diary of a traveler

As i noticed one or two posts in some blogs about Vespa scooter, this idea popped up in my mind to re-visit on paper all the accidents which should be termed mild collisions actually as i escaped with least injury every time ! I used to travel by bus 2 years back in the beginning of 2007 which was really very interesting as it was my only chance during the day to somehow come in contact with the general public with whom i had no relation of any kind. That was fine only for going office at the decided time every day, so i got this idea of having my vespa scooter from my parents' home. As i am writing about collisions, the most significant ones are with the traffic police obviously ! It seemed to me throughout all these years that i am carrying some kind of indicator on my forehead that makes them recognize the culprit inside me at once. Mostly this happens on holidays as if its mandatory to register with the authorities every day in one way or another, thus i get myself registered i...

Love is life - whenever i read this i wonder what's wrong with me ? It has always been a mystery for me how people fall in love, and even today i haven't made any significant breakthrough towards solving it. I have witnessed many Valentine's days during my college days. I could see girls and boys wandering around the Campus with Pink roses in hands and rosier feelings in their hearts but never was lucky enough to behold the magical moment (as in love stories and romantic movies) of proposing the opposite sex. You would say I was just unlucky but i think there was an international conspiracy to save me from the fool's paradise called Love. Anyway, its the same indian society around me as we are passing through 9th year of 21st century. Its a rainless monsoon evening and i am as lonely as ever at my residence trying to write about my current love interest -SMOKING !! Shocked, aren't you ??!!! (i think i should let the shock feeling sink in for a few days, then i...

Today is the day to show the world how dirty my (rented) house looks these days and the shocking thing is i am pretty ok with all the dirt and papers, polythin bags etc thrown away carelessly in my place ! The most used place here is obviously my bed as i lie there for at least 6 hours of my day in the company of daily newspapers in morning and novels at night. And this is the place where many greatly innovative ( and most of the times rebellious) thoughts keep bombarding on my mind ! the Sitting Room with no sitting arrangement ! Oh even from this angle nothing seems available in the room to rest one's behind on ! Kitchen looks richer than the hall, i've got traditional "matka" to be filled with water obtained from professional water purifying plant ! And the electric heater is not working, its connected just to show its presence and give one a better feel of kitchen ! dont bother about the garbage here, presently i m not cooking anything here !

its the same old sad story, even after so many years of having experienced the fact that change has to come from inside me and nobody' going to bother how i suck all day on a sunday, i still can't make up my mind to move on and forget the past. So here i am, once again surfing aimlessly on the net while hoping that the clock move faster and its Monday again and i can engage in whatever useless (at least for me it is) work given by (so called) seniors and come back home with a relatively smaller task of spending evening alone !

Well, this certainly is a risky subject to talk 'bout openly as it could possibly be misused ! Still being a (so-called) adventurous person, let me just declare my latest addictions. Now latest doesn't mean it all happened overnight ! Plenty of disturbances and a certain period of time is required to hook me onto something, believe me ! i started online share trading bout one and a half year ago in August 2007 with Zero knowledge about stock market. As i need to engage and focus my mind constantly on one thing and the office work was not that thing at all, the experiment turned into habit in just 6 months and after one year and loss of about 100,000 Rupees, i got into the chase of getting back the money i had lost ! Fact is i m not much interested in making money from the beginning, its the unpredictable and occasionaly wild fluctuations in share prices that hooked me ! Never mind the losses, just think of the thrilling time i had in between typing letters or preparing useless ...

in the short history of my blogging adventures, this is undoubtedly the most beautiful post ever, even if i am not able to write anything fresh or special about it !

Frustration is defined in Webster's Dictionary as: “a deep chronic sense or condition of insecurity, discouragement, and dissatisfaction arising from thwarted desires, inner conflicts, or other unresolved problems.” Frustration is spending 30 minutes on the phone with customer service (HA) regarding an issue with your cell phone....and receiving circular talk and NO remedy to the problem! Frustration is talking to customer service (again, HA) of not just one, but 2 companies, and because your call has been transferred to India, having to constantly ask the individual to repeat themselves because you cannot understand them.... especially after finding out your friend's son has lost his job because the contract of the company Cincinnati Bell uses for Zoomtown IT support was not renewed~~ because CB has outsourced to the Philippines.Frustration is.... the poison ivy between my fingers...outsourcing and the growing unemployment rate...the ever changing price of petrol...the cost of...
