random


=> i think i've lost the patience for reading. there are so many books left unread. i'm no longer a reader.

=> i hate people who keep honking even when they can see there's no way the person ahead can move faster. it's as if they want the horn to clear the road ahead.

=> ever noticed how adding coriander leaves to anything with a curry works miracles to the taste? i've discovered two more magic ingredients for noodles/pasta : cheese and chaat masala.

=> i think i would have made a good cook. but now i won't ever be one.

=> like melvin of as good as it gets, i sometimes try to skip over tile boundaries. i never thought i had OCD. coz i can live with a squalid room. but my cleaning campaigns are very thorough.

=> i read the following comment about drangonball Z evolution somewhere : This is the story about goku's newest evil enemy - Hollywood. The evil hollywood butchers, rapes and murders him. now i know this for a fact.

=> dragonball Z and two and a half men are the only two series i've watched, i think.

=> i've been eating chicken twice a day for almost two months now. the path to obesity isn't as tough as many people would think.

=> i really couldn't make out what the hullabaloo for kaminey was about. to me it was just the two footballs - guddu and charlie - being passed around a bunch of thugs with the director trying to weave the semblance of a story between shots.

=> watchmen is one of those rare movies wherein the good guy dies in the end and the bad guy lives on and yet you feel there couldn't have been a better end. personally though, i feel, the movie would have been much better if all of them had some real superpowers. not just dr manhattan.

=> the gandhi parivar is the thing that separates BJP and Congress today. i don't know if it's a good/bad thing but having an unquestionable authority actually works wonders sometimes. because people are not good at being guided by ideals. they need
physical things. no wonder why almost all religions of the world who've denounced idol worship still have ended up giving their followers something they can bow their heads to. it might be a religious book, a photo of a religious place or a number of other things.

=> ganesha is my favorite god.

=> the sri lankan army has offered military training to pakistani soldiers. the course will impart their learnings in countering insurgency. they say even india can avail of the offer. i think india will benefit tremendously from this training. but only the day it becomes an island and its terrorists have no outside support and the sea escape routes are manned by a bigger, more resourceful nation.

=> there's a song in what's your rashee - jao na. when i heard it the first time, i interpreted it as 'why don't you go?' . but the rest of the song didn't click into place. on the second run, i realized that he meant 'don't go'

=> i wish xkcd came out everyday!
