On my last night on earth,

I won't look to the sky

Just breathe in the air and blink in the light

On my last night on earth,

I'd pay a high price To have no regrets and be done with my life

Are We a Country Full of Perverts

2012-01-30T04:18:00.000-08:00

Are we a country full of Perverts? Is Women safe in our country? I should not generalize but with what’s happening around everyday it’s really tough not to. Is something wrong with our social system, because it’s not a rare situation? Read the newspaper, it’s full of how sick we are. Reading such news makes me ashamed to be a part of the so-called the most advance species in the planet ‘human being’, it’s even more embarrassing to be living in such a country.

We (Indians) have excelled in so many non- physical fields like science, computer, art and so on but we have a long way to go when it comes to social advancement. To top it, we were the ones who created Kamasutra but what went wrong in between?

Imprisonment is not enough for such offenders. Death is the only punishment fit for such crime and that too not an easy death like shot in the head or lethal injection. Its should be like that video somewhere in the Middle East where the offender was beheaded in Public.

The above news were published in Times of India and The Hindu yesterday.

2012 So Far!

2012-01-24T03:15:00.000-08:00

How is 2012 treating me so far? Compared to years before, 2012 is picking up very slow for me. Things are not shaping the way I have planned. My struggle against alcohol is not helping either. No, I don’t want to quit alcohol! I just want to restrict my drinking to weekends only (a big sorry to all the bars in Delhi). BTW, Delhi nightlife must be the most boring in the world and Delhi Nightclubs, it’s even worse. Am so tired of hanging out in joints with nonsense Bollywood songs. Do you know any pub in Delhi who plays rock, blues or jazz music.

Though my life is at its most boring, Bollywood is buzzing up like a bee hive right after it’s been poked by a stick. Oprah Winfrey's visit to India seems to be the reason for the entire buzz. I sincerely hope Oprah will take more from India than just pictures of her with some kids from the slum. India has so much to offer, celebrities prefer to have their pictures published in various newspapers and magazines only with slum kids. It’s like all they want to show the world is how compassionate they are but are they really?

Blame the above rant to my fight with alcoholism. But my frustration has to come out in one way or the other and I am thankful that it’s getting channeled through this blog post.

Oh Yeah, some pictures from this year:

The Republic Day is on 26 of Jan. The above picture are some kind of a special battalion of Army who travels in Camel. I believe they are from Rajasthan preparing for the Parade which will happen in India Gate.

It really was a cool sight. I wonder if they rode their camels all the way from where they are coming.

A street performer outside my office. I watched the entire show but I had to sneak out just before the end of the show because I forgot my wallet inside my work station.

Two weeks back I went to this Music Store '440 HZ' in Lajpath Nagar Central Market to buy a China Cymbal and i saw this cute puppy napping. Did you noticed that this puppy has only three paws.

Family Bikers - Taking Biking to a New Level

2012-01-16T04:40:00.001-08:00

You must have heard of biker gangs like the Hells Angels, the Bandidos and the Mongols Motorcycle Club, on the lighter side there are also mountain bikers who loves biking in mountain terrains, there are those extreme bikers who jumps and flies through obstacles in their motor bikes. In short there are thousands of ways how a motorcycle can be used. There are also different kinds of bikers. But have you heard of Family Bikers.

Family Bikers are a new breed of bikers commonly found in Asian countries like India, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Nepal and Cambodia. Though it may look pretty safe but they are the most extreme of all bikers. Let me not speak for all the countries but at least in India they are the most adventurous and the most extreme bikers I’ve seen.

No, family Bikers don’t ride in Harley’s or race bikes. Their rides are normally very basic, in most case it’s a 150 cc bike but the extreme part is, in a bike big enough for two, you will find the whole family cruising through the busy streets. It can be just the father and two other kids or it can be the whole family (dad, 3 kids and the wife).

Why Family Biking is the most extreme form of biking? These riders don’t give a damn to safety, plus the whole families participate and besides the person controlling the bike no other rider will wear helmets.

Cruising the Streets of Delhi - Family Biker Way

A Family Biker Gang -Observer the Number of Riders

Helmets - Family Bikers Don't Need Helmets. Women and kids skulls don't get crushed.

Word of Advice: Take an Auto rickshaw or call a cab, its not that expensive.

Happy New Year! The Random Post Starts Again

2012-01-09T03:33:00.000-08:00

Thank god, the whole Christmas and New Year celebration is over. Although it’s been more than a week, the excitement is still fresh. May be it’s because of the many unfulfilled plans I have been planning for the whole year. But that’s ok, am happy that the nine days in the New Year has been nothing less than awesome. Firstly we auditioned for a vocalist for the band yesterday and he was exactly what we were looking for (100% Old School Thrash Metal). Secondly, for some unknown reason my apartment is so clean, though it’s been more than a week since I’ve cleaned it. Normally it takes just two days to bring my apartment to a stable situation. Thirdly, I haven’t been to a bar in Delhi till today and I have cut down on all the stuff that gets me high. Getting high here does not mean ‘high on life’, ‘high on work’ or ‘high on love’. Seriously, if you get high on life, then you have never experience the real high. Last but not the least, this time my office people decided to use a different kind of balloons (I’ll get back to this later) for the Christmas and New Year decoration.

