At Last - Henry

Hi guys, at last i have made it. To Blogger's Park. (Due apologies to Subhash Ghai -- you know, the chap behind Jogger's Park.) Now that I am relaxing here, in good old India, in Louis' house in Bangalore, I think i will make a beeline for Hogger's Park. Everyone is busy hogging here, too much eating.

Faiyaz, thanks for all the help in packing my stuff before I left for India. Imagine, two diehard Oriya GBs going to a South Indian joint in a Gulf country for a thali in a Japanese car, Nissan Altima - Man, how global can we get! Truly we are Global Indians. Like Naveen Patnaik, the chief minister of Orissa, brought up in England, and hardly knows any Oriya! Feel like a displaced Pico Iyer, the Time magazine writer! I can never forget Akbar Khan Gudakhu, Odissi, Gopalpur, Aska, Balugaon, ?Cuttack, Rayagada, Pudamari, famous for the Chhena Puda Pethas - Bhubaneswar -- I feel like a bus conductor already -- and a girl from Giri Road -- who was my co-star in an English skit once upon a time, extremely intelligent and bright and -- needless to say, pretty -- motherhood has not diminished her good looks. Well, all I can say is, she is now the Bold and the Beautiful!

Great to have Henry on blogsphere at last ( Faiyaz must be puffing with pride like a Mother Goose seeing its progeny fly from the nest) --one more Vincentian livening up APOSCAFROVIMA --a global Berhampurian from the desert kingdom, spewing forth nostalgia like molten lava from Mount Etna --
and what amazes me about some Vincentians is their fresh memories of pretty girls who danced in and out of their lives like characters out of Midsummers Night Dream....

Welcome to Joggers Park - Very Apt I must say....

Where you are bound to find Victor Bannerjis and Perizaads in plenty!

Yes Stan, the sense of pride is there...But not that of Mother Goose but Father Bachchan when he sees Abhishek!

How can I perform Kajara re Kajara re without Henry?

Father and Son Duel - Aish'WAR'ya!

Faiyaz,

It's Henry here. You got quite a 'dressing down' at the Bollywood concert, I must say. Who asked you to go there? You lecherous Orissa man, you are supposed to be singing Jana Gana Mana instead of Kajra re! All is fair in love and Aish'war'!

Henry,

If you recollect we were supposed to go for a Movie - You called up and told me it was House Full!
My cousin then asked me to accompany since he had couple Complimentary passes for the show! Who would pay to watch this crazy show "Heat" anyway?
Watch Harrison Ford's Firewall if you haven't.

Faiyaz,

I told you House Full seconds after you told me about Heat, so we called it off. Doesn't matter, chalta man. Anyway, I like Harrison Ford, his Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Air Force One are among his best.
