I know what Antz did last weekend!!!

Date: 28th of July
Venue: Undisclosed location, somewhere south Coimbatore.

It was 6:30 in the evening, I lay leisurely staring at the whitewashed ceiling above me. Sitting on top of this chair-cum-recliner, I had this very relaxed feeling, with superior seating, ample legroom, and seats reclining at will. No, I am not talking about the first class cabins that Jumbo Jets offer, I was sitting in a dentist's chair. I had never been to the dentist my entire life, so I had this eerie feeling of something worse going to happen. The drilling and hammering that I read in some book made me even more nervous, but I had no choice, for this lower wisdom tooth of mine was troubling me for quite some time.

In came the dentist, and this is what he shot at me, "Losing a part of your tooth is like losing a part of your body." The light source used to examine my teeth (my mouth by now real-wide open, even the hippopotamus would faint seeing this) had the power of illuminating the whole of a cricket stadium.

Negligence and incompetent personal care had forced me to gift my precious, but already decayed wisdom tooth. (Any takers??? hehhe) After a couple of shots of anesthesia around the target to be destroyed, the doc asked me to relax for a while. The doc was busy attending some other patient, while I was lying down at the operating room, waiting for the numbness to take effect. Still tensed as I had heard friends saying that there had been instances where this whole affair could sound too painful, and just the fear with the dentist work on me like a tree surgeon wielding an axe and me walking out bloody and battered chilled my spines......

I could feel the numbness slowly crawling down from beneath my gums. 15 minutes later, the doc chipped in with an assistant of his. He asked what my name was, and I retorted back, "Aaaaaanfofy Waaaraaafi." Grinning at me, aware that the drug has taken its desired effect, he started off with his task. I just closed my eyes, for I just did not want to watch this dentist hammering and striking repeatedly on my wisdom-less tooth. Well...... I was wrong, the whole thing just went so smoothly that I barely knew this gigantic tooth being pulled out. Fangs to the dentist...... ahem.. thanks to the dentist.. The assistant proudly brandishing the tooth in the pliers, I was in for a shock for what lay in between those pliers was one hell of a gigantic wisdom tooth that would bring even the frozen mammoths back to life.

Stuffed in with tons of cotton inside my already swollen mouth, staring at the mirror, I could sense an air of optimism and confidence, the likes of that after a 15-round bout for the World Heavyweight Title pitted against the great, Cassius Clay himself.....

Two days of bed rest was the advice from the doc for the stitches to get healed, so there was little or no chance that I was able to catch up with my friends this time at Coimbatore. Waaaaaaaaaaah

The Flying Sniper

It happened yesterday, and it happened today, too. In 25 years of my life, I have seen millions of crows around showcasing their flying skills, scavenging and stealing, caw-cawing enough to awaken the whole neighborhood, but never anointed with crow droppings right on my head. I guess I was wrong in my assumption.

It all happened yesterday morning, after a sumptuous breakfast, walking outside, watching the blue sky and feeling the morning breeze, just when I was about to cross the busy road, I felt this so-called something (shit or crow droppings...whatever you call it) land on my shoulder. Clearly annoyed by this new tattoo on my favorite shirt, looking up to catch hold of the culprit, I saw this naughty darn crow perched atop a 30-foot lamp-post, flaunting a mischievous smile, turning its rear end at me asking,"You want more?" Helpless is the only word that I can add here. Nevertheless, I crossed the road thinking there's always a first time for anything.

Worse...... ditto today, this time sparing my shoulder, it was my head that was the target for this nasty little sniper crow.... Same time, same place, was not sure if it was the same old menacing crow. Still in disbelief about the whole affair, I then realized that this lamppost was fixed on the pavement right next to the zebra-crossing. A surge of joy ran through my body for a second, well aware of the fact that I am not the only victim being sniped by this little barbarian, there could be possibly many unlucky victims around, just like me. Anyways, there's no way that I am going to allow this thug to score a hat trick on me..... Pray for tomorrow. You never know, there's always a third time for anything... Hmphhh!!!

Creativity.. on the ceiling!!

Massive Living Structures

A car passing through this massive tree-hole

The Giant Sequoia trees are the largest living things on earth, because they are among the tallest and are the biggest in width. The Coastal Redwoods of California are taller than the Giant Sequoias. However, the sequoia trees have much larger trunks and branches in width.

