A tryst with Kat

Of late, Katrina Kaif is one actress I love to watch, and so, she happily agreed to meet me in my dream.

The dream didn't have much content. The setting is of some restaurant I think. I am a journalist, ready to meet Kat for an interview. I am sitting on a chair and then I see her coming towards me. She's dressed in a red top and blue jeans, looking amazing as usual. She sits on the chair opposite mine. I then notice that for some strange reason she is wearing orange contact lenses. Weird.

I sit there staring at her. That's it.

Ambilight

I am at my friend PK's house in Singapore ( How he managed to get a house there is a mystery. Al l that I know is that he did an intern there) and we are sitting in the hall (all of its walls are painted white) watching TV. On the wall against which is the sofa we are sitting on, is a huge glass screen that has a wire going from it to a box on the left wall. We do some tp and then he shows me whats in that box.

The box is a controller for the glass screen. He clicks some buttons on the panel inside the box and the glass screen changes color and with it the ambient light in the room since its placed infront of the twin tubelights on the wall . It was transparent earlier. I then understand wot that contraption does. One can change the lighting in the room with just a few button presses that have some presets defined.

I go ahead and play with the controls. Interestingly there's a small mirror too on the panel. Then something strikes me and I pull out my cellphone. (In real life, a few days ago, I had installed an app on the phone that makes the screen go crazy with all kinds of colors flashing... basically the phone becomes a flashlight with presets of color patterns.) I start the app and flash my phone at the mirror.

Now's the best and the last part. The room's lighting syncs with the patterns on the phone's screen. It looks amazing. I play with it for some time and then...

From Sun-n-Sand to Imambara

This one is pretty brief.. I don't remember the details.

It's supposedly a gr8 day in my life. I decide to propose to the girl I love. We go to Sun-n-Sand here in Pune, have our lunch. I propose, she accepts ! Wow..

We come out of the restaurant, give each other a smile and then I give her a big hug. Eyes blink and.....

I am standing in the middle of the road and its NOT EVEN PUNE.. its Lucknow.. the Imambara's dome shines in the distance. My bag with a gud amt of cash, the ring I gave her and most importantly the girl.. all go missing..

Weird.

P.S. : I don't even remember her face :(

Back With a Bang !

The stories start again! This one, though is not an adventurous tale. It's about something that I wanted to be done and it got done :D

The Maharashtra electricity board has a nice website where one can pay bills directly by credit card etc. We (Neo and me) used that option way back on 30th Nov of last year but as we all know, govt. matters take their time. And it did take more than a month !

Till the 31st of Dec the site showed that we hadn't paid the bill and the next bills kept on inflating. Last night, I had this dream where I saw that the payment was now showing online and that the subsequent bill had been adjusted.

So the first thing I did today morning was to check the website; and BANG! IT DID SHOW UP AS PAID !

What a start to a new year :D

The Runaway Groom

I am a village boy and the scene start with me running away from home. It's a pretty poor village with people living in lowly conditions. There have been rains for the last few days and so muddy pools can be seen all around.

I run and run and reach some other village where I hide in a corner of a abandoned house. I stand there for a few hours without food or water covered up in mud gathered over the past few hours.

The scene changes. I(I here on my bed , not that village boy) see a search party being formed from the village. They go to look in the neighbouring villages. After a few hours of desperate searching, one young lad with a danda finds me. Because he had that danda which shook off the thoughts of fighting and running away again, I had to submit.

So I am brought back to village and it is here that the story becomes clear. The time setting is somewhere in India around 50 years back when child marriages were common. I didn't want to marry and hence ran away.

Now the twist. Since I had run away ,so the girl was married off to some other fat kid and she actually turned out to be my very close friend. What a sad day! I had run away coz of the thought that the girl to be dumped on me was some ugly fat lass. DHOKHA ho gaya...

I am Hitman

This is really cool… I just got my hands on the latest Hitman game and the first night after playing a bit of it, I am already into it.

I have seen only a few levels, and the second one with a waterfall as the backdrop is the location of this adventure. I am Hitman, and I walk into a hut like structure on the cliff opposite the waterfall. Mr. Target is standing by the window, gazing at the beauty of the falling hydrogen and oxygen atoms; not having the slightest of idea as to what comes up behind him. I approach him, and as silently as ever, release his soul from the evil body by a clever use of a contraption called a fiber-wire.

Then I casually walk outside to have a look at what the deceased was looking at moments ago. And as an alibi of sorts, there comes a lady teacher with a group of blind children to have a picnic at the place. The way it is to be put is that I have accompanied her from the school to this place along with the children.

Pretty foolish actually, since Hitman is a shadowy figure and an alibi is definitely not what he needs. Nobody has proof he exists, so why this alibi thing?
