The Guy Who Checked Out Rob...

Yesterday was a crazy day... we had gone to stitch a tuxedo for my cuz Rob. So we are here at a place in Bandra with another friend Carmeline who believes she knows Bandra 'in and out' but didn't know which platform leads where...

We looked thru certain materials after browsing thru a magazine. I was indeed surprised that we could zero onto the fabric in just 20mins. I thought having a woman with us would mean we would be lallygagging around the shop for at least an hour and a half... but now I believe if it was just the guys we would have done it in quicker... say 10 minutes?

So this guy calls in his tailor by the name 'Master' who comes to measure Rob. I haven't heard a name Master in a long time only but in Chinese Martial Arts Movies... so I was little dissapointed to see our 'Master'. He was a short guy.. say 5'5 tall with a paunch that reminded me of our adorable Panda (read Kunfu Panda). But then who am I to judge... If the Panda can be the master so can be our 'Master'.

Our 'Master' took out his measuring tape and began to measure him (obviously duh.. what else can u do with the measuring tape other than use it to measure) and began to dictate the measures to the owner of the store who was taking it down on a peice of paper. It was all normal until 'Master' measured his chest... and it was 40 inches. The owner on listening to that was just floored... he said he could'nt believe that Rob had that huge chest... he didn't stop there... he went to admire Rob with how great is that... and how he never had an opportunity to stitich a tux for chest that wide before. It got worse when he realized that Rob's waist was just 34 Inches. And he began admiring more... he went on saying... "WOW... 6 Inches difference between the Chest and the waist... never seen that before..." Poor Rob was getting really uncomfortable... but I am really glad the guy wasnt gay... or Ann wouldnt have left him alive...

It was one hillarious moment we don't wanna forget and one moment Rob never want to experience again... Anyway since you guys have read so much about Rob here... I thought I should put his picture so you guys know what we are talking about...

Ladies and Gentlemen (I meant only the 'gentle' men) Please welcome my cuz... ROB....

P.S. The guy also said... Rob has got a good 'FIGURE'

Forgive & Forget

The Holy Bible, the book I read teaches us to forgive and forget. Something many of us fail to grasp or understand. But then if you look closely its the most complete thing. I have heard many people say, "I will forgive you, but will never forget what you did to me." I really doubt if they have really forgiven the person in the first place... ;)

Forgiveness isn't complete unless it is forgotten...

I have had this special gift where I would forget everything that I been thru or wouldn't remember anyone that has hurt me after I have listened to some soothing music or had a nice nap. And I thought this was a curse over me cos people would just simply walk over me and take me for granted. I really wished I would never forget anything ever and I would begin to hate the people who hurt me.

until I had this little conversation with my friend Ann last night...

As I confided in Ann and told her what I have been thru, I realized how what I had was a gift. But perhaps, I was waiting for a reward for staying calm and bearing it all... not realizing maybe the gift I have is indeed a reward in it... Ann told me how there are some people or things in her life she has found it difficult to forget or forgive and how it has dragged on to ages. But I am really a happy man today as I understand what I possess. I really wanna take this opportunity to thank God for what he has created in me and hope that he would make me use this gift to bless and give hope to someone in need... :)

The Party That Lasted 2 Days...

My parents left for Kerala on 28th Oct for a week's Vacation. And we folks have been planning a party that we all would remember forever... a party that would last for a week... All right that was little exaggerated but we started it off pretty good... ;)

My Parents left the house at 9 am and we entered in at 12 pm. We had our lunch of Pizzas and Chicken Biryanis... and then watched 'Get Smart'. After which we played some music and got down to posing for the Camera. Here are some of them:








































Well after all the photo shoot was over... it was almost 9.30 pm and we proceeded to Silver Coin Restaurant where our dinner was waiting for us to feed on... :P

But the posing didn't stop there either... seems like we just a bunch of posers after all...




























We feasted upon a couple of starters... don't even know what they were... for the main course I was high on Chicken Steak... while these folks ordered some Indian Naan and Chicken... followed by deserts...
















Soon we were back... and goofing around again... until it was 3 am... and continued goofing around again...































We slept at 4 am at last... and woke up at 7.30 am the next morning... and this what it looked like the next day...

Finally Engaged!!!

Sunday was a very exciting day for all of us. My cousin Rob and my friend Ann got engaged at last after 9 years of dating. There's a lot to learn from this relationship... How they survived this 9 years and how they still love hanging around with each other every minute.



It was a beautiful private ceremony with both the families and close relatives present at Rob's place. The ceremony began with my dad giving a brief about the couple, followed by short speeches from Ann's dad and Ann... Ann was pretty brief with her words. She thanked both the families and friends gathered for their support all this while. Rob was too shy so he just nodded his head in agreement with whatever Ann said.


The couple looked very dashing in their attire for the day. Ann wore a nice maroon saree with golden embroidery while Rob wore a greenish sherwani. I the unofficial best man wore a blue shirt with blue jeans... (I know I was pretty casual for the occasion) Ryan, Ann's brother wore a blue sherwani and blue jeans. and my bro was in black formal shirt and trousers.
