Joey!! :-))

Have been seeing quite a bit of F.R.I.E.N.D.S lately and was thinking recently I should chronicle all those funniest dialogues of Joey Tribbiani ('how u doin?!') that come to my mind in the most unexpected locations (in my office while I'm on a call - thank god im on mute, in the pantry when I'm sipping coffee with a teammate, standing in the queue for lunch brr!)

So, if you are a FRIENDS fan then sit back and recollect these dialogues and laugh!

===================
Chandler: Yea so the doc gave something that Joey should wear in his mouth and his snoring has disappeared!
Everyone: Wow!

Just then Joey comes in wearing this blue band that's covering his teeth so Rachel says 'you are not supposed to wear it even now' so Joey says 'I know!! It tastes good!!!'

Then that night when Chandler's girlfriend is scaring the shit out of him (Cant recollect who!), Joey appears (with his blue band and all that..) and goes 'Juje I am wrying wo weep here!!!!' howlarious..
========================
Then the scene I was mentioning to Murli,
Joey gets his sis to meet Rachel so that the sis can discuss some Fashion tips with her. He says 'Okay!I will let you two ...uh 'Fascists' have fun now!'
========================
Ross is being butchered by Emily's friends in the rugby match and Ross let's out some expletives to demonstrate he is TOUGH to which Joey points out as if he is indeed 'Red Ross!!!'
Fundoo face expressions..

Face expressions reminds me ..do you remember his face expressions when he wakes up at the beach and sees a mermaids breasts on his chest, made of sand? :))

=========================
Ross is confronting Monica (In london) about the postponement of his wedding. Chandler and Joey are around too, so chandler runs to the restroom making a pretext that he has 'to go!' Joey runs behind him saying 'wait up'

After the brother-sister leave, these 2 guys come out. Joey says 'Man! I hope Ross dint think we ran in because we were too embarassed to stand here'. Look at the incredulous look on chandler's face when he says 'I HOPE HE D-I-D!!!!' :-D What was Joey upto when he ran like that?! ha ha ..so childish.

Have to write a seperate post on my favorite chandlerisms! :)

(Have you seen the blooper for this scene when these 2 guys come out of the restroom with their pants down?)
=========================
How about Joey's dialogue 'Problem solved!!!' when Rachel says about her issue of having a crush on a lecturer 'I dint get over him, I got under him'
=========================
Ross is trying to make useless conversation with Joey when Rachel is leaving for Paris 'You see the thing I told about the thing, is not actually about the thing but .....'
After wards Joey has to NOT get it 'I dint know you thought so much about the thing!' with a smile :)

I guess thats for now ...guys put in what you can recollect..

Juggernaut

Have you heard of the word 'Juggernaut'? How do you think that word came by?

Read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggernaut

Cambridge defines the word as 'a large heavy truck' or 'a powerful unstoppable force'. So it's really 'Jagannath' they are using :-)

I thought 'nah'...that must be an exception! There cannot be too many words like that in English with an indian origin.
(A myth that I busted to myself!)

What I'm about to write is kinda similar thing, but in quite zany a way, a tad different.
Here I am going along the Merrit Parkway and the name of a Gas station says 'Ravi'. Eh - say what? I thought...Must be some freaky co-incidence. Or might be some indian who has his own gas station in Meriden!

That reminded me of the Car brand - Subaru. Is that somebody there called Subba Rao who started a car manufacturing plant in the US? and these guys twitched the poor buddy's name? ahh..never mind. Im going nuts, I thought.

Then I am going around shopping for mayonnaise. There is this rack of products of what appears to be Sauces and pastes. And all of them have one brand label - Ragu. :o) laugh at me all you want, but this is so funny. lol. Now you are saying what kinda stupid fool gets kicks out of such things. I do :-D

Then I think, 'oh shucks. its just serendipity' (Heh? why would it be serendipity bugger? just a co-incidence. Not an indian name!) While I'm thinking this, CBS is running a campaign on a Senator, who happens to be the Governor of New york. Guess what his name is? George Pataki. I told you, dont blame me. I'm like how I am...
(Imagine an ad - 'Vote for Pataki. Today!')

When finally I was ready to banish all these stupid silly jokes from my head, here comes the latest announcement. Ladies and gentlemen, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have their new baby girl...*applause* and what do you think they want to call it?
Suri Holmes.
(How would they say? 'Suri' bandaLu. ugghhh)

Ahh...never mind, you guys. Forged aboudid...
and if you thought, what is the link between all that this cuckoo wrote? I guess nothing heh...

:-D

Xbox and my tryst with gaming...

X-BOX!!!! Where have I been all this time???? :)

Yea am I like a dumbo?! Waking up to this phenomenon nowww??

