VH1

I love this VH1 channel. They play some really good stuff. Their Classic programme is really good. And their other programmes like the fabulous life makes a good viewing esp. for gossip hungry ppl like me ;).

I saw some real good videos this weekend they were playing. The Killers song Mr. Brightside is brilliant. It somehow feels like pure good ol' rock and roll. And the Ben Affleck look-alike lead singer has the "it" factor. I just love the song.

I saw this video by this group called the Magic Numbers called foerever lost. It is an animated video. Really good music. Very pleasant kindda like Fleetwood Mac.

The new UB40 song is also really cool. Its called Reasons. Its obviously reggae stuff but has Punjabi beats in the middle. Its sounds fresh and good. I dont think its been done before- reggae and bhangra.

P.S:I still can't get over the Zeher song . I have to listen to everyday. I never thought I would like a remixed song so much.

The offset theory

Theorem : Women can afford to have larger paunches than men before it getting noticed.

Proof : Women get this undue advantage because of their breasts which gives them a certain "offset". Due to this offset, you will not notice a woman's paunch as long as, it is not protruding out more than her breasts. Thus, women can have larger paunches than men before they get noticed.

Hence, proved.

Corollary 1: Women with bigger breasts can afford to have bigger paunches.

Corollary 2: Women with smaller breasts .... tough luck.

Personal Note : Unfair.

Bekaari ki samasya

Its going to be a year this month end since I started "working". Actually, if you ask me personally, I dont what the fuck I'm doing here. I've been pretty much idling since my training ended in October. I dont know if I started on the wrong foot, but I don't see myself doing this for the rest of my life(Obviously, no one wants to sit idle for the rest of their lives). But now that I have been sitting jobless for so long... I hate my job all the more and it sometimes scares me that I may not be able to work anymore with the kind of zeal I once enjoyed or fulfil my potential (atleast I think I have some).

I want to do something else with my life. I think I know what I want to do. I have started working towards it... but will it actually happen??? will I like it when I get there??? only time will tell. I guess its worth the shot.

On the other hand, the things that I have gained from this last year are mostly in terms of the people I've gotten to know. I've made some great friends. Met people from different backgrounds, different problems and when they share their problems and anxieties with me, it makes me look at life differently. I guess this has given me a broader perspective to life and I think has made me a better person. I can only hope for the best for them.

I saw God this Sunday

What makes sportsmen Gods?? There are great sportsmen and there are champions and then there are the Gods .... who pretty much every kid, who ran around in the park, aspires to be.

Anyone who saw Roger Federer's demolition of Andy Roddick this Sunday, will probably have a better idea of what I am trying to say. According to me, what makes sportsmen Gods is the fact that they can make look their sport look easy and their opponents a joke. I mean you look at Federer play and he makes tennis look so easy, you then pick up a racquet; for starters, try to put your serve in the other side of the court, only to realise how very difficult it is. You watch Ronaldinho curve the ball in to the back of the net ( The one against Chelsea at Stamford bridge in this years Champions league quarters is one of my all time favourites) and you try to mimic him and after hours of failure, you would be grateful to God if you could even put the ball at the back of the net, let alone curving the ball. Or for that matter try a Sachin six ( like the one he hit against Pak in the world cup'03).

Everyone loves competition and a good exciting game, but then someone like Federer comes along, makes minced meat of his opponents in no time but you still want to watch him inspite of the match being lop sided just because of his grace and his command over the game. I mean when these guys get on the field they capture your imagination, genuinely make you happy when you watch them play and you wouldn't mind skipping a lunch to pay for your ticket to watch these guys.

Shits man!!!!

Why is that the act of excretion (or "taking a dump" as it is more affectionately called) so repulsive?

For me the act of excretion is the single largest failure of evolution. The whole act is so disgusting ... taking off your pants, the stench, the loos, and all the other paraphernalia. I mean why couldn't all the metabolic wastes in your body just vapourise to emit a fragrance so as to attract one's mate.

The words attached to "the act" are not spared either... crap, shit, piss, etc.,etc. I mean whats wrong with "pee" its such a sweet sounding word but its usage rather detestable.

Why couldn't we just shed our skin once in 6 months in order to "excrete". That would be cool wouldn't it??!!! Imagine a new skin twice every year. That would surely turn heads if you announced in a crowded room "I'm going to excrete"!!!!!!!!!
