Heh :)

That was the heights (or depths??) of PJs.. :)
I bow before your killer PJ skills.. ROTFL.. :D
Thanks,
Ganga

SHEER brilliance. seriously! we must be related :)
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 6:26 AM
Aha the effects of lunchtime inspiration.
And yet there are no guys who send filaawers on Bhalentines day, bherry bherry curioush to say the least.
And my supervisor has already said that this one will for sure make it to my worst joke of 2008.
The one in 2007 was of course “What is the phenomenon used to describe Jason Bourne working in the lab ?”
P.S : Was lunch good or bad ? And may we bet that you pretty much ended up having it all alone ?

sandeip ne missed comment mara?
I was going thru my son’s X std SSt and found one Abanindranath Tagore (he is credited with painting the first picture of Bharat Mata) and sonny and I decided that A-banindranath was the opposite of Rabindranath!
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 7:47 AM
And here we thought you finally came up with a complete post.
Now since you didn’t do that, here’s a small revenge:
What do you call a paperback copy of Tagore’s poems?
-Rabindranath To-Go
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 9:03 AM
[sandeip] Blank calls, I have seen, but blank comments are a first. Thank you :) And you would throw tomatoes at a Nobel laureate? Tsk tsk. The youth of today, I tell you. No respect-wespect only.
[Paddy] Ayyo. Lord, what have I done. Sigh.
[deitaDi] Abba, why did you have to go remind me? Okay, I have a new challenge for you from today. You have to post at least one comment per post that a) does not have a link to a YouTube video and b) if link to YouTube video exists, cannot be that of a Gult or Tam movie. Deal?
[Ganga] Thankoo. We are flattered :)
[MinCat] Heh, thankoo :) And yes, we do belong to the cat family, so that is entirely possible.
[nightwatchmen] Not yet, we had said, if you remember. And what is this? It is barely March and you are already handing out awards for the best of 2008? You insult us greatly. But Jason Bourne phenomenon? Pliss do tell?
ps .. Hah. We had company. And company was far more appreciative of our sparkling wit than you seem to be. Pah.
[lak] Hee hee! Total missed comment maarings only. And very glad that sonny boy is getting the right training from mommy :) It’s nice to see you here after ages!
[Fleiger] Sigh. You come up with that and then point fingers at me for my post aa? Tsk. And hey, it IS a complete post. Brevity is the soul of wit and all that, remember?
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 11:14 AM
We once called a cheaper version of Jonathan Seagull a ‘Paper Bach’
This one is worse. Much worse than Paper Bach. worshtest pj. We are impressed.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 11:40 AM
[Ravages] Tee hee hee! I like Paper Bach muchly. You outdo yourself everytime. But thankoo. We are flattered at praise.
Paper Bach muchly - also known in some circles as a fishy novel.
*giggle*
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 12:50 PM
Mmmmm. Wohi, who’s lists of lil black books are so infamous. But swings other way… I mean YOUR way.
Sharmila. But did not star in the movie related. Which has her song toooooooooo…oooooh.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 1:27 PM
@ Craigslip. Sigh.
Duniya hai mere peeche, lekin mai tere peeche
and yopu fall for someone belching PJs.
@ Meganut : be afraid, verrry afraid.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 1:32 PM
[Craigslisp] Uh oh. Is that you? Yes, didn’t star in her namesake movie that has my namesake song. Good point. But that movie has another song about a blushing girl called Mary. Remember?
[Shush] Burping PJs, thank you very much. We DON’T belch. Bleh.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 1:39 PM
—> receives kick in hindquarters.
Awwww Meggie, and this when we just wanted to play Holi with ya!
Smears colour into her cheeks. And her hair. And …
awwww. I HATE censorship.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 1:40 PM
@ Meggie : This is a lovers spat and I’ll thank you to keep out of it.
@ Craigslisp : Every rustic rice is OK, but this …. ( har baath gavara hai lekin, yeh baath gavara kaise karen ?)
