“Bugger, my thighs have become nice and hard. I was very thin before. But now my thighs and calves have become nice and strong and hard!”
“Then why don’t you take part in Mr. Bombay body building contest?”
“Shaaaks.”
“Bugger, go, take part, and tell that chic from Delhi and the other from Calcutta to come apply oil on you, bugger!”
“HAHAHAHAHA”
“You’ll win bugger, you’ll win! Then you can get a job in the police or as a railway ticket checker!”
“HAHAHAHAAHHA”
Check out photos from last year:
Attention: this post is a Shaaaks commemorative.
Seamus stuck to his tasks. Of copywriting and theater. October would see Seamus act in a play, originally scripted in the 1950s. Oh, we’re in October. And the play is scheduled for this evening.
“16 hours it takes to make permanent dreadlocks. Now there is no time. So I’ll be getting temporary dreadlocks. With wax. I grew my hair long only because I wanted to get dreadlocks. Now though, there is no time.”
I should make it a habit. I must carry my SLR/DSLR camera everywhere I go. Sunday, last, I was on my way to meet Seamus close to Fight Club. On the way, at a traffic light, I made this photo using the 1.3 megapixel camera that is embedded into my cellular device. For some reason, it didn’t turn out full size. Nevertheless, check these dudes out:
It could have happened three months ago. Maybe four. But I slowed down. Considerably. In that time, I started several other blogs. On different subjects. But going slow.
Whilst at peak, I had 3-4 dedicated readers, and I’d have 3-4 comments waiting for a few hours after every post. But of late, I haven’t had a comment in months. It sucks.
As the charts suggest, hits’ve gone down. Posts too. Comments’ve dried off. Completly. I haven’t done a blog on Aniyan Kutty, Seamus, Ronald etc. in months. Readers loved these posts, about these people, characters inspired by real life people. Semi-fictional essays. Of events. Could I interest you with some of my best posts at http://shaaaks.wordpress.com/best-of/?
Its been ten weeks or so.
Aishwaria left Himanshu. Aishwaria and Himanshu’d been married for a year and five years. I don’t have the full juice.
Seamus is convinced that he has super powers. Signs of his progressively deteriorating mental health due to all the drugs he has been doing since the past half a decade.
Ronald conned his colleagues into thinking that they’d make more money by selling and servicing air conditioners on their own rather than marketing them for a retailer. His company is now registered.
Duncan bakes the odd duck.
Benjaman’s shifted residence. Ross’s rented one.
I’ve been busy. And there’s been the odd party. Every now and then.
And oh! I discovered a new board game. Card +board game. It is called Sequence. It’s brilliant.
I haven’t read a single blog during this time. Gautam did his birthday. He hired a DJ. Drugs were allowed. Marvel did his birthday too. No drugs though. We played games instead. Dimple celebrates her’s tomorrow. And Vidisha and Natalya thereafter.

I remember seeing the announcement, the I <3 thing, on wordpress.com, somewhere. I didn’t bother, at first. I’d think it’d be a design competition, theme designs, themes, for blogs, that’s what the voices in my head’d been telling me. Several weeks later, one Mr. Chirag Chamoli announced, that his design’d been through the priliminary rounds, at infectious.com, and now, elegible for vote. “What’s a blog without the community and comments?”, thought Chirag, the crux of his design.
