Train Travails

Mumbai trains.. ever heard of those??Fast trains.. slow trains.. crowded trains and more crowded trains

Confused??.. You would be.. wondering whats fast and whats slow??... I'm sure you'd be wondering!!!

Well there are fast trains that theoretically run faster than the slow..

and the slow trains run slower than the fast.

Fast faster than the slow

and slow slower than the fast

and thats how they last...

pretty lame rhyme this one
but anyways fast and slow isnt the point,

cuz at times slow is faster than fast

and fast and slower than slow

makes it pretty fraustrating to go (damn.. another lame one)

Well coming to the point... whether its rush hour or not.. whether its with the rush or against it.. its always pretty crowded.. but still the very BEST (not the B.E.S.T. - those are the buses.. and thats a completely different story.. some other time)

Coming back to the Trains even Ricky Martin did a number for that
He's in a Virar Local,

Destination Goregaon.

Right hand's holding Mid-Day,

With left he's hanging on...

Pushed in at Dadar station,

Got a few blows on his mouth.

Crushed beyond recognition,

Wallet's been taken out...

They'll stand on your lil pinkies,

When you get into the train.

They squeeze your breath from both of your lungs,

Until they make you scream in pain.
And all your settings gone in vain, C' MON

CHORUS:

Upside, Inside Out

Livin' la Virar local.

They'll push and pull you out,

Livin' la Virar local.

And who's gonna tell them no?

You try and they'll make your kheema

They will knock you out

Livin' la Virar local.

Hey...Livin' la Virar local.

Wake up... in Borivli,

Oh shit, missed Goregaon.

And now, he's feeling silly,

Because, he's in Naigoan...

They took all his clothes off

and had him dancing in the train,

They made him sing a bhajan

until they drove the man insane.

Like a bhajia of his brain, C'MON

Upside, Inside Out

Livin' la Virar local.

Hey...Livin' la Virar local.

Hey...Livin' la Virar local.

But duh.. he forgot.. Virar local aint stopping at Goregaon

Note: The lame rhymes are all mine.. mine mineee... but the good stuff isn't mine. It ain't Ricky Martin's either.. Dunno who wrote it.. but got the right in the spot!!!

Solar Shift

Hey!! I just moved the sun... have a look!!!

Pathetic UI

Blogger/Blogspot has the most pathetic UI when it comes to formatting my posts. Is it just me or is it the case with everyone... TRIAL and ERROR to get the right effect in the final post.. thats so so so frustrating :(

Hey Mr. Page/Mr. Schmidt... you better look into this!!!!

The mainstream media and the Indian Blogarena (did I miss the hyphen?? no it looks better this way... Voila!! typo turned Coined term... ingenious) is abuzz with news-n-views, reports-n-retorts about why Mumbai voter turnout has decreased to APPROXIMATELY 44.21% (duh.. what an accurate approximation). All this despite awareness campaigns like Jaago Re.
Thousands of speculations floating around everywhere. Thankfully, a certain INDIA TV (name changed on request.. or may be not) did not blame ALIEN TERRORISTS from Mars (like the "Kya alien bhi doodh peete hain" thingie.. ewww)

Let me add my own reasons to it... or rather one of my idol's views on it... presenting six year old Calvin (applause)
Calvin: THESE ARE INTERESTING TIMES. WE DON'T TRUST THE GOVERNMENT, WE DON'T TRUST THE LEGAL SYSTEM, WE DON'T TRUST THE MEDIA, AND WE DON'T TRUST EACH OTHER! WE'VE UNDERMINED ALL AUTHORITY, AND WITH IT, THE BASIS FOR REPLACING IT!

Hobbes: "INTERESTING" IS A MILD WAY OF PUTTING IT.

Calvin:IT'S LIKE A SIX-YEAR-OLD'S DREAM COME TRUE!

PS: The lady at my election 'OUTPOST' seemed to be a manicurist.. I walked out with a fully blackened 1.5 inches of nail with same amount of skin to go with it.
PS2: They messes up the addresses real bad this time.. putting about 100 citizens in each house address(cost cutting?? what did they do with the rest of the addresses.. i smell ALIENS again)

Somebody gimme a PS3 ;)