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 1:43 PM
[Craigs] Holi cow! Now you’ll sing in Anu Malik’s voice - Do meee a faaavor, let’s play Holi!
I might as well die now.
[Shush] We shush.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 1:45 PM
Ooooh@ baath.
That brings to mind that gent I love. ( err.. only cos he is her friend). Methinks he is having a tiff too. (Though seeing his waistline, looks like tiffin all the time, bah). Plus of course, Witless.
errr. Witness, I meant. Must get into good books of her sakhis, only.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 1:46 PM
[Craigie] Oye. Keep your grubby paws off my tiffin. He’s been exceedingly nice to me lately, giving me huge gobs of music and what not. So no smartass digs at him for a while please. We promised. Although methinks it is possible tiffin and witness fell in love over a lunch date of tomato baath. Baathon baathon mein pyaar ho gaya, types.
You get into our good books first. Our sakhis will automatically comply :)
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 1:47 PM
Meggie : though we are of course lattoo and all, please don’t make fun of songs featuring Yank Chops.
( Though of course, she is only pin up girl, my deal dhadaks sirf tere liye. ( sirf tere liye mmmm wail wyanooo, Rahul Roy with that tendril, mmmuah).
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 1:49 PM
Abbey, look what the delusion of being a blogger of note has done to you?
Just like that, you come, preen yourself here and put a one liner. And the next minute about a 100 jobless people fawn over you.
You know. I know a PJ of my own. It goes like this.
I can’t stand this no more. Is there no one that see’s this the way I see it?
*sigh*.
The world has gone to the dogs, I say!
Answer for the above joke - STOP ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 1:50 PM
Sigh.
We’d prefer to compete with cloudbursts and Yank Chops only.
Not with Rahul-wears-more-lipstick-than-his-heroines-Roy, thank you.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 1:54 PM
aNTi : ‘You know. I know a PJ of my own.”
Your very own ? Your very own ? Homigod.
Die, Intelligent Design.
Evolution RULES!
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 1:58 PM
Abbey ? Is that what those in the inner circle call you ?
–> Instantly gets religion.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:03 PM
Craigslisp: Hush!
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:12 PM
Help, the crazies are back again!
First of all, a poem for the loveboreds -
[aNTi PJ activist] A total Brutus you are, putting knife through back and what not. Here I am defending you, telling the crazies not to take shots at your tiffin and your baath, and you come surreptitiously and take nasty digs at me aa?
And news flash - nobody sees it the way you see it. You might as well join them if you can’t beat them. And hello. My blog. I be diva. I preen. I burp lunchtime PJs. They clap. Why it bug you sooo much, I say. Even CC agrees, see?
[Shushie]
The apes knew what they were doing, after all, eh?
[Craigie] Behave!
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:15 PM
“The world has gone to the dogs, I say!”
Na mile sansaar
na mile sansaar unka pyaar toh hamaara hai
–> Meltdown, total.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:18 PM
Bole re puppy hara, as I always say.
*exits singing who let the dogs out .. woof woof woof woof*
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:20 PM
Megha called for us…
Anu Malik and puppy hara can only cometh to one conclusion…
Barsaat aa gaya…
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:24 PM
Which brings to mind my favourite mushaira piece
Tere pyaar ne
(deep breath)
Tere pyaar ne hame kutta banaa diya
(pause)
Tere pyaar ne hame kutta banaa diya
yakeen nahiin toh …
(Challenging look)
Tere pyaar ne hame kutta banaa diya
yakeen nahiin toh bow bow!
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:26 PM
[Barsaat] People connecting Miyaan Ki Malhar to dekho baarish ho rahi hai .. its raining. There must a music God somewhere up there that must be shedding tears. Explains all the rain, at least.
[Craigie] Looks like someone brought out the bhaang one day early this time. Sigh.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:29 PM
Not just bhang.
Was sitting and dreaming about Holi with you and
Rain Is Falling, chamaa cham cham.
( Have a crib, this stellar song has never got its due on your blog.)
