"It's not like you haven't been here before. Anyway, this is my mental attic, where I keep my trash and once in a while trek up here. You are welcome, but try not to disturb things around. "
some how more relevant now...
dumb- 18/7/02
about a guy who would spread
his arms and butter wherever he could,
about a guy who was
"uncomfortable in his own skin",
who wanted to be on the
who's who list at least once,
who had weird hair
and cared,
who had attics in his house
and his head messed up,
wanted to trek-up his mind,
about a guy who was bruised
coz his deo can was too close.
you think you know someone, you think your friendship is for real, and then your best friend turns around, loses his virginity and doesn't tell for three days!
life sucks!
What an awesome Bday party it was! at this new hot shot dance bar, I mean disc.
and i meet these friends of hers... and this is what the conversations were like;
Character 1: Hi, so you are Sajid! Mahima has spoken a lot about you...
Yours truly: It's SHAH- ZEB!
(what was in the think-bubble over my head will not be on this blog!)
C1: so, dude..what do you do?
YT: I am pursuing my Masters in Economics from Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research.
C1: where is that?
YT: it's in Goregaon.
C1: I didn't know IGNOU had a Bombay campus!
YT: (controlling every sarcastic nerve in the system!) It is not the Bombay campus of IGNOU, it has nothing to do with it. I'll be right back. (Looking in another direction) Mahima, can I talk with you for a second!"
Then after some time and more people in the domain...
Identity 2: So what are you upto these days...
Yours truly: I am doing my Masters in Economics. (Notice a blissful deletion!)
I2: What are the options after 'an' MA Economics?
YT: Well after my 'MSc' Economics, I ll be the most well-educated McDonalds' employee! haha... (here, I was trying to be funny, so i could gel with the MBA guys!)
I2: ahan? So why didn't you take the CET, and do an MBA instead? I m sure McDonalds will recognise an MBA from Mumbai University more than an MA Economics from......(pause) ..uhmm.. your institute.
YT: ...................................................(busy shooting myself in the head)
Enter Chic-Woman. Has been funny thru the party. Nice presence. Parks herself next to me, throws her hair on the other side.
Chic-Woman: So, tell me more about IGBDR.
Yours truly: It's actually IG I DR, Indira Gandhi...oh never mind. How do you know Mahima...(and so on...)
And then as she was leaving she asked me to drop her sister (also chic!) home, whenever I left.
Chic-Sister: So what do you do?
Yours truly: I work for a call centre. Hutch.
Chic-Sister: Malad, right?
Yours truly: Yup.
