Western Disturbances!!

Look it up and you will find nothing.... Instead search for it in some geographic media, and you will get a chart on why it rains in the eastern coast and central India in some particular months.

No, this effort is not on those lines. This one is about a few disturbances that i note in some of us due to a western influence.

Growing up has been an issue that has always left me dangling in thought in the middle of nowhere. I just couldnt find anything with growing up that was so fab! Inside, I still prefer to be a teenager! This could be a passing phase for all i know ...! But, it amazes me that a lot of other people think the same too.

I have grown up with a lot of those western disturbances ... i mean the cultural shocks...
Influences everyone...thats what i feel.....

Look at these statistics :

average age for marriage (us) 35
out here 20

career jumpstarts (us) 30s
out here nothing like that ... eng stays eng for life (enterpreunership killed?)

Here people seem to start early and end up small. Out there, ppl start late and end up with astronomical wealth.

What i am saying is that ppl out here in India are adopting a western lifestyle ... which elders call a 'western disturbance'.
I would prefer to call all those grumpy aged people "Geriatric Disturbance".

I am happier with Subway than Balasubramanians Idly Vada Shop.
I am better off with a pair of Wrangler, than show off my nuts with a see through 'khadar' !!

Dont know if this post would raise a lot of contempt against me !!
Anyways, I still stand for advancement by adopting things we should adopt!
Yet, I would strongly defend anything that is killing a tradition without any value add!

Small ideas in an ocean of thought

You are in!!

The Goan experience was more than frighteningly nostalgic. And thank you for the prayer that we dont encounter a deja vu experience.
Anyways, i want to invite the blogger dewdrops for a time of life with a group of smart and charming young gentlemen . But then again, i am not too sure if that count for or against you. Coz I can assure you that you never gonna have even a second to take your eyes off us to look at the pale phirangi skin. And similarly, chances are that you will be completely ignored since we will not have even a millisecond to spare; since from the moment we land on Goan land, we would have dedicated our eyes, mind and some other unmentionable parts of our bodies to the service of the valuable foreign tourists.
Please do give me the oppurtunity to explain as well. The interest in these noble people, who come dressed in their noble robes are solely in financial interest of the motherland. Please refer to Chidambaram's budget and also to the Tourism portfolio minister's action plan for clarifications.
Here's the most important part of this blog/comment.This place Goa is one place in the world where there are only two kinds of people. Rather, they count people to be a part of two groups that they themselves have distinguished.
  1. The kind of people who are blessed to have the company of an individual of the opposite sex. Often these people are reffered synonymously as "CUSTOMERS". (These could be a couple of foriegn mongrels who are on the verge of bankruptcy. As the final vacation of their lives, these buggers land up in INDIA. And especially Goa for the availability of cheap 'Grass' or 'Ganja'.) AND
  2. Losers.... stags .... loners ..... dropouts .... there are very many insulting adjectives that they slam on us bachelors. People who are unanimously declared as anti-social or part of the All India Lecher's Association. (AILA).
    But then again, its not because we belong to that 2nd group (all we have to do is bare our manly chests to get promoted into the 1st group), but because we (I) have special interests in the ladies' (rose and dewdrop) company that we would like to warmly invite you over to Goa.

Please treat this as the formal invitation. And please try to join us. We assure you a ball of a time. And lots of care.
For all of us, this is John wooing you to GOA.

With Love and Regards.

John

Live and Kicking

Thank you pals!! I am honored by the comments you have blessed me with.
Not that the amount was phenomenal or mind boggling ; but the love and concern reflected there is heart-warming. My sincere thanks to all the male bloggers and hugs and kisses to the better counterparts.

Anyways getting down to business, work load is getting a lil cumbersome ... so gotta see how i can outlive this hilly terrain.

Till then you people keep rocking !! See you on the plains then!

Best Dayz of My Life

Best Dayz of My Life

This blog name is borrowed !! My heartfelt condolences to the author "dewdrops" of the other blog....

Well anyways , anything is fair in love and war .. the only question remaining however is to decide if its love or war ... and i would wish its not war after seeing the F against gender!!

The best days of my life would be the days i am free enough to blog ( find time to do something completely useless ) and still enjoy doing so. In short all days of my life have been my best days and will remain so!!!

Thats all i profess ..... " Live life like theres no tomorrow ... at the end of the day you will smile at your yesterday". And this blog is but a small move in the same directions. It feels good to have a blog against your name.

Chao then ....
Hopefully someone should respond.
