Of Dreams, rants, tennis and other inane stuff...

I've been having dreams involving people I know personally, and not very nice dreams they have been. I only hope they never "see the light of day".

How much ever I seem to earn on paper, at the end of the month, I only seem to be getting peanuts. Aaaarrrrghhhhh! Chidambaram!!! You darn dog!

I just cannot understand how we Indians continue to pin our hopes on that higly-overpaid highly-underachieving Sania and Tendulkar and the like. Its a given that they are yet another bunch of talented yet greedy losers. When will we change?

---

Of late, I've noticed that I seem to be thinking really really clearly when taking a dump! I have these really startling ideas on how to solve issues at work when bowel movement happens! And I've been astounded by my own ideas that are "generated". What's happening to me? What could be the reason for this "crystal clarity when dumping" ???

One of my colleagues suggested that it is possibly because it is really quiet, and nothing interesting enough to divert your attention.

Possible...

While we on the subject of taking a dump, when I had my previous mobile (Nokia 6630), I practically took gaming to the next level - that is, gaming in the loo. Aaah... SkyForce Reloaded game never felt as good as it felt when gaming in on the pot! AbSoLuTe BlIsS! The pot really rocked..... LOL

Moving to a slightly related topic, you may have a noticed that I said "previous mobile". Due to sibling pressure, I had to part with that beauty of a mobile, and present it to my sister. And now, I am walking around with a technologically advanced phone. Its really amazing. It is also a flashlight. And damn, the battery in this one ROX BIG TIME! I get like 8 days of battery life on this one. Can you guess which one???? The mighty and amazingly powerful Nokia 1108

Or should I have called it "technologically challenged phone" ???

One of the major gripes that I have with this "new" one is that its keyad go clickety-clack-clack when typing sms's or playing that game in meeting rooms. Damn! The entire room can hear it. Meetings used to be such great places to hone your mobile gaming skills!

Pity that the "scope" of honing has reduced greatly...

I've been hooked onto these three songs for this past week:
1) Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai (Euro Mix) from the movie Gangster
2) Woh Lamhe (DjMix) from the movies Zeher
3) Mummy ko nahi hai pata (Remix)

Especially the second one. It is just toooooo damn superrrrrrrr! And dont even get me started on the third one. I have to control myself from just starting to dance when I hear this song.

I read somewhere that it is possible to burn 400 calories in 20 minutes on the elliptical cross-trainer (as shown in the digital meter). I've been trying to get near that mark. Of course, not in one go, but in two sets of 10 minutes each. Today I managed to reach 184 calories in 10 minutes. I believe that 200 in 10 is doable. But dont expect me to even be talking after the first round. Damn tough one this!

Usually, in the second round, I am able to manage only about 160.

My gym instructors are baffled when I tell them that I am trying to target 200 cals in 10 mins. They're like "Dude! You're animal."

Pity, all that slogging doesn't show up physically anywhere.

When I was small, I used to say all the darndest things. There used to be this christian newly wedded couple next to our house in Bahrain (I was in Bahrain till the 3rd-standard). And my parents used to invite them over to our house for time-pass. The lady's name was Rita. One evening, after they left, my father remarked to my mother that Rita looked like a horse. They didn't realize that I was listening intently to them (I was quite young - probably in 1st standard at that time - and anything I heard I used to pay very good attention). The next day, when the kinda Aunt Rita came over, and when she and my mother were cutting some vegetables, I happily squealed

"Aunty. My daddy said that you look like a horse"

I used to think that "looking like a horse" was a compliment.

I still wonder what my mother said to Rita after the squealing of the said "compliment".

I wonder whether my mother remembers this incident. If she does, I probably will ask her, and post what happened afterwards.

I believe, an outsider would have had a good laugh.

Hmmm... what else? I recently discovered that when you consume alcohol, even a teeny weeny little amount on an empty stomach, it goes STRAIGHT to the head... in minutes.

Ok folks, that's a wrap. Ciao. Till next, take care!
