And the spirit of the Joker and the Thief lives on.

Wolfmother , the epitome of modern rock. Kickass tunes made with simplicity.

And what Wolfmother song comes to your mind apart from Joker and the Thief?
Song was first released in the album "joker and the thief" in 2006 but hit fame when it was played as a TRAK in Ea Games NFS:Carbon.
My point is.....

ITS AWESOME!!!

And as I stood there on the 23rd of July for my college fest with my band , it seemed rather ridiculous to think that we could pull off something even close the masterpiece. One of the greatest songs of the 21st century and which will obviously end up becoming one of the all time classics....

But guess what , we pulled it off! And it even fetched us a third place for the contest!

I ll be honest with you here. I dont think that it was our performance that won us the prize, it was the song and we all agree on it. But it would prove to be Blood Red Sky's first award.

Hats off to Anthony Stockdale and his mates for producing one of the MOST loved, MOST played and one of the best tunes ever!

Wolfmother , we salute you.
And the spirit of the Joker and the Thief lives on...




One down...... A life time to go - Part 2 (Attack of mushiness)

Hmm....
Funny, that a years over and yet no one really knows the story of our relationship. Guess we have ourselves to blame cause publicity is one thing me and Megz cant handle!. But still I shall go ahead and tell you this story (at the risk of my girlfriend dumping me for infringement of relationship copyright) because i guess you guys have earned a right to know..... so here goes :)

btw , pardon the little details like time and all that ....i'm growing old and so is my memory!

30th March 2009 , Monday...

....... Guess that's where the story started, at least for me. My birthday! I remember it for so many reasons... Some moments priceless , others insignificant... but i remember nonetheless. From the chocolate cake with messed up frosting and annoying candles to the innumerable helpings of lasagne that I had and million packets of ketchup that Dikko gobbled, and who can forget that "horror" movie we watched... Oh and I totally forgot the Karting where I rocked the show :)

But there were two things that remind me about the day the most.
The fact that it actually happened , that my friends actually did something like that! (for which i can never thank them enough) and because it happened to be the day that probably started off something between me and megz.

And then the holidays came , and what seemed to be filled with boredom and anxiety about board exams for everyone , seemed to pass rather quickly for me. It was probably because I was sending upto 250-300 messages everyday from 6 in the morning to late at night till 12 or even 1 sometimes. Or if i wasn't doing that I'd be chatting on facebook or having some stupid argument over the phone. Strangely all this seemed to revolve around one person. Accidental perhaps?

And then May came and went with the hustle and bustle of "OMFG! our board marks are here" and the uncertainty whether our friends would be in the same school or colleges. But my everyday routine continued. The same person , the same routine...... and i liked it! :)

But everything changed once college started. It was just me and Megz in Christ. Out of 2600 people , we knew only each other relatively well. Guess we were lucky that we ended up in the same college and the same class (even on the same bench :P ) , which drew a certain amount of attention to us and since we were pretty close , it was hardly surprising that people started teasing us :D.

Lol,

And Divya Joseph , cornering me and making swear that I'd ask Meghana out by the end of the year sort of sums up what people thought about us.
But this was in July.....

For when August came , it was different again. We treated each other differently. Mushy messages to wake us up and mushy messages to put us to sleep with occasional "friendly" i love you's , it was almost like the relationship was dying to begin and it did.....

August 17th 2009 , Monday.....

"Good Morning" seemed so plain that morning... We shared our mushiness again and then we mutually seemed to agree that we couldn't be "just good friends" anymore.... and that was when the concept of "us" started :)

And I know you ll be wondering on who popped the question , well the answer was there wasn't much of a question really... it was an understanding that we had developed a few days back but it only became "official" on that day when Megz asked if we could be just friends anymore...

Sure there are a lot of untold stories in between but that remains with us ... its top secret :)

Somehow I haven't been able to show my gratitude to her (which means how much i love her) in one year but hey , there's still a lifetime to go and there are still lots of stories to be told :)






















One down...... A life time to go - Part 1

*sigh* Well we' ve crossed the first hurdle. Surely, we can cross the rest!

As I look back at the year, the year which started from the 17th of August for us , it is hard to believe that we made it. I gotta say that it wasn't the easiest thing we ve done but our achievement is commendable i guess! :)

BAH!!

Who am i kidding?! It was a piece of cake! Quite literally!
As I write this down , I'd like to make a special mention of a certain Cuddlepook who made it a piece of cake. :) AND i ll tell you why...

Let me explain!

1. She's round like a cake!(and i'm talking only about the face here :\ ) :)
2 . She's sweet like a cake! {AMAZINGLY SWEET! so no sharing X) }
3. She's super awesome and white like a cake! :D
4. Did i mention that she can get Cheesy like a cake? ;)
5. Umm... well you get the idea :) I like cakes! :D

Ah Moopsie Cuddlepook , what would the world be without you!
Its strange that I never thought I'd actually end up in a relationship (with likes of a certain Spadika Jayraj branding me as "not boyfriend-material", to whom I'd like to say IN YOUR FACE SUCKER!!! :P ) but then I apparently bumped into you so, yea my thoughts took a detour for the better and here we are looking back at that one year(which was unforgettable) and thinking "Boy am I glad that happened?"

Sure its only a year but hell with it , its still an achievement! And I'm so proud of it!! *Teary-eyed smile*
