Eh? M?
· 
Conversations with friends have led to the realization that we come across way too friendly on the blog. Not that it is an entirely bad thing, mind you. The whole ‘Wheee! Look at me! I’m such a sprightly bunny rabbit! Don’t you want to be my friend?’ image has led to many an offer of gaajar halwa to be sent our way. But one has decided that one wants to be more enigmatic ‘Ahem, don’t you want to get to know me more?’ types. So one went scouting around the blogosphere and quickly gleaned some useful tips from several popular female bloggers on how to increase one’s sex appeal. So, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you —
First — the dragon tattoo on my hip.
(Yes my hip, not a tree trunk. And yes that is fire. No not fishies an underwater dragon is chasing after, but fire. Snort. And yes it is wearing white gloves. A dragon with a fashion sense, of course! And we’re rather proud of the Vulcan ears, yes.)
Second — a mysterious peek-a-boo glimpse. And no, I was not having a bad hair day, thank you very much.
There. All the imagery firmly in place. La-di-da!
Grateful acknowledgements to eM, IdeaSmith, Rimi and Neha. And to Heh Heh for showing us how a lot can be said with just a demented picture.
rotfl! Yeah Yeah! The hair and “the eye” struck a chord alright. I took down the “eye” pic after there were complaints of people being shocked into silence because of the terrible fear it caused!

don’t try to fool us. you don’t look as hot as the second picture in reality. and why did you leave out the red bindi that you always wear??
Monday, March 20, 2006 @ 1:25 AM
hey, i have a convert, i have a convert. lovely artwork, could almost have come up with it myself.
and thanks for all the fishies.
ps: since we know something about that form of high art called minimalistic grayscale touchpad doodling, we wonder: what is the girl looking at? curiosity at the greyness that separates her from the world? *pushes up the pince nez, and peers intently, blowing air in and out of double chin*
Monday, March 20, 2006 @ 1:58 AM
lol. lot of blogs out there just dedicated to that purpose sweetie. can u do us a white paper on how not too appear too (falsely) friendly (with hurting feelings) ;)
Monday, March 20, 2006 @ 3:15 AM
interesting blog
Monday, March 20, 2006 @ 6:09 AM
I was wondering if the dragon was wearing a black (or looking at picture, grey) evening gown, and high-heels to go with those white gloves. But then I rememberedhow inappropriate it would be to stare. So, I am asking you intead.
And one more thing to add to your reportaire (forgive the spelling), a pout.
Monday, March 20, 2006 @ 7:56 AM
You’ve never been more enigmatic
Monday, March 20, 2006 @ 8:03 AM
Hey Meghs,
liked your ‘curls’, damn good and better enough you got a matching face :D
tattoo - mind blowing ( I can still ‘feel’ the heat from the ‘fire’)
somebody get a fire extinguisher…QUICK !!!
you really seem to be a ‘hot’ gal; from head to hip ( he..he..he)
Monday, March 20, 2006 @ 8:12 AM
Your enigmaticness,
Donald duck wouldnt take kindly to this cruel morph of his face over the body of an eel with added mysterious appendages sticking out from places. No siree. You shallmeet his lawyer very soon.
Just the other day he was telling me about the tragedy a minor caused by posting a morph of Mallika’s face onto his (not the minor’s, donald’s) bare body on the web.Sheesh. Internet…I tell you.

[Megha] Just this other day, I was on GTalk with someone that YOU introduced me to last year and we had several theories. And we finally concluded that you were a 250 lb pound hairy guy with facial hair who posessed an always-mistaken-for-a-lady voice.
And after what we “see” here on this blog (before this post), I am not sure whether anyone would answer in the affirmative to that Ahem, don’t you want to get to know me more? question. Our eyes always go wide when we imagine all these perceived characteristics in just one blogger (even with the 17 alter-egos) and we has to reach out for his security blanket to ease the resulting shivers.
Btw, about the always-mistaken-for-a-lady voice, not that anything is wrong with it, given that when one calls customer service numbers, one is always adressed as “maam”, even by the desi hey-look-at-ma-angrez-accent types at Amex who should recognize that the long 16 letter first name is really that of a south indian guy! Bahhhh…
Monday, March 20, 2006 @ 9:57 AM
Megha: What, no pictures of you as a baby? Also, is this it, or we going to get to see more of you (literally) - Midnight’s Children fashion (remember the sheet with the hole in it?)
heh heh: This is why engineers should not try to be art critics. It’s obvious to anyone that the girl is not looking at something - she’s looking away - her eyes raised to the sky in a gesture that is part teenage disdain for her own beauty, and part an expression of yearning for a deeper, more spiritual world. Did you learn nothing from Vermeer?
