Sometimes, I wonder:

1. Who thought of the reply to “What’s up?” as “Nothing much” and then circulated it to every living soul of this country? How and when it became the standard reply?
2. Why were all the mushy feelings attributed to heart and not to, for instance, kidney or liver?
3. Who thought of rainy season as romantic; why was it universally accepted by all the poets? Had these poets never visited Bombay in monsoon season?
4. Why were Saturday and Sunday chosen as the weekly holidays? Wouldn’t it be more convenient if the weekly holidays were Wednesday and Sunday?
5. How did everyone in our country realize the importance of change money (chutte paise) that they never want to let them go? Was it taught by Gandhi as one of his talismans?
6. How did the generation of our parents and grandparents manage to look busy without computers in their offices? Did they keep refreshing the pages of the files kept on their desks?
7. Why ain’t all the days of a week of same duration? It would have been great if 24 hours of Monday were equal to 24 hours of Saturday.
8. Why is our to-do list not like drivers’? They never have any pending tasks for tomorrow.
9. How did we use to kill 15 seconds in an elevator in pre-cell phone days?
10. Why is it so important to end everything in multiples of 5 or 10? A lot of my grey cells would have been saved if I just ended this post with the first 9 points only!

Dedicated to someone who knows how to dream!

Often, we have fervently discussed about the corporate whores that we all are. There have been innumerable occasions when we all cribbed about our long work hours, bitched about our bosses, loathed our lives, cursed the Indian economy, hated our offices’ locations, abused anyone who used to enjoy his work..Heck, anything and everything related to our jobs.

At other times, in not so low spirits, we fantasized about leaving our fucking jobs; the mere thought of becoming the masters of our lives gave us our best orgasms ever! In our free times, we all have read about the journeys of several entrepreneurs, and instantly they became the Jim Morrisons of our lives. We subscribed to various entrepreneurial journals and magazines on our oh-so-cool cell phones and tablets (As an aside - we were able to afford them only because of our jobs!). We kept discussing about our virtual ventures and our innovative ideas with all our friends at every possible occasions. We had the logos and the names of our potential companies etched in our heads. Forget the reality; we were taking micro-steps towards realizing our dreams!

If not anything else, these ideas used to make interesting dinner table conversations. We used to get a few nods, encouraging smiles and some respite from our otherwise dull life. Only problem was we never had any timelines in mind to implement our ideas. And, deep down may be we didn't even have the courage to forgo the luxuries (read money) our jobs offered.

But, you, my friend, are different. Oh boy, you took that plunge and how! It is almost like losing your virginity to an extraordinarily beautiful, angelic, ever so charming, surreal vampire. Her touch is divine, love making with her is par excellence and you know you would just get one chance to do it. But, while you are at it, you may not know how risky it could be!

All I would say is, Go bro go, get laid! May you get the best sex of your life!