Some pictures of my office with the new (decent), non-vulgar balloons:

The female population in my office can now walk around without giggling or feeling embarrassed with the new balloons around.

Even the guys can cruise inside the office without comparing themselves with the New Balloons. Less distraction, more productivity.

Even the Santa feels more comfortable with the New Balloons around.

New Year's Day Walk of Shame! Not for Me!

Coming to the New Year’s Day walk of shame, it’s nothing new. Everyone have experience the walk of shame. But this year’s New Year’s Day way back to my apartment was very enjoyable, may be because it didn’t drank that much. Bad hangover and dehydration mixed with spine chilling cold weather equals to ‘Not a Smart Way to Start your New Year’.

A kid trying to change the lane with his bike.

A Rickshaw puller still asleep. It was freaking cold and it was a sad sight to see . These are one of those moments when you realize how lucky and fortunate you are, no matter how much you carp about your job or life. At least we have a home to shelter from the cold, rain and heat.

The dude in the donkey walked past me and it was quite a sight. Commuting on a donkey in Delhi traffic, must be an experience. But this dude is moving at a much faster rate than me because he doesn't have to stop at red lights and he can squeeze out from anywhere he wants.

What I’ve learned this holiday season: You enjoy more when you get high less.

Doubt’s I have from this Holiday Season: Does this mean that am getting old and I don’t have what it takes to party really hard???????????

Coming back to the office balloon, well here’s the thing. In all out last office festival decorations, they have used a certain kind of balloons to decorate the entire office which look very festive on the first and the second day. But come third day, the air inside the balloons starts getting out and it looks more like a penis. I have some pictures to prove but the balloons looks to vulgar and am worried that BlogSpot might ban me thinking I have started posting pornographic pictures in my blog.

Letting it out

2011-12-28T00:46:00.000-08:00

How was my Christmas? It was cute. We all managed to drag ourselves home with our own two feet without any external aid. Nothing wild, stupid or crazy, it was just a simple dinner with friends, followed by light drinks and a bit of gambling. It was cute. How was yours?

Coming back to the main topic of this post, here are the top 5 news revolving around me at the moment.

News 1: I guess I might be an alcoholic. What made me realize this? Well, it’s been a while am having lunch in this bar and if its dinner I have point but what the hell am I doing in a bar 12 in the noon. Every Sunday I buy alcohol for the whole week but somehow I manage to drink them by Wednesday. Am so dependent on alcohol that I need a vodka shoot every morning before shower and another shoot before breakfast. I guess it’s time I evaluate how am living my life.

News 2: This news is freaking hilarious. There is a certain girl in my office who is super pissed with a fellow co-workers for some undisclosed reason. They have reached the no talking point and the complete ignoring each other’s presence. This certain girl recently went to her friend list to remove this certain guy but the guy has already removed her from his list. It was somehow like that phrase’ the hunter becomes the hunted’.

I seriously don’t understand why people get so personal at work place. I don’t give a damn what other co-workers are doing or dealing with or think about me. For me it’s doing my stuff and getting paid for that. People always come up to me and complain about them getting ignored by other people and who they are ignoring. Well I too have a complain, please stop talking to me.

At work, am like a magnet that attracts motor mouths, free advice givers, polymathic dudes, braggers, grumbler and insecure guys. The fun part is, there is a certain dude who has all the qualities. From today I have decided, if any one with the above qualities shows up or the guy with all these quality shows up, am going to say it straight in his face ‘Shut the fuck up’!!!!

News 3: My office people decided to start our own office rock band. Unfortunately the band broke up even before it was formed. The reason is jealousy. I don’t get it because these guys started bitching about each other how sloppy the other guy is with the guitar when they have not even seen each other playing.

News 4: This is a public service request to everyone staying in New Delhi to donate old sweaters, jackets, shawls, blankets or anything to keep a poor homeless person warm. In the first month of winter itself, over 100 people lost their lives to the cold. I have donated some old blankets to a homeless family living close to my home and I would request everyone to do so.

News 5: World Hindu Council has started protesting against the certain Russian city’s decision to ban Bhagvad Gita by burning an effigy representing Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. The verdict on whether to ban Bhagvad Gita is today.

Well, these are the top 5 news around me at the moments. I’ve got some news but I think it’s not worth mentioning. After all who wants to hear about the free porn site I discovered, that Rihanna’s song which got download to my Iphone by mistake and me loving that song, me losing my pineapple flavored Del Monte juiceginity yesterday and my obsession for Modern Family, Rules of Engagement and my crush on Christa Miller after watching cougar Town, the list goes on and on and on…..

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

2011-12-23T07:52:00.000-08:00

Hi,

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. Have a blessed holiday.

