Dude, where's my vodka??


this place called mumbai sure is a strange one. i arrived here by train yesterday morning and as i stepped out of the station, i noticed how quaint it really was.
firstly, for some inexplicable reason, everyone was fully clothed. i mean, what were they thinking?? doesn't anyone sunbathe topless out here? bring out the bikinis, people!
and then, from whatever little i could see of their skin, they seemed to be a shade darker than the reddishly sunburnt caucasian locals in the place i had come from. their tattoos and body piercings seemed to be missing too, or maybe they were hidden under all those clothes.
another puzzling aspect of this place was that everyone seemed to be sober. i mean, not even minimally inebriated! i suspect that you're a bit skeptical about my astonishing observations, but yes, this is the bitter truth. bitter....that reminds me, i better pick up some beer on the way home. and some vodka to wash it down.
the traffic here seems to be tremendously disciplined too. hardly anyone ever drives at break-neck speeds into opposing lanes of traffic. i wonder what the inhabitants here do for excitement.maybe i was away in goa for just 4 days, but i suspect it's going to take a little longer than that to get back to reality. well then, so be it. cheers!

-- come to pune and let sonali/anupam drive you around town...you'll realise that goa doesnt even come into the picture when it comes to driving in opposite lanes. add potholes and you will wish you were perpetually inebriated.

Well well well, you're going to need some valium rather than the vodka if you're going to pune after this

Misgovernment

Is it just me or does the functioning of the Indian government seem totally ridiculous? I've never understood the concept of a company where it's practically impossible for anyone to get fired, regardless of how good or bad they are at work. Nor can i understand the mentality of a person who applies for a government job for the sole purpose of this so-called "job security" where he, once into the job, has absolutely no accountability and almost zero probability of getting fired or laid off. Not only that, if he sticks around long enough, they're going to continue paying him for as long as he lives, even after he's stopped working. I think this is exactly what breeds the frustratingly sloppy attitude of employees at any government or municipal run office. One visit to the local RTO and you'll know exactly what i mean. I don't really blame the employees that much. It's simply human nature, at least for the larger section of society, to be content wit...

The Name's Blog, Web-Log

Image
Having successfully survived the initial craze of blogging , i'll have to admit that this was rather unexpected. Yet here i find myself, having created a blog and now about to publish my first post. Kind of like losing your virginity, though not quite as exciting. Honestly, i've never really understood the concept of a blog, but i'm hoping to learn soon enough. Journals and diaries have inherently been a very private affair, so the concept of a public journal is rather ingenious. I recently even heard the term "Blook" being used, which, in case you don't know or haven't already guessed, is some sort of book written and published via a blog. I'm sure they could have coined a better name for it. Quite a novel idea (forgive the bad pun) anyway and i think it might actually help aspiring writers like myself. After all, when you're going to be an engineer you really have to consider alternative career options. So if there's a slump in the IT industr...

As long as it's Red

On the occassion of Holi - a post dedicated to the phenomenon that is Colour . My very first box of crayons had exactly six colours in it. SIX. I hadn't learnt to count by then but i wondered nonetheless, how i would ever be able to remember all their names. When i was a little older, my teacher informed me that there existed, in fact, seven colours, all VIBGYOR of them (Not counting black and white, for they are not considered as colours at all). Somehow, to me the concept of how the rainbow was formed seemed a lot simpler than trying to distinguish between violet and indigo. One of my later boxes of crayons had over 30 colours, including at least 5 shades of yellow and 8 shades of blue. It was then that i decided i'd stick to the 7 that i knew and hopefully my life will never depend on having to identify various shades of them. However, i soon realised that this definitely wasn't the case with everyone else i knew, least of all the female species. Women somehow seem to l...
