Blood-suckers!!

It's freakin 6:30AM in the morning, and I am up already....AND blogging! Have barely got 5 hours of sleep last night.

You wanna know the reason/cause of me committing such a sin (getting only5 hours of sleep IS a sin)......it's called MOSQUITOES!!!

Blood-sucking, ravaging, irritating and most definitely thirsty mosquitoes!!

These little damned winged insects come out at night and torment us like no other. Even Himesh Reshammiya' songs are bearable when compared to a night in a house with mosquitoes.

I fail to understand this, and I beg someone to offer me a sensible answer----Why on earth did God create mosquitoes??! I mean, think about it....they don't help the nature in any way, they aren't food to any animal and hence are of zero use in the animal-kingdom food-chain, they don't get rid of garbage or any thing like crows and stray dogs .....they are of absolutely NO use to the planet Earth.

How and why is it that they appear only during the night? I am sorry, but I never remember reading that mosquitoes are nocturnal insects. Maybe the scientists should do some research on that one.

They seem to appear out of thin air at my place. I mean, inspite of all windows and doors being closed, and killing as many as possible with my 'bare hands'- their number only seems to swell. It's almost as if, for each mosquito I kill...3 more are born out of thin air.

At this point, you may wonder why the hell am I not using mosquito repellents like the coil or the All-out etc,...Well my dear friend- FYI- I had a full size mosquito coil (brand JET I think it was) lighted and also switched on the All-out in the middle of the night....but the monsters just didn't seem to get affected.

I have a few theories by now (courtesy of lying awake at 6am in the morning thinking and cursing mosquitoes after having gotten very little sleep) as to why God made these tiny imitators-

1- They are a part of Satan's/Devil/Shaitaan's team. They were given special permission by our beloved Almighty to be placed and roam on Earth and to suck on people's blood - just to remind them how Hell would really be if we weren't good.

2- They were created so that Man could come-up with and learn new slangs/abuses/curses and use them on others too. Like the way I came up with a few new ones just by sitting and staring at the wall early in the morning today. I CANNOT mention those 'gaalis' here because I'd like to keep my blog free of any 'bad language'.

3- They are a spy project by the Russians or some enemy country of ours to test how and when we get irritated, thus gaining knowledge on our pain-bearing capabilities.I bet they will be working on some futuristic weapon with all the data that they recieve and eventually use it as a biological weapon one day.

Wonder why, inspite of all the freakin advancements that science has made, Man hasn't been able to come up with a fool-proof and 100% effective solution to this malice. If I have money some day, I'd initiate a foundation and offer up $1 million to anyone who achieves the aforementioned (just like Richard Branson offers a huuuge amount of money to anyone who can come with a 100% eco-friendly car). Even right now, I am willing to offer 40% (sorry...that's all I can afford to give away....rest goes into rent and bills...)of my next-month's salary to anyone who gives me a foolprooof method to eliminate these pests.

It's 7:00 am now and I've been blogging about mosquitoes since half an hour---How crazy does that sound man?! sheeesh...Gotta get a grip on myself.

I'll sign off now coz' daylight has broken into the skyline and just like vampires, these awful little $#%$^!^ have started disappearing...plus I need to get some sleep if I need to survive the day at work.

Adios and peace out!

.......there's one mosquito resting on my LCD....easy now....easy......SWAP!! HA!!-- deadmeat you are my dear mosqui!!!

peace !

Thank God it's MARCH!

The month of March this year is of special significance to me....

Primarily because there are two major sporting events that start around the end of the second week of this month.

First, my all time favourite and the fastest sport on the planet - FORMULA 1's 2010 season kicked off this sunday with the first race being held in Bahrain. It has been a loong winter wait since the end of the last season in November. Usually, this period of NO races is boring and the only thing that keeps fans of F1 alive and breathing are the drivers reshuffling between teams and any major buy-outs or new- drivers. This last no-race period has been pretty exciting beacause of Micheal Schumacher's comeback and many other reasons (that can be found on my other blog )

And also the third season of the Indian Premier League (IPL)kicked off in the second week of March as well. The IPL has been a hit in its previous two versions and I am pretty sure that it'd do well t his season too. There haven't been any major additions to the teams but the Teams avoiding the acquisition of Pakistani players sure kicked up a storm on both sides of the border.

Both these sports promise to give me oppurtunities of excitement, pump my adrenaline to new heights, and provide anxious moments and moments of happiness and sadness (depending on whether the team I support wins or looses ;-) which is precisely why I happen to be such a big sports fan.

However, the catch is that I DO NOT have a television at my palce here. That's a bodyblow to any sports fan and it is to me too. I, however have made some arrangements for myself to keep myself updated on all the sporting action that will be ON. The internet is almost like a saviour to me. Now that the IPL is being broadcast LIVE on youtube, I can catch at least glimpses of the matches (i say 'glimpses' particularly because the youtube broadcast has been anything but good...the picture is hazy and I keep getting 'sorry...techinical error...please try after some time' as frequently as me having hiccups as soon as I have had something spicy). But hey.....something's better than nothing right?! So, I really ain't complaining.

As far as the races of F1 are concerned, ....I have deicided to save up on some 'x' amount of money every month just so that I can go watch the race LIVE in a sports bar in the city. I won't be able to watch every race (there are approximately 2 per month), but will make sure I catch at least one race per month. Sounds good right?! and I am pretty sure I will save that 'x' amount of money coz' everyone knows what a big 'kanjooooz' I am. I may have to sacrifice my weekly subway meals(very very difficult) and 'almost every weekend movie' plan in order to save the money.

I know there are other crazy ('stupid' may sound a better fit) people out there.....who will have done the same things I am doing in order to get something else for them (in my case- watching the races and IPL) and would probably say 'been there - done that' ...

think about the last time you desperately tried to save money to get something you really craved for ....and then probably I will not sound 'crazy' to you...

;0)

peace out!

is back!!

Well....it's been a reeeeealy long time since I have blogged ....that's inspite of the promise I had made to myself that I’d blog at least once a week.
There have been a lot of updates on my side…
knowing that only a select few mortals read my blogs and risk contracting the 'what-the-hell-is-this-shit' disease...I go on and talk about a few things that have changed since the last time I blogged---

One, I have a job now….even though it’s in the ITES sector, I like it!…coz it’s offered me a wealth of information about computer hardware (As I was recruited to trouble shoot hardware problems of our company’s computers) that I was never aware of.
Two- I am having a good time here in Hyderabad,…because of many reasons:
- I am earning now
- have a bunch of good friends here now
- have moved into a bigger and cleaner place
-IPL and F1 2010 seasons have started
-have put on 2 more kgs and thus crossed the landmark 60kgs barrier (that would come up on another blog exclusively).
-and am in very good physical shape (owing to the fact that I have been gorging on good food and gymming since 2 months now)


that about sums up the updates from my side….

I am hoping that I will get back to my blogging more regularly now and start writing some nonsense (like this one) and keep the flow going….

See you in the next blog.!!

Peace !
