Welcome to Triton…

| June 30th, 2006

unfateful as i am, i spend most of my precious hours at triton the second biggest agency (i better not specify the region)…

At Triton we’re very friendly, we abuse each other, we beat each other, if you’re sitting in peace someone will come to you give you the finger every five minutes… So there is lot of love and affection in the office. We spend hours on discussions that lead towards the very reason why we started the discussion and then we discuss that why did we start discussing whatever we were. You can understand the plight of the poor clients who trusted us with their advertising duties. With such an inspiring and interesting discussion i know you’d like to meet the people here…

 

You know about Karan and Ravi… so we’ll take a walk in the office and meet everyone.

Padma- reception: I bet she is on weed, nothing else can explain how she can keep on smiling after all the bull shit in the office.

Vasundhara: She joined recently and as it happens with everyone she had a rosy picture and now all she can see is thorns… But she takes it very well and is optimistic about whatever is happening. Moreover no one has the balls to mess with her…

 

Kiran : Besides her sits the pain…. Kiran Gogte, he is the reason for 85% of suicides on this planet. And there’ll be a lot more deaths in triton if he stays for long. He simply denies to understand anything… chuck it i dont wanna write about him it’s depressing… I’m kinda suicidal.

Deepty: What is her blood group? any guesses? ha i’ll tell you. it’s b silent. She is the example of how the society ruins some individuals. She has been opressed till the maximum possible level. But she has started to take it well, and as she is sitting besides me she is giggling… I know not what for… Probably some side effects.

And Karan is screaming that he’s going to Leh, i guess the meeting in the evening has had some major effect on his brains….

Rohit: The Thapa, he is a marawari thapa… Talk about travelling faster than time he speaks slower than anyone i know… he’ll smile quitely and like a newly wed bride when he reads this.

Now Deepty’s seat has been taken by Mehul…

Mehul: the freaky dude… the aritst… he’s losing his hair and pretty fast that too…  He makes some really neat layouts but as everyone here he gets his ass kicked for doin it… He tries to teach everyone photography but he doesn’t understand that everyone in triton is a prodigy and no one gives a damn about it…

Sanjay Da: Ahem…. Sarcasm… yes thats what he is. Pure unadultrated sarcasm…One kick ass guy… His mom makes amazing macchi and so i’m not gonna write anything more or else i wont be invited to the next macchi party…

Sahir: The prince… ‘Fuck it man… I dont have a personal life or what’ are his words when he’s sitting on the stairs and smoking after a long meeting. He’s the prince of web and has been pushed into client servicing…. We can’t see anyone happy… can we?

Lazy as i am…. everyone else in the next post…

Who are they?

| June 26th, 2006

Okay.. So many of you whom i force to read my blog don’t know the people I’m writing about. So as it is a monday morning and i don’t have anything to do as yet I’ll tell you about the people I’m writing about…

Dee: Dee uh well.. she’s crazy and she fights a lot and more than fighting she laughs a lot, if she took laughing as a profession she’d be a millionare by now… In Delhi right now..

Mom: She’s the cutest and coolest ‘35 year old woman’(thats the age she’s telling me since past 5 years so….). She’s the best mom one can ever have!(Yes! She’ll make Dal bati for me for saying this.)

Richa: She’s like the stock market, one moment she’ll push you into depression and the next moment she will leave you ecstatic…(Yeah i know she’s gonna kick my ass for writing this. but a man’s gotta do what he’s gotta do.)

Raghav: He’s this huge perverse brain on two legs. He is always filled with really sad and sick jokes and he’s aptly named ‘P.C Dogg’… But he’s one helluva friend to have.. Right now in Australia i fuckin miss him.(not platonically ofcourse)

Roma: She is this tall attitude filled chick and at times behaves as my alter-ego… She’s in U.K and the bitch ain’t coming back.. I fuckin miss her too (Platonically this time :p)

Karan: He’s the fellow copywriter with me at the agency… his favorite quote ‘LIFE SUCKS!’ The future film maker takes his life a bit too seriously and is preparing for his bike trip to Leh Ladakh…He is somehow not interested in sex and talking about it pisses him off, so he has a hard time with me coz sex is always on the top of my list… Wait sex as in not with hum but with girls… Hope he makes his trip… 

Ravi: He’s another collegue and friend. I guess he’s the origin of the word ‘Hyperactive’… Jumping around all the whil I’ve never ever seen him down. Guess after he dies the junkies will use his body parts as amphitamines..