Crazy Romeo! Dirt Cheap Indian Rum

2011-12-21T00:05:00.000-08:00

Did you read the news? For me the top news right now is:

The Hindu community is furious over the issue to ban Bhagwad Gita, one of the holiest books in the Hindu religion in Siberia, Russia. Who won’t be? If they were to ban Bible even I would react in the same way.

The North Koreans are mourning over the dead of their fairytale leader Kim Jong-il. But how come he is dead, I thought he was send straight from heaven. By reading the history about his birth with the light from the sky, the multiple rainbows appearing and what not, he is no less than any god. But no matter what the world says how cruel and selfish he was but this dude did enjoy his life. I read it in a newspaper that Kim Jong-il had a troupe of some 2,000 dancing girls who were recruited during their teens from various schools and the group was divided into three teams, a “satisfaction team”, whose sole job was sexual services; the “happiness team for massage and the entertainment team who would entertain guest with choreographed stripteases. But the visitors had access to entertainment team alone. No matter what the world says about him, he did enjoy his life.

The Polymathic guy in my office who comes to my seat everyday to give free advice on almost every possible topic which I have no interest, from music to software’s, from cars to rockets and from how to impress girls to where to find good bars in Delhi and the list goes on and on… God i hate people who gives out free advice and unfortunately India is a country known for free advice. Everyone here is an expert.

Of all the news, my top 1 news is the Christmas party this weekend. In fact we have already started the celebration with some really cheap rum.

Yeah i know the name is lame. Who names a bottle of Rum 'Crazy Romeo'. This rum is dirt cheap. Its just 200 rupees for a liter that's around $4.

I don't have any obsession for cheap rum but am too clever to drink expensive alcohols. Whether its a cheap or a super expensive bottle of rum, the drunken state is always the same. its just a matter of five minutes because after that any drinks taste good.

Oh yeah, the bonfire. My landlord has some old furniture kept in the terrace which are beyond repair, so we decided to light a bonfire in the terrace. Bonfire+cheap rum in hot water = fun, fun, fun.

My buddies enjoying the bonfire and showing off 'Crazy Romeo'.

Delhi: A City Full of Surprises

2011-11-30T00:04:00.000-08:00

My 40 minutes cab ride to office is never boring. Everyday there is something new. Someday I’ll have a cab driver who can’t stop bragging about himself, someday it will be a co-worker who can’t stop giving free advice (Yeah, in India people love to give free advice, the entire country is known for that), someday I’ll get a cab with a jammed door on one side and a window which I can’t roll up on the other side, someday there will be a protest (yeah, we love to protest, in fact some will protest for the long traffic jam, some will protest because of the hike in bus fare, some will even protest if the government lower the price of the bus fares) someday there will be a marriage procession going on, someday there will be people fighting just for a small scratch on their car (Delhiites will have the shortest fuse in the world and people are super frustrated here) and someday you will come across such sights, which you cant simply ignore.

This dude was walking leisurely in the middle of the road without giving a damn to anyone. By looking at him I can somehow feel what he must be thinking (Read slowly with a deep, bassy voice) WTF guys, move, move move .. . I have a date with a super sexy elephant.

Diwali, An Indian Festival Partly Made in China

2011-11-18T04:02:00.000-08:00

Diwali was last month and its one of my favorite festivals. Fascinatingly, it looks and feels more like a battlefield rather than a festival as the whole city lights up with fireworks. If you by any chance fly across any major Indian cities on this night, your first impression would be ‘Oh Shit, the city is on Fire’.

It’s really a fun festival, when even the oldest and the weirdest building look glamorous with all the decoration and fancy lights.

Blame me but, Diwali is kind of funny to me. You wanna know why? All these buildings will be dressed up in multi-colored fancy lights made in China and most of these lights come with pre-recorded songs and sounds which are mostly Christmas Songs (jingle bells). In a way, Diwali is an Indian festival made in China with Christian soundtrack. If you ever plan to visit India, I would suggest coinciding your visit during the Diwali which happen last of October or first week of November.

Streets light up with Neon lights

Stairs to my Apartment. Someone took all the trouble to lit up the entire stairs of my apartment with diyas (an earthen oil lamp). On a regular day, my apartment stairs looks more like a haunted place where anything horrible can happen.

View of my Apartment Stairs from the Terrace. Thank you, Mr/Ms/Mrs unknown who took all the trouble to lit up our crappy building.

Fireworks - Please don't sing that Katy Perry Song

Kids living next door going nuts in the terrace.

Fireworks

More Fireworks

This is my favorite shoot from that night.

Pictures of Delhi - Its tough to get bored here!

2011-11-07T06:20:00.000-08:00

I have said this before and I’ll say it now, ‘It’s very tough to get bored in Delhi’. The crowd, the sound and the smell which blends perfectly with the flamboyant lifestyle of the locals and the diverse ethnicity and the culture makes Delhi so unique. Compare to other western cities, Delhi is at least 5 steps behind major Western cities in terms of infrastructure, entertainment, economy and so on. But what we have over here is natural entertainment, which you will find it everywhere.

