A Cynic's Viewpoint

         There are many means of classifying people. It can be done by knowing the type of music they listen , the kind of colour pattern they like and in the recent past due to the rise of technology the high priced gadgets and gizmos are affordable and so the people can be classified by the gadgets they use. They say gadgets reflect their owner’s personality. So this blog is about my gadgets and how they reflect my personality.          On Feb 19, 2004 I got my first computer. A Black desktop computer. After so many discussions and introspection I got my configuration approved. It still is running perfectly. The specs I wanted then was not vital at that time but I plan keeping the future in my mind and I wanted my huge desktop to be a part of my future and it is still up and running with little upgrades.          My next gadget was my mobile phone. I was movin...

She had no words to tell him, her heart was pumping faster than anything in this world. All her senses elevated to the highest and then Rashmi with a shiver in her voice and tears in her eyes said, “Salman I Love U too “.

                             I was need of a call taxi. And the biggest problem in Bangalore is that there are lot of options to choose from. So there was lot of confusion. And the solution was Google. So after googling for call taxi I called some only to find out they don’t provide the classic omni. I was back to square one, right back where I started. So I reached out to my friends. One of them returned me a number. A number I thought ll give me what I wanted…OMNI… I called and they weren’t any taxi service providers. They told they ll provide me numbers of some taxi service providers. Ok I told and hung up. Just as I hung up I got a call from someone asking if I required a taxi pick up and drop. After this call there was a string of 6 calls providing me taxi service. I found one and had to ignore other calls and sms. I thought just one call and people...

              My train journeys have always been different every time giving me something to write about them. So as the train was ready to depart from the Bangalore station all that was on my mind was to find someone different so that I can write about them. Oh this time it was a package, usually I find some single person to write but this time I got a full family. Let me count how many were there. 2 brothers tall, hard build … their wives comparatively very tiny.. And there were 11 children in all. Ok. I seriously don’t know who was whose: P.               So in all 15 people to write about, isn’t it a jackpot I thought. Observing 15 people and writing is so hard. Not in this case. The full 6hrs of their journey, my journey, and the people travelling with us was centred only on the two brothers. So what was special about them was they were DRUNK. Yes I’m c...

Dil, Sambhal ja zara Phir mohabbat karne chala tu… Dil , yehi ruk ja zara Phir mohabbat karne chala tu… These lines have been stuck in my heart since I’ve listened to it. Essentially what does these lines means is simple. You fall in love…get betrayed…and again go about doing the same mistake of falling. So my first question is simple “was the first love not true?” And why are the saddest songs pictured with men drunk ;);)?? Why is heart break, warfare only for men or so to say in majority cases? All the above questions lead to one simple answer “when a man falls, he falls hard “… People define love in many ways. I personally term love as CONFUSED STATE… why confusing?? Cause I don’t know what love is..
