Bees saal baad..

Bees Saal Baad..The last two movies that carried this name were scary stuff or at least meant to be. The first of course was a classic for those times. I suspect the Hitchcock factor will apply to those of us who have volunteered themselves into this reunion. Receding hairlines, grey hair, pot bellies , slightly overweight ?? Who will look like what ?? Scary stuff all right..

Physical changes, mental changes, lifestyle changes...for some of us it may well be "..jaane kahaan gaye vo din..." ...and for others "....abhi to main jawaan hoon..." name puns unintended !

But it will be good to meet up, tease each other about all of the above , raid the SAC , and get to be together again. Just like old times.. or would it be ??

Intezaar, aur thoda intezaar....

 

 

hi great job

Blondie,

This is a great start.

BTW you seem to be getting younger day by day. Have you changed your specs. Who is the old man standing next you. He appears to have a familiar look.

 

Koshy

The beauties, the beasts and the downright hooligans!

Guys
I have exhausted my supply of photos and one-liners.
Need more of you to join in.
Please do.
Cheers
Blondie

Hi Blondie and Indu:

With age catching up, we will also be having our Bones Apart in due course. Great of you to remember.

As Project partners to Ram-Indu, Rohit-Jaya, I stuck out like a sore thumb. In fact, more like a Kabab-mein-haddi! I used to get  irritated as you guys normally vanished off in the afternoons. I remember sticking a note on your door. I 'nd U will meet for the Project at 2pm!

Here are a few captions, I've come up with since then…

When Sonia unexpectedly put Manmohan on the throne, I said "Sonia yet Sofa"

We market Plastic Pallets and our target is to get people to switch from wooden pallets. Our ad campaigns run as follows. "Let us not chop woods, to store our goods". Another one says "If I could, I never WOOD"

Our extra light Pallets are captioned "Light Delights"

We make Electrical Meter Boxes out of Fibre Glasss (called SMC): "Our SMC is a Glass Apart", "Ham Shock se kaam karte Hain". They help save Power and therefore "Bijli Giri, yahan Bijli Giri"

Our Tanks are made of virgin Plastics and therefore, it "Paani without Haani!"

We position our plastic chemical tanks against metal ones. "Rest Assured or Rust Assured?"

Our manufacturing process is Rotational Molding. For a seminar, I used "Revolution from Rotation". In fact, this caption became an International Seminar theme.

Yes guys, I am waiting to soak in the Rasam (and Auntys Chai). And of course, meet you'll too.

Anyone to take on the old man in Baddy singles? And what about squash?

Venky

Cake and birthday bumps tonight! Happy B'day, Neel!

Had we been back at IIM, we would have woken him and bumped him till kindgom come.

Come to think of it, we can do the same right here in Singapore ;-)

Happy birthday tomorrow, Neel!

 

:)

Blondie & Indu

P.S. - Sorry for the recycled cake, it's the only picture we had!

 

 

 

Happy Earth Hour, for the next generation!

What did you guys do?
I will be in a plane.
Hope the pilot keeps the lights on.
Cheers
Blondie

Testing email blog post from ho chi minh airport

Hmmm

Ram - This is an excellent way of embodying desperation. This is so difficult to blog onto compared to other methods. You will indeed further Desperation in more ways than one. And how about living to your name of signing off with real name.

Shireesh

Making a blank call!!!!

Only wine gets better with age... masks anyone?

And now, I just can't stop!

Just a quick one before I and reheat 5 day old food in my lonely ho chi minh apartment.... I plan to email instructions through the yahoo groups email on how to log in and post to this blog. If any of you don't get them, please email me on ram.kapoor@gmail.com
Hope some of you will contribute your thoughts, photos, money etc... so we can give desperation a new lease of life. Or give life a new sense of desperation. Whatever. I'll leave it to Venky to write the really smart ones. (I still remeber his remark on my fracture - Even Napoleon Had A Bone Apart!)
See you all on the 10th. If I don't recognise any of you, just call it Alzheimer's. Am slightly ahead of my time ;-)

Before dinner? Or after the reunion?

I signed up for this blog weeks ago. Kept thinking I would embellish it before unleashing it on the unsuspecting world of ex-iimb folk. And so, like most things in my life, it kept hanging in my cupboard. (You'd be surprised at the number of skeletons it had for company.) And now I realise, there are less than two weeks left for the reunion... which gives very little time for the blog to get a life of its own!
To cut a long story short,
