Wannabe!

Talent transformation at LGS.

Thanks to the vettiness...We (Akanksha n me) have found a new way of exhibiting our professionalism in literature. Herez what we wrote on one such lousy afternoon when there was no work (read no internet) at office.

There lived a squirrel called Wannabe
She hunted for nuts on every tree
She hopped, jumped and ran across
She swam and danced and played lacrosse.

One day she saw a bunch of men
And started playing the sexy hen
Fluttering her eyelashes, she winked n bowed
She made all efforts to attract the crowd.

Mocked she was and that broke her heart
Seducing a human was not her part
Her childhood buddy, Chester-willy
Gave her a nut and gave her a lily.

Together they indulged in nut stealing
And made the business quite appealing
Bunty aur Babli they watched for inspiration
And a blog they created for mutual admiration.

Now old and happy are the two in their cove
Growing cozier and smarter in their warm love
We better leave them in peace and get back to work
Otherwise our loving boss will turn into a jerk.

Comments ... Compliments invited! :D

Gandhigiri

There has been an unexplainable interference of this man in my life over n over and the latest dose of “Gandhigiri” (*Munnabhai fame) brings ashore a wave from deep within. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi – a man of masses – the man behind the social movements – a revolutionist – a legend and ME. Not even a remotest possibility of any relation exists. The difference is that of – grain of sand and an anthill. Yet, there have been way too many incidents to recount, where I commendably showcased too much Gandhigiri to get the work done. Clearly… all this shows that the only logical reason why I can have Gandhism in me would be a “Chemical locha” in my head coz I very conveniently even spoke to Bapuji.

No… this is no sequel of our Munnabhai’s story coz junta knows that this happened with me much before LRMB released. (*March ’03 precisely… so it’s more like they flicked my idea for this flick) Now u kno which celeb everyone spoke more about when LRMB released… hahaha!
This filthy brain of mine never stops its proactive thought process and thus emerged the vicious WHY! Come to think of why this so-called chemical locha happened with me? When did I start thinking so much about the father of the nation? And then the film reeled back… (*black n white concentric circles as in illusions start revolving)

August ’99 – Secunderabad – Class X

Yes, this was when I first came face to face with the man in question. I had written and directed a musical comedy “Oh my India! – says Gandhi”. The climax and the message delivered by the play had lot to do with gandhian thoughts for which I had to flip through the annals of Indian history. The fresh creativity was received well and it was a huge hit. The element of comedy did the magic I suppose. I just came to realise that its been so long and I almost forgot this episode of my life. I really was creative even then [*hehehe...am I being modest?? ;)] So...all I want to do now is blog my brain child here so that I remember it for life and you cherish it when the humor bug planted in it starts tickling u :D

so guys...wait for “Oh my India! – says Gandhi” says Ramya!
