he s all that n more

pepe a.k.a "soo-soo" boy :)

ask me what I did on V-day ... It was expensive !

ok so I ve never really ever done anything on V-day before. But a lot did happen today !

I havent talked about this here yet, but I got a new black Cocker Spanial puppy about ten days ago. After calling him scottie, schumi, snoop dog, black dog, steven tyler, and obama, I finally settled for naming him PEPE. Oh its been fun, but a lot of work for mom and me. A major part of our day now involves cleaning up his pee and poop off the floor of every room in the house(his potty training needs a big upgrade). We ve tried a million tricks to coax him into doing his bussiness outdoors, including pouring water down his back legs and saying "do soo-soo" in the garden, but nothings worked yet. We finally just take him out every hour and stand around until his bladder co-operates !
Pepe darling s quite a looker, with his droopy chocolate brown eyes, jet black coat, silly walk, tiny tail, and seriously over grown ears, but he s got more than his share of bad habits ! From peeing indoors, to barking the roof down if he s left alone for even a second, to scratching the polish off the front door when he s left outside, to refusing to answer to his name, to eating unhealthy berries and rocks from the graden floor, to disturbing the cat when he napping, to begging for food permanently, to clumsily knocking things over. He s a serious trial on anyone's patience ! The worst of it is that he has a biting-habit. He tends to snap at your fingers if u make any sharp movements (he thinks its a game).
Ok I ll stop degressing. The point is that I got bitten, and the cut started bleeding :(
Wait ! It gets worse . He hasnt had his anti-rabies shots yet !
So I had to go get the anti rabies shots today at the hospital. Painful Painful Painful ! And it was so expensive, 20K for the first day(today), and I ve another dose scheduled for the 17th and then the 25th, and if the dog starts to show symptoms, then the vaccines have to continue ! I had a good mind to just tell the doctor I d rather take my chance with the virus, but my mom would'nt hear of it ! So this is my V-day story .... exciting, expensive, painful, and a serious injury to my dad s bank balance !

v-day !

my life , my love , my liberty .... watch "times now" now !
Priyankaa wishes that ram sena, shiv sena, muthalik n the rest of the losers would just GO-TO-HELL !!!

For some SUV, I think Tata Safari Dicor

Theme :

Good looking guy, out in rough weather. Alone with his car. First in a tent off the side of a cliff. Then bursting the surface of an isolated waterfall. Then trekking. No habitation in sight. He looks super content !

  • If you look back at your life what would you remember ?
  • A corner office ?
  • The VIP lounge ?
  • ....
  • Tata Safari Dicor... Reclaim your life !
Intended Audience Reaction :
The audience comes back from a hard day in an air-conditioned office, switches on the tv, catches "the ad" ....... Introspects. Decides to buy an SUV (hopefully a Tata Safari) , so that they can also go live like nomads and reclaim their lives from the horrible corporate lifestyle, a major portion of which involves sitting in front of a laptop sipping over priced coffee, in VIP lounges and Corner offices.

My parents' Reaction:
Whaaaat? I cant understand the ad. Whats the corner office got to do with the waterfall??? (Question is directed at me)

My reaction:
(Dazed)
Sigh! I'd be so happy if I looked back at my life and remembered only corner offices and VIP lounges.

Shocked

Bill in US Senate to cap H1B visas

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6: An amendment seeking to bar American companies, which receive Federal bailout money, from hiring H-1B visa holders has been introduced in the US Senate. The amendment to the US economic stimulus bill has been co-sponsored by the Iowa Senator, Mr Chuck Grassley and Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont. Indian IT professionals, who have been the major beneficiaries of the American H-1B visa programme, could be adversely impacted if the amendment gets the Senate nod. "Companies going through layoffs that employ (H-1B visa-holding workers) have a moral obligation to protect American workers by putting them first during these difficult times," Mr Sanders told the Senate. Under the amendment, there would be a suspension of H-1B programme of any institution, receiving bailout funds, for one year. n PTI
