A day in a superstar's life

Warning. This story is meant for people who are SCIENTIFICALLY CHALLENGED

It had been snowing for the past few days. The asphalt roads were covered with thick ice making driving dangerous.
Our superstar is driving a ferrari, which was presented to him for his remarkable super heroic stunts.

He had a passion for driving . But today there is a sense of discomfort in his face (It is so evident, that
even a small kid would figure it out).

Being a superstar, he had an ad campaign going on. So he was supposed to be
very consious about the brand he wears, the food he eats, the stuff he drinks etc.
Our superstar has a coke in is hand (obviously the brand he was sponsoring). But the reason for his discomfort is still uncertain.

Inspite of slippery roads, Suddenly He cruises his car at a top speed of 450 Miles per hour, (He is a superstar, he can easily achieve that speed
in any car and in any road condition), He goes nearer to the curb of the road, performs a superhero bang on one of the rocks. (I suppose you
are still unclear as to why he did that).

But a superstar is always right, as soon as he bangs on the rock some ice cubes start rolling from the rocky hill.
In a whisker he stretches out the glass of coke outside and lo behold, some ice cubes roll down through the rocks into the glass.

His face now glitters with a superstar smile, and due to this feat, his discomfort of not having "ICE in his COKE" is vanished,
and he drives happily back home.

My First Pet - Part 1

Those were the days, when i was in my 4th grade. My mother used to conduct tuitions at home for those kids who were poor, whose parents were illiterate and those could not afford expensive tutorials.

It was a bright saturday afternoon, and as usual i came from school very early. Mom was busy teaching kids, so she told me to change my clothes, get fresh and have some lunch. I promptly did so, and when I was just about to put the first spoon of rice into my mouth, My mom's student, asha, came running along with her mother. She told us that some sort of animal had entered their house and was terrorizing their children. Their father was not in the city, so she wanted me to help her out to "exterminate" the animal.

Being a curious and hyperactive kid, I wanted to be the one to solve this mistery. I placed my plate back in the kitchen, and as per my mother's instructions followed asha to their place.

Once i reached their home, i sneaked into the kitchen where the voices of the so called "unknown" animal was still being heard. The vessels were scattered all around the place and it was completely messy. I managed to clear the path way, and followed the voice that finally led me to the narrow passage inside the chimney. I lit a torch inside the passage and lo behold, I could see two glittering helpless eyes, which seemed to me as if they were pleading me to free her out of the passage. Without no further thoughts, i inserted my hand inside the passage and carefully started to pull the animal out, making sure that i wont hurt it. Slowly the two legs of the animal was visible; and soon its body became visible, asha and her mother were shocked to see a two legged animal, then when the body was visible, they knew what it was, It was a cockrell (a yonng rooster)., crouched in a narrow passage.

Looking at the Sun Can Trigger a Sneeze

Have you ever emerged from a matinee movie, squinted into the sudden burst of sunlight and sneezed uncontrollably? Up to a third of the population will answer this question with an emphatic "Yes!" (whereas nearly everyone else scratches their head in confusion). Sneezing as the result of being exposed to a bright light—known as the photic sneeze reflex—is a genetic quirk that is still unexplained by science, even though it has intrigued some of history's greatest minds.

Hotel Keralafonia

Here is the Mallu version of Hotel California (By Yeagles)

On the road to Trivandrum
Coconut oil in my hair
Warm smell of avial
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a bright pink tube-light
My tummy rumbled, I felt weak and thin
I had to stop for a bite
There he stood in the doorway
Flicked his mundu in style
And I was thinking to myself
I don't like the look of his sinister smile
Then he lit up a petromax
Muttering "No power today"
More Mallus down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel Kerala-fonia
Such a lousy place,
Such a lousy place (background)
Such a sad disgrace,
Plenty of bugs at the Hotel Kerala-fonia
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
It's infested here
It's infested here

His finger's stuck up his nostril
He's got a big, thick mustache
He makes an ugly, ugly noise
But that's just his laugh
Buxom girls clad in pavada
Eating banana chips
Some roll their eyes, and
Some roll their hips
I said to the manager
My room's full of mice
He said,
Don't worry, saar,I sending you
meen karri, brandy and ice
And still those voices were crying from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them pray

Save us from the Hotel Kerala-fonia
Such a lousy place,
Such a lousy place (background)
Such a sad disgrace
Trying to live at the Hotel Kerala-fonia
It is no surprise
It is no surprise (background)
That it swarms with flies

The blind man was pouring
Stale sambar on rice
And he said
We are all just actors here
In Silk Smitha-disguise
And in the dining chamber
We gathered for the feast
We stab it with our steely knives
But we just can't cut that beef
Last thing I remember
I was writhing on the floor
That cockroach in my appam-stew was the culprit,
I am sure
Relax, said the watchman,
This enema will make you well
And his friends laughed as they held me down
God's Own Country? Oh, Hell!

My all time favourite romantic song - "Hello"

Lionel richie has really "Stirred his heart" while composing and singing this beautiful work of his. Here how the song goes.

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door

Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know
'Cause I wonder where you are And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?

Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue But let me start by saying, I love you ...

Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying ... I love you
