Almost a month spent at home with mostly no work caused me to notice and wonder at our habits as Indians in general. Must say that effect of how people in the US behave is a driving factor as otherwise all this seem pretty natural and obvious.
we love to form queue. whenever there is a chance. purpose no bar.
whenever there is a queue there is always a parallel smaller queue formed by more intelligent and busy people.
I formed this theory while waiting to board my connecting flight from frankfurt to delhi. Almost everyone already had the boarding pass. But still as soon as the LH ppl arrived everyone formed a queue just to get into another waiting room.

oblivion
These days at times
interesting how life
looks the same from other eyes
metallica - fade to black.
Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can’t be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he’s gone
No one but me can save myself, but it’s too late
Now I can’t think, think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye

star wars after all
yippppeeee! I saw it finally. yesterday. was able to convince gaga to watch it with me. Had to give a crash course on the star wars history first! Right now I am feeling just too happy to be able to review it :) Yoda rox in this movie. Though he fails in the end as expected. There is some humor in this movie unlike the last two. it was sooooo good to see darth vadar and the wookies on big screen. Must say that the transition of anakin was done convincingly. making sure to show that he had some good left in him :) samual as windu got his share by being the one who defaced the sith lord! anyway. I guess that's it. the saga ends. may the force be (strong (that's a new from this movie :) ) ) with you all.

During my stay at home I visited bits pilani, the college I graduated from. It was great to see the good ol clock tower again with all the four clocks ticking correctly :) Saw some profs too. Raghurama still spots a beard. Guru still looks the same and SPG hasn't grown an inch and still wears the white dhoti!!! COuldn't find AKS or Sahoo :( The new (for me) library complex is totally out of place. colored in pink instead of the tm yellow. There were more cars and bikes then in my time some six years ago. but one thing that did change, no pigs around munna :) and one thing that didn't change THANK GOD, chofo is still the best chock drink in the world and it still takes less than a min to prepare. how else will bluemoon survive.

here and there
returning home from the USA is always some experience. Jaipur always amazes me. When I was young I used to wonder at the wide long clean roads. Now I wonder at the same roads, so crowded and dirty and slow. Tangas and rickshaws with here and there theli wallas gracing the road. Anyway that's home sweet home after all. People still so innocent and religious. Blaming god and stars for everything and anything.
While in the US most imp worry for people was abortion rights and same sex marriage. Here in Rajasthan it's child marriage. the heads of village panchayats arguing in favor of it coz kids elope if they grow older without marriage.
It's raining in the desert! A pic of a lake in Jaiselmer overflowing with water in the summer was amazing.
