Reality is pain in the wrong place...

So my career move has gotten me thinking about a lot of mundane things which I normally would like to brush under the carpet.

1. New office: is another 4 KM away from my prev work place, so that kicks up the commuting cost.

2. New Pay Package: Though am getting ample saving options in this new pay package, I will be getting lesser money on hand than what I was getting previous to this, so that kinda restricts my splurges.

3. I will have to settle off the advance of my apt this month.

All in all kind of leaves me in deep shit this month and the next couple of month, till I can use some of the saved money.

Here are the following solutions which are scary and difficult but not impossible.

1. no booze. Knocks out about 500. Thats like 3 full bottles of rum.

Scary bit: I really donno how I am going to manage the loneliness stayin sober. Its gonna be bad. Real bad. Scary. Trust me.

2. No buying smokes. Let me be very clear. Am not buying smokes, that does not mean am quitting smoking. I just won't buy smokes. I will just have to bum smokes from people who have and are generous enough to give me a smoke or 2. And also the majority of my savings are coming from here.

3. Learn to travel by bus: I thought of gettin myself a cycle the one in jo jeeta wo sikandar types which I always wanted. But then cycling 16 KM everyday did not sound like so much of fun. And esp the weather here whcih sucks totally, cycling in the rains is not such a good propostion. Will have to save up and buy a bike.

4. No partying: self explainatory.

So basically am just hoping and praying that they swamp me with so much of work that I find it hard to breathe. And I love it. Scary really thinking about doing nothing and being sober and not smoking. Scary. Did i say that already. ???

FAQs

I have no idea why, not that I am complaining but there is huge surge in the number of people who are now reading my blog. And this has been bought (or is it brought, will never really get the difference between the two) to my attention by the slew of comments, by different people, a majority of them complete strangers. And I always have the same old standard questions which keep cropping every single time whenever I see an anon comment. So just like every other great idea of mine, which seem to glow like those bulbs which I first saw in Archie comics (mostly around Dilton's head, guess that is his name, the nerdy guy, don't really remember it so well, read that when I was in 4 th grade or something, my favorite was Moose), and the idea stuck that why don't I get these questions out of my system, whether they get answered or not is totally different issue. Though I understand that the reason why people chose to be anonymous is either they are famous and want common mortals...

Open Letter to the Chennai Male Engineering Students

Hello you-male-incumbent-potential-future-ignorant-regressive-khap-policy-makers, Before I begin, let me first clarify as to why I intend this letter to be both open and specific to Chennai Male Engineering college students. It is open because you lot are, as they say in English, idiots! I am also slightly inebriated at the moment, as they say in Tamil, I am in full mabbu. The only reason, I am making this post specific to Chennai Male Engineering students, because unfortunately I did my engineering in the city of Chennai. This maybe largely generalized in content and scathingly rhetoric in nature. I don’t expect you to comprehend most of things I embark on saying. Consider this to be a very Aamir Khan starring Mangal Pandey where a lone warrior foolishly wages war when the rest of his unit is smart enough to CYA* (Cover Your Ass). I am well aware of this survival instinct which is prevalent in you lot, I have been at the receiving end of it on many an occasion with my own batch...

Awesomeness Inc.

It has been a L O N G time since I have been this excited and proud to own something. The last time it was the Zippo and before that it was my first pair of Nike. Anyway... Ladies and Gentlemen. Hold your breathe and your pee, because I present to you 8 posters of awesomeness. Duly bought and framed and to be hung as a badge of snobbery. My personal favorite as you would by now be knowing is Rocky. After the infamous calling my hostel mate gay night of 2nd Jan, 2003, where I lost my Rocky IV poster, I believe this more than makes up for it. I also absolutely love the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Now the real problem is that these posters are mighty huge and I am not sure which posters are going in which room. But those are just details at the moment. For the time being, I am getting me knob polished by the awesome light being reflected off these beauties...
