Haiku

The Ecomantra company conducted an experimental workshop on Haiku, a kind of Japanese Poetry that has only 3 lines and you can write only what you see and not anything imaginary. No punctutation and capitalization is required. I had a Haiku moment today...this is what I came up with.

in unnerving silence
a forgotten well-

Gods?

I clicked this picture while in Pune around New Years. It makes me think of all the new problems, possibilities and promises that this new year is sure to bring. This splendor of nature is probably the closest thing that anyone will get to to proving the existence of a creator.
Its awesomeness was just spellbinding, it definitely deserved a place here. =)

Globalization

Something I saw yesterday. CLASSIC! It was stitched onto the collar of a rickshaw driver. Obvious as it is, patriotism here is for the wrong country. Chuckle.

Grease Monkey

My Dad says that before you learn how to drive a car, you have to learn how to change a tyre.

So i can now officially change a tyre on my own! Feel like Wonderwoman.

New Development

I had some visitors outside my bedroom window this week. I'm deathly afraid of anything that flies or scuttles, actually anything that can be classifies as a 'creepy crawly' so I'm going to try and get this thing off. More details about the screaming and yelling soon!

Hello, how may I help you? -NOT!

So, this is probably the 1000000th post about the futility of call centres, but here's the 1000001th one. CALL CENTRES are POINTLESS. Vodafone call centres to be exact. What part of 'we will get back to you in 72 hours' do they not understand? Perhaps they have been having technical difficulties for over a month now. Or they could be having issues with their mass messaging. Or they could be just plain LAZY. The third one being more probable. They tried to talk me out of changing my phone package and I took the one they offered because it actually made more sense. And they didn't do what they said they would. So I hauled myself and all the documentation required to the store to change my plan. I am proud to say I DID NOT LEAVE until i got what I wanted. Definitely passed assertiveness, I was aggressive as hell and got my point across. Needless to say, I now have free text messaging for a month!

Pedal to the Metal baby!

I still have a learner's license but my Dad let my drive the car on the freeway yesterday! And I touched a 100 kms/hour! Thats so fast that if you stick your head out of the window and hang your tongue out, it'll dry to crisp within seconds!! Was an exhilarating experience...I can't wait until I get my permanent license! There was obviously a lot of backseat driving, but it was obviously with the right interests at heart. Still, opening the doors at the end of my drive and proclaiming to the world that 'you were alive!' didn't really boost my self confidence. Your lack of confidence in me is appalling!

Thanks Dad...it was fun!

By the end of the drive, Macdonald's beckoned me, like a star in the sky. =)