Take a cruise around the city; the streets are full of contrast. You will find bullock carts stuck in traffic jams along with BMW and Mercedes cars, a slum on one side and a top notch shopping mall on the other and of course those Indian cars like Maruti 800 with BMW and Ferrari logo. Seriously it’s very tough to get bored in Delhi.

I don’t deny the fact that most people, especially Westerners might find Delhi’s chaotic ambiance frightening but the trick to enjoy this city is to come with an open mind and be prepared to expect the unexpected. If I were to give out travel tips, all I have to say is go foot loose and yeah, girls dress conservatively.

Here are some random pictures of Delhi. Enjoy!!!!

Chariot owner decorating his Chariot, most probably on his way to a wedding. In India, the groom always arrive in a horse drawn Chariot. Keeping the Fairytale tradition alive.

Factory workers enjoying their lunch bought from rickshaws. Taking the meaning of Al fresco dining to a whole new level, Delhi Style.

School children returning from school. You think your kids school bus is not safe enough.

Delivering the Goods. Wanna know what goods they are carrying. It was loaded with whiskey.

Making Chole Batura, one of Delhi's favorite street foods. These food are super delicious but its also super unhygienic.

Metallica in Delhi is cancelled

2011-10-28T10:17:00.000-07:00

What was supposed to be the event of this era turned fuckish when the show organizers pulled of the concert because of some certain technical problems. Hell yeah, am talking about tonight’s Metallica concert in Delhi. I have been waiting for this concert for a long time along with almost thirty thousand metal heads.

First they postpone the show and now they have cancelled the show altogether. I know why they have to cancel the show and it’s because the crowd went on a rampage. But the crowd action was pretty much justified. A friend of mine was outside the venue since last night. He told me that Metallica came for sound check 3 in the morning. It was not just one guy there were people coming in from different states and even from nearby countries to see the show. It was really frustrating. The crowd reaction was pretty much justified.

The confusing part was, they announced that the show has been postponed just one hour before the show and Metallica was still in their hotel. I have this feeling that it was not because of some technical snag but because of some management problem. The Metallica crew did manage to take out all the equipments before the announcement but whatever equipments that were left got fucked big time. Am not even sure whether Metallica concert for Bangalore is still on or not.

The screwed up part is Metallica in Delhi is cancelled. According to some news source DNA guys will refund the money.

One Day to Metallica Live in Delhi

2011-10-27T02:28:00.000-07:00

(UPDATE:Metallica in Delhi is cancelled)

Finally…We just have one more day to go. Hell yeah, I am talking about the Metallica concert in Delhi. This has to be the best news for 2011. I have never imagined even in my wildest dream that I would get to see Metallica playing live. Dreams do come true.

It’s such a bad news that they are out of Metallica concert tickets for Delhi. How can someone be so disorganized. We know the turn out for Iron Maiden Concert in Bangalore. How in the world they did not planned this accordingly. It’s really sad to see so many metal heads running here and there to grab Metallica concert tickets.

I hope that the tickets will be available for sale in the venue.

Guys see you at Leisure Valley Tomorrow. Don’t forget to wear your uniform (torn jeans + Black Metallica T-shirts). After all you don’t get to dress up in your uniform everyday.
People of Gurgaon are in for a shock tomorrow. Watching some twenty to thirty thousand dudes with long hair will be such a cultural shock for them. They do see the occasional metal heads like me with long hair, torn jeans and metal shirt but seeing some thousand dudes like me will be a shock.

Have a blast and bang your head till it roll off……..

Pictures of Metal Shows In New Delhi

2011-10-25T03:24:00.000-07:00

We just have two days to go for Metallica in India and the Delhi metal scene couldn’t be better. Some two years back, we hardly used to have metal shows, during those times if we get to see a show once in a month that was pretty awesome as most months goes without even a single metal gig in Delhi. Today, Delhi is hosting metal shows almost every night, at least four in a week. Though I have to drag my ass to work five days a week, still I manage to catch a show or two in a week. This month I’ve managed to see three metal shows, including an international band, ‘Sylosis’, a British heavy metal band in IIT Delhi blitzkrieg 2011. The best part is, I’ll be closing this month with Metallica in New Delhi. I can’t think of a better way to end the month than watching Metallica live in New Delhi.

Circus Playing Tribute to Nirvana Nevermind 20th anniversary at Hard Rock Cafe New Delhi

The Circus: They are a groovy bunch

The Harley Rock Riders Grand Finale 2011, Talkatora Stadium

Circus played a pretty decent show. But Split stole everyone's thunder that night.

Parikrama were the headlining band but had to move out before they start playing because I can't stand those dudes anymore. Am tired of hearing the same songs.

IIT Delhi Blitzkrieg 2011

Performing Bands - Super tight. Sound - great. Lights - Super Sexy. Venue - Can't think of a better one than this. Crowd - Bunch of posers. Who the fuck does Bhangra dance in a Metal show. Its a real shame for the IIT organizers because they don't give the pass to real metal heads who live for this music but will fill the theatre with posers who doesn't know a shit about metal.

