Why??

Why

• Do people try to impose their opinion on others?
• Are people hypocritical?
• Do they bug other's happiness when they know that the other person is not interested?
• Do people have very short memory when it comes to success?
• Do the TV channels show the same Movie over and over?
• and How do people never get tired of watching the same masala movies umpteen times?
• Codes work perfectly just until the night before a major release?
• Can't people understand that the whole of South India is not just Andhra Pradesh?
• Is it difficult for bachelors to find apartments for rent in a place where there is more unmarried population?
• Do people drive a car, which can carry 6, all alone and congest the roads?
• Do people in India not follow traffic rules?
• Doesn't Google have a Linux version of GTalk?
• IT HAS TO BE LIKE THIS???

Wish You Were Here

Been tripping lately on the song Wish You Were Here. Floydian lyrics at its magical best. Such a misunderstood song IMHO. Simple tune, yet so captivating.

The Line "Did you exchange, a Walk on part in a war, for the lead role in a cage." has been giving me goosebumps.

A Random Check

I was walking back to the apartment after work the other day. At the junction near my apartment, a few policemen were present. It seemed like they were there to stop the vehicles and then demand money from motorists for some reason or the other. How was I wrong!! One guy held me by my hand and dragged me towards them

Police : Where are you going??
Me : Back to my flat Sir
P : What do you do?
Me : I am an IT professional
P : Open your bag and show whats inside
Me : (Opened my bag and showed them)
P : Show your ID Card
Me : Sir, our company doesnt give ID cards. I can show you my Voter's ID Card.
P : Ok, show
(I take out the card and show him.)
P : This looks like a Xerox xopy
Me : No Sir, this is the original. I was given this
P : What is the other language besides English on the card?
Me : Thats Malayalam Sir, I belong to Kerala
P : Why isn't it printed in Hindi? Is Kerala outside India??
Me : **WTF look**
P : Ok, I m leaving you this time.
Me : **WTF look again and walked away**......

Out of Service

Something weird happened today. I'd gone to withdraw money at the ATM. There are quite a few ATMS in our locality and IDBI's was the only one where there was no one. The Machine prompted me to enter the PIN, amount to withdraw etc etc.

And here is the fun part. After the cash came out, a message was flashed on the screen. "The ATM is temporarily out of service. Inconvenience is regretted".

A true WTF moment!!