P.S. How do you guys do this anyway?
Monday, March 20, 2006 @ 10:26 AM
[aNTi] 17 alter-ego’s wonly? Verry ishmall nember!
[Megha] *Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa* (screams in horror, thankoo)….. *takes a look at second tattoo*.. Umm.. *Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*. You shouldn’t steal tattoo’s from others, you know! (Yes, I am searching for my dragon tattoo that was on my muskoolar shoulders)
Monday, March 20, 2006 @ 12:52 PM
Interesting… you have re-awoken (is that even a word!) the Nancy Drew in me - guess I will be on a look out for the hair to see if I can spot the inimitable Megha as I go a for trot by Charles! The tattoo would have been an easier give away, but I guess you are smart enough to put it where you did…! ;-)
Great post, again!
Monday, March 20, 2006 @ 6:44 PM
rotfl megha!!!!!
and phewwwwwwwwwww whaaat a saxy waist u have i say! *hoot *hoot*
“:p
Monday, March 20, 2006 @ 8:28 PM
The “dragon” actually looks quite like the Loch Ness Monster chasing little fishies for dinner!
Monday, March 20, 2006 @ 10:07 PM
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH……I knew it! Someone would ‘misunderstand’….I thought that was exclusively the realm of the men. Okay…*taking deep breaths to calmn down*. That tattoo ain’t on the hip, by the way!
And fantastic post, as always!
Monday, March 20, 2006 @ 11:25 PM
i have a sponge cake (also known as pot belly) just above my hip and i have refrained from clicking it and posting it on my blog because i thought it would be scarier than watching “paap” alone…
and what to say about my oh so beautiful pic… ramsay actually called me up and offered me a role of a chudail and when i landed up there, i wasnt even given make up on the excuse that i am very “NATURAL”… this isnt fair…
i will lodging and boarding a complaint with someone on account of making fun of my sensibilities…
and one more thing… I’LL BE BACK… ASTA LA VISTA BAYBEEEEEE
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 12:48 AM
Megha, dahlin’, how in the world did you get that hair? You simply must tell the raaz behind your reshmi locks…
(Has to stop here since her boss has popped up behind her and wants to know what on earth is that she’s looking at. Explanations will be difficult…)
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 2:28 AM
[neha] Hee hee. I simply couldn’t help it. And I agree, it was rather Trinetra types, from what I remember of it. No no, we don’t mean Mithun Chakraborty in a 1991 movie prancing around with Shilpa Shirodkar type of Trinetra, not to worry. Hope your vacation is going well :)
[Sagnik] No no no, you have it all wrong. The first picture should be the ‘hot’ one. C’mon! It may look like fishies, but it is fire, you know. The second picture is about being cool and mysterious. But, I guess it is soo enigmatic, that the fact that it is so, is itself an enigma. Sigh.
[Heh Heh] Well the way I see it - she’s looking at the piece of grey cardboard in front of her and rolling her eyes wondering how long she has to keep her nose pressed against it. But then again, I slept through Art Appreciation 101, so hey, what do I know.
[Prerona] Appear friendly while hurting feelings? Heh, now that should be interesting! :)
[MvR] Thank you.
[Fleiger] So glad you asked. Yes indeedy it is! I even considered tossing in a string of pearls, but then it started to resemble Lisa from the Simpsons, so I had to put a stop to my creativity. And yes, I’ll remember the pout for next time. Aish is my guru in these matters, you know.
[shoefiend] Ooh, thenkoo thenkoo. Although, I have a feeling that the only way I’ll ever get to be an enigma is if I have a kid and name it ‘Enig’. Ah well. I’ll live, I suppose.
[selvin] Ah finally. Glad the pictures finally had the desired outcome. Thenkewverrymuj.
[Brat] I’ll have my lawyer talk to his lawyer and explain to Donald (Duck not Trump) that he is better off with his head on an evening-gown clad eel rather than on his own bottom which is usually devoid of underpants. Am sure he’ll see the logic in that. And I quite like your choice of title for us. Hopefully, by antonomasia, it will become synonymous with us. Heh.
