Uff!

I hate getting in all introspecty moods!!!

Dinner with the ex

I had dinner with G tonight. Yes, after all my friends advised against it. He randomly called me on the day of the potluck to invite me over. I have no idea why he did this. In anycase, I told him that I was busy and he asked me if I was pissed at him, and I said yes. I didn't get into further details because I wouldve ended up burning the food I was cooking.

But getting to the point. I was pretty concerned as to why he wanted to meet me - I mean it was a pretty random phonecall after a long time. We met for dinner at this vietnamese place 'Monsoon' on the west side, and it was quite nice. I was pleasantly surprised - he was extraordinarily nice - picked up the tab, walked me home - maybe it was guilt?

But I was thinking, on my way back uptown after being stood up by friend Brian who flaked on me at the last minute, that I think I'll always be attracted to him. He is super gorgeous, but I think I'm more attracted to his simplicity. At some level, perhaps I envy that level of non ambition and simplicity - I've been raised to be tremendously succesful and ambitious - which, in my opinion, is not a bad thing at all. But it's just sometimes the grass is greener on the other side? Anyway, the point being I think I reached that level of emotional defeat today - where it's like I know I'll always have feelings for G - and the chemistry is undeniable given the circumstances of our meeting - but it's obviously not meant to be, and meeting him once every 2 months is not a bad thing. It's like I feel that today was emotional closure for me - where I could actually dine with him as friends, and control the expression of my emotions to the extent where I realized that nothing will become of it.

Just random thoughts...

In other news going insane trying to get everything together for Monday - the shuttle picks me up at 2pm. Still so much packing/moving to be done!!!

My house is a mess - I've got boxes littered around, room's in a general overall mess, there's going to be a thunderstorm tomorrow night - the night of my potluck - and there's 4 ppl staying over!!! AAAARRGGGHH!!!

To the 'aamchi mumbai' crowd

Here's a brief history of Pramod Navalkar - the head of the 'moral police' (And no, they don't have a moralmobile or hi tech gadgets - just receding hairlines, pot bellies and safari suits.)

I'll probably hate myself tomorrow...

..BUT I BOUGHT TICKETS TO MADONNA!!!!! AT $200 - OUCH!!. So much for any holidays I was planning - but it's ok. I will survive. I don't do this sort of thing everyday. And I got them at face value, which means I'm paying what the guy paid.

A note to the people who forward my blog to the Gurus of Comedy

First of all, thank you. I don't think I've had so much traffic at my site. Ever. It also means that now half of the whole world knows everything about my life, which is not nescessarily a good thing, but whatever.

Secondly, guys, please don't apologize and get defensive. I'm not high falutin' critic or anything, I'm just a regular person who went to the show and wasn't pleased. I'm sure there were other people who enjoyed the show - I just wasn't one of them. This does not mean that comics don't progress later on and eventually become geniuses - god knows Tapan Trivedi may be the next Johnny Lever - but on that day, he didn't impress me.

And now, somehow, I feel that the Gurus of Comedy show will include several cracks at Gujju bloggers....

I WANT MADONNA TICKETS!!!!

I looked up the price on MSG, and of course, they're all sold out, but even if they weren't - so frickin expensive. The forces of nature are against me - I so badly want madonna tickets - will she still be touring by the time I graduate? What if she changes religions again and decides she's not going to sing anymore??

*sigh*

Random catching ups..

- Weather was great the last coupla days - so spent them exploring central park - super fun! Did not get picked up.

- Posting pre-pubescent pics on blog probably was not such a good idea considering randoms from friendster visit my blog. But then am not really getting much anyway. Besides, I wan't to date someone for me.

- Went to random 'gurus of comedy' show last night. Overpriced, and can someone please tell Tapan Trivedi he is not funny. In fact, when he was performing, I swear I heard crickets (and this is new york - we don't have crickets). Paul Varghese was funny, but the rest were very eh. Also got drunk (and I mean pissed) thanks to fudness and ended up home. Alone. And then had a failed attempt at phonesex (I couldn't stop laughing - donno why - phonesex is weird).

- Backpacking trip is probably going to be reorganized bec Divya's dates are being shuffled around. More here.

Whats up with my hands?!! A preview of T-rex?!! And why is Piya's mouth wide open? These are the mysteries of the universe.... 

Pre-pubescent and at plumpu's. OMG What the hell is going on with my hair?!! 

Gay Salsa Dancing Lesson

Now that I have all this free time on my hands, I've been perusing the Time Out for free things like a horny gay boy at the roxy on a saturday night. So, I was thrilled when I came across a free salsa and east coast swing dance class at this studio called 'Stepping Out', which specializes in gay dance classes. And so I took my elmer fudness and we set out to burn up the floor. Of course there were only 2 cute guys there - and they were together. The rest were all oldies or lesbians. But since partners were rotated, it was actually very fun - without ulterior phone number getting motives.

