I’m really open minded!

Checked this out in 10 daily things and I took the test.
You Are 80% Open Minded |
![]() You are so open minded that your brain may have fallen out! Well, not really. But you may be confused on where you stand. You don’t have a judgemental bone in your body, and you’re very accepting. You enjoy the best of every life philosophy, even if you sometimes contradict yourself. |
Looks like I’m very open minded. Good and at the same time causes some trouble too.
October 21st 2007 – A Day with few surprises
by Karthik on Oct.22, 2007, under Personal
8:20 AM – The door bell rings. and a guy asked for 10 bucks and said he will clean our bikes for it. Said he is doing this part time to pay his fees.
8:21 AM – I get a bucket of water and by then the guy is gone.
8:23 AM – I search for my mobile and its missing.
8:25 AM – Nafisa walks back from shop and finds that guy going with 3 other guys on bikes.
Result – The mobile is stolen and the guy escaped. 1st surprise!
Later that morning I try to figure out a way to trace the mobile, with my efforts in vain, we start off to MG road for shopping. It lasted till evening.
4:40 PM – We came back home and got down form auto.
4:50 PM – Anwin discovers that his $20 Zippo lighter is missing and its lost in the auto rickshaw that we came in.
2nd surprise!!
I go to the police station, and trying to lodge a complaint. A theft complaint. The police is reluctant to lodge an FIR. Told me that I have to come to court and follow it up properly. I agree, but still they prefer giving me a report but not FIR.
About…
5:30 PM – I call Airtel to confirm if they can track my mobile if I provide my mobile identification number. Earlier that morning a guy said he can if I send them a copy of FIR with IMEI number of mobile. Later they say they can’t do a jack to trace the mobile.
Surprise No. 3!!!
Well, now I have no way out. Looks like there is no way to track down that bastard. Aahhh….
So I just get the report form them and come back home. I start calling different house owners to find a house while Anwin and Nafisa were out searching for a tailor.
6:40 PM – Anwin calls me and tells my bikes petrol tank is dry and they are no where near a petrol bunk. The thing is I rode the bike in main and suddenly we discover that there is no more fuel to move. So now the bikes’ fuel indicator is gone.
Surprise no. 4!!!!
And then the day seemed little better with no significant activity after that. Should I call it quite a bad day???
I’ve become a Father.
by Karthik on Oct.10, 2007, under Personal
OK, One of my close co-worker has become a father last week and he happily announced it to all of us immediately, by calling the office. Everybody congratulated him and all the usual stuff. But I have no mind to congratulate. I find no reason to be happy.
One more soul in the world that’s going to suffer… One more life in jeopardy… One more to increase the world population and consume his/her part of resource. OH… MY… GOD!!!!!!
It certainly looks awkward when every one greets him (who came to office later) for becoming a father and I alone sit at my place with no feeling for it. I did feel awkward, but who cares. I stand by my thought. If you really want a child, please…. please… adopt a child and teach him good culture. Give them orphans the life they deserve. That way the world population is not increased. A new soul is not brought into this world to go through all the sufferings that you had to. One more child gets support and you will be happy that you have become a father. Doesn’t that sound awesome? I don’t know… many of my friends will acknowledge this but will they follow it? – I don’t know. I can only hope. But I’m talking so much about this today… Will I stick to it? – Well, this I can answer. No one can predict future, but a strong will and ambition can always let you pursue what you want. That, future cannot stop. So, hoping that my will, will not let me down, I will follow this. I’d like to put it this way so that people don’t come up with statements “We’ll see you after 5 years”.
Some good pictures

Was going through some beautiful pictures today in CatchyColours, Awesome Pictures and some on the Net. Couldn’t resist posting atleast 2 of’em.
To get a house at that hill top should be one of the awesomest things in the world.
So long 404…
by Karthik on Sep.10, 2007, under Personal
For a long time now, you all know that I live at the 404. Now, we all are moving away. Arun got married and left the house last year. Mahesh moved to live with his parents. Ram Kumar got married and moved away this year. Madhu settled in Chennai only becoming a rare visitor. That left only Anwin, Naveen, Anoop and me.
And another person who is in Chennai and when ever we accidentally call when we were tripping and claims that he is at the Bangalore airport and wouldn’t mind getting picked! By that I mean
leaving the booked flight and taking the one next morning
– The Liver Slayer. We also call him Renie.
Too many memories in that house I should say. I’m just listing 5 of the best trips we had there at 404 in no particular order.
1) We played a drinking game long ago when Arun, Madhu and everyone was with us. And turned out that Sanjeeb was the one getting totally drunk. Turns to Anwin and Arun and tells “Anwin, Arun, you both are not wearing T-Shirts…. you are Gay!!!!”
2) Yet another day… there goes a bet. Arun Challenged me if I can drink as much as he can. You know What I would have said… I accepted it and we both finished little more than 1 full Old monk. Then what happened? I puked for the 1st time in my life because of over booze. I threw up like at least 6 or 7 times. I don’t remember anything after that.
3) Home made videos – As usual Renie was here and we all decided to watch a movie. We watched the Ghost Rider. Came home and wondering about what we can do next. Renie comes up with the idea of making a home made movie. Cut. Next scene, we are making a movie. Anoop, Renie, Anwin, Naveen and I were making the movie. Just for the record, Renie was a prostitute. hehehe… That movie never was released. Renie its still pending…
4) The Iron maiden night – This was another awesome party. Invited many people home and bought like about 4 Full old monks and vodkas and a 10 meter manner. We painted a 10 meter banner and 2 small banners for the Maiden’s Matter of life and death concert. That was one hell of a night.
5) The Ring road ride – Yet again, Renie was here on his car. We were already drunk before renie came in and planned to go for a ride in the ring road after we were already half stoned. Still we go and get 2 Monks and some coke and start the ride. After about 3 hours we were at the same place where we started. But trust me that was one awesome trip.
So many of these trips and not to forget the number of Circles we would have had on the terrace, Kitchen and Living room. And the circle still continues…
Hope all of this will still continue in the new place that we are going and keep us insane… or… I’d say Psyched for some more time.