Vega, Vera, Sherry,  Aisha: The former is christened  Obese Barbie by me, coz she thinks like she is a barbie but actually she’s just obese.. Vera is Vega’s sister dumber than her and can’t stop talking. Sherry is enjoying her her newly achieved freedom, one word to describe Aisha is ‘confusion’, she is not sure of absolutely anything in her life…

The doggs: This was/is the group started with an aim to become the group of biggest losers. But nothing goes as planned and we ended up becoming one of the coolest group. SUCKS. The active members as for now are Poppie-Khaleel, Psycho-Ayush, P.C-Raghav,Mojo-Ankit and Kinky-Luv…

 

I don’t think the rest of them matter.

 

 

 

Damn… I’m writing a sequel.. Shit it feels good. Okie so the museum instructor sucked big time…When Ravi asked him why were the pots used he says “Mujhe kya pata mein to tab paida bhi nahi hua tha…”.  And we also came to kow that Lothal is just a small part the actual excavation is at Dholavira. So we left from Lothal hungry as hell and the sun was right on top. Sheenu told his parents that he’s going to play cricket, so his parents started calling and he was in a hurry. but jerks as we are we took our time. Parked our bikes beside the highway sat on this bullock cart and clicked some pics.. the drive back was nothing incredible with sun on the top. We were riding back hard to cover the time we had lost. But it was just too mcuh we took a stop at about 20 kms from Ahmedabad, had lassis and hit the road again.

Dropped Ravi and Vega, and had a discussion who will keep the precious Telephone Chaap Beedis and Karan did.  

 So the lesson learned was summer ain’t the best time to return form Lothal, i mean it’s really nice drive in the mornng but drive back was not that someone would enjoy… 

And that the ride is better than the place.

 

On travelling time…

| June 19th, 2006

The stage was set after the very irritating bollywood flick on saturday night, we were all geared up to travel time the next morning. With the 21st centur gadgets and machines it didn’t look such a difficult task to go back in time. We decided to go to the time of great Indus Valley Civilaztion. 2400BC was the dateline we decided to hit. It was 4:30 in the morning when my alarm went off and i woke up to see a dark early morning sky with moon still shining bright. I got ready for the trip, got Janis and hit the road to pick up Vega who shockingly was ready and all geared up. We went to Ravi’s place and he was dead asleep after some kicks and a flash he woke up.We waited down and in came Karan and Sheenu telling us about an accident they had on the way and in no time we were all ready to travel to the past. With chrome gas and rubber we hit the road. It was a beautiful drive down the highway, throtling our bikes at 6 in the morning. We didn’t reach far and took a stop coz we realized that we dont know the way… We had a very badly needed smoke and then hit the road again. with beautiful fields on the sides of the highway it was an amazing feeling. Me and Karan were still struggling to sound like Joe Crocker in his Woodstock cover of ‘with a li’l help of my friends. The beautfiul fields made way for ugly industries as we entered the industrial area with a stink and small ponds of toxic water. As i was telling Vega how disgusted i felt seeing this toxicated state of nature, she spotted a dead cow near the pond which was covered with foam. thankfully the stretch didn’t last long and the beautiful fields were back in sight. The next stop was a mall bridge under which were salt covered fields. We cherished the beauty of nature’s canvas and tried to fit ourselves in the canvas with some flashes. We were back on the road enjoying the beautiful ride and stopped at a goddamn railway crossing. We followed the sign board and went off the highway to a narrow road which lead to Lothal, the excavation site of the indus valley civilization. We stopped at the  small shop to have tea coz that was the only place where we would get something. Karan n sheenu had tea and we bought a pack of ‘Telephone Chaap Beedis’. We hit the road again, it was serene and almost no vehicles on that 7 km stretch towards lothal.

 

Finally we were there. No guides, we were to find our way to the excavation sites which wasn’t a very difficult task but understanding them was. The boards helped a little, but they also indicated that we don’t know much about the great Indus civilization. Mom called and asked me where was i? When i revealed that i was at Lothal she was kinda frantic, but had to calm her down, i’ve been doing that since quite some time now. Shock her, and then calm her down. We roamed in the 5000 year old city picking up some broken pieces of pottery that dated back to 2300BC. Most of the time we had to make our own stories behind the structures that we couldn’t understand, and are we good at it or what?

all this while Karan expressed his dissatisfaction and said “Be in logo ne sahi se kaam nahi kiya hai… poora khoda nahi hai..”

