I got engaged

Sorry for the long pause in postings. !st I had my dad in hospital for a minor operation. His nostril was blocked, the septum was to be corrected and he had a lot of polyps which had to be removed. A 2 hour operation but it took time. Pre-operation and post operation care etc.

Then I got engaged on Wednesday last. So preparations of thats and then recuperating from the event the hang over is still there though. Its a lovely feeling being engaged to THE person. NOw the whole thing of the marriage starts. Am getting married on the 23rd December by-the-way. Please readers my friends please be there.

Will be more quick in postings. Sorry people.

Too much Nostalgia

This is one of the things which I think most of us living in India before the cable days grew up on. Check it out and do tell me. It kind of brings tears to my eyes.

Ideas of Fun

I am thinking most people didn't well understand my earlier post. What fun na?!

I think the idea of fun changes according to age. when we were kids we did different things like break brand new toys just for fun, much to the plight of our parents. Then when in school jump around, get dirty, tease other children, make fun of the teacher etc.

As teenagers the focus shifts from "silly" things like jumping to playing video games or musical instruments, one-day picnics, or just going for coffee at a cafe. Then when we come to the twenties we change to maybe shopping ( cause some of us do part time jobs), eationg out, watching movies or plays, exploring far of locales etc. Somewhere in the late twenties we change yet again to attending musicals, having wine, reading Russian or German novels, doing some adventure, going on longer trips and the list goes on.

Then slowly some of us get married and have joint fun with ones spouse( not in the double meaning way ha ) Of course then we get kids of our own and the cycle continues. For the parents its fun to watch their babies grow up, though there are emotions, attachments, responsibilities etc but over all its Fun.

My Ideas of Fun
1. Watch TV especially news channels
2. Sleep
3. Read funny articles in magazines and newspapers.
4. Do some adventure. Go for a ferry ride on Gate Way of India for example.
5. Irritate my brother.

I believe by the end of the activity you did one must say either to oneself or out loud ,
" That was Fun!!!!" or " What Fun that was!!!!"

What are your ideas of fun? Bolo Bolo Tell Tell?!?!

Thinking Twice

There are some things which people don't really think twice before doing. Somethings work out good when some people don't think twice. While certain other people aren't thats lucky. It's very strange how certain people don't realize what they are doing is right or wrong.

For example ( the good effect people) certain people don't think twice before expressing their emotions. Well sometimes thats a good thing but sometimes its not. The people who say it on your face think that they are doing you a big favour, they say " I am like that, very frank. I say what I feel. Take it or leave it." I think its nice to be frank and all but then you also must be ready to face the consequences.

Then there are some people who are complete opposite of the 1st category, they don't say anything till it is unbearable. Then when they say it they don't think twice. They are worse than the 1st category because theirs are bottled up emotions related to the past, related to the character and nature of the event unfolded in front of her/him.

These are serious issue or matters. Some other situations are such where we as "Indians" don't think twice before doing ( there could be exceptions to the case I don't want a Devilish experience here). For example throwing rubbish on the roads, throwing stuff outside our windows, sometimes even spitting on the street, pushing elderly people on railway stations and the list continues.

I think without these people there would be no entertainment. Its nice to observe such events and think about where we stand. But also I am not saying that if someone litters the surroundings you must keep quite about it. I don't allow it myself. Well I fall into the category of people who don't think twice before asking someone to stop littering. I believe if you can't clean then don't make the place dirty.

What say my readers can we not litter please THINK TWICE before you want to. We wouldn't do it if we were in the west would we?!

Some Kiddish Poems

I was sitting one day and thinking what to do, my brother who plays amazing guitar, was playing the instrument on my side, when I thought of writing a poem. They are very kiddish though but still I thought " What the heck I am still a kid myself na so doesn't matter."

Here goes.

1.

Where has the rain gone?
Leaving all of us alone,
Has it gone to a place we call home?
Oh, my Dear Lord, where has the rain gone?

2.

