Chapter 3 : Hothead Responds

Continued from here.

He pressed the comm link button on the door. Willy slowly moved behind him.'Booo' Blue saidWhat they heard struck fear into their hearts like neither had ever experienced.

‘’Mokada Yako??’’…… The hothead’s retort popped a million questions into the less than average minds of poor Blue and will.

A few decades ago, when Viagra was neither invented nor required by will, he had majored in Archeology from the University of Colombo and the extra courses he took on the Sinhalese language left him with an in depth understanding of the origins of the Language. But he need not dig deep into his knowledge of the subject to realize that a hothead from Meepus could not possibly speak the language of his forefathers. Could it?

Er… wha.. wha.. what do we say? Will quizzed blue.

‘’Don’t panic you Idiot!’’ it might sense you’re fear… hell even I do!

Blue conjured up a ton of confidence and smoothly replied ‘’Ayubowan..!’’

There was silence in the room for a few moments that seemed to last an eternity.

Hotheads from meepus which require a couple of hundred Kalderon years to develop a fully functioning brain, which is the equivalent of 2 nano seconds on earth, have a tendency to be really intelligent when exposed to other inter galactic atmospheres. There are even rumors within high profile government intelligence agencies of a wormhole opening being at the root of a certain ‘’Theory or relativity’’.

Tragically for the new born hot head the blowing away of the ash on the right side of his brain had made it impossible for it to use its convertamorphis translatutory organ which was badly blown away. This made it impossible for him to learn intergalactic languages in a cohesive way which fed audible data into the convertamorphis translatutory organ in turn resulting in high speed adaptations to alien languages. The hotheads malfunctioning brain ensured that the audible data received were just spat out through his tubelular sucksion orifice.

‘’Maha Emathithuma, booruwek wage ke Gahanna epa…. Sirisa ekke ekathuwela karana weda api danne nehe kiyala hithuwada, Api konde bedapu Chinnoo neve harida do!!!!’’ The Hothead screamed!

Unknown to poor will and blue who were already terrified, the Hothead had tapped into a parliamentary discussion happening miles away through a meepusian process called ‘’eavesdropping’’ .

The full effect of the Viagra overdoes will had taken in just this morning was transcended by his sudden rush of blood from hearing what the Hothead had screamed.

‘’Ughh….’’ Poor will seemed to be gasping for Air.

There was a sudden thud on the wooden floor boards just outside the landing room as will suddenly lost consciousness, the rush of blood too much to bear.

Will!!!! Blue screamed…..

Bluetits rushed to Aid will, who was sprawled on the floor just a few feet away.


With Blue’s back turned on the hothead for a moment, the new born Meepusian lazily turned his head towards the laboratories right wing which contained a huge storage of ammonium hydroxide.

The hothead was now steadily reaching for the ammonium hydroxide containing right wing even as blue tried to shake will into consciousness…….

9.13 pm

Your voice resonates across the oceans
Calling me to dive into the murky blue
My spirit longs for the taste of your glory
The awe of your name on my lips

The rush of your warmth
Filling my heart with compassion
Living each moment, total dependence
I call unto you again

Won’t you take me in, call me by my name?
Let me know you go before me once again
Burning all doubt in the wake of your majesty
Help me conquer my own destiny

Here I am,
Here I am,
Let me shout out to you, give you everything I have

So here I am
Here I am,
God take me in your arms and let me fly, be all I can

Forever is just a whisper
In a long night of conversation
Help me to remember, the giver of my salvation
And in this moment in history
Unlock my spirit…. My Destiny, the promised Victory….

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE

Reading Sab's post here, i couldn't help but put this up.... a forward i received sometime back that got me cracking, i guess this should justify to a certain extent why men tend to have commitment issues, some at least..... This is something i guess what these ''some'' have to... commit to i guess.... *RPS been fired by women..... a certain rocket propelled shit*

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

What makes this the worst since 1929?