Every Year its the same story in IIT Delhi Blitzkrieg. You call up the Organizers and they will tell you they don't have any pass to the show. You somehow manage to grab hold of a pass and enter the venue. The place will be full of posers doing the Bhangra dance while Metal Bands play their heart out. Real Shame for IIT Delhi Blitzkrieg, 2011 Organizers.

Sylosis - They were Freaking Tight.

My Neck still hurts from all the head banging. Thank you Sylosis for that super awesome show!

Just two more days to Metallica in New Delhi. Its too bad that the tickets for Metallica concert in Delhi are all sold out. Hope the ticket genie and DNA guys will figure out a way. Incase if you need a ticket to the Metallica show in Delhi, let me know. I have a friend who has an extra pass...

Average Indian Man on Women

2011-10-18T13:22:00.000-07:00

The average Indian man concept and knowledge on women, women body, her sexuality and the way she thinks is very different from any average man of any country. Most of the opinions are hilariously while some are very offensive.

Disclaimer: Below contains strong sexual contents. Please leave if you are not comfortable with juicy sexually topics.

According to many of my colleagues, if a girl smokes, she is an easy prey. According to them, clothes of a girl who smokes will disappear faster than Poonam Pandey after the Cricket World Cup. A guy doesn’t need to do anything to get them. All we have to do is say ‘hi’ and she will come running after you. But if that’s the case, how come most of them are still virgins. BTW, a 30 year old virgin dude is not rare case, but in fact being 30 and not a virgin is a very rare case over her.

For women who drink alcohol, well I guess I don’t have to say anything here. But i think it will be like a porn video, where the guy walks in and the girl is waiting for him, no conversation just straight to the point.

How do you know a girl is interested in you? Well, a co-worker thinks that any girl who looks at him is interested in her. Every day at work, I get to hear this at least 5 time ‘Dude, that girl just looked at me, am sure she is interested in, why won’t she be, after all am handsome, my mom told me that am handsome’.

In the dictionary of an average Indian dude, there is no such thing as friendship between a man and a woman. If the opposite sex talks to you, she is interested in you.

Though discrimination is supposed to be illegal yet it is still widely practiced. There is religious discrimination, caste discrimination, regional discrimination and so on but when it comes to women, they are all equal. For an average India dude no matter what religion she follows, where she is from, what she does, her looks, the way she dress, an Indian dude will hit on any girl who comes in his way.

Who doesn’t like boobs? Some like em big, while for some, smaller the better. According to a certain guy I know, the size of a girl’s boobs depends on how much her boyfriend or husband fold and squeeze. According to this theory, the more you squeeze, the bigger it will be. Girls, why waste money on plastic enhancement, just keep on squeezing and watch it grow.

Many of you must not have heard of the term ‘Eve Teasing’, but it’s a very common term here, plus its one of the most committed crimes, especially in Delhi. But, it’s not totally the eve teaser fault’s because most guys thinks that the girl will fall in love with her if you whistle at the girl, pass comments on her body part, grab her ass in crowded places.. etc.. etc..

There are also many who believe that if you keep on following the girl you love, she will eventually fall in love with you. How do I know this? There was this guy, an ex-colleague who used to like a girl from Noida and his game plan was to roam around her house on weekends, plus there was this dude from my gym who told me that he used to circle around a certain girl college in his bike every day. With moves like this, it’s not a wonder why ‘30 and still virgin’ is so common.

Above all this one has to be the most hilarious and offensive. A certain dude from my work place told me the secret how an Indian girl preserve her virginity while still having sex. The answer is anal sex. His explanation was since most girls know that the chances of getting married to her boy friend is very slim, so instead of normal sex, girls let their boyfriends go anal.

There is a dude I know who is a hard core Death Metal fan though he wears hip hop clothes and this guy has a major crush on a girl and his game plan is to ignore her. I mean totally ignoring her. According to another female colleague, her secret to a healthy relationship is no sex.

Exploring Delhi's Street Market - Part 1

2011-10-12T02:58:00.000-07:00

I am totally, 100% not a mall person. Reason 1: I can’t afford most of the things there, leave alone shopping there; I have to think twice before buying a soda can. I am not a cheap guy, but how can I spend when it’s so expensive, way above my wallet. Reason 2: I can’t stand those sales people with their fake smile.

I am more of a crowded market or a bazaar kind of person where I have to push my way through. I may not be the best bargainer in the city but I love to bargain. It gives me the feeling that I have the power to negotiate. Another reason why I love these places is because the people here are real.

Recently I have been exploring lots of street bazaars in New Delhi and last Sunday I went to a nearby market which happens every Sunday.

Here are some pics from there.

The Bed sheet guy. Everything in his stall/shop is for rs 15o.. Its freaking cheap

Shirts, Shirts everywhere but not a single shirt to wear.

Yeah, they even sell pirated DVD's

This is a key/lock/knife guy and you will see such guys almost everywhere. These guys are everywhere, outside my home, malls, outside movie theater .......

