The Truant Tales

Expect nothing. And I'll live upto it.

post 100 + FNL 2

,

Can you believe it?!?!? I can't. This Blog has survived for 100 posts!!! 100 post of unintelligible gibberish and still it continues (all because of the fact that I have nothing else to do). I've written on all kinds of topics like boredom, bad jokes, and a bored life. The funniest and wittiest posts are those which are e-mail forwards. How did I get to 100 posts? A lot of it was youtube vids, web features and rants about college and life.

Looking at the future, I think I'm heading for a bleak year (blog-wise). G.W. Bush is retiring (that kills nearly 90% of my jokes), Michael Jackson is out of the public spotlight (that kills the rest 10% of the jokes). But on the flip side, Spice Girls are having a reunion (Do you really wanna know, what I really wanna know, do you? do you? .........zigi zigi ha - Thats lyrical gold).

Also, its a Friday Night. Meaning time for the Friday Night List.

5 Best Personal Blog Posts
(Obviously, Modesty is not one of my traits.) After hours of sifting through, I think I got the list of posts that don't make me hide in shame.

5) Worst Things to happen to me III : The original List. Any Indian with a huge extended family would've gone through the same torture.
4) The Indian Humour : It contains the list of my favorite shows. Thats reason enough for me to like it.
3) The Start: So, this is how this whole thing started? Set the standards pretty low from the first try itself.
2) RIP: Here lies my lost hopes and dreams : A reflection in to my future goals? Or is it just a collection of bad jokes?
1) Blast from the past: The only post among a hundred that brings out a smile in me. A bunch of old memories resurface.

Narrowly missing the cut are : 24 hours till the next....., New year again? , Worst things to happen to me,The nut behind the blog, Highway to Hell.

5 Worst Blog Posts
The toughest list I've ever done. There's just so much to choose from.

5) Not another Teen Dream......Education - Do I miss You ?: Apart from a stupid title, the post sounded exactly the same as post previous to it. I think I was repetitive. Very Repetitive. I think I was repetitive.
4) 2006 - a horrible poetic recap : Just one of the two poems in the list. It didn't follow any metre, and just wasn't funny.
3) Beware : Uselessness Ahead...: This post is the pinnacle of boredom.
2) The A.S.S Report: Every time I read this, I weep. A Horrible, horrible post, which at that time I thought was the worst. I was proved wrong again.
1) An Ode to Spam: The following reaction explains it all : My brother 'You sound like a pothead' . Deke was right too, I sound like a Vogon.

Narrowly missed the list are : Origin of Space Aliens, Random meaningless ramblings

And Lastly, as said earlier, Modesty is not one of my traits.
3 'special' posts (Non-personal).

3)15 things, Uniquely Indian: Not very funny, but Indians will relate to it (hopefully).
2) 20 Best ' fictional ' books of 2006: Funny in patches.
1) The number 50: Exactly half the number of posts ago.

In response to 'The Indian humour'. Do you ever get programmes like 'The Kumars at number 42' or 'Goodness gracious me' in India? I think perhaps we're getting all your comedies over here...

we get Kumars at 42....but they are more Brit than Indian. ........... I don't think we have comedies in India...We have great Indian challenge though - a reality show where comics do their act. Its kinda funny, but i can't get the rapid Hindi spoken.

We get Brit comedies though, in 'bbc entertainment' - Coupling, my hero, chef!, keeping up appearances, my family, charlotte church show, catherine tate show etc . Also get Doctor Who, spooks, hustle....But I don't think they have much of a market in India. Usually programmes come with a LOT of ads, but bbc doesn't even carry one ad.

Coupling. I love that series. A bit like Friends, but funnier.

Shame you don't get 'Goodness gracious' though. The 'Indian dad' character is really funny, always trying to convince his son that everything comes from India originally.

"Superman? Indian! He can run faster than a train? Indian. He has to get dressed in a 'phone booth? Indian! He wears his underpants over his clothes and no one notices? Indian!"

Maybe it's funnier if you see it... bigsmile

he he ..... the superman thing is funny....any fashion is good fashion in India......Is that a Mira Syal & Sanjeev Bhaskar production too?

Deke Sunday, December 30, 2007 4:48:03 PM

They were two of the team. I think there were five of them all together but Mira and Sanjeev are the two that everyone remembers.

King NutinKingnutin Monday, December 31, 2007 11:52:41 AM

Well, they are very Brit....When Sanjeev came to India for bbc, he was like a total outsider.
