Its madness in its chaotic best at MG Road-u in Bengaluru given the pains that we have to endure for a better tomorrow (read metro rail-u)
Just survived a transit karma in the MG Road-u neighbourhood where my bread’s winner role’s gonna shift soon post a meeting with my client and fate had it that I belt out my accented Kannada … “err…. solpa straight hogi … aaaah… stop madthene” (confident smile!)
the “aaah” is to be imagined in its Malluesque best (try listening in to a Mallu conversing with another Mallu and you’d understand the twang intended here!!!)
Accented Kannada one might thing …. soori … think … accented as its exactly what my recent language skills are skewin towards and screwing up to … I can pick accents well but my vernacular vocab is seriously limited ~ much alike a 4 MB mp3 song or an sms limit of 160 characters!
So I do shy away from scribbling Kannada into my Languages spoken section in my resume that is about … ummmm… lesse 3.6 years olde! Some loyalty thou might question … will save that for another post that : )
In case you noticed that was my first smiley after eons and alphabets … something to cheer about the reverse loop tangent (I’ve got no idea of what that’s supposed to mean ~ just in the mode of decamping all the words I picked up over this week!)
so that’s the current at the moment from Bengaluru where …
the twilight’s almost nudged into the dawn,
many a TV flicks as the audience flips channels on and on…
decibels scream as the employed head back home,
some choose family to return to … some choose to get plain blown
entertainment’s the flavor as the light glimmers artificial and bright,
we’ve discovered every way to simulate reality ~ bringin the day out of the night
… miles and centimeters to head to a borrowed bed,
warm with its welcome and comforting dreams to audience ahead
home’s a moving target as the day’s week past a month,
there’s new things to discover and many a memory to forget plain and blunt!
… adieus to bid, names, birthdays & anniversaries to remember,
of those beloved annually from January to December
alas the clock’s ticked into a worrisome yogic pose,
its time to trudge homewards, Kannada myself pretty and slip into a doze!
Its 3 straight nights of extended waked-ness (zombie-que!) of late of which yesterday was one long one the spread into the early dawn … only to we woken by the early mornin birds that carted the more sleepy folk out of Mumbai…
oh and not to mention the flyin alarms a.k.a. mosquitoes that whisper our dreams into semi-sleep ambushes … funny I counted 3 dead ones against my skin and one against the bedlinen (thankfully Male bedsheets don’t give away any telltale signs do they … besides I was alone 
) … sorry ’bout that tangent … where were we now .. ah…. on how skillful each one of us are when it comes to semi-sleep stealth retailiation on mosquitoes! Some neandrathal vestige me thinks …
so there I was watchin and walkin the sleep in me away as I SantaCruzed myself away into Andheri briefly stoppin to spot the tailwing of many a Titanium bird … Qatar Airways … Some big huge bellied and bison humped Jumbo (I was right under it hence the lack of classification!)
the Qatar airways flight made me work my mental math into action with a slice of geography included here to estimate if the pax onboard the bird to let say Doha would actually not miss hours as they might get in within 2.5 hours which is close to the GMT difference between Mumbai and Doha! Someday we might travel that fast that we feel less guilty of the loss of time! Imagine if we finally got rid of that phrase ‘You’re such a waste of time!’
thought as much about how to weather work for the day as my batteries dried on and the caffiene in my cola (nah I won’t tell which one … u guess!) didn’t help all to much but free some gastro state of matter … that really does not matter!!!
Its strange how mini power naps help to choke oneself up … what’s more amazing is how our consciousness merges with liquid finesse whenever one drifts off into siesta land … its more like how the train shifts from one track to another as it leaves a station …
guess that’s enough that one can key in for the day in my current state of consciousness … ta for now civilised folks … there’s many a dream to catch up with and a lot more winks and sheep to count off ….. zzzzzzzz off dear eyeballs … rest soon in another smaller post perhaps! brevity virtues can be bettered someotherday!
Hello civilisation… its plain and simble … its a call name that’s derived from my surname : )
Anyways I hope that I get over my ‘blog-fright’ and start posting interesting anecdotes from my many observations of life in the near future.
Its kind of a dress rehersal of sort for me to see how folks like my writing and how many e-smiles/Chuckles I manage to inspire with my etch and long borne itch to …well.. write and (more importantly) be read
Lastly I shall try in any humanely possible way to summarize myself … please do ‘pardonne moi’ when it comes to the occassional slip though … mercy be with you ; )
great … the ice has begun to thaw : >
