Olympics Has Begun!

How you all doing?
Well life's moving slowly on my side (Apart from shopping) and so is in the rest of Dubai. It's Ramadan and I barely get to see much of traffic all around until late nights even at the famous avenues. But London is in all sorts of hurry!
Yess! 2012 London Olympics has finally BeGun (Man Style)! and what an amazing opening ceremony it was... Amazing fireworks (I always love fireworks), Brilliant performances(I dint gave a shit though..:P) and the parade was good too! (still Don't understand why they were in a hurry) and the controversial inclusion of anonymous in Indian parade team (India and controversies are never apart).

For a moment I still can't believe that Olympics are back after 4 years, I mean I still have those images of Abhinav Bindra winning gold in 10m air pistol back in my mind, Its as if it was just a few days back. I wonder if earth is gaining some pace revolving around sun.

Well it looks like I don't need to plan my next 15 days, I was sitting right in front of the T.V for almost 6-7 hours yesterday and was still a bit angry when Dad switched it off at almost midnight because I wasn't letting anyone sleep... *Evil laugh*

It was an action packed day yesterday with most of the Indian athletes Unexpectedly letting others expectations down  but the biggest shock to me came when one of my favourite Michael Phelps failed to win a medal in 400m freestyle.(Is this the end of his era?). Well I'm supporting US just because they are the ones who can beat China in overall medal tally.

Ps to Anthropists: Koi Hai??? yoohoooo!

Excite-me-n(o)t = Excitement for me!

Howdy readers!

So this is an incident that doesn’t usually happen…I have noticed it all the time that whenever something special happens to me…It kind of becomes more special …in a funny way, for example…I was the lead character in one of the plays I did…and everyone had a mic…just me without one…someone had to enter in midst of the play to give me the mic!...the curtain guy slept in the one previous to this one!...my first stage performance as a singer…well…I had the mic this time…STOPPED WORKING as soon as I started singing…amazing!...people laughed at me…and I had to continue to sing…coz the karaoke was playing in the background!

So apart from those and lots n lots of other stories…something happened on this Tuesday…u knw the city radio…over here in Dubai we have so many stations…and one of them is city 101.6…now these guyz asked me a question…well…to all but u know when u are alone in the room and the radio is playing…u feel as if the girl with the heavenly voice is solely talking to u…so this girl asks a fairly simple question…and I answer it via sms…and after some 2 minutes…she calls “ME” on the cell…that is…off air…and this is what happened!

Tia (the radio girl) : hey…

Me: hello…:S

Tia : may I speak to Mr. Rajesh please…

Me: What?...ohh Rajesh…yeah that’s me.(Not used to Mr, & I kinda get nervous with new girls on the phone…:P)

Tia : hehe…yeah so u have won the gift hamper worth of 300 AED …

Me : hmm…Thank u…

Tia : you have WON this PRIZE!!!

Me : yeh…thank u very much ( in a voice which felt like…somebody just died…NERVOUS!)

Tia : I am giving u a prize and u are sounding so low!...c’mon this is not fair!

Me : ohh...no actually that’s the way I sound…

Tia : No…listen…when I put you on air…you have to sound excited or else I will be in trouble…allryt?

Me : ohh…ok. No probs…I will try my level best!

Tia : ok fine…wait up…

So now this song is playing in the backdrop and after it ends she is just doing her job, giving info about the artist and all and was about to introduce me…meanwhile I thought of practicing the excitement…or to just act like I was… without knowing tht she put me on air without telling me…so this happens…

Tia : so this song was by shamur (let the music play) and he’s quiet popular even now because...

Me : (interrupting)HEYY TIAAAAAAA!!!

Tia : Wht the!!……heyyy!!!...who’s that:S??

Me : huh?...YEYY!!! it’s Rajesh…(just watch the excitement…lol)

Tia : alright…rajesh…y are u so excited?...(haha…I literally laughed…first she was like u are dull now excited?)

Me : hehe…no actually whenever I talk to city 1016 I get excited…(I had to use it to save myself coz to make them happy this is the last thing u can do! And it always works)

She asked the question again on air…and I answered and then she announced the prize…

Tia : congratulations Rajesh…you get a 300 dirham gift voucher to go n buy BLANKETS for you!

Me : (what? Blankets? but…since I had to sound excited!) YEYYY!!!(now this Yeyy literally sounded like I am scolding someone…YEY!!!...haha)

And the nightmare for me ended…but never the less I won something to cover myself up for the rest of Dubai…! BLANKETS!!!

This post is solely dedicated to the team of city 1016 and especially...TIAAAA!!!

It finally opens tonight!!!

Hiya!
Burj dubai is stated to open tonight...big deal?...well...for the arabs it is. After half of the world working to build it, and the rest half waiting for it to be built...here we are...a needle like structure poking out of the earth...looking like an antennae to connect to the aliens...will come to life tonight!
The thing is some 800mts tall...now who would like his office at such a height? whre the oxygen level too seems to drop...and it's equipped with the world's fastest lift...so everytime u go up and down u feel the thrill...i think one of the lifts is going to be used as a ride! ( the PRIDE RIDE...haha) and yeah didn't i tell ya?...
It is being hailed as the pride of the nation...hmm...what work have the arabs done in it to be PROUD of it???(besides paying petrol money offcourse) It's like I order the biggest set of gold and diamonds and showcase it like my PRIDE...! But the good thing about this is that they become famous...more tourists...more money...more antennaes? is it? or more encroachment on the land of sea?
These guyz know how to be in the news alwayz..."hey, let's become famous...but how?...hmm why don't we build the largest tower in the world?..great idea!" They are like the arabian bratz!
But sometimes they tend to do some useful stuff under this array of spending oil money...the dubai metro is one such example. Anyways...let them spend as much as they can...one day they will have to sell dates again...and take camels up and down burj dubai and dive deep inside from the palms to dig pearls...and again indian currency would be used:P
Take care people...! BUBYE
