Prepare to defy logic and embrace nonsense..!

Traveling in Mumbai is an art .. err.. i think its a science .People who think its an art just sit back and admire the maddening crowd getting in and out of the trains and buses... while those who think its a science.. do what science endorses.. experiment .! There might have been around 1,85,678 documented past experiences of people's travails in local trains.. but i would want to focus on the lesser of the two evils.. the BEAST .. oh sorry, BEST buses. Although i would suggest that, if you are having a perfectly fine day and just for the heck of it want to experiment with how unforgiving life can be.. then just try getting into a Churchgate-Virar Fast local at DADAR at 5.56 pm. on a weekday . It will be enough pain,suffering and inspiration to write a book on the theme " My last few hours.. and how i was reborn ". Coming back to the task i set upon doing.. the journey in BEST buses.. hmm, well first things first. I have to admire the whole system and network of

Just when you thought i disappeared from the face of the most populous city of the second most populous country of the most populated planet... here i am.. back to college after a 2 month ' weight loss ' program called summer internship! ( 4hrs of traveling in the sweltering heat and you d agree with me) Being one of the lucky ones to have been to 5 of the 6 metros (Somehow never got a chance to go to BANDHladesh ... Kolkata for the uninitiated) i thought it would be fun to compare the road manners across the ones ive have lived in sufficiently and have had the privilege to experience : Hyderabad, Bengalooru and Mumbai . Congestion on roads is a common thread that connects all these cities.. but all the misery is to end soon .. what with the Bengalooru,Hyderabad and Mumbai metros coming up within no time.. just another 11-13 yrs ! But you never know.. the mumbai metro with a super charged Anil Ambani could be completed a few days before schedule and may be we can have

But pun , definitely intended.. A serene location in west India , where a cook from karnataka prepares panneer for a hungry Andhraite ... globalisation ?? no that's recipe for disaster !! btw welcome to the place i eat or in local lingo Wat is called a ' mess '.Whoever coined that term, saw a pun in it.. at least earlier than i did! Gentleladies and gentleman, fasten your seat belts.. cos the ride is going to be MESS y I keep wondering if our mess is the world's most ' Aloo ' friendly mess.. Mr.Sharad Pawar can back me up on this.. its always 'aloo this' or ' aloo that', and if its not the case, then it is 'that with aloo' or 'this with aloo '. If ever there's a rise in potato prices due to shortage , then hopefully we will get to taste

Resolutions on new year are such a cliche .. talking of cliches one thing that is clichefied to the extent that new born babies can predict what will happen next are the chases in our movies... long live the ramp and the flower cart. (details later) The usual prerequisites for a cliched chase are an old jeep/bike, couple of crowded streets,a know it all hero ( who needs GPS? ), and a bunch of goons with ultra low IQ levels.. seriously i always think of all the goons in all the movies worldwide and i wonder why our desi goons have the lowest IQ levels, but they are the people who make the rajnis,mithuns and balakrishnas of our world look good.! The following is the 8 marks answer for salient features of Indian chases : (exam hangover i guess) * A bunch of goons will never be able to catch the heroine.. even if she is wearing 3 inch pointed heels and running in a desert.. and the chase ends in she bumping into the hero.. who btw has no work in life at that precise moment. * When th
