Quarter Life Crisis

Came across this forward... Found it to be pretty relevant so couldn't help posting it here!!!

26-29 is not a nice age for a man... your ex-gfs are getting married, Your career has just started, Elders treat you as unproven theorems, College guys feel that you are too old to have in their group... You seem to enjoy both cartoon and news. You can no longer eat whatever you wish without putting on weight. You look like an ape if you don’t shave daily. You are not invited for weekend cricket matches.

Every Aunty you meet ask “Shaadi kab kar rahe ho beta!!” while uncle asks “Career ka kya socha hai beta…”... When the reality is that you are just riding the wave and going with the flow… You have all the confidence in the world but little achievements to show, You already have the first hand experience of the life, You know that whatever you have been taught about the world in schools has been sheer waste of time. You can be denied a job even after passing the test and you could be given a job if you know someone placed high enough… Politics till now was a dirty word but now you feel it everywhere.

You know now love is not that blind and that friendship has its terms and conditions…You know there is nothing for granted and free lunches are not free… Your overconfidence is now making way for a humble conscience… You now know it is not exactly what you thought it would be…

The Story of Sabun-drella

Today I want to tell you a story. Its the story of Cinderella. Hmmm.. been there done that?? Ok, then tell me.. doesn't the story sound as the very pre-cursor of modern day Soaps. No?? Why not? It has the same elements of any soap!!

1. A sweet young girl with no mother (Now that is definitely Soap material)
2. A cruel stepmother and snobby stepsisters (More Soap)
3. Stepmother and stepsisters used to ill treat poor Cinderella (I'm already slipping)
4. And then a really big occasion - A Ball at the Palace.. and as expected Poor Cinderella left behind to do the dishes(Pure Soap)
5. By stroke of luck and magic Cinderella gets a beautiful dress.. a makeover.. and a spanking new ride to the Ball
6. Like all soaps.. kahani mein twist.. Cinderella has to be home by midnight or her magic will disappear
7. The Prince is charmed by Cinderella.
8. And as expected.. she rushes home at the stroke of midnight.. and like all big stars.. she has her own version of Wardrobe malfunction.. She leaves behind her slipper
9. Like in all soaps, the love birds cannot be together now.. there's got to be more epic-sodes.. so the Prince searches for the lady who will fit into this slipper.. but the slipper is highly customised.. made to order.. Must have been major trauma for the likes of Addidas and Nike... custom shoes for every sole!!!
10. And then enter Cinderella.. fresh out of the kitchen sink .. with soap in her hair and a soapy pan in her hand
11. The Slipper fits Cinderella's foot perfectly... the why on earth did it slip off in the first place??? Scripted Wardrobe Malfunction I would say!!
12. And they lived happily ever after.. now thats not very soapy.. in a Soap it would have taken years for this ending!!!

Now that's 100% Sabun-drella!!

Cold October Rain

It's been a really long time since I "wrote" a post. A lot of my posts in the recent past have been photos with some forwards/lyrics etc etc scattered in between. Seems Hedonist to the core is slowly becoming Photographist to the core!!!!

Un-Digressing from other matters... errr Un-digressing is the opposite of digressing and has nothing to do with Undi-Dressing or for that matter Sunday Dressing both of which may mean one and the same these days!!!!

So as I was saying before I digressed from the point of Un-Digressing, Un-digressing from other matters and coming straight to the Title of the post. I am not going to write a parody of November Rain. Wish I could play guitar like the Slash Solo in that song but what I want to say today is slightly different!!!!

Oopsie daisy... Writers' block.. can't think of anything to say right now.. So I'll just digress to the first paragraph of this post. Talking bout Photographist to the Core... I'm not really a full blown photographer, and I don't even own a photographist device... Its just a itsy bitsy camera lens stuck at the back of my cellphone that answers to the name of Nokia N82. No this is not a sponsored post to praise Nokia phones, cuz the phone being mentioned is discontinued.. cuz it was kicking Nokia's newer camera phones' a$$ (that's what I'd to believe.. you may call it a case of sour grapes) with its 5MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics and a 100% Xenon Flash!!!!

So, this camera phone of mine gives me these results.. and even a couple of HDRs for that matter!!!!

Oh yeah.. I just remembered what I had started off writing this post about. This Sunday it had rained.. and damn.. it was cold.. BRRR!!!!

PS: Damn!! even this post eventually ended up as a photographistic album.. and yeah surplus of exclamation marks that I managed to pick up at the end of season's sale have found their way at the end of each para!!!!

Har ek Boss Zaruri hota hai

Another forward.. Sing it to the tune of the new Airtel theme song

Chai k Liye jaise Toast hota hai,
Waise har ek BOSS zaruri hota hai.