[Hariprasad] :)
[aNTi] Excuse me. Not 250. I am a lissome 242. I wasn’t on the Subway diet for all these months for nothing, you know. And er, what are all these perceived characteristics of mine that cannot be in one single person? Seriously, please to explain that one to me?
Oh and I think that fine gentleman I introduced you to, deserves to be fed to the lions for a) Sending me Anu Malik songs like ‘Do me a favor, lets play Holi’ b) feeding you these ludicrous theories about my being a gorilla c) Threatening to comment on this blog but never actually commenting. At least not recently. So there.
[Falstaff] Now now, Falsie. We are all well aware of your sentiments regarding babies and the appropriate positioning of their diapers, but the world in general still perceives them to be objects of cuteness. And in this case we were making a conscious effort to step away from that. But still, since you asked - here’s one. Pliss to notice how the hair never really changed.
Good question though! [Heh Heh], how DO you do this anyway?
[Sriram] Hey, there might be a lot of things you could accuse this dragon of being, but unoriginal it is not. So there! Go find yourself your own dragon. This one’s mine! *Gollum-style hiss*
[qs.gemini] Heh heh, that sounds like a fun plan. Me, my hair and my dragon shall be on the lookout for a Nancy Drew lookalike jogging along the Charles :)
[shub] Thenkew thenkew! *blush* :)
[Anon] Aha! How very true! This dragon is turning out to have multiple personalities too, it seems. Much coolness :)
[IdeaSmith] Oh. Uh oh. I thought it was the hip. No matter. It is a dragon, and that’s what counts. Yes, a mathematically inclined dragon. And this whole understanding business is overrated anyway :)
[Rumpy] Well how would you know what is like to watch Paap alone? You always had the sponge cake for company! And c’mon now. Don’t be so harsh on yourself. They gave the whole no-makeup, au naturel spiel to Hemant Birje. Surely you aren’t confusing yourself with him?
[Sue] *blush* Meri khoobsoorat aur ghane baalon ka raaz? *tee hee hee*
Har par har din mehke baal
Dabur Amla Kesh Tel
Kaale ghane aur sundar baal
Dabur Amla Kesh Tel
My apologies to your boss. Oh and thank you for catching the validation errors! Had forgotten to check in a while. The CSS error is one I have to live with since the plugin doesn’t work without it, but I’ve taken care of all the XHTML ones. Thanks much :)
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 3:26 AM
hemant birje… fond memories…
{begin flashback}
the only thing he missed in the song… tarzan… oh my tarzan… aaja mein sikha doon tumhe pyaar kaise ho… (other than kimi katkar) was a dragon for a pet… you’ve just given him that… kudos to you…
{end flashback}
and why on earth were you comparing me to him… dont you want me to survive… a chudail in ramsay’s movie is more credible than an ape in the jungle… hmpf… now i will go to some “purush mukti morcha” complaint about the “man haani” caused to me…
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 4:34 AM
[Rumpy] Uff. See, you made the classic beginner’s mistake. I mention Hemant Birje and you seedha thought of Tarzan. What you did not think of were Veerana (1985) and Tehkhana (1986), both classic Ramsey Brothers movies starring Hemant Birje as the chudail (Um, okay, hero. Same thang.) Now you see why we were saying you were being unfair on yourself, because *you* were likening yourself to Hemant Birje by claiming to have played the chudail. We were just trying to make you see reason. Kya kya samjhaana padta hai.
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 4:56 AM
Now THAT is an interesting tattoo! :) But if you really want the whole “get to know you better” banter thingie, the best thing to do is pop in odd sentences into your posts like, “It’s really hot as I write this, in my underwear, and the hot-pink strap of my thong is practically falling off thanks to the sweat”. Much better than pictures, trust me :)
(Not that I’ve ever DONE anything like that, of course, you understand)
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 5:07 AM
[em] Hmmm.. so posts of the sort aren’t true? Drat.. have to take a lot of blogs off my bloglines. In any case, that’s the last thing she needs, I guess.. Btw, not to nitpick, about hot-pink strap of my thong is practically falling off - Falling off from where?
