The Thomas IP

The Thomas IP

First, IP = Internal Publicity (notices (yes, he actually put this up) put up inside campus) for those ill-used to our lingo :)

The reason I post this is not coz I wanna improve my blog ratings but coz i figured he could do with some EP (External Publicity). And since he's threatened a defamation suit if I use it to slander him, Im gonna resist making any juicy comments about "anyone" who "might" have "not-so-straight" tendencies and goes so far as to solicit the companionship of a couple of our brothers. I would invite you to leave your comments with the knowledge that Thomas would sue you (if you dont take his fancy of course). Yes, that was a disclaimer.

I have erased his email ID coz he might not wanna receive hate-mail from my readership (which has not managed to cross single digits). But if any of you are serious about saying hi to him he'll be happy to have you check him out on orkut as he has himself put it.

Thomas of course has a long history of shady IPs. He allegedly promised an all expenses paid trip (along with his goodself of course) to a sea-side resort to the guy who found his lost "blue bag" once. I dont know if anyone managed to get lucky.

Im wondering if I should charge him for this publicity but then Im using his reclining chair so I'll desist. Thank you Thomas and may God guide you in your quest for companionship :) I for one, am not placed in Pune.

To Cut A Short Story Long!! - "Broke-Back Trip"

Mahabs had never been visited by Bondy
and moi hadnt been to Pondy,
So off we went in Bondy's Vandi
In search of some French eye-candy ;)

It started at 04.30am on "Holi" day, coz we werent keen on sporting colors.

we leave hostel at 5.30 am sharp.

At 5.45am, we are at GC. We had enthu but had to take a sit down break :D

Thats Bondy at his "Fairest" ( as u will see progressively he gets a tan)

Thats me wondering when ill get to Main Gate

At 6.00 am we are off from the gate. The ride was an effective hair straightener!!

By now I have lost track of time :D
This is us at Muttukadu and the Observation Point on the ECR


We go to Moonrakers in Mahabs for Breakfast. Ever seen a full body massage in the Menu Card of a Restaurant!!

Moonraker Rules!! ... Sexy breakfast ... We came back there for dinner

Soon after we are off to the monuments in Mahabs

Thats me n him on top of everything :D ... But looks like Bondy has a bee in his bonnet :P

I decided to choose the lighthouse for the "hold a monument" pic ...

... while Bondy decides to play with the Butter Ball :D

Super-huge monolithic carvings topped up with the presence of yours truly and Bondy :D

The Duo

You may be able to recognise a Jamaican drug-dealer with kids in all the Carribean isles and a good-for-nothing Cuban Socialist :D (Now dont ask which is which!!)

On the way from Mahabs to Pondy we braved super-saharan temperatures and turn of the millenium roads to go to the Alamparai Fort. Super views, awesome sights, bad camera work!!

Yes, the same Jamaican and Cuban!!

Prime Real Estate

Yes, the stereotypical "Titanic" feeling (minus the gal of course!!)

Finally we part with the Fort and reach Pondy. Hungry, tired and dehydrated. We got ripped off by the famed "Rendezvous". 500 bucks, tongues not afire.

The Rendezvous Rip-Off (Bondy aint pleased is he??)

As compensation for Rendezvous, sexy Italian ice-cream at the Rocky beach

Mad Hatter 1

Mad Hatter 2

And now the madness started. We started going in circles searching for (in no particular order):

1. A petrol bunk (or is it pump, dammit!!)
2. The Botanical Gardens
3. A French Bakery
4. Another French Bakery
5. An SBI ATM
6. The Auro Beach

Well needless to say, with my effective navigation skills and Bondy's eventual understanding of them, we made sure we ticked all the items in that list :D

This pic was at the Botanical Gardens showing our exasperation at this Queen of Sheba level business!!


Then again we went to the beach and Bondy refused to have a "topless" pic taken so mine will have to suffice (a long shot of course)


On the way back Moonrakers gave me an unbelievably big fish for 100 bucks and "rendezvous" was avenged :D

After its been gobbled up


When its all been done

All that was left was a backbreaking ride to insti. Now thats the funda of "Broke Back Trip" ;) And that wasnt pretty so there aint no pics.

I must say the bakery was awesome. We had a couple of pastries each even after havin a huge lunch, the ice-cream and the fruit juice at Le Cafe.

We found out there are things in Pondy you can do apart from boozing and buyin DVDs after all. But Mahabs was slisha more fun and Moonrakers tilted the balance. The fort was pseudest of them all tho :D

*phew* ... thats a long post u've read.
