Have you ever noticed?...
1) If you use In-Ear headphones, and walk down the street, you can't hear anything around you, and after a while, you feel like your life has Background Music...
2)If you live in the suburbs of Mumbai, and you see a person wearing a T-shirt with a Nirvana/Led Zeppelin/Metallica/Iron Maiden emblem emblazoned across it, chances are he/she won't be able to name a single song from that artist
3)The bills stuck on Walls/Electricity units, etc, which say 'stick no bills' must be the single most ironic thing that we see on a day to day basis...
4)That Buddhists...who are the most ardent followers of Non-Violence...were rioting, burning and destroying property in the city recently?
5)That society frowns upon homosexuals, as well as Couples in general...so what do they want people to be anyway?
6)That if you pronounce the word 'Somaiya' with less of a Gujarati twang and more of a French accent (So-MA-Yuh), 50% of people from 'town' will raise their eyebrows with a visibly impressed expression on their faces...
7)That I got you with the old 'You-Are-So-Blind-You-Didn't-see-that-there-is-no-number 3-on this list' joke...
8)That there actually WAS a number 3 on this list...Ha Ha, made you look!
9) That it's 'against our Indian traditions' to walk around holding hands with a girl, but hordes of guys walk around hand-in-hand, arm-linked-in-arm, being downright campy, and nobody says a thing...Does that means that Indians were traditionally gay?Whoa...
10)That ignorant morons who read the above will either conclude that I'm gay, or a homophobe...neither, suckers, it's just an observation!

Oscars!
Yeah, It'll be coming on T.V. at 6:30 am tomorrow morning...which Is when I'll be in an auto on my way to Electronics Practicals...
It's just no fun watching the Encore presentation, because my sister is going to watch it from start to finish, and destroy whatever suspense I may have wanted to preserve, the moment I get back home...
Anyway, I'm rooting for Ellen Page for best actress...it's time to give young blood a chance!
This post will be updated after I watch the Oscars...keep an eye on this space!

If your'e Emo and you know it...rant like crazy...
A Disheartening Fact-
When you don't have college for a while, you end up having LESS free Time
than you would have had if you HAD college...this is because of the loss of 'tired' time, where if you look tired when you come home from college, you are 'leniently' given some time on the P.C....
A Depressing Fact-
When You don't have college , AND you are not allowed recreational diversions like Computer Games and quality T.V., You have more time to sit and meditate about how much the world, and people in general, Suck...
A Downright Emo Fact-
I now know how PV_Mills Feels...
That should give you an idea of how bad a week I've been having...

Dance Teacher Dictatorship
I step out of my room for 2 minutes yesterday, and my mom was watching some crap channel with Saroj Khan teaching people how to dance. One step, two step blah blah blah blablah..
It kinda hit me how silly the whole thing was...I mean, dance was invented as a physical form of showing happiness, kinda like jumping for joy..as part of celebration...you know, back in the old days, the Stone Age, when you didn't get food for a party, you threw a party if you got food!
Saroj Khan's Authoritative commands to the meek and unquestioningly co-operative contestants reminded me strongly of De Fuerher standing before his ranks of stormtroopers watching them march with unfailing rhythm...well, it better have been unfailing, if they didn't want Herr Hitlers foot up their backsides...
Gosh, we live in a Democratic country, and yet we say nothing against the legions of dance teachers and choreographers who try to teach you how to dance, basically telling you how to move, what to do, what not to do, how to look, etc...when in reality it is a form of art, which stems from a persons own creativity...
Sounds like Fascism to me...And as A free citizen of a Democratic nation, I do not take kindly to people abusing their authority and forcing others to do as they say. This is INDIA! here we BRIBE people to do as we say!!
And now, commercialized and perverted beyond recognition, almost tailor-made to make non-dancers feel like dorks...In a moment of pure spite I snatched up the remote and put it on mute...and all of a sudden the show seemed a lot better...it seemed like a robot impersonators convention, which was, quite frankly, hilarious...
Mom wasn't happy though, and my break ended up ending prematurely...

College again...
Monday...Bloody Monday...
I wonder if people have done a study on Monday Morning Suicide rates...it's the time of the week when most people feel the most messed up...
Aren't Electronics practicals at 7 in the morning a GREAT incentive for me to wake up early and freeze my 'nads off on my way to college...?
No
Crummy teacher walks in late and then yells at the people who came in after 7, but still earlier than her...then she whines about the people who are absent...Then she whines about the 12th standard students and how pathetic they are...then she whines about how they whine about how she teaches like a retard. And then this makes me whine to you about her whining about the students' whining about her teaching...
It's a vicious system to be caught in, I assure you...
More to come!...
like...
Eventually...
