Mela mein bichdey huey … BarCamp mein miley …
Saunday morning .. yaawwwnnnnnn!!!! .. But its the day of Barcamp… no sleep… So i dragged my ass out of bed.
Its the day of CAT exams and by the time i woke up, at around 8am all my roommates had in fact left for the test. I have to say that i was one of the first persons to reach.
After a quick lunch with Abhishek Thakkar , who is having this talk on SMS Gupshup, the SMS way of twittering, i’m back in front of the discussion boards.
What is with the WiFi???- It keeps failing at times, on systems for no reason at all and then comes up all by itself.
Now that people are finally arriving and rooms are getting booked up, i see energy again in the atmosphere.
Bloggers decided to have discussion at D4 – 11am. It turned out that Sky was already there. She was trying to set the time zone and the WiFi connection on her laptop. Then people started dropping in thinking its some discussion and Vola!!! everyone is giving a self intro.
Then Nitya of Muziboo, complained that generally indian bloggers are reluctant and unwilling to help someone. She quoted her own experience as an example. 
They started the Muziboo and she personally approached bloggers and asked them to do a review on the site and its features. But unfortunately of the 100+ people that she asked only 2 did it for her. This eventually became a hot topic and there indeed some discussion on that. People started dropping by with the noise level that we created. So finally everyone was sorry for the state of affairs and promised to help each other, starting with Muziboo.
Before we knew it was Lunch time and off we go to hog like pigs …
Life hangs in a balance for 90 minutes, 5 days a week. The commute to and from office!!! Reckless drivers and slow moving traffic. I almost loose my temper when the driver in front applies brakes. But what could be done. Nothing! The ongoing road constructions are just adding on to the problems.
What does it take people to be a little more responsible? In fact NOTHING! But we just precariously chose not to. I tried being a responsible driver, indicators while changing lanes, right speed, obeying traffic rules – till i reached the point where i almost got run over by a ‘i-dont-care-how-i-drive’ truck driver.
The policy of – ‘if you cant beat the problem, be with the problem’ – really works to your benefit here. Last day Sandil a.k.a 2S comes up with the bright idea that Mutineer’s shouldn’t break any traffic rules. Apparently he was really pissed, coz a biker hit is rear-view mirror and bent it in such a way so that the next car driver can groom himself. It seems like ‘SHE’ (his car), looks like JLo without an ear
But what could be the real solution. After much thinking i think i invented a purple cow -
Step 1 : Get the best of the speeding bikers and make them part-time traffic chasers. They go in pairs. Any one breaking the law- hunt them down and fine them.
Step 2 : The existing traffic police should take more bribes. If the fine for jumping the red signal is Rs. 200, then he should demand at least 150, so that he gets a good hand and the next time the driver will remember. Have some self-esteem dear cops.
Step 3 : Ask people to send in pics/videos of vehicles violating traffic rules. Run a promo – “Report more; Get paid half the sum of the violations”. This can help the unemployed youths too.
Step 4 : Get the local Bhai‘s help to handle the traffic at their locality. (may be not – this might spiral out of control)
Please let me make some money; Kindly don’t follow traffic rules.
(The last time i counted – i had more than 100 traffic violations in one single day – that too just to survive. That included – Overtaking from the left side, speeding, jumping traffic lights…)
Remember : In the name of Ram???
The proposed ship route over the Pak Straight between India and Sri Lanka has stirred up quite and uproar. While the government plans at reduced cost and time in traversing all long the Sri Lankan cost to reach the Bay of Bengal ports, we have the religious fanatics spear-headed by BJP, opposing it.
Now every one seems to be in a heated debate over what should be done. People are arguing whether Ram exited or not? We are deliberately owing our subordination as mere pawn in the hands of reckless politicos and in the war of Religious Rascals.
The world has seen no good when such differences are allowed to propagate. I havent understood why they hell do they have to debate over Ram’s existence? Why dont they see the teachings that he has put forward? Ram is epitomized as the perfect man, true to his word and principles and only listed in doing good and helping others.
The old has to give way for the new, whether it be the land owned by you, me or even George Bush. Then why the hell debate on it and cause interruptions in parliament. We already wasted crores of money in the form of parliament interruptions than the money ever required to feed every poor in India.
While we still debate why a bull shitting bull must die or should we waste crores, just to preserve some thing that’s still being speculated and debated, to be made by GOD.
Ok thats it, i better head home as Bangalore is now flooded, flooding and will be flooded with the heavy down pour. All the roads are practically closed. I don’t see a solution for that any time soon. May be its the GOD’s pee that is coming down, why should we drain it anyway. Let it flood the area, spread cholera, malaria … Oh No … It started raining again and i forgot to get my kayak !!! …
