Whats this "W" in your name??I asked.Oh its Wayne.My full name is Johny Wayne Joseph.I will call u Wayne?? i asked.Oh sure ,nobody calls me Wayne.Friends call me John,Colleagues call me Mr.Joseph.but nobody calls me Wayne. Beer?? he raised his Budweiser can and asked.No thanks ,I will go for a juice.I picked the menu card.Many names sounded strange,the waiter came close to us,one Mojito with out alcohol,I said.That was the first time I was going to have a Mojito. Its called Nojito or Virgin Mojito,Wayne said. What ?? I dint get what said.A Mojito with out alcohol,he said. Where are your friends?? he asked.I pointed my hand towards the left.You see that green Heineken flag?there is a shack,Sam's restaurant,we were doing water sports.Now tired,they must be having food.I just thought of walking through this beach.Good,he smiled, closed his Mac book, raised his head.You are not here for a vacation I guess are you??I asked. Why?? he asked.Well hardly find anyone with laptop,excel sheets,and ppts in a Goan beach.more over you are alone,no girl friend,no friends. So....I didn't finish that sentence.Cool. nice observation.I'm actually on my vacation,but I have few tasks, in fact I'm in search of some thing dude.He looked the evening sun.Blue sleeveless t shirt with tantric designs ,ash shorts.I saw something in his eyes behind that spectacles. Interesting,If you don't mind,may I know,what you searching for??I asked.He looked in to my eyes.He didn't speak.After a pause he said.Your friends must be waiting for you.Its a long story.Its 4.15pm.We have time up to 6,I smiled.After that what plans?Wayne asked.Nothing much,will go room,take a bath,will get ready.Dinner at a Beach shack at Baga,They have candle lights and guitarists,we have booked the tables.Then Disc at Tittos Club.That's it.Nice plan,How long will you be here in Goa he asked.We came Yesterday morning,3 More days we will be here. K why do you want to know about me?? he asked,this time his voice was firm.well I love to hear about others,especially if I don't know them.I said.What will you get. he asked?? My Nojito had come,Ice cubes,lime juice and green leaves.Cheers, he raised his beer can n touched my glass.See Mr.Wayne,this is Goa,life revolves and rotates around beaches,I see the same persons at different places,many of them.I see them at restaurants, forts,pubs,beaches,lanes,churches.You are not the only person whom I saw more than twice.First we saw at Fort Chapora,I liked your Tattoo,that's the reason I looked at you.Even you looked at me.Then we met at Cafe coffee day,When we left you looked at me,I smiled,you raised your left hand.Then again at Tittos lane,we both smiled.Now here.You don't look like a stranger Wayne.If you did, I wouldn't come and sit with you.If you feel like sharing you can,else we can finish this drink and I will just push off. He smiled,Chill dude.I'm an investment banker,working in Singapore..Excuse me I intruded,before that I would like to know about this tattoo.Ha ha what you wanna know he asked.Why this tattoo??Jesus crying in the Gesthemane gardens?? Yup..he paused,why did you like this tattoo? he asked.Well I liked it cos,even Jesus felt pain,even he prayed,even he cried.He was God,He could have avoided this pain and suffering,But he boldly faced it.I paused. Exactly Joe,Exactly,even I connect my self with Jesus in Gesthemene, Powerful ,yet he cries.I saw his eyes sparkling,is that tear??I dint ask.You are spiritual?? yup. he smiled.Are you Goan I asked.Hmmm..My granddads father is Portuguese, He married a Goan Lady ,My grand dad migrated to Delhi,So if you ask me,I'm half Portuguese,half Indian,half Goan,half Dilli.K then tell me about your Job. I work as an investment banker in Singapore,now on my vacation.This August I will put my resignation notice,and by December I'll leave Singapore,Why?? you got another Job?? I was curious..Hmm not exactly..I told u na..I'm in search of something..I have a dream,I'm behind that.he smiled.What dream?? I couldn't wait.Wait,he opened his Laptop,I sipped my Mojito,Waiter brought Chicken Nuggets.He turned the laptop screen towards me,A beautiful young lady.That was what i was