that he is, would not have the enthu to take them back to his room, but would rather pick one set at a time from downstairs living room, until it gets exhausted
But the same cycle too many times, and his Prajas have started feeling exhausted. Now-a-days, the clothes come right out of the washer into a rather dirty (am skipping the "dirty-of-what?" part) bed downstairs, cos thats the only place left after Utsavs moving in an already humengous Sohil's stuff downstairs. So now this is the typical cycle these days
Fri evening : Atuls clothes go into washer
Sat morning : Shock pulls them out and puts it on the dirty bed, finishes his washing and drying
Sat evening: Atul puts it again into the washer, after showing everyone in the house that his clothes were on dirty bed
Sun morning : Vindo pulls them out and puts it on the bed, finisihes his clothes washing and drying
Sun nite: Once more simma puts them into the washer, and once more shows everyone in the house that his clothes were on the dirty bed. He mentions the entire sequence of events to his parents in India on the phone as well !!
Monday evening : Harish pulls out Atuls clothes from the washer and puts his
Monday late nite, around 3 am : Atul comes down, Utsav is sleeping there, and Atul starts searching for his clothes, among Utsavs clothes . Poor Utsav wakes up clarifies to atul that its his clothes.. Atulasimma goes "Oh Sorry,but where are my clothes ? I have a meeting at 9 am on Tuesday !!"
-----------------
The cycle repeats every weekend !!!!

kal raat bahut maza aaya.... so I came home at 4am on bike, Atul was in living room reading something. As I put key in lock Atul was so scared after hearing noise that he threw whatever he was reading and cried a really scary yell and rushed to his room and closed himself from inside. As I came in Atul came out first by peeping his head out. I cudn't stop laughing till I fell asleep....
