The Parts of Butter Chicken Part 2.

Sooooooooooo, two weeks before The Best Of Show!!!!!
I hope there is a number of people who are getting excited for the show. Rehearsals continue to run smoothly, and anyone who comes to see the show will be thoroughly entertained.
Even though this is a best of show and we are using our best sketches, none of the sketches are the same as there originals. Each sketch has new elements added to it, be it because of Leena and I tweaking a sketch, or because of our wonderful cast.
Which by the way I now call, Butter Chicken Omega(Note: I have never called them, Butter Chicken Omega, but it sounds cool. Don't you think?)
Moving on.
Last week I spoke briefly about the Men of Butter chicken, this week it's the ladies turn.

I will start with the one and only Jessica Garcia (aka The Little General)

Jessica is beautiful. Before I go any further I must make it clear that ALL the women in the show are beautiful, but each of them posses a trait that makes them breathtaking, AND HELLO, THEY ARE SO DAMN FUNNY!!! ( Don't believe me? come watch the show, I dare you.)
Jessica is very talented, and is always eager to be apart of the show no matter what the capacity. Jessica can play a number of different characters from a Latin maid to and Old Indian Mother ( come watch the show)
She is also a born leader, it is something a notice in her more and more with each passing show, hence the name, The Little General. Now if she can only stop talking about that Neyo Dance I did for her. It was one night Jessica, by they way you never called after that. I'm a man Jess not a piece of meat. I have a heart that feels...stuff. :)
Continuing on
We have the lovely Aga postawska


Aga has one of the best dead pan looks I have ever seen, you have got to be some kind of funny to make a person laugh without saying a word. She is also very Dirty, which Leena and I enjoy very much.
Someone else to enjoy is Veenu Sandhu.

Veenu had made every Character she plays her own. Her interpretation of Binder in Binder and Minder is my personal favourite, and she get along with everyone in the cast so well.
Aga and Her have become really good friends. Always so happy to see each other, hugging and touching each other, you know like girls do. Always working with each other outside of rehearsal, heck even in rehearsals they disappear for 20 to 30 min, and work on there scenes together. Let me tell you something they work HARD. They always come back to rehearsal just hot and gleaming with sweat, hair out of place with this wonderful red glow that screams, " Munish we were rehearsing really, really hard!" Then I always jokingly tell them they should go back and work even harder, and they are always so ready to do it?
God Bless them.
Rounding out the cast is Alicia Novak

The moment she auditioned we knew she had to be in the show, and she is french, or from Quebec, or no she is a Francophone. ( Which reminds me, why are all people from Quebec named after Actor James Franco? More importantly after his home telephone? Nobodies called a Sharmaphone, at least not yet.)
Alicia is and Actress who is always working and it is wonderful having her in the cast. However, she does have a seeecret, a secret so disturbing that if I told you, you would be....well I guess you would be disturbed.

If that isn't' enough to get you wanting to come to the show we also have the lovely soul singer Sabrina Saran performing at the show also.
I personally Believe that this woman as the "it" factor. The first time I heard her sing I instantly asked myself, "Self, why isn't the rest of the world listening to her?. I am very blessed to call her friend.
Come check out the show.

Stay tuned.....

The Parts of Butter Chicken Part 1.

Soooooooooooooooooo Rehearsals have officially started for The Best Of Show. The excitement is starting to build and we have a fantastic new Venue to play with in the CBC. It holds more seats which means more people can come and see what butter chicken is all about.
Yes we have a few new sketches, but the rest of the show is "the best of the breast" the chicken breast that is. :)
It's amazing to think that Leena and I have wrote and Performed in near a hundred sketches, now try and pick 23-25 sketches that you think are the most funny and entertaining. Well we did our best and everyone that comes to see the show will see. (you know you want to come. Why stop yourself form thinking otherwise? You won't be that busy during the week of the show, I know you like to laugh. I can see it in your eyes right now, the well of excitement building up, the want to laugh,have a good time. In fact thinking about laughing is making you smile right now)

Wow. That got intense.

Anyway.
To do a Great show, you need a great team and baby.... we got one.
I can only start with one of the most important people on our team, our most valuable white man (mvwm)
Jason Vaisvila

Jason has been a part of every single Butter Chicken to date. We can call him the "token" white guy, but Jason can do anything and everything. Basically because he does anything and everything. In fact Jason has played many characters in one sketch, he is that good. He plays any character be it any nationality, heck he has even become a pretty damn good Bollywood Dancer. It's amazing to watch him work with Leena. As and actor sometimes the hardest challenge is working with other actors, but when these to get together it's like they already know what each other is thinking or about to do.
Its to bad they strait don't like each other.
They can't even stand being in the same room together, in fact even when they are in the same room everyone feels like they have been slimmed and covered with this goo of sexual tension. Sometimes I feel so dirty after rehearsal that I have to go home and take a shower and do Pooja (my girlfriend) just to feel better. ( It got so intense in one rehearsal that Leena actually straddled Jason in one of the Sketches)
I really hope they work it out. For the sake of the team.
Next we have Kulveer Taggar and Kallol Mitra our resident Good looking brown boys. They are such a joy to work with that I even think of them when writing any Sketch.
Kallol Mitra


Kallol was born a comedian. Well actually he was born a Bengali Dynamo, but he is also very funny. Kallol just naturally gets comedy and he, much like Kulveer, has become a fantastic actor. Kallol is an Idea guy, he gets our comedy and is always thinking of other Sketches we can create. BUT I also know he is plotting to take me out of Butter Chicken. I see him always plotting, looking at me with his Bengali eyes. ( Quick substitute Hungry Eyes, from Dirty Dancing to Bengali Eyes. No real reason, it's just funny. you should try it. I can wait http://www.youtube.com/watchv=rI4fzajz3Ok........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ see. it's funny right?)
Well you won't get it Kallol Mitra! Not now, not EVER. Not even if there was a flood and I was drowning and you were all like, " Just say you will leave Butter Chicken and I will save you."
I would say, " No Kallol Mitra! NO. I would sooner drown.

