Becoming the God Of War
Heard about thoughts in the morning, decision in the afternoon and buying what you decided in the evening?? Well thats what happened when it comes to my Play Station 2. I had owned an Atari before - That was kazillion years back and all of a sudden on a saturday i was too tempted to buy a gaming console and make complete use of the Wega that i had got earlier. Now the problem was getting the cash together to buy this game station. In comes Gunfight and his Credit card BWHAHAHAHAHA. Me and Gun head out to Moosa Games and pick up 2 PS2 consoles. One for me and one for Goa Raj. I scan thru his numerous games collection and pick out some 6 games ( the usual mortal kombat , NFS and Tekken ). The owner dude tell me to try a particular Game and hands me a DVD with a faded label. That was the day i knew of God of War - II. Got back to my pad and plugged it in and started playing God Of War and I have been hooked on to the game till date.
The game was released early 2007 and is a sequel to the original GOW. It revolves around the Ghost of Sparta called Kratos and his mission to destroy Zeus. The Game play is fab and the weapons are outta this world. Athena's Blades, The Spear of Destiny, Typhoons Bane, Rage of Titans and so on. I finished the game last evening but my head is still spinning thinking of the final battles. I would say go on Youtube and search for God Of War 2 to figure out what i am talking about.
Caution - The Game is quite graphic and contains some nudity too. The Sirens who appear in the game are all full topless wonlee ( Wat a nice ). Lahkesis - One of the 3 sisters of fate keeps flashing her goodies too. Clotho - The last sister of Fate is quite gross and u seriously don't want to look at this :P~
Game On

Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi
Have ridden 3000 kms on it in a months time. Two services done to the bike, 2 long distance trips done, Have taken it on Ghats during night times. Have kept the bike on low, midrange and top-end ( to a certain extent ). So its high time to speak on what this fellow called the 220 actually is. This review is my personal opinion and will differ from what others think of the 220
Here goes :-))
Overall Mind-State = Happy that i got this bike :-)
Every rider in India thinks of two things when buying a bike. One being the price tag and the other being the Mileage. There is this third thing called performance which keeps jumping in and out. This bike bundles all three and comes out as a neat package.Comfort - I owned a Thunderbird before and yes it was damn comfy. The 220 with its clip-ons are quite comfortable but does not come close the Bird. Well different league of bikes altogather so i shouldnt be comparing. But when you think 220 alone, the bike is comfortable. Has got a slight crouching posture and brings in a slight bend on ur elbows to bring in
the sports tourer stance. I took it to Yelagiri once and once to Bangalore. I stopped every 100 kms for a short break of 5 mins. I had doubts on its touring abilities w.r.t comfort but now that is gone. All the above is for the rider alone. The pillion ( if any ) is gonna have a bitch of a time.Stability - Bike is very allergic to crosswinds and there is a visible wobble when you are on the highway but this happens on any bike that is light-weight. The rear 120 are a boon and it sticks to the ground on straights and on turns. Have ridden the bike on wet tarmac too and bike handles very well. I personally feel that the 220 does not enter or exit a corner like a Honda. Till date i have never felt confident in take this bike into a turn - ALL OUT. Correcting this will be a huge plus point and you would start seeing loads of 220s participating on track
The Power - Responds very well to throttle. The FI unit is a uper sexy addon to this bike. Bike always starts on a single crank. The Low and Midrange are the noticable parts on this bike. The bike is a well behaved beast between 4000 and 6000 rpm. I think the bike enters powerbang on the lower rpms and goes all the way. There is slight change in bike characteristics after 6000 rpm. The bike's vibration almost triples and the Exhaust note changes from the silent grunt into a growl and then goes on to become a howl :P~. I everytime wish that this bike had one more gear.There are quite a few reviews out there which explain the power delivered by this bike. They make loads of sense so am not gonna write much in this dept but yes bike is WOW when it comes to power delivery.
Braking - Super is the word. The front and reat brakes are quite good. The rear brakes are open and is quite notorious as dust often gets in. My break have been squeaking from day one. Even a lil bit of cutting oil on the discs will render the brakes useless for the next 10 or 15 kms. Remember both are disk brakes so dont brake like you would usually brake on your old bikes. While riding, I have to make sure that the leg does not rest on the brake lever. This heats up the rear disks because of constant action.
Lights - Good on straight roads and completely useless when it comes to bends. I almost shat my load taking it on ghats during the night. You just cannot see the trail when you go into a corner. High beam or Low, it just does not light up a turn. On straights the light's throw is amazing. Even the big ones dip their lights for it High Beam.
Mirrors - Bajaj seriously went wrong here. The mirrors are absolutely useless. Rear view mirrors as the name indicate are used to see whats coming from the behind. All I can see with these mirrors are me. So mirrors need a change here. The fold option on the mirrors are a good idea. Protects the faring when the impact is on the mirror.
Status till date - 2 indicator bulbs have fused out and the black grills on the faring have started to rattle. Apart from this the bike is running like a dream. The bike does not need high octane petrol so normal unleaded will do good but make sure that its not a local petrol mix cause the injector will go for a toss.
Overall - Lovely bike to buy. Good price tag. A Mileage of 40 - 43 and the feel of a small superbike :P~
Peace

