The Alchemy Of Wrong Times

-
When do you realize that you are going through a bad patch ?

-- When you take a wrong turn at a very familiar traffic junction..
-- When you get problems from the least expected sources..
-- When things which you'll normally do within an hour takes you about one day..
-- You blog when you should be sleeping..
-- When everything that u do hit one roadblock or other..
-- When you forget things that you should be remembering
-- When even your cellphone fails ( My motoming is getting switched off automatically
once in a while..any pointers to probable reasons?? )

Suggested solutions by various people

-- Take a beer :-) ..( New yr party coming up :-) )
-- Be professional..Do one task at a time and be focussed on it.. ( I try to do that ..but in the long run, man is not a machine )
-- Assume nothing is wrong..Do things the way you do ( Thats a good one..but things will go on till one thing or other breaks down )
-- Find a girl ( I remember a famous quote which someone forwarded -- " Statistically every average looking girl in b'lore has atleast two boyfriends and 4 other guys who claim to be her boyfriends " ..I don't want to add more chaos :-) )
-- Travel ( Just back from a 4 day break which involved quite a lot of travel )
-- Blog these things ( Yeah..thats what I'm doing )

There's only one thing revolving around in my head. New year's bash. Nothing like a nice party to get you in 'high spirits'. I would like to see anyone disagree.

Is this something like a monotonically increasing function ? The better a girl looks, the more the number of boyfriends she has ?

@vinay -- Well, I guess if you plot beauty Vs no: of ppl who want to be her boyfriend, u may get a logarithmic plot, with curve flattening as you go up in the beauty scale.. :D . So Yes, statistically it is a monotonically increasing function :)

@umesh -- I think most of us too will end up like that :)

@narayanan -- Even Indian PM might not have such a schedule :D

@rinchen -- Thats called wishful thinking :)

@anurag -- I know..but at certain times I feel it is better to concentrate on one task :)

1. I still don't understand how people could like the taste of beer. I have always loved rum, vodka and gin.. the taste rocks..I've been recently introduced to scotch 'n it ain't bad either.

2."Statistically..." excellent quote.

@sanju: You drink for the taste? THE TASTE??
If you want taste, better go drink some Fruit Punch or Raspberry Juice.

Some people just refuse to change Link1 :- 5 HIV+ students shown door from a school . When will people change ? I feel very bad reading this report.. The stigma associated with HIV casting its shadow upon kids less than 11 years old.. And that too the ostracization coming from educated people from a state supposed to be among the most literate ones in India... Link 2:- Guruvayoor Purification You can play the devotional songs of Yesudas in a temple.. but you cannot allow him inside the temple.. If a child's grand-mother happens to be a Christian, the temple should be purified after the Child's entry to the temple...These are some of the 'rules' @ Guruvayoor. Disgusting to hear such news really.. Though I'm no communist in a classical sense, I'm a great admirer of A.K Gopalan and K . Kelappan for their struggle to throw open the temple gates to people...

Travelogue - Taskent

The very name of Tashkent resonates with mysteries and conspiracy theories for India, connected with our erstwhile Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri's death.  The city had a bit of an obscure feeling as we landed on a Saturday early morning. In a congested airport terminal filled with a cacophony of languages from across the world, it took a bit of time to converse properly toning down the pace of speech and bridging the language barrier as we changed currencies, took a local SIM (e-SIM didnt work!) took a taxi and left for our  hotel, in a quaint corner of Tashkent - Ateca Hotel Suites   That spell of unfamiliarity was broken on the very next day morning as we met an Indian origin couple from Silicon valley in our hotel lobby.  Our first day's guide Ruslan made us quite home with his confident communications and confident style taking us through the central monuments such as Amir Timur museum, Chorsu market and the iconic TV tower.  Timur / Tamerlane is a nati...

Travelogue - Samarkand

As we stepped off the high-speed Afrosiyob train from Tashkent , our guide greeted us in Samarkand an—a city as ancient as Rome, once a vital crossroads on the Silk Road, and a true melting pot of civilizations. This is Samarkand: enigmatic, storied, and endlessly fascinating. We checked in to our hotel, Hotel Samaria Resorts & Spa, near Registan Square Silk Road Trade Routes converging @Sogdiana / Samarkand The Silk Road’s Heart: Sogdiana and Samarkand The Silk Road conjures images of caravans winding through mountains and deserts, and Samarkand—once known as Sogdiana—was where many of these routes converged. I expected a city as bustling as Alexandria , but Samarkand surprised me with its neatness, spaciousness, and welcoming atmosphere. The influence of Soviet rule is still visible in the city’s broad avenues and enduring infrastructure. Many medical and technical institutes from Soviet times continue to thrive, and during our stay, we dined at a restaurant run by Indian studen...
