A Happy New Year to all.

Hey, so i jus wanna make a correction from the last post. Except for those who didn like The Longest Rant, frm the rest, i take back my apologies. Basically, i had written the post, then few days later, considerin it was long n serious(ie not dry and sarcastic) i thought it was awful. Then i red it later, n liked it and so i posted it. Few days later, when i forgot its contents, i again, thought its too long and borin, so i apologised. I read it again now. And i liked it.( if this were an infinite series, i wudve forgotten its contents and disliked it again and then read it again...you get the drift) So there. I take back my apologies. Of course, if u did not like it, you can keep them. Nehow right now, i'm quite simply tired of livin here. I dun exactly have anyone i could relentlessly whine to. Girlfriends come in handy in these situations. They atleast pretend to care. I say pretend, cuz then they become exes, which is even cooler. I mean the very word 'ex' itself is so ...

Because, seriously, I dun think even I can get myself to read that post again,(I mean in spite of the fact that its like written by me!!!). The very rules of narcissism categorically talk about the ability to love and admire your own creations, irrespective of their crappyness. So a very genuine sorry to all of you. Meanwhile, I've just returned from Delhi, it was my mom and dad's 25th anniversary, on the 18th. There was a nice large family celebration, for which I made the sacrifice(-sniggers-) of a few classes. So the train journey was interesting. I reached the station about an hour early, and spent time reading, Chetan Bhagat's one night @ the call centre ( I know i'm a bit late to be readin that one, but mom hadn given it a great review, and the cover didn't look appetizing either - dun s...

The longest rant.

Hey, Whaddup? I don't actually have anything to say.. like my brain is fairly numb and not whizzing like it usually is. There's obviously too much lead in the air. And thats probably the reason why i scored so shit in the exams last time. The thing is that, by now, the desire to bring to your notice the extreme differences in the societies, is having an overwhelming competition with my other significant attribute. Laziness. And the latter is winning hands down. ( part of the reason bein that its like too lazy to do a hands up right? cuz like its lazy) The deal is simply that, its a young society ( not in age or wisdom and that kinda stuff, but in exposure to things like multinational food industries, fashion industries, eating out routines, tall buildings - read on for proof - and other such stuff). So I didn't really express any shock at the fact that a guy who wanted to use the lift in a building, pressed the up arrow even though he wanted to go down. And when I asked him...
