2009, Oh 2009!

Things that I learnt in 2009:

• Aamir Rocked in Ghajini!
• Kolkata Knight Riders Don’t.
• Life is Monotonous.
• Life is Crazy.
• Life is interesting. (Only on a certain occasions..)
• Or always?
• FC Barcelona are not from this planet.
• Shahrukh is obsessed with his work. He needs to rest.
• New age Cinema Is Dev. D. Or is it Wake Up Sid? Or Rocket Singh?
• Slumdog Millionaire did not deserve the 7-8 [I am not sure how many it got]Oscars it got.
• Or did it?
• Board Exams can be nerve-wrecking.
• I can do well in the Board Exams. Could still have done better than I did. Shit!
• Social-Networking is not my life.
• Or is it? (Fuck!..)
• Love can be tough, and hard to sustain.
• ‘Love’ itself.
• I have changed for the better. Changed what though?
• Parents can sometimes be a Pain in the ass.
• Parents are God. Or Gods? (Grammar, dumb-asses?)
• Rooney is better than Ronaldo as a person.
• As a footballer too!
• I am destined to achieve something ‘Big’. I have known this for a long time. But how to achieve that? (Tell me? Anyone?)
• It is damn difficult to adjust to new surroundings.
• I am born for something Better. Probably, the Best!
• U2 are the Best Band in the world.
• Green day are the second Best band in the world. Or Coldplay?
• Pritam Rocks!
• A virus can ruin your life. Ditto for Malwares, Spywares.
• I befriend people very fast. When my mood is right i.e.
• I am a Footie freak. Re: My Twitter Account.
• I am Me.
• I love you.
• Physics is tough. As is Chemistry.
• Even 32 GB of memory in my Mobile is not enough for me.!
• Some films should just remain a Trailer.
• 3 Idiots is not FPS [for starters its Five Point Someone]. I mean its not a complete adaptation of the Book.
• India does not need the bifurcation and trifurcation of states. We do not need Telengana! We do not!
• I ask way too many questions. I also answer them myself.
• India needs to pull up its socks to organize a successful Commonwealth Games.
• Hindi Music is still melodious. Case in point, Tum Mile.
• Salman can still kick everybody’s arse when he is in his mood. Case in point, Wanted.
• Guy Ritchie can make anything cool.
• Avatar is the Movie of the Decade. Period. PERIOD!
• But The Hurt Locker is the Movie of the Year. (I am such a jackass)
• Tiger Woods is not my idol.
• I don’t change my idols every week. Seriously don’t.
• I am bad.
• I am good.

Okay. So as you might have already noticed, I am still as dysfunctional as I was. I still need to learn a lot of things. I am still not sure if I learned anything at all in 2009. It was the strangest year of my life, by far.

Enough! Peace now!

Yours Sincerely

Things That Have Annoyed Me Recently

I know, nobody out there is just DYING to read my latest list of annoyances. Admit it no one, this list has just made your day!

• My Class Teacher. She should retire.
• The Docomo Friendship Express advertisement. I want to slap everyone in that advertisement.
• The idiots exercising on the treadmill beside me who refuse to look the other way while I’m punching in my weight.
• People who do not understand hygiene and the value of cleaning up. In Kolkata, thats like 99% of the population. Is it a wonder I am bad tempered?
• People who have not stopped about raving about how 2012 would be a really great movie. Some even believe that the world will actually end in 2012. What the Ef?
• Indian Government Officials – atleast the ones I deal with.
• Delta air hostesses who talk loudly when the lights are down. Nobody wants to hear about you, just let people sleep.
• Relatives who only call to get the dirt on you.
• Women who are wealthy dress tastelessly. Think fur, think satin, think sequins, think capes – ALL together. Women please look into the mirror before you buy. You dont have to buy it just because it cost a bajillion dollars, it needs to look GOOD on you.
• Women who get married in a rush and then make a mess of it and refuse to listen. I have seen many women like this.
• When l I meet really well educated people from USA who have no clue where Calcutta is, never mind that a person of similar educational background from say Chile, not only knows Calcutta but also has read Indian literature. Self-Pride at its Best. America Rocks, though!
• Friends who stay abroad, forget your existence until they need you to do something for their dependents who are in dirty, smelly, awful India.
• People who study with you, cracking spiteful jibes and thinking they can get away with it. Hmm… well, like I say, if you’re an asshole, you will smell eventually. Also, burning bridges is not very smart.
• People not understanding the value of reading newspapers daily.
• The idiot who tore off a page from my beloved Slam Book. Die asshole! Die!
• The born donkeys and cows who park all over my lane to get their booze.
• Pedestrians who cant see an approaching car or understand the value of pavements.
• Not being online much. I fucking miss everybody so much. It would get tougher still. Woosh!
• Sprite Zero.
• Not getting the iPhone 3GS here in India. When is it fucking launching here?
• Life.
