Computer troubles

I had so many ideas for a blog this Diwali weekend...but sadly no computer. Now that that i am back here i am too demotivated to write...Maybe one day I'll write a piece on why i love Delhi, why bad bosses are the worst thing that can happen to anyone and why i like Chetan Bhagat's books? Till that time i can only hope that someone gifts me a Sony Viao Laptop with a data card!

Too tired for a title

I hate this..this steady overload of work and i am tired, weary to the depths of my bone marrow. Its getting in way of my blogging and my day dreams..i think every office should mark out time for its employees to day dream. Its keeps the creative juices flowing and makes an otherwise staid life look colourful. Its so bad that i am not even experiencing the cathartic release after a nail biting deadline...i am just too spiked up for the next deadline to enjoy the passing of this one..
And I am going to turn thirty in 4 months..Where did all the time go...I was so eager to leave my teens...what did i do in my twenties...college..more college...job hunting..and job changing..that sums it up..and what a depressing sum up it is. Would thirty's be any better or would i still be sitting in a junkyard of an office writing blogs on how my thirties went away...
Well at least no one will ask me what i want to be when i grow up, that's a good thing. And i will also see a generation a of newborn Mallu kids who are not named rinsy, tinsy, pinsy and sinsy and if its a boy mansy...that's a definite relief. I must learn to thank the stars for the small favours

Rocky stars and amma

Since the entry of Rock On every movie seems to have a rock song concert with our stars screaming their hearts out on a metallic guitar. And its a major torture..I mean who can imagine Ajay Devgan as a rock star...puhleeez..not even on my most decaffeinated days could i think up that monstrosity...but its there..right there on my TV screen. Don't get me wrong i Like Ajay Devgan...really do.... but as a rock star, with spiked hair and earrings...c'mon. Who are we kidding?
Speaking of decaffeinated days..thanks to Homeopathy i can't take coffee...can't think of a worst punishment. Ad every where i look people are drinking coffee..its coffee mugs, coffee beans, coffee ice creams, coffee and karan....my nerves are probably screaming at a supersonic level
Another thing thats keeping my nerves on a fry is the impending visit from a very very difficult donor...thanks to recession and double standards of my organisation this money is too bloody important...Amma has been breathing down my neck " we have to get that support..kaise bhi" Hell...i Have spent ,god knows, how many sleepless nights and days on this..what else can i do...maybe I could sic Amma on them, you know threaten them with extended solitary periods of confinement with her....that should do the trick!

Random Thoughts on a hot P&B day

One down..one more to go...Perhaps today or tomorrow. The wonders of portable technology never ceases to amaze me... blogging during a P&B session..can it get any better...well if there were no P&Bs maybe.

Its such a cramped up room with the whole Bhopal, Gujarat and Rajasthan ROs, their partners ans their aunts stuffed into this 4X6 matchbox. There are no chairs just some mattresses with a pink coloured sheet with 'Pompoos' emblazoned...birdy has carried her 'I am so pretty, I am so pink' attitude too far this time. I have shifted to a chair...there's no way i am ruining my spine for AA any further..they have already screwed up my mental health.

Nothing new on Amma...she is just nodding her head like she understands every single word that is being said here...yeah right and pigs fly.

I really really must buy a laptop..a red one probably a Vaio or Lenovo...

Deja vu

Deja vu...I beleive in it...and P&Bs only re-enforce the beleif. This is my 4th P&B in this esteemed organisation and nothing has really changed except for an exteremley diminshed energy and enthusiasm level on my side. Amma is on a 'Gujarat Daura' so there are no interesting insights or life truths or pearls of wisdom to be shared. The panda is getting on my nerves and i have not recieved a single interview call...yet.

Honda CRV

I have fallen in love with the new Honda CRV...its an absolute beauty..ofcourse there is no way i can buy it in my current state of pauperization. Every time i see one of these on the road, i turn my head till i get a crick in the neck.

I might even be tempted to learn driving if i had a Honda CRV...

As for the comment on the romanticising of 'Taj'...well one of my very good friends feels that it is all a matter of perspective...I agree..totally. I for one have a skewed perspective when it comes to buildings..old ones...judabs knows it...I love old buildings...I could spend hours just sitting in old churches, forts, tombs....

My only point is that Shah Jahan could have built a maternity hospital in place of the Taj..you know in memory of his wife who died in childbirth...but then again He was an Emperor, for him building monuments in white marble was a way of showing ultimate love...lack of imagination I presume!

List of must do's

I was thinking yesterday...."I'll be turning 30 next February..so what do i want to do before i turn forty"...So Voila here's the list

• Learn how to shoot a gun- pistol/ rifle anything would do
• Learn Karate...or maybe WENLIDO
• Learn how to do a salsa...that's not a salad, it a form of a dance
• Decide on whether i should join a gym or not
• Get piss pot drunk
• Get my hand on the last Percy Jackson and the Olympians book
• See the rest of the Harry potter movie series- first day first show preferably
• Buy am I Pod and download around 25000 songs
• Bring amma back from her alternate reality...hmmm...that might not be possible
• Go on a trip to- Ladakh, Goa, Egypt
• Graduate to a new and hitherto unknown level on 'SNAKES'
• Write a book on "How NGOs are mills of procrastination, proselytizing and pauperization" (Send a free copy to smirky and company)
• Colour my hair ...hmmm....burgundy
• Actually make it to the top floor of Qutab Minar and also finally get to see the inside of Delhi Lal Qila
• Manage to have at least two more followers on my blog
• Finally convince people around me to stop hoping that i will come back to 'His fold of faithful lambs'

So that's my rather unambitious list!
