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.

Stove : Day two (50th post)
The next day : Atul and the Stove again
This time, shock had just finished boiling some water on the right heater and switched it off for cooling. Atul puts his stuff on the left heater and makes sure he doesn't forget to switch it on.. All's good, just that he switched on the right heater. After a while the water started boiling again, instead of Atul's roti being heated and Atul goes "Who put water on this stove"
Realising that he has not only made a goof, but have shouted it out for shock to catch him, Atul does a pre-emptive strike "Ha ha ha, I have compensated for switching off your curry yesterday" !!

stoveeee
Imagine this
Our electrive stove has those four heaters.. call them front-left, front-right, back-left and back-right, as it appears to some one facing it.. and each has their seperate switch. This is the sequence in which things happen
Shock puts something to cook on front-right heater and switches on the front-right switch
5 mins later, Atul puts a Thava and a roti on it to heat, on the front-left heater, but switches on nothing
2 mins later, Atul feels the roti, finds that its not at all hot, turns it around and leaves, still, not switching it on
again, 2 mins later our man feels it, figures out its still not hot, this time realises that its not on, gives a classic smile to shock and switches the front-left heater on
4 mins later, Atul is done with his heating the roti, and he switches the heater off--- not just the left one, but the right one as well !! Thank God shock was standing right there watching it , if not his curry would have never been cooked !!

vin-comp
Vindo's laptop has two logins (w/o passwd) . "vin" and "stranger"
Most times shock, atul and whoever else uses Vindo's comp, use the "vin" login and Vindo uses the "stranger" login !!
*****************************************************
Sometimes when shock or atul are using the comp, Vindo would come and politely ask " Hey can I take 5 mins to check mails" ?
So many people use his comp, I guess, and every now and then Vindo cleans up his desktop, and puts all the unknown files into "UFO" folder

Imagine the conversation
S: Hey Vindo, how was your India trip.?
Vindo: It was fun man ......{.......}
K: So, who was sitting next to you ?
Vindo: A girl was sitting on my left and her mom on my right.
A: How come you were in the middle?
Vindo: The girls brother wanted to sit next to Window..
K: Hey wait wait.. you said a girl was sitting on your left and her mom on the right..
Vindo: Yeah, thats right
K: So then what about the brother?
Vindo: The brother was sitting next to window.
A: But the girl and the mom were siting next to you already, right ?
Vindo: Yeah.. they were
S: So where was their brother sitting ?
Vindo: next to window.
A: Arey yaar, how is that ? the girl and the mother were sitting next to you.
Vindo: So let me explain. The guy wanted to sit near window... So I sat in his place.. - between the mother and the girl ..
K: Yeah, but how will the guy the sit next to Vindo ?
The fun went on until someone told "Vindow" what was going on :-)

Hello Halu !
This one's not on atul, but on Halu (find out who Halu is by reading one of the old posts!!)
So, during important days, some of us volunteer at the temple for parking help. The rush will be so much and there aren't enough parking spaces around the temple and so extra parking is arranged in the nearby Greek orthodox church, which is not so crowded on non-sundays
And as volunteers, you need to stop the cars at the entrance of the temple and tell them "Sorry, parking in the temple is full. We have arranged extra parking at the church, so please go there and park"
Halu once volunteered.. After repeating this so many times, the great physicist thought , that the complete information has been spread enuf number of times.. So he decided to, sort of compress it.. why all the unnecessary long sentences
From the next car onwards, he started saying. "Sorry , temple is full, please go to the church" !!

The taste of....
Did you ever want to know how an after shave lotion tastes ? Ask Atul
You see, when for a few matches Sachin or Sehwag don't score much, you know something big's coming .. So naturally when Atul did not give much bloggable stuff ("kutty kutty" things keep happening, but thats old news now) for almost a month, we were curious.. and waiting for the big one
And finally it happened...
One fine morning, the great simma poured a cup full of aftershave lotion into his mouth thinking its mouthwash ... Apparently ,he immediately realised something's wrong and all kinds of chemical formulae (predominantly that of methanol), started roaming around in his head.. And in his own words "Thankfully, I did not swallow it"
Duude, so what do u normally do with mouthwash ?!
