here i am

just thinking about how long i haven't written here . many reasons, not the least of which would be a lack of sufficiently angsty things to write about.
not that there haven't been angsty things to write about, but i was just trying to catharize my mind of this ,without resorting to key-mashing.

Notice: i've migrated my blogger thing to Google - so if you do get an email from me ... it will be (name of blog) AT gmail DOT com... not the other one. i will still use the older one , though ... but for new people (should there be any) this rule will stand.

i detest people who treat dogs as inferior beings just because they cannot talk.
the other day, our driver, a rather cunning stupid guy, tried to speed over the gate bump - almost mashing the Resident 4 Footed Guy's leg .
if it were okay to bash people in places out of First Person Shooters ... i felt like doing that then..but i had to be satisfied by yelling at him "what if you were there and i drove this car over your leg?".

more on the same moron mentioned above ... last weekend, i was trying to arrange for a restaurant reservation for a friend of mine, at the request of his girlfriend who i also know.
The Driver grumbled "match dekhna hai"... and proceeded to speed through a Red Sign and mash the car against the door of another vehicle. fortunately the other driver and passenger turned out to be a lot more complaisant after i admitted it was our error...HIS error , but one cannot blame one's subordinates in front of OTHER PEOPLE - a stupid management concept but one that has to work in The Real world.

redevelopment - a new 4-letter word for me.

the wonderful old-style apartment complex (society in colloquial speak) is planning to be redeveloped. in short ... read that all the lovely two decade old trees are going to be chopped down and some snazzy sunshine blocking rats-warrens are going to be erected. no one even realises that the water and electricity situation there will be worsened . Does NO ONE think beyond the end of midnight tonight ???
