Inheriting shoes

With this recession seem to be going on for ages, Kanikha finally cracked up & was all set for shopping on a fall sunday afternoon. She went completely berserk shopping that evening. Apart from the sale stuff, she got herself two exclusive branded office shoes.

That evening at home, she was so excited that she kept on trying her shoes & admiring them. Shakti her 4 years old was staring at her mom who was doing these crazy stunts with her new shoes walking around the house. She was surprised since she used to get time-out for walking in the living room with her shoes on. But that night was all different. Then Kanikha asked shakti whether she liked her shoes & comparing both of them what did she think was the best. Shakti replied with a beautiful smile that she liked both of them & they looked really good. For that Kanikha shot back immediately with her Indian instinct saying that don't worry, when you grow up, these shoes will be all yours...& Shakti was like WTF

December 19th,2008 Smoking Era

Yeah, He had his first cigarette.  All the preparation was done.  He made tea, looked at the balcony and checked the snow. Took the time by studying the cigarette as if he was the holding  it for the first time.  The bathroom's exhaust fan sound could be heard, where he was taking a look at himself in front of the mirror. Checking himself how he looked with the cigarette in his mouth and how he would hold the cigarette. This made him much more excited. 

While the tea was being made, he thought to himself whether he was going to smoke for the sake of fun or for his own pleasure.  The answer was not found. The urge to smoke was way back from April.  The reason he didn't smoke till date after this urge, was not just because there wasn't a chance but it was all about to find where this intention to smoke had to come from. He kept on asking himself whether it was because the loneliness, the people he knew, the movies, the society he moved in & out or was it a combination of all them.  

He coughed. He coughed continuously no matter whether it was a small or big drag of nicotine. Still it was exciting even when he felt the dizziness and enjoyed the cold out in the balcony along with his tea. He could taste the nicotine and even the smoke but wouldn't say he enjoyed it. 

He came inside, closed the balcony door and sat on the couch. He was expecting to answer himself after his first smoke whether he had missed this opportunity to start smoking a long while back and then decided he couldn't interpret nothing much from his first cigarette. The only point that he couldn't get to a conclusion was on differentiating whether he was blowing out smoke or was it just the air coming out from his mouth in the freezing cold.

Kanc Bypass

Kanc Bypass fall drive in White mountain was interesting to a certain point but could feel very often that i was in a stagnant muted condition. Okay... straight to the point...the bypass is around 32 miles and location is good but not the best drive to enjoy by just sticking into the car. Everything was fine apart from the actual drive for 30 miles that was irritating since it was monotonous. I just kept on driving rather than stopping and hiking out there in one of those trails or walking along the stream.


One good point was that the bypass was totally isolated from mom pop stores and not even a single gas station was seen around. Alright, i later figured out what went wrong as i always do only when im out of the situation. It was mainly since not even a single time during the trip we made a complete stop and stayed at a place for more than half an hour apart from lunch. My motive was to cover the entire 30 something miles but i didnt realize that it was a waste. I should have known better about me that to enjoy a trip is when I'm out off the car and gazing out entertaining rather than having my ass inside the car . They had numerous trails and a lot of unknown routes which looked worth exploring but were left unturned just by sheer arrogance so that I can show off to myself that i covered the whole area. I travelled with two friends. Swapna most of the time is cheerful to go out but this time she wasnt...maybe she was just not interested. I found this before we started off from home. Then there was Hema who was excited to go out rather than staying at home. There was a spot where we parked and walked for around 15 to 20 min which was nice. That was exciting. Anyway two things i should avoid when going on a trip like this is that I should not think of covering the entire trip by skipping the beautiful adventurous places and also should not just stay at a place for a few minutes for just a few clicks where as i should get settled there and get entertained. I will be definitely better off by just visiting a single place in the entire bypass. Maybe I should have split such a trip by covering two different places and exploring it out.

Accent! What else do I have to say?

I have a problem with the people who put in an accent in their regular conversation. This is a major problem for me apart from my panicky thing on whether i will make good love at first attempt. I imagine that the people who put up accent are always making up stories, don’t ask me why and you will find out soon. I don't want to state the previous sentence in a format where i think myself 'superior', which is because i don't want you to get the wrong perception of me being a hedonist. Also, make sure you don't expect any solution at the end of this page since it’s just a perception. Don't worry; I won't even leak a word to the government to pass a bill sort of thing. 

I have asked some friends on what's the reason for adding the accent part and the first deliberate answer comes from everyone is that it makes it easier to communicate. Don't you think that's bull crap? I do. They can state that as flamboyance still it shows they are not credible. I always want to ridicule people who have to talk with an accent but i know it will make me more ugly since i am not the honest Buddha guy.

Talking with people of that tribe or community should help developing an accent. But in the cases I have seen is that, they get acquired immediately, for no reason and I don’t know why. The dumbest and ridiculousness is that they hardly speak to the one where they can learn or develop it from. When they are trying to develop an accent, typically they get to talk with the particular tribe people mostly at work with its already sugarcoated corporate globalize language. The common part what the native people will encourage others to get acquired is the lingo of the community. Say like a particular community will enjoy the new crowd saying 'god bless you' even though most of them realize that it has no meaning for existence however you adapt it and start saying it. This is acknowledgeable since the lingo type sounds more like a mannerism. 

I think those who speak with an accent think they sound very good among themselves and cool around their group or others. And no stupid fucking way they are like that.

History: It is very rare that I remember something, which I can immediately correlate with what I am thinking at present. But this is one of the good times i can recall an episode to justify where the accent related problem started. I went for a haircut with Arvind, one of the dude I was with in madras. As usual talk going on, he asked me whether I had noticed people are talking/trying with different accents around us. I said not really, i have not thought about it. He then pointed out a few names and asked me whether I found anything different in their accent. I immediately picked up a name and found out he had brought up the topic for that name. I was happy enough to find out that guy accent but that he was one among us, which made it kind of sad... anyway I was okay with it. That how I remember it started and I’m still not out of it.

Okay.. back to reality. I don't know why I'm so bothered about others accent. I think about it and it makes me feel kind of an irritation since they are not being themselves (don't worry i wont call them hypocrites).  I even thought what if i could be jealous by the way they are talking, so sophisticated?  No damn way I will envy the way they are. They suck big time. If you wanted to be sophisticated accent, then you should concentrate on you’re grammatical or whatever literature skill we are meant to acquire. If you are reading this and think you have a accent which you completely developed it as days went by then, its me and you, know want kind of accent you have. 

Overall, I get an understanding that the accent is mainly developed since they think its some kind of expectation from others when they mover around.  It continues around and spills into their blood.

I am not saying this is as a big type of issue like where people should start talking about this, once they finish talking about the war. I am writing this because its getting over my head, can't tolerate people who I used to know are adding this accent and I want see where I stand on this after finish writing this piece (i dare not call it a piece like a composition/orchestra). Its been a while since I have spoke about this to the few friends i have around and i am writing this since I want to pitch in just the opinion i have in myself rather than sugarcoating it, like the people who add in the wannabe accent they have.  

It's me who’s finding the difference on others and I hope seeing in some other way. I can't help noticing it. I am going to stay in this opinionated way until someone (everyone) shows what I am missing.
