In keeping with the atmosphere and general humour of my blog, I present to my loyal readers, a new post (Yeah yeah.. go ahead and say it..say it..! Say, "FINALLY!"). I render this one is special to me because it speaks of those who have made me laugh on numerous occasions (which I will mention shortly), those who light my face up with smiles ever so often and those who continue to teach me not to take myself or life too seriously, ensuring that I dismiss it all with a hearty laugh.
I have tried as best as I possibly could, to re-enact and describe vividly the scenes and incidents that led to funny and witty repartees. However, I have failed miserably to capture the essence of what exactly got myself, and everyone present at the time, laughing. I am not entirely at fault though, because most of what follows is based on ‘spot jokes’, or in other words, jokes which may not seem as funny to someone who was not present at the time of their.. er.. cracking!
I’m a bit rusty with blogging, but here goes!

Now, this little part of my post is dedicated entirely to one of my friends, Vinod, who can make even a funeral march seems hilarious. One can be most definitely sure of Vinod’s presence if gut-bursting laughter is heard in the vicinity. I have to admit that I hardly remember even close to one-twelfth of his spontaneous jokes for I never bothered to write them down (which was a result of laughing too hard while simultaneously rolling on the ground and clutching my stomach). I did, however, manage to locate some stray one-liners and jokes that were situated in deep-seated areas of my very limited memory. Read on, but beware of involuntarily cracking a rib or two!
On being not-so-in-shape, or rather, being out-of-shape:
You think it’s easy being fat?! Do you realize tough it is to maintain my figure? I need to eat enough of food and get the right amount of rest among other things.
When asked if he wanted to go to a discotheque:
It’s full of old men groping around in the dark. If you want to get felt up, go ahead, but do not count me in.
On getting a full-body massage done:
If I wanted to me felt up by strange men, trust me, I’d go stand in a bus stop.
In reference to the poster (on the right), that we came across in a certain Cafe Coffee Day branch:
That guy looks like he’s getting his arse f***ed!! [use your imagination ;)]
When asked what he would do once he was married:
I’m going to write a book titled ‘How to Be a Husband and Get Away With It’.

Just a few random things!
There was this one time when my sister, her friends and I were walking down a road, and we happened to walk past a woman who was wearing a bra as an excuse for a saree blouse. That was when a flabbergasted Ken exclaimed, “Where’s the rest of it?!”
A certain movie was on tv, once, where one scene revolved around a woman kissing a certain gentleman. The same woman was then seen kissing another gentleman in the scene that followed. I do not recall who, but there was a friend/family member who remarked, “That’s like sharing a lollipop!”
A snippet of a conversation that took place on a catamaran, sailing on the Mediterranean Sea:
Anonymous (I do not want to reveal his identity): But.. but.. we weren’t asked to bring our swimsuits along with us!
Captain: Well.. it’s taken for granted when you are on a boat.
On failing to understand self-infliction:
Esha: Why do some people just gash their hands repeatedly..? Why don’t they just cut off their entire arm and get it over with?
Esha (again): I want rabbit juice. I mean, carrot juice! (A slip of the tongue..?! Hehe)
Even though I know my beloved Esha is going to kill me, I’m going to mention that she once thought the Bishop who paid a visit to our school was the Pope..! Hahaha.
My dad is undoubtedly the funniest person I have EVER known! As of now, I remember just ONE hilarious incident that occurred[=(]. My sister was in the tenth grade at the time, and was extremely nervous before her first board exam, not to mention that she also had chicken pox during her exams. My father was driving her to school and he tried to console her by saying, “Its ok. Even if you fail this time, you can always write the exams next year.” She burst into tears.
Hmm.. so there are a LOT of people (Muffin People included!) bring joy and laughter into my life and the lives of those around them, but I don't remember exactly what they did or said that was so jaw-droppingly hilarious. I wish I did though.. I really wish I did.
I shall end with a very philosophical thought. Do you know what heaven really feels like? Let’s say you need to use the loo real bad and you are an hour’s drive away from the closest lavatory (and let’s also assume that you do not heed to nature’s call in the wilderness). Heaven is when you get to that lavatory, perhaps a lot later than the one hour that the drive was supposed to take, and finally set your butt on that blessed toilet seat and just let go! Heaven!! Hehe.