And some relevant issues were brought up in same sex dancing- it's easier to lead a woman than a man, and sometimes it feels really icky when you're dancing with a bear (hairy man), and you can feel his back hair through 2 layers (although I could've totally been imagining this). Also, it was really fun, because there were no gender stereotypes - everybody led and followed, so it was fun :). Plus watching E.Fudness' 2 left feet was hillarious - poor chap - but he definitely tried and did get better by the end of the night.
We had dosas for dinner, and since the weather was so great, walked up 60 blocks while chatting about g, his ex, desi boys and a lot more. Also, the eye candy on the upper east isn't that bad - so moving there is not nescessarily going to be a socially bad thing.

Dorkut : Blast from the Past

So undergrad was not exactly the most pleasant experience for me. Shoving a left winger into a right winger's box kind of cramped my style. Which is not saying I didn't make friends and have a good time, but when I left I thought I was done with it. Man, was I wrong. Who knew there were so many of us in a little school like UDCT (or UD Shitty as I like to refer to it), and they concieved a way to connect (well, right wingers perhaps, but everyone in that school was a goddamn genius, so I don't know why I'm surprised) .

But anywa, Nonie introduces me to (d)Orkut and somehow manages to get me to join. God knows how or why - but being useless really gives me nothing better to do - and so I did.

And OMG the WHOLE DAMN SCHOOL IS ON THERE - I mean senior's seniors, junior's juniors and god knows who else. In the last 4 days I have receieved 11 friend requests, god knows how many 'scraps' and found random people who I probably would've forgotten about. Now I wish I had this kind of luck with cute boys on friendster!!

Dear God

If you're out there - you'll get me a ticket to this - a birthday present in advance? A romantic gesture? A lottery? I don't care how you do it - but don't send me to my grave without witnessing Madonna live.

p.s. I wouldnt mind having sex with a really hot guy to get one either. But he has to be hot. But I won't if you think it's immoral.

Fanaa...

Blogscovery

In recovering from sore throat acquired by excessive drinking, sex and jacketless walks of shame in the cold, I discovered some fun stuff :

Metroblogging Mumbai , a blog that basically comments on whats going on in Bombay, and was most entertained to read that the removal of 25paisa coins is causing quite a stir in busses. I remember one time a marwari friend of mine who was in a cartooning workshop with me had an argument with a bus conductor over 5 paisa. Apparently the conductor gave him 5 pasia less, and so he created a hullabaloo until someone in the train offered him 5 paisa to shut up. And they call me kanjoos!! At least I was paid 10 to stop singing :D.

The other is Sex and Mumbai, a look into a Bomgay's personal sex life. It's amazing how interesting some random person's life can be. Um. Ok just realized people probably say the same thing when they read my blog. Oh well, who am I kidding, I'm an attention whore, and I love it!!

Oversexed, exhausted and so need a vacation from men!!

God knows I never thought I'd say this , but I have had 3 men in the last 3 days - and now I am so oversexed I may throw up even if brad pitt asks me to have sex with him. Well, maybe not brad pitt - but you get the general idea.

In this very 'now that I have a month off and I'm going to live up my youth' I've been dating up a storm with anyone I find remotely interesting. Have been to the galleries in chelsea and seen some excellent prints with an architect who designs museums, a surrealistic pseudo-noveau sucky ass boring play with a columbia theater student, and the usual rounds of bars like therapy and g lounge. And somehow - alcohol has driven me to become drutty - drunk and slutty.

So date #1 actually happened last week - this guy on friendster, whom I'm not really interested in, sent me a message. Theater grad student had tickets to this play 'fragment', which btw is only slightly less entertaining than watching my dog bryce take a poo at 9am when I'm barely awake. In anycase, there was no chemistry, but the guy turned out to be really nice into all things south asian (surprise surprise) including bollywood. So, I thought I'd end up making friends with him, since I don't date actors (how can you trust someone who lies for a living?). Which is exactly what I said on our second date, and he was totally cool with it. Of course, 2 beers and one vodka down, we were on the couches at posh totally getting it on (and yes, we were completely clothed - how slutty do you think I am?!!)

Date #2 was a gay.com hookup whom I met at therapy. Kind of chubby, russian dude who pretty much spoke too much. Again, curry queen, except that he spoke more than the actor dude. Same story - drunk, horny, except I actually did the walk of shame and got back home by 3-ish.

Last night I went for ice age with neil 'neausy neausy' patel, a friend from bombay who I will refrain from calling a slut given my behavior over the last few days, but yes, he was affectionately called the 'yari road slut' back home. In anycase, he smuggled in 2 small bottles of grey goose which we put in a small coke, which we sipped while watching ice age 2. The movie was great, and then we headed to the g lounge. My friend Fahad had a hard week, so the purpose of the night was to get him drunk, distract him from his woes and eventually get him laid. Of course, 2 vodka cranberry's down and I was getting hit on by 2 guys at the same time. Got drunker and ended up having to do the walk of shame again.

So, god knows what worm has worked its way inside my head to suddenly make me so bold and mischevous, but I can definitely say that I think I may throw up if I see another penis. And I mean from my mouth. Is this a sign that my youth is nearing it's end?

However, in other news, my brother is moving to San Fran on July 31 to finally live with his to-be wife and get a job. He will be missed. Or rather, the free movies and the marathon cooking sessions will be missed.