''This is part of a publication by the Economist, which paints a pretty grim picture for the world economy.... we already knew we were in deep trouble, but love the way they have quantified the extent to which we are in trouble with the use of a few masterly quoted statistics and forecasts''

The current crisis will be the worst since 1929-32. This is reflected in the following string of unenviable
records. If you need arguments in your budget/planning meetings for just how bad things are, here they
are:

• for the first time in 100 years or more, all the G-7 economies will report negative GDP growth;
• more countries will report negative and/or falling growth in 2009 than ever before in history;
• The granting of new loans at the start of 2009 is at their lowest level since 1930;
• US and UK treasury yields are the lowest they have been since 1945;
• UK interest rates at 1.5% (January 2009) are at their lowest level since 1694 when the Bank of
England was created;
• for the first time in 50 years German and Austrian bonds did not sell fully at first auctions;
• US job losses in 2008 totalled 2.5mn – the worst fall since 1945;
• the fall in stock market values globally in 2008 was the worst since 1929;
• the fall in values of emerging markets was the worst since 1945;
• the fall in commodity prices has been the steepest and quickest since records began in 1956;
• the rate of fall in transport costs have been the fastest in history. The Baltic Exchange Dry Index rose
from 2,000 points to 12,000 in 6 months during 2008 but then fell to below 2,000 in just 6 weeks;
• Container cargo trade between Asia and Europe has fallen for the first time in history;
• In November 2008 Japanese industrial output fell 8.1% month on month – the worst figure since
1953 (most global markets reported shocking industrial figures in November);
• the Japanese company Toyota reported its first profit loss in the company’s history;
• In the third quarter of 2007 Volvo trucks sold 41,970 trucks in western Europe; in the third quarter of
2008 they sold 115 trucks (a fall of 99.7%).

And worst of all, lipstick sales are up! It is a well known indicator that during economic crises, lipstick sales (and cosmetic sales overall) do well and often rise. This was first noted in 1929-32 and again in 2008 cosmetic sales held up well. This would seem to be due to women deciding they need to cheer themselves up and perhaps make themselves more attractive for their menfolk. This is a pleasing thought.

Alas the consumption of cheap alcohol also rises during crises, consumed mostly by men. Sadly the men may be more often too drunk to notice how pretty their womenfolk look.

Eduardo! Eduardo! - Gunnerific





A feeling so strong that i am finding it difficult to express the full extent of the emotion,

In a nutshell 2 words.... ''Fucking orgasmic''
Arsenal 4 - 0 Cardiff City

Why i'm this happy after going to bed at 4 am after watching Arsenal play Cardiff city on Justin TV on the net, coz star sports India are a bunch of arseholes one may wonder.....

1. It was ages since i saw Arsenal play the brand of football i love. Almost Brazilian, i guess the emirates hosting the friendly between Brazil and Italy a week earlier had somehow rubbed off on the grass some strange ability for the gunners to suddenly be quick on their feet.

2. Kick off to final whistle, attacking football.....

3. Aduardo!! He was clearly my fav strike partner for Van persie when he kind of broke his leg like crazy last feb, clinical finisher, henry like, Brazilian born, 2 goal performance last night....

4. Screw the media/Critics..... we're playing wit flair again!

5. Eduardo hugging fitness coach, the emotion......

6. The fans, singing Eduardo!! Eduardo!! most of the night.... 60,000 fans, need to get on a plane to London fast, and my cousin has the balls to say he passes the emirates everyday to work!

7. First win in 4 games,

** just wanna get drunk and just scream right now......... ** was singing F*** off Dhoni at the T20 last week, just wanna do a stirring rendition on ''F*** off Cardiff**, get back to fricking wales you bottom dwellers..... Manchester United..... we're...... coming...... after....... you..........

Kamikaze!

I can almost taste in the Air the feeling of how those brave japaneese pilots lined up to fly into pearl harbour. Never had something like this been tried before by them and all possibilities considered it was unlikely they would come out of it alive. Gulp! Gulp! Banzai Shot!! Banzai Shot!!

i've taken my own shot of vodka secretly stashed in the kitchen.... even as i flew into my own pearl harbour/Waterloo, my retarded naighbours evil Dog started to howl into the night Air as if making a warning shout trying to warn the blogsphere about the shit thats about to hit them, screw him!!