expecting.But I was wrong,a power point presentation,he clicked on it. Front view of a restaurant,an amazing design,as I changed the slides I saw the interiors,the financial and marketing plans,the branding strategies,the designs.A restaurant? I asked.Yup, my dream.A restaurant in my great grandmothers land,a restaurant in a place where people come to forget everything,a restaurant in Goa,a restaurant where people come, not just to eat and drink,where people come to live,love,share,a restaurant with people can connect themselves.You sound so passionate.I said.Yes I am dude that's why I'm going to quit a super duper job. Your family,I mean your parents ,are they ok with this?I asked.Yes,Dad knows it.Good. so you must have saved enough money for this?? Hmm I worked for 12 years,this was my dream.I finished all my responsibilities.I saved for my family,even if I'm dead,my family wont face any probs..:) he winked.Now I'm on my own,time to live my life. How old are you?? I asked with out any shame.I have this problem,I'm curious about others age.34 He replied.You married?.I asked.Nup he replied.May I ask you why??,Joe if you love something,you have to sacrifice equal things for it.I dint get that,if you could full fill all your duties,If you could do this much,then I don't think marriage is a big deal,My voice was loud.Joe there are points where you have to fight yourself for two equally important things.You cant have both,one you have to sacrifice.No options left. So you had an affair?? I asked.Hmm he paused for a while.Yes it was not just an affair,we had decided to live together. Nitha is from your place,Chennai.he said.Hey I'm not from Chennai,I'm from Kerala I protested.I mean South da.he laughed.She was an interior designer,We met in London,fell in love,we both planned to live together,she was the perfect girl.We loved for 4 long years.She always assured me that,what ever steps I take in my life,what ever decisions I take,she would be with me.I never told her about my dream,I just wanted to surprise her.Her last birthday I planned to give her three surprises.I bought a flat in Delhi,just for two of us. I bought a diamond ring.On her birthday,I proposed her,she was crying she hugged me tight,kissed me.I gave her our flat's key,she couldn't believe herself.That night after the party,we went for a walk.I gave her the third surprise,I told her about my dream,I told her that Im going to quit my job.That didn't surprise her.In fact she was shocked.She asked whether Im serious.When I said yes,she said she needs time to think.One week we discussed about this.At last she told ,she cant think of marrying a restaurant owner.She wants to work,she preferred an investment banker to a hotel owner.I was shocked.her promises her assurance...he didn't finish. Then??? I was curious.We mutually parted.he sighed.Do you think You did the right thing??Its about priorities ryt?? I asked.Yes .It is.It still hurts me.but she loved me,but she couldn't love me completely.If I drop this dream to marry her,I may not be hurt,but I will regret,Now I feel the pain,I'm hurt.but I don't regret.He answered,I'm gonna sell that flat in Delhi.He smiled.His eyes were wet. Its 5.45,you gotta go right?? I stood up,nice meeting you Wayne.I shook his hand,he stood up.I will tell your story to my friends Wayne.How?? he chuckled.I don't know,I replied.But Ill definitely tell my friends. At least a few people will love you for your dreams,at least a few will pray for you brother.At least a few eyes will be wet thinking about your love.I hugged him,he patted my shoulder.I walked."Hey Joe" I stopped ,turned back.Take care of yourself man, he said.You too I smiled and walked towards Sam's restaurant. Krishnan and Jeswin were discussing something and laughing,Martin was sipping his beer and checking the photos we had taken,Jithin was settling the bills.Lets go,Its almost 6,where have you been Jithin asked.I dint answer.Louis, our driver was waiting outside.As the van moved I saw gypsies and lovers walking through the lane.Among these thousands of people I saw him. Some where far,I saw a birthday party,Wayne was waiting there with a diamond ring for some one.

