flip flop

There is this lady - my neighbour... she is singing all religious songs from 6 in the morning for a whole hour or two with her prayer bells and everything possible ringing around ... she is not that old to be getting so much into prayer n that kind of stuff... as we have that notion - only the old people pray...she's middle aged lets say... and i respect her 'respect for god' and all the all mighty thing...but pls yaar one should think about the neighbours nah? in the spirit of Love thy neighbour...at least... otherwise when i am here in my room thinking of something to write ... all that enters the mind thru' open ears are the words... om jaigadisha haree... n jai jai jai mahadev... if i complain to elders in the house... it's definitely a +ve thing for them that some gud stuff going in my head 'stead of some jumbled words of a rock song or the constant striking of fingers on the keys... my logic is... if you praying... u pray silently nah why all the noise...

n e ways catching up on life... m back to work from a short training... had some substantial input from all day learning and lil work... took me back to college days for sometime... but snap back to reality... n dats wot we always do...

when we write ... n at some days or some points in time we have nothing to write on... or there is a wall which stops all flow of thinking to put words on the screen... it's called a Writer's Block...
for a change someone could come up with a Writer's Blog...

so, some may think i am back to my plop-plap... click clack kinda title again.. but i have flip flop for a very valid reason here.... which has been quite elusive till now...
ktm is all wet with rain rain and more rain.... so flip flop are your sandals on the wet streets... which go extra hard on those flipping and flopping.... n the catch is... only "u" hear and feel the flip flops of your own shoes or sandals... if you just stare at the people beneath you on the streets to get some of that flip flop sensation...no madam... sirjee, "you" need to be on the streets with a pair of sandals yourself for that cool new sensation f your sandals... flip flop... flip flop... flip flop... on the streets of cat-man-du... go get a pair NOW... wet it with all the puddles dats there... squeak it a lil... slip a lil n flip flop on... ...
so this wet season.... happy flip flopping to all... ...
smts i wonder... (read it as: at all times)... who gets my jokes? does n e one ever? or do i jus ramble on ... for the heck of it... question mark.

The International Bird Rescue Research Center in Cordelia. Calif., plans to raise funds with an unusual duck X-ray, which they say shows the clear image of what appears to be the face, or head, of an extraterrestrial alien in the bird's stomach. Unfortunately, the duck died quickly and quietly of its injuries. (AP Photo/International Bird Rescue Research Center, Marie Travers)


This-May

To be very apolitical, May saw the solid outcomes of the April movement. A lot has happened in the month of May… at least for the Nepalese… we got a PM after such a long time… but we got the same old PM… whom many shunned for his avarice. The peace talk was historic… the points agreed on were good… ceasefire, no bandhs, no chakka jams, no disturbance on the movement of food and essential goods. It all brings so much optimism in people's mind. We saw much more historic and truly amazing changes … royal powers were brought down to almost nothing… monarchy had never been so much diminished… the aura of the King never been so challenged. May saw some heartwrenching accidents… and spine-chilling robberies – three robberies in a week. Two banks looted, a house attacked…all daylight robberies in the heart of the capital.

Women's rights got some solid boosting in the HoR – Citizenship by a mother's name and a third reservations in state mechanisms...had been a long longed dream. All Nepalese had some take or the other… yet the euphoria doesn't seem to have seeped everywhere. Is it because we saw some extremely peaceful rallies on the street? Or is it just the heat creeping up our senses - or, has the senses got so creeped, the system's got heated? why are we yet not happy?

Its bad to end up with a question - especially on an issue like this. But i just wish someone had the answers - and i wish that someone to be the ones who take us forward... who are giving us these changes... where are we headed sir, please give direction?

98degreesFarenheit

World Cup Wall chart needs to be sent tomorrow with the probable wins, and i could win a Ferrari... at least it'd feel like i'd just won one...
it's intelligent gambling... we guess who wins... i get it right, i win... nice.
First time i laid my eyes on the schedule.. i chuckled to see Trinidad playing against Sweden... that land of Naipaul... interesting.
Serb&Mont... Togo... Ghana... does seem like some fresh play. Anyways, not a safe bet though... Would the cup go to Brazil? Spain? Argentina? France or stay home - Germany? Whom should i bet on? hmm... ...

Crime and Punishment

I am no one to judge the book by that famous author who can be barely spelled – Fyodor Dostoevsky – hope I'm right at that. However, each time I lend the book to some new enthusiast, it gets returned after a few flips. I had thoroughly enjoyed that book a few years back basking under the winter sun. And each time someone asks me for a nice book or a novel to read I happily offer C&P. how is it? What is it about? Is it good? Looks too fat!? There are the most frequent FAQs I get... And the less frequent ones are how long can I take to read it and I hope it is not too "classic" for me and have you really read it?

After the initial phase is over and I am successful in actually lending the book, it is just a matter of time that it lands safely in its coveted corner unruffled. And I wonder why people find it so uninteresting.

I don't answer most of the FAQs… 'Why don't you read it and then we can talk' I usually say... Because it basically is a murderer's psycho analysis … so subtly and intriguingly dealt… I can't just take in bits and pieces from it to analyze what is it about and who it is about… it is about Raskolnikov, the main character… and the whole story revolves around different other characters in his life and his psychology... and his life in the streets of Russia… and it's wonderful…the psycho analysis…

And I just don't understand why my friends just don't read it… I carry the book back and place it beside Anna Karenina… it's just been more than a year? I smile to myself… just about a year I borrowed Ms Anna? or has it been more…