[Megha] Threatening to comment on this blog but never actually commenting Refer to this to understand my reaction to the said statement. Hmmm Do me a favor lets play Holi? Wow… situation song? Which movie is this? Speaking of songs.. did you hear about the Bappida making the (once) hot babe Jayaprada rap for him? I am seriously getting visions of Missy Elliot here!
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 10:17 AM
Oh man, this is so totally -nudge nudge, wink wink- cool, you know what I’m saying? and Christ, you had to send a mail explaining it? I mean, Meg, have you not read my ‘Bitchfest’ series? (please notice supremely subtle self-promotion in sentence preceding)
But, I see no direct allusion to myself, so I shall sit in a huff till I detect a SPECIFIC insult. So there. (wait…the ‘eye’. Ah, get it now. The eye. Or isn’t it?)
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 1:48 PM
String of pearls, hmm… I missed it (thank god). So I guess Tom Clancy et al haven’t succeeded yet in teaching me the nuances of female party wear.
And, as for pout, here’s a male teacher for you. And I guess your eye (the one we can see, cannot comment on the other one) have also not changed.
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 1:54 PM
[eM] Ooh, lesson duly learnt. Fool that I am, I had only mentioned Shefali Jariwala’s thong till now. Didn’t realize I had to get closer to home for the desired effect. And of course you wouldn’t know anything about these tactics in practice. Yours is entirely theoretical knowledge. Why would I ever even think otherwise?
[aNTi] Well, first of all - I don’t even threaten to comment. I simply don’t comment. So there. Heh heh. Secondly, how can you defend someone who sends nasty Anu Malik songs as a way of wishing Happy Holi? And nopes, did not know about this Bappi rap experiment. Who, where, when, why, how? Tell tell?
And your response to eM - *shakes head in exasperation* This is why there is no hope for you! It doesn’t matter where it is falling off of. It is a hot pink thong. Could we please not focus on the technicalities of it? Uff.
[rimi] No no no. The mail was sent to make sure you *read* it. Can’t have us taking digs at you and then you not see it at all, could we? And yes, we *have* seen the BF series. We love too. And yes, the eye. The enigmatic, I-am-too-cool-to-reveal-any-more-of-me-than-my-eye photo.
[Fleiger] Well, given your conclusions about the grey evening gown, high heels and white gloves, I’ll say you’ve got the elegant female party wear bit figured out. And um, your ‘male teacher’ link, points to me? Er what? And what was that bit about the eye?
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 4:10 PM
[Megha] An analytical questioning mind is a perfect side-kick to intelligence. The intelligence completes the analytical mind and vice versa. The technicalities are important since it helps the imagination. So intelligent as we are, we will not be misled by talk of things falling off, when there is nothing to fall off from. A shoulder strap falls off *THE SHOULDER* while a thong.. well you get the general idea behind the analysis! One, being the perfect gentleman that one is, wouldn’t want to elaborate, but the technical question was meant to help the ladies perfect that ever helpful “rouse the imagination” techinique and ergo, come across as the sensitive and understanding type.
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 4:51 PM
[aNTi] Sensitive and understanding, yeah right. Hey bright spark, if you knew where a thong could fall off of, why were you asking? *raised eyebrow* In any case, for further education in these matters, it might help you to watch some .. um .. contemporary cinema, instead of repeat viewings of Kama Sutra.
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 5:58 PM
[Megha] Haaa.. Somehow, the second after I hit that Submit Comment button the day I commented on gult babes (and Rekha), I knew that someday, my eclectic tastes in cinema will be questioned! From the point of view of my education, I shall proceed to view some contemprory examples of provocative cinema as soon as I can lay my hands on some representative samples. However to clarify further, technically speaking, I can understand “slippage”, but “falling off”? You “slip” down a slope, but you “fall” off a cliff! You see where my concerns stemmed from, with me being a perfectionist and all?
And btw, that black dragon with white gloves is very disturbing. Reminds one of a certain (erstwhile) king of a particular genre of music, particularly if one imagines (against your best wishes, I am sure) that the dragon is chasing after small fish!
Since you started it, I shall close with an explanation once for all. That was the first (and the last) time I watched that sad interpretation of what promised to be a classic! I am sure someone like Ray would have worked wonders with that script. Honestly, I don’t know why Ms. Nair chose the people she chose to play the female leads (No, Rekha was Rekha, no complaints about that!). I would have wanted some more eye candy (no offense!) in a subject like that. Indra Varma, if you noticed, was strangely wooden. Sarita Choudhury looked dry and it seemed to become more about Tara’s attractiveness or the lack there of, than it was about *ahem* her skill(s). So….hush…no more about my taste in movies.!
