Half the Perfect World

Half is all I ask for. Half the Perfect World..with..

No Powerpoints. Not even if I am good at making them. No Excel. No Outlook. In fact, no Microsoft Office. No Internet Explorer. Lots of instances of Chrome. Youtube. Random net surfing. Travel Sites.

Rather, lots of travel. Beaches. Long Drives. Sunshine. No rains. March-like weather, for the entire year. Long vacation.  

Holidays. Leaves. Since its my perfect world, make that leave from vacation to go work. Why not, flexible work play hours. But, good pay, haan? Bonus. Good appraisal. No performance pay. No performance required.

No business jargon. No templates. Work only if you love it. Else, just sit at home. No pressure. No graphs.

Good health. But no pressure to stay fit. Eat. Loads of fruits. Chips. Nachos. No milk. No paneer. No dal makhani. Pizza yes. Ice Cream. Sitaphal. French Fries. Everyday. Subway too. Bhindi. Fry? Yes.

Music. Nickelback. What? I like Nickelback. Rockstar. Good old songs. Aapki Nazaron Ne Samjha? Yes. Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koi Shikhwa? Yes! I am weird that way. But my perfect world.

Romantic songs. Romance. Yes. Sweet messages. Not too many, though. Quiet evening. Watch a movie. Not too many people around. Good enough.

Which reminds me. Movies. Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron. Angoor. Chupke Chupke. Golmaal. Obviously, the old one. Choti Si Baat. Basically, Amol Palekar. And the likes. Also, animated movies. Toy Story? Yes. All Parts. Up! For sure.

Up Brings me to dreams. Loads of dreams. Getting fulfilled. Even the crazy ones. Like Coldplay concert. Eric Clapton Concert. Learn Guitar. Properly. Write. A Book! Live Ruskin Bond's life for a Day.

Oh. How could I forget! Books. Nice ones. Starting with Enid Blyton. Roald Dahl. Complicated ones, funny ones. Those that everyone hates. Those that everyone loves. Oh. So many of them. A long list of unread books, which makes me feel hopeful about the times to come!

So much to do. So little time. Such an imperfect world.

In my perfect world, I would be at home right now, in Delhi. Reading a book, listening to good music. But here I am. Waiting for someone to say, "Coffee", so I can get out of this space. This space is an anomaly in my perfect world.

But meh. Atleast I can blog about it! :)

Cheers!

  9. Your blog chooses to not let me comment at will and there is no way to inform you about that either.
    That being said, such tiny expectations you have, so nice, so very nice. * sense the sarcasm *

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?
