A New Look - A New Beginning
Saturday, 8 December 2012
Just in case you haven't noticed yet, look around [Up and
Down]
Sarcasti-Nation now has a new look! Months of dieting, hours
of workout, a couple of visits to the parlor, a bit of magic powder sprinkling
and abra-ca-dabra mumbling and - *poof*
the abandoned nation looks as good as the ex-girlfriend you regret being dumped
by.
I'll start by keeping the promises that I've made a long
time back.
1. Changing to a self-made theme [Done]
2. Review of two books sent to me a long time back. [Done]
3. Posting regularly. [I'm on it]
2. Review of two books sent to me a long time back. [Done]

So I'll hope my merciful readers will forgive me.
And now I feel like I've just begun.

Okay! This is going to be short. Because I don't want to
waste time on insulting a book as horrible as this one.

7 Steps To Die Like A Gentleman
Friday, 25 May 2012
In case you’re planning on committing suicide like a noble man of the modern society, here are a few tips to make your last action on earth a nice one, brimming over with manners and etiquettes.
1. Appearance is of primary importance. Put on your best
attire. Shampoo and comb your hair like a civilized human being, and not like a
teenager going to college. Cut your fingernails and toenails neatly, so that
the people at the post mortem lab do not mistake you to be a sample of the
Neanderthal man from the museum archives.
2. Write a neat Suicide note. Use a nice ball pen to write it
on a clean piece of good quality paper which doesn’t soak up the ink like it
will soak up the tears of people who will actually miss you (if any). Choose a
decent ink color like black or blue. Please avoid red, pink, or green because
they are just out of fashion right now, when it comes to suicide notes. And
don’t waste blood. If they need any, they’ll know how to get it from your dead
body.
3. Mention who gets what. To prevent all future squabbles over your
stuff after you leave, in an additional note attached to your suicide letter, declare
the names of the future vendors of your prized possessions. It will give them a
reason to be happy and a reason to remember you for a few more days than
default.
4. Don’t be too filmy. Suicides are just not that old-fashioned
and dramatic anymore. They’ve changed. They’ve been morphed, developed, and
amended much more than our Indian constitution. These days, suicides carry
along with them a style quotient. If this is going to be the last intelligent
thing that you’re going to do on earth, why don’t you do it with a bit of
style, eh?
5. Talk to the person who loves you the most, for the last
time. Tell him/her indirectly, how clever you’ve been all your life and how
cleverly you plan to end it as well. Not that he/she will have the slightest
idea of what you’re talking about. But she’ll understand later, don’t worry.
6. Research suicide methods. There are million + 1 ways in
which you can end your life; +1 being the normal way. This is an integral step,
so plan it carefully. I personally suggest jumping off the rooftop/terrace/cliff/grand-canyon.
No scarcity of rooftops which are high enough in cities. You also get to
experience the additional thrill of bungee-jumping (without a bungee of course,
you silly!).
7. The most important step of all – Enjoy committing suicide.
This is that moment of your life for which you’ve been waiting all your life –
the last. Enjoy it while you can. If I ever jump off a skyscraper, I’d surely
smile at the people looking out of the windows. I’d wink and wave them goodbye.
In case I passed a bathroom window while falling, I’d close my eyes like a true
gentleman. I might even start singing the national anthem in case it takes too
long to reach the bottom. The last noble action of my complete and fulfilling
life story will be a dignified one. And then, before you know it … splat!
P.S_1: The author of this post sincerely hopes that this
post will not influence any human/animal to prematurely end his life on being
too excited to experience the fun suicide is all about.
P.S_2: If it so happens that you find yourself believing, at
the very least, a single sentence in the above post… you’re the clever man I was
talking about, you fool!
The Adventures of Munk - The Chipmunk
Friday, 18 May 2012
Once upon a time, in the distant forest of Woody Woods...
"Now remember, no playing games with old man stag Robert's antlers again!" said a stern motherly voice as she fiddled with a fluffy red pullover, "Do not waste your childhood years by disturbing someone's retirement days. I do not want any more complaints. Is that clear?"
"I KNOW mom!" replied the red pullover.
After a fair bit of hustle-pustle, the little head of a chipmunk popped out of the right end of the pullover.
"There you go! Now you look like my dear child Munky!" said Mother Chipmunk as she admired the cute little creature in front of her.
Muffled giggles floated into the room.
"Mom! Do you HAVE to embarrass me in front of my friends?" cried out Munk, the adorable little chipmunk in a fluffy red pullover.
"Come on Munk-ey, don't keep us waiting for so long" shouted his friends who were at the door waiting for him. More giggles followed.
"And don't be late! Come back before sunset!" ordered Mother Chipmunk at Munk who was rushing out of the door trying his best not to listen.
"There you are Munk-ey! We are honored to have you join us on our mission Munk-ey. Please lead the way Munk-ey." teased all his friends.
"Don't call me that!" retorted Munk angrily as they set out on their journey towards the Wet Waterfall.
Book Review - May I Hebb Your Attention Pliss
Friday, 6 January 2012
Call it coincidence if you will, but the last minute
decision of choosing to buy this book after sniffing every corner of the oxford
bookstore with 200 bucks in my pocket, seems like divine intervention right
now. “May I Hebb Your Attention Pliss” by bong cum blogger cum author Arnab Ray of greatbong.net was just the book that I needed to read to recharge my sarcasti-battery with
fresh green renewable non-polluting energy.