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 6:42 PM
When I read/saw this post the first time around 40 hours ago, the first thing that came to my mind was -
Tattoo! Droooooooool…
And now, when I finally got some time to write a comment, the top thought on my mind is -
Tattoo! Drooooooooooooooool…
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 7:10 PM
Aaah… wrong link , sorry… the right link is this.
And as for eye, I was talking about your eye not changing a la your hair as shown in your comment to falstaff.
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 7:21 PM
sex appeal. huh. but is sex appealing enough. i wonder.
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 11:10 PM
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one !? What does that mean? And why is your blog so god damn cute. Can’t you make it a lil less perfect!? ?
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 @ 11:16 PM
One question. Is that puddle of water (under assumption) near the baby consequence of faulty Diaper ? Tsk Tsk. Where is ISI these days.
Wednesday, March 22, 2006 @ 7:23 AM
Megha: So, are those tears coming out of your eyes, or are you crying fish? Kind of like baby Jesus.
Loved the proportion of mouth to body in that picture though. Felt just about right. :-).
On eM’s suggestion - think that may be the right way to go, but all this direct talk of thongs, etc. is too banal, besides being somewhat technically inaccurate. I would go with the ‘it’s so hot in this town I keep my panties in the icebox’ line (okay, okay, so you may need to wait till it’s actually summer). Hey, if it works for Marilyn. Now all you have to do is figure out is how to write in slow, throaty type.
Wednesday, March 22, 2006 @ 7:50 AM
And why is Nessie crosseyed? Such blatant misrepresentation is certain grounds for a suit. Especially on such a high publicity website. If you do receive a letter postmarked scotland anytime soon, be afraid, be very afraid….
Wednesday, March 22, 2006 @ 10:29 AM
[aNTi] Your love for Rekha is not being held against you, not to worry. She is entirely worthy of adulation, in my opinion too. I personally found the movie lacking passion and full of wooden acting, with the exception of Naveen Andrews (who by the way, certainly qualifies as eye-candy, although not for you, understandably.)
And yes, we understand your concerns about the technicalities of it all, were even tempted to do *yet another* doodle to illustrate the point, but in the interest of keeping our readership, have decided not to expand further on the matter. But yes, please to accept for the moment that the two phrases are synonymous, and grant us female bloggers the liberty to use them interchangeably. In return, we will try to not hold your lack of education against you.
And hmpfh. The dragon is not soooo ‘Bad’, you vile man. No appreciation for fine art only, I tell you.
[Rajesh] Even with the Loch Ness monster wearing an evening gown and starring in a Michael Jackson video, you still managed a drool? You must *really* like tattoos :)
[Fleiger] Had heard of Sinfest before but never read. Much fun! Thankoo for the link :) And yes, the eye hasn’t changed much. The nose has improved over the years though, don’t you think?
[death] The first question, I’ll leave as an exercise for you and the discerning reader to figure out for yourself. The second question - it means exactly that. That nothing is real, not even reality. Thirdly - No I really can’t. I’ve tried and tried, but it keeps bouncing right back to cuteness. What to do?
[Brat] Tears, dukh ke aansoon and all that, you gutter-brain. How do you think the fish have survived so far? Ufff, the things people will ask.
[Falstaff] Tears. Saline water. Although it would be fun to cry fish and then chase them around for dinner. And er? Excooj me? Whaddya mean proportion of mouth felt just right? Harrumpfh! Are you suggesting that I talk too much? Me? The silent types who speaks only when spoken to?
But I have decided. Based on your suggestion, on certain extra warm days, I shall have a strategically placed icebox image embedded somewhere in my post. Understated subtlety and all that yak.
[Anon] Yay! You noticed the squint! I was starting to get sad that nobody caught that. It is in luuurve, so was meant to suggest starry-eyed-ness. (Ooh, starry-eyed-ness in a starry-eyed Ness!)
Wednesday, March 22, 2006 @ 4:06 PM
Since the fine gentleman in question could be me :D, to start of
Let’s play Holi was the most rapchik amazing song sung by our own Anu in Waqt - The Race Against time. Dont know why Madam does not like it, but on Holi day, what better than to croon Let’s play Holi ?? and that too by our own Anu !!
