For the first time, I fell in love ( not that I haven’t fallen before but this time, I fell for sure)
For the first time, I understood my parents, they are simply the best
For the first time, I went crazy , I mean freaking crazy
For the first time, I was nervous before I wen to their house
For the first time, I wanted to kill someone, almost took the flight to sin city to kill that man but things worked out
For the first time, I felt happy with what I created
For the first time, I wanted to re-live a day
For the first time, I couldn’t wait for the clock to strike eight
For the first time, I wrote a poem for someone special
For the first time, I craved for a happy meal and a black spider man
For the first time, I saw a theatre play
For the first time, I drove a car
For the first time, I felt restless
For the first time, I slept peacefully
For the first time, I lit a candle and planned a dinner
For the first time, I bought a jewelery
For the first time, I searched for a proper house
For the first time, I bought furniture, plates and glasses
For the first time, I went grocery shopping
For the first time, I made a chai (alright malai chai)

 The answer is two simple words. Ladies Night. So every well established pub/disc has this concept where they celebrate one day in a week as Ladies Night. This is the night where ladies are encouraged drink a lot by giving them free alcohol. Whatever they drink, as in any alcohol they drink is on the house. Now that we know what a ladies night is, lets get back to the argument. Yes, girls drink more than guys.

Lets take Hyderabad  for example. Say there are about 25 pubs(I wouldnt know, I am just guessing) and out of these pubs 10 of them have this ladies night concept. Monday through Friday one pub celebrates the “Free Drinks for Girls” festival. That’s the day when you see maximum number of girl groups hanging out together and talking about all the stuff in this world and at what cost ? None whatsofreakingever. !! So on an average, A girl can drink from Monday through Friday alcohol for free. What about guys ? They have to pay for their own drinks. 

So my question is this, why do girls get free alcohol and guys don’t ? Is it the fear that if there is something called Guys Night, the pub would go bankrupt ? or there would be a protest from the society ? 

Thanks to WordPress’s poll function, I have created a poll. I would like everyone who reads this post to cast your vote. Would discuss about the poll in my next post. Till then ….

I am surprised you haven’t cursed yourself for spending so much time on my blog and still reading this post. Well see, that’s like your first lesson. Patience is Virtue.  I don’t expect fee for what I teach or appreciation letters (drop in a comment to get my email address in case you need it). Seriously ! you are still reading it. Wow !! Alright Alright, let me start with today’s class.

What Do I do when there is a Petrol/Oil Strike happening in my city ?

That’s a good question. Like today, I saw this long queue of cars near my place, traffic jams everywhere, auto drivers charging more than their normal rate and things like that.  Lets face it class, we are dependent on Petrol. Unless you are like the follower of Gandhi and still walking to work and stuff you are seriously in trouble if this strike continues for another day or two.  So how would one get to work ? or to a party ? or for a movie ? or just for a party or a movie and really not bothered about reaching work ?

Suggestion #1

Walk. I remember writing  a similar post sometime back when the auto drivers went on strike. But that was for a limited audience of people who take the auto everywhere like I do. But this time, god punished the others as well(take that you car owning people !). Now the audience is broader. Anyway getting back to walking, yes walk to wherever you want to go because it’s healthy.

Let’s say you are going to a party, try going to some place near by so that you don’t have to walk more. There is an advantage of walking to a party, you have little chance of getting caught for drinking and driving. You could like carry your drink on your way back home.

Suggestion #2

Go in groups. I have a new name for this Walk pool. Start like a walking community with your flatmates. This is fun, you won’t feel the pain of walking long distance because even if you fall after long hours of walking, someone will be there to carry you .

Suggestion #3

Have more of house parties. Yes, the audience would be less but you can like tune in to your favorites and dance alone. Yes, your morale would come down, other than that you will be fine.

Suggestion #4

If you are married, this is god given time to impress your spouse. Stuff like, “See I am spending more time with you”, “Who would wanna watch the match when you are there?” should help you not do those boring house chores.

