celebrating the new year

how people celebrate the new year

1. a bunch of people, shouting , hooting, merrying away at the music

2. another bunch of people having fun bursting all the new year balloons.

3. one of my friend, at a restaurant on new year nite: hey after 30 the brain starts to degrade. and I will loose all my intelligence.
I doubt if the difference will be noticeable :-)

4. Spending the last month of 2006 making the resolutions and then the whole new year breaking them. Aren't promises made to be broken

Happy new year everyone.
yes yes, it is bit late, but I am still celebrating and I expect my celebrations to last till next year :P

MBA

I recently got an invitation to attend a seminar for entrance to evening MBA ( read part-time) from a very leading university in California. The audience were given opportunity to ask question to a few current students.


Audience question : Why did you choose to do MBA ?

student1: Well it is a sad story *sob*
my girlfriend left me , so I had to take a major decision on what I should do with my free time
I could go out looking for a new girl
or I could go on long trips
or I could do a part-time MBA.
so I choose the one, that would not leave me bankrupt


student2: I married a girl, who gave me too much attention ( u know like nagging)
so I wanted to stay out of house till late. What better excuse than studies

student3(a mrs) : I love my hubby and trust him completely.
But you know, one should always be doubly-sure.
so when he told me that he was joining MBA classes,
and these classes have so many single girls, I felt the urge to join too, u know so I could look out for him in the classes.
( student2 gave out a *sigh*)


Audience question2: I am trying to be an entrepreneur. So do you think this MBA program is useful for me.

Before anybody could answer, the head of the MBA institute intervened.
Head guy: Can we take this offline. I would like to get your contact info.
( I need to get out of this Crazy useless university. So will you employ me in your new company. Plsss.....)

hillarious standup

Standup comedy is supposed to be fun,
but most times its just vulgarity used to cover up a bad act and usually its end up being just vulgarity and nothing else.
I miss Indian comedy, honestly the American comedy cannot come anywhere even remotely close to it.
Of course there are few exceptions, like Russel Peters.
Russel's skills are his ability to imitate and his facial expressions are absolute hilarious
He is coming for a show in Bay area, but unfortunately all tickets are sold out :(


Check out some of his show clips


a longer one


any suggestions on other good standup comedians ?

Thanksgiving - my turkey ready for dinner

Happy holidays to everyone for thanksgiving.
My turkey is definitely ready to eat :-)

Essential trip accessory

Am on a 9 day road trip and I forgot the most important trip accessory.
When going with two guys on a trip, one should be prepared.
I wasn't and so am sitting wide awake late @night, having to hear 2 blowing horns in the room.

The most important trip accessory is ear plugs.
Or you too would end having to sit awake and hear snores.

I have to say its sometimes interesting, suddenly one whistle blows from one side and a train moving noise comes from the other :-)