November Rain

So hw do you know Mr.Verma???? Thanu sat on that black bean bag and asked.Mr.Verma???? It sounds so Old.he is hardly 32,i would prefer calling him Anand. I replied.Anand is shallow.Verma has got a punch. she smiled,but i found that smile too artificial.Well I met him on a shoot,he was working for my friends company's ad shoot. i replied. So you are from Calicut?? she asked.No I'm from Alleppey.But your Bikes no: KL11??? she was confused.K bad guess, i smiled.That's my room mates bike,he is from Calicut.Then you must be having a car,Thanu asked. Thanu its not your day i guess,Your guesses are going so wrong..i don't have a car,actually i don't own anything,i prefer using things, not owning them..like for rent,OWNERSHIP IS A HEAD ACHE, i smiled.Hmm. she maintained silence and replied."well said" . She was wearing a white kurta with green flowers ,a white leggings,curly hair,carelessly tied..wooden and metal jewelery... That was most beautiful drawing room i have ever seen in Thrissur. So tell me Joe.what can i do for you??she asked leaning back.I felt so uncomfortable in that velvet sofa.I don't know ,Ananad gave me your address & contact no: and asked me to meet you.I must be the worlds most embarrassed guest who doesnt know the purpose of his visit. K cool,ill call him she told,and stood up,walked towards the dining table to take her phone.By the way how old is your association with Verma,she asked. Hmm 9 or 10 months,i replied.Hmm that's it?? wonder in her voice,I know Verma for the last 7 years,he never sent any body to me,or never introduced me to any body saying that "he is my friend". Yea i remember,he dint tell me that your are his friend,he just asked me to meet a person called Thanu.I replied.She didn't like me insulting her long 7 years association with my 10 months association. You are over smart,she said.I know i smiled. He is not reachable,any way i have messaged him,so once he gets the message he will call back.Mean while i will get you some juice,she walked towards the fridge.Excuse me Thanu,She paused,Yes."Well if you don't mind ,can i get a cup of strong black coffee,i asked with out any shame. God ,you are the first demanding guest i have ever seen,U know why i offered juice?coz its already prepared.I'm too lazy. "You just show me the kitchen I'll make it by myself. i smiled.No I'm not that rude,any way you come to he kitchen,i don't know what you mean by strong coffee. You are a bad cook i guess,i said.May I know why?Thanu asked me adjusting the knob of her coffee maker.Its obvious ,your kitchen shows it. Some more sugar please,i smiled.May be one table spoon more.That's gonna be very sweet,i guess you said strong she replied. I like it strong and sweet. i said You are a photographer??she asked ,No i replied.Then painter??..well i do paint but thats not my profession. i said.Then why would he sent you to me??she murmured. So how old are you Thanu,i asked sipping my coffee.She was shocked. Hows that gonna affect you?? she sounded harsh.Well I'm just curious,i smiled.I don't reveal certain informations to Strangers,she replied.I don't mind what strangers think about me,i replied.Thanu looked at me.Im sorry Joe i didn't mean that,but... Dont worry Thanu,what ever you speak or do to me ,that will never affect your relation with Ananad,you can be rude if u wanna be. I didnt mean that,Thanu said.K My age is the problem right?? You guess.. she told Hmm you don't look more that 26 but Im sure you are not less than 29.I replied. Good.. impressed..this Sept ill be 30. You married??i asked..OH JOE YOU ASK TOO MUCH,WHY DO WANT TO KNOW ALL THESE.."just like that" i replied.K not yet..she answered. May i know why??i asked..She was irritated,You want some more coffee?she asked.Yes..but before that i would like to know the reason. No serious reasons,had been in a couple of relations,1st one dint work,2nd one we mutually parted.After that i got busy with my paintings,shows,exhibitions,auctions,shoots etc, i travel a lot so no time..YOU HAPPY?? she made a face. You did your master in Psychology right??i asked.Yup,but i dint wanna make it my career.When was your last exhibition,I asked.Last November ,in Bangalore.God i love Bangalore,she said.Who doesn't?? i asked.My parents she chuckled.They don't wanna live their in Bangalore. "You just talk to him,Im in a shoot.ill call you soon" she read Ananad's Meassage. k LETS TALK..I SAID we got back to the drawing room,i looked at the paintings,she is a genius. Parents wanna cum back to Kerala,Bur bro is settled there,he is a scientist.Sister in law is from Bangalore,so he wouldn't come back.She said. Where in Bangalore does your family stay?? I asked.Marthahally.she replied.Brand Factory ,I said.Yea absolutely..she smiled. Why cant you bring your parents here in Thrissur,I asked.I wont be here Joe.Today Im here,tomorrow I will be in Bangalore,Next week Culcutta,if I'm married or bring parents here, i wouldn't do all these. My brother,we are 8 years apart,he is more like a DAD.He wanted me to do some research on Psychology and go UK or US.He is a technical man and Im a creative girl.we never get along.He never understands.In fact I never had a Brother,I had two DADS..she laughed out. Wait Mr.Verma is calling she picked the call."Verma Your,Friend is here,the most irritating visitor i ever had,he dropped into my kitchen, forced me to make black coffee" HA HA k,ill do that".."You are in Mumbai ryt??k.. bye..she kept the call. He wants me to show you my works.she said. She had a beautiful collection of paintings and photographs.Photographs with paintings as back grounds.You work on Photos?? I asked,Yep ..Central image or character will be a photograph..look at this work..see this temple is the center..These trees,clouds,people.. all are paintings. Marvelous..i started admiring her. My phone vibrated,Anand's Message."ask her to show you the "November Rain"". Thanu,,I would like to see November rain.I said. Thanus face changed..who told you about that??she asked.Anand.. He just messaged me. Well that's one photograph i dint alter.its a very special pic.. She opened her safe,took one album.. Took out one big photo and gave it to me.I looked into that photo.. I WAS SHOCKED..FROZEN "YELLOW FLOWERS ON WET ROAD,NEAR TO A CEMETERY,NEXT TO A TREE,A DRENCHED GUY ,WITH LONG CURLY HAIRS TILL SHOULDER,AND THICK BEARD,IN LOOSE V NECK FULL SLEEVE T SHIRT,SPREADING HIS ARMS,LOOKING UP TO THE SKY EMBRACING THE DROPS" i dint speak..

