DISQUS

Nidhee · 2 years ago

As usual a good laugh riot. I had a crush on Jr. B, but it soon fizzeled out when i realised he liked Ms. Rai. I like my men to be more resistent to plastic.

>>> Do you have my sunscreen in that bag? It must be next to my night cream and moisturiser

Have you thought of what will happen when the Bachchan's reproduce? Best to plan in advance, i say. For the record, I managed to get away with just a couple of glasses of wine on their wedding day. Cheap, no?

Dev · 2 years ago

SO you are back! Some of had been worried that your marriage had affected your creative skills, and you'll turn into one of those bloggers who writes about the increasing prices of dal and rice..
It's great to read this..

----*--The words ‘You won’t understand’ from a woman’s mouth ranks up there with other ominous utterances like: “Howdy dear Iraqi people! We will restore democracy, clean up the place and be gone in a jiffy before you can say ‘What happened to all the bloody petroleum Mohammed?’ Shia all very Sunni then…” or “Let’s take a quick single Sourav!”------*--

Couldn't agree wit u more.. jus ystrdy a gal told me the same thing..
Nice read though!

Whatay piece I say. Whatay funny! Too good!

Karmadude · 2 years ago

That was funny, and thanks for bringing back some fainting memories of Matheran. I think it was back in 92 or 93, on my first trip to Mumbai, that my friends took me from the airport straight to Matheran. Now I can remember it all, our stay at a MTDC bungalow, the humidity, the hike into town, hiking in the rain and fog, horse riding, echo point, the little toy train, it's steep twisty route and all those vendors who hopped on and off it.

The last thing I remember is my friend spilling out his life story to this guy in the train, to only find out later that he was deaf!

Neel · 2 years ago

Just one question, Your wife read this blog ?

Meenu · 2 years ago

Is your wife OK with you referring to her only as the 'missus'?? It sound a bit...cheesy and outdated.

nasia · 2 years ago

Hey doesnt yr wife read ur blogs!!! Is she cool with all this? My brother asked me to take off a very harmless blog i wrote about him. Very funny. Should thank Arpz for leading me to this one.

PSR Chaitanya · 2 years ago

My oh My!! Wasn't i missing something. Missed 5 posts in a row. Anyways, it's fun to be back and thank you for the
reminder on your old blog. My homepage now changes too.

Tanushree · 2 years ago

Updated my links. Will now get your blog updates via feeds on Orkut. :P

Tanushree · 2 years ago

Although I miss blogspot. It is one of my products after all.:(

Bhai · 2 years ago

An absolute treat reading what Sidin writes.. way to go dude! must thank a female friend of mine for introducing me to your blog / site... btw, condolences and regards to the missus... i am sure an equal number of male hearts were rent asunder when the pretty (plastic?) ms rai got hitched to the unshaven boor (hope, your missus understands that not all genders share her particular choice of hormones...)

shub · 2 years ago

"Now when a guy is tall, well-built, great-looking, immensely talented and, not to forget, fabulously wealthy, you would expect his wife not to care two hoots about some bollywood nutcase." Brillaint! :D
and the "Let’s take a quick single Sourav!”. totally cracked me up! :)

Raghu · 2 years ago

Your posts should be labeled "not safe at work!"..or perhaps, a more apt label would be "injurious to objects around you!". I broke my keyboard pad and set up a long contraption of falling file racks at my office while ROFL-ing at your post. :D

“Let’s take a quick single Sourav!” - that totally blew me away.

Megha · 2 years ago

S R · 2 years ago

Abso-bloody-lutely brilliant !! I've read almost all your posts before but none & I mean NONE comes close to this one as regards the hee-hee haa-haa quotient. Man I'm literally ROTFLMAO @ this one. Mailed about a dozen friends to visit your blog. Just the right thing to read when you're having a crabby day at work already. Hats off to you & your fantabulous sense of humour. "Now when a guy is tall, well-built, great-looking, immensely talented and, not to forget, fabulously wealthy, you would expect his wife not to care two hoots about some bollywood nutcase" takes the cake :))

Keep 'em coming !!!

Bullshee · 2 years ago

I sincerely don't know what to make of your wife's crush!!You must be the most tolerant,loving,unjealous man on the planet!I would be calling for bloody murder by now!! he he.....
Matheran is a gorgeous spot. Unfortunately my last visit with college mates was erased in a blur of alcohol and other um....things.....
I loved your dust=college doping buddy anology.......I relate to that.I really do! :D

Sanjay · 2 years ago

Had left a rather silly comment on your meebo refering to a link I had added to this page. Not really technologically challenged, but am willing to accept that these things happen, especially when there are 20 people pulling one in 40 different directions . Now that I have some liesure time available am trying to rectify the faux pas.

Cheers

Hari · 2 years ago

You should have just grabbed your own bunch of tissues, sat down in front of the TV and promptly proceeded to complement the missus' sniffs.. Maybe even throw in a wail or two.. "Sniff.. I can't.. sniff.. believe that.. sniff.. Aaaiiisshhhwwaarrryyaa.. [nice full throttled wail here] . Yeh tune kya kiyaaaaaaa.. ".

This should have worked. Misdirection always does. :)

Rashi · 2 years ago

Wow hilarious post...got routed to your page through Rashmi's blog and I am hooked...keep those creative juices flowing.....your delicious humor keeps me sailing through mundane days :)

Rishi · 2 years ago

I have been a great fan of yours' since the time I read your post about the "travails of south indian men"..your humour is something I like to emulate in my blogs...without much success though...and this post is just as hilarious!..:))...keep it up!!

Arunk · 2 years ago

Funny! When I read the lines "I decided to surprise the lady. I cleaned up the dishes, did the laundry, took the garbage out, mopped the bathrooms dry", I was thinking - Come on. He is dreaming or making all of this up.

But then I saw the next line "And after those daily chores of mine ...". And I knew - Ah! Yes this is indeed a true story as this is more the norm ;)

BTW, w.r.t the referenece to Blossom Kutty in your profile. Are you by chance the author of a hilarious (but very true) article passing around the internet a couple of years ago about why Southies can't jive with the fairer folk as well as Northies?

emmanuel · 2 years ago

that was damn funny!!!! saw it 2-3 weeks back but got time to read only now..........i can't laugh loud as i'm in office now......... :)

great one!!!

Siri · 2 years ago

What a post !!! and I came across this while searching for a long lost cat !!!


“Let’s take a quick single Sourav!”


There we also saw, milling around this secluded, and sylvan locale often called the quietest and least commercial of West India’s hill stations, over four million people trying to sell us hotel rooms and horse rides.


Matheran, in the local language, stands for “Place in the hills with the red dust that penetrates into every possible orifice on your person.


sort of dust that suddenly appears from behind your ears like an old doping friend from engineering college


I don’t know exactly how many shoes she has but I have seen her using excel sheet in the mornings to pick a pair.

We woke up bright and fresh, just after sunrise in Johanessburg


I laughed like anything,that too in my office !! The above gems can earn you big money !!! Thought abt writing for comedy tele serials ??

Contact me ..

Archana · 1 year ago

New places as in new places in the POST not on my person! :D Jeez, post lunch life is so drab! You must blog about how you manage to keep awake in those times! Really, a bit of social welfare would be welcome!
