Pfuit!

PS: Thanks to a template change, I lost 45 comments on this post. Fear not. I have those comments somewhere on IntenseDebate.com. Will figure out a way to get them back! :)

<<Rant Alert>>

I know, I know. My last post was just two days back and it is uncharacteristic of me to post so soon. But like I mentioned above, this is a rant. So, I be excused.

  • It is not fair that I have a bad day *just* because I woke up 10 minutes 45 minutes too late in the morning. It is not fair when I need to be convince my poor little body clock that at 12 degrees maximum and 3 degrees minimum, it still does not get that few extra minutes in the razai. It is not fair that after a mad rush and a fight for the geyser with the maid, I still miss my office bus by 5 minutes. It is not fair that the Auto I take charges me 20 bucks extra because there is no change and well, it is too cold to argue. It is not fair that thanks to frozen hands, I could not feel the vibrator of my phone when a sweet colleague trying to stop the bus for me, called. It is not fair that I now officially hate winter.
  • Need I mention that the rest of the day was on a downward slide from that point onwards?
  • Seriously. Two sweaters, one overcoat, one muffler and I was chilled to the bone. The silver lining, if you are reallllllly looking to see one, is that I like office now. Thanks to the central heating!
  • What is with the goddamn wind? Stop now.
  • My Manager got the Annual Achievement Award. Why am I ranting about it? Go figure.
  • There should be counselling on Wednesdays. 
  • I changed my Template. Needless to say, there's a story behind that too. After much deliberation and trying out colours and pestering my artistic Mum for advice, I finally figured out a good combination. When I clicked "Apply to Blog", Blogger sweetly told me that there was a minor error and that it had "informed the guys at Blogger all about it". I was impressed. I mean, here I am having a bad day, and these guys care so much for me like they know! I was wrong. Of course. So wrong. The idiots never saved my settings. I sat up till 12 last night to recreate the settings. Why? Because my mind refused to let Blogger spoil an already horrible day.
  • While we are on the subject, I wonder how long it will take Blogger to realise that introducing nested comments is NOT equivalent to launching a rocket. I should let you know, dear Blogger, that I managed to insert nested comments thanks to a brilliant suggestion from Bikram.
  • I am done ranting. Actually, I am not done ranting. But whatever. I will save you from further depression.
The title "Pfuit" means "Big deal" in French according to Meg Cabot, whose books I have been reading a lot lately.

I have work to do. So bye! You have a good day, wokay?

Signing out,

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. But then, on reflection, I thought I owed this one to the unseen forces above. Hence, this post! 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?
