“So what is it that you are going to gift Monica this time?” Ross asks Chandler
“Its something I’ve custom made for her..see” Chandler shows a card
“Seriously..a greeting card? That’s the best you can come up with?”
An exasperated Chandler points him to look at the card and  open it to see.
“Wow..a MENU card. How original Chandler. She is a chef so you get her a Menu card for birthday? Even Joey could think better than this” comments Rachel
“Whoa..whoa…whats with me and my thinking?” enters Joey
“Chandler has got a MENU card as gift for Monica’s birthday” quips Phoebe
“Dude..what’s wrong with you? What are the dishes you’ve mentioned in it? Is Meatball sub there in it?”
Chandler plucks the card from Ross and hastily goes to his room.

Monica enters the apartment, looking all dazed and tired.
“Whoa..what were you cooking at the restaurant today? Crystal meth? You look stoned” says Phoebe
“I wish..by the way..why you guys are always here..don’t you’ve your own apartments?”
The group laughs away that comment and indulges in conversations totally ignoring Monica.

“So..Ross how was your date with your hot neighbor?” queries Phoebe
“Hot neighbor? Why I was not told about her? Ross..what’s with the secrecy?” questions Joey with a hurt look.
“Exactly the reason Joey..as it is she turned down me asking her out twice prior to accepting. I didn’t want to involve competition as well” which leaves Joey beaming with a knowing smile and a nod.
“So that makes your neighbor more of a “nay” bour and the candor with which you won her over would make you a candidate for a candid date?” quips Monica.
A stunned looking rest of the group watches her in awe, which makes Monica become hyper conscious of what she said. “Oh my God. I am Chandler..I am Chandler” and she runs into her room.
“I warned her marrying him will leave side effects” says Rachel sagaciously.

“But Joey..how come you are here today. Didn’t you had an acting assignment for that ad?” asks Ross
“Yeah..but I quit”
“Whoa.why?what happened?” asks Rachel
“Well..there was this character that they wanted me to enact yesterday. Which I did PERFECTLY. And today, the director asked me to re-act that scene again. I told him clearly. If you want me to perform again you’ve to pay me again. Fair deal right? He shot me down”
“That’s bad. That’s why I hate employers” says Phoebe voicing her protest.
“Hold on..did he ask you to react?” queries Ross slowly.
“Exactly” and then looking at rest of the group watching him with eager sense of anticipation it suddenly dawns on him.
“Oh my god” he rushes out catching his jacket, to make a dash to the agency.

When they finally get time together, Chandler gives Monica the card.
“Happiversary dear”
“Wow..a menu card. How..hmm…nice”
“Open it”
It turns out to contain the list of all her favorite things, her favorite songs, the first time they met and list of things that they did together et al. The more she read it, Monica goes misty eyed.
“Whoa Chandler..this is the most beautiful and romantic thing you’ve ever done for me. Thank you”
“Its not just a menu card..its “Me n U” card. The priceless moments that we share together which you cook up for us. Thank you Monica”
Monica looks at him wide eyed which makes Chandler super conscious of what he did and he rushes out shouting “I am Monica..I am Monica”

At central Perk, Chandler, Joey and Ross discuss about what happened.
“When I finally gave her the card then only I realized how much I’ve been ..i’ve been..”
“acting like Monica” filled in Joey
“Yeah. If she’s a country I would be a Monican by now”
“Don’t worry. You’re not alone in this. Today morning she imitated you” and Ross goes on to explain the comment that Monica made.
A smirking Chandler is all smiles.
“That’s my girl. She’s Bing on target” looking at the reaction on their faces, Chandler retracts saying “there are gentle pun. But that was pungent”

Dasvidaniya - Best goodbye ever

What makes a movie tick?? If anyone has a sureshot answer to this question every movie getting released would be a Superhit isnt it. To me whether a movie goes on to become a hit or not..if you are able to relate to it..that itself is a victory for that creator. Dasvidaniya is one such movie. It got released quite sometime back and sank without a trace for obvious reasons. Happened to watch it today and here is the review :) This movie maynot be everybody's cup of tea considering that it moves at a slow pace and doesnt have feet tapping melodies or any peppy songs. Nor does it have slap stick comedy scenes which might draw repeat audience. This is one movie best watched in DVD..at your own leisure..just soaking in its pace and relishing just the same. If its Nasseruddin shah with Vaswani 3 decades back..Vinay Pathak and Ranbir Shourie are no less a pair to match wits with them. Add in the ever dependable Rajat Kapoor you've a formidable cast. Throw in a decent script and lo..yo...

Enna koduma saaar ithu!!!!

We are a group of 5 who share our apartment. Usually me and one more guy are the last to the leave the house everyday morning. Yesterday, the one who used to leave first for office, didnt come home till 11. I went to sleep after the usual book reading session at around 11.30. When i woke up i saw it was only me who was still lying on the mat while even the guy who leaves for office along with me, had already started folding his bed!! I was feeling very tired and sleepy and was in two minds whether i should take off or go late. Still managed to crawl..brushed teeth half sleeping and swtiched on the geyser. I turned back to see, suddenly it was pitch dark outside the bathroom!! Since the light was On inside, it wasnt power cut and i came out to see what was wrong. The guy who folded his bed, had moved to the hall and was again asleep!! Then only i noticed, it was dark outside the balcony too!!! I checked the time. It was 3AM!!! BOOOOHOOOOOOO!!! SOB SOB SOB!!! That useless guy afterwards ...