The Jaya Prada rap story has been blogged at http://greatbong.net/2006/03/17/somethings-i-never-thought-would-happen/
[Anti] Bahut amzing IMDB ka link tha, lekin kuch phayda nahi hoga, no comments to come !!
Wednesday, March 22, 2006 @ 5:33 PM
[GHE] Haan.. sahi tho tha.. Btw, the Greatbong was my source too.
[Megha] And its not only me… I see Falstaff asking the same questions as well! Par chalo, aap chamiya log, jo chaahe kaho aur hum usey apne lexicon mein shaamil karenge! :D
Wednesday, March 22, 2006 @ 7:39 PM
If you want comic strips, find some great ones here and here. (all links double checked)
And as for the nose, I had thought you had nose job ;)
Wednesday, March 22, 2006 @ 9:21 PM
Megha - this post is getting hotter (hot pink thong for cryin’ out loud), the dragon on the butt, and Hemant Birje (how do you even think of this stuff) - anyways gotta go, its really hot in here - the 30degrees outside notwithstanding!
Wednesday, March 22, 2006 @ 9:27 PM
aNTi - amazing critique of the dragon - and now I can’t get the image of the white gloves and the small fish out of my mind - very very disturbing image…! This blog keeps getting more interesting!
Wednesday, March 22, 2006 @ 9:30 PM
Nessie must be only half in love — if it were really in love, it would be blind! However, given that Nessie is one of a kind, your argument sounds “fishy”…
Wednesday, March 22, 2006 @ 9:48 PM
[qs.gemini] Ummm..While we shall accept your encomiums with glee, our analytical impulses forces us to indicate the following to you and in doing so, we mean no offense. While there seems to be a factual error in your last statement, noble as we are, we cannot do anything that will make your error, the butt of all attention.
[Megha] Uhhh..ohhh…
Wednesday, March 22, 2006 @ 10:01 PM
Ahem.
Your Arcane-ship,
O The-One-With-The-Veiled-Face that drowned a thousand ships because the captains were so dumbstruck (by your dark beauty ofcourse) they didnt see the icebergs,
O Great-Hipped one (the Great Hippy?)…Salutations from your humble commentspacer.
I beg thee not to eulogise me too much…”gutter brain” geeeez…anyone might think you want favors from me.
By the way, Hark My Lady… (no no…stop saying woof and “bow bow”…thats bark…I mean hark…Shakespearing is a virtue)…your cuutie cuddlywuddly ichookli poochukli baby with its Pampers on is lyingeth a bit too closeth to the life giving Dukh Ke Ansoo for the pheeshes. Remember…”Pampers sab sokh leta hai”
Thursday, March 23, 2006 @ 1:45 AM
Hey, you look so different from what I imagined. I expected ur hair to be curly!
And it seems like you were not very cute as a child, at least not while crying.
Did you get the tattoo done by a professional? Bcos i think u got a raw deal. The dragon looks like a dog (unless u wanted that!) :)
Thursday, March 23, 2006 @ 4:19 AM
Hmmm. (ignoring obv shortcuts like patli kamar tirchi nazar mast figger hai vissil)
Will go the aNTi way and sing “aapke kamr e mein koi rehta hai ?”…
Also @ partial view … in interests of World peace, “parde mein rehne do, parda na uththao”
And that was a dragon ? mmm.. strategic location tho…
exit singin comma comma comma Kama Chameleon …
Thursday, March 23, 2006 @ 8:59 AM
Always the last to join the fray. Incidentally, I’ve been hearing (read ‘reading’) a lot about tattoos, and coming across rather many mysterious-glimpse photographs, of late… A sudden influenza across the blogosphere, eh? In fact, just two days ago, I had myself photographed the tattoo on my arm (not such a hip location, admittedly), albeit for entirely different purposes. However, now that I’ve read this, and been inflicted with the virus myself, I won’t be suprised to find a similar post on my blog, a few days later (it isn’t me, it’s my alter-ego that copies you, honest). The mystery photo bit, I’m not too sure about, since I’m photophobic. Perhaps a pencil sketch would be better. Any brilliant artists willing to give it a shot?
