At the beginning with you
At The Beginning
For all those who matter, you know what I am tlaking about, who I am talking about and what I am saying ..Shit! I miss you guys ...
P.S Highlighted all our favoutire lines :)
We were strangers starting out on our journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope
you were there to remind me
This is the start
(chorus)And Life is a road
and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there whenthe storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
(chorus)I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
I know that my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
(chorus)In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you

10 NRI habits which PISS ME OFF !
10) Complain about the incessant heat!
After 3 months in the US, you come to India for 3 days and suddenly you can’t deal with the temperature? You friggin lived here for the first 25 years of your life!! Remember?
What is even more pissing off, is that the provincial gulf-returns, from Qwait, Dubai Muscat who complain about the heat? Yeah sure, it’s snowing there in the dessert?
9) The act of surprise!!
Oh wow, you actually get Coke in India? You have a Marks and Spencers? There is KFC here!! Man!! This place has really changed!!
No we are still 350 years behind, we are the land of snake-charmers and elephants , remember ?
8) Their constant need for mineral water!
Believe me, you don’t have to start every sentence with “ Is this water boiled?” remember the times in school and college where u ate off a pushcart, a la’ Kaiyandhi Bhavan? And contrary to your belief, we Indians do not have a penchant for contracting deadly diseases and so (surprise!) we try and drink water, which is safe!
7) The dismay at power-cuts!! Friggin India.. Still so backward!!
Yeah we do have power-cuts, so what now? At least we have safe neighborhoods, which is more than what I can say about your countries! And yeah just for your information, we don’t particularly love power-cuts and black-outs either, and believe me ..it is really not as bad as it was 5 years ago, so just shut up !
6) Their universal proclamation : Indian politics is all shit….. ugh!
You are living in the country where Bush is serving a second term and Arnold Schwarzenegger is a governor!! Really … you shouldn’t be talking!!
5) Their really mixed-up, annoying fashion sense
Yes I understand that you just discovered banana republic and GAP but no I do not understand how you could possibly think that wearing a $100 T-shirt with bright red shorts and teaming it rubber chappals from BATA is ‘cool’!
4) Sudden love towards ‘spiritual enlightenment’
We all know that you are not spiritual, who uou trying to fool now ? You never ever learnt Yoga the figgin 25 years you stayed and it’s not like you religiously hit the temple everyday either ..and suddenly you become foren-return and start preaching bout the benefits of Osho, Ravi Shankar, Yoga and want to make a trip to half a dozen temples to study spiritualism ..
3) The fact that they come back to India looking for a wife
If you so want an American life.. then why not an American wife ?? You have all the fun in the world and then unfailingly come back every year because you want a nice, obedient and yeah HOMELY ( wht the hell does that mean ? )Indian woman!! And then complain about her not being broad-minded and open and bla!! I mean make up your mind .. you want homely or non-homely .. ugh .. whatever !!
2) Health food fad !
Is this low-fat? Is that low-cal ? for heaven’s sake you spent 25 years gorging on oily parathas and eating rasam-sadham dripping with ghee and lapped it all up quite well!
1) THEIR STUPID FAKE ACCENT!
I don’t understand this … you send 25 years In India without acquiring an “indian accent” but you pick up an American accent in just 15 days !! Whats worse is the rare breed of people who pick up Brit-accents after staying in the US , American accents in Dubai ( shouldn’t you be picking up a mallu accent then) and yeah the Whooper … Brit accents after short 2-days official tours to the UK !
Note: the author ( yours truly) doesn’t have anything against NRIs and I really don’t think all of them are that bad, but please if you have made more than 3 out the top 10 listed statements at least 25 + times during your 3-day visit to India, Time to go drown your head in a bucket of cold water :) ( Eeeerrrr.. m not saying what I really wanted to say .. but well ! )

10 ways to figure out you have become FAT
10 ways to figure out you are FAT
10) People begin to refer to you as a well ‘normal-size’ as opposed to the previous ‘skinny’ and ‘slim’.
9) Despite sucking your breath in, you still can’t pull your 26-inch levis above your thighs.
8) You prefer ‘smart Indo-western’ wear to the usual ‘jeans and t-shirts’.
7) Fat people say things like “ Lets hit the gym together” or “We should really get into shape”
6) You religiously swap to “DIET COKE” – like it is going to make a difference!
5) You turn your nose up at skinny jeans and leggings even though they are in vogue , because you think – “they look silly”
4) You spend a bomb on a body-sculpting corset and then don’t wear it because it gets uncomfortably tight after lunch.
3) You stop looking into the mirror as often as you used to.
2) You look at old pictures and exclaim loudly “ I was so skinny” , you also stare at other slim women and classify them as ‘anorexic’
1) YOUR GRANDMOTHER FINALLY BEGINS TO APPROVE OF YOUR SIZE AND SAYS – AH! NOW YOU LOOK NICE! ( A sure sign of loads of extra flab)
If you experience even five of the above ten symptoms, it’s well.. Time to hit the gym!
