By Somewhat Popular Demand


Well two people is popular demand enough for me even if as we say in the North "voh meri gaand leh rahen the" or to put it more politely and in English, "they were having a laugh at my expense". So, well for those who didn't believe me, here's the pierced lip. Whaddya wanna see next, the tattooed shin (I'm such a bloody show off!)

Maire said...

i'll bet your mother doesn't approve!

Kartik said...

@Julia, Noooo, they'd kick me out in a minute.

@Aunty, The folks nearly had a fit, surprisingly my Grannie loves it

Terra Shield said...

Eh, cool!

R said...

"meri g***d le rahe hain". bwahahaha. I never came across an equivalent phrase to that in Mumbaiya Hindi. I have heard 'Meri le rahe hain'. I don't know what it means though.

Kartik said...

Meri le rahen hain is roughly equivalent to meri maaze le rahen hain which again becomes meri gaand le rahen hain

Maire said...

my mother had a total fit when I got the top of my ear pierced many many years ago. I mean it was my ear?! I still have it and always have to remember to take it out when getting haircuts (if I forget it usually involves painful wrenching with a comb!) I got no more piercings after that. Not because of the mother but because it actually really hurt and took ages to heal.

Kartik said...

@Aunty, He'ey, I got one of those too, look carefully at the pic in the center on my header, you might see it. That was the one that gave me the most grief too. I had it done twice. The first time, the guy did it with a wire through the cartilage. Then some jackass hit me on the ear an the thing got so swollen up I had to cut it off. The second time I pierced it, the guy pierced the skin rather than the cartilage. It heals much faster. If you are thinking of getting another one, try have them pierce the skin.

Princess Fiona said...

Kartik said...

@Princess, yep ,you were the first one! Not shy no way, can't be shy and have that attention grabbing piece of metal can I now? :P

See Bee said...

i must say demure + pierced lip makes u look HOT! (yes you look demure - tho what you were really trying to do was hide your face thus building up an air of mystery)

trauma queen shall now be like one of them despo aunties who leches at young metal-skinned chaps - hee hee hee

so rocker analyst - when r u wanting to be having coffee ;)

btw - more than the lip - i really liked the shirt - looks like linen and looks verrrry comfy

See Bee said...

oh n the previous comment was not any gaand pulling exercise or whatever....

admit you wanted to show off - we never NOT believed u when u spoke of the lip ;)

R said...

g***d pulling! Rotfl. Kartik, I hope you are taking all this with a 'stiff upper lip'.

Kartik said...

@Trauma, laying it on a bit thick ain't ya? Hahaha, anywho, you know what I'm looking for, someone to split the tab! :P
And no it's cotton, but royally comfy all the same.
And yes I'm a monstrous show-off, hell I'm an attention whore.

@Julia, if it wasn't for all the gand-pulling that's keeping me grounded, I'd be floating two inches above my chair lol!

See Bee said...

darn it!!! looks like i have to move to phase 3 and pay for everything!!

now i KNOW i'm growing old

sobbb....
sigh....

See Bee said...

n i am in full guffaw at the very witty exchanges between ms scissor and you

id say she's a sista! but u know what scissor sisters are?

now im bringing in a 'hole' new dimension to the gaand pulling

;)

R said...

@ Trauma Rani: Being called a sister in the same week as V-Day? Nahiiiiiiiii. Don't you know we engg gals are scarce in our male dominated territory. So no sisterly love for us. But good ole Kartik is someone I know from the dinosaur ages. So I'll take it.

Scissor sisters is some american band. I have also been asked if the nick is inspired by Edward Scissorhands.

Kartik said...

@Trauma, hehe, no I'm in my financially liberated phase, not liberated enough to pick up the tab though, I'll settle for a nice 50-50 split! Lol, scissor sisters, hehe, mommy reads this blog, so my official 'position' on the issue is I have no idea what you're talking about.

@Julia, Eh, what's with all this bonding and whaaat? I've been marked down to 'good ole Kartik' nahiiii right back.

Anonymous said...

Mommy???? Is she the only one ur afraid of?

See Bee said...

Julia: Half of what I say is meaningless!

by 'sista' i meant you and me as sisters - same thoughtwaves etc. but then scissor coupled with sister has a meaning that has nothing to do with edward, and ahem, something you might want to do further reading on, (though not at work..) ;)

you can keep good ol metal loving kartik for me. if he turns out to be a bore i could be your "sister" :)

ok trauma queen is now becoming trauma creep...this is what happens when she pays the bills - darn it!!

wvc: misori (misery?/ me is a mallu trying to say sorry?/ a river??)

sorry to kartik's mom! I will try hard to not be a creepy despo aunty spoiling young minds. misori indeed!

Princess Fiona said...

Pallav said...

Kartik said...

@Trauma, I'm sorry, I can't figure a response, and btw. It's only mommy hehe, no biggie.

@Fiona,I'm in the severe need of a couple myself

@Nothingman, this is a first, honest even if it's a load of "gaand pulling"

Maire said...