Thursday, March 23, 2006 @ 11:50 AM
(megha)good lord….woman….why do you do this to me everytime?someday i’ll break my head when i fall off my chair loffing yettanudder time, and then i shall sue karoo che..
me wonders about the genesis of this elusive “hot pink thong” …. very interesting, me tells you…very..
Thursday, March 23, 2006 @ 1:14 PM
Very nice.. I am sure you must be getting flooded with fanmails after doing so much to enhance your sex appeal.. Care to share how you are handling the post-fame adulation? keep it going…
Friday, March 24, 2006 @ 4:56 AM
[?! a.k.a D.M] What do you mean the “aNTi way”? Please translate that hindi for us. We don’t know obscure hindi songs. However, on the subject of obscure Tam songs, we rock.. really we do!
[Megha] In the best interests of people like me, you should not let ppl, particularly other chamiya type people break their heads. Pliss to abstain from such posts henceforth!
Friday, March 24, 2006 @ 1:38 PM
[Hokie] Well, that is precisely the point. Anu Malik. In his own voice. Mouthing words like ‘Do me a favor, lets play holi’ in a metallic robotic supercomputer voice. Oh madam liked very much. Madam also now knows how to identify you on the street now, since your mugshot is out on the web. So be afraid, be very afraid.
Thenkoo for raapchik rap link. Have already started to share the good news with the world.
[aNTi] I didn’t say your question was technically inaccurate, that you had to point out Falsie stating the same. I was simply telling you stop dwelling on the technicalities and focus on the essence. But with you, that is a pointless exercise, I realize. Nice to see such willingness to adjust for the sake of chamiya log though. Your future is looking bright :)
[Fleiger] Had read both your comic strips posts before, but thank you for the (verified) links again :) On a sidenote, I think you mentioned something about not knowing if Calvin and Hobbes is available to read online, in one of your comments? Here you go!
[qs.gemini] Yep, all that’s remaining is to put the thong ON the dragon, but that might scare the readers away a bit too much. But wait, did you just use the word ‘hot’ and Hemant Birje in the same sentence? Nooooo!
[Anon] If love makes you blind, then unrequited love makes you cross-eyed. So there.
[aNTi] Yes yes, we noticed. But we are choosing not to correct her :)
[Brat] Ah! Pampers sab sukh leta hai, hence dukh ke aansoo. Much brilliant! Thankoo for explaining that one. I am still partial to ‘your enigmaticness’, by the way.
[Raj] Um, you call that straight hair? :) And, kya non-cute kids insaan nahin hote?
I drew the tattoo myself. Wouldn’t have wanted to have it look any other way :)
[?!] Why [aNTi] way? And what song relevance? (Although RD song, so we won’t complain.)
[witnwisdumb] Not very sudden, I must admit. Some of them have been around for more than a year now. I just decided to seek inspiration only now, hence the post. And I need to have a word or two with your alter-ego, am thinking?
[twinkletoes] Am happy it works every time :) And for more details on the hot pink thong, I highly recommend you talk to your resident Pinkoo aka [aNTi]. He seems to be the technical expert on the matter anyway. Plus you guys haven’t batted eyelashes at each other in a while, and this seems like a good ice-breaker. *angelic smile*
[Mahesh] Well, er, um .. lets just say that the experiment didn’t exactly have the desired outcome. Heh heh.
[aNTi] Wait! Obscure? Hello? That is a song from Yaadon Ki Baarat (1973), thank you very much! With music by the loRD. Ain’t nothing obscure about it. Tsk tsk. Although the significance of the song is still a mystery, so we shall wait for [?!] to clarify.
And what is this? You want certain chamiyas to only break their heads when swooning over *you*, not at my posts, is it? Such blatant discrimination. Tchah.

[aNTi] & [?!] Argh. I just got it now! Aapke ke kamr e mein koi rehta hai - Someone lives on your waist! Groan. The ‘[aNTi] way’ must be an allusion to lyrics mutilation, perhaps. Heh heh. Nice!
Friday, March 24, 2006 @ 6:39 PM
The second song, of course, being unlamented partner of Ms Bhosle, the Boy who ate too much pudding n pie singing Karma Chameleon :) Only , as usual, we bent it our way :)
Friday, March 24, 2006 @ 9:04 PM
[?!] Yes yes, we got that. We are reasonably well versed with all things Asha. We were just wondering what the [aNTi] connection was. Hadn’t thought of Georgie Porgie in ages though. Kidhood memories and all. Wonder what the rhyme was about, now that I think about it?