Yes.... i can't sing, not since a 2nd grade attempt of singing humpty dumpty have i lined up in public to wage vocal warfare on any audiance, seriously.... this is not my thing, strumming a few chords.... i can manage, merge the 2 and you are likely to get a pretty mediocre performance, but still.... i love this song like shit and Dee Cee showed us what bravery was all about today, but anyway.... here goes....

Bachelor War Cry

May we make light of this night
While girls and boys mingle
Make love and care never to be single
Watch the earth revolve, the sun go down
Wrapped in a transparent silo called Love

The worlds a buffet of beautiful beings
Each adds flavor to this cocktail of lust
To Salads and Fruits, why simply settle?
Red meat to fresh pickle, choose IF you must

To you my brethren
Of this mighty Bachelor Clan
Please seek out this divine freedom plan
No calls to answer, no alibis to give
Vindication not needed, you can be your own man!

So on this night while the blind make merry
Let us rejoice the light, a good ol bachelor Life
Buy your own beer, Sing your own Song
I hereby invite thee to a drunken celebration, a bachelor bash tonight!

Date – 14th February
Time – 7 pm…?
Location – Consensus required

The Emirates - North London





Got these Pics off the Offcial gunners website, Highbury was special and i always thought a modern stadium will not quite fill the void left by the old place so full and rich in history. But, the Emirates seems likes its catching up fast..... These pics are georgeous, wish i was in North London to catch the gunners live!

The Poverty of Nations

What started off as yet another random conversation about the system we live in ended up in arousing an interest in me to actually work for the World Bank and somehow eradicate unbalanced growth in today’s global economy…. Someday…..

The gist of the conversation I had with a haut Muslim blogger starts off like this….

Based on this movie, where it questions the current banking system which lends money to burrowers and expects an interest on the capital we can effectively say that if an amount X is injected into the system an amount X+ Interest is demanded back from it, (Think circular flow of money) meaning if the global economy is looked at in its entirety an amount is demanded back from it which previously did not exist. From where does the extra money come from??

You guessed it; the only way is for individual burrowers or beneficiaries of this financial system to pay back Capital plus interest is to take from the others to pay off their own debt. This system guarantees that some will default, foreclosures are a given and the players who know to play the system best wins. The rules of the game are created in the form of economic policy where one country maneuvers its way to prosperity at the cost of another. How well you know to play this system called capitalism will determine how rich you become. This is why continental Africa will almost never prosper, the current world order does not see itself benefitting by helping the continent boom. Instead it ravages its resources in such a way that maximum benefits are bestowed upon its own economies.

The bottom line is, some will be better at this game than others. This creates what the World Bank calls ‘’Unbalanced Growth’’. They even try to eradicate it I’ve learnt. As sad it seems entities like the World Bank and the IMF play a huge role in shaping the global economic landscape. Maybe there will be room for couple more economists who want to work towards the betterment of LDC’s.

From a macro level, economic policy and implementation will determine the injections and leakages of each individual country and the structure of it, either benefitting the country or being detrimental to it. At a micro level it gets even more interesting, corporations reap profits at the cost of consumers driven by greed who default on their mortgage payments or credit card bills. Is this not a system, capitalism…. Which ensures some will succeed and others will surely fail??

