Very very funny!

Sharmila put together a hypothesis. After researching and analyzing a lot of Facebook pictures, I came to the conclusion that her hypothesis is absolutely on the money. That is too funny.

Her hypothesis is – “All Indian grandmothers in group pictures posted in Facebook always seem to be frowning and worried”.

God, that was too funny!!

I can add about twenty pictures to submit as proof but I am sure I will have twenty less friends quickly 🙂

From the bartender’s corner – Halloween Special

I think I was first told about this drink by Jennifer Munroe. It is this Halloween’s special from my bar. It is called Alien Brain Hemorrhage. Bailey’s Irish creme and peach schnapps for the brain coagulation, grenadine for the blood hemorrhage and some blue curaçao to give the ghoulish alien part!!!

Outstanding response!!

In response to my poem to publicly shame Nachiketa for not coming out to run with us (errr… I mean eat luchi mangsho with us) – which I might hasten to add was extremely effective since he signed up immediately, my school friend Sibapriya (remember him? I visited him and his parents in Midnapore a couple of months back) posted an outstanding response in the form of another Bengali poem he wrote (written to a different iambic metre). In this he urges Nachiketa NOT to come out and run/eat luchi mangsho etc…

Luchi aar mangsho!
Chalupar ongsho?!
Ei ki go tomader ghata kore
Calorie dhongsho?
Ray,Mukhopadhyay ra ki
Pagoler bongsho?

Seshpate whiskey!
Noy ki ta risky?
Chalupar chalaki
Douroley henchki?
Durethako Nachiketa
Jeonako hethahotha!!!

Well played, Sibapriya, well played!! I bow to superior talent!!
