Italian is the New Punjabi

1 Minute Stories on Self-Love, TimeTravel & Lifestyle

 


Italian is the New Punjabi


Solo backpacking is the best medicine

 

Ciao

The pope came to pick me in a Porsche!

Nobody: How was Europe
Me: I have 1 word for ya “Expensive”

I can write a book to paint a picture soon
But lets just get on with an anecdote maybe a fable for dummies, Well I have something which is idiot proof, Tips for morons

who knows it could be how to Meet the love of your life
Solitary wanderer, not a Nomad, an Explorer, Maybe a Globetrotter
Remember - Famous doesn’t mean the best
This is true for all Places, People & Food

On my way I realised the most stupid thing ever on an aircraft are the curtains to hide the first class
While what i missed the most isn’t my bed nor my comfort food neither the lovely weather “no pun intended”
It’s the Bum gun, you know what I’m talking about
call me Hedonistic

Its a theory but what do I know
Simply TimeTravel back 600 years
This isn’t about how to go on a Honeymoon, while it’s not for beginners haha! Trust me Experience counts
Neither is this about an Uncle Auntie Vacay
This Crazy story is about how to Explore the planet & find your own Peace
I’m a different animal


Let me introduce you with a few terms that are defined to help you good folks understand

 

Free - /;
You must pay more to get it


Yuck - /;
When you have Italian in an Indian restaurant

Sing it like a song

From Pub crawling The Ruin Bars in Budapest to the famous Hammam Thermal baths
Or exploring Places, Basilicas, Neo-Gothic towns, ancient ruins, Churches, wine taverns & everything good Breaking it down to Piazza, Piano, bell tower, Duomo, Fresco art architecture - Story painted on each wall & ceiling
& yum food

 

Hey you, Front & centre
Stay right there don’t move
“Hold my beer”
it was Yaba-daba-dooo time
I was Possessed, everything here is from time itself
I’m busy carrying my bag, Let me try the Wine now…
Just Struggling on vacation

It started with Rome, which was magnificent, A slice of Italy

As Bella would say “See Italy & slowly Die peacefully”
When in Rome Do as the Romans haha sounds funny
I was like a kid in Chaotic-fuckin-candyland, Breathtaking views
Michelangelo was charging €10 for siting & €100 for a shower of blessings near a fountain only then you get anything
I loved getting lost in the labyrinth charm of the ancient passages of Roma

Loving & living the Roma local

Mentally I’m here, Italians are as so much like Punjabis in more than many ways you can imagine
Loud
Cool or they think they are
While out & down Punjabis are tacky however think they are the coolest, ya right Absomotherfuckinlutely not
& of course both are
big show offs
Love eating “Makhani Pizza”,

If an Indian spots another its like they were lifetime separated to have met again… a fuckin fairytale come alive

Exceptionally seen people standing in lines for oversubscribed venues- from museums to joints
For me they are overrated
Spare me while you kids who waste life ticking em off
“Cities are museums” you can walk every narrow lane & passages to explore the crafted beauty

Everyday i used to walk an average of 15 Kms
Far out dude
Doing nothing, just Living Europe in 100% Effortless mode
When Pizza was born…
Dancing with the Gelatos
Nothing short of incredible

You spend your life to earn money & then spend your money to gain experiences


Too many people AF, Robbed me of my solitude
My battery is always low on social skills
Safe to say i have none whatsoever
for what’s it worth i give zero fucks

Pompei was the coolest thing i saw
The ancient town is beyond words
I have fallen short of words to even paint a picture for you folks

Pilgrim Road to Siena the town of rivalries
Over centuries, Competition is what they live for… I mean it was game of thrones shit
Merchants & Bankers is what Italy is famous for

Grandpa Denero has invited me again
Hit me up for a road trip on my Ferrari from Tuscany to Amalfi

I met Someone, Someone who loved taking my pix
I would like to thank my Tripod who is my new best friend, Took like a million pix
Views Like a painting
It doesn’t disappoint, no drama & gives you exactly what you want no matter how many times you ask
Go to my socials- insta handle arjun_the_storyteller to checkout my cool stupid yet fun travel journey captured

I left to forget about it all…
The recipe is Just like the right amount of crazy, know where you going, where you lay your head
Met lot of people from across the world & different walks of life
Touching a few smiles & moving to the next

If i stay here a few more hours
I could live a few more years
I wish to come back for more

I’m not sure why people missed me
I think they were just J
I hate to break it to you… but that was my Mission which is accomplished

Don’t fix it just get on with it
Zero Fucks to phone connection, i only need my phone as a camera
💯 lost & loved it