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:31 PM
[Craigie] I’ll turn your dream into a Ramsey Brothers movie if bright colors is what you are looking for. Aakhri Cheekh or Shaitaani Ilaaka? Which do you prefer? Dream of Holi with me, it seems. Pah.
And find me a YouTube link and i’ll be happy to gush about song and correct my mistake.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:32 PM
—> Notices one half is conspicuous by her absence. Hopes she hasn’t got the flu or something.
Ohhhhhhhh. Just remembered.
She must have got the LouBug, she’s been bitten by the LouBug.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:33 PM
Why Craigslisp ?
Why not compete with her for the clouds only ?
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:35 PM
[Craigie] Barsaat mei kutte bheegte nahi hai… Ghar wapas nahi laut paaonge…
[Megha] Something called fusion music… I am more concerned about imagining Anu Malik singing Miyaan Ki Malhar… Then it will start pouring
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:40 PM
[Just Wondering] Oye. We are whole and plenty for you. And we told you. No shots at LouBug tiffin boy. Only for one post. After that, all yours.
[Wavering Heights] Compete with me for what?
[Barsaat] I already imagined it, hence the music God crying and all. And now, thanks to your name, I cannot stop singing -
barsaat mein jab aayega saawan ka mahina .. dhinki chiki dhidhin chiki
from that cult Jayaprada classic - Maa (1992) - a song I can never, for the life of me, figure out. How does monsoon appear in the middle of rain anyway? Mystery of life.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:51 PM
@ Megha : Looks shocked at her, suddenly finding that idol has feet of clay.
It is RamSAY!!!! How COULD you ?
(err… looks up from feet, oooh nice legs only)
(Sigh, one rail only on one track mind).
@ Burst Art : errr… not kutte.
Kutte is what makes people in me part of country get out their lathis.
Whereas puppy is term of endearment. Doan be jealous.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:52 PM
[Craigie] If you would slow down in your bombardment of my commentspace, I would have the time to check for my typos, dammit! Now shaddap. AND if you don’t behave RIGHT now about uncensored Holi playing and legs, you will die, I assure you. Those nice legs can kick your ass nine ways to Nairobi and you KNOW it! *stern look*
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:54 PM
–> Is chastened.
Total PC wonly, deal.
Deal kya cheez hai jaanam jaan tere naam karta hai. Arre akhkha India jaanta hai ..
(another gem that you haven’t given due pride of place)
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:57 PM
[Craiglisp] Are you kidding me? It is ONLY my mostest favoritest song from the year 1992 and my favoritest Ronit Roy song, strongly contending with ‘Romance period, love and dance period’ also from the same film. Hell, I have pointed my finger up in the sky and twirled my hips around in one place trying to imitate bandmaster dimple-boy one whole fateful summer even. You cannot question my love for ye akhha India jaanta hai. You just cannot. No no NO!
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 3:02 PM
[Craigie] Should have known that u were a pillAr of support for us… Dude, dont be jealous of ur older bro man..
[Megha] With a title like Maa and Jayapradha and a daddy like Jack who jumps all the time, do we need logic?
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 3:14 PM
–> Takes hope. If she liked Ronit Roy, she’ll like my lipstick too.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 3:29 PM
Burst Art : Sigh. you doan get it. We’re on the other side of the gender fence, i.e that much closer to her.
–> Starts guiltily from daydreaming scenes of sharing lipsticks.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 3:31 PM
[Craigslisp] Now when did you start cross-dressing? Red lipstick and two inch fingernails to match? Fishnet stockings? And you’re coming on to me? Sigh. Now i’ve seen it all.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 3:34 PM
@Craigslisp : arrey, I told you, she’ll never appreciate you. C’mere ohm to us, sob on our shoulder.
@ Megha : Errr… make way, please.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 3:37 PM
[Shushie] Hallelujah! Tootsie is all yours!
