Category: Anniversary

  • The Real and the Virtual

    He got married on April 24th 2003, to the woman he had loved for six years. He noted that somehow it all seemed to add up to 6. And so, on the sixth day he created ‘manuscrypts‘. From then on he was in seventh heaven. It’s been six years.
    It would’ve ended there, but manuscrypts was tempted to finish his sixth year with sixty six words.

    until next time, six degrees of separation 🙂

    PS: Next post, in about 7 days. 🙂

  • Panchvi Pass

    They asked him about his new fad. He said it was a 55, a concept/story told in 55 words, no more no less. They said, okay when would he stop. He said, soon. Actually, it was just a quirky race, to complete fifty five 55s before his blog turned 5. That day would be tomorrow.

    Until next time, ab tak pachpan 🙂

  • Fourplay

    She removed her clothes, one by one; all the while aware he was watching her. Slowly, for she was waiting for him to join her. He didn’t. He thought girls hated being disturbed while washing their dolls; he didn’t like playing with dolls anyway.

    The bridegroom had been engaged once before the marriage. The bride had had two affairs before the marriage. At 33, she realised there had been just about enough of foreplay in her life, and hoped that her fairytale wedding would have a wonderful climax.

    They were all here, by invitation, and they all wanted to know what this was all about. But they would have to wait a little longer, for there was one more episode to go before all became clear. He was hoping they would wait.

    What was that about? It was nothing much, it was just that his blog was celebrating its fourth anniversary, and he thought writing four episodes of forty four words would be a good way to celebrate it. Until next time, how was the fourplay?

  • Ash’s to ashes

    and dust to dust.. thats how ash’s relationships seem to be going…. and the latest reason sounds like the title song of Aamir’s mutiny movie… funny that both the relationship and the movie sank without a trace… nope, it isnt a connection for the sake of a pun…:)
    wonder how many of you remember ‘Hi, I am Sanjana’.. that was the first time i remember Ash on Tv… it was a much awaited ad from pepsi, featuring the nation’s then chocolate hero, Aamir Khan and a relatively less known Ash.. and thats around the time i convinced a certain ‘Cool Drinks’ shop owner that the pepsi poster featuring Ash would look much better on my wall than in his store… and then came the beauty contests, and the movies, and Ash went from looking hot in cold drink ads to looking cold even in hot scenes.. cant actually think of any exact time when the transformation happened, but yes, do remember the huge black and white poster bought in Chennai to celebrate the 12th Board results, for a princely sum of Rs.50 🙂
    There have been many men in her life after that 😉 – Salman Khan, Vivek Oberoi, with the latest being Bachchan’s bachcha… and while Ash has been wearing whole range of hats from a modelto a Miss World to a Bollywood Diva, i have completed a hat trick too, a hattrick, for April 29 marks the end of the third year of blogging…
    until next time, for a mistress of spices, variety can only be another spice in life 🙂
  • Just a second…..anniversary special

    All this while, there’s been reason and no rhyme
    And to the rhymester within, thats been a crime
    So he thought, what better way to celebrate a blog birthday
    than rhyming about all the guys he’s met on the way….
    For all who think he’s better off keeping mum
    This is nothing, the verse is yet to come….

    Aqua wants us to remember
    that we have dreams in December

    Here’s where we get elixir, but sadly, only a drop,
    coz as the line goes,’once you start, you can’t stop’

    then there’s the apple of newton’s eye
    ebony or ivory, wonder which is her favourite dye

    The bad man talking calls himself stone,
    But his notes to self always have a good tone..

    and though this one advertises herself as a ‘solitary cynic’
    she is an integral part of the AA clique…

    Vanilla writes on chocoalate cake,
    dilse bolo, a better combination, could anyone make?

    Until a jolt of reality, a potpourri of thoughts she used to fill,
    pallavi’s the name, and the blog that rocks is called jilmil…

    Unless you have gone totally blind
    a million light bulbs should help read the mind…

    For those who think eschewing obfuscation wouldn’t do
    Harneet has random ruminations too…

    Arunima has titled her blog “Silent Eloquence”
    and for once, she makes a a lot of sense

    Just a workshop?, nope, its not so simple,
    coz its owned by none other than the devil…

    And when you’re always sanguine,
    Celeb(be)rating life has to be in!!

    The view from the tower must be supreme,
    but then, being rapunzel itself is such a wonderful dream….

    This one calls himself no hair brain
    and his ruminations are far from insane…

    From the oaf to pleo, he has a split personality of sorts
    blot of thoughts, thought of blots, he calls it ‘bloughts’…

    The Goan Sri Sri, white is one of his favourite hues
    but he still calls his blog ‘saltwater blues’.

    Finding a vanilla field is easier than i thought
    but i hope this stays, and no new beginnings are sought…

    The spirituality and the name -blokesablogin
    got me confused, thought it was yang, turned out to be yin…

    Arvind Iyer is the ‘lean dude with attitude’
    hey, its trademarked, unauthorised use could get you sued…

    A lot of ideas are forged by the ideasmith
    and most of them are the kind you’ll agree with..

    Ashweeta has got herself some pages at typepad,
    and here, even the PJs aren’t that bad…

    The crackpot calls her blog ‘inkspillz’
    and though she’s not a goddess now,it certainly sizzlez!!

    The chipmonster speaks, but she blogz as coolcat,
    but whatever the name, this one’s cool and thats that!!

    Whats an erratic soul that can dance?
    That folks, is what we call an errantrance

    The fish called goonda thinks she’s a fishy fiend,
    but after sad-turn kidnapped her, she’s taken a long time to mend….

    Austere she is, and a seeker too,
    wonder what she seeks, or should it be who??

    The Grinch may call it ‘grinchscrumpit’ or ‘my dump pit’,
    but the content is as good as any floyd hit…

    Nupur writes about what even she doesnt know,
    but mate, she does have a template whiter than snow..

    Chaotic daze and enthu knights,
    gump does have some great insights

    Garfy has got herself a diary
    and her antics are anything but dreary…

    Amidst all the middle east’s troubles
    ashi sips coffee and continues her virtual scribbles..

    Kraz calls his place wrecktangle
    and to every tale, he adds a unique angle…


    Pompy’s blog is “off the cuff”

    but you wouldnt realise, judging from the stuff


    Imagine a blog by satchit haridas,
    actually dont, he already has….

    Crabbie likes to call it goofiness personified
    but pretty soon it could become a classic food guide 🙂

    one of the best templates you can find – thats “pradeeps’s mindspace”
    he posts every bluemoon, and in spite of my taunts, he wont mend his ways!!

    Once she used to be a bug, she is now an angel with wings
    and from budhhism to winterwear, she can write on a zillion things!!

    He’s the blogger who whacks the talk,
    but when he gets verse, i go “what the f***”!!

    There’s someone who goes by the name of J
    she has a warped mind, and thats all she’ll say..:)

    Anubhas world has a lot of scribblings
    and an attitude, among other things…

    And from the days of rediff, i’ve been getting some pearls of wisdom,
    She’s not on the list, but she’s as good as they come..

    The journey that began on a boring tuesday,
    has continued for 2 years, to this day…
    for better or verse, this one is for all the bloggers i know
    and the ones i dont, but who are still part of the show…