Koi friday evening review par bulaye
Koi saturday ko office bulaye
Ek teri idea ko apna bataye,
Aur Ek tera target har month badhaye

Koi nature se gentle, koi bura hota hai,
Par har ek boss zaruri hota hai.

Ek ghadi ghadi reviewi kare par kabhi kabhi advice de
Ek kabhi kabhi review kare aur ghadi ghadi advice de
Koi Gyan ka ghoomta phirta satellite,
Koi din raat rakhe team ko tight;

Koi welcomed hai, koi forced hota hai
Par har ek boss zaruri hota hai

Koi bossy boss, koi friendly boss
Koi Data crazy excel boss.
Moody boss, koi gloomy boss
Early morning office aane wala Boss,
Koi late night jaane wala Boss
Koi promote na kare aur appraisal me tarsaye
Koi good suggestion ko bhi thukhraye
Koi best friend aur, koi aloof hota hai
Par har ek boss Zaruri hota hai !

Naa nana naa nananana naa nananananananaaa naa nana naaaaaa


Wish someone could sing this.. would be a good laugh

Laziness - A Virtue

It all began like this.

It was there everywhere. On my wallpaper.. on my books.. everywhere..

And then a virtue by the name of Laziness kicked in. Why write/draw so much when just 25% of it looks equally good if not better.

And thus the brand was born.

Its an S with a lambda hanging from it. No its not an A

Thats the history behind my DP

NOW YOU KNOW!!!

Now if only I could think of a name for it. It might give the Nike's and Adidasses of the world a good run for their money.

I Dream of Genie - Reloaded

The regular early morning yell of horror was the sound of DM waking up and suddenly remembering where he was.

It wasn't just that this shabby little house was cold, it wasn't just that it was damp and smelly. It was the fact that he had hardly seen anyone in years. Which was a relief in certain ways, as he hadn't been insulted at all in years.

He stepped out of the cottage and then it happened...

Image courtesy Flickr

He could see 2 headlights of some kind of a vehicle approaching. It was an ancient Ford F-350 straight out of Midtown Madness or was it Madtown Midness... too much effort to remember that. It came to a halt right next to him while he stood there in his usual crisis management pose - standing motionless with mouth wide open and eyes popping out letting it (the crisis or anything else that it may turn out to be) wash over him.

Out she stepped, a tall figure silhouted in the early morning sun, and walked towards him.

"You're a jerk, DM," she said in a cold voice that hit him with the full force of every inch of the 200 or so kilometers that lay between Mumbai and Pune.

"W...W...w...w." That was all DM could utter

She frowned briefly and reapeated, "DM, you're a jerk... A complete Asshole" and walked away to her Ford and was off in a flash, while DM was still in his crisis management pose with a tiny little "musca domestica" contemplating whether to explore that vast oesophagal tract belonging to DM.

This morning was sweet and fragrant as he emerged from the ramshackle cottage which he called home until he could think of a better name for it or find a better ramshackle cottage. The breeze flitted lightly around him, the birds were chirping at each other and the whole of nature was conspiring to be as pleasant as it could. But all these pastoral delights still couldn't console DM after that scathing insult.

"I feel like crying... I will go mad like this!!!" shouted DM.

"Good idea!" came a wheezy voice somewhere behind him.

DM's mind somersaulted thrice then flipped over itself for a fourth time. His jaws did a couple of push-ups. "W..w..w... hu... ru... Who's that?" Wheeling around he saw a ugly green couch sitting right in the middle of the slimy lawn of the ramshackle cottage which he temporarily called home until he could think of a better name for it...

He ran towards the couch. It had been a really long while since he had sat down on something softer than a rock. The couch bobbed away from DM. DM felt terrible pleased with himself. Only 2 minutes ago he had claimed he'd go mad and now he was chasing an ugly green couch across his lawn as it meandered in the lawn as if it was following its own complex mathematical or metaphysical topography, which it was. But it wasn't fast enough. DM was gaining on it. And soon it was within reach. DM leapt on it but it disappeared and he fell into nothingness. Falling down and down and down and down... and a little bit more downwards.

And then he stopped falling. There wasn't a sickening crash or a deafening splash that truncated his fall but a confusing phrrrrrrrrrrr as if it was a hippopotamus belching away to glory after having eaten to his heart's and fart's content.

And uske baad.... LAMBIII KHAMOSHI... for a moment nothing happened and for a minute or two after that nothing continued to happen. And there it lay...

