The past couple of weeks have been crazy. I finished the Dynamometer website, and got paid for it :)
Currently I'm inundated with work. I'm trying to get this website on Red Carpets to list on google. Along with that I got over 20 articles to write within the next two weeks, so you can see that I got my hands full for now. With the work and everything, I'm working on a bit of a personal search engine optimization experiment myself. I've put up a Search engine optimization news Blog and I'm trying to get people to visit it. It's for the long run really and I hope I can give it as much as time as it deserves.
Just last week, I had to get Windows re-installed on my PC. It was working just fine when suddenly one morning I tried booting this machine and I got the error "Windows write protection error in Drive C:". I almost had a heart attack at that point. I had way to much valuable information on this PC to lose everything. It made me realise how attached to out PC and to our Data we've really become, it seemed so futile grieving over this dumb box. I promised myself that I'm going to get a CD writer and back up all my data cos with this screwed up hard disk, the next crash is probably just around the corner. Knowing me, I'll probably put that off for a while, but I'm hoping I get around to it sooner than I usually would.
Well, these are yucky rainy days here, can hardly go for a walk these days so it gets depressing on some days. Anyways, got work to keep me busy so I'm glad about that!
Is it me just me or do far too many people rate "Shawshank Redemption" as their all time favorite movie? Ofcourse if I were asked my fav all time movie, I'd probably end up saying the same thing!
I hate the rains. Period. Mumbai is not a city where you can actually "enjoy" the rains, the rains do not make this a pretty place, travel is a bitch when it's pouring and there's water clogging everywhere you look cos the drains are always overflowing. Chances are if you eat outisde in this season you'll end up with Hepatitis or Cholera or something awful you could do without. I seriously never understood what people meant when they said the monsoons are "romantic"!! Well, some people have really skewed concepts of romance then, almost perverse in a way *brrr*
So why am I ranting about the monsoons in mumbai and why I hate them so much? Well, just happens the other day I leave home with my dad we get into the car and head for Bandra and when we reach Santacrus we realise what a big fucking mistake we just made. The water levels on the main road were like 2 feet high and it started entering the car. Yes, yucky, murky, dirty, disease filled water was filling up the car, at times like that ur brain blanks out all the yuckiness. Anyways, it wasn't long before the car stopped and I had to step out in the fucking rains with 2 feet deep water and actually push the car to make it start up again.
Well, I did push for a good 40 meters, I'll be honest, I've never pushed this car (It's an esteem) and I didn't think I could ever push it far, alone, and with the resistance from the water it should've been way harder. But when I started pushing, I discovered this dormant strength in me and I pushed it damn well, there were these onlooking fuckers who didn't offer to help one bit. I kinda expected that, but atleast don't shout and jeer at me when I'm in such a miserable position. Lesson learnt : People will laugh at you when you are in a miserable position. Anyways, so I push alone, as soon as we're outta the water the car starts and I get in all wet and miserable. Umm..not too miserable actually, I was proud of what I had just acheived :)
Maybe thats what we should start calling our cricket team from now on. I stopped short of calling them the "Losers in blue" cos they will win a few matches every now and then, they'll reach the finals of a tournament, build your hopes up and then wham!!! We'll play like little schoolboys and lose every frigging final we play. Our very own super duper champion, god like status, talent beyond belief..the great master Sachin tendulkar played like a lost schoolboy yesterday. I sued to believe he was the best batsmen in the world for a while but he's clearly been overtaken by Hayden and Dravid and a whole bunch of other chaps. Sorry Sach, but maybe it's time you became a full time bowler? Maybe you can help us win a few matches that way cos sure as hell you're nopt winning us any with the bat!
Kumara Sangakkara is a prick
..and that is the truth! I first heard Kumara Sangakkara sledge against the South Africans a couple of years ago, I actually thought this was pretty cool, here we have a fellow south asian, a fellow brown skinned cricketer giving it back strong and skillfully to the real bastards of International cricket, the south africans, I was proud of this guy for a while. I knew no Indian would ever risk sledging, or have th calibre of english to sledge but here was Sangakkara making us all proud.
Now yesterday, in the final against India, SL are on top, they have the Indians on the mat, I could swear I saw puddles of piss near the feet of some of our batsmen...such was the situation our team was in and what does the great Sangakkara of Sri Lanka decide to do? He thinks this looks to be a great time to rub into these Indians, he starts sledging every batsmen starting from Yuvraj Singh downwards. Now, I'm not saying that if Sangakkara hadn't sledged these bozos would've played any better, oh no, we'd have played the same way no matter what, but the very fact that this little pisshead Kumara Sangakkara has the audacity to sledge the Indians when there was absolutely no need to do so was just totally uncool and not called for.
Now Sangakkara think's like he's Gods gift to cricket, maybe Sri Lankan cricket, he's built up a bit of a reputation of being a fesity cricketer with a big fucking mouth. Why he would choose to unleash this bout of sledging on the Indians is beyond me! I think he's just jealous of Indian cricketers who're more talented, better paid, better looking, and they get to date bollywood chicks. Sangakkara's just pissed he's gonna remain poor and play with those Sri Lankan monkeys for years to come. Too bad Sanga, too fucking bad.
