  • Genetics, i say

    A long time ago, my mouth used to be a regular venue for the cola wars, until the time i realised that the venue’s infrastructure was suffering a lot of collateral damage in the bargain.. and since then a search for a good non corrosive drink was in full swing.. and since i really didnt like the tropics and nothing else was real enough, a lot of stuff that got released in the market, also found a place in my diet, but nothing took a permanent place..that was until the time i saw the ad and decided to try ‘a cool drink to hang out with’ and liked it better that any i had tried till then… but, of course the campaign stopped in a while, and therefore the distribution suffered and i only managed to get a few and that too, once in a while…
    and so, a few weeks back, since my dad and sis were visiting, i decided to stock the fridge with one of the more than easy available family pack of colas.. since it remained in an unopened state even by the end of the visit, i was prompted to ask the reason for it.. my sis let us know that the cool drink to hang out with had also become a favourite with my dad… and though the product itself can take some credit, i believe i can safely say that the genes also had their hand to play in placing it in both our favourites’ folder 🙂
    i like denim too, but of course, some genes dont get passed on 😉

    until next time, what exactly does gene hackman do? 🙂

  • Despair

    is perhaps when life slips by playing its part
    and you slip by without playing yours..

    until next time, no time to spare

  • A dirty 55

    She was arguably beautiful, but inarguably sexy, and difficult. She had many suitors. Just before announcing her decision, she said ‘I know it’s hard for the others, but I’ve decided”
    A suitor, perhaps to console himself, whispered, “Actually, whoever gets her is sure to have a hard time”
    Another replied, looking down, “Yeah, lucky bugger”
    until next time, hard to get?

  • Walk of Life

    What perhaps distinguishes our species from others is the straight backed walk we have… the only things that come close are the other primates.. even from a human growth point of view, parents are always waiting for the baby to stop ‘toddling’ and walk…
    In today’s cubicle to couch existence, there is very little walking we do.. no, moving between cubicles or climbing stairs is not the kind of walk i am talking of… a couple of kilometres of walk was more the kind i had in mind…i have always liked walking, but usually never find the time.. yup, my natural laziness does its bit too :).. and so when i do get the chance, and find that i had a lil time to spare, i go ahead.. and walk..
    almost a year back, when we shifted house, i had a chance… its amazing how you can ride along the same roads for 3 years, and still notice things only when you walk… the little bylanes, small shops, and most importantly people.. almost at the end of the walk, i saw the flyover… another symbol of bangalore’s development and human progress in general… it had a sign that said a lot about our existence – no walking on the flyover..
    last week, when i went to kerala, i wanted to take another walk, in time and by foot, through the roads of the city i grew up in… i could do it only in part, and therefore didnt get to see how much it had changed… maybe its good in a way, i wouldnt have wanted to see how much i had changed..
    until next time, keep walking
