Changes

pic of white tiger at singapore zoo, clicked by me. got an SLR by the way :)

This is a random (asinine) post, I was pondering over how much things have changed, or rather was trying to analyze the trails of that evolution.. my progress.

An idea of what adorned the walls I lived within over time:


School:

One cut out pic of "the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be"- Bret the Hitman Hart- Poster of Razor Ramon (with his chains, tooth pick etc), The Undertaker (both wrestler posters from Young Times mag ), Some cricketer pictures cut out from the newspapers, Lot of wrestler stickers, Lots of comic hero stickers, Lots of UAE flag stickers, some Indian flag stickers.


High School: My first proper room of my own:

Some obsession with the silly tattoos, that came with alpenliebe toffees. One wall was partially covered with that. Behind the door I had a list of 'To study' that covered the entire syllabus and changed from 10th standard to 12th standard in between.

Also One nice picture of Goddess Saraswati, one of Ayyappa Swamy. Cricket world cup schedule. Calendars. Etc.


College: College hostel - shared room with two equally crazy batch mates.

Hehe, Thirteen topless females on one wall (The one I woke up looking at most days). Katrina Kaif, Trisha Krishnan, some other models actresses on cupboards. There were some actors too I guess, but about Katrina and Trisha I am pretty sure.
Thermocol cut out that said "WAKE UP' and was colored red, right on the ceiling, to act as an inspiration.
Art work, in the form of slogans all over the room.

Totally remember a friend's parent who accidentally walked into the room, go red in face, say "er, ok.. see you then…" and leave.


Work: Here I stick to what's around me at work place.

Telephone numbers of some of our clients.
Extension numbers of colleagues.
On a post it note, some PC names and passwords, some file names.. Another post it note with Dubai Int'l Film Fest enquiry contact details. I didn’t go for anything, that’s a different matter J

A small bit of paper on which, I made a drawing of my Manager's dog. (poodle- easy to draw).Another small bit of paper on which, I drew a long haired guy, to mark my territory. Ha!


..........How much have I changed along with everything else. Hmmm.....

How NOT to How TO

Bored/frustrated cat seen watching the world passing by. The world took a pic and uploaded it. Looks like the world is bored and frustrated aswell. hmm.. does that count as a metaphor?

The earlier post
How not to ask her phone number, if I am honest is supposed to be followed up with other lessons like:
How not to call her up
How not to email her and
How to avoid lame jokes in emails.

But NO, the posts wont be coming anytime soon. Because after each goof up I am still trying. And I am hell bent on writing something positive ONLY.
Something appreciable as iam known to give up pretty quick in certain areas ;) This is a social experiment afterall :))

Have had a rather interesting past few weeks, one being the disco dandiya 2008. music sure is the purest form of the drug. enjoyable evening. Sightings include Guys who seem to have spent their life savings on Hair Gel, Hair colors, Hair clips and piercings. Girls.. well, pretty girls ;). Families, children, a fine day where iam sure all ages enjoyed.
Was the show a bit disorganised. Yes.
Was there booze at the venue. No.

Other recent developments is that my long held belief that bollywood produces only trash has changed a bit. Saw Mumbai meri jaan and Rock On. Very good movies. About TZP going to Oscars , sad. we can do better than that! I mean TZP was good, but not so good.

Trying to take a week off to visit India soon. Hope it happens.