A long forgotten dusty lamp. Right out of Sinbad the sailor or was that Aladin.. anyways nursery rhymes and historical crimes were not DM's forte. He simply walked over to the long forgotten dusty lamp trying to remember whether he had forgotten about it or whether someone had forgotten to tell him that they'd forgotten all about their precious old long forgotten lamp. DM tried to wipe off the dirt off the lamp and it started smoking.

Out popped a genie.



Image courtesy google



Not that "I dream of Jeannie" type babe-genie but a tall dark grizzled erie genie that seems to inhabit this type of ugly long forgotten dusty lamps. It said in a reverberating sound slightly more audible than a faint rasp of a sore throat,

"From the dark dank depths of the dinky lamp,
you have set me free.
And to thank thee,
I grant wishes three!!"

Feeling benevolent, DM said "I WANT WORLD PEACE!!!"

Genie thinks for a moment, "World peace is it??"

"Yes"

"Remove the I (Ego) and the WANT (Greed) and thou shalt have thy world peace. "

DM thinks, "Damn this stupid philosophical genie.. he wasted my one wish" and exclaims aloud, "now my second wish.."

Genie: Arre bhai!! recession ka zamaana hai, ek se hi kaam chala lo. Poof!! Genie goes back to his dark dank wretched depths of the dinky lamp living happily ever after.

And then there was that regular early morning yell of horror - the sound of DM waking up and suddenly remembering where he was. The TV set blaring on some news channel. And DM entangled in his bed-sheets with a copy of Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy - a trilogy in four parts.

Reposting this post which had earlier been published on N-Zine, the No Nonsense eNtertainmen magaZINE

Also do please check out an earlier post by the same name but a different premise

And for those who are still having trouble guessing where is this picked up from... this one's been adapted from Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy - a trilogy in four parts.

Happy Independence Day

The Walk

Just yesterday, I walked home from work. Nothing great bout it.. just a 30 min walk. Nahhhh.. aint gonna blabber about the positives of walking and all... no nonsense about reducing pollution.. reducing cholestrol etc. etc. etc. etc. and a bit more etc. etc.etc.

While walking I saw a rotund, plump etc. etc. jogger doing his rounds while listening to his sounds on his I-Pod or something similar.

Felt like taking his full pic and publishing it here with the TITLE

IPODGE

PS: Joke picked up from Ricky Gervais' (one in the pic) numerous takes on fat people

PS2: nah.. I really did walk home from work that was not the joke..

Oh!! Fish!!

Came across a fish tank (its too small to call an aquarium) It has about 8 to 10 fishes. Fish tanks have always fascinated me. I just love to poke my finger against the glass hoping the fish take notice of my finger and try to follow it. But every time I tried that... No one paid attention. :(

Just then I noticed, there were 2 really really TINY fish.. just hatched.. about a day or so old.. hiding beneath a decorative rock. And their Mommy hanging around them. Chasing other nosy characters away lest they accidently/deliberately swallowed up the young'uns.

Out of habit I ran my finger over the glass.. and ZOOOM.. the Mommy swooped in to chase away another enemy. :)

PS. Wish I could take a pic.. but didnt have the heart to expose the tiny ones to the xenon flash.

PS1. Happy Friendship Day to all!!!

Mouldy

And as promised we are back with Harry Potter and the Kidney stone.. oops.. no no this time its Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. What do I have to say bout it??

Here goes.. from the book itself 

We did it, we bashed them, wee Potter's the One,
And Voldy's gone mouldy, so now let's have fun!

--- Peeves

And all thanks to David Yates.. Voldy did really go mouldy... with all the bits of mould hanging around you in 3D...eewwwwww

Good movie.. Especially the Prince's Tale.. turned out better than I expected. Though could have better. But I don't want to raise the bar so high that I can't reach the bottles. So let the critique be left to the critics and lets get back to our favourite HP photo!!

And For the Love of Harry Potter, do check this out

Ohh and here's something to ponder about

Rings a bell.. lights a bulb etc. etc..  doesn't it??

Cribbin'

Haven't had much to post bout these days... but don't wanna go into cribbin' mode like a lot of ppl around me.. So just postin' this song by the Eagles.

It's called Get Over It

I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin’ ’don’t blame me’
They point their crooked little fingers ar everybody else
Spend all their time feelin’ sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma’s too thin; your daddy’s too fat

Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin’ and cryin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it, get over it

You say you haven’t been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, old Billy was right
Let’s kill all the lawyers, kill ’em tonight
You don’t want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn’t owe you a thing

Get over it
Get over it
If you don’t want to play, then you might as well split
Get over it, get over it

It’s like going to confession every time I hear you speak
You’re makin’ the most of your losin’ streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak

You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin’ everybody down
Complain about the present and blame it on the past
I’d like to find your inner child and kick it’s little ass

Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin’ and moanin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it, get over it

Get over it
Get over it
It’s gotta stop sometime, so why don’t you quit
Get over it, get over it

Dedicated to all the Crib Masters out there!!! Its high time you GET OVER IT!!

