When the Delhi Boy's Music meets his Alcohol!

"Bhenchod! Tu janta nahi hai, mera baap kaun hai?" as crass as that sounds nine out of ten people who have ever interacted with a Delhi Boy have heard this line. It comes in many tones there is the drunken version and then there is the boistorous version. Yet there is something stereotypically Delhi associated with that line. For my two foreign readers who stumbled on this blog looking for Shakespeare but got fuck all! Welcome and this translated for you in essence means "Don't fuck with me cause you don't know who my dad is?" (Essentially reiterating the fact that they are not well endowed!). Ironically I'm a Delhi Boy, dissing on other Delhi boys but hey I've always said embrace the stereotype because that essentially can be really fun at times. With regard to what we are here to discuss today is the essential evolution of the Delhi boy from before Alcohol to after. There are many who would disagree with what I have to say and be like that is not true for all, I agree but again I reiterate we are not here to discuss the exception to the rule (as would be me and some of my friends with regard to the "Tu janta nahi hai" dialogue). So I give you the five stages of evolution for almost every Delhi Boy.

Disclosure: At no point in this blog am I tearing down any form of music, I am solely mocking the stereotype that is the Delhi Boy!

Stage 1:- ( 1 - 2 Pegs of Whiskey, [Dilli hai BC! , Vodka ki ma ki])

This in essence is the relaxed stage where the boy is like "Yeah man! I was at Blue Bar last night, they were playing some really chilled out shit bro!" Yet at this point he will also tell you that he spent shit loads of his dad's money and got hammered. He will be like "lets listen to some chilled out Deep House and like get a whiskey, dude" At this point the Discussion will also be about the following depending on age of the Delhi Boy - Where he partied, With Whom he partied, Who he knows to party with, How much his clothes (fake Lajpat Nagar knock off that he is trying to pass off as originals) are worth.

Where he's planning to holiday (BC has not been further than Gurgaon, or Guru, Insta, Kilo,-Gram as they would have it called) and the most obvious one, the solid idea of his start-up which his dad has already told him to go fuck off with. The music at this point is chilled out he knows every song that is playing and will update you on more related music which his friends have casually put into conversation and he has never heard, or found out about his self. Well at this stage he is bearable, but anyone who has had to put up with two hours of this shit would have most likely kicked his ass by now. Hey! but what's Delhi without a fight breaking out every now and then?

Stage 2:- ( 3 - 4 Pegs of Whiskey)

Tiesto, Avicci, Armin Van Buren (Is that how you spell this?) and a million other Eastern European names will come out now, sort of like that Fake accent he's been trying to use but we all know it is only time before everyone is a MC or BC (Dear White, Chinese, Black and Latino folk please contact your nearest brown person for an explenation as to what is a MC and how one can become a BC).At this point he is cool, he is fly, his hands are doing the dance, his motto is "Eat, Sleep, Rage, Repeat"(Except on Tuesdays and Thursdays!), he's ready for the Selfies, because apparently you are suppose to take that first ? He's down with the DJ's and Tomorrow land is in his backyard only bro!! He Loves that EDM shit bro, and he had Honey Singh blasting just 10 minutes back, but hey "Hiz Lyf, Hiz Rulz".  "You don't get it bro, this guy is epic bro!"


Stage 3:- (5 - 6 Pegs of Whiskey)

At this point our fun Delhi boy is inebriated enough to start showing his true colours. This is where he wants to hear his "Snoopy Doggy Dog" and almost every one is "His N**ga" (Hey! to all my black friends reading this, I'ma witchu let's go find that douche!). At this point his conversation is getting deeper, not in an emotional sense but there is some deep rooted stupidity fighting its way out slowly! At this stage he is the worlds best iPod DJ! He is the Jazzy Jeff of the iPod Dock and he got this shit covered! This is not bad music, it's just that as many time as you play Drake it's not going keep you any less at the bottom, you are still going to be there! Conversation at this time has started getting urban, and why not He's seen Pulp Fiction so many times, Sam Jackson should be calling him to find out what they call a "Quarter pounder with Cheese in France", Yes he Double dares you too! But hey at least he's more bearable now!


