"Mayawati to demolish premier sports complex in Lucknow"
That's how my day started..reading about another ridiculous act by our politicians. When there are a million productive things for our politicians to occupy themselves with, they still pursue such stupid and trivial things. Stupid because it defies all logic and common sense and is totally self serving.
Apparently Mayawati wants to pull down the Sports Complex and build a memorial for her mentor Kanshi Ram. What an idea !!! The sheer absurdity of this renders me speechless....these are our elected candidates....we put them there to work for us...what utter crap !!
Mayawati: If you want to build a memorial....please feel free to do so....spend your ill gotten crores to buy some land and commission some artisans to build a "larger than Statue of Liberty" of Kanshi Ram or Dr. Ambedkar....don't waste our money on it

Gymming Pain
My arms are hurting, back is sore, neck isn't turning, calf is burning, chest is on fire.
Aftereffects of 1 day of josh in the gym.
Yes....Siby is sweating it out...and enduring the pain and lack of sleep as my gym partner had the brilliant idea of working out at 6:30 in the morning.
Gym management is full of sadistic b******s who enjoy watching you grunt and heave and make funny noises while you try to push a measly 5 kilo slab of iron around, with some Mr. Bulging Biceps who probably could bench press a baby elephant standing over you, smirking and watching condescendingly and saying " super" like a stuck record. How i wish i could punch him square in his face when he adds another 10 kilos to my 5 and then sit back enjoying the show. But then, i am going to gym to build, not break my body...so i just glare at him malevolently and grunt some more.
Girls have it so easy..just put some powder and lipstick and Lo...Behold...HOT GIRL...not like us poor guys who have to sweat it out for their benefit. I wish..........

Revenge of the Cat
After living in style at the company guest house for a couple of weeks...and going through the painful house hunting stage where we and the broker took turns driving each other mad, we finally settled on a warm 3 BHK row house in Baner.
Along with the furnishings and other fittings, we got the owner's pet cat free in the deal. Now this cat is really crazy...the moment you open the door, she darts in and then refuses to get out of the house....will constantly mew and mew and mew....beg for food...do the Puss in Boots act ...sleep on our couch and get in our way..she even managed to trip us over a few times.
She has no respect for us and doesn't get out of the house when we tell her to..hiding in the most remote nooks and corners of the house when we try to throw her out. So we decided to take firm action.
She usually waits just outside the door... waiting for us to open the door so that she can dart in. So yesterday,i just stepped out..sugar talked her into my arms and then launched her into the garden. After a couple of high velocity- high altitude launches, she understood that there was no way i was gonna take her inside..so she struck back. When we came back from work...our waste bin looked like it had been hit by lightning..everything scattered around the front yard and torn to shreds.
WAR !!!!
Today's launch specs:
Expected time: somewhere between 9pm -10pm
Launch Velocity: more than 11.6 km/sec
Payload: 1 stupid cat
Launch will be captured on video for posterity

Dont know what to call this
What pains me the most is to see a person who has so much potential just lose it all, lose focus, drive, energy, ambition….hope. I just hate feeling that sense of resignation..the passive acceptance of “fate”…
We can never take full credit for what we are…we are what we are cos of the influence of millions of things, family..friends…location..accident of birth…and our own effort is but a minuscule part of what it took to shape us to our present state. I feel so frustrated to see close friends just waste away their entire future....maybe they didn’t get the right kind of support at the right time... all of us have had moments of despair, when we think all is lost..and then ..someone pulls us through..maybe they didn’t have that someone.
Whatever it might be, hope is never lost…we have to realize that there is always another chance…what is life without struggle? May God give her strength and the spirit to fight on!