Friday, March 24, 2006 @ 9:56 PM
Megha, as usual, the post and the comments had me lol! I can always visit your blog when I’m down in the dumps(and also when I’m up in the umps, to coin an antonym!)BTW, I’ve tagged you, hope you don’t mind.
Saturday, March 25, 2006 @ 12:05 AM
[Lak] Thank you! Am glad you feel that way about all the nonsense that goes on over here :) As for the tag, not that I mind, but I’ve already done this tag once before, so here’s some instant gratification :) - Tags, memes and a weird kid.

Oh yeah! I’m a bunny rabbit,
‘Ve made ‘looking good’ my habit.
Even if it means I’ve an image
That ain’t entirely true,
I’m happy living by it
For, at least I’ll have made an impression
I wasn’t born with.
Here, on my blog
Let me, my rebirth, flog.
My hip is not a tree trunk,
It’s merely a branch you can let hang your praise for me!
Care to?
Saturday, March 25, 2006 @ 6:58 AM
Brilliant. :D
Saturday, March 25, 2006 @ 7:50 AM
Oh, oh, yes, i remember, I’ve read it. I guess I’m just confused! Keep posting!

(2) ‘Shear’ poetry @ bad hair day.

[Megha]
Oh yes. Yes. We do. We all do. (And I am speaking for all of us only. Not all of them)
[aNTi]
Oh but we will you know. We will. We are only trying to gather around all the many us to put forward a comprehensive and united face.

[Anil]
Yes indeedy! By golly! You’re a genius!
You figured I wasn’t born with a tail!
Yep, this is nothing but an modus operandi,
For having gaajar halwa delivered by mail.
Oh wait, didn’t we shout that out already?
Hmm, maybe it was lost in the carrot haze?
Probably why the self-deprecation in this post,
Was mistaken to be an invitation for praise.
The rebirth’s pointless when there’s seventeen of us,
So we’ll pass on the Karan Arjun spiel.
Plus the dragon, the duck, the dog and the porpoise,
Do come together nicely for some great sex appeal.
[teleute] Thankee :)
[Lak] No biggie. Just too lazy to do it again :)
[Cherie] Thanks :)
[Ravages] No no, we’re not doing the bunny thing anymore. At least not for the duration of this post. Pliss to be reacting approriately to the hair toss, eyelash flutter, pout and low husky tones instead. Thankoo. (Uff, the things you have to explain to people sometimes.)
Sunday, March 26, 2006 @ 12:48 AM
[Megha] We know that! Like Doh! But we still prefer the bunny rabbit version. But if, by our reacting appropriately to the hair-toss-pout-eye-lash-flutter-toe-curling-husky-tone thingamjig pleases you, we shall gladly oblige. (After all, we the noblesse, have been doing the oblige bit for ages)
Oooh Baby!
:p

*takes CC’s lead and reacts to the “hair toss, eyelash flutter, pout and low husky tones” routine with a routine of his own.
*Hooks thumbs in belt straps of his jeans, tilts head to the right, lifts left eyebrow a wee little bit, smiles mysteriously and says…
Hey.. How you doing?
Sunday, March 26, 2006 @ 10:49 AM
[Megha] Actually, I don’t. But yours is one of a kind!
Sunday, March 26, 2006 @ 2:27 PM
a tangent…you read PGW?
Monday, March 27, 2006 @ 1:23 AM
[Ravages] Ooh it makes us very happy, thankyouverymuch. Although ‘oooh baby’ ? Ouch! *excuses herself so she can go choke* And I see you have finally accepted our calling you blogging royalty?
[aNTi] Groan. Sigh. No no no aNTi, no no no. That line has worked for only one person on the planet, and he was not even real. Your pink polka-dot shirt has a higher chance of success than that. Uff.
[Rajesh] Yesh! It may or may not be a lot of things, but unique it certainly is! Glad to see it being recognized :) Er, I mean the uniqueness of it, not the tattoo itself.
[Brat] Have read, yes. Haven’t devoured and burped out every word written by the man, like some others do though. Why do you ask?
Monday, March 27, 2006 @ 6:44 AM
Jhimmmply :)