While my fellow blogger was more intent on finding a solution to this system and creating a better world, I have to admit I was more interested in mastering the system in its current form. However, working towards eradicating the inefficiencies of this system as a World Bank or IMF employee globe trotting across exotic countries does appeal to me…. Hhmm…

British Hooligans

You have got to admit it! The Average British Hooligan is the most admired of its kind. I mean think about it. A Sri Lankan or Indian version of this would be shunned away from society and forget about making movies about them and giving then the kinda coverage on tele. They are so much cooler!
It’s not the same when you hear an Indian say ‘’Hee is a furrking cunt’’ about an Aussie…. But that good ol British accent combining with eccentric facial expressions and sheer hatred towards anything better than they are at anything saying ‘’You F***ing CUNT!!’’ is amazing,

Hanging out long enough at locations like The Cricket Club or Cheers watching England being bowled out for 51, you are most likely to catch a glimpse of a whole bunch of these hooligans, educated ones at that!! Met a guy working at the British council once, doctorate in English???? WTF? His doctorate was put to sword as he blurted out an array of words that made him the ideal Hooligan similar to those found in grounds across Europe on away matches with the English football team on show. Enjoyed it though!!

Snatch!! Why do people love snatch??? The language….. The slang…..
Can’t wait for the day to join with a bunch of these guys and sing ‘’F*** OFF, Ashley Cole, he’s an F***ing asshole… repeat repeat…. ‘’

The Evil that men do

Daylight dawned upon existence
Only to light up the world to sin
Misguided right to freedom
Was choice a gift or a curse?

Concealing shame and birth in pain
Will we ever be the same again?
The creation of God, struck down by man
Had you not envisioned this destiny beforehand?

Littered skies, fallen angels
The upper ether a highway to earth
Engulfing man with carnal desire
A broken bridge, a relationship

Death and destruction
Rage, impure passion
The light of day, no longer hide
A withering creation gasping for life

Scores of souls, damned forever
The pits of hell a flourishing empire
A beast besieged by peace and love
The prince of earth as well as hell

The prince of peace and of love
A chord of steel across the bridge
The evil that men do shall not prevail
A kingdom foretold, a prince to come

In fond remembrance of better times!

Arsenal, SLR and Nadal

Not having blogged for sometime and feeling good about the missing hangover which I was destined to have, thought its time to type away the significant happenings that made my micro environment the least bit interesting or depressing the past couple of weeks,

The death of Arsenal
The very existence of Arsenal was exemplified by free flowing, creative football. The past 4 years have been especially tough for me as a Gunners fan having not won anything since the 2004 FA cup. But the past couple of weeks have really pierced my soul. The flair which was apparent even as we didn’t manage to win anything for the past 4 years was missing. For the first time in my life I was bored to watch Arsenal play. Pride lost as we drew 3 games in 1 week, to lowly Cardiff, resurgent Everton and West ham. Let the leg breaking spirits of English football haunt Ninian Park, The Mersey side and Upton Park.

Rupee Overvaluation
How on earth does this constitute my Micro environment? Well I’m pro export and pro ‘’lets makes this economy work’’ hence the disgust at how the SLR is been pegged against the US$ amidst falling foreign reserves as the central bank compromises our reserves position to defend the rupee. My dad rang me up the other day and he tells me that his Chinese suppliers offered him 20-30% discounts on most products since the Yuan has been depreciated and they wanted to help business boom. Wish we had a similar position on the rupee which will help exporters. The rationale that we need to keep the rupee pegged against the US$ to ensure inflation is controlled is a pretty short term thinking strategy, the damage done to exporters in the form of factory closures, lost customers etc. will not be recoverable and will adversely affect our BOP position in the future. 2 of my best buddies are now unemployed due to bad policies which have resulted in manufacturing job losses.

Rafael Nadal
For once I’m with the crowd favorite. Nope, it was not the French open winning rafa that impressed me. Rather it was the Wimbledon runner up Rafa on 2 consecutive years that impressed me. The manner in which he continued to challenge the King of grass was amazing and his 5th set loss to Federer in 2007 was heart breaking after missing multiple break points in the final set. But he came back; on top of a 4th French open title to finally win Wimbledon in the longest game in Wimbledon history with a 5th set that seemed to go on forever. (Since 5th set games do not go onto a tie breaker, but continues until someone breaks serve). And now he has the Aussie open!! The US open is the last frontier of what is now a fast contracting federer empire.

The exams and assignments which have taken up much of my time during the past weeks are too painful to bring up and hence would be avoided!
