thank you…
Now now… blame Masood for this… he said I must write a post thanking my doodhwala, dog, dhobi et all….
So I am taking inspiration from Masood as I have so much work that all I can do is either blog or comment… now that everyone seems to have exhausted in commenting on vishesh’ blog I thought I might as well thank my doodhwala, dog & dhobi…. but than I have no doodhwala we buy from Sanchi dairy… !! Dhobi bhi nahi… Dhoban hai… and no I dont have a dog either…. !!!!
But I must thank first of all my son for the questions…. !! without him that post wouldnt be possible… !!! That post was inspired from real life experiences !!!!!! Thanks to everyone for voting for this post… it is a treasured post and more so now… !!!!
Moving on to the jester award….
I have first of all thank recession… there were times in our office when I would forget to eat lunch, work till 10pm in the night and now we are free at 11.30 am in the morning… amazing turn around there has been… thanks to the recession that hit our business since last august and several silly decisions by our Government, I have been working less less and less …. Scrabble was my best friend and thanks to Ranu I came into this blog world…. !!!!!!!!! Am I thankful to Ranu for this or what….. and hey pls dont be so kanjoos and do comment from time to time… I know you read….
Having ventured in this world and gradually I started discovering friends and real people here…. I have found unbelievable people here… I cannot believe some of you actually exist… how have people whom I have never met become such an integral part of my life I dont know… Its quite amazing how all of you influence me and make me think… its amazing how much I think of you when i see any damn thing happening in real life… and how each event has to be related to you guys…
How I copy Crafty in trying to be cute with biwi…. How I try and copy Vimmuuu’s sarcastic question style in my house…. (my bros are going to kill you vimmuuu if they read this). They call this the virtual world but this isnt virtual all of you are real people rite… and you all are a part of my life in every inch now…. Blogging now runs in my veins… !!
Special thanks must go to Indy Aunty, Sols Dahling and Vishesh for taking the pains to conduct this contest…. (I was so blinded by the joy that I forgot until Smitha brought some sense in me..)
And thank you thank you thank you all the people who voted for me…. !! I love you all !!!!!!!!
(spoken like a star while blowing kisses from the podium)
Now for the party we have the following treats :
firstly some wine (european style) though I cant drink it at all… but for you guys anything…
and soup for my veggie friends
and for my non-veggie friends… some delicious chicken soup
and ofcourse the salads for all the health conscious fella’s
then the main course…
and the desserts…
and last but not the least….
Speaking in true Hansha style (of Khichdi serial fame) Khana Kha ke jaana huh…

Where did I say that she is the Dhoban ???
she is the maalkin of this writer…
she is reading the blog rite now probably… geee… gotta be extra careful…
that is even worse.. you are thanking your dhoban and not your malkin..!
I didnt thank the dhoban either…. !!!!!!! dont u try and put words in my mouth…
Ohhhh … Hetal is reading the blog
First time kya 
She is in Pune and was chatting to me so I showed her that I got the awards… than she asked which posts… so I showed the one post…
than imagine what she asked…
Kya faayda ?? are you getting any award money ???
kehte hai na… Ghar ki murgi daal barabar….
hahaa..
Award money.. tell her that u r spending ur own money for the treats
LOL
Fair enuf na 
ha ha ha
waah waah dhiren…now thats a speech!
more so because of the amazing delicacies you have lined up for us! Yummm…..
drool drool drool!!!
Hriday was the reason for this bhai… I think you must treat him for this..
its the time to celebrate 
Will treat him… his wishes are also small.. one happy meal at macdonalds. and one toy !!!
though I love the chicken mcgrill burger myself a lot…
That is enough – one happy meal!!!!! Poor Hriday – after serving as his dad’s inspiration – all he gets is a happy meal???
Thats what he wants… !! and he is more interested in the toy not the burger… !!
but where’s the biryani dude?????!!!????
Biryani… well… in the main course pic there is a pic with rice and some meat… so you consider that as biryani… !!!
aah..yes…OK..chalega!
talk of some greedy party demanders !!! gosh…
beta…without biryani..any party is incomplete!!!
Lol I agreee… !! no party without biryani… it rhymes too !!!
What a spread!!!! Dhiren! How could you?? I told you I put on weight if I even look at food and now this???? Wow! Can’t even think of anything else after seeing all that food!
Btw I love Hara Bhara kebab!! People here don’t know how to make it – so I am forced to make it at home!!
Hitchy, despite the fear that all this will go straight to your head, I have to say that your ability to churn out amazingly funny posts on a daily basis is something amazing!!!
na the rumble has all settled smi… !! lol…
Right now I m concerntrating on eating… !!!!
u can feast on the salad… na… i put it for ELEPHANT like people… !!!!
Hitchy! You too
sob sob 
he he… I ddint say it… some one else did….
oye..smitha…kya keh diya yaar…
you’ve opened a pandora’s box!!!
Congrats Hitchy.
I will take the Dessert and the Pan thank you!
Congrats chota… aur dessert pe nazar… !!
