Ice Ice baby

Thats what we thought we'ld be doing when we (Vishnu,Bobby and myself) decided to go Skiing on our vacation this December.

Well we realised that what you expect is not what you always get.

I'm sure you'ld have all expected somethings to be really easy and silly but when you actually try it out, its aint silly anymore. 

Well Skiing was not exactly there in our itenary.But the 3 of us couldnt resist that thought on our way to Rohtang Pass especially since we would be amidst the honeymooning couples and we wanted some adventure of our own. 

So we spend around 4000 bucks renting equipment for our skiing expedition and headed to Rohtang. Now my advice to all those who have long feet, you need to have pateince while trying out the ski because skis for long feet are hard to find.

Now after spending 4000 bucks, pushing cars to get to the top and an adventerous road journey through the edges of the moutains and slippery icy tracks, this is how we ended up.

I think our driver caught the dissapointment in our faces when we came back as we were not able to fly like the red & white eagle above which looks like a human. So he demonstarted his version of flying in the car on the way back since he preffered taking the aerial route in the car to reach our hotel than by road.Now if you ask me how on earth we are still alive i just have 3 words....GOD is Great.

Wake me up when February goes......

February!!!!

Well the only month which cant make up its mind, shortest month of the year but tries to compete with itself by adding a 29th day in there. Being the shortest has its advantges for the working professionals, you work less and get paid two days in advance. Now thats why i always want every month to be a february just like i want every day to be a sunday. 

Now what is it like being born on 29th Feb? Does it mean you turn a year older only once in every four years or do you have to celebrate you birthday on 28th or the 1st of March. If thats the case you'ld have to remember two dates just to be safe. also if your gift didnt make much of an impression you could always produce another on the 1st of March.Or if you if you don't have the finances at the end of the month to buy a gift on 28th, which is most likely, you can always give the real gift on 1st of March once you get your pay.

Also February is not the best month to invest in stocks. so is Jan, March, April, May, June, July, August, Sep, Oct, Nov and Dec

To err is human, to forgive divine

If forgiving is divine, yes than I'm divine.

Lately I've been the forgiving kind.I seem to forgive everybody.

If somebody comes and pushes me to the ground i might as well say sorry on their behalf. See I forgive.

The other day My manager sends me a stinker mail for not sending out a particular mail to our client. As a matter of fact the next day he was supposed to do it and he forgets. What do i do? I forgive.

The other day i took a loan from one of my colleague. He comes and asks for the money. I couldn't repay him. I'm broke. What did i do...I forgive myself.

My Cab comes late when i really need to get to office. The driver throws attitude as if I'm late. What did i do.... I forgive

My Directors give me work when I'm about to leave for home and make me work extra hours almost daily. What do i do. I forgive.

Amidst all this My Supervisor gives Zero support. What do i do. I forgive.

My Supervisor sees this blog after a week. What would i do. I forgive him for reading this.

Trust me. You write "I forgive" 7 times . You will actually start forgiving.

Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone.

Date : Jan 29 - 21:55 - Mission - To board Kanyakumari Express to go to my home..sweet home.
22:00 - Train arrives . Board the train hoping to see a good looking female just opposite to my berth. But as bad luck would have it I get an elderly couple. Not the first time it has happened so I'm quite used to these kind of disappoinments. Anyways the story continues.

22.30 - No sign of TT and everybody is getting restless, nah, not to sleep but to go the bathroom because they didnt want to miss the TT when they are at the bathroom. Meanwhile confusion breaks out as to which berth to occupy. For the benefit of ppl who have not travelled in Trains recently ..Now there are 81 berths compared to 72 what we had before. confusion being which berth to occupy, the old system of numbering or the new system of numbering the seats.

22.45 - Still waiting for the TT. The babies start crying.even they are restless.

22.50 - Mom calls.even she is restless. wants to know if her only son boarded the train.

22.55- The TT finally arrives.ends the cofusion and asks us to follow the old numbering. proving time and again that the Railways are a confused lot themselves. Now why would u invest so much money on increasing the number of berths and not actually use it.

23:55 - People finally get a chance to go the bathroom and hit the berth. and like everybody else I also hit the berth.

00:35 - The train stops and I'm awaken by a loud roaring sound. and no prize for any guesses...its the person next to me snoring away to glory. and now since i was wide awake and my neighbour in train showing no signs of letting me sleep my thoughts began to wander...which led me to a question.. Why do People Snore??.. So i googled it and found the answer.

Vibrations of soft tissues located at the back of our throats cause the noisy, annoying sounds of snoring

The palate, uvula and tonsils are the tissue structures that flap against each other when someone has too much tissue at the back of their mouth or when an obstruction is blocking the air passageway to the back of the throat.

People with snoring problems tend to have one of the following conditions:
Poor muscle tone in the tongue and throat
Excessive bulkiness of throat tissue
Long soft palate and/or uvula tissue in the back of the mouth
Obstructed nasal airways

See, This blog is not just a waste of time. apart from ruining your day by reading this, it also imparts knowledge. hmmmm maybe i Should start thinking of a new name for my blog.

Anyways, Its not a Happy Ending altogether. Return Journey in a bus, I end up with a same fate . This time its a guy who should be younger to me, i guess, since he is still in college, and i thought only old people snore.

And for all the snorers out there including my buddy Vishnu, You rock, so you shoud just go ahead and join a rock band.

Doesnt make sense huh??... I guess i should just stick on with Waste of Time.
