All of us were excited in going off on a vacation.

Guess where to……..?

India – of course & to our hometown Bengaluru.( at the time we left India it was called Bangalore actually it shud have been

Bentha kaaluru.. isn't?)

We had planned  to spend good time in  Ooty, New Delhi ,  to Agra( to see the Taj again after its become one of the latest 7 wonder) and to Hyderabad….. Of course in between we’d planned a for visits to Chennai, Tirupati and a few other places depending on our time .

The xcitement was coz of our visit after almost two and half years of toil & hard work…...

Savvy - my wife & ammu – my daughter( she’s just 8.5)started the gift purchases for all their friends , sisters and S-i-l’s long before …….mmmmm …… I think from April & that was one good reason for more baggage . Any ways since we were flying “Gulf Air” the baggage is never a problem from Bahrain to India. Only on the other way it is a pain and that is another long story.

All sorts of things – MP3 players ,perfumes , watches , handbags, chocolates , books, even a rice cooker (!?) for someone who wanted only an imported one. Since  we were goin back after soooooo… looooong the excitement kept hopping over all three of us . Oh…!!!    

It was the 29^th of June 2008 & these two never stopped hooting and yelling till we reached the airport.

Our flight was at 1030 in the night and we were well in time for reporting.

During  the flight a strange incident happened which I found was very  shocking.

Maybe after an hour of a pleasant  flight, in midair,  approximately at 11.30 pm when the dinner  trays were just about being  removed …….... Bang……!!!!!?????????

…the  flight started going down. OMG………. help all of them are we all gonna die landing in water. What would happen if the water is too cold for me to swim . Which way will I start swimming……All crazy thoughts then………..

Fortunately nothing of that sort happened ……….Thanx to God…!!!!

Immediately I could sense a sort of giddiness at that moment right in the centre of my forehead & I thought all the others too had a similar feel. This was definitely not the turbulence which any aircraft often experiences during rough weather & I could sense that it was not that.

A few minutes later the captain addresses us that there was a Airbus A 380 crossing above us at 45000 ft……!!!!!!!!!!!????????  & he added that we were flying at approx 33000ft & the air pressure could have caused us to loose the flight path which resulted in the distortion….. & then as usual the sorrys & stuff. Subsequently I’m sure not many of them would have slept that night before the landing. After this however our flight was smooth and we reached b’lore. 

But ammu keeps asking me even now as to why did that happen….? L

Cheers….!!!!

Contact Heaven

Most of us have now learned to live only with telefon, Mobile fon , voice mail, internet telefony etc as a necessary part of our lives. Technology as it develops , sometimes causes us impatience ,of late in most of the instances  particularly when we are over fon trying to reach someone quickly.We need everything to be done instantaneously and get things done at one stroke which of course never happens.

With this background a little imagination of how it would be if a person  spoke to GOD over Fon.......Sometimes even wondered what it would be like if God decided to install a telefon in his office and have answering machine too installed ? ( The voice would have to be of a sweet angel) Imagine praying and hearing the following:

Thank you for calling heaven.

For Hindi press 1
For English press 2
For all other languages, press 3

Say for instance you have chosen the language – English & so you’ll opt to  press 2 , then u get these options again

Press 1 for Jesus christ

Press 2 for Allah

Press 3 for  Hindu Gods

So this person has pressed 3 for Hindu Gods & he gets these options

Press 1 for Male Gods

Press 2 for female Gods

Press 3 for Gods of other forms(Snakes, peacock, even rats in Rajasthan !!!!)

He chooses option 2 and again gets to hear these

Press 1 for requests
Press 2 for thanksgivings
Press 3 for complaints
Press 9 to speak to an angel at any time during the course of the call

This call will be recorded for quality purpose

I am sorry, all our Angels are busy helping other sinners (Paapis) right now. However, your call is important to us and we will answer it in the order it was received. The time that will be taken to attend your call will be atleast 29 minutes…???( No one knows y it is 29 minutes) Please stay on the line and enjoy these songs……..( all devotional songs being played in RAP module)

To find a loved one that has been assigned to heaven press 5, then enter his/ her CPR number and press #

(If you receive a negative response, ensure that you do not get upset and frown on the system – once u’ve started to speak to God  your calls will be recorded by angels without your knowledge – it’s likely to increase your sins!!!! So remain calm ???!!! )

For reservations to heaven, please enter  999 and leave a message .

