Maybe I am OLD.

It's unbelievable how annoying I find 21 year olds. They're way too noisy, they try too hard and they have no clue of who Guns N Roses are. Also, they refer to everyone as "dude"! My generation would find that slightly impersonal. Imagine Vik, if I were to only refer to you as dude. And Rami, I wouldn't dare do that to you! Although, when I do want to let people know that I'm not accepting their "advances", I will constantly refer to them as "Dooooode".

I will use dude once in a while, but yes, more often than not (if I must) I prefer a derivative of a persons name.

If I was younger, I would spend less time discussing PS3 and more time working a basketball strategy on a real court.

P.S. The supreme court has passed a very interesting law on live in relationships. Women can now claim alimony even cause they were living in with a guy.

One more reason for one night stands. Not for me, for the "other" boys. Go Vik!!!

Et tu, Mom?

My mom has a facebook account. I was probably the last person to find out about this. While I suspect that devil Herbert having something to do with it, I will need to investigate this myself when I get home this weekend.

I'm now officially the only person in my family who does not have a facebook account. Actually no. My 86 year old grand mom doesn't have an account too. HA!!

P.S. Has google been playing up or is it just me? I was sent some weird verification code on my mobile phone and after years and years of using g-mail, I had to change my password and then today I found that I'm following my own blog! If that isn't conceited!!!
Also, FACEBOOK is NOT recognised by the dictionary! One more HA!!

Yes, I know how pathetic I sound.

Bum time!!

NOBODY(almost) is going to understand this post.

But yes, if I am bored, I'd rather have some "Bum Time". HE HE HE...

P.S. This is the 100th post!

"WFH" and the Big Verdict!

WFH is an acronym for "Working from home". That's my status on G-Talk today and honestly, I'm quite frustrated with people taking a dig at what "WFH" is. And everybody, just EVERYBODY thinks F stands for fuck! There are a million other words that start with F, but no, fuck takes the crown for the most popular F word! So anyway, since atleast 9 people will be educated after reading this post.. could you please put this on your facebook accounts and let's see if the concept of 6 degrees really works. I know some dumb-fuck will still ask me what "WFH" means the next time I put it up on my status. Blah!

Now the reason for WFH is that today is the big verdict for the Babri Masjid demolition. Read up about the mosque on wikipedia and I found a lot of interesting stuff on it. We'll leave that for another discussion. The verdict as you know is coming out almost 18 years after the demolition. A kid born around then could be legally married today.

The reason for this post is that, first, I wanted to make sure I "spell" WFH out and second, working from home is extremely boring. Specially when the TV has nothing interesting on it and you are that stage in your work where everything is moving smooth.

Oh wait, I found something interesting to watch on TV. The news. Commonwealth Shames in Delhi!

P.S. Microsoft office 2003 does not recognise the word 'blog'. But try spelling Microsoft in lower case.

I'm AWESOME! My suit's AWESOME!

"You know this suit I'm wearing, is stitched by the same guys that stitch suits for the Prime Minister of India".

"Really? That's awesome man. Except, who was the last Prime Minister of India to wear a suit?"

"Uhhhh.."

P.S. True story and no points for guessing where the person wearing the suit is from.

Wake up Pune! For the love of this city!

I have always spoken about Pune with the pride a child had for his father. I love being in this city! It never mattered where my mom found a house in the city, I loved the fact we were still here.

This is my home and I will NOT let it be corrupted by some sleazy cops! This isn't the first time that they've tried to act like the tormented. I'm from an Army family and since they got their faces kicked ever so often, they never acted funny with me. But honestly, are they even close to good? Pune police is like a dirty bag of shit as compared to their Bombay counterparts! Pune tries to act very honest and yet they are the scum of the Mahrashtra police! The sad thing is that bad and irresponsible journalism of Pune Mirror supports this. I will by the way give you an example of how bad Pune Mirror is from an article they're so (illiterately) proud of.

I heard today that they "apprehended" a bunch of north-eastern boys "who beat the shit out of some cops". Funny thing is they never said how 2 cops (with a "police team") apprehended 11 boys after getting beaten within an inch of their lives! Today, the boys turn up in court with bruised faces and legs (from someone who was present at the case. Obviously, Pune police had nothing to do with it. Read this.

As for Pune Mirror.. I think the Times of India should be ashamed of themselves for being associated with this excuse for journalism. I'm terribly disappointed in them. They even went ahead and set themselves to it.

This is a road I travel every weekend. The photographer and reporter obviously do not.

This how PATHETIC they are.

Pic 1

The photographer is facing towards the traffic, taking pictures of cattle that are being watched over by a human being, ensuring they DO NOT walk on to the expressway. I wonder where The Mirror vehicle is parked?

Pic 2

That's technically NOT the expressway (it's after the end if you're coming from Bombay). Notice the skid marks, the position of the photographer and the fallen tyre. I haven't seen a fallen tyre on that road ever. A little conspiracy I suspect.

Pic 3

The Mirror obviously stopped (on the expressway) to take this picture. A 5 year old child told me this.

Pic 4

A great comeback. How many of us missed this message just as we got onto the expressway to go to Bombay.

Pic 5

The caption says "Two-wheelers are prohibited on the E-way.But who really cares"

Technically incorrect again. Like The Mirror!! The expressway is common to the NH4 for some distance and that's where bikes are allowed!! Also, cops, contractors and workers (who cannot afford fancy company sponsored cars for some cheap purposes) are allowed to ride off (on the side of the road) the express way with requisite permission. But "The Mirror" is too fancy to investigate these facts. Poor people making a hard earned living.. what a shame.

Pic 6

I need to get mirror to take me to this spot. REALLY!

Pic 7

Setup, anyone? Mirror is too strategically placed

Pic 8

"Kuchcha" roads. And, did they stop again on the expressway? Tch.. tch.. tch..
BTW.. I do not expect vehicles coming on the road from "Mount Everest" on the other side. If vehicles leave.. it's only good!

Now only if we could stand up for those boys.

I don't normally do this.. but for all of you reading, we need to make a difference. Let's wake up now, please. Pune is my city. I love it beyond belief. I don't want to give up on her.

P.S. Feel free to pass this on.

I hate change

Period.

Like the background of this blog page, moving to a new house (I must have moved at least 25 houses in as many years!), getting a new job and "let's try something new".

Change is boring!

Monotony and predictability to me is fun! If I know the outcome of a particular action I am twice as likely to go ahead with it. I liked living my dull life in Pune. Doing the same thing every weekend, spending time with Rami and Vikram, that is my idea of a FUCKING GOOD weekend (Which is a superlative of AWESOME).

I want it back!