500 Kms - First Service
Scarab has done 501 Kms when I walked into Probiking for the First Service. The Pulsar 220 is doing good so far. Lovely Low and Mid range speeds. Bike is not torquey as Nazgul but very much serves the purpose.
The longest i have ridden scarab is till Casuarina Bay Chai shop on ECR and come tomorrow I am taking a trip to Yelagiri on this fellow. Absolotely no problem till now except the right mirror vibrating a lil under good speeds. Bike has done 480 kms till date from the last full tank and it still has not gone into reserve and all i have been doing is riding in the city. Bet it churns out better kpl when ridden on the highway.
All in All - I would say it was a wise decision to buy the 220 FI. Things might change.. U never know :-)

Scarab is Finally Here
It all started on the 11th of August when I went over to Probiking @ Adyar to check out this new bike from Bajaj called the P220 DTSFI. Got a quote for the bike and after 10 such visits and a 3 month impatient wait, Scarab was finally delivered to me on the 5th of November 2007.
Bike looks, feels and moves like a beauty. Oh what a nice wonlee :-D

Weekends are supposed to be sober and lazy for god's sake but its never been the case here. A gulti fellow from Bangy decides to come to Chennai heat for WHAT?? "Macha I wanna sit at the beach ra and eat PUPIL BURGERS" OH MY GAWD wonlee. He comes into chennai and settles down to enjaai the weekend without sleeping the past few days.
Saturday Evening - I come into the Beach at 6.30 and run to T-Nagar with Adi to get him his return ticket to Bangy. Finally back to the beach again wonlee to find out that plans have been made for a MAD SAT NIGHT at Mahabs. I was like " Oh fluck ". I park the Jawa at To-Pay's place and jump onto Katz's bike and vroooommmmmmmmm we go off to by the Cokes and Smokes. Meanwhile Bharath and Taapick are already raiding the ECR alcohol store to pick up the Monks.
The Ride - Chennai - Mahabs. The road most travelled by most of us in the group. The fab ECR with cat eyes and all. Zippety Zip we go on the 500 till the toll gate where the first regroup happens. I call up Adi and find out that he is still at the Beach with David and Bra. DARN THAT BIATCH. After a few abooses, both the three of them start out to meet the both the 12 of us at Casurina Chai. Topik and followers take off ahead to book rooms at Mahabs and to order dinna. I wat and wait and fackin wait and still no sign of the three. HRRRMPH. The clock strikes 15 to 11 and they chug chooga chug in. Adi demands that he wants to drink a glass of milk before riding again. KWAK THOOO is all I can say. We ride and ride and ride and finally enter into Mahabs which looks bright and lovely by day and seedily shady by night.
Dinner - I run into moonrakers and jump into the food and the beer (hic). Polish off few pieces of steak and some prawns and rotis and beef. We yall slowily swagger out of Moonrakers and check into the room.
Midnight Madness - The Monk starts the chants and the coke and smoke surround the entire room. Noone is let to sleep. The sleepers are pretty much scared that they would loose their family jewels if they even try to bat an eyelid. HAH, Dont come to a chennai party and doze off :P~. There is Kuthu mijik, There is dancing and as usual there is major yapping away. All this goes on till 4 in the morning.
The Beach - The gang decides to head to the beach at this hour to chase dogs. Katz says he wants to play on the See-Saws. Bharath wants to just crash which he finally does with his bed being David. BWHAHAHAHA. After 3 or 4 ppl being dunked into the sea. We all start back to the room and what do we bring along?? - Well the entire beach wonlee. The whole room fills up with sand from the shoes. The whole gang bids farewell to get back to chennai. Me, Topik, Bharath and Condom ( no funny ideas here ) decide to stay and wake up at 11ish.
The Morning - Woozy ofcourse. We wake up at 11 and head out to have a lovely English breakfast at this fellows place. This fellow must have humped Bob Marley real bad because he look like a bad cross btwn Bob and a badly fed tamilian. We start off from Mahabs and head back home and then WHAT ??? CRAAAAAAAAAASHHHHHH into the bed wonlee :-)
Weekdays are wild, Weedends are Madness.
Peace
Dosai
PS - There will be lotsa spelling misdakes and the grammer will make Wren and Martin flip in their graves. So if yer looking for good english here then u may gracefully fluck off.

