A List of Things I Currently Cannot Get Enough Of

x When you smile in that slow, progressive way
x The way you laugh at all of my awful jokes
x When you look off in the distance, and then swoop your big, dark eyes towards me god that just about knocks me over every time
x Your smirk
x The way you relax into a seat
x Listening to you talk about your thesis, or your family, or anything
x The way you curl around me as we sleep, and how you let me rest my head on your shoulder at night
x Your lips

hotel galifornia

On a dark crowded highway
brylcreem in my hair
warm smell of Idly Dosas
rising up through the air,

up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
my eyes grew dim and my head grew light
I had to stop for the night ,

there they stood in the doorway
they were desis you could tell
I got out fearfully saying this will surely be hell

all around us were buildings
247, ACS and Dell
I slowly unloaded my things
In the shadows of Intel

and still those parking lots were full of Qualis
waiting up in the middle of the night
to be driven home by programers

welcome to the town of Bangalore
such a desi place, such a crazy place
we're livin' it up in the town of Bangalore
such a nice surprise, so many people with no lives

my heartstrings were twisted
I wanted to feel at home
where thousands of desis existed
and no white man dared roam

sambar stains on the ceilings
mango lassis on ice
sit and watch the paint peeling
or make daal and boil rice

but my mind revolted at the very thought
I grabbed my bag and bolted
I'd escape no matter what

and still those voices are calling
from far away wake you up in the middle of the night
I can hear them say

welcome to the town of Bangalore
such a desi place, such a crazy place
we're livin' it up in the town of Bangalore
such a nice surprise, so many people with no lives

I wake up in a cold sweat
thank god it was a dream,
there is no need to fret.
I still live in the Bangalore Oh, I still live in Bangalore....

about me

You are quite operatic and romantic. your tenuous rays give me intense delight reminding me of my dream. The wonderful lady of my thoughts, the women of my imagination, she is the nature's wonder. just like you, gorgeous, in and out. An ideal sense of balance for an erratic and clashing personality like mine. I am genuinely and intensely in love with the woman of my dreams.. Well! You must be knowing me. I am an unusual man. Expressive as well as practical, with both the feet on ground, I swing amidst the extremities of my personality. An enormous bundle of contradictions, which reflect the spirit of my manners, my moods, my thoughts, feelings and views. Deeply emotional, I recluse and at the same time I can be a live wire. The very opposing qualities of mine must be confusing everybody and even you too. But I am open and blunt in expressing my ideas. I believe in hard work rather than fortune. As a massive believer in uphill struggle, I feel that tougher I work, the more luck favors me.

Being an Aqua, no wonder I having liberal thoughts and loving to have a laissez-faire economy. I love to imbibe every second life offers, believing the heaps and tons of scrumptious opportunities it offers. I long for the innovative objects life have to endow upon me. Fair enough to say, my utmost compulsion is Net, the place where I first and foremost rely upon. The place I love and breathe for. I like to spend my days in the net exploring all the technological frontiers. This helps me escape the bottomless and bottom-full feelings I have gathered all these elongated and forlorn years. I atone for not relating Net as my love. It gives me immense support and provides poise for my impulsive nature. So Net is my sweetie too. The dawn heightens my mood. Do you know sunshine, what I will do when I am in bliss? I step my feet into the Net. Hey, I have two visions, which I badly want to convert into reality. One is to tie a nuptial knot to my sweetheart and the other to explore another sweetheart, the Web. I always admired you sunshine, and dreamt to be your acquaintance. You are the power in me. You are the source for the work I do. Welcome me as your friend. Well! Do you want to know me? ... I am fond of little children and eating Junk. I wonder the nature and creativity. I love arts. Hey, but I am not a virtuoso. I listen to music. I have a passion for pearls, graphics, Internet, movies and cooking. I like Indian villages and it's culture. I like to see my mailbox filled with message not the spam though... I like denim and dreams. often mixed together. Peel me a grape and I am thankful to you , Yes, I love to eat grapes. Flowers, my sweetheart and my music are the top priority. I disgust loneliness. I like to have a smoke once in a while and I love tequila. A true altruist who dislikes selfishness. I hate beaurocracy and favoritism. But God discarded me into it. Emotional and down-to-earth yet a confirmed net addict longing to experience tons of wild opportunities life has to offer, this is me for you - A bundle of contradictions and craving for more! At heart I am a person who dangles every moment between the deepest introvertism and the outright extrovertism. I have been hanging between the scales, between the extremities. I have had my share of both ends in equal measure.

My friends tell me I am an utterly free and frank person, whether the ongoing topic is love, politics, the rising price of fish or the falling costs of computers. Yes, my greatest addiction to date is the Net, a place I love and live for. It helps me give vent to all those pent up emotions that I have bottled up deep inside me, over a period of long lonely years..... Oh yeah, I expected your next question. And the answer is in the positive - I am in love. Deeply, madly in love with the woman of my dreams. That's another dream I am sure to convert into reality. Emotional, Introverted, and friendly, In fact, she provides the perfect balance for my unpredictable nature. Apart from this special soul mate, I primarily rely on technology to provide me with the love and heart-to-heart communication I require to keep me going smoothly. I love and deeply respect my close friends and Family. They form the core support structure of my life. On par with this is my love for my country, my India. It is these emotions that make up my psychological makeup. Sentiments that reflect my being and my mission on this planet.

Culture, Music, Internet, Small Villages, Hyderabad , Watching fat-bottomed girls, Nature,Road Trips, Cooking, Emails, Arts, Movies, Violet, Grapes, Jeans, Road Side Food, Little Kids, New York City, Dreams of all colors etc.


WHAT I SPIKE!!!!!!! Loneliness, Selfishness, Girls who act bitchy, Smelly Dustbins, KREEEEEESCHH ( Defined : Screeching Sounds produced when a metallic surface is scraped sadistically), Pornography on the net (Frankly, I think a medium like the net gets polluted by it), etc. I dream of spreading altruism in this god-forsaken world. This may sound reticent but genius has it's rewards. Isn't that Magnanimous with a capital M?
