Somewhere on the streets of Mumbai..

Kolkata..
This place still sucks… All these months away, I had expected atleast some improvement but no!! Yes, there are changes, but no improvements. The traffic is as bad and the roads worse. Riding a bike is a pain in this city. The other day, I was almost run over by a tram. Yes, the tram tracks are on the road itself. Whenever it rains, the traffic situation becomes much worse. It’s also hot, humid and dirty.
The only thing good in this city is Someplace Else, the pub at Park Hotel. With Live bands playing every night and booze not very expensive, it’s a great place. The Hip Pockets play there wednesdays and fridays. They are a treat to listen to. They play all the classics and Pink Floyd numbers.
Also, I like cruising along St. George’s Gate road at night. The traffic is measly and you get a beautiful view of driving along the Hoogly river.
Anyways, getting tired of inactivity and boredom. Trying to accumulate the will to start going to the gym and hopefully, will go on Monday.

Life’s in the dumps..
Lately, life’s in the dumps. If it weren’t for a few good things happening in my life right now, I would surely have gone over the edge. Never was the unpredictable nature of life more apparent than it is now. Somethings happen which you never expect 🙂 , somethings which you expect surprisingly don’t happen 🙁 . The worst thing is that you don’t know why you’re down. You sometimes realize your mistakes but then it’s too late to correct them. Sometimes, you don’t even know what went wrong. Three things really help to keep yourself going in the order of preference- Friends, Music and Chocolate. The company of friends is like a magic cure for such things. But surely, the most difficult part of life is making choices. How you wish someone could help you with difficult choices in life but realization dawns in that it’s only you who has to decide and then face the consequences. People may help you a lot in making those choices but it’s only you who has to bear the consequences.
It’s further depressing that I’m writing this instead of studying for my sessional tomorrow. So I think I’ll be off now to study…
Cleaning drive
Happy Birthday Vishal!!
Happy Birthday dude!!! I think it was 2002 we last met. You moved to some other country and were lost without trace. I have tried in vain to find you over the last so many years. Tried everything but you seem to have vanished off the face of the earth or at least the internet. I still remember your birthday though and wish you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Cheers to all the fun time we had together!!! Miss your dog jeanie, your playstation and most of all you!!
United 93
Went for movie today afternoon show. The movie was United 93. Since the reviews were good on yahoo movies, decided to give it a try. The movie infact was quite OK. But the thing that made it intolerable was the shaking camera. Maybe the Cameraman had Parkinsons or maybe they did it deliberately to spice up the movie but the results were horrible. By interval, everyone had a headache and I felt like throwing up. Some people even decided to go beat up the guy who operates the projector. I contented myself with going off to sleep and waking up much later feeling much fresh. Epilepsy patients beware! The constant screen shaking and the bright flashing lights may trigger an attack.
Rest, life is boring. Spending most of my money on bowling which I am now addicted to. Have return tickets to nagpur for the 18th but may run out of patience early and go back before 18th.

How will you die?
 You scored as Disappear. Your death will be by disappearing, probably a camping trip gone wrong or an evening hike you never returned from. Always remeber that one guy who was hiking alone and got in a rock slide. He could have died, but he cut his own hand off to save himself. Don’t end up like him (or worse, dead).

Exam Days..
Exams starting from tomorrow. Again, following tradition, I am giving 9 papers. Too bad some people just don’t know the fun of giving exams every other day. Anyways, study is going good helped by Mr. Gilmour and chocolates. Also, discovered that chocolates and coffee are the best bet against depression. Will post more about my exams soon.
Shit City
Had to spend another week at the Shit City Kolkata. Here are a few pics to show you how this place is:-
This is one of the posh neighborhoods near FORUM mall in bhowanipore.
These are pics of a place on Free School street. It’s a huge garbage dump full of garbage and animal carcasses. The place is very stinky, full of flies. The sky above is full of vultures and other birds eating the carcasses and garbage. This place is one of the biggest wholesale areas in Kolkata. Also, you can see kids playing cricket in this shit place. Occassionally, you can feel bits of meat drop from the birds up in the sky.This place sucks..