"Never had a brother to remind me"..she smiled..for the first time i found her smile genuine.. I started my byke..reached the main road..i took my phone..dialled Anand Verma's no: But he was out of coverage area......

Rishi and Me

5 lakhs !!!!????...that too for a camera..you must be crazy to spend a whopping half million bucks to buy a camera,i told to myself,the gentleman standing in-front of me just smiled at me.

So you are a photographer ??i asked.He looked at me again,No !! Hobby."Jesus Christ !! a hobby worth 5 lakhs."Actually, I'm a business man,Rishi smiled,photography is a hobby,passion and much more".

Trimmed bald head with short gray hair,fair complexion,wrinkled cheeks,Military green V neck T shirt,slightly built body,Rugged jeans,branded flip flops,a huge camera pouch,pierced ears,a ray ban "outdoors man".trimmed french beard.He looked like some one i wanted to be after 25 years.Sir you are from?? i asked.I prefer Rishi to Sir,He winked.A man who is almost 25 years elder to me asking me to call him by his name.Hmm though I'm not comfortable i will do that,i smiled.I'm from Mysore.I guess you are interested in Photography he asked.Yes I am,I replied,but I prefer to be in front of the camera.HA HA that's cool,He suddenly turned his camera towards me and clicked.I looked super smart in those pics.

So u went inside the temple I asked,"No..I didn't come to Pray here..he said.Then what brings you here in "Thrissur Vadakkumnathan Temple".Dont tell me you drove all your way from Mysore to just take snaps.He smiled at me,magical smile.

You went inside?? he asked.No I'm not a Hindu.i replied.Then what brings you here Joe ?? HA HA good question,actually i love this place,i usually come here to spend my evenings.You Know this temple is in the middle of a 2 km Round road.So much of silence in the middle of a town,All the vehicles are rotating this temple.when ever i come here, i feel like sun,,with vehicles and people rotating and revolving around me like planets and satellites..

"Do you write Joe"?? he asked.Yes i do,but not books and all,i have a blog and i do write on social networking sites and all, that's it.i replied

Well you must write,you talk like a thinker.he patted my shoulder.Well that's a great compliment.But you still didn't tell me what brings you here.i was curious.

Well..After long pause he said,my wife likes this place a lot,She is from Thrissur,she believes in Lord Shiva.Oh good, so you are waiting for your wife right.??i asked.Yes he smiled and answered.I felt so proud for guessing it right.You are an atheist?? i asked.Ha ha No way man,I believe there is A super power,i know gods are there,but for the past few years,we are not in talking terms,though he was smiling his eyes were so serious.I started liking him for no reason.

You are too disorganized to be a banker,i know he was deviating the topic.Yes I am, I know it.I replied.No offense k,i meant you look like a media person,or a yea,i told you na a writer,a photographer .you do look like a creative person than a technical man.I must stay i have never seen a banker with a goatee.we both laughed out.

Nice coffee,he carefully sipped the steaming coffee in that disposable cup,You can find a lot of coffee sellers in bicycle inside this temple Ground after 4'o clock.i said.

Do you mind if i ask you some thing i asked.No Joe...You ask..he told.
Shall we walk i asked,he stood up.."Actually you are from Mysore and your wife is from Thrissur.....i stammered..

"Love Marriage Joe.." he smiled..Madras Christian college..She was my junior.I was the only guy who had an imported military bullet in that college,I was the only guy who dared to smoke inside that campus in-front of my seniors, i was the only guy who could get anything done in that college,Dad was filthy rich,brothers were in politics,police officers were regular visitors at my home.i lived like a prince.

He paused,then only i saw the marlboro packet in his hand.He opened his black Cielo car's door,kept his camera inside,i saw his wood land shoes inside the car.He locked the car.This is an old car right?? i asked.Yes i have an old benz too but my wife likes this one. ok then what happened?? i was so curios.