THE GREAT WEEKEND WRITEUP - BY DIPESH SHARMA
FRIDAY:
It all started on Friday night. Well, I thought it did, because Dosai and me couldn't remember what did we do or where were we on Thursday eve. It all comes back to me. Thursday was at Manu's place. Anyhow, Dosai wanted to join the Gym to enhance his 'Tai Chai' skills. Picked him and DJ from the beach, asked my maid to cook some chicken, called up Manu to join us and WhozFruityKid promised to be there by midnight (Yeah Right!). Regrouped at my place at around 8 PM. LET THERE BE ALCOHOL, we said. One case of KF, a batlee of Old Monk and a bottle of Teacher's. Manu left at 10:30 as he looked drunk from the previous night itself. Then came the major drinking concentrating on Beers. During one smoking session on the Balcony, DD and Dosai decide to show off muscles to DJ
Doasi: (Flexing his biceps) Feel this machan, this is muscle
DJ: (lightly touching bicep) Wow
DD: Feel my shoulder...this is muscle
DJ: Wow
Dosai: See my fore arm? Touch it man, its all muscle
DJ: It is awsome
DD: See this? (point to shin)
DJ: Wow, that's so solid
DD: Yeah, it's bone.
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA .....
Then a few calls to Booby, who insisted that he is in a meeting, but background noise was more like music, party, cinema hall, Dutta......
Dosai stops drinking at two, after making some serious pronunciation mistakes, spitting out words that no sane or sober person could recognize. For example: Brahamnium = Brahmin sitting in Ramniam building, I assume Ashok lickland = a Lesbian truck????
Dosai concentrated on Sharbat till Booby arrived, who immediately went for the bottle of scotch like a dog at a bitch in heat. Dosai and DJ left at 4:30 after a lot of naansense talk. Bobby and me drank till 6:30, with him ranting about how he is gonna reach home. After making three different plans, he finally left, 3/4th of a bottle of scoth in his bloodstream, when the guy who's bike he had borrowed pleaded with him a few times to come back. Calls me next morning to ask how he reached home. Fakkan guy!!!!
SATURDAY:
Too much drinking on Friday, and a pending ride on Sunday early morning, so Dosai and me swore: No drinking tonight! Dosai and me hit the gym at 4:30 while Bob, Satya and better halves were visiting temples. Straight to P-Tabby's to inspect my bike (AWESOME, wait till you guys see it). Met Ravi there and after a few calls, gathered at Bob's place. Bob, Sapna, Satya and Dolly were there. Dosai and Ravi enter with usual hi's and hellos. Sapna and Dolly pounce on Dosai, full biting and clawing. Don't want to know why. Then an extremely good looking guy enters.
Everyone: Hey DD, what's up!
After very little convincing, and some damn good pakoras, courtesy Bob's Mom, Dolly and Sapna, We are ready to drink again with a promise on only one beer, which turns to two, and a then a plan to go to my place and drink more. Damn, I'm easy!! It's raining very hard, and Dosai decides to drive my car. Bobby, Dosai, Ravi and me head off home after parting ways with Satya, Dolly and Sapna. A few mysterious phone calls on the way and we hook up with DJ and his guitarist friend, who land up at my place, full strings tightened and tuned.
The Drinking begins again with the musicians jammin', the camera recording everything. This is when we discovered (You learn something new everyday):
1. Bobby has a Peter North
2. DJ is a big fan of Peter North, as he is the facial cumshot god. After this particular discovery I have strictly asked DJ to stay away from me and never, NEVER, touch me. If anyone ever wants to explore the other side of their sexuality, please contact DJ.
3. Bobby is a big fan of Jamie Carson (he meant Jenna Jameson)
4. Dutta's jeep, per WhozKid, can ride a 300 degree incline!!!!! !!!!!
5. The definition of Teleportation is being at two places in one time. There is a picture of Ravi's teleported feet from that night.
Ffffakkan guys!!!!
Bobby insists on a "Profession" video of "college of Satyabhama" and sits down to sing to live guitars with the lyrics in front of him. He also insists that Dosai do the chorus and no one else sings. Another thing we discovered is that when drunk, Bob is blind. He messed up the lyrics even while reading them out. Somewhere in the middle he starts singing Hotel Satyabhama.
And then:
There she stood wit the candle....In the dark of the night!!!
Dosai sitting next to Bob is trying to kill himself as he no longer can bear the torture to bobby singing in his ear. All captured on Video. Fackin' Hilarious.
Now comes the best part. Ravi and Dosai, my friends, are geniuses. They did a 20 second video on Princes' My Name is Prince, with Ravi's hands behind his back, and Dosai using his hands from behind Ravi. The Video is very disturbing. Bordering on gay beastality and twisted erotisicm, I would not advice the sane of mind and faint of heart to see. Since that breed doesn't exist within the Jets, YOU HAVE TO SEE THE VIDEO! It will change your life forever! I guarantee you that.
After an hour of laughing and consequent aching neck and jaw muscles, some more drinking and jammin wonlee. Dosai leaves in my car at 3:00. Everyone else ate, finishing everything, absolutely everything to eat in my house. I had water for breakfast next morning. Now there are three bikes, four people (if Ravi can be called one after the video) and two guitars, one without a cover. One of the bikes was a single seater.
After much deliberation, I think the plan was that, Ravi would stand behind Bob on the single seater holding the guitar. Must have been a facking hilarious sight if they had done that. Everyone says good night and leaves at 4:00 WE all knew the ride is not happening at 8 AM.
SUNDAY:
Get up at 8:00 with Jai's call. Straightaway lied when he asked "Dont tell me you just woke up". Please read Jai's post about the Mahabs ride. Mellu, Dosai and me pushed off to Pondy to have beer at a beach facing bar. Great time drinking listening to rock, and clicking lot of pictures (even a French babe hailing a rickshaw). All my SMSs of a great time we were having at Pondy irritated everyone enough to meet us at Mahabs for dinner. Successfull bootlegging of 7 bottles of alchohol. A couple of Chai's and some romantic sunset pics ( a.k.a. roadside gay sex) of Raja and Dosai we reach Mahabs at 9. Almost everyone, but Bob (you suck, main jet) and Satya were there for come crabe eating and beer drinking. The evening is a haze so if anything interesting happened, some one please write. Interesting pics, but with so little blood in my alcohol stream, I don't remember much. I think Raja got his arse kicked by his mom. All in all, great great weekend. Please add to this if I have missed something.
Peace
Dosai

