My life and the math of it ...

Was wondering about my life and how was i spending it.. In the past month, out of 30 days, I was in office for 25days, working say an average of 10 hrs . That makes it 250 hrs, and if i get the percentages :

250/(30*24) = 35% approx, taking a generous 8 hrs of sleep a day, adds 33% to it.. for other activities i give another 10 %.

But that just adds upto 35 + 33 + 10 = 78%, where did the rest 22% go??.... After giving this a lot of thought, i came up with various plausible scenarious .

a: I was abducted by aliens, and they blacked out the time i was with them.
b: I spent that much time writing this blog ???
c: My assumptions are grossly wrong which again put a huge question mark against my iit tag... ( :D )

A tough choice , but I am going with (a).. cos that makes me sound all mad and demented...

so long...

Riding in the rain

Its been raining of late in this god-forsaken place... and that too when you are about to leave office. Its like the rain gods and the management have a tie-up, making it rain to ensure people stay in office longer. Some people have a very nice and romantic view of the rain, but cut and paste in bangalore.. it does suck. The roads start to resemble the water channels of venice, sludge here .. sludge there. It also brings upon a rise in the number of mosquitoes, which makes me wonder if the rain gods had another tie-up .. this time with the mosquito repellant companies.On the positive side, it gets cool and refreshing in the evenings, plus driving in the rain at night is an excellent way to get rid of the drudgerous mindblock you get after work... so ye ye ye ...

bring it on... rain gods..

Trip to mysore

Well... last saturday was a working day for my company, and coming back from office, I saw my room-mates planning a bike trip to some place. Thinking it to be yet another of our "plans that get ditched for a beer session", I went to sleep. Then, suddenly my dreams of ******** were rudely interrupted and i found myself on my way to mysore. Bike tanks fully fueled, thundering down the highway at triple digit speeds gives you a unique thrill. Especially when its 2:00 in the night.

But then, like your duracell batteries this phase was soon to end. About 40km's from Bangalore,our leader Jha suddenly saw this big obstruction on the road, serving the purpose of a diversion. Applying both the brakes didnt help either, as his vehicle skidded and fell down taking down both occupants along(jha+banner).Behind them takli followed suit and also fell down.And last but not the least , yours truly managed to bring the bike down to a halt, but just when i thought all's well, the damn thing hit a mud pocket , skidded and fell down..

We picked up our bikes and checked on ourselves, tended to a bruised jha and banner, and a visibly embarrased me. We were about to leave when two bikes came at screaming speeds, and one of them went straight over the embankment , flew some considerate height and then landed on the other side of the road. We ran towards the two men , who were apart from shock, were ok, no broken bones et al.

From then on the trip was quite uneventful, with cautious driving being the norm, and dildo leading ahead with his car.

till the next adventure then.......

Chronicles of Dumbo -- part 2 :

With great pleasure and enthu i start writing again.. and i dedicate my renewed blog-spree to Dumb0 ...

... you guys might remember about dumbo's last great adventure on the mysore highway... wherein dumbo tried to gain terminal velocity and enter the planetary orbit.. and you guys might also know that due to a slight miscalculation.. dumbo failed miserably .. and landed on mother earth or rather on of her not so soft forms , namely a road,and needless to say suffered some injuries.. mostly physical...

And so we thought the flame of "risky erratic rash drunken-like" driving in dumbo had been sadly put out by that ghastly incident.. but NO ... like the piece of s**t which refuses to be flushed down.. dumbo came up trumps again ... when saturday night he came back to form in his new bike.. and his old companion banner was there like the persevering vikram ...

Dumbo was coming back at 3:00am from this all night joint bringing some much needed grub for the author.. ( :D )... and while taking a turn at good speed... did not see an oncoming indica.. inspite of banners' prostestations to stop and let the car pass.. dumbo went on and collided with the car.. which was supposedly at 90kmph ( sources say dumbo's brain has a radar gun).. the aftermath of this accident saw dumbo's bike kissing the ground.. they came back home to check the damages... they are:

1: Bike right leg guard bent..
2: Bike tank dented...
3: Weird swellings on DO's baady..
4: Visibly shaken banner.. who swore upon a lit ciggy never to sit behind the "death cheater" dumbo..

And for those who care.. i did manage to get the grub that dumbo was getting for me...

But all is not bad.. recent reports ( source : dumbo's call) .. tell us the bike is covered by insurance .. and the replacements of the tank wont cost him money.. dumbo is almost back to his normal self.. though he does resemble a poor man's egyptian mummy....

so thats it for now...
