Politricks

It’s been a few days since I want to write about the political scenario of Kerala and it’s high time to change, but I keep postponing due to lack of privacy in office...ya ya writing from the room is an option but not in a mood (But now I am doing it from room) Then I left it being Valentine’s Week and stuff. Now what made me scribble is because I vet got a news to tell.
I have shifted my room, this new room is layered with green carpet, and the moment I saw it I remembered my mom, she wanted to lay a green carpet on the floor. Fortunately or unfortunately this place is above a restaurant and so I don’t have issues for food, but the only problem is whenever I go I feel like ordering North Indian Thali (Indian bread, Curries, Rice set) and it’s a bit expensive. Yes here in Oman, I will have to say nothing is cheap, other than the beverage drinks. Even though I have shifted to the new room, (it’s about 15 mines walk from my place) I have not given back the key, got lots of fond memories and I like that room. It’s not that I am clinging on to memories but yes it’s the room which saw quite a good number of actions. Lol.....and I were wondering if one more was possible.
Ok, now coming back to Kerala, I just don’t understand, why is it difficult to get things done/completed. Got plenty of investments coming, be it external or from the central govt. But nothing is being fulfilled; everything is pending on paper works, or just the laying of foundation stone. We have to thank the whole news media, for highlighting all these situations. It’s a separate issue that it’s the competitions for news that brings out these discrepancies of the bureaucratic system. I remember hearing about Hi-tech City, Spice Garden, Internet City, Metro Rail, IIT, but where are they all gone? But I was a bit taken back to read in a news paper, that palakkad (a dist in kerala), has become the first in India to be completely electrified, but I don’t remember anything of a launch for such a process, may be things which are hyped up are the projects that get caught in the black hole, where time stands still.
Something which I absolutely loved to hear was the reaction of youngsters to a political party worker in Mumbai. For many years they used to come out during the Valentine’s Day, crying it’s against the Indian culture. Oh please we have a rich cultural heritage and that doesn’t change, and don’t forget culture is what we make, it’s what we decide how to behave. Behaving like mad dogs then the solution is only crude oil. Yes people youngster’s poured crude oil on a politician who was going on blabbering about western culture influence and stuff, and in original, they had their children studying and enjoying all the western culture.

Joe Joe Joe McElderry

Hey my height of obsession for Joe McElderry is overwhelming myself. Have been watching his performance again and again for few days, even I recommend every one I get to meet online to check it out, even I told one of my colleague, had, mailed her the song, even I just sent her a reminder to Climb (enjoy) the song. Yes I am sure all of you will love his songs. He has got a beautiful voice, and you will start believing such is the passion and intensity in his voice...

The only thing which pisses me off is; it’s bloody difficult to upload the videos. Check out you tube or get the album itself, I am sure you will not regret it. Have to thank, Hi FM, 95.90, for introducing his singing to me.

Anybody find me somebody to love, hmmmmmm I am in love. Ok I love my ‘take away’ but I am not in love in the manner described by Shakespeare. Ya ya I have diversified love. It’s not entirely a new version, you must have heard about College Love/ Time pass love, so I am just rephrasing it as Visit Love. ......... We know that the chance of us seeing each other in India is minimum.

No No I am not comparing him with my first love at Hyderabad, but yes few of the things what we did or his actions reminded me of him. Ok let’s see what are the things that I can share hmmmm. We care for the environment, so we did our best to Save Water. We made sure only a thin layer of water run down between our bodies. After which we had lunch, or should I say brunch. He made Pulav (Indian Version of Fried Rice), and the only difference was that he likes it hot, and Hyderabad guy can’t stand chilly. But both made sure I eat (I am a bad eater, though it’s separate that I have been in this food business for long). Hey first love is First love, whatever you say it remains with you forever.

Interestingly they both are vegetarians; I have to say I was not a very much fan of vegetarian food, but have to thank a college mate of mine who introduced me to vegetarian food, made me relish it as non vegetarian food. It’s just how you prepare it, thanks to her I love vegetarian food, and by the way she lives in Oman. Anyways leaving her behind, let’s stick on to my take away guy. I am really gonna miss him, but i am gonna hold on to that feeling.

It’s like I am having starting trouble, not able to give it a start to today’s post.Even its pretty confusing what to christen the post as !!!!

Had a great evening talking. It’s been s few days we had met, so even he was pouring out his experiences and so was I. Our adventures with people who met online, and who we met face to face. I liked the conversation as it was simple two friends talking; Of course the talks were mostly about guys.
And yes the evening had happy ending, but it was on a sad note that he will be leaving soon to India. Am I sad….hmmm not exactly? When I met him, he had told me he is due to return in few days time. But Ill miss him.

Hey why am I talking about him leaving, he has not left, and we do indent on making what ever time possible a memory. Planning to go shopping some day soon (remember the customary gifts for relatives & friends).