Ahhh what a weekend :-)
There was Aerosmith @ Bangalore, There was a gulti fella going to
Bangalore, There was the first run of Greater Bangalore Hash and then
there was this option of just staying in Chennai, slowly get deep
fried due to this bright fackin star called the SUN and ultimately run
outta energy and then caman office on monday. All these were running
inside by grey-cells less head when Bala over a smoke session told me
and Ajith that He and Naren will take the car and not bikes to
Mudumalai. BINGO, DOUBLE BINGO... The scenic views of Mudumalai slowly
started creeping inside my head and by end of Thursday I was all
exited to get started. Had a thanni session with Mamada and Gokul.
Spent the night dreaming of the forest.
Day One - Friday
Woke up early in the morning. One tea and one chettiar meeting later,
I was at Bala's place with my bike just dying outta fuellessness at
his doorstep (phew). Had a nice cuppa kaapi and started the drive at
5am sharp. Picked up Ajith @ porur and then it was CAMAN THE YELAGIRI.
3 hours flat out and we are there to meet Naren. Spent sometime at the
Adventures site and the 4 of us piled into the car with Naren taking
the wheel. Comfy drive, Comfy car and friends around. WOW wonlee i say
:-). Stopped at Dharmapuri for a veggie lunch. Passed Metur, Attani,
Andiyur and reached Satyamangalam in the evening. The roads were sexed
out after this. Started climbing dhimbum ghats via Bannari. Dhimbum is
a place on top of the Satyamangalam range. This place seperates
Tamilnadu from karnataka. You climb the ghats from TN and climb down
into KA. Could clearly see the difference in road conditions. Roads in
KA were FACAL period. Stopped at a chai shop @ Dhimbum and had some
awesome chai. I would have clearly called up cozees at this point in
time and given him a piece of my mind regarding the fucked up chai he
serves back in chennai. Moved on to Thalavadi from Dhimbum thus
entering TN again. Thalavadi was a desolate village but roads were all
tarmac and louly wonlee. Moved on to enter KA again and stopped at
Chamrajnagar to adjust car headlights. The time was around 9PM.
Reached Gudalpet around 10ish and then came the forest area. Stopped
10 kms before Bandipur for a break. The place was pitch dark and outta
nowhere came these 20,30 villagers who surrounded the car and asking
us whaddafack we were doing there. We all asked Naren to move outta
the place and Naren slowly started moving. The angry villagers started
running behind the car and started pelting stones at it. BUNCH OF
BASTARDS wonlee hrrrmph. Was stopped at the forest checkpost by the
guards. The car got checked and we were let go peacefully. 2 bends
into the forest, all of us spotted a baby elephant and Holy daddy of
God - A Huge Tusker guarding the baby. WOOOO HOOO. The trip was worth
it I say. Naren kept the car at a steady 30 kmph and all 4 of us were
trying really hard to spot any other wildlife. Saw loads and loads of
deer and finally came into Masinagudi at 11.30 PM after an awesome
lunch+beer @ Pugmark. Turned from the main road to go to Wildways. 2
bends later.. We almost ran into a Tusker who was standing in the
middle of a 90 degree bend. HOOLY SHITE WONLEE. Naren stopped the car
and slowly started reversing but didnt move outta signt of the tusker.
Sat inside and jus watched the big one cross the road and after some
10 good mins the big boy got bored of us and moved into the
wilderness. Shaken like a Vodka Martini, the 4 of us finally settled
down at Wildways for the night. Me and Naren went off to sleep and
suddenly woke up in the middle of the night to dog barks. Naren took
out the search light and went out and spotted a whole group of Wild
pigs. I missed seeing em. Ajith didnt sleep the who light because he
was lil shaken that a Panther would decide to come into his room and
share his bed BWHAHAHAHHAHAA.
Day Two - Saturday
Woke up early and showered. Steaming hot idlis and aapams were served
by Abhid's wife. After belting down the food. Me, Ajith, Bala, Naren
and Abhid took off to the trekking spot. This place was 18 kms off
Kothagiri. The trek route was called the SHOLUR TRAIL. We climbed up
Kallati ghats to reach ooty and proceeded towards kothagiri. 2 Card
ripping up Kallati ghats was a sight to see. This pirticular ghat
section is damn steep and Naren handled the bends like a pro.
Proceeded to the tea estate from where the trek was to start. Bala
packed us all Lunch and off we went towards the sholur forest. Ajith
backed out from the trek after a kilometer and returned to the car.
Bala, Me, Naren, Abhid, two guards and a forest ranger took off on the
trek. The climb was fast and tiring. It was good distance too. Some 4
kms into the trek, Bala had a bad migrane attack and we all turned
back to the start point. The climb back was fast and break-less. We
reached the start point wonlee to find the car and ajith missing. he
came back in sometime wonlee to tell us that he missed the route back
and was walking round and round the tea estate. HAHAHA. We trekked up
and down the mountains and he trekked up and down the chai estate.
Bala started fixing us sandwiches which we hungrily hogged away :-D.
Started around 3 Pm from Kothagiri and reached Ooty. I am coming back
to Ooty after a looooooong time and man this place is conjested like
crazy. Checked into YWCA and called the RTMC boys who I thought were
in Masinagudi. These buggers actually had come up to Ooty to roam
around the place. Met up with Adman, Captain G and Sam Pedrosa for a
short while. They had to get back to Masinagudi before the ghat
checkpost closed down. The 4 of us packed up and went to meet Doc who
was close to Ajith. Doc arranged for us to wine and dine at a hotel (
forgot the name of the place ). Got smashed and Naren drove us all
back to YWCA and SNOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE wonlee.
Day Three - Sunday
Started from Ooty at 9 in the morning, Stopped for some chai and
patty. Got loads of chocolated and climed down the hillto reach
metupalayam. Drove down to Satyamangalam and then reached
Vani-yumm-badi Khaja @ 4pm for Lunch. From there it was home turf.
Belted the car back to Chennai and came straight to the beach to meet
up with the boys and have some veshams :-))

