I never won an online lottery which was less than $5000 or lets say less than $10000…
Almost every email that I have got so far ever has more than 6 digits worth of money !!!
$ 534344
$ 654223
$ 500000
and so on and so forth…
How much have you won in online lotteries by the way?
I think Marijuana word comes from the popular Punjabi phrase : मर जावां ….
There is a lot similar about them if you think about it !
🙂
goes away singing… MariJuana MitJuana Marijuana !!! 😀
Comes back with a new Sher he just wrote 🙂
दुखी होते तो नहीं , मगर फिर भी हो जाते हैं
काश के वो शाम, रात मे डूबती नहीं !
प्रशांत, आपने कभी कोई Business Plan बनाया है?
नहीं यार !
कपड़े धोये हैं कभी?
हाँ!
अच्छा तो आकर Help करो !!!
when you see something that you feel you cannot do, just figure out how the person who did it, did it…
Rest is pretty simple !!!!
Thanks Jyoti for that deck of pictures by Gregory Colbert and thank you Kshitiz for that video… Today has seen me intimidated and inspired and encouraged and scared, all the same time !!! nice feeling it was 🙂
Boy I feel lucky or what to have been on a raft while going through the Three Blind Mice, the Return to Sender, the Golf Course and the other many rapids between Marine Drive and Rishikesh !!!
This weekend I went camping and rafting in Wisconsin, about 300 miles away from where Minneapolis and the only thing common in the rafting was the Yellow Blue Hyside Rafts that we use in Rishkesh !!! rest… just one! yes just one grade 4 rapid ( was more interesting to look at than be in) and nothing more !!!
This was the only rapid, a Grade IV that we did…But still, the weekend was good… (Made me miss Rishikesh a lot)
Needless to say, another post with less text and loads of pictures is coming your way !!!
And I so wish that I erase the memory of a few people from my brain, because anything about them just brings back the pain that I went through, with them, because of them, when they were there and whatever crap… Even the mention of their name is painful at times !!! Actually not pain, its the wrong word to use right now, but for the lack of a word, worse or better (wondering what !) then this one, I will let it be !
Anyway, the good part is, that the movie is wonderful and Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet can be seen doing something which is unusual for their typical style of acting… The movie has been directed the unusual way too, or should I say the “Pulp Fiction” or the “Memento” way… (This basically means that you have to add two more movies in addition to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in your must watch list)
Had mexican today for lunch… (wish i could rewrite it like this – had a Mexican girl for lunch today, but I guess she would fit better for dessert I guess 😛) anyway….
so this Mexican Girl.. no, Mexican GRILL, yea that’s right, Mexican Grill, called Panchero’s serves all sorts of food (Deepu, Subbu, Bindiya, Aro, you have a lot of love here as I heard that the non-veg is great at this place) but I managed with a Veggie Burrito… which was both very tasty and filling… I am going to refrain from speaking the name of the place too much, because it sounds more the common sentence filler in Hindi 😉
वैसे हिन्दी में बोलें तो, मैदे की बड़ी सी रोटी में, राजमा, चावल, सब्जी, और चटनी भर कर खायी !!! और काफ़ी स्वादिष्ट भी थी…
First time experience of Mexican Food… and I guess, we can put this on the menu in the Chai Ki Dukaan too sometime later 🙂
Oh and btw, this weekend has offered me a series of first time experiences, which I am going to write about later… Till then, its for you to guess!
And the people who know it already, please do not spill the beans, I might use them in the next Burrito that I eat !
चाय की दुकान crossed a landmark yesterday night…
Fifty Thousand
पचास हज़ार !!!
and I am thankful to everyone who has been here once, twice, or many times !!!
I have always maintained that I write for myself, to clean my system, to make myself happy, to vent out, to share a laugh, to avoid dropping a tear, to be honest to myself…
That still stays the primary reason for this blog’s existence, however I would be lying to myself and to everyone who visits, if I do not agree to these visits being a key motivator for this long journey…
मैं अकेला ही चला था जानिब -ऐ -मंजिल ,
लोग साथ आते गए और कारवां बढ़ता गया
Thank you शुक्रिया धन्यवाद благодаря 谢谢您
For the records…
The blog used to be called
Life as a (W)hole when it started… reason being that I was talking about life, and everything about it… and the hole signified that everything was going into this blog hole…
It became चाय की दुकान… Sometime in August last year… almost one year ! Read more HERE…
For the love of numbers: Today the main page gets about 100+ hits everyday with an average visit length of about 3.5 minutes…
60% of visitors are from Asia, 30% hits from the US, about 5% from Europe…
74% of visitors use Windows XP, 17% use Vista, 2% Linux and 1% Mac OS (I wish Mac Users were more… seriously)
35% users see Chai Ki Dukaan on IE7, 34% still use IE6, and 29% are Firefox users…
And
Thank you Again everyone… hope to see you around !!!
P.s. (thanks to Mayuri for the idea)…
