The Other Side of Life

Did I mention that one of the Search words leading to my Blog is "Commonwealth Games"? I guess that goes for the number of times I have written about them here! ;) And since the damage has already been done, and I have been tainted as a CWG Blogger, I guess another post won't do much harm! Last one. I promise. *My Fingers are crossed. La la!* So, I gather you have seen all the media reports? Are you absolutely aghast at the sad state Delhi is in? Are you wondering how us poor Delhites are putting up with this mess? Are you wondering if the Games are going to let us down and embarrass us in ways we can't imagine? Are you wondering why Abhishek Bachchan's Idea ad is SO stupid? This is where you will get the answers to all your questions (Except the last one. Beats me too.), ankhon dekhi khabar, infused with oodles of optimism! That's right! After months of contrived hysteria and exaggeration from the media, I have realized the only way out of this mess is throu...

I am SO tired, it's not funny. I could have avoided writing anything at all today, but I can assure you if that happened, the blog's existence would be a serious concern, considering I haven't written in SO long. So, despite being tired enough to happily sleep with those dogs on the beds at the CWG Village, I am going to attempt to write! Cheers to that!  Before I go any further, please do a Chandler Bing style "Param Pam Bishh" for the dear blog! We just turned 50 posts old. The baby's growing up. Sniff. This is the worst possible way to usher in a moment like that, but this Blogger's block I tell you, is a desperate witch. Anyhoo. This is the point where I actually start the post. But considering I don't have much to say, imagine an awkward silence here. There is a lot of discussion on the CWG. I could add on to that hullabaloo, considering I am bang in the midst of all that, but I won't. Because there are other things that caught my attention...

I spent most of the long weekend and an additional day that I took off, reading Calvin and Hobbes. Needless to say, when I woke up this morning, I was in a delirium, because I felt like this: Just thought I should tell you this! Wish me luck for a long day ahead.. Signing out, Sigh. I need me more long weekends. Picture Courtesy: Of Course, Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

And. With. That. We. Complete. One. Year. Of. Work. Life. <Insert claps, hoots and whistles here> *Bows* *Flying kisses* *Oh, stop now!* That's right, people! ONE whole year of work life. Sigh. I feel old now. It's been a great year, though. It also marks one whole year of active blogging life, if you know what I mean! *Wink, nudge, wink* I had a pretty cool and funny post in my head when I was deliberating writing about this, but I am not in a great mood, what with stupid rains and idiotic, brainless people at work (There were some more nice adjectives in my mind, but I refrain from posting them on a "Family Blog"). So I am going to chuck that post. Instead, I will torture you by posting a piece of fiction I wrote for a Blogathon, eons back. I did not publish it back then, because, well, it is not that good! But like I said, I am in a mood to torture you, so. Don't be too harsh on me, be considerate for my bad mood! Oh and in case you are wondering w...

Hi!!!! Suppp guys and gals??? I am cool too. Chillin' out wid frenz! Lolzzzzz.. On a more serious note though, in case you haven't already guessed what I am talking about, do you judge people? I do. ALL THE TIME. And I despise it, I swear. I know it is totally wrong and unwarranted for, given any defense. But I still do it. It has become a natural body mechanism of sorts. I judge people on their English, especially when it as cool as what I wrote above, their pronunciation, their clothes, their language, their attitudes, just about everything, and that, I know, is as unfair as not getting a holiday on Janmashtmi (True Story).  I am sure people judge me too, which is actually a good thing for my guilt that is mounting up in quintals everyday! Today's exercise, therefore is, to help me assuage my guilt some more, by guiding you to judge me better.  Basically, I am going by the converse of "Judge not, that ye be not judged!" i.e. judge others and get yourself judge...