Hey! CONGRAULATIONS Hitchy!! I think I should be congratulating my darling Hriday too and one post was from his his hard working in asking his dear daddy so many questions.
So… CONGRAULATIONS MY DARLING HRIDAY!!
Big hugs Hriday and his daddy.
And LOTS of kisses for my sweetie pie (Hriday). :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:
no kisses for me ??
LoL! Dhiren I thought you would be tired now as Solilo is giving you your “wild kisses” so only for my darling Hriday.
Solilo!!! Where are you? I so want her to read this now!!! Badz, better go into hiding before the Don is back tomorrow morning
Hehehehe! Don’t worry. Me in hiding.
Kya baat hai Dhiru Bhai
Aakhir ek Senti post lagai
Par meri nazar to atki sirf wine pe
Aur uske saath kuch salad aur cheese de
Chalo nazron ne to khane ka sukun liya
Ab to hai ek tamanna jiske liye sabhi jalayo diya
Ke kisi din sab doston ki mehfil blog pe nahin, asal mein saje
Aur yeh sara khana (aur pina) ho, to maje hi maje!
Really I really dream some day all of us will get together over a camp fire… discussing things like crazy… arguing and pulling legs… inane laughter will keep doing rounds and we all keep singing songs…
we all must to get together once…. !!!!! really !!!
Let’s do it in Manali at one of Anala’s camp sites… I’m game for the next 3 months.
Manali in the next three months … !! uh huh… our camp site is also now closed… it rains quite heavily and it will be freezing cold… too many land slides… too… !! Manali must to be done in Summer…
That would be so cool!!! A mega blogger meet
Lets plan for mumbai or some place… or maybe next summer in manali… we can have a camp exclusively for us !!!!!!!!!!
Awesome Idea!!! I’m booked for next summer now… Abhi se!
that was ‘world best’(again hansha-style)
! congratulations,Hitchy!! You so deserve the awards 
more than you yes,Hriday darling deserves them..so tight hugs to him 
Hansha was soooper na… !! I used to love her and Prafool… tu to gadha hai gadha… lol… really phunny… !!!
and well Hriday sure is lucky … !!!
oh yes,prafool was sooo cute…remember the little twist he would do with his hand?? Yes, Hriday sure is lucky,and so are you to have an adorable son such as him
God bless him
so how are your blocked nose and sore throat??? All vanished??
after the awards… !! lol… I was so hyper excited… didnt even feel anything… !! lol…
thank god my boss was away… !!
A jester eh ? Like The Joker , by any chance ? I would become an instant bhakt !
Mubarak bad ! 
Joker lol yea… !! No chances of being a hero… so had to opt for the phunnier part… !!
Congrats to you, once again, in ur blog page.
Actually, I was thinking what kind of cotton selling this Hitch is doing ? All he does is posting blogs, commenting, re-commenting, replying.. is that all? Now, I read that the whole blame is on the recession !!! Such reasoning drama, for blogging.
Anyway, thanks to all the foodies ! I took the chicken soup & hara bara !!!
“spoken like a star while blowing kisses from the podium”
I imagined you like SRK giving the speech in OSO (not the one on stage, but the one in which he is drunk). Dont get made at me, the thot just came to my mind.
Made nahi MAD !!! typing sudharo… !!!
and I hate SRK … !!!!! naa I never would look like him…. !! I only liked his chakde and Swades… or else I dont watch his movies either… !!
And Recession has hit big time uma… we are commodity traders… we basically export to China / Pakistan / Bangladesh… they are the cheapest in spinning and they are major exporters of yarn and clothes along with our country to Europe and US… !! and as long as the demand in Europe and US doesnt improve our condition will not improve dramatically…
Trust me the really pure and good quality cotton clothes are majorly bought by them… In poorer countries polyster and polyster blends sell majorly… so … well sorry for the boring reasoning… but its a fact… we had a very very bad year…. !! the only good thing is we have not been hurt…
some of the bigger companies that were over a 100 year old in cotton had to declare Bankruptcy… !!
OOPS ! That was one long explanation !!!
Thank God ! You ppl have not been hurt so much by recession. Things will improve for the better.
Dont like SRK ?? Then who ??
I too loved Chak De !!!!
you only kept hand on dukhti rag… !! what to do…
Me Amitabh fan… I love Amitabh / Micheal douglas / Harrison Ford / Aamir Khan / Hritik / Sanjeev Kumar
But have to admit chak de and swades are two fantastic movies.. how i wish srk wasnt in them….
The moment I wrote Hitch to refer you, I was reminded of the movie Hitch by Will Smith. Hv u seen it ?? Very gud one. That character Hitch is one cool guy !!!
A very poor remake of Hitch is Partner !!!
Ohh… Partner… I havent watched that either.. Cant stand Salman tooo !! & nope I havent seen Hitch…
but i like Will Smith… maybe I have to see it…
Congrats dhiren
Drooling on the food dhiren,i am on dieting pls give the treat after sometime,wow great deserts and the main course
When hriday is back u r going to treat him or not ??
Kamal hai… log party maangte hai… aur tum ho ki… party baad mein dena… !!
