When expectaions must be reasonable...

There are somethings that defy logic. Like, if there is sky above and ground below all you need is Master Card. As if anyone in their right minds would want to travel to the bowels of the earth or upper reaches of the atmosphere solely for the purpose of swiping their plastic. That is not the only thing that defies logic. There is also this blog.
Sometimes I shudder to think what I would have done if fullhyd.com had not given us the feature of blogs. Blogged elsewhere? Not a chance in hell! You see, that is what sets people like me apart. We never take the logical route to anything. We might travel to Jhumritalayya (for the uninitiated, that place sends in the most number of requests for Cibaca Geetmaala on Vividh Bharati) by Bus but we would almost never take a plane to it, mostly because it does not have an airstrip but that is besides the point.
The point is what would have happened if fullhyd.com/blogs did not exist. I would probably have ended up blowing a couple of million of my fortune on buying Penguin Books so that I could get my ramblings published. Except that I do not have one. Not fortune, silly. Ramblings. Everyone I have met has assured me I don't. Not ramblings, silly. Fortune. But that would not deter a man with as strong a resolve as mine, would it? The fact that fullhyd.com/blogs does indeed exist would.
Also, I am yet to come across such a man. The man with that kind of resolve, silly. What makes you think that I would ever want to buy up Penguin Books? I already have fullhyd.com/blogs. Not bought it, silly. I just have it to post blogs and use up gigabytes upon gigabytes of diskspace on the web. Not have as in 'have your soup', silly. Just plain and simple have as in 'have a house'. Not that I have a house for any other purpose other than that of possession. But, that does not mean I possess fullhyd.com/blogs or even that I am possessed by it.
There are somethings that defy login. No, I did not make a gaffe. Windows, for instance, always has. Made a gaffe, and defied login. Perhaps that was too harsh. On windows users. I rephrase - 'Made gaffes and defied login'. That it also defies logic is not something I hold against it. Expectations must always be reasonable.

It is too much to expect me to tie my shoelaces. Typing in the title is like way beyond me. And you say the post was confusing? Why is that? I thought it was too simple to decipher.

Ha ha! How sad it has come to this, when you have to explain a rather clever piece of writing - it defies login!
Liked that line, I did.

You know, Neurotron, post 9/11 one can never be too careful in this world. It always helps to clarify, though sometimes I wished I did not have to. Not clarify, silly. Help.
18 Aug 2004, 11:37am
I'm bored Scripto. Not with your writing. Just bored. And when I'm bored, I can't think of anything to comment about. So that's what this is about.
18 Aug 2004, 11:39am
I'll come back and quibble about the Master Card thing. Not upto it now.
Beware!
18 Aug 2004, 11:52am
Hmmm... Thanks for clarifying on the boredom bit. I am glad we concur on the post 9/11 funda.
18 Aug 2004, 7:31pm
Okay. Let's see. [start quibble] No one's asking you to go to the upper reaches of the atmosphere or the boels of the earth to sipe your plastic Scriptie. The ad just means that you do not need anything else if you have Master Card. Master Card = only survival device needed. Don't need to travel anyhere.[end quibble].
Bt(dubbleu), can you tell me hat's rong ith the dubble-u on this keyboard? Can't get it to ork. :D
18 Aug 2004, 7:41pm
Aran, I might claim to know a lot of things, most of them not without reason. But, ESP is certainly not one of them. How can I, seated in the confines of wherever I am seated, troubleshoot what is wrong with your keyboard, which, I am sure, is only confined to your confines?
PS: Ever tried using Master Card at a Chai Bandi? Chai = survival tonic.
18 Aug 2004, 8:42pm
Okay Script, you don't know about my keyboard. And I just told you what the admen want to convey to you, me and the general Master Card ad watching public. I didn't say their thinking is correct. But now you've made me dream of a world where chai bandis accept Master Card. Ohhhh... Utopia!
18 Aug 2004, 8:46pm
That would indeed be Utopia. But, will they ever accept VISA or would I forever remain deprieved of my daily cup of chai?
18 Aug 2004, 8:48pm
As an after-thought, do you work in an ad agency?
18 Aug 2004, 9:55pm
No, I don't. I just have the same mindset as those polished Master Card selling men in business suits. I rather wish I had their salary instead. Sigh.
ps. Switch to Master Card.

So, that will be one Presidential suite (with king size bed, 1 nos), oysters (plate, 2 nos), champagne (bottle, 1 nos), bouquet of roses (red, 1 nos), the Royal Philharmonic, dinner for two, breakfast for two, and the 'do not disturb' sign.
Will that be all Sir?
[Ha ha ha! Man, both of you were practically begging for it. Bewarned, this is not the end. I vill bee Bach...]
19 Aug 2004, 10:46am
M/s Neurotron and drp, just what do you people think we are "up" to? Man, talk of making a mountain out of a mole hill! And, Aran, are you a commission agent for Master Card?
19 Aug 2004, 11:37am
Scripty, No.
Neurotron, I want that place. ALONE. You can keep the champagne. Oh, and the oysters too. :D
19 Aug 2004, 11:48am
Aran, you echo my thoughts. Why is it so difficult for Neurotron to understand that I would want the room solely for me, and me, alone? Ah, well, I guess some people are slllllooowww learners.
19 Aug 2004, 12:08pm
i wish not to comment on the nature of relations that exist between scriptwriter and aran, because it won't do to put pressure on a budding alliance. so i'll just say: nudgenudgewinkwink. and: name her after me.
about the blog. man, how phenomenally jobless are you. you'll notice there's no question mark there, so please don't post an equally jobless reply.
having said that and used up my quota of meaness for the day, i'll shut up after these few words: i like blog. especially the bit about the login, as an alert reader already pointed. punsters go to heaven, ma boy.
also cibaca geethmala. makes me nostalgic in a vague sort of way, because it's not a time a remember.
i fear i have said too much. goo'bye then, and i'm glad i got here for this one. i might even read your next blog of my own volition :)
19 Aug 2004, 12:47pm
Barely there, no one has ever done this to me. After reading your comments I am barely here, there or everywhere. I really must learn this art of speaking a lot and still saying nothing. Would you be willing to tutor me on that? It just comes so naturally to you.
19 Aug 2004, 1:24pm
oooh good insult. i am well and truly shamed
19 Aug 2004, 1:39pm
Shamed? Why? Now, I am well and truly flummoxed! As they say in Hindi, I am 'Kinkartavimoodh'.
19 Aug 2004, 10:02pm
barely there, lots of people asking you to teach them lots of stuff, huh? How do you do it? :D
Soul sistahs? :p
