My Dear MINI... (An open letter)

An attempt to profess my undying love for the car of my dreams. Even at the cost of sounding sissy. There, I said it.



My dearest loveliest MINI,

At the onset - I love you! I love you & did I say I love you?!
Since the day I set my eyes on you - I have fallen head over heels in love with you. Yes, I love you. That was a glorious day when I started exploring www.miniusa.com while working on your SEM account. I clearly remember it. It was almost the end of my working day when I received a request from my team in US to work on your account. I thank them tonnes! Over the next few days, I got a chance to witness your full glory. From Cooper Classic to trendy JCW - you truly are a beauty from the fairy tales.

With that chassis, my oh my - who wouldn't want to own you forever? I went from a sane hard working guy to an obsessed & possessed lover. Watched you tonnes of times in The Italian Job. Watched your videos on YouTube. Consumed every page on your website.You are my wallpaper. You are my desktop. You are everything a man could ask for driving pleasure. With or without stick, you are the best!

And then, you came to India. I cried that day.

I have seen you cruising on the highway. I salivate every time I see you in the BMW parking lot at Cyber City, Gurgaon. I would have kissed you had the guard not been there. I would have, God Promise!!!

If you are reading, I want to make you mine with all my heart. I know I ain't as rich as your parents would want your true suitor to be but hey, I will keep you happy and take care of you and give you all the comforts. Will you be mine? Please?

With lots of love and kisses, yours forever,

Me.

Saraswati to Laxmi!

 Image Courtesy: http://www.thehindu.com/ Now that MBA is over and I am considered an ounce wiser, being back home means work. There are so many pending things that are just waiting in the attic to be dusted and made to work again. One of them is the mammoth task of physical share transfer and dematerialization. Though stated in one pretty sentence, it takes months of effort and work. And of course, money!  My brother has been painfully going about the motions of this work for a couple of months now and nothing much yet seems to have resulted out of it. We struck a good deal with a certain Saraswati something shares. I asked, "How much would this one fetch us?". He replied, "Enough to recover the money you spent on your MBA degree". I exclaimed, "Really! Waoh! Even after they have been dormant for like 15 years??!". He quipped, in exasperation, "Weren't they supposed to teach you all this in B-School?" I did shut up and let him do this pain...

Death by Chocolate!

"You can't finish it! No ways..." "Really, even with an empty stomach?" "Even with an empty stomach..." "And what exactly is it?" "Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate" That is how everyone I know who is currently in Bangalore talked about the ever so famous Death by Chocolate. I had to find the famous "The Corner House" and have this delicacy. I did, in Koramangala . Ordered one. Rs. 115. Wasn't it a bit too much for an Ice-cream? As it turned out, it wasn't. As I looked around and gathered all the yummy types of ice creams available on menu - in front of me landed a big plastic cup on a tray. See for yourself above. It was an eclectic mix of 2 huge scoops of vanilla ice cream, lots of brownie crumbs dipped in chocolate which was then again poured over by 4 teaspoons of steaming hot chocolate syrup [directly boiling in front of you on an electric plate]. If that wasn't enough, peanuts sprinkled and cherry ...

Were you sleeping?

How irritating is it to get a phone call when you are in that last hour of your sleep on a Saturday morning? Worse, if it turns out to be your mobile service provider wanting to confirm if you would want to upgrade your 3G plan (which in any case sucks with most providers in India!) Even worse, what if it turns out to be someone important, like your boss? Now you don't want to sound totally sleepy - do you? What would he/she be thinking of you if he were to ask, "Were you sleeping?" at 11 am in the morning? (And, this is judgmental attitude is especially true of older white haired balding bosses!) Well, here are a few tips to sound all alert & morning crispy when actually you would have killed him for ruining your sleep on a Saturday morning. They have worked well for me, hope they would for you too! - Take a deep breath, let the phone ring for a few seconds so that you get a chance to clear your head (hope you did not have much alcohol last night).