I lived like a prince. i had everything i wanted,those days i used to think that nothing could beat me,or nothing could make me weak.But one day i happened to read a poem in the college magazine,i was shocked when i realized that my eyeshad become wet, I wept reading that poem,i wanted to see the person who wrote that.

She was practicing classical dance when i saw her for the first time,wearing an Yellow half saree..I told her that i want to marry her,she dint speak a word,she left.One year we dint speak,we met many times but we never spoke.One fine morning she told me that her parents wont allow an interstate and inter-cast marriage.I asked whats her opinion.She said she loves me..The rest is history..I married her...his eyes were wet,i could see an young Turk crying reading a beautiful girls poem.

Now i want to meet that elegant lady who stole this great man's heart,Rishi are we getting late,I mean your wife.??never mind Joe she takes a lot of time..K so You drove all the way??i asked,Yes she enjoys long drives.

Any way nice meeting you Sir, sorry Rishi,,One more thing would like to know i said
What Joe.??he smiled..Sir your fight with the Gods??

You really wanna know ?? he asked,Yes,i was becoming serious.

Don't you wanna see my wife??Rrishi asked..

Yes i would love to...i replied..

He pointed his finger to the twilight Sun..

There she is Joe..

For the past few years i don't pray to Gods..They took her from me..

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome..He smiled

I couldn't talk..Then why are you here?? i asked

Today is my Birthday..she used to come here,in this temple on all my birthdays..

I walked towards him,,I hugged him.."HAPPY BIRTHDAY RISHI"..he hugged me tight..I could see a Lady wearing an yellow half saree smiling at us.....

Night bus & lone girl

Every one surrounded the conductor,the driver was shivering,he sat on a cement slab."Sir everything ok"?? i asked the driver,,He raised his head n looked at me,he was sweating..if this had happened before this junction or in a straight road,we all would have died, he said.Now Im the one who got shocked,i searched for another cement slab 2 sit.but i couldn't find one.Oh God..I looked at the front left tyre of the bus.Tyre burst accidents are so dangerous..

You call the nearest Depot and arrange a bus,we should reach Trivandrum, one guy was almost yelling at the conductor."that's not possible,lets wait for the next Trivandrum bus to come,Ill make the arrangements,conductor said.

Other than the drivers comment,everything else sounded so cool to me,neither I'm in a hurry nor i have so many kilometers to travel.I just need to reach kaloor,almost 30 minutes travel from Angamaly,From there my friend will come to pick me,we will have food from some good restaurant.so ill wait for a low floor a/c bus.i don't belong to this havoc.

That girl again smiled at me.She was sitting on the side by seat in the previous bus.The dilemma of deciding the dishes for my dinner dint allow me to react to her smile.I saw her walking towards the conductor,they talked some thing.She walked towards me.Blue Nike T shirt with a white swoosh and "DO IT" writing,ash hooded sweat shirt,a big luggage and a small carry bag, converse shoes,colored hair."sorry i cant speak or read malayalam,will a get a bus if i wait here" she was worried.

Do i look like a station master ??i asked my self.I left the thought of food,"k where you wanna go"?? she paused for a moment ,"ALLEPPEY". Oh my place..where in ALLEPPEY ?? I wanted to ask,but unwanted quest can lead to huge responsibilities.

K The thing is that ,if u wait here you can get into the next Trivandrum or Allappey bus with this same ticket.i said.Will i get a seat?? she asked,I'm not a fortune teller,as usual this was also a mental dialogue.."I'm not sure..usually buses will be crowded at this time..i said with out any mercy. Shit,shit shit..she murmured.being the only female passenger without a male companion,she has got all the rights to worry at 8.45pm at a junction in Kerala.

A green bus arrived,Trivandum Express,fully crowded,everyone rushed towards the door,almost everyone got into the bus.The conductors talked each other and exchanged some papers.The bus left ,3 PEOPLE remained,conductor,Joe Thomas and The "DO IT" girl."How will you go" The conductor asked me,Ill take an A/c bus to Kaloor.K he replied and you madam??? will this a/c bus go to Ernakulam?she asked the conductor."Yes" He replied,"will i get an allappey bus from There?? she asked,he sed "Yes",Then I will go with him she replied.."WHAT?? GO WITH HIM??? I was shocked.