The rain has left us dry,
In the sun we almost fry,
Keeping cool in the fan is what we try,
Really, the rain has left us dry.

3.

Brother of mine asked if I would speak in rhymes throughout the night,
In my mind I thought that I probably just might,
That gave me a lot to think about gave me some sight,
This all unfolded when brother asked if I would speak in rhymes all night.

This is what I wrote don't know how it is but it is what it is.

A flood of small events

Its amazing how one wants to watch a movie when you don't really understand the language. Well ya I am talking about Sivaji The Boss. Oh what a movie it was. Well i can't say that I didn't understand it at all, there was quite a lot that i did get. Rajnikant is par excellence. He is an experience everyone must have. Readers please don't deprive yourselves by not having such a mind blowing experience.

Then there was and is the most awaited and talked about thing this season. Well it is the season so to speak. I am talking about the rains. There were the usual suspects which was the flooding of Milan Subway, Taxi's over charging, people generally getting wet, News channels flooded with flood news, trees uprooting etc etc. How much happens because of the rains. Oh My God.

Getting a car from the showroom is another cute and personal experience. There is the explaination about the different documents, the initial wait of wanting to see what the car looks like, then the car is unveiled and pictures taken, a small Pooja done, coconut broken, and then the car comes to you. It's is so personal that one has to go through it to know. I can only explain the procedure. Well it's something similar to Child birth I guess.

There was also the experience of being a part of ones best friend's happiest moment. The event was of a proposal and the girl accepting it. The moment is one thing and witnessing it is another. Well it does help being friend to both, but it has its pros and cons.

Overall life is good. I choose it to be.

My Experiences With The Taxis Of Mumbai

Contrary to what other people say I have never had any unpleasent experience with taxi drivers. Ya a couple of times I did go through the ordeal of not having change etc.

I feel their lives are pretty sad. Entire day driving, manouver traffic, go through the tantrums of the passangers, being away from family and most of all their health. I think we need to respect them. What say?!?!

They are human beings and working like most of us. Some drivers have terrible tempers, they yell at the pedestrians or at other drivers. Some have a sense of humour they can laugh and make you laugh. Some are sweet ( if you know what I mean). Some are very knowledgeable like they know about new technology, latest news local national, and they can talk about health and ayurveda etc. Some come with surprise packages, this one driver spoke to me in fluent english was a shock and surprise at the same time. Others have a Please-dont-look-or-talk-to-me kind of look.

Personally I think we must make them feel relaxed and chill them out. Don't talk to them like you own them. For example if they have their FM radio on then don't yell asking them to shut it. Same thing can be done in a polite manner. They like it and appreciate it and whats more they will drive better and will be relaxed also.

I think all we need to know that they have made life simple and faster for us. Otherwise our Meters would be down.

Hand Writing and its results

So I had my hand writing analysed today. My dear friend is an expert. I was told to write done one and a half pages of some thing on an A4 size paper. It was an experience. Learnt a lot. So I thought I would write done the crazy things I wrote. It is too weird I think. So here goes waste of 2 sheets of paper.

Hi, Hows you? I am ok. You need to get better soon so that you can go to the new contry, ok I know that is not the spelling of country. Now I really dont know what to write but will try and write something till you make coffee. I am wondering still thinking, wondering, thinking, wondering now I am zapped. It actually feels very weird writing something when we dont really have a plan. But then irts all about using ones brain. Which I cant say if I have. But I must be having brains because otherwise I would not be able to write na. Stupip things I have to write. Crazy this is. But i still have half a page to go so I will still have to use the brains. But my coffee is here so will be taking a sip of it and then describe it.Well that coffee is good I like it. And the cup is cute. Now I have quarter of this page to go and then I should be ready for evaluation. Oh my God. This is just too funny writing and now I think I have had enough. So let the results come. Is it enough already? I think so.

Well thats what i wrote. I can really tell what the analysis was but it was fun.

P.S. please vote for TAJ for the 7 wonders.