After taking a couple of pictures,we met the care taker who said we cant do it. On asking him the reason he said that he doesnt know all he knows is we cant take pics… Whatever.. Sunshine we already did.

 Waiting for the museum was difficult for Ravi as he was very hungry and a family opened up their lunch and start eating. Ravi was incapable of taking his eyes off the parathas…The musuem opened and we saw some really amamzing stuff and we realized how developed was the civilzation and how stylish too… :)

I’m kinda tired, wrote a lot… the return wil be in the next post..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I lead him to my love…

| June 17th, 2006

Hey i was juzz sitting in the office, killing time so i wrote this! 

 

I lead him to my love…

 

It was so beautiful,

So serene, so dark.

I walked alone on unknown paths,

No harbor, no directions,

I just walked.

At times a mile, at times a block,

At times a million clouds I crossed.

 

Then I saw it, a light,

Was that where I shall lay my head?

I walked to it, with a sparkle in my eye,

Someday I shall touch it, and she will be all mine.

 

I was a fool to find a direction,

A beauty to conquer, a reason to live,

I reached the light, walking day and night.

She enchanted me to walk to her,

Hold her in my arms and mingle forever.

 

I took a step and a shadow I saw,

A knight it was, with his shining armour,

He kissed the light and held her,

I had a tear, or was it water that mocked me.

Not just a tear I had a smile as well,

It was then I realized, she enchanted me,

She called me to hold her and mingle forever,

She didn’t deceive me; she just loved him a lot,

He knew not the way, and I lead him to my love…

Guess who’s back??

 

Yeah nothing to be very excited its just me…the same good ol’ twisted luv.

Yesterday night was bad it was intense… like the climax of a stephen king book. but i’m glad it passed.I went to my college today met all those old buggers, sitting beneath the legendary tree near the canteen. But there was a really bad news that i got in the college, the news stuck me like a bolt of lightning and i thought i would just disappear into ashes. But brave as i am i controlled my overflowing emotions and held back my tears and asked myself why would someone do such a thing? Has humanity become extinct? this was my state as Ravi broke the news that the legendary sutta joint is no longer there. I met Mrs. Verma too she tends to forget everything, i met her some 10 days back and she asked me what band am i plaing in? i said none and am working in an ad agency. Today when i met her she asked me the same question that what band am i playing in? i said the same thing…

 So with a heavy heart i left the college with Janis…

Yeah i’m too fucked up in the head to write a title…actually i’m too fucked up to write anything. but what the heck i’ll write nevertheless. dint have an amazing day another mediocre day. doing nothing staring at the wall… met the lion king today and instead of just sitting and listening to his philosophies i hammered some of mine and he took it good… unlike most of you that are readin this blog. fuck it i dun feel like writing. goin to eat pau bhaji

 

 

cheers

Oh God! I have a blog…

| June 15th, 2006

Jesus Christ I have my own blog… yeah i know it’s nothing to be so excited about but i was just trying to have a good start. I can’t believe it’s one thirty in the night and i’m sitting in the office writing something that no one will read… I’m such a looser i got nothing better to do. Making ads is not a good job it sucks, it sucks ass, it sucks dick but more importantly it sucks the life out of you. All i do all day is stare at the computer screen or my new girlfriend. She’s tough i spend all my day with her, she’s white and huge people know her by the name of “Wall”… The beautiful(nothing great but i’m again trying to please myself) white wall near the staircase of my office. For hours we stare into each others eyes completely lost, but then i realize its time to light a cigarette. Yeah that reminds me, i burnt the dustbin in front of my office today, i smoked a cigarette and like any good and responsible citizen would do i threw it in the dustbin. Sometime later a colleague ran in the office screaming that the corridor is on fire. I knew what was it and i sank into my chair pretending that i was invisible. But then my boss walked towards me and he said “Look Luv i know rather we all know it’s you…” and i was like um yeah uh okay…But nothing has happened yet just that the 2 feet plastic dustbin is now 1 foot. okie i guess i gotta leave now. My girls surely gonna dump me sometime soon and it would so completely suck… That bugger Raghav down in australia is all in love and shit goign crazy after this girl i dunno wat to do…Roma calls at times. I have this feeling soon my personal life is so gonna get fucked but it wont matter coz since i joined the ad agency i dun have a personal life…

 

Kinda sleepy lets hit the road and then the bed…
