Its been quite some time since I posted anything. So today I was just going through some of my old posts. I’m sure I should have been “really high” or “stoned” when I wrote this. Just check this post. What the f*** was I thinkin??? A song in Glenn Medeiros’ tune…. immortal love…. What the hell man? Was it really me??? What was I thinking??

Here guys, an amazing song from Pulamai pithan. 1st post of this year. These words dont fail in proving the beauty of the language.

Today, 3 people till now have come and asked me what are my new year vows. I’ve never had any new year resolutions till date. I never wanted to, but these are the ones that I can think of having if I have to.

1. Will be more efficient and manage natural resources.
2. Will stop accepting things as it is and start contradicting when required.
3. Will bring down my tolerance level and oppose things that are really ill-mannered or offensive, even if it’s as simple as talking mouthful or slurping a cup of coffee.
4. Will be less forgiving when people make mistakes for the second or third time.
5. Will not compromise anymore on things that could stop the results that I need.
6. Will stand by my words when I know I’m right and will not give up just to avoid arguments.
7. Will complete reading a book when I start one.
8. Will not forget even once when I know a particular favor/help affects some one else, even if its as simple as bringing a bike key.
9. Will go out of this country for a vacation.
10. Will follow all of the above.

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.

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???
