Old Monk Cutting

I dont quite remember when did i actually start drinking... no im not an alcoholic like that, occassional drinker thats all. But the fact remains that somewhere in graduation in Ruia is what i remember. We were preparing for the annual college fest and this time our princi dear was really giving us a tough time, behaving like the college is his own fiefdom and we are his slaves, so we were quite pissed off as it is.
I was in my final year i think, and I was also the cultural secretary of the college and for the college fest Utsav, i was the coordinator for performing arts so that was anyways quite a bit of craziness anyways.
I dont really remember how i got this name, maybe if the guys who gave this name to me read this post then they will be able to through light on this. There were a couple of guys who had joined the first year, but they were almost our age as they had dropped out of engeneering or sumthg so we anyways gelled quite well. Also in Mumbai there is a culture of cutting chai at the chai ka tapri. So somehow i got the reputation of being the one who instead of asking for cutting chai asks for old monk cutting.
This could also be as most guys find old monk too strong and call it the drink for the horses. One guy even told me that if i leave a piece of chicken in a glass of old monk, then by next morning that meat would have dissolved as the alcohol is so corrosive, which works fine for me frankly, i do need some fat to dissolve:)
So that ny friends is the story of how i came to be known as old monk cutting or OMC. I was chatting with one of these guys the other day and he actually referred to me as OMC.
BTW i got this name some 10 years ago!!!! WOW

Songs I want to sing

Let me make a list of songs that I would love to sing on stage: hee hee hee

• Dekha jo tujhey yaar, dil main baji guitar, jhalka aankhon se pyar, dil main baji guitar, cha raha kaisa yeh nasha rey, aa raha jeeney ka mazza rey, arrey rey rey main toh gaya reh dil bhi gaya reh.... Apna Sapna Money Money. even though this song has 2 versions both sung by men (Mikaa and Amit Kumar) I totally love this song... it is soo bloody mumbaiya. So therefore, this song to be sung on stage with music and a crazy crowd:)
• Na lihaf na gilaf thandi hawa ke khilaf sasuri..... yes my dear peoples, this is beedi from Omkara. If there is any thing that I will truely be remembered for in this office especially in my team, it is for my laughter and the umpteen number of times that I have sung this song with all the right expressions (teehee). But i am awaiting an opportunity to sing this on stage and yes the entire song all by myself
• Sajna ji wari wari jaon ji main... I am not too confident of this song as i have never really sung it, but what the hell it is totally my type. You do know Honeymoon travels pvt ltd
• Now the list is actually a wish list sorts as i have not really tried these songs much and they are quite complicated like that:
• Kaisa jadoo dala rey.... from Khakhee, i am in love with the music of this song and the variations that sunidhi chuhan has done in this song too cool
• Hai ishq toh ishq toh galey se lagaley..... Dus.... ohhh i am unable to express in words what the music of this song does to me!!! just great

That is all for the day folks see you again:))))

Monday morning

At some stage in my life I am going to get Mondays banned... yes sir I will be at that stage at some stage in my life, but till then me and all others will have to suffer the Monday morning, afternoon, evening and night BLUES. In the words of Suchi... Uffffffff.... with the longest sigh ever.
And then we had this tracker meeting today so I also have a huge list of things to do, but where I ask is the inspiration to do the same?'
The only thing I am totally looking forward to is that I am going home in August tumtadeedee !! But then there is an entire July in between which will have atleast 4 mondays....... Lord!!!
