Kiran and Shaan's World

This is my “I am completely horrified by this turn of events” look when a couple people decide to yuck it up and karaoke “Who Let the Dogs Out” in duet. – Kiran

I learn a lot from Men’s Health – especially that you only need six minutes a day to get rock hard abs. I should also point out that my pecs are huge. – Shaan

Coca-Cola is definitely on to something with Coke Zero, the baddest diet soda known to mankind. Check it out: The cans are black and white. No primary colors for me. The name? ZERO. Mysterious, strong. Even the slogan is a command: “Everybody chill.” Bless you Coca-Cola. You have bestowed manliness on male diet soda drinkers and this Zero deserves an A. Now if they could just take some of the caffeine out I wouldn’t be writing these rants at 3 in the morning. – Shaan

Dear NASA:

My name is Kiran Thakur. I am sitting in my home office right now and I am 100%, verifiably surrounded by aliens. They seem to enjoy making copies. And creating spreadsheets. They write reports and fax things. It’s a complete mess. I am certain they are aliens. Please send help. I am under siege.

Thank you,

Kiran

As you may have noticed, we have had no new posts at Kiran and Shaan’s World. This was because: 35% technical difficulty, 65% editor error. (This is the excuse I use on days when I can’t get out of bed – same percentage and everything.) Please come and visit us later for more photos and posts. – Kiran

You stared at me seductively from behind the frosty window of the Albertson’s frozen foods aisle on Thursday afternoon. I tried not to stare back, but I couldn’t help myself. I pretended not to see you and pushed my cart ahead a few steps to the fat free yogurt section. Still, out of the corner of my eye, I was checking you out. You were the complete package, tall, solid and a beautiful mocha color. I just knew I had to get to know you better, so I pulled my cart back a few steps, still pretending to check out the fat free popsicles while squinting to read your label inconspicuously. Yes – you were what I had been searching for. Chocolate Mocha Mousse Light Ice Cream with Chocolately Chips Swirled with Vanilla Mousse Light Ice Cream. And 1/2 the fat and a 1/3 of the calories to boot. I could not resist your charms any further. Opening your chilly door, I lovingly caressed you and decided to take you home with me. As we drove home, all I could think of was you. Racing into the house, I didn’t waste time and consumed you right then and there on the kitchen counter with no regrets. – Kiran

Today’s post goes out to Big Bird: Hey – I wasn’t the one threatening Cookie Monster with a broken bottle in a nightclub at 3 am in the morning, that was you. Mmmm – or me. Man, last night was confusing. – Kiran

Today I learned that fire and sand make glass. Tomorrow I’ve arranged to have 36 tons of sand delivered to the house. When we’re done, my bedroom should look like Superman’s dad’s apartment on Krypton. – Kiran

Did you know there are TV shows and entire superstores wholly dedicated to the art of scrapbooking? It’s hard to generate much loathing for people who want to take their junior high Teen Beat collages to the next level. Gluing paper to paper is great. No issues. Shaan gluing feathers, rhinestones and making clothing for the microwave? Issues. Big Ones. – Kiran

When I need a pick-me-up, forget coffee or Xanax; I like chasing pigeons. Pigeons run with their heads bobbing side to side, swiveling to look back at me gaining on them. They flee and bob until their concern overcomes laziness just enough for a short flap-hop to temporary safety. My pigeon chasing grin always lasts a while. Seagulls can be fun too, but be warned: they are faster and try to poop on you. – Kiran
