The meister recently saw a whole bunch of movies.

Batman Begins (Christian Bale, Heath Ledger)

Chris Nolan has done a brilliant job. Both Bale and Ledger were awesome. The meister would rate Ledger's performance on the same level as Javier Bardem in No Country for Old men. He deserves an Oscar nomination. The script was well-written and the visual effects and stunts were extra-ordinary. Eckhart as Dent was also good. We also started 'believing in Harvey Dent'.

Wanted (James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie)

Stunts were absolutely top-draw. Plus there was Jolie's ass. Need the meister say more.

Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrells (Jason Statham, Vinnie Jones)

The meister has becoma a fan of this film. This is one of the best movies the meister has ever seen in his life. The storyline, the acting, the background score, the dialogues all of them are of stupendous quality.

Excepts: (coming later)

Kung-Fu Panda (Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman)

The funniest movie of the year. The chemistry between Black and Hoffman is superb. Po is undoubtedly one of the most lovable characters ever in celluloid history.

The Mummy - Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (Brendan Fraser, Jet Li, Michelle Yeo)

The meister loved the yetis. Plus whoever came up with the idea of a fight between zombies and the terracotta army deserves a medal. Unfortunately, there was no chemistry between Fraser and Bello. Rachel Weisz was sorely missed.

The Perfect Murder (Naseeruddin Shah, Stellan Skargskard, Amjad Khan)

A Merchant Ivory classic. The meister has always liked Keating's Inspector Ghote. Some excellent acting from all the actors made this movie truly enjoyable.

Happy for the special one

The meister is happy for his special one. She just informed him that her paper's been accepted for an international conference in Malaysia. It will be a good exposure for her and will hopefully lead to bigger and better things. It should also help her in getting out of the Bangal country.

Though the meister is extremely lazy, lackadaisical and well to tell the truth a bit of a fraud in the education department, he is ready and willing to help in any way possible.

All the best to the special one.

These humans are CRAZY!!!

The more the meister sees the world, the more he realises that his whole race - Homo Sapiens - is completely bonkers. In fact the only exception to that is the meister himself. He is lile the lone beacon of sanity in the all encompassing tumultous waves of insanity. (Bloody hell that was too literary!!)
Anyway, yesterday the meister was in EFLU and had an impromptu meeting with other football enthusiasts and all of a sudden appeared this apparition, decked in pyjamas with a cape round her shoulders and her f*ing underwear. (The meister guesses it was an attempt to bcom a superheroine.) On furhter queries it was revealed that she apparently lost a bet and thus had to make a fool of herself in public.

SKT (the guy single-handedly responsible for a massive genocide of the bee population) has once again come back to Hyd. Unfortunately, he is becoming an absolute nutter. Yesterday, just before going for a shower he took off his glasses and promptly forgot all abt it. So, after shower him, the meister and the Great Indian Chunkubaz (that notorious seducer of boudis) spent almost half an hour tearing the apartment down looking for the specs. Guess where it was finally found.



In the f*ing kitchen, thats where. Beside a packet of detergent powder.

Happy for Aru

The shockmeister is very happy for his friend Aru. She has got admission for P hechch d in a prestigious university in Los Angeles. Aru is one of the few friends of the meister who actually helped him a lot in the last couple of years and has generally been a good friend. So once again the meister is very happy for her. What's more she has also taken an apartment there. Wuhoo!!

Now only if those buggers in the government finally decide to give the meister a passport, then the meister can go to the land of the stars.

The meister was bankrupt so he had to go to an ATM. The nearest one is in the LifeStyle building. So the meister walked the whole way and back from his office. What is really surprising is that the meister did not even sweat and was not tired at all although he walked the whole length of the Begumpet overbridge twice. Bloody Hell!!!

Bhongir

The meister today went to Bhongir fort. The trip started at 9 in the morning. The birdgirl came and picked the meister up. SS was also there as was Bebo. The journey was very pleasand and it was spent bitching about thta pseudo-legal place. The onlyh other incident worth mentioning was that SS got very excited upon seeing a train.
They reached Bhongir after an hour's journey and promptly got lost while trying to find the entrance. However after a couple of false starts, they managed to locate it, buy the tickets and enter the compound. Upon which they realized that it was gonna be a hell of a climb. Undaunted, the adventurers started the climb and soon SS and the meister were seen huffing and most definitely puffing. After almost an hour, climb they reached an area from where the meister refused to go further up coz of his vertigo/altophobia. SS very sweetly agreed to accompany him while Birdgirl and Bebo went further up. One extraordinary thing that happened here was that Bebo was actually blown over by the wind- she actually fell down. After that they held hands and went up. While the other two were up, meister and SS sat and speculated about the history of the fort. They also discovered a bigass rock shaped like an anvil. Soon, the two girls started to come down. Bebo took an unique approach, she slid down on her butt. It was late found out that apparently fibers came out of her jeans. The 4 some then had lunch comprising brown rice, fish tikka and potato chips. Bebo had iced tea and sausage in a bun while SS ate only chips. This was the first time meister ate brown rice. He didn't even know that there is ricethat is brown!!!!
After lunch they proceded downweards and en route the meister made a complete of himself coz of his phobias. However, he still managed to clean the fort by collecting quite a bit of discarded junk plastic( which some very civic minded morons have lovingly left behind in the fort) and getting rid of them once outside.
From Bhongir, the 4some went to Charminar where Bebo bought some bangles. She surprised every1 with her bargaining prowess. She bought the bangles for 40 bucks while the shopkeeper was asking for 300 bucks!!!!!
After shopping, they went to Prasads to see KungFu Panda. The meister got his BP checked and it came a t 117-74, which was terrific considering that 6 months ago it was 160-110.
The 4some had some subs and cold coffee at Subway (well duh!!!) They also got some apple struddle/struffle/struggle/whatever free with their subs. The apple thingies were quite good actually.
The movie was bloody awesome.
So all in all it was a great day.

