Electoral Views of a Techie

I dont know much about B. S. Yeddyurappa. All i know is that he is a BJP state leader, going to lead a state for 4 years. I don’t know much about the Opposition too. I heard news that the Opposition JDS, double crossed him during their coalition tenure that ruled the state before the election.

I’ve been here in Techville for almost of my good age. I commute for almost 3 hours a day just to reach office and back home. I spent my day time in front of a monitor, working for some unknown foreigner. I call it the Modern Colonization. But who cares. The government says that the IT industry is bringing in huge foreign money.

I stay away from my family for most of the year. I earn 10 times compared to what my father earns. Still his savings are 100 times mine. I’m as ignorant about whats happening in this foreign state as i’m about the things happening in my family. Why? All i can do, if i ever manage to get back home after work, is to eat and sleep. Before anyone else wakes up in the morning i’m up and ready to catch the bus to office, which has been timed to avoid the peak traffic on the road. But still manages to be in the midst of traffic everyday.

So Mr. B. S. Yeddyurappa or rather Yeddy or BSY, as you should be hence forth called as reported by the morning-gossip paper, i have a request.

Your state is now on the map, not because its the Garden City (leave alone the gardens, there are no more trees left here), its because of young people like us. We put Techville a.k. Bangalore a.k.a Bengaluru (do u have any new names in store???) on the map. But what did the state give us?

We are mistreated by the Auto Army. Despite the hike in fares they still ask for a fortune. Mugged by locals. The new international Airport is a good 5hrs journey (approx the same time it takes for me to reach Coorg from where i stay). Petrol/Diesel prices are the highest in the country. Traffic is a mess.

I don’t expect you to make a difference to all these. But i expect a fair deal. I spent my youth and energy away from home, staying at a place that i thought i could call home. As a kid i was taught that all of India as a nation is one. I find prejudice against people here. I feel like i’m far from home.

I’m afraid to travel by bus or car as i don’t know when an accident can happen and the mob to burn the vehicle i’m traveling at.The Police sometimes only speak to you in their native language, if they know that you’re from out of town.

This is where i earn my daily bread and this is where i live. So is it too much for me to ask for better way for things. I add to the local diversity that is sometimes herald by the media. Why cant i just say Our State and not just Your State?

All said and all promises given, at the time of next election we shouldn’t be asking Yelli-ddyurappa???

How Do I Live Without You

This is one of my fav songs … all time fav
Leann Rimes – How Do I Live Without You

How do I,
Get through the night without you?
If I had to live without you,
What kind of life would that be?
Oh, I
I need you in my arms, need you to hold,
You’re my world, my heart, my soul,
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything good in my life,

And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

Without you,
There’d be no sun in my sky,
There would be no love in my life,
There’d be no world left for me.
And I,
Baby I don’t know what I would do,
I’d be lost if I lost you,
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything real in my life,

And tell me now,
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

Please tell me baby,
How do I go on?

If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything,
I need you with me,
Baby don’t you know that you’re everything,
Real in my life?

And tell me now,
How do I live without you,
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

How do I live without you?

How do I live without you baby?

2 most annoying problems

as i have mentioned earlier, telling just about success is not fair, i should also be telling about the failures. hence telling about whats happening good in my life alone is alos not fair, i have to tell the dark side too…

There is mainly two problems facing me now… the last one just got added a day before.

Its said that

“the hardest thing to do is not to leave the one you love, but to see the one you love living with someone”

people wont realize this, unless they are put through it. So when it came to a point with this girl, i told her no. She never understands. Blame me for that and what does she do, verbal assault. I cant just walk out and i just cant tell her to just f***, coz that makes no difference between me and the rest of the guys. but she keeps saying that i’m no different.

the second is, when a very casual playful conversation, turned against me. the guy was having a real bad day. he never hinted about it. only when couple of mails was send around, i realized the mistake. but the damage was done. GOD, hell with stupid morons. i had apologized for my erratic behavior, but what use, i keep getting threatening messages. This one I’m quite interested in dealing with, coz i want to see how far he is going to go.

thanks to my best budz, i’m not the person i used to be… else also i wud have done nothing.. just shrug this off… hey life comes with many attractive gifts.. just sit back and enjoy the show…coz

“… i die with no regrets, with happiness and no tears …”

A Promise…

I was having this equation

1+a=b-c

i left it like that, and didnt bother to solve it. It turned out that what ever value c took, a and b promised to keep the equation balanced.

Things went on quite very well for a long time. Then there was an expected change in the behavious of c. a and b tried to make the equation balanced. a failed many a times, but b sorted that out.

c was on b‘s side and b promised to keep the equation safe.
promises are meant to be broken“, b was unable to do so, promises were broken.

So i’m left with an unbalanced equation, with just a by my side…
