With My SUGAN


No one has ever told me what happiness is supposed to feel like; what the symptoms are. Happiness is something I'm not used to for a sustained period of time (more than two days). If I were writing a dictionary, my definition of happiness would be: "a transitory phase between bouts of unhappiness".

Then what is this unbelievable feeling... that I feel now, in her company, with such great ferociousness in wanting to smile all the time? After almost 4 years of being in love with her in the most separatist of circumstances - the closer she gets to me, the more I feel physical spasms of deliciousness in my existence and mental orgasms of comfort in her presence! Is this the happiness out of which I was cheating myself all these years?

Today, I walked with her on the streets of Chennai in the rain that she loves so much. She walked slowly, reluctant to step into shelter and away from the pouring rain. And I walked slower, folded umbrella in hand, reluctant to step into shelter and away from her. I chipped a tooth gritting to control myself from screaming to the world that she is with me.

I cannot resist the temptation to believe that there is a possibility of constancy in happiness.

FCUKIN 60th INDEPENDANCE DAY!!!

To all those who want to remind me about the brighter side of things, I want to say No Thanks. Sure we are a developing country and we're moving forward and the economy is growing and blah blah blah etc etc etc, but what is the use if a person can't simply speak his mind about what he wants to?

Here's a little something for your birthday. I call it 'A nation at the feet of its people'.

Happy 60th Mother India!! One hell of a birthday greeting ain't it? ;)

LOONEY TOONES

Here is Mr. Wile E. Coyote, the largest endorser of Acme Inc.'s products.

That's going to blow up in his face for sure. The colouring bit was very impulsive and I'm not glad that I went ahead and did it.

Anyways, here is Mr. Coyote in a never before seen avtar.

Rock on dude!!!

i(wanna)Pod

Let me first thank Steve Jobs and the people at Apple Inc., the brains behind the gadget...ummm nahh! Super-gadget par excellence, something that has changed the world forever. It is a quintissential portable music device, which delivers even more than just music.

I first laid my hands on one more than a year ago, and it was love at first touch. It was a 30GB video iPod, my brother siddharth(who likes to buy all the latest stuff in the market, but more importantly - has the money to buy it) had got recently.

The ease of use is startling, and the capacity is just delicious. The songs were not what I particularly enjoy listening to(bollywoodish stuff), but the experience was still amazing. Although the battery life was not something to brag about, but I said to myself, "Hey! You can't have everything. What can be better than this?" But I was wrong. Mr. Jobs introduced us to the next generation pods quite a while back, and their battery life is superb. What next? An iPod that has solar charging?!(I pray and i hope that happens.