Okay - calming down in 3 - 2 - 1 seconds.

There has been quite a buzz around the release of Microsoft's X-box 360 all over. It's predecessor X-Box itself has been really really popular and for that matter Sony's Playstations have ruled the roost of popularity. (Remember what Rajat said to me? 'Do you want whats popular? PS2. Do you want the one which rocks? Xbox!')

So here we are roaming around in the Trumbull Mall and we go into a gaming store filled with those geeky kids throttling the joysticks and making a buzz with their racing car games. Then I stop by this flat panel screen with some dude trying the boxing game...(and I think to myself "What 'ave we 'ere? Eh?' in Alfie/Michael Caine's british accent) I possibly cant describe to you in a blog, how much I was blown away by the most realistic looking Gaming graphics I've seen so far. Really rocks....Might turn out me boss 'ere'll be bleeding lookin' out for me while I'm playing off me xbox games there at me 'ouse (Alright me gonna stop that accent. Expect a review on Alfie soon lol)

Then I checked out the prices and I find I might get a second hand Xbox for as low as USD 120!!! (X-box 360 is a good 400 bucks...beg ur pardon!?) I'm thinking ill take this second hand as a trial version...

My bro Murli (murally!) says 'Aren't you far away from your gaming days?'

Woh din yaad karooo.... :-)

Engineering semesters...study holidays...well come on now, we've got a month there! No harm trying to get Caleb ahead in his trysts to defeat the blood thirsty monsters and reach the ultimate enemy Tchernobog ("Show yourself!!!") :-) What fun..
I LIVE AGAINNNNNN!!!! proclaimed Caleb everytime I dragged him out of his grave!
Well lookie its just a week now...fikar not! Caleb ko aage baDhaoo..blast the head off these zombies. Poke that monster spider there...

Sigh..gone are those days indeed,and gone are the Computer-games days too I guess! My friends would tick me off by saying 'If madhu doesnt get placed, he can teach blood cheat codes in the PESIT lab' ;-)

Well..... maybe X-box calls for a rejuvenation!

Now's the time you hit the comment button and leave me your 2 (make that 20) cents about gaming and X-box! Hurry eh?! ;-)

Dr.Raj - article on German wikipedia

Dr.Raj passed away during the week that went by. He was 77. May his soul rest in peace.

(I would not have known, probably for a day or two, if not for Gireesha from JFWTC pinging me on sametime and letting me know! If my daily allowance here gets bumped up, maybe I'll subscribe for NDTV)

What followed was news of damage to public property, loss of life and widespread agitations in Bangalore. Needless to say that they were mindless and un-necessary incidents. The icon did not deserve such an exit from the world, as echoed by youngsters on today's public debate on NDTV with Srinivasan Jain (happened to watch it at Raaji's home). I think the Rajkumar fans' association leader Sa.Ra Govindu was behaving quite unbelievably by throwing the blame around, while we would think it was the fans who were responsible.

Anyway, I hope, being away though, that better sense prevails over 'my' city Bangalore and its dwellers.
Folks in blr, share with me your experiences that day...

Here, for you all to take a look: Dr.Raj's mention on the German Wikipedia.

Well I would think you can make out, not the exact textual meaning, but the context in the least. (Unless you've been taking german classes w/o telling me! heehe >:) )

Orkut Ilayaraja group post

Here is what I posted on the orkut IR group.
IR is nothing less than a god to me in music....there can almost be no 'bad' song which was created by IR. I've grown up listening to his songs (among many other pieces of indian music)

This orkut group keeps talking only of his tamil and sometimes telugu songs. So I'm taking the task of educating these folks about IR's kannada songs.
If you want to add more, please do so and let's build a database of IR kannada songs.
By the time you read I might have added 'Janma janmada anubandha' too to the list. Idea is to profile all the songs he has composed in kannada..

Movie Review: Cadillac Man (English)

Somewhere in my life I want to reach a spot when people read my movie reviews and say 'Alright! I want to see this movie because madhu says so'

Well...far chance that will be soon. But I would think one way to start is to have a movie review section on my blog. and im gonna do just that. (For some hi-fi stuff on this, check out 'Movie review' by James Berardinelli. Well alright, he is cynical most times, but good reviews!)

Yesterday I saw this movie called Cadillac Man..will begin with that. I'll prop the imdb link (for you to see some details) and then write my review...sometimes if im too bored, ill just leave a few lines to start the thread.