Remember the movie Titanic? Girls don't deny that you did not cry while watching this movie. Titanic is still a hit here in New Delhi, people still buy their t-shirts, scarfs and even jeans.. Serious, i saw some jeans with the Titanic pic in it.

What Did i got from this market

Well i got two pairs of socks (15 bucks), a scarf (10 bucks), a tongue scraper (5 bucks) and a DVD with 5 Bollywood movies (20 bucks) , all for Rs 50 only. roughly around 1 USD.

If you want to visit this market, here are the details:
Where: RK Puram Sector 6.
Nearby Landmark: Sangam Cinema
When: Every Sunday from 14:00 to 21:00 hrs

Going Psycho over Death!

I have a phobia for death. It’s not that serious but it’s been more than 4 months I can’t stop thinking about death. I can’t even watch movies with gun fights or anything related to death. Every day on my way to office, I think about one day I’ll have to leave all these, I won’t be here and no one would even notice that I am not here except for my family and some friends. The world will go on as usual, my death won’t make any effect to the world. The thought of burying, worms feeding on my body, it’s so terrifying. The worst is what if I come back to life after they bury me.

I have been never like this before. My phobia increased even more since the terrorist attack on Delhi High Court on September 07 and the earthquake that came later that same night. I thought Delhi was going to end that day itself.

All I can do now is pray to God that make this transaction smooth.

Happy Birthday Freddie Mercury

2011-09-05T06:46:00.000-07:00

Not much real music lover can deny that Freddie Mercury wasn’t a big influence. Freddie Mercury was one of the foundation the whole rock music scene was built. His contribution to the music world is immeasurable. Freddie Mercury along with his band member created a song for every moment, at least for me. No matter what the occasion or emotion is I can always find a Queen Song that suits the mood. Here is my list of Queen Songs and when I listen to:

Love of my life and Crazy Little Thing Called Love – When am feeling all romantic

Somebody To Love – When am feeling all alone and rejected

We Will Rock Your – When I wanna Kick Some Serious Ass

We are the Champions – Well we all know when we listen to this song

Radio Ga Ga – When am reminiscing

I Want it all – Of-course when I want it all the way with my Girl (I know it’s a weird song to listen in that situation)

Under Pressure – When am in the toilet trying to push a big one down.

Happy Birthday Freddie, you're songs will always inspire me.......

Independence Day Celebration in Office

2011-08-17T04:51:00.000-07:00

Am grateful to all the freedom fighters who sacrificed their life so that we can have a better one, am even more grateful because we get a day off from work every year. August 15 is Indian Independence Day and my office people celebrated an advance Independence Day on 12th of August since the office will be closed on 15th of August. It was a fun day at work though the special Independence Day lunch sucked big time. We were told that we will be having a special Independence Day lunch but I never had such disgusting food ever in my life. Here are some pictures that I clicked that day.

This is the patriot rice. They Served the Tri Color Rice.

This was suppose to be the Special Independence Day Lunch. BTW, I have noticed that most Indian dishes have balls. I think that the Indian Culinary inventors are obsessed with balls. Even here in my plate you will find two balls and both are from different dishes.

The tri color sweet dish.

The patriot security guard. Who in the world would not feel safe when you have such patriot security

My work station with the tri colored balloons and the flag. This picture was taken 4 days back and the balloons look weird today with the air out, more like a penis. I think I'll have to take them down.

This is mr. Bk Bhatt, our Associate Director. No where in the world you will find such a cool Director. Am not saying this just because he sits next to me and he know that this is my blog but because he always finance our alcohol as well as mid day snacks. Everyone should have HOD's like him.

How to Watch Metallica in India for FREE

2011-08-11T05:31:00.000-07:00

(UPDATE:Metallica in Delhi is cancelled)

(Updated: Incase if you need a ticket to the Metallica show in Delhi, let me know. I have a friend who has an extra pass.)

I think this is the right time to publish this post because the Metallica concert in Delhi and Bangalore is two months away and its up to you to choose whether you want to risk and try to watch Metallica in India for free or you want to pay for the Metallica concert tickets. Before I start with the post, I have to warn you that am not responsible for anything. I don’t guarantee whether this will work or not. Anyway, here it is:

This thing worked for me in two Great Indian Rock Festivals. What you have to do here is, you need to have long hair, must wear a metal t-shirt, torn jeans or army shorts. Go to the back side of the venue where performers enter and exit and tell the security guy that you left your artist access car inside the venue. But this will most probably work when in group of 4 to 5. If that security looks like a bouncer with black shirts, I’ll advice you not to approach. Try to find the normal security guy with uniform.
The second tip will work only if you are a hot girl or a dude with a hot girl. If you are a hot girl, try and seduce the security guy by starting up a juicy conversation and tell him that you forgot your pass at home and whether he can sneak you inside. If it still does not work, flash your boobs, am sure it will work. If you are a dude with a hot girl friend, let your hot girlfriend do the talking and do mention that you are her brother or cousin. Never ever mention that you guys are a couple.
We all know where the Metallica concert in Delhi or Bangalore will happen. Reach the venue at least two days in advance. Go inside the venue and pretend that you are one of the workers. Stay there till the concert day.
Try and find out the sponsors of the concert and try to get a job with any of the sponsors. If you get a job then try and pursue your HOD’s to let you have a free access. Getting a job with the event management company will surely also land you with a free ticket.
Incase if any of your friends buys the Metallica concert tickets, tell them to throw outside once they are in. I know it would be tough to convince the security guard about the already check ticket but you can tell him that you need something from outside and you could not find any one at the exit.

