Sick of this world

Hatred, selfishness, poverty, modernisation blah blah are getting on my nerves and I wish it would all fade away. Metallica's song Sad But True comes to the mind.

Germany , Airport and Me

I have been thinking what I shoudl be writing these days. I can pen all the things happening here and everyone would love it. I am a sadist. I don't want people to enjoy. :P Sorry, I was joking. I will put in more hours on this.

I have always admired the Germans and the Russians. Whom do I hate? Secret to be revealed. :) I took the German carrier. They have huge aircrafts compared to other aircrafts. Economy travel is made pleasant with the plush interiors. They also play good music and have a host of radio selections. There was even a Tamil channel.

Can you belive this? I am hearing to Sweet Home Alabama on the computer and I hear the same song blaring out on the radio. Thats a coincidence.. Love such things happening. yippie! Oopsie back to the carrier.

I settled in the aisle seat. It was dark. I was tired. I had narrowly made it to the airport. Do yu want to hear the story? OK here it goes.

I had been doing all the last day preparation of packing and buying stuff. In this confusion, spectacles was misplaced. They had been left in a shop. There were spare ones. I quickly had a bath at 4 30pm. My flight was at 7 pm I think I need to check out the plane timings. I had to leave by 5pm. But, lot of confusions and we were leavin by 5 30. I was driving my car and i made a decisoin that I will get the spectacles. I was putting so many people in trouble. I knew it and still I took the risk. I wonder why I take such risks.
So, I got the spectacles and made a dash towards the airport. I took the ring road from Koramangala. I thought its the quickest way to the airport and I would be there in a span of 1 mins. I got a shock seeing a diversion towards Domlur. I thought, it wouldnt take much time. I reached the Domlur ShantiSagar and lo the traffic stoppped moving. I waited. My parents waited. I was patient. I was a lil' concerned but was confident that if i started moving, I will take down all the vehicles on the road. That's confidence eh? Yeah. I waited for half an hour. I got nervous. I got out of the car . I took a few breaths of fresh air. Everyone had enough of this pit stop. I returned back and the next moment I saw some red lights flashing. I faintly heard some people saying that there our former CM was on his way back home. So, much for our convenience. HIgh time they got a copter for the VIPs. The line of vehicles started moving. I quickly changed gears and drove like a rally driver. I made it to the airport in 5 mins from Domlur with all the traffic around. I got out of the car. I asked my dad to park the vehicle coz i didnt want to miss the plane. I saw many of my friends waiting. I was dazed and lot nervous. I just gave a smile. I just managed to glance at my friends. I didnt even get time to say a goood bye to my parents and other loved ones. I have to curb my instincts at times and have to think about otehrs as well. Next time, I will do that and take the Mg Road. How's that ? Gotcha you right haha. Thats me.
There are some people who really got things goign whilst in the airport. Normally I dont take names. But then, I have to. One is Sudip for his excellent presence of mind asking us to check in baggages. How can i leave my mama? He is alwys dependable. He always gets it right. I am just lucky enough to have him so close. And lastly my lovely wife who is already bearing me for all the confusions i put her in.
I am thankful to all the people who made it to the airport. I hope they read this some time in the future. Others too got me on phone. I also had swithced phones whilke i was driving. hence, I coudlnt talk to people who called.
So, I walked and got the boarding pass. Two of us were the last people boarding the plane. The plane was packed. I got a seat beside a big assed guy and a gentleman who was not that big. All the things that happened that day just played ni front of my eyes. I heaved a sigh of relief and drank the juice served.
We made it to Chennai and waited for 2 hours to take the flight to Frankfurt. I boarded Lufthansa at 1 30 am and I quickly fell asleep. I woke up and found a water bottle on my tummy. It was all dark and some people were making it at the back. I too went to get some juice. And hell, what do I see there? No,, dirty fellas I didnt see any skin. I saw two bottles of wine: White and red. I got my juice and didnt even look at the two bottles. I returned back and rued my chance. How I wished I coudl finish the whole bottle!! OK , let me get some skin in to the aircraft. Lufthansa from India have very pretty air hostesses. There always will be one air hostess who will be over the top kind. And, she will never serve me. This is bad. Yes, I knwo I am married. I aint asking her for a date. I just want her to serve me. Wifey if you read this, i wrote this only to add spice.
I had another nap and breakfast was served. I liked it. In the next 10 mins we heard that we were landing at Frankfurt. We landed. I still love King Fisher for their landing. They have the smoothest landing. *not that I am a frequent flier * I came out of the aircraft to board a bus. A small breeze just caressed. I loved it. After 8 hours of travel, even the coldest fresh air is heaven. It was 3 degree celsius. It was cold. We were at the transit in Frankfurt. We rached there at 7 30 am and had to wait till 1 30 pm. Frankfurt doesnt have enough seats for passengers waiting for the aircraft. I coudl see many ppl squatting on floor. Some were sleeping too. I said India and the world over are the same. When the need comes, everyone needs to kiss the earth with their a***. The wait was killing me. I hate to sleep and i took a few walks all around the terminal. I also solved 4 Sudoku. Then after a long wait, it was 12 noon. That wsa the time to enter the gates. And another Lufthansa to catch for another 8 hours. Yippie i said lets do it again. This flight had the worst airhostesses you can find. All were very old. I thiink I sle[pt the whole journey. As we were nearing our destination *which is a secret*, we got a message from the pilot saying its very busy and he has to circle round to get his time to land. I just saw out and saw huge clouds. Clouds that were thick and rain bearing were all aroudn us. The aircraft rocked. It moved up and down. I coudl see some people taking out he paper buckets to gather some stuff. I said to myself, if i am no more its hte best way to die. Dependents alwyas get huge sums for the air tragedy. It was a scary moment when the aircraft was rocking. But somehow we landed and there was a cheer of joy in everyones faces. Wow1 i said were we so close to danger? I wouldnt know. Only our pilot and the black box woudl tell the real story.

