It's a SONY

Although I have been an avid supporter of SONY, I had decided not to buy another cell which is a sony ericcson. One word is the reason : Joystick. This is probably THE worst thing that sony could've done to their cell phones and I thought they would neva learn! Have had a J200, K610i, K700i till date. But my love was still the J200i(not sure about the model number though :D) just because it had a non rectangular shape, and keys were simple, battery back up was good and reception was purrfect. With the k7001, it was love at first ad. Bought it the day it was launched in india. Cost me a big hole in my pocket but I was a kid who was elated beyond any boundary of imagination! :"> Then after six months, the jog dial started acting up and till date I haven't found a perfect replacement for it. Anyway, so as my friend wanted a second fone, I had to get a new one as the k700i made it almost impossible to scroll. So I went to the nearest local dealer and looked around. Liked the L600, L700 but the fact that I wanted FM didn't favour the Motorola series. My budget was 3k. I didn't want to spend lavishly on some new gadget and blow up my li'l saved savings. So there was this new motorola basic model with FM with the price tag as 3k. It looked good enough but the listening volume wasn't good enough for me. With music blaring at full volume most of the times on my headphones, what do ya expect! Thus the shopping was a dud. Then my friends came by as we had planned for an hour or more of snooker before I had to leave for work. Boda said 'CC payment, buy what model you like dude'. I was tempted........oh boy was I tempted like hell. For the heck of it, went through the N series of Nokia models. Then decided 'no way, not another big budget fone fer moi!'. So then I saw some other models. Half n hour passed. NO NEW GADGET, DON"T BLOW YOUR MONEY etc..thoughts went outta the window flying away and ended up with :

S's sister's marriage

While listening to my playlist of songs, here I blabber bout the marriage of S's sis........

Here's a good piccy of S btw............HARHARHAR





First day was li'l work n lots of loafin around the marriage hall. Nothin much at all to blabber bout.
Second day was the actual day the marriage takes place. There's one pic where the sis is cryin her lungs out coz of all the emotions involved and her bro is laughing out big time thinking 'what et eez! girls!'. lol! That's a really funny pic. I just got tired of taking pics of the groom n bride. Almost everytime I click, one of 'em is lookin busy, talkin to ppl around, listening to the other etc. Just close to MI IV I tell ya! One pic was good enough for a frame. My knees actually started hurting as I ended up taking at least a couple of hundred pics within a span of three to four hours! That's not easy with all the angles u gotta lean, bend etc...no pun intended here. :D Yea, tis moi telling that line! ROFL!

Our gang of boyz found a room not occupied by anyone on the first floor of the marriage hall. Done.We were in. Got a new lock so that nobody can enter except our boyz. As almost everyone is obsessed with playin cards, so it started. Me not a fan of cards. So I just kept away as much as possible. Inside, we kinda came up with a 'code' for ppl knocking on the door. Coz if we let someone NOT supp to enter, it's gonna look bad with all the guys smoking (plain ciggies :D) and playin cards. The code word was gonna be the pwd for ppl to utter to enter. It was...........'Diamond Queen'. Can't recall who exactly came up with this, but it was soooper! As my cousin wasn't allowed to play (each guy 50 bucks was the bet till everyone who reaches 250 points is filtered one by one..) he was the official scorer. Boy, was he passionate bout keepin the scores or what now! He ditched ciggies n caapi coz he was afraid somebody might become the official scorer, not that there were many who werent playing..hehehe...So I had an idea. Told the videographer to capture a short vid of all the boyz playing cards, without lettin 'em know it's gonna happen. So took him to the first floor as the photo session was over and marriage was 'official' now. Told him to wait by the side of the door while I knocked.There were three cousin sisters of S standing in front of the room next to ours discussin god knows what (It actually acted as a make shift make up room, butt obv!) ...I knock. Mah cuz from inside with his phirangee accent 'Password puhleez'. Me 'Open the door dumbass, can't say the pwd now'. Cuz 'Please enter the password to login'.Me 'grrrrrrr.open up!'. Cuz 'Last chance to enter the pwd, else the system will get locked'. Me 'grrrrrrrr.......DIAMOND QUEEN! There, open!'. Door opens. Just a sec before I enter, glanced to the left. One gal outta the three was staring tryin to decipher what the hell was happening in our room. It was soooooooo embarassing! Then called the videographer n he took a vid. Then the boyz became innovative with the pwd. Mission Kashmir, Operation Diamond racket etc.. It was real fun fer sure!
Now it was night and time to hit the sack. One guy was feelin feverish. So took a walk with him to the medical shop after a heavy typical iyengari dinner. Belted big time.hehe..So this guy explains to the chemist 'Jaw pain, molar tooth pain, chin pain etc'. The guy at the counter said 'sir, I will give you two tabs. But these are ONLY temporary. Tomm morn first thing you should go to a doc. Mah friend said 'ok, will do that'. So he gives the two tabs n repeats the same line. friend says 'okkkk , will surely show to the doc tomm'. Gave him the money and when we turned away from the shop, the guy said 'what to do sir, nowadays even a mosquito bite can give you lotsa problems!'. I laughed loud and told mah friend 'dude, you have chicken guniya! ROFL!'. Thankfully it wasn't that. Come to think of it.........he still hasn't gone to the doc. :D

Last day was all bout work. Shift stuff from the marriage hall to one van which goes to the groom's place n shiftin stuff to another which was all the bride's stuff. An experience worth remembering fer sure.

Here's moi n S.
