Lost, cause...

So I like flying, I was on a plane the other day and was wondering... "Do they need keys to start the plane, do they have keys for the planes as well?"

Hmmm… maybe that’s why those delays on the ground are sometimes. You sit near the gate and maybe the pilot is up there in the cockpit going, "Oh I don’t belive this, OMG! I did it again." They tell you its something mechanical coz they don’t want to come on the public announcement system, "ladies and gentlemen, we’r gonna be delayed here on the ground for a little while, I…Uh…I…Oh God, this is so embarrassing…I left the keys to the plane back in my apartment."

You see technicians running underneath the plane, you think they are servicing it, but they are actually looking for a magnet hide-a-key under the wing…"Now where was it…maybe he left it there somewhere..."

The Predicament

I was not well this week and came across this predicament I am sure you might have encountered every time someone recommends a doctor: “Oh! (The long pulled vowel) He’s the best’; ‘This guy’s the best’.

Now, they can’t all be the best, and there can’t be these many bests. There is someone graduating at the bottom of these MBBS classes (no offense to a few of my friends who I learned while completing their studies used to get A.T.K.Ts to my horror). Where are these doctors? There has to be somewhere, someone saying to his friend ‘you should see my doctor, he’s the worst’, ‘Oh yeah he’s the worst, he’s the absolute worst there is. Whatever you’ve got it’ll be worse after you see him.

And add to it there’s always that ‘Make sure that you tell him; you know (slight gesture of hand and a typical raised but frowned chin depicting what is in his mind: "nah its not a big deal for me to know a doctor that good, but you can have him"), that you know me..."

Why? What’s the difference? He’s a doctor, what is he going to do – "Oh! So you know Mr. Patel…Oooh Kay, I’ll give you the real medicine, everybody else I’m giving leftovers of Cadbury-Gems from my son’s box that his mother bought him the last time..."

The Making of a Success story...

As I've told before, I would be sharing my thoughts on this blog on the shows I watch. (yeah I'm a total TV Buff) so here’s a anecdote I found really interesting on one of the episodes of one of the shows that I usually enjoy watching all the time and am hooked on - My Wife and Kids. Its an old show (2001-05) but I can guaran-damn-tee it's got to make anyone laugh.

Some of the greatest success stories in the history of the world has took place because some guy, who was trying to impress a woman. Look at Henry Ford; he invented the automobile so he could pick up chicks. So here’s everybody riding around on a stinking horse, he pulls up in a brand new shiny automobile, beep-beep: “Hey baby, you want a ride? I’ll get you there in half the time and you won’t have to smell horse butt all the way.” – Michael Richard Kyle Sr.

I feel it's a great insight on how men feel and think even way back in the day as well to... well, even now - talk about the Fast and the Furious to their latest edition Fast Five or closer home Dhoom 3. What are your thoughts on that one?

The Bucket list - for blogging

Let’s get going ladies and gentlemen

For starters I’d really like to share a list of topics (not really in the order) that I was upbeat to babble about but please don’t ask me about what I do and from where I got this list… you’ll discover that sooner or later.

Why the name - 'sporadic listener'

Gender bias

The TV series I liked

The movies that made me think just two words - 'damn' & 'wtf'

Famous dialogues

Gastronomic adventures
My genre of music

Academics (yawn)

Life and its many aspects that amuse me

Games

My learning from various books that I’ve read (really)

Melodrama (a part of me)

Slang (those I used and hopefully you won’t)

Villain or the ‘bad guy’

Miscellaneous (includes many more mad topics that are not coming right now in my head)

So for now keep yourself updated as madness is about to commence as I am going to unleash my mind onto the forthcoming posts.

Hello_WWW

Here we go…after a lot of coaxing and cajoling from my fellow mates, friends and colleagues I have finally started penning, no typing down my mind onto the infinite worldly wise web. See this is why it took so long for me to make up my mind into making it to the net. I know you’d be busy browsing through the pages while logged onto your FB, Twitter a/cs. I would share my experiences and opinions; I sometimes am of two minds when thinking sometimes well most of the time, so there might be posts in which I may contradict myself. Crazy, I know or are we alike? Even you think over a thought that you’ve just said to someone. There would be times I may drift from topics and there would be times I may come straight to the point. I’ll try and share the entertaining parts as it would serve your purpose – most of the time and I hope I could be of some use and maybe you’d know yet another person. For me it’d be a great way to know what I really think…