For answers to nagging questions about dinosaurs, aliens and other planets, Weird details about  anything else please wait until you arrive in heaven for the specifics.For humansake( Not Godsake coz it’s the angels who are speaking on the voice tone & they’ll say humansake only) do not use or speak any porn as this will hamper the connectivity & the lines may go blank & u’ll be charged additional surcharge on ur sins.   

Our computers show that you have already been prayed for today, please hang up and call again tomorrow.

The heaven office is now closed for the weekend , so plz leave a message and telefon number for contact – Contact will be made only if you are a great sinner.!!!!???? ie., sins done more than the sin line( something like poverty line).

If you are calling after office hours and need emergency assistance plz keep trying atleast for  111 minutes.( No idea Y ?)

Thank you and have a heavenly abode.

Phone Hung up……………..!!!!!

 By this time u feel that its better to be in Hell than to go to heaven....isn't??

PS : There is no connectivity to Mr.Yama & it is impossible to speak to him coz as it is almost all of the human race is living in Hell – I suppose. 

Cheers

Silky....

Happiness (in different forms)

Taking a small nap on the wheel while waiting for the signal to go green(quite dangerous)

Scrapping the last few drops of icecream from the cone.

Saving the leg piece of chicken for the last bite

Making a child give you a flying kiss

Proud of having a daughter when she tops her class every year in academics.

Notice people admire your new look.

Complimenting a stranger that she looks beautiful

Totalling the serial number on any ticket & se if they form a gud number that suits you.

Fighting with God....!!!

Amazed on getting to know a very smart little child

Getting angry on the one you love… secretly praying she makes all efforts to calm you and then fall in love with her all over again for that

Having a scrap with a kid and getting “beaten up” and exclaiming… “God you are so STRONG”

Looking at yourself on the windows of every parked car and wondering whom  the “sweet lady”  is waiting for.

Test God by not studying for the exams and praying your life off that the exams be easy

Sob & get very emotional while  watching something sad on TV ( say Visuwin(!?)makkal arangam), once in a while

Drive the car at 170 kmph at the Sakhir highway

Sleep naked under the sheets

Sing a song to God

Blabber with an unknown Indian in Arabic & expect him to think all what I said was sensible

Try and keep a brave face at times when you are literally f****d up

Change your desktop screen everyday

Chat with a complete stranger on intellectual aspects

Love it when your wife calls you “Devil”( she calls me Deyyam…!!!!)

Watching you all my gud friends smile as you read this….

Cheers…!!!!

All of us know how intelligent the people from "God’s own country "are…!!!

Here are some signs and notices written in English that were discovered throughout the world.

The lessons – learnt from my teacher

My classes started in May
when my teacher was born.
Very few can make a claim
as having carried their teacher in their arms.

My first lesson was listening,
To unspoken words.
Reading body language.
Talking with the eye,
By touch, and warmth.

Then came the lesson of discovery.
She saw everything with awe

Made me feel the same for

The things that were of less interest

Earlier,and things for what they were.
Real and magical
Both rolled in one.

Soon what followed was trust.
Total trust in her “ da da”.
I learnt responsibility.
Realised the value of quality time lay in simple joys.
Not expensive toys

She taught me the power of fantasy.To dream. To create magic .To narrate stories out of nothing from thin air.
That touch. Feel. warmth.

I learnt how she listened
The food that she ate.
Always right for the season.
No to junk.
Yes to nature.

And the most important lesson.
Never to take sides.
But love unconditionally.
Even when she was hurt.

I've learnt to be spontaneous.
To say what's right.
And be quiet.
To accept love.
And be hugged unexpectedly.

I've learnt to adjust.
To be open to change

To accept my faults.
My teacher lives what she teaches.All the time.

I see things through her eyes.
Plain and simple.

My 8-year old teacher
She's taught me to live.

Oh that was my ..........

daughter...!!!

Cheers...!!!!