Next we have Kulveer "Kevin" Taggar.


Kevin's Cool......... Yeah that's about it. :)
Ok, but seriously, actually no not seriously only kind of seriously.
Kulveer Singh Dhillion Gill Taggar is the most hard working and intelligent person I know. It's not everyday you get at Economist/Engineer/Entrepreneur/Robot wanting to act, but we have one. And he is GORGEOUS!
For someone who was not a trained actor he has come a long way, and he gets better and better with every show.
I only wish he could control his addiction.
Yes, Kevin has a problem and it's called "Big Desiitus" Kevin believe that he is some kind of Body Builder.
He is always talking about "Training" and about a "Trainer" who has no real name I might add. He works out in a "Gym" in "Surrey", the Name of which we have never heard. He always tells us about how much he is eating, and how many "Kg's" he weighs.
Don't Worry Kevin we will get Through this.
Together.
All Jokes Aside,( for the time being we will put them on the left side) it is fantastic working with these fine Gentlemen.
It's Ok that one of them wants to sleep with my sister, the other wants me dead, and one thinks he is the Incredible Jutt ( A new Sketch maybe?) I love working with them.

Next up the ladies.

Ipod March 06 April 10

On April 7, 2010 I lost my Ipod ( single tear)
I have to make it clear this was not some ordinary electronic device for me. It was my Companion.
I can still remember the song I was listing to when the bus first pulled into Vancouver over 3 years ago. It was Alicia Key's, If I I ain't Got you ft Usher. How did I lose it? It fell out of my pocket while I was looking at a confusing text getting off the bus. I guess my Ipod wasn't supposed to go where I was going.
So I just want to say Thank you Ipod.
Thanks for filling my head with beautiful music, when I was only worth $18 walking up and down hasting st near PNE telling me to Turn the Page.
Thanks for being my own personal Night Club, before I owned a stereo or computer. Dancing in my room like an Idiot :)
You told me I could fly, that This years love will last, reminded me I live in a Mad world.
You asked me What makes a man? Told me of the Best I Ever Had.
Others use Ipods to tune the world out, you help to teach me what the world is all about.
I bought I steel black case to protect your soft covering so I could use you when I went to the gym. you protected me from going insane.
My friend, I took her everywhere, to work, to a night out on the town, even when I went to get a haircut.
You only could hold 200 songs, but each song had a specific meaning to me.
It's not easy Being Green- Kermit the frog (A song for the child in me)
Waiting in Vain-Bob Marley (For the Girls who made me feel this way)
Brown Sugar- D angelo ( I gets high of your love don't know how to behave)
You are So Beautiful-Joe Cocker (Regina)
Kabhi Kabhi- Mukesh
Rude Boy- Rhianna (for the ladies in the club)
True all of these songs are on my ITunes, but they are all on there for you. Many of the 1000 songs I have, have played at least once on your 200 song cycle.
You where the last material keep sake I had that reminded me of "Regina Munish" Now you to have become my past.
When I plugged you in, you connected to my heart
Thank you Ipod. I will miss you.

Kiss version 1

So I stumbled upon my MYSPACE account today and found the FRIST blog I ever wrote. So I thought I would share it. And it doesn't require me to write so much at this point and time. Old school Blog I was 25.

Kiss
Dear you.

Don't forget what I said,"you won't know if you don't try'.

Scared? Sometimes it will be hard to breathe, but the breath will come.

you are worth it! you will always be worth it.

Do you understand what I mean? Sorry I am a horrible speller, I don't proof read, and my grammar sucks.

IF they don't care, they won't be there or their or whatever it is.

Kiss......kissssssss, kiss goodbye, kiss to try, kiss for good luck, kiss my ass, Kiss me if you mean it. Kiss me, close your eyes, and remeber me. Hell, Kiss me to forget me.

Boo hoo....oh my life is so hard.....I am so sad....boo hoo. (Please there is two things you can do, solve your problem or push it way down inside and let it F#ck you up some more.)

I am nothing, I am nobody special, I am dirty, damaged------But you tried to Fix me, and you always will.

I should have hugged you longer.

I could have listen to you.

Please don't be afraid, this is the bed you have made.

You have and always will live in the moment (hell sometimes you suck the moment dry)

You are respnosible for ALL of your actions( it's not everyone elses fault)

IF you are depressed, remember:

1) Bad things happen to good people, becuase they can handle it.

2) Life is as fair as you make it.

3) Someone always understands.

4) Don't lie to yourself or you will live with it for the rest of your life.

5) You matter, if not to him or her or them.---Then to me.

6) Give it your all

7) IF you try and fail,THEN you learn and become stronger. IF you try and succeed,....Well that is the whole point anyway.

This is about many people, but mostly it's about a extremely scared young man who was about the enter the next stage of his life.