Reached Gudalpet around 10ish and then came the forest area. Stopped
10 kms before Bandipur for a break. The place was pitch dark and outta
nowhere came these 20,30 villagers who surrounded the car and asking
us whaddafack we were doing there. We all asked Naren to move outta
the place and Naren slowly started moving. The angry villagers started
running behind the car and started pelting stones at it. BUNCH OF
BASTARDS wonlee hrrrmph. Was stopped at the forest checkpost by the
guards. The car got checked and we were let go peacefully. 2 bends
into the forest, all of us spotted a baby elephant and Holy daddy of
God - A Huge Tusker guarding the baby. WOOOO HOOO. The trip was worth
it I say. Naren kept the car at a steady 30 kmph and all 4 of us were
trying really hard to spot any other wildlife. Saw loads and loads of
deer and finally came into Masinagudi at 11.30 PM after an awesome
lunch+beer @ Pugmark. Turned from the main road to go to Wildways. 2
bends later.. We almost ran into a Tusker who was standing in the
middle of a 90 degree bend. HOOLY SHITE WONLEE. Naren stopped the car
and slowly started reversing but didnt move outta signt of the tusker.
Sat inside and jus watched the big one cross the road and after some
10 good mins the big boy got bored of us and moved into the
wilderness. Shaken like a Vodka Martini, the 4 of us finally settled
down at Wildways for the night. Me and Naren went off to sleep and
suddenly woke up in the middle of the night to dog barks. Naren took
out the search light and went out and spotted a whole group of Wild
pigs. I missed seeing em. Ajith didnt sleep the who light because he
was lil shaken that a Panther would decide to come into his room and
share his bed BWHAHAHAHHAHAA.
Day Two - Saturday
Woke up early and showered. Steaming hot idlis and aapams were served
by Abhid's wife. After belting down the food. Me, Ajith, Bala, Naren
and Abhid took off to the trekking spot. This place was 18 kms off
Kothagiri. The trek route was called the SHOLUR TRAIL. We climbed up
Kallati ghats to reach ooty and proceeded towards kothagiri. 2 Card
ripping up Kallati ghats was a sight to see. This pirticular ghat
section is damn steep and Naren handled the bends like a pro.
Proceeded to the tea estate from where the trek was to start. Bala
packed us all Lunch and off we went towards the sholur forest. Ajith
backed out from the trek after a kilometer and returned to the car.
Bala, Me, Naren, Abhid, two guards and a forest ranger took off on the
trek. The climb was fast and tiring. It was good distance too. Some 4
kms into the trek, Bala had a bad migrane attack and we all turned
back to the start point. The climb back was fast and break-less. We
reached the start point wonlee to find the car and ajith missing. he
came back in sometime wonlee to tell us that he missed the route back
and was walking round and round the tea estate. HAHAHA. We trekked up
and down the mountains and he trekked up and down the chai estate.
Bala started fixing us sandwiches which we hungrily hogged away :-D.
Started around 3 Pm from Kothagiri and reached Ooty. I am coming back
to Ooty after a looooooong time and man this place is conjested like
crazy. Checked into YWCA and called the RTMC boys who I thought were
in Masinagudi. These buggers actually had come up to Ooty to roam
around the place. Met up with Adman, Captain G and Sam Pedrosa for a
short while. They had to get back to Masinagudi before the ghat
checkpost closed down. The 4 of us packed up and went to meet Doc who
was close to Ajith. Doc arranged for us to wine and dine at a hotel (
forgot the name of the place ). Got smashed and Naren drove us all
back to YWCA and SNOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE wonlee.
Day Three - Sunday
Started from Ooty at 9 in the morning, Stopped for some chai and
patty. Got loads of chocolated and climed down the hillto reach
metupalayam. Drove down to Satyamangalam and then reached
Vani-yumm-badi Khaja @ 4pm for Lunch. From there it was home turf.
Belted the car back to Chennai and came straight to the beach to meet
up with the boys and have some veshams :-))