As I have mentioned before, is it worth it. After all Metallica don’t visit India every now and then. The tickets are not that expensive. Good luck if you want to try these ideas.

Metal Head turns wanna be Hip Hopper!

2011-08-02T04:14:00.000-07:00

I really want to know what’s wrong with being a metal head. Of course we embrace the dark side of life, we may look a bit weird to many, we love our music with all our heart and we definitely love the color black. Why can’t some certain metal heads accept the fact that metal is not just about loving the music, it’s definitely more than just loving the music. It’s about living the life, being true to what you believe and following what you believe!

There are certain rules to being a true metal head. Loving the music is the most important of all, after that every metal head should have at least one t-shirt of his/hers favorite metal band. To me these are the two most important rules of all. It really hurts when some supposedly Death metal fan comes walking in with green loose t-shirts with the Adidas logo flashing, loose pants, flashy sports shoes with Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga and what not ruling his mp3 player. No offence to all the hip hop fans but when a dude dress up like that I’ll call him a hip hopper. Speaking of Hip Hop, I respect hip hop artists like RUN DMC and Public Enemy, these guys were talent but what the hell is going on with the hip hop scene. Everyone is rapping about blings, bitches, rims and rims.

Who am I to judge anyone, but I feel that we should always be true to our self. Nothing hurts more when you try to change who you are. If you love hip hop, don’t freaking pretend that you love Death Metal. For the record I still wear my Cannibal Corpse T-shirt to work even knowing how much it pisses of my boss because I can’t change who I am and what I love just for a job!

(Updated: Read my post on How to watch Metallica In India for Free here: Click Me)

Finally, we can officially book Metallica India concert tickets. I was overwhelmed when I realize that Metallica is really playing in India. Deep down inside I had this feeling that they were going to cancel the concert. Thank God, Metallica in India is a fact now. I have booked my tickets last Saturday, of course the front row which cost 2740. It’s a bit expensive compared to past international acts but come on its Metallica, the best freaking thrash Metal band in the world after Slayer. The tickets will be delivered to my home somewhere in August. Am really excited to see how the tickets will look like.

If you still haven’t booked your Metallica India concert tickets, I would suggest that you book ASAP.

Where to book: www.ticketgenie.in

Ticket cost

Front Row: Rupees 2750
Back Row: Rupees 1600 (I forgot the actual amount. Give or take some hundred bucks)

I remember I was suppose to share you guys ‘how to watch Metallica India Concert for Free’, well, I’ll be posting that this week.

Why Vegetarianism is Lame

2011-07-14T05:41:00.000-07:00

Vegetarianism! I don’t think human beings can become any lamer than Vegetarianism. Our forefathers fought and sacrificed their lives so that we can be on top of the food chain and here we are advocating Vegetarianism. I don’t think ancient human beings would be proud of us. Making our forefathers proud is not enough to prove why we should drop the whole idea of Vegetarianism, but I have solid proof to support why vegetarianism sucks.

Reason 1

Imagine if all these animal right organizations and vegan somehow manage to convince the leaders of the world to declare meat eating illegal, economy of all those countries will go haywire. Meat is a vast industry and millions of lives depend on this industry to survive. Imagine if they impose this view all these individuals will become jobless. Will the government offer them alternative ways to earn their livelihood? All these butchers, animal farmers and fishermen’s will be screwed. That’s not all. Can you imagine the thousands of people who work with KFC, MC Donald and so on will all go jobless!

Reason 2

Can you give me just one point about the advantage of a chicken or a pig if we don’t eat them? If we let them live these animals, our cities, towns and villages will be a huge animal farm and let’s not forget the smell.

Reason 3

Above all, the most important reason why we should drop the idea of Vegetarianism is they taste good, what better reason than that. I can’t even imagine surviving on vegetables alone.

P.s. Writing this post made me so hungry. Now I have to have roasted pork ribs.

70's Songs That Changed The Music Scene

2011-07-12T06:07:00.000-07:00

Floppy disk, LCD, VCR or videocassette, liposuction, Cell phones, Disco and Walkman were all invented in the 1970’s and along with these inventions the 70’s was also the era when some of the most awesome songs were composed. The 70’s re-shaped the music world and thank god it did. I personally consider the 70’s as the golden era for music. Without the 70’s, music won’t be the same. The 70’s bands made such a huge impact to the music scene, these bands were reflected in the form of the 80’s glam rock, thrash metal, the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Progressive Bands, Death Metal, Black Metal, Grunge and Alternative Rock. Unfortunately the descendant of the later bands did not turn out to be that great after all who in the world consider metal core, Emo Metal and nu metal as part of the Heavy Metal Family.