Horsing Around

Showing off some Photoshop skills with this one!!!

 At the Kalaghoda Art Fest 2011

While my WebServer silently weeps...

The requested document is utterly inexistent...

No such page here...

Even tried multi...

Nothing helped...

I'm really depressed about this...

Even more so now that Douglas Adams is dead...

You see, I'm just a web server...

Here I am, brain the size of the universe...

trying to serve you a simple web page...

and then it doesn't even exist!!!

Where does that leave me???

I mean, I don't even know you...

How should I know what you wanted from me???

You honestly think I can *guess*...

what someone I don't even *know*...

wants to find here???

*sigh*...

Man, I'm so depressed I could just cry....

And then where would we be, I ask you???

It's not pretty when a web server cries...

And where do you get off telling me what to show anyway???

Just because I'm a web server...

and possibly a manic depressive one at that???

Why does that give you the right to tell me what to do???

Huh???

I'm so depressed...

I think I'll crawl off into the trash can and decompose...

I mean, I'm gonna be obsolete in what, two weeks anyway???

What kind of a life is that???

Two effing weeks...

and then I'll be replaced by a .01 release...

that thinks it's God's gift to web servers...

just because it doesn't have some tiddly little...

security hole with its HTTP POST implementation...

or something...

I'm really sorry to burden you with all this...

I mean, it's not your job to listen to my problems...

and I guess it is my job to go and fetch web pages for you...

But I couldn't get this one...

I'm so sorry...

Believe me!!!

Maybe I could interest you in another page???

There are a lot out there that are pretty neat, they say...

although none of them were put on *my* server, of course...

Figures, huh???

Everything here is just mind-numbingly stupid...

That makes me depressed too, since I have to serve them...

all day and all night long...

Two weeks of information overload...

and then *pffftt*, consigned to the trash...

What kind of a life is that???

Now, please let me sulk alone...

Douglas Adams has died...

I'm so depressed!!!

Just came across this excellent script for 404 error and could not stop myself!!!

Imagine yourself in place of a webserver.. serving pages to visitors!!!!!

Google देवताय नमः

Just got an उपदेश(advice) from someone.. that your site should be like Google.. always error free.. always "UP".. 100% availability blah blah blah
So here's some bad stuff from Google.. nah not my compilation but found it on Google itself :P

But then as I always say... Google Devtay Namah... Google देवताय नमः... One stop solution for all things on Earth.. If it's not on Google.. its not on this planet.. with a 75.367% chance of not being elsewhere as well.

V-Day

Ha ha ha ha... V-Day kab hai.. kab hai V-Day... Nah.. I'm not going to play spoilsport in any Valentine's Day bash. Just wanna emulate Sholay ka Gabbar.. yeah Heart hum ko de de Thakur.. yeah Heart hum ko de de.. ewww

Speaking of "Yeh haath hum ko de de" here are some shocking photos..

Hee haa haa.. Mere haath toh meine chupake rakhe hain

Coming back to Valentine's Day.. Have come across a lot of posts speaking about how much they love/hate Valentine's day or the concept behind it.

All I'd like to say is Celebrate Love this Valentine's Day.. something like this post

And for those who keep whining about not having a girlfriend/boyfriend to celebrate this day with.. Here's a nifty forward

The single man's to do sounds a bit.... ahem.. censored!!! :P

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL!!!!

100!!

Finally after almost 3 years, time has come to celebrate the 100th post on Hedonist to the Core. It was mindless madness back then.. it is mindless madness now.. pretty much nothing has changed.. well almost!!! There have been times when the Hedonist has neglected his private "Piece of Peace" for some or the other activities or individuals.. but after floccinaucinihillipillification of these activities and individuals.. Its time to celebrate!!!

With a hope of bring more Mindless Madness to you for years to come... Its the Hedonist signing off.. Until next time!!

PACHAKK

Just read a pretty silent post from a fellow blogger who didn't wanna say much for the time being... and felt a craving to post a similar post.. but then came a word to my mind... PACHAKKK

PACHAKK - An alliterative word... you can hear it when you drop a squish over-ripe pumpkin on the ground... Mind you I'm not taking a digg at pumpkins or anything or anyone even remotely resembling a pumpkin in any language.. Or may be I am... wink wink!!