Finding the unknown


Dear Vacation
You can come again anytime, you are always welcome
Yours Truly

To sum up
I’ve covered most can even cover in a lifetime

3 strange facts & completely useless things for wannabes to add to your next

Go on Foot everywhere
#1 you explore more by going off the road & get pleasantly surprised by covering it all
As you say, stop & smell the roses

#2 helps save lot of bucks

#3 you stay in shape, good exercise to make you look effortlessly hot like french fries, No not you
Which reminds me
I’ve been reminded that everyone is Dumb AF
On the trip a girl asked if French Fries are American?
Like the name itself gives out the country for crying out loud
The new generation has no hope

Jokes apart you have to be physically mentally & lets never forget financially prepared to let go

Its best like a free fall
If you see my itinerary you might get dizzy if not collapse by just looking at it

taking my Italian Tan move to the next

Grazie
As buggsy said “that’s all folks“

So I double dip

1 Minute Stories on Self-Love, TimeTravel & Lifestyle

 


So I double dip


“When you don’t give a shit & have achieved the highest order of nirvana

 

Freedom makes you crazy
Free to be the best version of yourself
Crazy to do beyond normal
Tough yet a journey i don’t have a map for

You will be surprised, Do your absolute worst

Like who gives a fuck how you pronounce cappuccino or Porsche
tell this guy with the Confidence racing a Suzuki small hatchback & thinks he’s cool AF to get lost


While i used to chase it
Now it’s after me, don’t get ahead of yourself. I’m just talking about time if not the flight I catch while I scribble this one…
Airport has become my 3rd place

Like my boss says, the George Clooney from the flick “up in the air”

Last night, I heard “I’m still vertical, Lets change that
After the 5th tequila everything is a flash
Protagonist: My Elusive Girl whom i fell in love with last night is missing

Dancing with Champa Chameli while she was so Free
Also me: they met 1st time last night & she never gave her name

Lets get down to it, my reminiscence to put it simply - They live in the zoo while I live in the jungle
He learnt much while taught enough

Just like my muscles & polishing my writing skills, I also Exercise to be better in a relationship, I always learn from the Protagonist

I can write a Dissertation, Avant-garde

They are like political opinions, while they don’t matter still you might get into trouble
Very 80s, Bombs away

 

Kind of friends
Those who you bitch with, shenanigans

Those who you sleep with, duuu… your boyfriend
Those who you party with, those dancing last night
Those who exchange reels with, ya that’s a New thing
I used to never hate anyone
Now I don’t like anyone
I realized that I’m my favourite


A Gen Alpha at an age 30 - just messaging without receiving replies

10:00 babe i miss you
10:01 are you angry
10:02 are you serious
10:05 I’m so done
10:07 breaking up with you
10:10 you know I love you na
10:14 I hate you
10:15 I can’t edit or cancel my previous messages in the latest iOS

This story isn’t about time travel neither is this about Generations

This Story is about the way you think & why you think the way you do

More importantly who planted that seed that makes you decide if something is wrong or the concept of right because you have defined them in your peanut brain

Or maybe just makes me look like an even bigger Ass

 

Once upon a time not so long ago…
She said: you can be anyone’s snack but you’re my main course
Embellished, There was a Poem of a person

The world is a better place with you in it
doesn’t all this sound so beautiful?

Celebrate you like i should
She identifies herself as a Shape maybe a Circle, definitely not a polygon
All she wants is Reassurance

Also me: i like how you move
Narrative is impossible to describe, Now I understand why she called me her Arm candy
It all started when I told her that I have 1 word for you
RUN
She started talking in capital letters: So I double dip


My mess, What can I say I have the Gift of the gab


Double standards be like
Auntie: you have lost weight
Me: you have gained weight
Auntie: thats mean
Also me: you started it
Matlab moti bolna is insensitive, while Zero fucks to shouting Patla
Patla hona is Boring AF while Moti has Bechari card

She started talking in capital letters: So I double dip

 

Now you can understand my predicament.