Now for my professional life, a new assistant is joining my department, and I do have a doubt if he is gonna be an extra burden. Atleast that’s what I grasp from the reviews I hear about him from few staffs. Have kept my fingers crossed hoping he to be an asset to the dept. rather than a burden. And tomorrow is the customary ‘present the new scrape goat day’, lets see how that turns out to be. …lol

Rain Rain Come Again

Its flood time, people.

Today it rained in Muscat, and its reaction - my office was flooded. It was water and water, especially in reception area and unfortunately the slope of the floor was to my room, so I in water. Yes it’s a villa, and I was wondering if the person who built the property by mistake made a drain to inside rather than out side…lol
Actually, behind the reception, and file draws there is an exit, and the grill was temporarily closed, and some wise man had removed the covering sheet, so it was flood time.

It had been a hungama, thankful we had 2-3 cleaning staff and they worked good. In between one of the managers made an unnecessary comment that it’s the rain from India, and one cleaning staff was from India, I loved his reply “ Agar India Ka barish idar agaya tho Oman he nahi rahaga” (If the rain of India comes here then the whole Oman will be under water). I just smiled and moved away. Yes it’s true I don’t think the quantity of rain that India gets cannot be compared to rainfall in Oman. Sometimes there are floods arising here but it’s basically due to the topographical conditions rather than the quantity of rainfall.

And everyone preferred to have ‘garam garm pakoda & chai’ (fries & hot tea), atleast the Indian community in the office. But if you ask me I would have preferred to curdle down with someone under a nice warm blanket. Actually had plans of meeting him today, but I had postponed it to tomorrow, now I wish I had not done such stupidity. Lets see how the climate is gonna be tomorrow. Have kept fingers crossed for heavy showers, and if it’s a holiday, beautiful……..Ya ya I know it’s too much, hey I can dream.

First rain always brings out the excitement in all, I heard the oldest of my colleague saying she wish to go and enjoy a stroll in the rain. The same feeling I had with a small addition I wanted to enjoy the stroll with someone (brought memories of Hyderabad). To walk hand in hand in the rain, hey haven’t you seen most of the romantic sequences in bollywood movies are accompanied with rain. Definitely in India, people will be on the roads (snap posted is of Juhu Beach, Bombay).

04.02.2010 (short of titles)

Ok today was a bizarre day.

I have fallen in love with the rendering of “The Climb” by Joe McElderry, beautiful and of course he is handsome. No no I did not fall for his looks; it was his voice that attracted me first.

Had been enjoying his song for quite some time, and as it’s been 2 days since I did not get to meet my ‘take away’, I was in a mood to meet someone. And it so happened that one guy greeted me through Orkut, and the next thing I did was asked him if he is free to meet me. No idea how the person reacted or what his expression was, but he said yes.
And I just logged off and took the taxi to the meeting point, but it’s when I entered the vehicle did I realise that I have no idea about this guy. Even his name was not clear, and I was trying to find the clue to my stupidity. But as I had already set forth I continued the journey.

On reaching the designated place there was more of confusion. I did not know how to find out the guy, had informed him where I’ll be but I had no clue of how he looks, what he is gonna wear and stuff. (Ok, I forgot to tell, I did not give him the GSM number). So I was standing there, waiting for the unknown, even the net seems to be not supporting me. Some network problem so not able to log on and find if he replied to my last query of how to recognise him.
So the waiting continued........................and there I saw a stout guy waiting did have doubt if he is the guy. If he was the person, hmmmmm I don’t think. Ok, yes when I spoke to him had made it clear that I am looking for a coffee, a chat, nothing else as of now, as I did not want to take the risk I did not precede to him. In between I called the mobile service provider to clear my problem for the mail, and in between the bustle he happened to leave. So there goes my blind date.
So had my dinner came back empty handed...for two days it’s been bad luck for me in consideration with love life...let’s see when the time changes.

Emptiness

Am I happy yes and no…..Yes because its lust, and No because it’s not fulfilling.

Its really true love/ pleasure/ happiness. ...what ever you may name it. Sex is definitely not the ultimate; it’s the love between people that counts. Even to have a beautiful sex session its love/ passion/ craving for each other that plays the important role.

A meeting is scheduled but I am not so sure if ill be able to make it got an appointment with a doctor… lets see if I have tumor?
Earlier, even now, among friends we say, if some friend is sick and he goes to hospital, we clam that he has got some disease like, blood cancer, tumor, etc….. not on a serious note of course. I guess I have to thank the film industry of 80’s for popularizing such illnesses. Most of the movies during those times had climax as hero dying of blood cancer or brain tumor.

What ever be that, today I prefer a walk on the beach, a dinner, a movie, and of course ice cream…….. You know the romantic fool category. But it’s essential.

As truly said, you have to express that you love; you care for him/her. Gifts and flowers are one way of expressing, but I think the best way spending time with each other, a hug, a walk hand in hand.

Ok you might ask why cant I consider it as a trick…Don’t know, I can’t consider it as one.
