Uncomfortably Numb

Its becoming a damn cold place this bengaluru...
Fireplace required badly @home...Wat say folks ?These days the Bangalore chill is jus amazing in itself. Its so very cold n breezy and more often the beautiful weather takes me to Europe. My Thought experiments imagine me sitting in a Huge European mansion next to the Fireplace...
How Cozy that would be ??


Palace of Versailles....??


Hmm...my thots are getting greedy now ...

so I;ll cut the crap a lil...
I feel I should have a Fireplace in a corner of my house...where i can sip a hot coffee over a Samosa or something...
Well you may not subscribe to my views but then its like u toss a coin thousand times whats the probability of it comin up Heads ?
A fire place in a Shaandar Haveli [not a bhoot ka bungla beedu !] with an Arm rest chair ? Sounds good kya ?




listening to Lionel Richie "hello"or maybe the pink flyod number uncomfortably Numb!Can it be cooler than that ?Wah kya kehne hain !


My Thot experiment might as well delay me for my office bus :)!

~Adios 4 now amigos.

Flavours of the Gun culture...

Recent killing of a fellow classmate in a Delhi(gurgoan) School by 2 students had everyone sitting up and taking notice.
The crime was done with an un-licensed revolver which brings us back to the Centre stage with America.
America is happening man !!! The Gun culture is now in India albeit it is a ddifferent one.
Though the murders in the US are more by deranged and mentally unstable individuals the killing of two andhraites seemed to be a diabolic murder. The Indian gun culture is more of murders due to the accessibility and the allure of inflicting sheer pain.
The fatal trigger is fired in more of a power show rather than self-defence.
I advocate a liberal approach in life, So when it comes to playing with anybodys life with Guns and providing un-inhibited accessibility to them should be punished with the highest sentence possible.The legal loopholes also need to be plugged.

Not that this is the first instance in India.
Mafiosi have been havin pitched battles across the country with local-made guns. But the entry of guns into school marks the ebb in the Culture as more money flows into india. The rich and famous parents now have lethal toys and these toys are finding their way into schools.

Well the realm of dangerous possibilites looms large with guns in the Delhi bronx.


ps : Incidentally i have hit the 300th post with this one!

Burkha Dutt...

  • Blog hiatus notwiithstanding...I wanna write like anything...I am defying the laws of Human gravity (Minimum 8 hrs sleep)....
    I rarely hit the bed for more than 6 hrs these dayz.

    @ work its been more of debugging strange and unexplained glitches in the raw PCBs we have for sampling. its been one helluva 'Software is from MARS then Hardwarew is from Venus' month for me.
    Some glitches we have attributed to hardware problems.And some software ones we are yet to fathom as they are very unpredictable.
    All this has made sure i face new interesting situations day in and day out...
    Well yes... Methinks I have turned into a Supersonic hedge hog ...office<->work...Dexterity of some colleagues is truly amazing
    yeah thats been my routine... thesez few days.
    on a collision course with a balanced Lifestyle..


    koming bac to the TubeWatch Sundays is all for this show on NDTV...where this burkha Dutt(pun intended) calls all the minority committee people on her so called show.

    Agreed Barkha is a brilliant Journo ... but everybody has a right to change and she has changed from her earlier times (change is for the worse). Some highlights from her recent shows aired on sundays.

  • It beats me that always the Hindus are marginalised on the show.
  • Any topic she is interested has many takers in the audience but not many against her.
  • The majority community is always the target of all the Talk on the show.
  • Same old people show up as Liberals!
Sometimes its a total shame...she shows off as a benevolent listener. where in essence it appears stage managed and the comments are pot pourri for each individual.
In fact so predictable is the show one could easily fancy himself being out numbered out voted if ever participating against the burkha Dutt and her cotroversial topics.
I have nothing against minorities but it appears its like a bag which anybody can take a shot at on her show.
Really I don;t feel like investing my sundays on such sheer ego cruises of the minorities sponsored by the Dutt female.
On some level the hard talk is also stage managed to a T. but then its not a Stage Managed Free for All :) ROTFL.
A good rule of thumb is watch howz she headed and just check the audience. People are expecting the female to come to them with a mike. Like all the Talk-Show People they are fed with Questions.

Sometimes its the altruism shown makes you wonder whether it is this in the real world or is it only virtual ??