The icing on the top was when
1. the meister bought a newspaper and read that the indian pugilists have made it to the quarter ,
2. when the meister heard from his dad that Arsenal has won only by a single solitary goal against West Bromwich Albion (potentially the team which will win the least number of points this season)

and 3. when the meister came home and realized that he had inadvertently locked his roommate in the apartment all day... wuhooo

Stop making fun of the shockmeister

As the title suggests, stop making fun of the shockmeister. He is really tired of it. He knows he is a loser of epic proportions and all that but that does not mean he should be made fun of all the time. Anyway, that has been the story of the meister's life -- sadness and disappointments.
However, he is excited about tomorrow's trip to the fort. (Our sources reveal that there are likely to be loads of monkeys and as we all know monkeys and Birdgirl don't exactly go well together.) The shockmeister says that he can never thank Birdgirl and SS enough for planning the trip and taking him along.
A momentous thing happened today in the meister's life. He actually talked on the phone for almost two hours with SS. He actually ran out of balance in the middle of the conversation but the lady was nice and sweet enough to call back immediately. (It has been confirmed that they were bitching about that pseudo-legal work place, which coincidentally is the last place on earth where slavery is still practiced).
Its the longest the meister has ever spoken on the phone and he enjoyed every minute of it.
It was a day of long talks for the meister. In the evening he had a pleasant time chatting with Ru. It is said that bzoz of him Ru actually ate a kachauri (albeit her forcing most of her friends to swear to never eatthem!!)
The meister also called up KST (who by the way has the best taste in music ever) and tried talkingwith her but actually got to talk to her boyfriend Ban. Anyway she called back and the meister got to know that for the umpteenth time, KST is cooking shrimps and spaghetti. It is allegedly her favorite dish.

So all in all the meister had a nice day but it was all spoiled when a very close person made fun of him :-(

A hard night's night.

Just recently, our resident superhero the shockmeister had a n adventure of epic proportions. Ably supported by Krsh, he foiled the nefarious intentions of the Hyderabadi autowallahs. The shockmeister, Krsh and anothe friend the YashMan had gone to Reshmi's for dinner. The Yashman had recently gone to Macau and he brought a gift for the shockmeister. Imagine the shockmeister's surprise when the gift turned out to be an official Man United wallet. He was greatly pleased with YashMan's gesture nonetheless. As the shockmeister is a blueblood (for the unfortunate ones who don't know that's a die hard Chelsea fan) it was akin to Osama getting George's poster or autobiography as a gift. Anyway, after dinner, Krsh and our superhero started to walk back with the intention of getting an auto. Unfortunately, the rain god had other plans and opened his taps full throttle. So, our superhero got drenched.
Seeing the opportunity, the villainous autowallahs started to ask for exhorbitant amounts to go to Tarnaka. But, our superhero refused to kowtow to their demands. Despite carrying a load of abt 10 Kgs (he was carrying a huge bundle of books for a friend) and being drenched to the marrow, he staunchly walked on and on and on. He also took time off to help a modern day damsel in distress who was stuck with her scooty.
Anyway, he walked and walked and walked. Near Keys HIgh School, he got tired and asked an autowallah. He was prepared to give a few rupees extra. The damn autowallah demanded Rs. 120!!!! In return, he got a look of utter disdain from the shockmeister.
With pained feet, wet clothes, heedless of mother nature's call and with steely resolve, our hero kept walking and walking and walking............




He was late to office on the next day.

Luw

The shockmeister is in luw. He has been in the condition for nearly 2.5 years now. He recently proposed to the girl. However, the girl has categorically stated that she will never marry the shockmeister. The shockmeister is sad but he has no complaints. He knows that living with the shockmeister is bloody difficult, almost impossible. Unfortunately, shockmeister is a one woman guy. So he has mentally prepared himself to live the rest of his life all alone.

Poor shock, nobody luws him.

But he is not too worried. There's always football!!!!!

Shockmeister to the rescue!

The shockmeister recently got involved in a heated argument involving 5 Russian girls and 1 Telugu autowallah. Apparently the Russians got into the auto at Prasads and told the driver that they they wanted to go near Osmania University. Following the great tradition ofthe autowallahs, the guy asked them to pay Rs. 120 which they agreed to.
The problem - the girls stay in Sitafalmandi and not Osmania.
The agitated autowallah started shouting and demanding more money. The agitated Russians started shouting and refusing to pay 1 single extra rupee. The shockmeister started enjoying the event immensely.
However, the shockmeister's enjoyment was mometary as things started to escalate with the girls threatening to call those modern day organised hooligans also known as the police.
The shockmeister had to get involved. He calmed both parties down. He convinced the autowallah to take the girls to take them to their homes and convinced the girls to pay the amount. He also accompanied the girls in the auto to their house.
In return for his involvement, the shockmeister got a thanks and free return trip from the autowallah and smiles and thanks from the Russians.

All in all a nice night's work, don't you think?

Horns of a Dilemna

The shockmeister is in a dilemna. There are 6 puppys in ciefl campus. The question which is reverberating in the shockmeister's mind is whether he should take them to Blue Cross or not. The problem is with the pups' mum. She is a frail thing and the shockmeister does not want to take a chance with separation. On the other hand it is imperative to shift the puppies, coz the puppies are definitely not in a healthy environment. In fact one of the puppies was run over by a fruit of a union between a pig and a whore; the pup bled to death in shockmeister's hands while he tried to save it. Unfortunately he could not get any of his friends to help coz they were all busy.

So, this is one more problem in the life of the shockmeister.
What is he going to do???
