I'm taking the honor of posting the first blog on the "dashing pappu" blog site. If you find this interesting, please make it a point to also visit our community on orkut named dashingpappu (stared by me). Don't worry, you will find nothing there. You won't even know the members as only 3 pappus have joined till date. ha ha. Please laugh. As other pappus start blogging, you will come to know about my percieved sense of humour and the success rates of my attempted jokes.
Just for the records, we also have a google group, an msn group and a yahoo group (I'm not myself very sure about the yahoo one.) Please don't try to join any of these as they are all private. In fact they our so private that we ourselves cannot login to them as our administrators don't remember the group names and we can't exactly recall who the administrators are.
Let me introduce the members before I write a few lines about the subject line (if I don't get bored by then). If and when other's blog, you will get a few more introductions with (probably) minor variations. So you already know one member. I'm makarand. I'm the best of them all in all respects. Here are the other members in order of their age:
(Yes. In spite of being the youngest, I am the best.)
Prashant is that kolhapuri chittapaavan koknastha brahman with the most childish face. At home everyone calls him pappu and he likes to dream of being "dashing" one day. I have not yet fully understood his definition of this dashing attribute, but it has got something to do with the childhood influences of hindi movies on our beloved pappu. As per my knowledge a dashing pose for him includes a gogle, a guitar, and some wierd facial expressions which only he can get right. Thanks dear dashing pappu for giving a name to our group-friendship.
Kaustubh Gandhi is a guy who has a girl friend, has been to Japan, has worked at Bangalore, always had a printer and all the assignments to be submitted at the right time just before submissions, and sends one mail every month on our group. Thats my definition of this gujju.
Pratik Mutha is the only married pappu. This guy has a habit of coming up with amazing grammatical constructs in Marathi. Once he had said mazi zop udali when he actually meant mala jaag aali. sha & kau will be compiling and presenting the entire list soon. Sometimes I find his sense of humour similar to mine, which is jara hatke from the standards.
Shantanu, the book-eater is the pappu who started this blog site. He is known for his inhumane book consumption activities. This man is currently bugged by the idea of reading as many blogs as possible. And blogs of not just friends or acquaintances but any blogs he can get displayed on his monitor. His reading is limited only by the Internet speed and timings of Internet availibility in Infosys.
Gaja is the only pappu has gone to the U.S of A. samasta pappu parivarala tuza abhimaan aahe. asaach pragatipathavar aagekuch chalu thev aani MS chya parikshet paas hounach maaydeshi parat. tyasathi tula aabhyas karava lagel. This chap has a habit of explaining in detail every single piece of information that he understands. And I typically never grasp jokes which have little logic, in the first go and need someone to analyse the joke for me. Hence Gaja comes in really handy at times.
Vikas is a pappu who can be best described as a complete family man. These days, the number of family ceremonies he has sometimes even exceeds the number of times we meet. We are all very happy that our dear gulaabrao is soon getting married and that has just doubled his relatives. His involvement in his relatives has prompted me to create a theory of relativity for him. I'm dedicating this blog to viks and heres that theory of relativity for which you have been waiting from the time you read the title line....
The theory consists of the following axioms:
A relative of a relative is a relative.
A relative of a relative of a relative might not be the first relative's relative but can be my relative.
Relatives at home or me at their home implies today is a holiday or i am on leave. And vice versa (double implication).
Total amount of fun in life is directly proportional to the square of relatives (or may be the circle of relatives).
Marraige = more relatives = more fun in life.
More relatives = more marraiges + more engagements + more kelvans + more munjya + more puja + more baarshi + more dohale-jevans = more ceremonies.
More ceremonies = more fun in life.
