Hey Folks..close to one year since I wrote in here and I think my blog might have gotten around to missing me sometime at least. Not that my life has been uneventful or anything like that, in fact, it's been quite on the contrary actually..running like never before..the million assignments and exams and presentations (not really a million but those who know about Saggi exaggerations..will understand?..:-)..Wrote a couple of poems, a trifle abstract and complex and both incidentally during two boring MBA lectures( with due apologies to my profs if they're reading this too)..and a lot of mails too (God save those who got them though but I thought they asked for it..but if God's watching..here comes my apology..:-)..sorry dudes..) and I think I'll come up with some glossary kinda manual to help my readers read my stuff..which include some million highly customised short-forms and abbreviations n I know the pain ppl go thru to understand them..;-). Also on the cards is this book I'm planning to write on y experiences in Mumbai..aptly to be titled as "Of Bhelpuri and Vada Pav"...or something similar. Suggestions are of course welcome..
But right now, a brief intro to wht I am about to write. For those who've missed out the action in my life, I'm right now in Mumbai, doing my summer training in an esteemed company (I think the name's to be kept a secret..as per professional standards or something!!). I have this bunch of people who are with me from the elite B-Schools in India and who thankfully are not the obnoxious and snobbish kinds. rather, they are these enthusiasitc and awesomely funny chaps and chappettes (sorry Wren n Martin..but had to invent a word..!) and what I am about to do is this. Attach a list of some e-mails that were exchanged by two of us over our yahoogroup..just for kicks..nothing serious and nothing important. But worth a good laugh, especially if you are familiar with the Mumbaiya language and stuff..thought it might just make you smile a lil..

[D J AT IT AGAIN]
dear beloved ,
we r again gathered here this time to celebrate the renaming of dharavi slums as "Soum - Vihar" alias "the earth that bore her weight" ... from now on we would treat this location as a national heritage site under the protection of ASI (archilogical survey of india ..for the uninitiated ...) and SHRIMATI SOUMYA herself .. we would be arranging buses for pilgrims who would like to visit the site where "Her Highness" set foot from the "DHABA" (another smaller holy site where "Her Highness" visits regularly and causes miracles like sudden
disapperence of all food and the manager hides out of fear .. )... all those interested should mail her immideatly
yours truly ,
haklu halwaai
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope you understood bits and pieces and hope there was at least a sligh chilling out of your nerves and a slight relaxing of your grey cells!!
Shall try to be back with my poems a lil later..Have a great life.
