Jupiter Colony..



Years of ridicule.
Years of humiliation.
Naa..not anymore, I wondered aloud..
Today, I shall crack the fundaa..abt why the place where I live is called "Jupiter Colony"

--Flashback--

At school:
Kid1: I stay in BHEL colony.
Kid2: I come from Marredpally.
Kid3[Me,hair tied in ribbons!]: Err...Juuuupppppiiiittter Colony..

*guffaws*

At college:
Lecturer: So you stay far off?
Me: Yeah!
Lecturer: Hitech city? Mahendra Hills? blah blah blah
Me:Err...Juuuupppppiiiittter Colony..
Lecturer: [Gives me a u-must-be-kidding-me look.]

*Sigh*

At work:
Teammie: What...what is this address? [pointing at ma IT returns form]
Me[unabashed!]: Jupiter Colony! Thats right!
Teammie: ye, neengaala earth range ilaya...Jupiter daa na?
Me: Cursing the founder of the colony..may god *not* rest his peace in soul..

--FlashBack ends--

At home, dinner table..

Me[with a sullen look]: So wots for dinner?

*Silence*

Mom serves macekerel(fish)..

Me[sullen look transits to gluttonous look]: Mom!!! You are the grrrrrrrrrrrrreatest!

Dad: Ya ya, it takes a grilled fish to make her great.

Me[gorging on food]: Say,dad..werent you ever embarrassed abt telling u r from Jupiiiiitttttter Colony?

Dad: Naa..I always thought it was kinda kool.

Me: Wot?! Look there should be some reason to this whole Jupiter-Vupiter fundaa...
Think about it..
SBI colony - becoz bank families live there.
BHEL colony - coz its BHEL employees inc.
Railway Colony - its railway employees again..

Dad:
Old city - coz old ppl live there?
S R Nagar - coz Sanjeev reddy's soul looms there?
Cmon! wots the bleddy point?

Me: Dont jack ass me!

Dad: U seen "DoubtFire"(english flick)? Robin Williams makes up dat name, remember? Jus' like that..mayb jus ran outta names.

Me: Its a billion plus population for godssakes..how could they run outta names? Or mayb he was a fanatical scientist..or meteorologist?

Dad: Or mayb his ancestors discovered Jupiter?

Me: Or mayb aliens ruled here?

Dad: Hmm. Mayb he was born to aliens...? alien child? hahaha:)

Me: Or mayb he had a girlfriend by name "Jupiter"?

We agreed to disagree..

Karaoke -

I don't know what it is
that makes me feel like this
I don't know who you are
but you must be some kind of superstar
coz you got all eyes on you no matter where you are

Superstar - Jamelia :)
