a proposal,a cake and a catastrophe.

"you drive me crazy!
but it just can't be
am so excited
i meant to be
o o o craaazy!
but it feels allright
baby thinking of you keeps me up all night.!!!!!



It is a known fact,that I drive people crazy. Er..well, not necessarily in the sense that Britney says it. But yeah,the fact remains I am enough to make perfectly sane people go crazy in a matter of seconds. My babbling alone have done damages that wrecked people's lives. for instance, I was at my friend's house recently. She was all set to unleash her culinary skills on me, by baking a cake. She read off the recipe from her mobile, and i assisted her. If looks could kill, we both would have daisies growing on our graves by now. Her mom looked on helplessly while we raided her kitchen. I did my share of the work-entertainment. i gossiped on, filled her with news from all around our world,pausing only to taste the "cake" during the various stages of its production. Apparently as a result (of my babbling and tasting) my friend "lost" her concentration and the cake ended up being a pudding. Did you feel earth shaking sometime around mid afternoon on the 4th of June? yup. that was her. sheesh. hell hath no fury than a woman who just failed to bake a cake.

Now. That is not what i wanted to blog about. if you will just give me a minute to forget the painful memories of baking i mean ..assisting to bake a cake...

(2 seconds in reverence for the cake that couldn't be. Amen)

OK. now my fellow earthlings, carbon based bipeds, this post is about how i "drive" people crazy.
Once upon a time, there lived a poor,(snort) innocent,(snort) c.b.b. like you and me.By divine intervention, he became a vehicle inspector.Insurance people cursed him every time when they got a chance[ yaarada evanokke vandi odikkan license koduthathu!!- who gave these idiots license to drive?]. One lousy rainy day,he found himself in the passenger seat of a worn out WagonR older than my grandfather, with me in the driver's seat. his face wore an expression that said "why-me-oh-merciful-God." i wore a similar expression on my face too. Come to think of it, the other three people on that car wore the exact same expression.

lets just say we all saw our entire lives flash before our eyes within a span of minutes.

Now- I have some good news and some bad news.

I got my driver's license.

All those who asked "and what's the good news?" please- see that cute red button on the top right corner? click it.

Now, for all those who congratulated me and have proceeded to biting their nails- Its pretty bad. the news has left me shaken too. But i must say this. It will save you a shock....

Archie Andrews pops up the question-to Veronica Lodge!!!!

I am in a shock. Please- I can't say anymore. I feel the pain Betty. You know what? Am giving you the title "Damsel In Distress" for a while. And to any knights around-you know what to do.

All those who missed me in blogs ville, say "aye".





P.S. women suck at driving. I know that's the popular belief. what say girls, we will just let these men believe so, right? We are way above such petty beliefs.

'Get rich or die trying' Archie followed it and hence popped the question to Ronnie.
Smart move!
Any damsels that need rescuing, behold, your Knight in shining armour(ahem! yours truly) is hither!

'Live and let live' dear author. Why ruin that perfectly good cake.Can't cook so won't let others?
Tch!

Tch! They give licenses to anybody these days.

On a positive note, Welcome back! :)

Congrats on your license. I have a huge respect for licensed people, as i havent got one yet , being all of 21.
Anyhow..that news was a shock! Archie's marrying Veronica? I always thought Betty was the more sensible and sincere of them.My heart aches.

Quest said...

For some days now its 'I drive like crazy' with me :D

I didnt see a red button on the top right? Was it a button for the exit or am I red-color blind?

Aye
So whats the first prize for saying 2 aye ? :D

You got your license so welcome to the big bad world of worse roads and buses :D

@phatso

oye..i know. they are blaming recession for archie's decision. my heart aches for betty. she deserves far better than archie..but still,we all know how much she loved archie. she deserved happiness..she deserved the best too..maybe in a sense she was saved. but..but..but...what abt true love?

appo license kitti alle.. ini kannumadachu angu iranguka.. pinne, eppolegilum pedi thoniyal kannadachu enne dyanikkkuka.. pinne ethu vaziyum odikkam :)

Driving have nothing to do with gender - I have seen excellent drivers in both genders - it is all with the individual.

once i was coming from eranakulam to kodungalloor. Time was 7 pm, adn i got a ekm-gvr private ltd stop, which was ending itz trip at kodungalloor... there was not much rush and teh bus was practically flying. the driver was wearing a bandana, and was very confidently driving the bus - it took less than 1 hour to reach kodungalloor, and whn the bus reached kdlr bus stand, the driver removed the bandana, and it was a lady... and man, i am sure, she could have given a run for any guys money...

Shanu said...

hey babe..tumne pukara aur hum chale aaye..but then realised i have already commented on this post :)

Btw..new look to ur blog? I like :)

BrownPhantom said...

Congratulations for getting the license honestly. Only one in my circle has managed to do so and has been named Basanti since then (Rang De Basanti inspired).

Tell the truth, aren't you hoping that Archie would chicken out and run back to Betty.

Thoughton said...

oh so u were also missin in action ey lady? nd u return with a license to kill? wonderful! congrats on dat one.. when i got mine and tried takin achan's vandi out, an auto chettan overtook me and asked me to get out of the road and go drive around on my porch... hurrrummfff... the difference is this girl.. we women drive too carefully.. and end up being a nuisance on the road.. men drive reckless... and get lucky all the time... more hurrrummpfff!!!