Suggestion #5

This is a long shot. It involves using your brain and lot of studying , but I think its a really good alternative. If you are a non science student, go back to your basics. Study science like chemistry and biology and come up with an alternative energy method thingy(or whatever that name is). If you are a science student and consider yourself good with chemistry and stuff. SHAME ON YOU !!

Well. That’s it for today. I hope you learnt something from this session. I would strongly suggest you take a print out of it and keep a personal copy of your own, because I am sure the wordpress guys won’t allow me to be on their server with the way things are going. Till my next class….

• For starters, I had to go back to Krypton to say Hello to couple of my friends and I simply could not get the wifi signal for my new Reliance Broadband connection out there.
• On my return, I left my previous company and joined a new organization. I had to establish my brotherhood at the new place and form a gang which takes time.
• After my first gang meeting, I had to move my place(again!!) from my old house to my new  house. Setting up the place and checking out my neighbors took time.
• My Mom heard the news of me moving to a new place and she took the next flight and came to see the place. So I had to take her around Hyderabad and stuff.
• Oh then there was this time when I had so much to do at work…OK ! OK ! I pretended but still I pretended a lot that I didn’t find time to hit that New Post button on my wordpress dashboard screen.
• By the time I sat down to write a new post, New Year’s came. After lot of planning and serious discussions on where to party, I narrowed it down to three places. A) Goa B) Ibiza and C) Krypton . I finally decided to go to Coimbatore. You know mom’s food, chilling at home.
• Last but not the least…Oh ! wait, last but the least , I had been a little lazy as well.

So there you go. I know I had been away for sometime now but now that I am back I know that’s not gonna make any difference.

P.S : I am still alive. Been really busy but will come back with more(sensible) posts soon.

• To start with lets take Television. We had just one network – Doordarashan. Remember that time when we had to finish our homework just in time for Ramayana or Vikram aur bedal !  , when the entire family sat in front of the GOD SENT INSTRUMENT to watch Chitrahar or Turning Point ?
• Man I miss the smell of that adhesive which you find at Post Offices. It has the most crappiest look but I really liked the smell of it. Talking about Post Offices, I remember this time when my family gave a feast to this postman because he brought my dad’s passport through registered post.
• All India Radio !! We had this old , big , black box which amazed me from the day I could understand what it really did. I used to sit hours together and tune into all the crazy radio networks.
• Land line. Ah ! the good ol’ Land line. My granddad got his land line 10 years after he applied for it. 10 freaking years !! He was one of  the few people who owned a telephone connection at that time so my house was pretty much a telephone booth at one point of time.
• Cinema – Cinema Hall’s weren’t that easily accessible during that  period. It should either be someones birthday or a family occasion.

There are million other things why I think life then was pretty simple. Early 90′s !! It was so innocent !!

Still wondering what am I talking about ? Or perhaps wondering who the heck is this guy anyway ? Yes, I had been away for a long (long long) time but its not like I don’t want to blog anymore.  Its just that I haven’t had the time or the technology to blog. Lets take a moment and see what I have been upto lately.

• After 4.7 Years of me working with my previous company, I decided to move on. I have joined another company. I will give you a clue. Its a big company. Its part of the BIG FOUR and it is great to work in here.
• My Previous company blocked access to WordPress and Google Reader. Though that was not the reason why I decided to move to another company, that was the primary reason for me to write this post.
• I shifted my place again. Remember the end of the era post ? (Tip : You can search for it using the search box). I shifted again. This time I got a bigger place . It is such a pain at wrong parts of your body to get a good house at Hyderabad these days. And I consider myself really lucky because not only did I find a big house, it is also furnished and the rent is really cheap.
• Because I shifted my place, I still haven’t had the Internet connection setup. The Tata Broadband guys are worth another post. They are crazy when it comes to following the god damn customer service process.
• Finally, it would not be fair on my part if I don’t say the truth. I had been little lazy to write anything here. But I think I am out of that phase now. So you guys are gonna see more of my rant in the coming weeks
