"Hark! The merry chimes are pealing,
Soft and glad the music swells,
Gaily in the night wind stealing,
Sweetly sound the wedding bells..."
- Eliza Cook
man's biggest enemies,my dear mates, are procrastination and inertia[although wine,desire,lust,greed....give em tuff competition]....inaction as i'd say deprives a man of his will power,self esteem,determination and strength to move on......
how is this related at all to such a tuni-bulb brightened topic like Nag's didis wedding u ask me????
there was a job...
somebody hadta do it...
nobody did it....
everybody got angry...
cos anybody cud have done it.....
but NOBODY DID IT !!!!!

well....tadipatri is like 393 kms away from hyd....we should've got our berths reserved at least a week before...but in good times Mallya is king....we were drunk...in holiday spirit !!!!
we kept passing the buck...[i actually kicked it like the goalie]...fiiinaaalllyyyy.....the day b4 the big day,when we were sposd to board the train bound for tadipatri,we still had nooo idea who were attending the wedding.
0900 hrz....my fone went ringin the godfather tune...[monophonic !!!]...i picked it up n replied in half bangla-half hyderabadi... "kon kotha bolche re bhai??"...
"yo ZANY...its me EMP".....came the reply..."wake up u lazyy sloth !!!"

"well.....we've decided to travel by train...the journeys more fun !!"
"tickets nt been reserved bozo..."
"well genius....theres always the unreserved general compartment..."