Weekend Misadventures
A neat weekend wonlee I say :-)))
Came home sharp at 5.30 on Friday evening and changed and took off to Kanna's place. Have a bite to eat and then began the Salsa lessons for an hour and a half with Prema and Hema teaching us Swing. Good Fun. office on a saturday morning is always a bitch but wat the hell wonlee, lets make it fun. Night pardy place was decided as Kanna's new house. I went off to guitar classes sat evening and was strumming away till 9ish. Came to the beach to find a huge group there and then headed out to Kanna's place with all of em. Bose saar joined us too :-) Went to coronet for dinner and after this me and vijay decided to ride on the ECR to join Naren @ viewpoint. Here the adventure started.
Decided to do 60s till destination and 4 kms after Casuarina Bay the back tire blew and the bike started fishtailing like crazy. Just couldnt control the bike but finally got it to stop. Got down pretty shaken up. The dude who was on a Caliber taling me stopped and said " Saar bike aa super aa control pannuneenga saar" I was like " Ada poda goiyaale ". Vijay came back to where I was standing and we decided to call Naren who came in the next 5 mins. 1.30 in the night, Not even a light in sight, Lonely ECR, Noone stopping to help. Man it was freaky. Naren decided that he will ride the punctured bike to Casuarina Chai and fackin DID IT too. Amazing supermotard ishtyle riding by Naren. Parked the bike at the chai shop and jumped on to Narens bike. Phew what a night :-)
Sunday Morning - Went to Casuarina Chai again with Vijay and Adi's rear wheel ( Thanks man ). Got the thing fixed. The time was already 2 in the afternoon and plans of going to the track got screwed. Had a good sleep and went with Adi and Raj in the evening to watch Steve Vatz play. Good fun for the 30rs that we paid. Came to the beach at 9ish and the yapping began. Went to Coronet for dinner and took off to Solo's place where a drinking session was in order. Was heading home when I got hauled up by the cops near my house. They checked papers and let me go. The wierd thing was that there was a 15 year old girl who was walking along at that time of the night. She got stopped and the SI started questioning her. I offered to drop the kid home and took her pillion till her place. Called her parents outside and gave em a piece of my already useless mind for letting the kid come back from Gingee all alone. Phew again.. What a night :-)
Peace

