Wonder La

I had been to a short excursion to wonder la last tuesday. The place is quite good and the rides are even better. Altogether a very nice place if you want to enjoy an ecxiting recluse from the monotony of city life. Food is very good and economical. A whole day goes very quickly and you will only be left with sweet memories and a very sore body afterwards. 

Power cuts

Power cuts have become fairly common in Bangalore nowadays. Near my house the scheduled power cuts are at 7 am and 7 pm for an hour each time. Unscheduled power cuts are, well, unscheduled. You cant know when you can start reading something or working on the computer as there is this annoying paradox that whenever you start doing something, something enivetably goes wrong. Anyway, this had better not continue for long as my academic year begins very shortly.

Chatter and sanity

I never thought I am much of a very outgoing person. Reserved, is what someone who does not know me very well can say. I have never before been(willingly or unwillingly) an active part of unwanted banter. My opinions have changed this summer. It is very important for a person to talk to someone else very frequently. A nice little conversation when one is bored does a world of good and helps preserve one's sanity. All it does is that it does not coax you to think and reach conclusions of even small and insignificant actions of the people around you.

Reflections

Its been quite some time since i last posted a blog. Truth is, I dont know what to blog about. Life has never been so monotonous or depressing. The long awaited holidays seem to be grinning satirically and the clock seems to be making extra efforts to go slowly. Everything that can be done has an annoying air of monotony. I started to read Arthur C Clarke's Rama Series( books on science fiction... they are great.. really). Probably, lack of intelligent or sometimes unintelligent banter is taking its toll. Man was certainly meant to be a social animal. Introverts like me have a toughtime coping with it. 

Of Snobbism

I live in a very peaceful neighbourhood with very decent and friendly neighbours. Around an year ago, a couple and their daughter came to live in a recently vacated house. They were nothing like I had seen before. Nothing like, in the sense that i had never seen such snobs in my life. They are completely devoid of any social activities, interaction with the neighbours is almost nil. I dunno how many smiles have been wasted on them by all the neighbours. Is such an attitude common? I dont know. What i do know is that their PR skills are at an all time low. What does concern me is that they now have a dog. Apart from their 20ft by 20ft house it is never brought down the stairs, let alone taken for a walk. Poor beast. It will also probably turn out like them.
