Kid loves to eat!
Does it matter to you if the world sees you without your pants on? Not to a 2-3 year old. But imagine the joy of waking up in the morning and sniffling the whiff of fresh sweet baked goods. This is joy every person regardless of age would devour.But not moms.
So I wake up every morning not knowing whether I had to brush then or not. Not knowing whether I had to have a bath or not. But if I missed the morning batch of the sweet like nectar breeze then thered always be the other batch coming.
And next you find a very troubled mother taking her kid to a window where she would buy an assortment of nankatai, khari and sweet bakery goodies while the kid stayed atop her and wondering "what the heck whys she making me select a few and why not the whole bunch" still troubling her till he gets his rebuke and quietly accepted what he got.
Gleefully the nanga punga kid on the "kadey" of his mom will reach home to trouble her to get him some tea to finish the goods with.
Dont know if the people who now stay at the Sitladevi, Mahim house have kids who bother them as such or no.

@work
Ever had to get up at 5:50 in the morning just to get your 35 minutes in the bathroom? Well three of us stay together with a guest currently n share a single bathroom. All of us need 30-35 mins. One of us is a big lazy bugger never wakes up before 7 am.(will make him wake up at 550 next week :D)
So when you are so drowsy at work what do you do?
start thinking of some stuff to keep off the sleep.
I think I do have a bunch of stories from my childhood which I will start putting em here.
God bless the bald eagle.

JC Penny and Levis makes me smile.
Went to buy some clothes at "JC Penny" Ha ha!! All the clothes there fit me one size smaller :) Just to make sure I even try a universal brand Levis, but the outcomes still the same.
One size small fits perfectly.
Those who have seen the episode of Jerry Sienfeld where they accuse him of swapping other labels on to his Levis to show his waist is 31, for me even if I did so I wouldnt be fooling anyone.
Its been since the first time that I visited this stupid place called Heera Panna at haji ali. Where the clothes were so haphazardly sized that I just gave up on looking at sizes. Damn you Heera Panna, pretty soon I realized that in retail outlets as well my sizes had gone up :( But then I had given up. Damn you Heera Panna.
Now after about 4 years I see the golden "34" I used to think I was!!!
Way to go JC Penny. Damn You Heera Panna.

Pulioghare
Mastered the art of making Pulioghare. Rice dish with not much hardwork in it but tastes better than plain rice.
Met a person who has never visited India. The guys name is Mr. G. Gandhi.
I don't understand, just because we appreciate some things doesn't mean that people take others for granted. I somehow manage to refrain myself from talking about political or communal issues. Of course politics doesn't matter much because I don't much either :D, but communal issues sometimes irk me.
My room-mate would about beg me for the discman, but he didn't pester me before he realised I had his type of music. To this point I accept that maybe someone actually has a particular taste and preference. But when someone has to take pride in admitting his lack of knowledge about the national language for a lame reason stating his language is far more superior I resent that.
I mean is there a standard that actually measures the superiority of a language or scores it on a basis of 1 - 100 so you could evaluate between languages and then chose the best ?
Just so much as I like to listen to some of the music in this language I hate the attitude these people have.
Sometimes makes me wonder why havent we had a riot with these guys than with others.
One more thing, just because some region has more output of a particular thing doesnt mean they are the best at it. Brilliance. Hah! you probably have engineering colleges besides every udipi.
yeah mebbe I am wrong some where. and No Im not on war with my room mate. He infact is a lot more understanding and helpfull. Just wish he didnt have that attitude.

when you're gone
Who's gonna dry my tears
When I'm crying?
Who's gonna hold my hand
When I'm dying?
Who's gonna set me right when
Everything is wrong
Who's gonna love me
When you're gone?
cool chorus of a new song sung by richard marx.

This is how Gods work
Gods have a region of influence.
Gods are strong in the region where they were conceptualised.
The further you stay away from the region of origin the lesser is the influence

Anxiety
Its so wierd the feeling when you are eagerly awaiting things to happen and to add to your dilemma if you are desparate for the things to happen.
Fate they say is at no ones control. But then there are decisions made to alter your life by some one else. How anxious can one get if those decisions matter very dearly.
July 20 - 25 2002 : My First Job interview. A lot depended on this. My point blank answer to my own freedom. My point blank and curt reply to snobs and to people living on "recommendations". My financial freedom. One more reason to convince people of my capabilities. How I desparately needed this job.
July 25th Last year: My Second Visa interview(possibly and luckily my last too). How could my life be moulded by the person on the other side of a glass window? Does life really boil down to that?
Anxiety is just a result of desparation and hope and no control on the outcome.
Efficient ways I have learnt to control my anxiety:
Read a lot
listen to music

How Foolish thee be
Ha !!!
Now let me explain what instigated me to communicate with the future. Due to some inexplicable reasons I get paid for a vacation to Chicago. But while I'm away I have no means of communicating with my near and dear ones.
Ever tried to play with your old VCRs at home. It is really marvelous how the Technical Writers at National Panasonic made such it a simple task of recording television programs like "Antakshari" while you and your family would go out for an Ice Cream at the great "Shree Balaji Restaurant" so discombobulating. Well the great old VCR had built in features by virtue of which one could program it to record programs of the future. I was once successful at recording a great movie while we had been to my grandma's place but was never encouraged to do so again, thanks to the daunting electricity bills of our times!!!
Ok back to the future where Id be in Chicago.So I wanted to be able to send mails even if I wasn't able to get online. But not before , I wanted the mails to go on a particular day. Seems like that technology isn't yet here.
Then I see the Blogs .. See that I can Alter the dates. Thought wait a sec .. What if I keep a date of the future what happens then??? But sadly .. ths stupid thing just says the date and posts it today :(
Rani Mukherjee u win this once .. but i will come back !!! I shall get my way!!!!
Till then enjoy the anamoly in the dating structure of my posts.

Strings
So I am reading this book called The Gemini Contenders or something of that sort. There are two reasons to read this book. Dan Brown and the Bourne Supremacy. This one is written by Robert Ludlum author of the Bourne series and its about the Christian Documents which may crumple the whole identity of the christian community.
This really made me wonder is there really a secret so stored by people and if there are really some documents which could be stored for 14 cneturies from the whole human race I really want to add something to it. If I could find that vault that has so successfully hidden those documents from humanity I would want to dump the originals of the string albums dhaani in that vault and would then shoot myself so that no one knows the location of that so called " Un holy " vault!!!
Have been listening to Strings new album Dhaani. Yes people get stereotype, yes people without talent also get successful, yes people lose their original inspiration, yes people also get the air of success right into the neurons of their brains.
Shit this album is crappy. I have to take breaks to forward the songs. In fact I just changed the freaking album. Not worth being a Strings album at all.
Ok I have nothing against Christianity and sure dont want the Bastion of christian beliefs to be so troubled by the inanenly horrenduous album those two morons sat and created but I really wish it never saw the face of this earth.
Geez I guess I get too worked up on things .. should control my urges. :))
