Worries. Worries. Worries.

Just in case you are wondering what I have been upto:
  • Intense Post CWG Depression, heightened by boring cricket matches
  • Family functions filled trip to Hyderabad
  • Cold and Fever (I hate you for that, Hyderabad.)
  • Work and stuff
  • Boredom
And that is pretty much going to justify the lameness this post is about to offer to you.
The thing is, I am worried. I am worried about so many things, on so many levels that it is getting to my head. And because I need to clear my head, before it bursts, I decided to pass on my worries to you. Here's what I am worried about:

  • Irritating People. I am worried about them, for them, for myself and for the world, that these utterly incompetent irritating people will take over the world some day and the Earth will launch into a spiral retrograde spin, back into primitive dark ages. And the worst part is, these people keep multiplying, like Agent Smith in Matrix Reloaded. There's that irritating smug smile on their face that says, we know it all. Before you know, there'll be more irritants than victims and sooner than later, there'll be no hair on your head to pull out in frustration. So, I am worried. For your hair. And for your shampoo maker. 
  • Non-Apple Laptop Manufacturers. Have you seen MacBook Air? Have you? Have you? Did you feel the need to urgently smash all items even closely reminiscent of your laptop? Smash them not once, but a hundred times and then do the Haka victory dance on the remnants? Did you? That's why I am worried. For all those poor laptop manufacturers who think they are making laptops. Ignorant souls.
  • Abhishek Bachchan. Seriously. Does his family hate him? (a) The poor kid is reeling from a shooting a shockingly idiotic Idea Ad and on top of that (b) He is now the brand ambassador for Videocon. Instead of being there to support him through this horrible phase, the Dad goes out to capture TRPs with KBC and the wifey goes all out on the big screen with the Roshan dude, with some really good background music heard in a long while. Poor fella. My heart goes out to him.
  • HR & IT Departments. Because, I am pretty sure, we have already crossed that threshold of the employee's patience. Some day, pretty soon, there will be a mutiny and the world will be free of these monsters. I am worried for them, because, till this happens, my life is still in their hands! So.
  • My Health. That's because I loaded my office cabinet with trucks of junk food today, in a  moment of sudden sympathy for my hardworking self. As a result, all through an important meeting today, I was wondering if the Hippo chips were good enough or if I should get Lays from home for tomorrow.We are talking some serious calories here.
  • My Future. Truly truly worried. I mean, here I am, all of 22, waiting for life to happen and then, suddenly I hear this horrible news. What do I make of it? You tell me. Grey's Anatomy ending in Season 8? Are you kidding me? I had this dream of a retired 60 year old me, in a beach house, sipping coffee, blissfully watching the next generation of Seattle Grace doctors, running around with scalpels, on the screen. And this is what you endow me with? A huge part of my retirement plan just went for a toss, and you announce this silently on TV Fanatic like it is some insignificant bit of news? Whatever.

I am done ranting AND I managed to pull off a very boring Thursday afternoon. Please worry about all this, on my behalf, because,  I am done being worried about everything on Earth.

Signing out,
Relatively relieved,

  1. and some part of my boring thursday passed too while reading about your worries :a

    Irritating people? reminds me of that contagious curse in Grudge!!

    As far the little bacchan is concerned... he'll be disowned by family and dumped by Ash... sooner or later... he'll have to live with that.

    Also, Watch HOUSE MD!! Awesome stuff :)

  2. Grey's is ending?? Seriously? Kab hua yeh :(, now I'm sad too.

    HR and it - I really wonder if harassing us is a part of their job description

    @ non apple users - *this is me sticking out my tongue, coz I have a Mac*

    @Unhealthy snacking - I am in the same boat sistah, ever since they got a ice-cream stall in office, I cannot keep my hands off the orange candy :D

  12. @Roshmi: Arrey my trips to Hyderabad are usually not worth writing about. It's always extended family time and that can never be worth writing about! :e

  14. @Tamanna: You know what, I was seriously thinking of masking my age. All bloggers I know are married and above the dreaded 25 mark. But then I thought, people mask their age when they are old. Why me? Huh? :j :c :a

Them 90s Things - 1 - iTV Music Channel

Starting a random series of all things from a 90s childhood, just so I have a record of these memories for posterity. Do you remember a channel called iTV?  The 1999 Cricket World Cup was when our extremely middle-class, government quarters colony rose to the challenge of cable tv. Till then, we were happily adjusting our antennas and watching wholesome family entertainment on the two channels of DD1 and DD2. Then came the cable wale bhaiya, with his fancy earring, a few TV guides stacked under his arms along with long ropes of cable, promising unlimited entertainment for the entire colony. And just like that, we all got lured. Cable TV bought with it a lot of changes, many of which I assume will get covered in this series. But, today's post is about 1 particular memory which every 90s kid can relate to. A huge letter I revolving on the TV in anticipation of a new song being chosen. Yep. The iTV generation. Not MTv. It was all about iTV. I still don't know what that channel was

Drumrolls and All That

In crass Hindi, this moment would have been aptly defined as "Laut ke buddhu, ghar ko aaye".  Exact translation would mount to "Fools return home" and that's what this post is. So, after taking a break from work, doing a second Masters, getting a job in Singapore and moving countries, I am back on the blog.  Who would have thunk? An year back, I had no idea this is what I would be doing in an year. But then again, do we know what we will be doing an year from now?  Lesson learnt. No planning, no guessing.  Just keep exploring, keep doing new things, keep learning, keep meeting new people. Things will happen. Trust. Like a fool (who returned home!) So, while I discover this part of my life, Singapore, I thought I need the blog more than the blog needs me. Because moving countries is not in the least as glamorous as it sounds.  There's the whole deal with selling all belongings which you have hoarded lovingly over the years. A

Letters to the Upparwalla!

(Wow! BlogAdda made my day! :) ) Prologue: I have been SO so SO so lazy, busy and blank, that I stopped writing posts altogether.

LETTER #1 To The Gods Above, 1, "All Roads Lead to Heaven" Road, Heaven - 000000 15.06.2010 From Un Faithful Earthling Somewhere on Earth - Does the pin code matter?