If it wasn’t for the 70’s we all would have been grooving to the hordes of studio produced pop artists and bands. Trust me 99.9% of these pop artists can’t sing, but they do know how to dance.

Here is a list of songs that I personally consider as the 70’s songs that change the music scene. In fact these songs are also considered as some of the best songs ever.

Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Dream On - Aerosmith
Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits
Smoke On the Water - Deep Purple
Symptom of the Universe - Black Sabbath
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Baba O'Riley - The Who

BTW, I can’t stop listening to Dire Straits’ So Far Away. Right now, no other song means so much as this song. It’s been a long time since I was with my girl and seriously am tired of making out on the telephone.

Kayaking! You Thought I was Bluffing

2011-07-06T03:39:00.000-07:00

Remember when I told you that its possible to kayak in Delhi. I mean it literally. Still don't believe it, here are some pictures.

Right Outside my Office. It hurts to see my smoking zone flooded.

Am thinking of buying a Kayak now.

BTW this is my favorite place to grab a glass of Tea. It's nothing swanky but the tea is great and very cheap.

I wish i was him, napping instead of working.

That's all for now. Will surely update with more pictures on Kayaking.

P.s. Did you know that Stairway to Heaven is an amazing song to listen while working.

Metallica in India: Metallica India Tickets are Up for Booking

2011-07-04T02:30:00.000-07:00

(Updated: Incase if you need a ticket to the Metallica show in Delhi, let me know. I have a friend who has an extra pass.)

(Updated: Read my post on How to watch Metallica In India for Free here: Click Me)

(Update: Guys Metallica india tour 2011 tickets are up for sale. Visit http://www.ticketgenie.in/ and book your tickets)

The wait for Metallica India concert tickets is over. Finally there are some updates from both the Metallica official websites as well as Ticketgenie.in, the site where we can book Metallica concert tickets. The deal is, we can’t buy the Metallica concert tickets for Bangalore or Delhi, but what we can do is, we can reserve the tickets. I visited ticketgenie.in yesterday and what we can do is, we need to fill up an online form where we have to note down details like our mobile number, email address, number Metallica concert tickets for Delhi or Bangalore. By 1st week of August, ticketgenie people will contact you for the real Metallica India Concert tickets.

I personally this is a bullshit idea. Why can’t they just give us a date where we can go and book out Metallica concert tickets. The suspense is too much. In a way I feel that they are doing this just to have some kind of a calculation to know how much they can earn.

Fellow Metal Heads, don’t waste any of your precious moments. Visit Ticketgenie.in and fill up those freaking forms. I feel like am applying for some college, instead of booking for Metallica in India concert tickets.

My ride to Office

2011-06-29T09:32:00.000-07:00

Don't you get this feeling that God can be unfair at times. I hope am not the only one here who feels that sometimes God ain't fair! It’s not that I have lost faith in God and am not questioning how he is taking care of business, I have full faith in him and I can feel that something good (a 10 digit bank balance) is in store for me. But Dear God, there are times when I feel that you could have been more generous and quicker in answering my prayers, like right now when am dead broke and at-least three levels below the Poverty line. To top it, my ride from home to office couldn't have been worse. its more like going on a safari trip.

Here are some pics, i clicked on my way to office.

The Delhi-Gurgaon Toll Gate: The second largest in Asia. This place becomes a nightmare after 7:00 Pm

A Local Ice Cream cart, these are very cheap and so good. They carry around ten different flavors, plus Ice cream type drinks.

Looks like a small Shop, right! Well you will astonish at the variety of stuffs you can get from here. Cigarettes, Match Box, Lighter, Candies, Chewing Cum, Tea, Coffee, bread toast, Omelette, Pan Masla etc..etc..

Totally Messed up Alley

Another sight which makes me fell like am going on a Safari tour everyday. I travel from streets that resemble like small rivers, bumpy roads and pure dirt roads.

The monsoon is here and some streets are like small rivers. If you are into kayaking, you can even kayak in the main highway between Delhi to Gurgaon.

Metallica In India: Tickets Up for Sale

(Update: Guys Metallica india tour 2011 tickets are up for sale. Visit http://www.ticketgenie.in/ and book your tickets)

Just got the news, Metallica Tickets for Indian will be up on sale from July 3 on Ticketgenie.in. With this news, the dream of watching Metallica in India is becoming more realistic. Though the news of Metallica India concert tickets going up for sale is spreading like wild fire but still there is no news about the ticket price. Some says the Metallica Ticket Price will be around seven to eight thousands, but I don’t think it will be that expensive. If they really charge that much, Indian Metal Heads really need to start saving up. We can’t deny the fact that most metal heads in India survive on a slender budget.

Let’s wait for 3rd of July and see how much they will charge and how much me have to sacrifice to watch Metallica live in India.
