Benefits of Not Having a Girl-Friend

Statutory Warning - If You are a girl, please do not Proceed.


I have been friends to many guys having Girl Friends and all that's common they got is that none of them have time for themselves, forget family and friends. That's been the story of my life. I did tried many times, but today I feel really great that I didn't succeed. Yeah, yeah grapes are sour, I know that. However, I have learnt the lesson that it's good to be alone than having someone constantly monitoring and bugging you. Here goes the benefits of being single  :-

1. No need to explain why you smoke and drink.
2. No need to buy Reliance CDMA phone for unlimited free calls (catch the drift) and less bill amount.
3. Can talk and flirt with anyone you like.
4. No need to explain why you didn't picked the call.
5. You can utilize leaves to go to your native rather than going to meet your girl.
6. All the money in world is yours and yours only to spend on yourself.
7. No need to fight with friends over Weekend Plans. Always available.
8. No added pressure at office.
9. No telling lies.

Well, more can be added to the list, however I feel those are the main points. If you sum up all the these, you will figure out the alchemy, the eternal freedom and the way to live life, king size.


Note : - This is not a work of fiction and any resemblance to all living and dead is purely intentional.
             If you are a girl, (and still reading this), you know you got a problem. Just too curious to
             know everything, isn't it?   :-)

Being Uncle...................................

Every morning, when I see my image in mirror, I say "Sam, you are more than 25 now, and still look like a guy from college - basically a kid." untill yesterday.

I woke up early morning to hit gym. When I was returning, a young boy was standing on footpath looking for lift. I stopped. He said - "Uncle, can you please drop me at main road?".

"Oye, do I look like Uncle to you?" I said.

He replied innocently - "Yes Uncle?".

I felt like someone had hit me with iron rod at my head. I was astonished and stunned to hear that. I have always admired my childish look. I always felt good when someone younger than me had come to me and asked me which year in college I am.

And there was this kid, shattered my long cherished illusion in few words. I realized, that one day or other, it had to happen. Run however and wherever you want, but you can't run away from fact. And the fact is, I am getting older. My friends are getting married and soon, I will be addressed as Uncle only (ofcourse by their Kids).

Am I feeling bad cause of this? Not now.

I know very well, the more you try not to be someone, the more closer you get to be. The more you worry about your age, the older you look. Feel like a kid at heart and behave like one sometime. It can do wonders for you.

As for being Uncle, it's a phase and will pass by and will change to Grand Dad.  :-)

What an Idea Sir jee...................

Last Week I changed my mobile number from Vodafone to Idea Cellular. I was having trouble with Vodafone. I used to get 10-15 messages from builders regarding housing site available at the end of the world and 3 out of 5 calls to my Dad were ending up being void.  One of my room-mate told me about the great Corporate plans of Idea Cellular. I gave it a thought and checked out the plans.

Zeroed on a particular plan and got the connection. My room-mates to changed their network provider to Idea Cellular. I was not having any problem with network but my room-mate got pissed with it. His number was not reachable even in open spaces least to talk about lift. We thought it might be the issue with our mobile and exchanged it with each other. Result being the same, we decided to chuck it out and again I am using my Vodafone number.

During this time period, I have seen a lot of advertisement of Idea Cellular starring Abhishek Bachchan, saying "Get Idea". Every time the advertisement comes up at my television screen, I wonder why I got the idea to get Idea. It's like adding salt to injury and wounds.  Out of all the "Get Idea" ads the best was lift one.
Abhishek Bachchan in a lift with a person complaining about network unavailibility. Abhishek advices - "Get Idea". And here we were not reachable even in open space and grounds.

I really appreciate the creative team who had come up with those ads. Great work. What an Idea Sir Ji.
I got fooled. But that was not long-lasting. I switched to Vodafone again.

I here by apologies to all my friends and collegues for the inconvenience caused.
