Morning raga

Ugh... what is that unearthly noise blaring at this time? I just slept!

Hands grope about towards source of aforesaid noise, both eyes still half-closed. Wham! And yeah... thats taken care of for now... go back to sleep mumbling.

Uh... again! 10 minutes of snooze time past already? Hmmff... thats bloody murder! What time is it anyway? Noooo..... it can't be 8:40 already! My alarm was set for 8:00!!! :( Wham, wham and another bloody wham!

*Whimper-whimper* Do I really need to open both eyes now? Yeah I think so.

Take off warm blanket. Darned the air is cold... that A/C will kill me some day!
*Grumble-grumble* and wear the crumpled T-shirt from the floor.

Room-mate in bathroom... *grumble-grumble some more*

I'll get up when he's out --- get back inside the blanket.

Ahh... doesn't it feel good already? Peace....

Room-mate comes out.... dude, you ought to take at least an hour in the morning! How can you be out so early? I don't want to get out of bed today!! :( :(
*Make saddest cutest face imaginable*

But the prof might teach the most important thing today and I'll miss it --- I can't
*Damn!*

Well, maybe I can --- I'll manage ;)

Naah I can't; besides the class is really interesting.
*I just confessed that, didn't I? Sad.... sad sad goddarned sad*

The bus is at 8:55, and it is 8:45 already. So I need to choose 2 of these three: wash and dress myself, eat breakfast or bathe. He hehe... I already know which one is getting the axe... phir kabhi ;)

One day, when I become the president of a university, I'll make it a law banning all classes before 12 noon!

    Wonderful Person, my blog, my fingers, my crap. Therefore, thank you!

    Janum, Well, good people are allowed to grumble, right?

    Lavender, I do usually burn a lot of midnight oil --- I'm not really a morning person :)

    I know exactly what you mean! I remember sleeping till the last minute and then sprinting out of bed in shorts, slippers, grabbing my books and running for class when I hear a kind of siren that used to blow somewhere. Class was on 8th floor of one building and hostel was on 5th floor of adjacent building!

    I am convinced there is some small teeny weeny part in my brain that refuses to like early mornings...nothing can make me love early mornings except for those long walks taken with my grandpa in summer vacations...the cool breeze, the rising sun looking all pink and the early dew on the flowers...ahhhhh, currently mornings suck with early morning calls with people who don't have a life :-/

    Anumita, 5 floors down and then 8 floors up again?? :O I am sure you never had to really worry about getting fat ;)

    Syrals, thank you! :)

    Pilgrim, welcome onboard! Okay, you are on my board of regents for the university :)

    Varun, hmm... yeah the snooze does come handy at times

    Life Lover, yeah, such mornings are always welcome. But they happen rarely... best of luck with early morning calls! :D

    I-know-who, I do smarter things --- will finish coursework and then all I get to do is to do research! :D

Maa khuh chihal a panjam hastam

The hit counter on my blog reached 20074 today. Why you may ask, is that news, and why hadn't I cheered myself up when it was at 20,000 for example? Well, it is news because 20074 has been a very special number for me during my entire college life: it was my admission number, and my system-wide unique identity. It is strange, and surprising, how these numbers become a part of our identity. The social security number, the passport number, the id number in the college, or even your roll number somehow becomes an almost innate part of the day-to-day life. As soon as I see the same number somewhere else: maybe on a telephone, on a hitcounter, maybe somewhere else... a thousand memories are triggered. As my eyes struck the hitcounter showing 20074 right now, I was thrown back to memories of filling up exam answer sheets, hostel admission forms, library recall requests, and so much more! I believe that number was present on almost every official form which I filled in college: even when ...

Are Indians the most racist in the world?

In short, no I don't think so. We are the most diverse, yes, but no we aren't the most racist people in the world. I see this being thrown around quite a bit, and it hurts to see even educated people blatantly criticizing our own countrymen without thinking it through. This post is directed at addressing that question. I am going to support my point with five arguments. First, I believe what we mistake for racism (most of the time) is actually rivalry and some of the things that come with it. Second, the immensely diverse nature of our society and country is actually an asset which we confuse with xenophobia to call ourselves racists. Third, yes, there will always be some among us and others who will be intrinsically anti-social and absolutely racist - but you cannot disown them, as the " No true Scotsman " fallacy points out. And oh, lest I forget, some of us do behave in a manner that portrays a negative/uncultured image to the outside world about Indians. These p...

A day in the life of a new Indian housewife in the US

Thank you everybody for all those comments on the last post - yeah it made me feel a lot better :). Actually, I was curious about who are the 181 readers who show up on FeedBurner but I don't get to see them ever on comments, etc. But now I know - cheers! :) About this post - the editor of a magazine from Bangalore had asked me to write a chatty gossip column (you know he found the right person, didn't you? :P). However, it has been three weeks since I have sent the article and he hasn't replied to my emails or my phone call. So I'm publishing this article here. If he contacts me, I'll write another article for the magazine again. Enjoy :) --------------- 7:00 am – I woke up. No new Orkut scraps – life is boring. Nope, my cute hubby is still asleep. His drooling mouth looks so cute. Nudged him – leaving bed now. 8:00 am - Hubby still in bed. This has become a daily routine. You try to wake him up, kiss him, and he wants to drag you into bed. Then a littl...
