“You Look Like You Might Be Interested In Some Great Conversation.” Askmen.com

In # 4, this line assures you a berth in a women for a brief moment… Well you need the right voice over, with right attitude to fire this short range missile. If you hit the target at the way it’s meant to be, then you can expect a smile breaking in front of you…
This punch line helps you get entry, it also creates topic to delve your conversation. With this opener, you can talk on anything from food to wine or from a current event to the venue. Always, remember to keep it light, forget those heavyweight topics …..

Why this topic in my blog: Well I found it interesting after I had a casual encounter with a lady at Tavern, Pub, Bangalore. Thought I started well, I lost steam midway….

To Sir With Love

It was from such an unexpected quarter that I receive the helpful advice which changed the whole course of my life….” To sir with Love” E.R. Bhaithwaite:

How often have you received unrequited attention, caring or love? Sometimes an unexpected strangers speaks few kind words to you or smiles on the road or touch you with love!

Big city life can become lonely despite your big fat pay check or your gleaming presence. In an apartment life, grief can touch you ‘all alone.

These days, I feel such pangs of pain thinking of little events around my life. I felt the need to speak out to someone, but all I hear is the damned horns in this big city Bangalore.. 😦 

Genesis Again

My blogging is like a kite floating in sky. Sometimes an upward surge of wind will keep it going high, or then, it will drive down to earth.

Today I again got that blast of southern wind. Now I’m back sharing old tales and my aging thoughts. Today the surge to write comes from an idea to share lines from novels and it’s ripples in me. Today as I was reading ” God of small things” in the loo, I thought its rich narrative exploded something in my head.

Why not share few here to make a sequel out of it. I hope this idea will give something more to blog about.

Bryan Adams in Bangalore

18 till I do, fella is back for the fourth time in Bangalore. For me it’s the first time, I’m attending his show. I got free tickets, with that I happily went to the venue. The whole area was filled with cars, dust, and short skirts. Seeing the lasses in short colorful skirts rocked my spirits further.

I went inside the venue thinking of the Kingfisher beer or Royal Challenge. But all hopes evaporated as soon I entered the venue. So fuc*** counters for booze. What a pity to be in a rock show with out any elevated spirits.

Bryan Adams in Bangalore
There was no opening band. That was a dampener.

As the show kicked up, the young crowd swayed to his old beats. All I could see was a  silhouette from a distance  and up close from the big screens. As my friend remarked, he has aged beyond his years and he looked liked an old 50’s guy.