Movie: Cadillac Man
Starring: Robin Williams, Tim Robbins and others.
IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099204/


Cadillac Man would be one of the movies I would recommend highly, out of the movies I've seen of Williams, to show the actor's comic talents. The others would be 'Good morning Vietnam' and 'Mrs. Doubtfire'. (Of course to get a more rounded idea of this man's talents, also watch Good Will Hunting, Awakenings and Insomnia!!! Maybe also watch his very very crude and vulgar live broadway stand-up comedy show :-D )

Anyway in the 1989 comedy flick Cadillac man, Robin Williams stands out in his role as the Car salesman for Turgeon car sales. He is impeccable in his comic sense of talent at umpteen places.

The movie starts off with him trying to selling a car at a funeral parade (LOL) and getting called the 'Scum of the earth'. Later we get to know his job is in danger if he doesn't sell a dozen cars in a DAY (!) and that he is divorced with a kid out of that wedlock (who is missing now!) and that the other girls in his life are his week-spots and are ripping him apart.

With all these problems on a Sunday, when he is sure things could not get worse, see what happens! :-)

Result is a mediocre fare I agree. Many times the plot is so bizarre that it makes you snicker and laugh at the same time. But watch it for Williams, his one-liners can happen when he is asleep.

By the end of the movie you feel this was a 97 min gab-gab show by the actor, but hey wait Tim Robbins too steals the show as the pathetic 'terrorist' he he ...what an insult to that word in those quotes.

So go watch it...good to pass time on a weekend.. This movie confirms to me that Williams is one of the most terrific comedians around, comparable to Steve Martin, Bill Cosby and others...and makes me go and grab more of his movies!

Come on - Stick it to her!

Pharyngula anybody?

How do you NOT laugh out aloud crazy (and muffled) when you are sitting in the corporate head office of the world's most admired company and your boss is a big shot in the organization sitting in an office right next to you? :-))

And also read the articles on the right hand side panel...there seem to be some zany article titles..ivent read them yet, but look absurdly funny 'Drunk Driver Gets 27 Traffic Tickets In One Day' brr...

lemme know how u liked this junk B-)

Blogging. hmmmmmm

I am trying to get over my internal conversation that bloggers either dont have anything much to do or they want to gather unnecessary attention or whatever blah it is. So what follows from now on, i hope, will be an honest attempt at soul searching (at times) and endless typing (once I start i.e!) a.k.a blogging.By this time, you must have sort of realised i have a penchant for long sentences, and I promise i'll try to keep sentences short.

Mai to hoo pagal ye kahoo har pal...kar koi hulchul...

well thats not abt me ...i have a habit of singing along with whats on my stereo ...and thats what im doing ...except im also typing out the song.

Place: My apartment in Trumbull, CT where I moved in 3 weeks back.
Time: Awesome time...I just finished cooking some curry and bisi bele bhaath and now relaxing next to my smoke filled kitchen(ette?):-) its 9pm on a boring sunday which was saved by some jubilation just now, on account of some successful culinary experiments.

Well lets write some more about me...I am Madhu. Male 27 yrs...I work in a prominent MNC as a IM leadership trainee...well what that means is ...never mind it'll get boring once i start getting into my job details...(or is it that i find talking abt my job boring? hmm need to think why I felt like that)see folks ...so this can get pretty regular - i ll keep writing my mind out ONCE I START i.e, and keep writing on ...only backtracking when there are typos..

What else about me? well ...ya even I wonder many times...like yesterday when I was seeing 'It's a wonderful life' the most famous movie made by Frank capra and staring James stewart. I started wonderng after that movie, If I were not born at all, would that have been a big deal in ANYBODY's life? hmm??

:-) ya a capsule of my thoughts there.. I would think Im a fairly non-complicated guy(note to myself: dint use uncomplicated. Why? ah heck) My guy friends think im this bhola bhala (being very honest) and my friends-who-are-girls (wording that carefully (bracket within bracket: are these brackets getting on your nerves? lemme know)) so where was i ..ya the girls think im a sweet innocent fellow...hell enough with praising myself.(well it might also seem i made myself to appear a loser! well aint everyone a loser /winner at times)

Jalte hai jiske liyee...teri ankho ke diyee...

I love singing..(yes - ive trained myself. thats to answer those who asked) thank god my apartment guys agreed to my request and put a stereo in here...

So... in the past if I look at my life I would think...'huff there's a life thats gone allright..nothing too bad nothing outstandingly good' Okay at this juncture when it looks like I'm selling you my life, ill take a break...this was to break the ice.

I love movies these days. I caught like some 6 movies over the past 3 days...ya sounds pretty bad.Will write about them or other movies in my next post. (Whenever that is...thats the only prob)write in your comments to P.O Box ....uggh i mean..in my comment box (ya im a real duffer in blogging ..getting used to it)

chao