Iron Maiden - Consolation ride
One of the biggest names in the Heavy Metal mujik industry was to play in Bangy. Yes its IRON MAIDEN. These buggers have entertained me from the time I started to listen to these kind of moosik. Regular dudes playing skull crushing Metal and to top it all thers EDDIE. I was more than exited to go to this concert on the 17th of march but the belwo lines will tell you what happened during that weekend.
Couple of weeks back Adi and I got tickets for this show and we decided to ride down with a few other head bangers to Bangalore. Party thru the concert and after it and then roam about Bangy on sunday and then work in Bangy on Monday and the ride back early tuesday morning. None of this fackin ever happened. So what ekjaktly happened ??? Read on dudes...
Boss and Chief took off to Yelagiri on Friday to take care of work there and Adi backed outta the whole Iron Maiden plan saying that he has to go to Tenali. WHAT SHIT WONLEE. I said fack the concert man, Lets ride to Yelagiri even though I still wanted to go to the concert real bad. A lil later i changed my decision saying that I will go to the concert and touch Yelagiri on the way. The same day I again told Ajith that I will caman yelagiri and stay there and hell with eddie and the dudes. Called everyone i knew to sell off the tickets but everyone had already got one. FACKIN WONLEE. Went to Ajith place and got his Machismo back home and jumped into bed. The alarm rang at 4 on saturday morning
Woke up at 4 and quickly packed and I was outta my house at 5.30. Reached Meridian at 5.45 so see Bra and another dude standing there with their bikes. Parked and waited for the rest. Ravi and Ajith came and so did a few others.
Ravi - TB350
Ajith - Green Beary, STD 500
Me - CBR 1000RR ( I wish ). Was riding Ajith's A350 called "I MADBULL"
Prabhu - Electra
Bhuvan - TB350
Badri - TB350
Jerry - 350
Bra - TB350
Started off and went to fuel up at shell. A chai later, the gang rolled out at 6.30. Me and Ajith were running in the bikes so maintained slow speeds. Ravi decided to stick with us eventhough he was the other groups sweep. Did steady speeds till Vellore and stopped at a small shop for breakfast. I decided to skip breakfast and started with the gang again. Stopped at Ambur to do some shoe shopping. Ordered a riding boot while the other fackars did lotsa shoe purchasing. From there rode down to Ponneri for the final stop. This is the main stop because of the huge alcohol purchase :P~. Had good fun climbing up the ghats and rode straight into Country Club where Naveen was waiting for us. Unloaded luggage and me, ravi and ajith took off towards our office property to meet Bala and Naren. Could see lotsa developments in the Adventure Camp that FogHorn is building. Rode back to Country club, Had an awesome lunch at Nigress and then all the boys camaned the drinking. I decided to rest my absolutely useless head and went off to sleep. Woke up at 6.30 to find noone. Ravi came in an hour later and me, ravi and prabhu went back to the Camp area to find the boys drinking on top of the 207 truck. The Sky was absolutely clear and I was thinking of coming here sometime to do some star gazing. Then Bala and Naren decided to take us on a 7KM rollercoaster ride back to the country club. FACK THIS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT :-))))). Naren was in absolute maniac mode and he decided to make sure that our family jewels come to our mouth. Bala in front, Naren behind the wheels of the 207, Prabhu, Ranga and me on the luggage area. That 7 kms were bliss. Naren whacked the car in all directions and was drifting on every bend. Came back absolutely shocked to Nigress and had dinner on top of the 207 wonlee. GOOD FUN. Joined Naveen after this for some daaru and smokes. Mid of all this, The non-drinkers ( Me, ravi and prabhu ) decided to go down the ghats to the 9th bend to have a look. I think this was the best decision I have ever taken. The sight was breath taking man. Looking at 4 major towns from 2 kms uphill is absolute bliss. Retired at 2.30 in the night and woke up at 6.30. Got ready, Packed and went to the site. Was there till 11.30 and finally headed towards chennai. Stopped at Vellore for lunch and mech break and rode at good speeds to chennai. Reached chennai at 5 in the evening. Went straight home, dumped the luggage and changed and rode again to Uthandi for the Hash run. Finally came back home at 9.30, Had dinner and CRASHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I have never ever posted lyrics to a song here on my blog but this is somethin else. Sung by Amy Lee for a movie called Daredevil. You would notice the song in the movie when Jennifer Garner seeks revenge by turning into Elektra. I was under the impression that Amy's songs were not of my liking but fackin she just proved me wrong :-)

My Immortal - Evanecence
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
>>
This song is a must listen. Trust me it is.

The French Connection
"5.30! 5.30 saaarp!", yelled Ajith into the phone tapping at his watch.
I didn't get it. "Whats the rush?"
"Dei! We are leaving at 5.30, after office" and he hung up.
I wound up at office by 5.30, went home, put on riding gear and thumbed the started on Zak's Electra 5 speed. I let the engine warm up as I put on my helmet. Left Anna Nagar by 6, only to get caught in the evening traffic. I took me almost an hour to get to proper ECR. By 7.15 I was at the toll gate meeting Ajith (Bull 500), Kartik (Bull 500), Dosai (Thunderbird) and me on Zak's 'to be run in' Electra 5 speed.
We didnt waste much time and got back on the road. Kharthik's 500 was running in too, so we were 'supposed' to take it easy. Both Ajith's 500 and mine were maintaining typical Bullet tradition (though mine wasn't a Bullet) and spewing oil from around the engine area. Ajith's Goldstar exhaust had a nice metallic sound to it and felt like a slap in the face everytime he would overtake the pack. After a small 2 minute break at Mahabs (60 kms from the city) to let the running in bikes cool down, we continued. From here the ride was fun. Pitch dark roads, four bright headlamps and the thump of the irons. With lane markers and cat eyes giving us advance warning of the road ahead, we managed to do some safe speeding in a tight pack. Stopped for coffee at Midway and reached Pondy at 10.30~ish. Went straight to Hotel Aruna, took a room, and settled down. The rest of the time spent there is summed by "Caman the enjaiment"!
We woke up at, err...sometime in the morning, did some shopping in the main bazaar and went to the French restaurant near Auroville. Had some amazing food there and Ajith bugger started tempting us by saying he felt like staying back and all. The lunch bill came and we tried offering a credit card but, "Sorry sir, only cash." Stark reality hit us that we had no cash! So what did we do? No, we didnt wash dishes and all, but made Karthikh run to the ATM.
With the bill paid, we geared up and rode back to Chennai. The ride back is a story for another mail!
cheers

The Ride Back
The ride back was awesome wonlee... So here goes
Woke up Sunday Morning and couple of dums and one chettiar meeting later we checked outta Jai Aruna and headed off to the Market Area.