[Barsaat] Oye! This blog does not allow a classic like Maa (1992) to be spoken of lightly. It is a kinda-sorta remake of Ghost with the dead boyfriend being replaced by a dead mother. Then it has music by Anu Malik. That too with a recursive song like barsaat mein jab aayega saawan ka mahina, no less. And lastly, any movie that has a villain called Gulu Goli should have its name uttered with respect. So there.
I say kinda-sorta remake of Ghost, cos one would have to find Ghost in Maa, like one finds medicines in a bathroom cabinet in the middle of the night - with a lot of persistence and hard work.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 3:55 PM
yeh kya hO rahaa hai bETaa duryOdhan?!
[Megha] Challenge you say? Challenge? :D
saari.. could not resist.. could not let go the opportunity to mention IR.. and Meghashtaar.
Deal? naakEnTaTa? aha, naakEnTaTa?
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 3:56 PM
Why only a D ?
I thought B had too many curves too.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 4:10 PM
[Craigie] (Broken from trans and imagining him/her singing to Megha) Man mein tu woman mein tu sapnon ki duniya mein tu hi tu….
[Megha] The only movie that comes close to such greatness is Guru Mahaguru.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 4:14 PM
[deitaDi] Two more Youtube videos he posts as some sort of taunt and thinks I won’t be nasty in response? Tsk tsk. What’ll you get out of it aa? You won’t get banned from this commentspace. How’s that for an incentive?
[Bheem Boy Bheem Boy] There is obscure humor and then there is you. *rolls eyes*
[Barsaat] Haven’t seen it, so cannot comment. Post-2000 cheese was just not the same as the 90s anyway. They got too snazzy for their own good. But will add it to my Italkies queue promptly.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 5:51 PM

[megha]
that was a new kind of pj :P
bhery bhery pj
u back on blog at last…so another new kind of comment…a copy paste comment..from ur last post..
“senior..well if u r who i think u r,u are probably my senior..or super super super senior..or ancestor..whatever..i dont know what u call someone who graduated from ur college some 30 years ago…
what…did u say..less that thirty?okay..even 5…i am not very sure..
but the college….were u ever in xl?if yes,u can not escape the charge..if no…well..i am sorry,must be a case of mistaken identities :) and you still (are a) rock..”
Friday, March 21, 2008 @ 7:17 AM
By all things holi, you started it… You connected Mr. Tagore to Mrs. Tiger. I just made it a bit crazier.
And yes, sometimes brew-ity is the soul of the wit, especially around holi ;)
Friday, March 21, 2008 @ 9:04 AM
Aha the answer to that can be sort of compiled if one is an electrical engineer and all that.
The phenomenon where Jason Bourne a.k.a Matt Damon works in a lab is called Matlab.
And about your lunch time companions, I assume they were from your workplace and all that, if so would you be kind enough to ask around if they have jobs for eccentric analog designers.You see in my case if I had come up with this, my lunch session would have pretty much turned out to be a lynch session. And not David variety ………And whats with the pah thingy, I am told by the way that I say bah a lot and pliss to notice that we appreciate your sparkling wit as much as we love some Saints inventions. You see we just extrapolated from our lunch time experiences as to the after effects of such inspirations…….
Saturday, March 22, 2008 @ 9:36 AM
Was that a liquid lunch?
Saturday, March 22, 2008 @ 9:43 AM

Megs: On a different subject: When you were in the Gaul Stones’ place, did you get a chance to dine out at this place ??
Latka Hua Lunch ….:) Thinking of going there …..so wanted ur precious advice !!
Monday, March 24, 2008 @ 11:59 AM
How about this one?
Monday, March 24, 2008 @ 4:59 PM
I’ve two questions..
1. What do we do to make Rabindranath Ragore blush?
2. If Sharmila Tagore unblushes, do we get Rabindranath Tagore back?
Wednesday, March 26, 2008 @ 4:56 AM
Megha…its been a while since I have been here…but coming back I have enjoyed reading them all..great going!
Tuesday, July 8, 2008 @ 5:32 AM