Here are some of the facts about it:

• Fastest growing trees in the world.
• Biggest in width.
• Bark as much as 4 feet thick, 50 feet long, branches 100 feet off the ground.
• The trees have survived for 2,000 or 3,000 years some even longer.
• Some of the largest trees measure 35 feet in basel diameter and up to 300 feet in height.
• The tallest standing giant sequoia is 311 feet tall and the tallest redwood is 367 feet tall.
• They can grow up to 1 to 2 feet tall per year until its between 200 to 300 feet high, then like people they grow out.
• The tree grows at elevations of 6,500 feet

World's tallest man marries

The world's tallest man has married a woman who only comes up to his elbow.

The pair come from the same village in Mongolia. Bao Xishun, a 7-feet 9-inch herdsman from Inner Mongolia, met his bride earlier this year after sending advertisements for a wife around the world. But in the end he didn't have to look too far - 5ft 6in saleswoman Xia Shujian hails from his hometown of Chifeng.

Mr Bao, 56, and Ms Xia, 28, married in a civil ceremony in March. But more than 2,000 people turned out for the ceremonial nuptials, including relatives, locals and a large crowd of journalists.
Mr Bao was confirmed last year by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's tallest person. Xinhua said his growth was normal until age 16, when a growth spurt shot him up to his current height within seven years.

He was in the news in December after he used his long arms to save two dolphins by pulling plastic out of their stomachs.

Call of Duty - The Peak

Ahoy...... the game has just begun. Saddle your horses, strap your boots on, we're in for a ride and keep yourself locked and loaded... the peak has just begun. I can feel the heat all the way down to my toes out here at Kodambakkam right now while typing this... the only difference, for the first time, I am not in the FRMiaan Army to battle out the peak season. And ultimately, it's always we who have emerged victorious, shattering records after records, and still more to cross our path.

It's the courage to reach for near impossible goals, grit and determination and the never-say-die attitude embedded deep down within each and every warrior of the team, showcases the real definition of TEAMWORK.....

Many more flags to capture, and you are the best in it..... Keep rockin..... Happy Peak Season.... I am watching yo.......

the Pursuit of Happyness

Had ample lot of time for supper, so thought of catching up with this movie, which was lying idle for days inside this 160-GB compact hard drive neatly enclosed in this laptop of my room mate. The title, the PURSUIT of HAPPYNESS, made me pause for a while. My favorite or preferred genres of movies include sci-fi, action, thriller, animation (you know why, no comments, read on..), comedy.... but when it comes to drama with a tint of sentiment laced on to it, I usually stay away from such movies.

This flick left me speechless. No words to describe how incredible and beautifully put in picture the way life can treat you when you are down. Hands down one of the best movies of 2006. Right from the opening scene till the end, this picture will make you think..... Guess most of them might have watched it last Friday at our very own Galleria at FRM. For those of you who missed it, download it from some torrent (strictly at yo home of course...hehehe) or borrow it from your friends... Don't miss it out...

No intention of humiliating this chap, at times, my answers have been worser than this... hehehe.. funny answers.. check it out..

The modern wonders of the world has been announced in Lisbon on 07-07-07.


One of them is The ruins of Chichen Itza in Mexico.



Brazil's Statue of Christ the Redeemer, which gazes down over Rio de Janeiro, is one of three winners from Latin America.

The Colosseum in Rome, where gladiators once fought and chariots raced, is the only European building to make the list. Stonehenge, the Acropolis and The Kremlin all lost out.

The Great Wall of China was a popular winner. The list was chosen after people were invited to choose their favourites via the internet or via text messages.

Peru's Machu Picchu, 2,430m (8,000ft) up a mountain slope, is the remains of an Inca city. The competition was the brainchild of a Swiss man, Bernard Weber.

Jordan's Petra - the famed Rose City - also made the list. The Khazneh, or Treasury, featured prominently in the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

India's Taj Mahal, a tomb built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his favourite wife, is one of the most well-known of the chosen sites. Organisers say 100m people cast their vote.

That's Life!!!

If you think you are unhappy, look at them
if you think your job is tough, how about him?
if you think your salary is low, how about her?

If you think you don't have many friends, ask yourself if you have one sincere friend...
you think study is a burden, how about her?

when you feel like giving up, think of this man

if you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does?

if you complaint about your transport system, how about them?

Was watching a movie the other day, titled Rocky Balboa. Some real cool punch dialogs in the movie about life, beautifully outlined. Thought of sharing with ya fellas...

Never give up. And never stop believing. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!