Good food for both the belly and the eyes ( if ya know what i mean ). Sent karthik running off to get cash on the pretext that this was his first ride BWHAHAHAHA.
Fueled up and headed outta Pondy. Decided to do non-shtaap but fackin wonlee that happened. Stopped 48 kms out at midway for chai and smokes. Then our highness Lawada Speaker Ajith Ahuja Atheraya decides to rip his 500 apart and took off. Trooper, Me and Noobee Boi Karthik did some steady riding to get to Mahabs. Chai and smokes later it was wonlee that that man.. That that bike. We all facked off to our respective places.

"5.30! 5.30 saaarp!", yelled Ajith into the phone tapping at his watch.
I didn't get it. "Whats the rush?"
"Dei! We are leaving at 5.30, after office" and he hung up.
I wound up at office by 5.30, went home, put on riding gear and thumbed the started on Zak's Electra 5 speed. I let the engine warm up as I put on my helmet. Left Anna Nagar by 6, only to get caught in the evening traffic. I took me almost an hour to get to proper ECR. By 7.15 I was at the toll gate meeting Ajith (Bull 500), Kartik (Bull 500), Dosai (Thunderbird) and me on Zak's 'to be run in' Electra 5 speed.
We didnt waste much time and got back on the road. Kharthik's 500 was running in too, so we were 'supposed' to take it easy. Both Ajith's 500 and mine were maintaining typical Bullet tradition (though mine wasn't a Bullet) and spewing oil from around the engine area. Ajith's Goldstar exhaust had a nice metallic sound to it and felt like a slap in the face everytime he would overtake the pack. After a small 2 minute break at Mahabs (60 kms from the city) to let the running in bikes cool down, we continued. From here the ride was fun. Pitch dark roads, four bright headlamps and the thump of the irons. With lane markers and cat eyes giving us advance warning of the road ahead, we managed to do some safe speeding in a tight pack. Stopped for coffee at Midway and reached Pondy at 10.30~ish. Went straight to Hotel Aruna, took a room, and settled down. The rest of the time spent there is summed by "Caman the enjaiment"!
We woke up at, err...sometime in the morning, did some shopping in the main bazaar and went to the French restaurant near Auroville. Had some amazing food there and Ajith bugger started tempting us by saying he felt like staying back and all. The lunch bill came and we tried offering a credit card but, "Sorry sir, only cash." Stark reality hit us that we had no cash! So what did we do? No, we didnt wash dishes and all, but made Karthikh run to the ATM.
With the bill paid, we geared up and rode back to Chennai. The ride back is a story for another mail!
cheers

The New Year
Ahhh 2006 flew mon. It fackin flew. Came and went jus like that.
It was the 31st.. Last day of the year and noone knew what they were gonna do that night. I was off alcohol so I knew this was going to be a sober night for a few of us. Sober night for me means less dancing, less craking jokes and less drunk people at the pardy place. Its been like 6 years since I have seen the new year with a clear head :P~
Hooked up with Aditya in the evening and took off to Bobby's place. Caught bob,Dol and veer at the ICICI ATM and after like 1000 moz bites, me and dol took off to Nilgiris to get some Pepsi, Snacks and a lollipop. Got back to Bob's place and carried like 10 beers and loads of hard alcohol upstairs to get the pardy started. Sat down and was yapping for a while and couple of Bob's friends came in and then the OH- flow started with me as bartender and part time DJ :P~. By 9 pm wonlee BOB was like 3 drinks down and was finding it difficult not to show us all his receding hairline. 1, 2, 3 ... The shots went on until everyone was nice and high. Kim and Maxx joined the fun somewhere midway. More people came in and I have fackin no clue what their names were. Zak came in quite late with the Hookah and the chooga chooga started wonlee. Double apple and mint filled the room and everyone including the chicks tried their hands at it. Zak took off after sometime and came back with his Wifey and his cuteness of a daughter. He also came back with a Russel peters CD and that provided entertainment admist new year wishes ;-). David like the fackin fella that he is lost his way on the way to Bob's place and I decided to get on the bike and drag his sorry ass back home :P~. Bob meanwhile was tryin to get Zak into his evil plan of His non-existing son marrying his cute existing daughter. BWHAHAHAHAHA.
Somewhere around 3 am, me, adi, ravi, david and Udit decided to CAMAN THE RIDE and off we went full jacketed ( Bobs thanks for the riding jacket mon ). Rode to casuarina bay chai shop st slow speeds and DAIM i enjaaied every second of it. Met the Sangam at the chai shop. Raj was already conked, sindhu was sleepy. Solo and Saru were happy, Topic and Naren were high. Arul was sober and Dead Dog was havin some good fun. After chai we all rode back to Naathari Naren's place for more alcohol and tapping. Finally the party closed at 6 in the morning and i reached home at 6.15 and CRASHHHHHHHHHH.
Notes:-
Russel peters is a must watch
Not drinking during new year is a diffrent thing. U wake up clear the next day.
Riding into the new year is a great feeling. Its always awesome starting a year with a ride that too with friends :-)
CAMAN THE ENJAIMENT
