Finally something that i thought was really funny. I dont think so Indians are really smart as well but we are definitely smart enuf to answer most of their questions. This video definitely doesnt imply that all Americans are dumass but atleast most of the ones featured in this video are 🙂
Cheers n Mera Bharat Mahan 🙂
Have been slightly busy lately.. learning SAS , trying to be a chauffer 😉 and also learn to drive.. i have definitely excelled at how not to kill passersby on Bangalore roads and also learnt what would happen if u suddenly apply brakes in a busy road when vehicles move at snails pace.. woah.. u definitely dont wanna try that. Its been quite an experience. Sheer Suicidal.. !.
Hey.. Suicidal reminded me of an email i received a few days ago.. Interestingly it had Garfield sharing a message.!!! 😉
Garfield sez ..!!!

Well, Thats all i can say for this week.. Cant seem to remember when was the last time i did so much work in a single week.. Well i am gonna list em out so all the boys would agree.. It indeed has been a lot of work 😉
To start off :
• Shop till u drop.
• Run around to get my Drivers License
• Find out status of my visa 😦 which was rather disappointing ( not gonna be here for atleast 4 more weeks )
• Find something to do in next 4 weeks ( which I am contented that I did find something interesting )
• n the same ol “Pot Belly reduction” plan.
After i had to stand in the hot sun for over 2 hrs to get my Learners License.. yes you heard me right.. am 26 and i dont have a 4 wheeler license.. nothin to be ashamed of though. !! I dont think so its that bad. The shopping was kinda ok though.. come on now.. its gonna benefit me as well.. was some clothes and items from health n glow 🙂 But dont seem to understand why GALS are sometimes so darn choosy bout stuff.. well if any GUY had to run to three different stores (which they generally dont) to find a single item/brand on the list and dont find it anywhere.. the GUY would opt for a different item/brand. but the GALS dont. Poooof..Women.. so darn confusing..
Nevermind that, now that i have close to 4 weeks i decided on upskilling myself to domains in which i have been working on but had very little formal training .. so i decided to enrol into SAS and Advanced analytics and predictive analysis.. am quite suprised at myself.. i hadnt done so much research on picking a course even when i had chosen to do my Diploma in darned Nitte.. ( No offence but am one of those who hates the place, though i kinda made many good frens there.. the college sucked. ). Finding the course wasnt easy .. Poor Bops had to walk around places in 4th block ( NIIT, Imperia and what not ) after a tiring days work.. well the day ended definitely on a good note as we hogged @ Chung Wah !! n then checked out Cell phones at a Nokia store. i seem to have fallen in luv with the E71, E51 and 5800 models.. well i own the E51 and its a fab. i guess the E71 maybe the next one.
Anyways will keep u informed of the course and the progress in my next blog.. keep waiting 🙂
Well.. This i something i checked out in one of the mags while i was travelling back from Kerala.. Couldnt stop thinking of all my frens who burn ciggies and blow worse than a choo choo train. Folks.. time to think again.

Tobacco can put you off
PS : The pic aint too clear coz i had to take it using my cell phone. Nevertheless hope it conveys the message across.

Its been close to 3 weeks now since i have been out of work.. Still waiting to get an update from the embassy on my visa status.. gee i didnt think it was gonna take this long.. if i had known i’d probably have held on to my job in the BIG company for another month.. But nevertheless this break was kinda much needed.. Its comin after almost over 5 years of working.. Well as of now, i have been busy travelling and shopping, helping around the house, visiting relatives , catchin up with ol buds, working out ..( ahem ahem .. i know what u are probably thinking.. Yesssssss am on a killer spree to lose my pot belly.. damn u folks from chandigarh who made me a drink every weekend… 😉 kidding guys ).
Well admist all this, i have really started to appreciate the little gestures from people and realised how they go un-noticed. For Instance, we have been reading in the news bout reckless bus drivers, and folks cursing them and what not but do we appreciate any of the same drivers when they make way or follow the rules as they are meant to. Well its not quite always i have been given way by a bus driver but it did happen today near the busy South end Rd. Well i was surprised, anyone would have been.. given the reputation that follows the BMTC drivers but i did take a moment to grab his attention to wave and smile acknowledging he did good. I guess i am sounding a lil crazy.. but to think of this in a whole different manner.. If he did realise that i smiled at him for being good on road, i am sure he’d want better days everyday than being cursed around for bad driving.
So folks, next time Wave n Smile … You never know — It may change driving habits in people. But them change should always begin with ones ownself… so Be good on the road.. You never know someday , someone , somewhere will smile n wave to you 🙂 .
Cheers