Stage 4:- (6 - 7 Pegs of Whiskey)

Welcome to the Karaoke session of the night! At this point, As with what can be seen at any point on the Animal Planet, he has found his heard, pack, posse, unkindness or what ever you call a group of "Delhi Buoys"together! They are all ready to kill it! Tonight they are Frankie Valley and the Four Seasons but without the talent. The music is blaring hits of the nineties and two thousand and he 's got his groove going! He's about to lay down some old school Backstreet Boys tracks and kill those high notes like the love child of what you would get if you Scratch Nails down a blackboard! He's all about the love now! He loves everyone and everything including the "Apple Pie" (#MovieReference)! He can't figure out who is who but he loves them none the less! Hey which on a deeper level, that the Delhi boy might fail to understand or comprehend (Please provide the Delhi boy closest to you with a dictionary to look up the meaning of the same) but loving everyone is awesome!! Spread the love! He's got the dance moves to back with when "Quit playing games with my heart" is played and will be on his knees for the chorus just to add to the effect! This is actually the fun stage at which one should be around the Delhi Boy



Stage 5:- (8 - 9 Pegs of Whiskey)

If the the Delhi boy is still alive at this stage, please give him a prize like a glass of water or a bucket depending on the situation. Those this is the most interesting part of the night cause this can go either way. At this point he could also go way negative and we all know one thing we can count on is that all problems aside Delhi boys (Again going with the rule, not the exception to the rule) wear their heart on their sleeves. It take very little at this point for them to react negatively to something and in most cases takes a friends of their's to sort out the situation and get them back to normal, but well that guy is boring! Let's talk about the fun Delhi guy again!! Let's talk about the guy who has thrown caution to the wind and gotten ready to move on, this guy is now ready to do what he wanted all night long but had is inhibitions up!  He's ready! He's in Control, He has gotten all the knowledge one would need for such a mission! He has opened YouTube,he got to the search bar, he has found his track! This song completes him, he feels one with the song! This song is the spinach to his Popeye, this song is the Pippen to his Jordan (which actually sounds a little dirty too), this song is what the Fantastic Four - Reboot should have been.

So in conclusion I give you the song that completes the experience that is drinking with a Delhi boy!

Though I have to say it could be this too.....

Kicking it Old School in the Gym

Welcome 2016 you beauty! How you doing ? (Imagine Joey from FRIENDS) . Happy new year everyone! As with most people globally everyone has made the vow that is only as strong as how quick you can break it, yes that dreaded new years resolution.


As with most resolutions you have the usual "I will lose weight", then there is "I will quit smoking" (that one ends 2 hours into a work day). My personal favourite "I will quit alcohol and start gymming" Yes! and I will find gold and marry Emma Watson but neither is happening so what you gonna do? Yes if you are the rare creature who is actually able to stick to their resolution because of you true self-control or because you actually don't have a social life because of work (Like Your's truly) then congratulation! Yes ladies and gentlemen I have decided to start gymming seriously and it is going great. I'm still fat but the guilt is less and I have more excuses to finish that last doughnut, "I need carbs I'm lifting weights" *Crickets* "SHUT THE FUCK UP!", anyways back to the point. So as with any gym goer each has a different requirement, You have the professional who only cares about using the machines and making his body bigger, then you have the gym goer who is there because it's a good way to socialise - in other words, get the attention of the opposite sex or same sex, how ever you roll! - I on the other hand am the novice, I go use the treadmill for 35 minutes and then wing it!
Yes I know it doesn't make sense, but that's how I feel!
Yet that 35 minutes gives me lots of time to think about shit, you truly influential matters plaguing our society, matters such as will the Houston Rockets make it past the first round of the playoffs, how exactly did stella get he man back, how long does one wait before texting a girl whose number you just got, and the truly import matter will Leonardo DiCaprio finally get that oscar. Yes I know some truly gripping shit right there.


Between all these absolute world changing thoughts I get a chance to listen to some of the music the gym feels will pump up people to work out harder, because one thing I have realised in my really short time on this planet. Music can really motivate you to new heights. Think about it, think about that one moment in your life where you were truly in the shit hole without an emodium or toilet paper   (Yes that is how graphic we get with this!) and the song you were listening too, how did it make you feel? (Tonight on Dr. Phil - Arjun asks you how did it feel ?).


As usual with any of my posts we are digressing but hey! it's my blog so in the immortal words of "The Real Slim Shady" - "F**k him and F**k you too, you think I give a damn about a grammy, half of you critics can't even stomach me let alone stand me. But Slim what if you win? why so you can lie so can sit me hear next to Britney Spears" .... Sorry I get carried away quoting Marshal. Anyways back to the post, so as any of my loyal 5 followers would know I by no means am a fan of EDM, House and any of that only computer no instrument crap which is quite common in the Gym so I usually have my earphones on while Walking or Jogging! (Yes Ladies, I can run!! CALL ME :D). I have found five songs that truly motivate me to go hard and they are as follows:-

5. Eminem Feat. Nate Dogg - "Till I collapse"


4. P.O.D. - "BOOM"


3. Papa Roach - "Getting Away with Murder"


2. Linkin Park - "By_Myslf" ( By Myself - Reanimation Album)


1. Audioslave - Cochise


There a million other songs like these, yes as I mentioned this is my blog and these are the songs that really motivate me in the gym.

In the end as long as you are in the gym and looking after your health and your self,  thats great, if not  then bring a pint of beer and come lets do some real excersize, NBA 2K16 anyone interested? Tell me more about what you listen too. Comment below!
