Joote lo!

After the wedding, I could finally identify my true friends (those who helped steal the joote, and did NOT participate in lifting up Jatin at the time of garland-exchange) from the daga-baaz ones (who I do not wish to name :P).
What I cannot understand is why people might want to participate in hiding the joote. While there is a strong incentive for the party stealing the joote, there is no incentive for the party hiding them - apart from saving the guys money.
IMO, the incentives should be better balanced. Else my choice, in a wedding where I know both the guy and the girl, is quite obviously to help the girl in stealing the joote :)

6 months!



Of increased smiles,
and reduced phone bills,
Of losing track of time,
and gaining weight,
Of so much more,
yet so little that can be expressed...

Chappar faad ke!

Texas hold'em poker is the most addictive game I have played in the recent past. Convince yourself that it isn't a brain-dead game like the other casino games, and get hitched!

The kick is not in winning money (after all who is playing with real money here? I am just using Facebook with its daily bonus of 1000 chips :D), its about winning with a nice hand, or winning a HUGE pot on a bluff.

Though I have not been lucky enough to win the bluff-way, the nice hand finally came yesterday - 4 of a kind, aces that too! It made my day, miraculously increased my productivity at work, and has restored my faith in the benevolence of facebook's poker app :)

Driving Miss Daisy


From the name I had no clue what the movie was about, let alone what it would be like.
But it was surprisingly different, and refreshing.
The movie touches upon several serious topics - racialism, old age, friendship, mother-son relationship; and yet it makes you smile, and even laugh occasionally :)
Jessica Tandy got the 'Best Actress' Academy award for the movie, and is the oldest ever to win the same, and so deserving! Despite her irritable role in the film, she is an utter delight to watch.

Interesting pic...

... especially since the only people I see sporting ties these days are dulha's at their wedding receptions :)
