I had gone to lunch with my prof and a earlier-day colleague of his a week or so back..... this guy happened to be knowing a lot more about India and Indians much to my chagrin, i mite say... so in of those conversation starters he told me abt a few of his indian friends at work,..... and that he had seen them go on a vacation home and come back married...... it was so surprising to him as well as to some others here, how ppl can get married without getting to know their partners at all.....i was about to take the tried'n'tested route of "its an age-old tradition thing", when he interjected and probably found out the reason for its existence today, when he quipped "These indians are smart, coz if something goes wrong with it, they can very well blame their parents.. they picked her"....... yeah and there lies the secret of the indian marriage... the absence of guilt.....

I'm here at the computer lab, where amid the serene absence of ppl, i get annoyed by the constant clattering of just one keyboard... MY MY.. Does it drive me crazy or what.... and it happened to be one of those unneccesarily hectic days where u never know whr u last kept ur headphones... the sound of Raaga and MIO seem so distant a past..... Ever wonder when ppl get annoyed by some of the most unexplainable things... that brings me to a strange conflict of conscience... how annoying am I to others.. I'm no crowd pleaser, but still i feel kinda popular once in a while, but wud there be a million such things in me that mite drive ppl nuts!.. surely i hope they're not too blatant..... i remember one such instance vivid, and probably a couple of others watching a movie.... apart from that, I'm outta examples... So the next time when someone next to u drinks a cofee and "ooh-aahs" or someone shears their shoes while walking take a peek unto urselves, I just did and found it real scary.....ciao
