Hmmm 42 crores .

Who would donate 42 crores in INR to a religious institution as jewelery ? Not a very smart person  , nor a very progressive person . One of the ministers from our states poorest districts can . What is most appalling is that he didn't give to charity , he didn't give to his constituency (which helped him get where is he is now) . Blind faith ! from a minister . Hope he doesn't take other decisions this way . 

 Well now what is TTD going to give away as charity if they have 42 crore as a humongous crown for the Lord ? There goes the argument saying TTD will do something in return as charity .

 As a manner of speaking 42 crores for now fixed for the next hundred years as unmovable jewelry in the unfathomable depths of the TTD treasury . What is the tax dept doing ? If they can tax a guy who wins just a crore on a game show why can't they tax TTD ? Why aren't the pesky television channels asking these questions ? Why am i asking these questions ?  

The namma Bangalore debate

All the hullabaloo about the metro , cutting trees i think it can very well perpetuate into the next decade . The people who planned the metro would have definitely been more than welcome for suggestions during the planning than during the execution , i pray . As for the defiant protesters , we all know how badly our city needs the " Namma metro " . So i think we should all take progressive steps towards development . Besides , I think little of their signature campaigns , it won't even scratch the surface . What they could do , is start planting samplings in other area's where there won't be a metro . I believe by the time the metro is completed(Given our govt's record if completing projects) we can still have the same number of trees in Bangalore . Also the metro is aimed at bringing down pollution In the city. ( As a whole the carbon footprint will remain more or less the same , i guess) The metro as of now is aimed the garden city a little more greener . Try and supplement it . 

Funny ad - criticism

Caught the New CBZ extreme ad on tv recently ?? With a special warning that the stunts shouldn't be reapeated , it made me feel that the guys at the ad-agency think we are deranged of the mind . Cuckoo , thats what they think we are !! The graphics are in infancy and stunts childish . 

And oh if your planning to base jump and ride off on a bike .

WEAR THE HELMET BEFORE JUMPING . 

I thot base-jumping needs you to keep your parachute half open when jumping ? 

STOP RIDING IF THERE IS AN EARTHQAUKE or a  TORNADO or BOTH . 

COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON BOTH WHEELS . 

DON'T FORGET TO TAKE THE KEYS MORON . 

IF THERE ARE SEXY GIRLS AROUND THE BIKE TAKE THEM ALONG FOR THE RIDE :)

The Tagline , '' LIFE AWAITS THOSE WHO LIVE OFF THE EDGE " is boring and meaningless . 

Bore Hell !

Here I am , All bleary eyed , unbrushed teeth , staring at a monitor at 7AM on a Sunday morning after my third set of screwing tests . I'm in a vexed mood . Very . There are loud jarring noises  which woke me up . Nobody gets angry for a little noise on a Sunday morning . Besides its 7 AM anyone has the right to start working their f%*(ing heavy equipment .

Yes it is , as it has become inevitable these days to start a construction without it , a bore well is being dug . Another bloody bore well . I'm at best , an optimist . Now definitely not . 

Every plot as a bore well these days . And the plots have been fractured , divided and disintegrated as they have been passed on from generation to generation . On my street , I think every 10 meters you walk in any direction will take you past another one of these holes in the ground . Bad . 

Not so long ago there was a " hue and cry " raised about about Yediyur lake . The government in all its Brilliance , Yes in a rare show of environmental friendliness , rejuvenated the Lake . Not just this one , most of the really polluted ones in and around Bangalore . Soon after the so called clean-up process every body waited for it to fill up again . It rained . They waited . It rained some more . The government waited . It poured . We all  waited . Finally during the monsoon 1-1/2 years after the beautification process , did Yediyur get filled with water again . I believe the water table and the Yediyur lake are reticulated with more than just the water . 

I make the prophecy that Yediyur will be dry someday . Doesn't sound impossible . All the water sucked out of it by all the holes in mother earth's bosom . 

All is not so bad you say , we have catchment areas . Where ? Lal Bagh and KR park . Is it enough to keep all the surrounding bore wells watered ? The parks are indeed swamped all around by this humongous city with its holes . 

I heard BWSSB going for Cauvery satge IV . We have already squandered the Cauvery . 

Aah a hot cup of coffee . And the din . Bore wells here sometimes go dry in the summer , think its a harbinger of harm . In our 8Th standard text book I remember studying about a city in Mexico . Parts of the city just imploded into the ground , because of ground water was depleted to such an extent , that the earth couldn't support the weight of the city ! God forbid Bangalore from having a similar fate .

All the narrow minded people reading this have already formed strong opinions in thy minds . If i put one more Bore well whats wrong ? Whats your problem ? Don't you have one ? 

I think the Government should step in when the time is calling with some regulation , as cliched as it might sound . For all the whole community , including my bore well too . We have to stop this mindless drilling , or mother will stop it for us .

ZEN from a 20 year old

Its a dogs world . People bitching , back stabbing and doing other lowly things to get ahead in this rat race academics . But what i'm saying is don't bother , because on a personal level it really doesn't matter . Just enjoy whatever your doing academic , non academic , legal or illegal , thats the key to happiness . Somebody is searchin for internships so you lose sleep over it , run around plead with them to part with thier secrets and you also end up trying for it , alas it all goes in vain . So why all the trouble ? Relax , if there is something in you worth a job , people will give you a job . Instead of taking time off from doing what you loved the most , because of someone else believed in internships , you did things that you never really enjoyed or wanted to do . Why ? 

Your soul is lost , its wandering and is searching for a mooring in someone elses ideas and beliefs . Do your thing . Ask yourself what you want to do , Go full steam ahead . Heresay never got anybody anywhere . As for the internship forget it , be happy your friend got it . In the long run one internship never made a huge career . Charecter is what really makes or breaks people . And that an internship i bet won't give . 

I really don't know how many of you would take zen from a 20 year old , but this is what happened and I felt lik saying it so the blog .