Thats the end now. I am feeling lkot sleepy. I am not geting the flow right. Eeek. I hope to improve.

Someday- just cant stop hearing it

I aint gonna tell where I am. Most ppl who are close know where I am hiding. :P Place has beautiful weather. I guess the weather god just wanted me to enjoy the weather. A big thumbs up to HIM. I love the weather, love the place, love the work. I don't have any preference when it comes to work. But I love to work. And its nice to see ppl working during the working hours here. Also, ppl also come in early and go home early. I love early risers and the morning time is the most productive time. Thats where India is lagging behind. We want to complete work in the evenings or late nights all the time.
Anyway, I am in a mood to listen to music. When I want to think how my life is goign, I listen to music and think deeply. I am currently listening to "Someday we are gonna dance with those lions".
If I can just recollect the songs that i have in my collection, all of them have good meaningful lyrics. I dont know how i picked up "Good to be on the road back home". It tells you about the evils of drinking. Tell me this is coincidence. [:D] . I have "Yellow" which describes my life. I feel everything is yellow all the time. Yellow is not a colour of positiveness. Its much like a situation wherein you love the way you are but there are still things that can be improved. Then, I have "Whereever I roam". That song always plays when I have to make myself arrogant and show other ppl the middle finger. I feel doubly strong and in that mood, its better you avoid me. To most ppl I woudln't show my arrogance. If I am pissed off royally, I will be sulking and i guess its someone else who takes a hit. [:D] Watch out for those painful moments.

Right now as I write, I am hearing to it. [:D]
Anyway, I think I will just sleep now. Its good to be back on the road back home. I want to get to the feeling of "Earth becomes my throne, i adapt to eh unknown".
I know i am feeling a lot worse today and words are not crisscrossing. I wonder why. I think I will stop here for better things to write tomorrow. Catch you in the future if the future beholds!!!

Here i am again

Lots of things have happened in my life after November. I am on the path where I thought I would never tread. Finally on 24th Dec, I chose it and will stick to it. Thats what I promised. *wicked laugh* I had also was running to get my visa stamped.
There is a small story to tell. I don't know but i think myself and my friend had been to this astrologer. We had been to get my friend's horoscope checked if he can get married. Our good astrolger had advised something to my friend regarding the job, overseas travel and marriage. The astrolger asked my bday. I said I didn't want to get it checked. But, mn friend insisted and here there was, the astrologer telling me that I will be here in India and I would never step a foot outside India. Hmm, I thought. Thats fine. I will be happy in India and India has to keep the curse of me living in her country. *wicked smile* And, I was still thinking of it when my visa was stamped. I said to myself, somethign should go wrong now for sure. How foolsih i was to still have his words in my head. Another thing to add was I was goign to Singapore after the lane switch. (guess what the lane switch is hehe ). And, on 30th Dec, I was in the airport still thinking about it. I was happy when the immigration officer asked me to wait. I am sadist at times. But, then a senior officer let me through. No, this cannot happen. What a twist in fate!!! I was still thinking, the plane is not goign to leave the ground. But it took off. Then, I said Jim Morrison here I come with THE END. But, I am sorry but ti didnt happen and I was walking in Singapore airport with the immigration gal smiling and she even offered a candy. Great I said. I finally have put my foot in to land I was not supposed to touch.

Singapore was fine. Nice cars, nice hotel, good clean roads and lots of beautiful chics. The dressing sense of most Singaporeans is really high class. Children are cute *i ain't paedophilic*. I guess they are born to look fat and then they shed fat as they grow up and the gals become hot as they reach puberty. Gal are pretty and their skin is flawless. The New year's eve was fun. At 11 30 pm we were running around to catch the fireworks coz the whoel roads were jam packed and cars woudlnt move. Anyway, when there is action and adventure thats what i like and where I thrive. I got to watch the last of the fireworks. And then spent 3 hours just getting the breath back. Reached the hotel on all the days at 3 am. I didn't see any policeman when i was there. That speaks volume of security. Singapor has loads of malls. There are places like Little India, China Town. Please don't miss th ferry ride along the river and the sea. We missed the sea one. The most enchanting was Sentosa. Musical fountain is the speciality. I love Sentosa. I think I woudl like to come back to Singapore to spend more time. *Someday we are gonna dance with those lions ( remember)*
Then, Kuala Lumpur was the next destination. One day of the city tour and then the next day in Genting Highland. Cant speak high about this city. It too has Little India and China Town. I think its China Town where you get cheap watches. Well, if you want to wear it for a month and throw you can buy these watches. All of them are designer watches. [:)] and they are damn cheap.
So, I have already turned the tide of my fate. Lets see how my future changes with the present changes. [:)]