Conductor left,Low floor bus came.
She opened her purse,i peeped into it.One Ernakulam and one Kaloor,she got the tickets.."WHY WOULD YOU TAKE MY TICKET" I SHOUTED..chill jus a matter of 20 bucks.don't be a male chauvinist she said."Jesus what should i tell her".

By the way Im Sandra,Sandra Issac,working as a business analyst in Chennai.She introduced herself.Im Stephen..a freelance writer I replied,Cool,any way thanks for giving me company,I kinda feel safe now.MEN stare at girls in Kerala..Cheap real cheap.She was bitching about mallu men to another mallu man.It happens i just shrugged.She talked a lot,about tamil movies,,cuisines,her Kerala connections, etc etc.

2more Kms to KALOOR.she read the sign board,so its time for you to leave she sighed..Yea I said.

Stephen I'm extremely sorry i want to tell you something..she was sad.

I know what you are going to tell,i replied ,what??she asked

i took my bag and stood up

First thing that you are not going to Allappey
Second Thing Your name is Not Sandra Issac.I said,she was shocked,she gaped at me?? HOW DO U KNOW THAT??

First and foremost thing..the bus fare to Alappey from thrissur is 105 bucks,you gave a 100 buck and two 2 rs coin to the conductor in the first bus and he gave you 50 bucks back,,54 bucks ticket is to Ernakulam.

Secondly,A girl called Sandra Issac will never have Lord Krishnas photo inside her purse near to the mirror.i smiled.i know its real cheap to peep into a gals purse..

Stephen Im SO SORRY..I DONT BELIEVE GUYS THATS WHY...her eyes were filled..

Dont worry..u don't owe me an apology...its balanced...Cus MY NAME IS NOT STEPHEN N I'M NOT A FREELANCE WRITER..I SAID.n walked towards the door

THEN WHATS YOUR NAME..SHE ASKED

"KALOOR" The conductor said..the door got opened..i got down..bus moved..she was looking at me through the glass window..her eyes were filled...

the bus went away..i took my phone out..5 missed calls..n i din even know it..

Eric,Andrea & Paneer Mutter Masala

So u Indians like spicy dishes huh?Eric was almost weeping when he asked this.His eyes were filed with tears,his nose turned red.If you r not comfortable with spicy dishes,y did u order it?? i asked.

"Cuz the name sounded orgasmic" i was shocked when Andrea ,Erics gal fren answered...i looked at the menu "Paneer Mutter Masala".but for me the name sounded like an old auto rickshaw starting voice"....Her face had turned red,she was wiping her tears with her left hand.

So dude u work in bank?? Eric asked.Yep i answered
Good man ,its cool..but u know man banking in our country, it got screwed up man,it really got screwed up,Eric was weeping,i wondered. are dEs tears cuz of Paneer Mutter Masala or cuz of the US banking sector.

I know Eric,"Sub prime Mortgage Crisis".i answered humbly..Eric was surprised,See Andy See,HE IS GOOD,HE IS TOO GOOD,he shouted.People at Bharath restaurant stared at me as they thought i was trying to steal A foreigners purse.

No wonder man,no wonder u r a banker at this age,no wonder..Eric cried.
No wonder your banking is screwed up,i said to myself,Cuz u ppl r so bad at analyzing people,i crash landed in bank,n u r saying i deserve this.No Wonder u ppl cudnt recognize ur future loan defaulters.I dint say this to him,i sed this to myself.

But recession really hit below d belt ryt? u know India is only country which could face it properly,we dint get much affected.Its just because of our strict financial policies Eric,now i have all d rights to lecture Eric and Andrea.

"""Screw it man..SCREW IT. it aint abt any f****ng policies, u knw wat actualy happened in US??Eric gulped a glass of hot water.U knw wt happened there.
Some"""" M*$*#* f****ing Bast***s""" took sum bucks from the bank and din pay it back,,they cheated the jackass bank officers by showing some f****ng fake papers.The jack ass idiots who sAt behind the desk,couldn't evaluate the actual value of the land.n they gave money to those Bas****s and couldn't get in back and
WE ALL GOT F****D IN THE A##.""

"ERIC YOU HAD TO FLY ACROSS OCEANS WITH YOUR 5ft 10 inch GIRL FRIEND TO ENLIGHTEN ME"

THE MOMENT YOU DECIDED TO HAVE BUTTER NAAN AND PANEER MUTTER MASLA AND FILTER COFFEE FROM THRISSUR BHARATH RESTAURANT,,THAT MOMENT WILL ALWAYS REMAIN SPECIAL IN MY LIFE....
