Life As I Know It

It is true that the Beatles sang, “All we need is love”, BUT in India the theme for what makes the world spin can be summed in one line, “All we need is a penis”. Here is why I think that – From the time you are born, the first thing people check is to see if you have an appendage between your legs. If you don’t, you easily qualify for the game – “Quest for a Penis”. Hereon onwards you have to go looking for one. The people around you will further emphasize the superiority of the Penis by telling you that EVERYTHING you do on this planet will be irrelevant unless you succeed in your quest for the Penis. BUT there is a catch, you can’t just get any Penis, you have to adhere to the laws of religion, caste, sub caste (if any) ooooh and dare you not forget-Gotra. If the penis you find doesn’t pass the above test, that Penis is useless. BUT if you find...

With that I bid bubye to my facebook account. I have been on facebook since 2006-07. I think it is the 7 year itch that finally sealed the break-up. I thought I’d miss NOT being on facebook but I don’t miss it one bit. Instead I am going about my life as always but more peacefully.

I joined the GYM! Yes, now like plenty of other people I’m a gym goer. I only recently started and am very enthusiastic about it. Everyone around me is not quiet sure how long my enthusiasm will last. Well that we’ll have to wait and see both you and I. As I am not sure about it myself. But I am on a high of just having started something new and enjoying it. Though My body and mind don’t seem to be on the same page about the whole Gyming experience. While my mind is buzzing with excitement my body is cringing at the very sight of weights. My entire right side hurts so much. Phew. I wish the pain would subside but weirdly only my right side (neck + back + arm) hurts like someone tried to dislodge the arm very unsuccessfully. I have been told that the pain is normal and will soon be gone. Soon is not soon enough! They play remixed versions of the latest songs that I haven’t ever heard and only did after going there. I feel old when I am not aware of the latest music, though I am mo...
