I have learnt the hard way never to say never again

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

Before I got married I used to crack up every time I caught a Parsi having a conversation with a dog! I used to find it hilarious! Today I find myself unabashedly chatting with Layla, my golden retriever daughter.
As a matter of fact before I got married I could never see myself married. I converted, toed the line and got married in a matter of weeks. It’s another story that I am toeing the line for the past 25 years!
I could never understand the use of a suit and tie in the heat of this country and never wore one. I found it a choking handcuff of clothing, for the boring. Today I hardly every attend a function untogged and untied. I have now discovered a suit is also a great little camouflage for a great little area around the belly button.
The list of things I may have said NEVER to, goes on.
Sushi, brinjal, drinking warm water and telling the wife ‘you’re wrong’. Converted!
Using the stairs, sms greetings, shiny shirts and the mother in law. Converted!
Watching God channel and talking to plants…….Got you there, not yet!!!
I had ever said no to Munnabhai MBBS. Thank God for my powers of succumbing!
To make a long story short, this premumble is only a roundabout way to let you know that I am now ready for the world of blogging.
This is my 1st BLOG folks. So don’t hold it against me for taking time to get converted.
I have learnt the hard way never to say never again. Once converted though, my track record has been pretty good. Ask Zenobia. Did I not tell you? She is never wrong?

    Hi Boman… Reading ths post makes me feel that there are many things which I used to say never and am doing it… we do adapt things for which we have wrong perceptions earlier… cos humans hv a habit of cumin 2 d conclusion as soon as they see sumthin…
    Good post to start with…

    hi boman saheb,
    actually before saying anything i would say that we always love the characters u play out, mr principal in munnabhai mbbs, sardar in munnabhai 2 and now again in 3 idiots, everytime we are lost in the character only to remember later on that it was u the same person playing it. and i was shocked to know the u started only at age of 44 at the stardust function. i am typing this listening to the song”who let the”

    Hi Boman u look an interesting personality in real life i enjoyed your style of acting right from mbbs till date 3 idiots but its my opinion u still have ur bar to reach . Age is not a criteria for good actor but his involvement do play a role. I do see some times in some of ur movies lack of involvement its my opinion sorry but i do feel u have a great blessing of a positive human beings voice which i think u should do justice. I would love to see u in a lawyer role fighting out for the justice of a common man it whould be great to see it.
