Boring New Year

With every passing year my holiday's are getting more and more boring. All my friends have gotten old. Even my 'Wild Side' has taken a hit. There's nothing much that can be done. Just trying to wonder what can I do to cheer up my new year. Let's see, 1. See if my car reaches 150 kmph. 2. Try crashing into Elevate dressed up like a hot chick. 3. Call Police Station and try selling gigolo-services. 4. Try a 'Ganga-Bhang' cocktail on top of my building. 5. Get my name in 'Limca Book of Records' by patting maximum number of girls on their back. 6. Get my name in 'Guineas Book of Records' by kicking maximum number of guys on their nuts. 7. Go to Wagah Border and piss on the Paki soil. 8. Pay a surprise visit to my married friends and hog dinner till morning. 9. Get an expensive call girl, ask what she takes to do ANYTHING. She'll say a few thousand rupees. Pay her advance and make her wash your curtains. (Would love to see her jump out of the ...

I'm changing

This is a really bad sign coz' it means I'm not thinking. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with me now. I mean, I've always been bubbling with turbulent thoughts almost through-out my life. And now all of a sudden my calm and at peace...! It's a bit uncanny to loose your ability to come up with nasty ideas. :( Probably, I'm travelling to much and I need a break. Probably I'm getting too old for my previous ways of thinking. Or probably because I'm actually achieving 'peace of mind'.

Temperature's Soaring, Load-shedding, India Shining

As Usual, no electricity and I fear going off to bed. The moment I lay down on my bed and just when I'm about of go off to my dreams, the deafening silence strikes. I open my eyes and see the fan coming to a halt like an ailing warrior who's been martyred not by enemy bullets but by lack of supplies... Not giving up, I shut my eyes hard and try to sleep; only to realize after 5 minutes that that my eyes have started aching and my smooth dry skin is getting soaked in my own sweat. I still didn't give up. I stood up, took a bed-sheet and soaked it partially in water, squeezed it and Ahhhh.. This feels good on my skin. I've managed to defeat the heat. I've managed to do the impossible: to keep myself cool even in load-shedding. Feeling proud of my "lateral thinking", I start to walk towards my bed. In spite of all problems that life poses, we the Indians come out strong. Hats-off to our "Gugar Capabilities". Every Indian is born with it. That's ...

Stupidity Quotient

Yes, Tank full. I got some good fuel in the evening and poured it to the tank and then strated to drive. 2 hrs with my talk full of Royal Stag, I drove like mad. Went to places where sane individuals donot think of going in the nights... But what to do. I lost my sanity long back. I lost it to the great gambler: Life. At 3 in the night, police caught us to interrogate.. They realized that we were good people and told is that it was stupid to drive at such odd hours. As if I didn't knew that!! But what the hell.. there is stupidity all around. The whole society is acting stupid. Why should I not follow the popular trend. I guess the police refered to the degree of stupidity I displayed by driving so late in that area!! If that's the case, then I guess by "Stupidity Quotient" is gonna go up a bit more. I'm 29 yrs old and am sick and tired of watching days of my life passingby with not a single memorable moment getting registered in my head for future. How am I gonna...

The Night I was thrown out

We went out to Greater NOIDA for a drive. Then came back and bought 4 more beers + 2 Kg Chicken; went over to my place and cooked and drank and ate till 2 in the night. Then Sandeep and Gaurav started going back and I went down with them to see them off. To my utter dismay, When I came back, I realized that Soma had locked the door from inside and gone off to sleep (she was too tired yesterday). I kept banging the door for 30 mins, but she was dead asleep. Those were the moments of my helplessness. Anyway, I went off to my car to sleep, but mosquitoes were hell bent to suck by blood out dry. So I drove back to office (in my pajamas and Hawaii chappal)! Spent 2 hrs in here all sleepy, exhausted and disgusted… At 5:30 am I reached back home and started banging the door again. This time she woke up and was kind enough to open the door for me. I was absolutely furious. But before I could yell at her, she said “I’m sorry Anu”, and went off to sleep again… It’s mid-day and I’m still half as...

Dalai Lama's Dilemma

Dalai Lama says: "Tibet is an integral part of China but Tibetans want autonomy". Why Dalai Lama does accepts Tibet as an integral part of China? Tibet has a geographical and social environment very different from China. Moreover, Tibet was never a part of China until 50s when China took over. It was a hostile takeover.Dalai Lama should have made a huge hue and cry through out the last 50 years for freedom. But he didn't do it for some reason. Now Tibetan Primer accepts Tibet an integral part of China gives away all hopes of making Tibet a free nation. For me, it's like giving away without the doomsday fight. For a non-resident Tibetan it's a total failure. Had I been a part of Tibetan community, I would have felt cheated by Dalai Lama; giving away my land to the Chinese. But hey, hang-on. Dalai Lama is not supposed to fight!!! He's Dalai Lama. Now this is exactly what happens when religion and politics gets mixed-up. Had Dalai Lama just remained a religious p...
