New Signs... For Urinals!

Yes, my fascination with loo's and shit still continues. =)

I was just wondering the futility of bathroom signs. This is the normal conventional signs you see in any restroom. And what stuck me was the fact, how irrelevant and obsolete these signs are anyway. I mean there are an increasing # of women who prefer wearing pants, and men who wanna cross dress ( and no I do not feature in that ). I mean seriously, the other sign featuring men with facial hair and short hair. But then again, if women esp in engg. colleges are any indication to go by, and with men trying to be metro-sexual ( read gay) then even those signs are gone for a toss. I mean the presence of dress/ hair does no longer signify women or the absence signify men.

So how should the new urinal signs look like? What criterion should they be designed on? Definitely not on the cultural stereotypes. Well if you ask a pervert like me, I will most definitely say it should be designed on "Equipment".

But then again, the challenge for the designer is not in drawing the "equipment" but in getting past the censor boards, because they most definitely will be a rage among perverts like me, and the best hangout spot will be outside the Loo, where ( i donno about others ) I will be standing and pointing at it and laughing my not so well formed ass off. And because of that the restrooms in India esp will get a makeover since they are known for their spine tingling, coma causing aromatic power.

Hell, I think with my radical ideas I may as well run for President.

ps: I like to talk about shit, not be in it. I ll pass the presidency for some lesser mortal like say APJ. ;)

Amul - A Short Story

Its morning again, I can hear the darned birds chirping outside, with my eyes still closed I can hear the ticking sound of the wall clock like the irritating sound of the water faucet dripping. The water faucet never drips in my house, because I don't like it dripping, like the way mom's head was dripping blood, and flooded the floor and spoiled the carpet. I like everything neat and clean. My name is Amul. I believe my father was especially fascinated by the utterly butterly delicious girl. Though I have a liking towards her myself I don't like to acknowledge that to anybody. Though not many people have actually found out about this connection. But am aware of this because my father during one of his happy drunken moods told me about this. And those are rare cases. I know for a fact that even if am genetically part of my father, I will never become like him. I study in the 7 th grade. And I like my school. My favorite subject is math. I don't understand why people...

A moment to Remember – They don’t make movies like these since 2004.

Can you recall the last movie which made you drop your defenses and your cynical view of the world and relationships? Can you recall the last movie which made you yearn for something which you knew was all reel but you hoped that it was real? Can you recall the last movie which made you invest so much in the lead characters that you forgot where you were and cried your soul out? Can you remember the last movie which made you reminiscence of a time when you truly and really believed in fairy tales? I do, well some of them anyway, couple of movies do pop in mind which might answer most of the questions I ask, ‘Jerry Maguire’, ‘Love Story’, ‘The Notebook’ and ‘50 First Dates’. But if you look at the release dates of each of these movies, Jerry Maguire – 1996, Love Story – 1970, The Notebook – 2004, 50 First Dates – 2004, it has been more than a decade since I have seen these movies.  2004, apparently seems to be the year, fairy tales for the new century were written and tra...

Happy reading... I suppose...

Hello! Been quite a while since I stared down at the blinking cursor. So here... Uploading ALL of the stories I started and left unfinished over the years (reckon some of this is from circa 2009). Not sure how long the download links will work for... So if you want to read something, reckon best to download them and then like most things in ones' refrigerator, junk them when mold begins to grow on it. NOTE: The work is not proof-read, so there will be errors, spelling mistakes, missing words among others. The Great Indian Mythology : Was supposed to be a re-telling of Mahabharat set in today's day and age in a tongue in cheek manner. But the more I read the actual original story, I realized I can't top the fuckedupness that already exists. But, I did enjoy writing few bits of it.  Will rate this 2/5. If you think what I have written is fucked up, wait till you read the actual story... Not the PG rated Amar Chitra Katha... Also points deducted because I didn'...
