Why die a nut?

Caught myself wondering the above at 2 at night some days back...
Why should anyone?! I ask...

Do something interesting before you die. Base-Jump off the Eiffel Tower, wrestle with Great Whites, shit on a pigeon/crow, form a tr00 Brutal Gridcore Melodic Horror kvlt Progressive Black Death Metal band, do a gig at Razz, get banned for life, watch KANK or for that matter, DDLJ, HAHK, K3G, K2H2, DTPH, TRRP (Ta Ra Rum Pum) and say it out loud, create 1,001 communities on orkut, dig your way through to the US, protest outside KFC for growing those mutant chickens, stop the Iraq war, end world hunger, search for Elvis and a whole lot of other crazy stuff including learning knitting etc...

But do something. Don't just sit on your lazy buttocks all day, every day, watching advertisements on TV, or on your PC. And please don't give that lame-ass excuse for an excuse, 'arre budda ho gaya re iske liye sab' ( A one shoe man, listening? ).

Live a life less mediocre. Give your kids (Vasu - something must have surely found its way through, Anshu - chod) something to talk about during their History period.



I used to work as a production support engineer (call centre for a call centre) and used to get calls at midnight for issues. Why-die-a-nut is what the firang at the other end of the line called me, on the only night that I ever picked up a call. If you bought any of the above psychobabble, you're a nut and you should die...

I joined my new place (id8Labs) just yesterday.
Details about it later.

That means I have to travel to Four Bungalows daily, as follows:




Home---> Chembur StationAuto/Walk
Chembur Station---> Wadala StationTrain
Wadala Station---> Andheri StationTrain
Andheri Station---> OfficeBus



I had to get some of my certificates to work on the first day, and on my way back was planning on buying a cell from Alfa 'Air conditioned Shopping Mall', so here's what I decided was the best thing to do:

Home - Office: 2 Hrs.




Home---> KurlaAuto
Kurla---> Santa CruzBus
Santa Cruz---> Andheri StationTrain
Andheri Station---> OfficeAuto



Office - Home: 3.5 Hrs.






Office---> Andheri StationBus
Andheri Station---> Vile Parle StationTrain
Vile Parle Station---> AlfaAuto
Alfa---> Santa CruzAuto
Santa Cruz---> GhatkoparBus
Ghatkopar---> HomeAuto


(I dunno how to remove those empty spaces before the tables)
Ok, those 3.5 Hrs. included about 45 minutes on the phone with her without me covering much ground.
My shoulder still aches from holding the phone.
I had a relapse of my 'Apendicularitis' and my head stared aching too.
Just to add some more injury, the cell was out of stock.

And Anshu says that I can't complain because I don't have a strict dress code.

Fate's Warning

That's the name of a progressive metal band. I like all my posts to have something to do with music. Well, this post has got nothing to do with music, though.

One night while returning from that hell hole my colleagues call an 'office', passing by the petrol pump with a naked flame in my hand, found myself wondering this:

This 'fate' that people speak of, that last excuse for failures, is really a bad thing, isn't it...? What with it always being used in contexts like "Don't ride without a helmet, you don't wanna tempt fate now" or "Pay your insurance premiums, don't tempt fate".

Ever heard anyone go "Go buy that lottery ticket and tempt fate"?

Don't think too hard, just some random thoughts trying to fill the void left after the 'emancipation'...



Sweet thing, I watch you,
Burn so fast, it scares me.
My games, don't leave me,
(I've) Come so far, don't lose me.


...sang Anneke Von Giersbergen. I can't sing that any longer, and mean it, or can I?
