keep the 'chillar'...oye!!


Tomorrow is marked as a red lettered day in the life of pri :) :) :)
Why you ask?
Well, from tomorrow, 1st july 2011, my friends and family wont have the opportunity to ridicule my err..ummm..singing talent like they have so far been doing.
and who knows, with that soul wrenching demotivation and ego shattering gesture of handing-me-a-25paise-coin-&-giggling-away-to-glory-whenever-i-clear-my-throat-to-sing out of the way, i might just regain my long lost confidence and start with my blood curdling 'rhiyaaz' with new found enthusiasm once again & im sure that soon enough, i will definitely end up becoming the next 'Indian Idol'...er..um..ahem...what-e-ver!!

Now all the Indian Government has to do next, is stop the '50 paise' from circulation so that the phrase 'aamdani atthhanni kharcha rupaiyya' gets out of my way too..and then im sorted!! *heaves a sigh of relief and looks all pleased at the thought*

Anyhoo, with all due respect, i pay my homage and bid goodbye to the oh-so-famous 'chavanni' without whom a lot of fond memories (like those orange toffees, kites, baloons and such other innocent joys of childhood, which costed just 'baara aana' a piece back then) just wouldn't make sense!!!



On a slight philosophical note, perhaps its just another way of life to show us that nothing is constant---yeps, not even 'change'!! :-|

Quick! Keep practicing. People might start throwing 5 rupee coins at you. But I guess when that time comes you may not be able to buy anything for five rupees as well.