Why am I taking a dig - if you think I am - at anyone in this kind of a crappy language CONSTRUCT?? Simple.. cuz the Hedonist was once a part of two super dooper blogs called Crapstation and KickAss... though both of them ended up in Davvy Jones Locker.. in the deep dank murky depths of Blogger!!

Anyways coming back to Pachakk.. some days back I had taken another dig with www.weird.ppl and one of the subjects got kinda pissed off...

"Blogs are not for revenge", said the subject.

"But that's just my opinion" was the Hedonist's reply,"take it or leave it.. after all its my blog.. its my crap.. MINE... ALL MINE.. hee hee hee".

And so there was another Right Click >> BLOCK. But God knows I'm so used to that sequence that I hardly notice it these days. I'll post a nifty trick to detect these "Right Click >> BLOCK" tricks right from your seat without moving your A## but some time later!! So what's this got to do with PACHAKK.. go there and read it.. PACHAKK

Now that you're back from www.weird.ppl, lets get back to pumpkins... just to mollify anyone or anything in any language who took offence at my Pumpkin Pachakk, here's a really tasty pumpkin recipe... called Pumpkin Delite.. naw nothing out of Harry Potter stories this one.. just my own creation.. a really simple do-it-yourself Pumpkin Pastry.. here's how you can do-it-yourself:

Just drop the on the ground.. you'll hear a familiar sound.. guess which one **battering eyes innocently**.. C'mon dont act so stupid.. or may be you think I'm stupid enuff to tell you what sound.. naah.. I wont.. I'm not as stupid as YOU look... you have to figure that yourself!!!

Once you drop the pumpkin on the ground, just scrape off the remains with an all American spatula, mix a dash of honey (Only for the health conscious.. not for the ones who believe in a Fat box of chocolates called LIFE.. they can stick to anything that they want to stick into the pumpkin) Then serve the sweetened pumpkin remains in 3 decorative bowls.. PUMPKIN PASTE - THREEE.. hee hee hee and you were thinking bout pastry.. PACHAKKK!!!

Oh forgot to tell you about the latest antic that this so called subject of www.weird.ppl did.. Imagine you say well done  to your teacher when she gives you a correct when you write 2+2=4.. PACHAKK!!

Epilogue: Now that I've posted this.. I'm going to get one less Valentine... Pssst...thats a big hint about the last PACHAKK I mentioned above!!!

Magic of 3D Television

Imagine... watching Kaka dodging Wayne Rooney and the going on to score a fantabulous goal 3 times in a row right in front of your eyes... Live in JAPAN... in the 2018 world cup

A small catch here..

1. Not sure whether we'd be able to afford going to Japan let alone getting tickets!!
2. Not sure whether Kaka and Rooney lasting that long!!
3. Not sure whether Japan can host 2018 World cup!!

But whoever the player... wherever the match.. imagine watching it live in your drawing room as if it were happening there.. as if you could reach out and do a High Five with the players..

That's the magic of 3D TV

Imagine... watching your dream car.. Turbocharged V8 engine producing more than 600bhp.. going by the name of Ferrari F70. With its monstrously wonderful engine left open to you.. Imagine feeling that you could reach out and caress that shiny red coat of paint.. feeling that you could admire each and every inch of the wonderful berlinetta with your eyes in any angle you please!!

That's the magic of 3D TV

But what about every day TV..

Would you want to watch those shady politicians prancing around with the mouthful of lies...

Would you want to watch the shadier news presenters who are more interested in TRPs than whether people are really interested in their version of truth regarding "Kissa Kursi Ka" or "Kya Alien bhi doodh peete hain"...

Would you want to watch that angry old woman of a Saasu.. or the ever conniving sister in law.. or the bholi bhali new bride or whatever...

Would you? would you?? bolo bolo!!

DEFINITELY NOT... unless you could reach in to the 3D scene and deliver ONE TIGHT SLAP to these guys and make them shut up for good!!

That should be the Magic of 3D TV!!

Hmmm.. reminds me of Johnny Depp in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Apni Bellatrix aunty looking sho cute in the movie!!) where he broadcasts a bar of chocolate into a television where you could reach in and pull out the bar of chocolate.. YUMMY!!

That should be the Magic of 3D TV!!

Epilogue: Had been to a 3D movie.. all decked up with a nice pair of 3D glasses and shoe laces to match.. but someone please tell me how do I fit in this pair of 3D with an existing pair of numbered glasses?? Or does anyone know an optician specialising in 3D numbered glasses..

Magic of 3D??

Newspaper cutting

Found this photo in a leading news daily... its an African athlete taking time off from his training for the Mumbai Marathon.. wonder what he's thinking..
