The ‘Shee’ter

My office looks more like a college campus. I wonder why it was so? Some moron probably thought it would be such a great idea to hire fresh out of college people so that they can save on the salaries. They will work for pittance, right? Well, that may be true but it is hell to be surrounded by smelly, little idiots whoc giggle and chuckle at evrything. So the other one girl-idiot(technically she is a woman, anything above 20 is an adult, eh?) started screaming at the top of her voice “Sheee”. I was amazed. OMG! What the fuck? She went “Sheee…you dont cut your nails really do you? You know you do eat with those hands, dont you? Sheeeeee…sheeeee…sheeeeee.” This she was addressing it to another woman. OMG! How odd was that. Here was a fully grown woman yelling these right in the middle of atleast 50 people(and all 50  could hear her) in the office . Sheeeeeeeee. Indeed.

Whew! am so bummed

You know your workplace sucks when most people particularly your bosses have tired faces, and you would give anything to avoid any interaction with them. Frankly I cant quite understand why people indulge in misery and expect others to worhip misery as much as they do. They look like shit. They talk shit and shit personifies them or may be they personify shit. Either way, you know you are butt-fucked the minute you seee the people around you. They are tense, irritable and behave like the sky id going fall off the minute they relax. Most of the time it is not the individual character that is at fault, it’s the organiztion and work culture that they are forced to adhere to.  But I know there isnt a thing I can do about it. Just gonna have to bucth and take it out whatever the shit that is flunged at me.

The white tiger

The white tiger (adiga’s booker winner) is what I am reading right now.  I was not expecting anything much really. Booker winners have insanely complex sentences which just suck out all the joy of a good reading.  But not this one. This one’s no Salman Rushdie thankfully. It’s more of a Arundhati Roy, I mean it has much simpler language and I am reading this like one of those ‘page-turners’. A rather dark novel. About the people on the other of India. The Darkness. Probably a bit exaggerated. But then I havent lived in Delhi and employed a driver to know that. Bangalore drivers have quite an attitude I think. Whatever, it does make a compelling story. And ofcourse it has all these silly little peculiar things about our country and our cuntry men, which is quite amusing, so to speak. A dark story told in a very light way. Infact so light, you might almost miss the entire point- The Darkness that is. A great choice for a booker winner.  Now if only they would take back some of those bookers from Salman, I wouldnt complain.

Cant wait for 3G

Would 3G be the next big thing? I cant wait to see how it’s gonna turn out? I am not quite satisfied with the speed of gprs, edge stuff we have right now. Now that 3G will probably be available some time early next year here in India, I am very excited. Hope I wont be dissapointed.  And that I will be able to post tiny blogs any giiven moment. I get all these blog ideas like 5 times a day and then I loose all interest coz I dont have a pc at hand at that monent.

Dharmendra – the alpha

Let’s apply evolutionary psychology to our Bollywood biggies, shall we?

Now, Dharmendra is a clear winner aplpha. He not only took on a second woman Hema(not sure whether they married), but he also fathered two kids. Most importantly he chose a woman who could have his kids with all that plump, curvy body she sported those days. She certainly had some child bearing hips. His masculine, healthy sperm was all Heema was after, so they soon drifted apart. He had done his job of being the sperm donor and Hema being quite rich and resourceful herself didnt really need him anymore. Classic Evolutionary Psychology.

Let’s take Amitabh. Now clearly he is an aplha in terms of how suceesful he is. But evolutionary psychology dismisses him. Sure he was doing a second woman Rekha, back in those days. But she aint really a good choice. Poor thing Rekha. She had some serious existential problems. And while she dwelt on them, her eggs probably dried up. No kids, No doughnut. Sorry Amitji evolutio0nary Psychology says you made a beta choice of picking out some dried up eggs.  :-(

The true taste of corporate life..
