Random Thoughts

Have been really busy at work. Carry tons of work back home with me that I promise I will wake up at 5 in the morning and do. The alarm goes off and the 15 minute snooze routine begins till I have no option but to get out of bed. This morning I anyway got up at 5 without any alarm. I guess my internal clock has gotten accustomed to sounding an alarm at that time. The rest was no different though. I just lied around till the alarm went off and I began the snooze routine.

Bird flu has reached Saudi Arabia so I guess I will have to stay away from eating chicken. KFC will miss me sorely. They have been running a promotion where the smaller gifts for some reason all come with a radio. Till now I have gotten a pen with a radio, a mouse with a radio, a pocket fan with a radio and a walkman.

Liked rang De Basanti a lot. Having grown up idolising Bhagat Singh and Chandra Shekhar Azad and as kid having enacted the Company Bagh mudrer of the later all by myself many a time in the park in front of R- 797 in Rajinder Nagar, I was quite moved. I often wonder what Bhagat Singh would mean to the current generation and the film touches on just that. Some found it a bit extreme. I don't think it could have been any other way.

Have been obsessing over The Blowers Daughter by Damien Rice, Every rose has its thorn by Poison and Easy by Faith No More. Keep on playing them over and over again and singing aloud.

Some age old questions

In absence of inspiration
In the presence of loneliness
With a mind so numb to keep me company
A Ferrari might just bring me some happiness
Wake up. Who do you think you are?
Lowly Indian wage earner, get back to work.

In case you'd forgotten what I look like

shooting blanks

take careful aim
dont let that thought out of your sight
its still the same
the mind just shoots a blank again
