Random Thoughts..
Its close to 2 a.m and here I am with so much work to do, yet doing nothing but writing a blog! My work is going haywire, I missed an important call today. I have to prepare to make up during another at 8 a.m tomorrow. Im looking at a modest target of 7 a.m so that Ill have atleast an hour for the 8 a.m call, I need to prepare cos I always goof up. But its already late and I doubt I'll make it. Nothing seems to be going my way!!
Now onto the subject of random thoughts- I was reminded of a famous tag line "The future is bright, the future is Orange" and my personal tag line now reads, "the future is blank, the future is black"
I feel like I've lost my mojo, I thought maybe if I re-started my excercise regime.. might be able to find it again. So I started that off- cos im paying a good price each month and atleast for that I decided to go, then I shaved and went for a haircut(after a long time.. ) It did some good, cos atleast I dint feel like a beggar, but im still searching...
There was a Nike ad campaign before the Copa America in 1999, it showed a football stadium on fire, but the football players still playing on.. and the ad ends with a line.. "The game must go on.. Nike.. Jus' Do It". So I tell myself "My future beckons.. so the game must go on!".
During a conference once, each one sitting in the room was asked what car they would like to own, most people responded with BMW, some with Acura and I responded saying an 'Audi', a voice from behind me asked me "A4?", the only model I was familiar with was the A4, cos I remember Ravi Shastri and Aravinda De Silva winning A4's for the Man of the Series awards at the world series and world cup respectively, so I said "A4" :).
At the same conference we were also asked what our favourite cuisine was, I said Afgan! cos I thought tandoori stuff is Afgan! I hope I am right!
Back in college days there were a number of clubs, for the first three years the most prominent of them was Dramatics, I always used to wonder how they come up with the ideas they ended up with cos none of the members seemed really creative.
Sometimes I look around to find a lot of ACDC's (Already Confused De-C) this is an abbr I coined so I hold the copyright! ACDC's are basically desi people with thick Indian accents, mostly middle aged or atleast nearing their 30's, who so badly want to be american and in the process they end up looking very cheap! They try hard to fake the accent and the lingo! Kyon? insecurity I guess! I dont intend to offend anyone, so in conclusion dont be fake!
I also got a request from a friend to fill up a loong 'get to know me' tag, so i thought Ill fill up what little I can, come back and do the rest later cos Im a little tired now.. Ill be back with more random thoughts..