Life is so easy with all things safe ‎

My Shrink: how’s it going?
Me: never been better
Slim chance of telling if a girl is interested in me
That sounded perfect in the same sentence


Let me Level with you
I have an opportunity while others don’t

I have an opinion while others don’t
I express while others can’t
Make up your melons
Probably soon enough i will know you more than yourself
Thats the stuff right there
Give me my Puruskar

Aaoo Kabhi Haveli pe

Smiling at Strangers

1 Minute Stories on Self-Love, TimeTravel & Lifestyle

 


Smiling at Strangers


I beat the hell out of my Monday to make it dance like a Sunday

 

I am here to make Simple Pleasures look easy, just like If you aren’t able to get over it then You might have to get under it

Ready or not here I come, if you are dumb or dumber then I probably think you can take a nap
Someone called me great today, Well actually I’m only accepting good things
So i just trimmed it while he called me a great loser
Absomotherfuckinlutely Dancing With Myself
I travelled a great distance to tell Tumhari Haar mein kaise Jeet hogi
Losing My favourite game

“Pyar mohabat love aur dhoka aasli hota hai”

She said: why are you so hot?
Also me: I wasn’t in zumba class & definitely didn’t step out in the sun
Aiyo aiyo aiyo, Struggle itna struggle kyo

Define Privilege - pata rahi hai ‎
but yet again you are Lalu

Everyone has their own & lives their own… How to make it easy, you ask? If you have a problem you must either have a big one or maybe a Struggle to go on a hot date with your Crush! Marilyn Monroe is Rolling in her grave

Rolex on your wrist tells you that it’s a great time for you
While it tells everyone else that its your time
But yet again ask this Rolex person the struggle at this time, you will be surprised

Struggle is real for everyone in their own way
Time defines it even better, When you are young broke & stupid, You are down for whatever
You can’t agree more when Mr X isn’t able to go on vacation, which is = to a pay cut for another
The feeling is same

This story is about a man called Dick, in a land far far away not so long ago…
Dick had multiple lovers & a few so called girlfriends, at the same time! No no not in the same room. That would get complicated

He used to say “mein dark chocolate khana toh nahi chordunga agar gulab jamun pasand aaya

Sometimes life gives you a reason to believe there are even more magical things on this incredible journey into the future
Like a drop-dead gorgeous girl in a hot pink dress
I found something beautiful that i wasn’t looking for
what was her name?

Dick: I believe in stopping gazing smelling the roses soaking it all in along the way
My problems are to remember the names of all girls I’m dating
Now that sounds like a real problem. Struggle ho toh aisi ho

 

Dear 1st date, Nobody knew her name
You can have your secrets, that way I can keep mine
Yours Truly
Dick

 

She was the girl I fell in love with long ago

Like a bird, I sing because I’m free

 

We live in a world where people can’t accept anything
I mean not even a compliment
If someone finds beauty worth appreciating then it’s a crime like WTF you did, usually gender bias -she will go: what? You said something nice about me (you can kill me now)
When did compliments become so terrible
the world has forgotten how to accept anything even a compliment
Forget giving
I know it more When you say nothing
she was Boring AF

Its fun to meet new people
They are like fresh friends
Ab toh jo bhi pyar se mila hum usike holiye
Dating is now what you kids call meeting new people

What did the sugar say to spice
You can never be too sweet

Just like i can pick you up for a date
You can pick up the phone & dial me

Dick: I walk in wearing my confidence the only thing i carry off best
Its the longest that stays with me yet the most exciting thing in my life
You may argue how can you do it so often & not get bored
If truth be told how much is too much
There is always room for more

The Crush

she was Crazy about my hands
I met her slowly
The time between us made it richer to learn more of her mind
more of her ways
more of her moves
more about this incredible woman
She is better than me
Smarter than me
All things beautiful

She said: 1st things first
You can have it if you want it
Can you handle it
I know what I don’t want, No sleepovers
Satisfaction guaranteed

Dick: It’s not because you are mine
It’s because you are fine


Women are the most lethal negotiators
You don’t believe me, let me paint a picture for you

Jealousy
Your sister looks beautiful, (he meant hot)
That girl dances well, (he meant a fan of how she moves)
She said in a condescending tone: why are you here, go tell her


Possessive
Let me pick you up (relax he doesn’t lift that much)
Duuu (fuck off nazi)
opening the car door
I know you kids are confused but this is for him to earn brownie points

in the mall - She said in the sweetest way possible: can you carry my LV, its too heavy


Obsessive
I want to do a video call now (where the fuck are you & who are you with???!!!)
that’s all folks


Balle belle

She talks like my lady
She walks like my lady
is this my lady

Dick complimented her girl who asked how do I look

You look fabulous
Like every girl’s mirror
Like every man’s fantasy
Can’t take my eyes off you


Yaba daba dooo

We all are always Looking for a good story
Dick has a Crush


Dick: You are the most interesting thing that happened to me
she is Out of my league
The Crush loves to watch the sun go down
in the mean while Dick does his Swayamwar Dance
I know in my afterlife I’ll go to hell because I’m living in heaven
