Definition of a 'Blook' - 'Best-loo-book'

The series of books titled ‘Horn OK Please’ (HOP) is meant to look at the sunny side of life and experiencing India through the eyes of an educated and a successful individual in the Corporate Sector. It explores the growing up of progressive individuals in urban India, childhood adventures, adult experiences and the breaking of barriers with emotional maturity and lightened by humor. This is the picture of India 2.0, or a breed of urban Indians who are addicted to Social Media. The frivology is meant for the Global Indian who loves adventure sports, road-trips, travel, healthy flirting and heavy rock music. This cult is known as HOP on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/hopfans). This is the face of the new breed of educated Indians. Fan up today & download your slice of life.

We like a bit of fun over here. It delivers hope in terms of aspiration and freedom from mundane, mere existence. It is a symbol of pure commercialism, long drives lived through the book and a positive view of India as a nation and is meant to be an eye-opener for Western media. And while we are spreading smiles and cheer in an otherwise negative world, there is a huge tilt to charity. HOP embraces the Tibetan Children’s SOS Village at Choglamsar, Leh and the Mahesh Memorial Foundation that deals with cancer patients. In fact, this is my humble and honest attempt towards changing the World. It’s 69% selfish, 31% selfless for it’s my way and the highway. That’s the philosophy HOP, this frivology of Blooks (World’s Greatest Loo Books) aim to deliver.

This is a series of Books that’s written, designed and directed by the fans of HOP, who are called ‘HOPpers’ on Facebook. Every true HOPper has it as his/her middle name. It is not a travelogue. It is meant to be a humorous journey across the country. Every chapter starts with a poetic snippet, describes an experience and has a warped moralistic end with pointers from a community. Through the eyes of a compulsive roadie, I demonstrate translation of the dreams of a bold new India I call India 2.0, a dream translated into a thought to seed the tree of progressive behavior. It is aimed at questioning the rudimentary and plain simple existence in every kilometer of the book, and to look at the goodness and prosperity that is evident across a booming India.

For some of you, these books are work of pure fiction, for others, it is the reality. 155% humor, 50% of profits to Tibetan Children's SOS Village (Choglamsar) and Mahesh Memorial Foundation (CHennai). Sponsor a child today, ask me how.

Meet the Morons, these are the characters of the 'Horn OK Please' Series of Blooks:

About Chief Red bull, the Author: “I am like Dr. Jekyll, who works his day job all day, while HOPper Hyde waits for the day to get over. Fuck off, Batman! As a roadie and writer, I get thoroughly confused between conjunctions and railway junctions, verbs and kerbs. At work, for anything, anybody wants, I churn out Power point presentations. I am slowly turning into a real Picasso - painting facts that I dream up while sleeping in boring meetings and conference calls. I call my writing table a 'Pen-in-Sula'. It can hold up my research books, my laptops, roadmaps and a few bottles of red wine. I like to call myself an anti-author and a compulsive humor monger. I'm not an RJ, not a VJ, but an anti-author, who's writing a blook a year till I die. That makes me....er......a BJ? A Blook Jockey. They call me Chief Redbull.”

About Goose Goldsmith, Photographer and professional lecher: “I am a photographer, a diehard roadie and a freak of nature. I am full of fun and shit. I am a dude who loves House Music and Classic Rock. I also listen to Tiesto when I'm down with fever. Armed with my new Nikon D5000, I am also putting together a coffee table book. I usually walk around with stubble. I am fun. And hell, we're going to have loads of fun in this ongoing virtual reality show on Facebook, while I scout around for my perfect life-partner. I like taking pictures that make me happy. It's about India 2.0 and the spirit of our great nation. I love cockroaches too. I love my friends. I aim to please. You aim too, please.”

About Derek Demonia, the ‘Thing’: “I am a brawny, aggressive, fun-loving, bashful road-hog. I care a hang about anything. I live my/our life to the fullest and I have absolutely no purpose in life. I join the trip so we can have fun and help the Chief and Goose live out their fantasies, as they need my help. I am schizophrenic. And hell, we care a hang, as we are the true depiction of Generation of X, Y and Z. Both of us in me watch over Goose. Hound and the Chief as they do the Full-Monty of India. We are there, for we define the wild side of India 2.0. I love my friends.”

About Hound Hitchhiker: “I’m an NRI who lives in the UK. I’m AFU (All fucked up) my life doesn’t belong to me. It spiraled out of my control way back when I left India and chose to settle own abroad. I’ve been so caught up in the vicious circle of life that revolves around two women. I keep alternating between reality and delusions because of my love and my muse. Unfortunately, it’s taken a toll on me and now I am so caught up between two women that I keep going round in circles every time I try to sort things out. No, I’ve not written any books about galaxies and space travel.”

About Motormouth: The talking SUV - A Jeep with superpowers, she has a mind of her own and drives the roadies crazy with her antics. Everybody loves her.

NB: All characters are purely a figment of my imagination. The Books contain explict, fuckin' language
