This Southpark episode probably comes in the later seasons. I have watched only till season 10 or 11. It was hilarious. Cartman with the WoW manual in his toilet reminds me of Marc insisting me and Ragha to read it via Guild messages. And the handing over of the sword in the end, I and Ragha had our share of pissing off Marc like that while trading in WoW.
It is all over the news. A flying Humanoid UFO was spotted over Mexican skylines in 2006. I tell it’s not Harry or Hermoine on a broomstick. No, Hagrid is too huge to match either. It’s Ragha. He was that fat in 2006.
And now we know of his strange disappearances often and the static noise whenever we try to call him on the phone.
So I made a deal with Ragha, that’s as bad as the deal with the Devil. I have taken over his blog temporarily for posting advertisements. He and Marc got updated to Page Rank 2. So Ragha is getting more opportunities. Only that he has more number of people to cheat, filch, swindle and maybe kill (free of cost) and he accepted my offer gratefully.
Now the Deal part. Whenever I grab an opportunity and post it, I get 30% of the money if it’s a less than $10 post, 40% if it’s more than or equal to $10 post and 50% if it’s my job to even update his blog with normal posts plus post advertisements. I think it’s a decent deal. The only question is how to get that money from Ragha.
Ha ha!! This is one more strip that will tell you why I love Dilbert comics so much. Remember George? Marc’s claim that he’s got superior upper body strength. This millennium man is so eerily similar to Marc and the reference to upper body strength had me in splits. For those who don’t remember, here’s Marc’s I wanna go rock climbing post. Hail Dogbert!
Finally, I finished watching two seasons of Heroes all at one go. It was interesting enough and it’s rumoured the next season won’t kick off until this fall. Apart from calling a South Indian Mohinder Suresh and all that what I didn’t like in the series is bringing defeated/dead characters back to life by regenerative blood transfusion or characters like Noah Bennett joining The Company again after trying to bring it down. I know Sylar is the one villain but it just doesn’t feel right bringing him back. I think season 1 was brilliant and they messed it a bit in the season 2 where the above relapses occur. I hope they get it right in season 3. Catch more about Heroes here. And did I tell you Sylar character looks somewhat like Marc.
Gabrielle ‘Sylar’ Gray
Marc ‘Murc’ Zephyrin
Get a driving license? Why, what for? I mean I already passed the stage of getting a license for myself, don’t you think? Besides, being a friend of Ragha how can I even possibly think of applying for a learner’s license. It’s conformism. Although I’m trying to learn how to drive against the oncoming traffic (blind folded) just like Ragha does, I know I’m a pretty good ‘responsible’ road user. Even if I get pulled up for not having one I wouldn’t say, ‘Ennaku IG ya theriyum’. I would say, ‘Ennaku Raghave theriyum’. If I survive that, it’s more worth it than having a license.
Honestly, getting a license should be made tough. It should make getting a pilot’s license look damp. Every aspiring road user should be tested rigorously and disciplined before he’s given a license. So that only a few of us drive peacefully.
Oops! Ragha did it again. He’s the new Principal of the Patrician college of arts and science. Yes, he has usurped the Principal’s chair in the college. And guess what, he’s become a Father too with all white robes and stuff. High Resolution photo, right Here . Enjoy!
Since a paper newsletter didn’t work, my college is going online. A couple of few weeks ago, two young journalists from Deccan Chronicle came to our college to enroll us in Papyrusclubs.com, a Deccan Chronicle initiative to bring together the newsletters of all schools and colleges. The thing is it’s made for schools. I don’t know why they had to club colleges along with schools. The events to be covered in colleges are very much larger in proportion as compared to schools. They have got 6 sections in the newsletter.
What ticked me off was the ridiculousness to limit the video section to only one 2 minute video. Anyway, there are a couple of good lecturers you like in colleges and you can’t say no to someone who’s really enthusiastic about the whole thing. And I figured I was hopelessly bored in class and I needed some good excuses for ODs. It turned out well until the lecturer asked me to go and interview the additional commissioner of police!! (his son’s studying in our college, by the way). I have to prepare some questions. Uncontroversial ones, you see. That makes it a lot harder. If you have any questions, post them here. I’ll think of a way to present them in such a way that he doesn’t grab me by the scruff and have my kneecaps bruised. They got nasty canes you know and I might end up compromising Ragha’s true identity.
Last night, I had the weirdest dream of my life. I don’t know how or why, I can’t seem to explain it. But I know one thing, you are not safe from Ragha, no matter even it’s in your dream. Here’s what unfolded in my dream.
Ragha’s normal. If you can say so that is. He gets erratic all of a sudden. He exhibits some unknown super powers, turns violent and more aggressive. He no longer remembers who or what he is. He starts destroying things, massive buildings topple at his raised hand, huge craters appear wherever he steps on earth, Tsunamis gulp towns because of his force fields. Just mindless destruction. Marc, Adhitya and others have either been killed trying to stop him or have fled. It’s vague here. I try to get to him and in some crazy, inexplicable dream sequence he remembers a part of his ‘normal’ past and me. I beg him to stop all the destruction. Ragha being Ragha refuses, says it is his destiny and some vague monologues (mokka) follow that is hard to put to words here. I challenge him to a duel on the condition that he uses none of his super powers on me and we fight it out like old times. The scene shifts to a hill top and there’s a deserted satellite station. We fight. Of course, I’m no match to Ragha’s brutal force. But I offer him no creamy pie ’cause you know the world’s future depends on the outcome of this fight. I use the force of my 49 kg body weight in one blow and he crashes into that deserted satellite station. Ragha’s weakness becomes apparent. He is easily affected by strong electromagnetic power. Even before I could exploit this weakness, in one crazy move (Ragha’s famous for that) he throws me off the cliff.
I woke up, in the middle of the night, shaking all over and my heart pounding furiously. It was 3:55 in the morning.
Edit: I just couldn’t let this off. It’s that drug I’m prescribed for my backache. Hallucination could be a side effect, it claims. But… it felt so real.
I have been suffering from mild to chronic backache for the past one year or so. Now, I have been diagnosed with L5 sacralisation. It’s a structural anomaly which is quite common. And with no treatment options whatsoever. With all this advancement in medical science, what a scam! I’m going regularly to the physiotherapist for a week now for my daily stretching and strengthening exercises. Regular strengthening exercises would suffice for my condition, doctor said. And also, to put some flesh on the bones and develop muscles. That’s the hardest part. What do I do? Everything tastes like mud.
I’m not really convinced by this whole structural anomaly thing. It’s mostly over exposure to Ragha that might have caused this. I dare you to go around on his bike with him. You will wish you could kiss the ground. Another victim who had his share of Ragha’s wild ride. You might be next!
