Great music connects. Some tracks make me wanna sing and dance, some make me smile and others make me cry.
Do any tracks on my list make it to yours ?

SURPRISE !

Yeah, I've come back way before I said I was gonna be back, but with good reason !
I'm in mental hell !

To think straight, I've decided to sort my priorities/interests and make a list. Most important first and so on.
Short term priorities :
1. CA exam starting November 2nd.
2.Family
3.Music
4.Global financial crisis
5.TV
6.Friends
7.My hair, I need a haircut.
8.Food

Well, that's all I could come up with. But does that look right ?
Shouldn't family come first and friends definitely be higher on that list .. ?

Well, circumstances can certainly change a person's outlook and his choices in life. And I hope I can get my priorities straight in time, before I get sucked into this mess we've made for ourselves. It's called society :)

Here's what I think my list should look like :
1.Family
2.God ( I missed him on my first list!)
3.Music
4.Friends
5. Global events including exams (wink wink)

What does your list look like ?

Wait !

For those waiting with bated breath, keep holding. I'm not blogging till my CA exams are over on November 12th (I'm online, so you can guess how that's gonna turn out ). Read the other bloggers I have on my list instead !

Weirdos from Another Planet

Please advise the company on whether it should buy or make the product.

I was in my room studying. Rather, my teacher was trying his best to teach me and I was trying my best to day-dream.

As I began to describe in detail why the hypothetical company would much rather buy product 'B', and that only fools would think otherwise, I was interrupted. My teacher and I looked up to see a man, with a bag. Any other description escapes me at this moment.

He said that he was sent from Onida, from whom I had purchased my Air conditioner. He was here for it's servicing. All this was jolly well, but it seemed to me that it was well past the warranty period. Oh well, I thought. Let the man do his thing.

He switched it on. He switched it off. And On again. Satisfied with the functioning of the remote he took a look at the AC. Mhmmm. Hmph. Taking notice of my waning patience he asked me how long it had been since the purchase. 1.5-2 years. Ah, more than one year then ?
*Glare*

Well , then your warranty period has expired. You will have to pay Service charge.
What the @*#$@ ?! I didn't call for this service my man. Why should I pay you ?!
Well, its past your warranty period. Company rules.
Snigger. Right. Look, I'm not paying you anything. You haven't done anything. I don't need the service.
But I've come all this way !! Where's the purchase bill ?
Huh ? I don't have it with me.
Well, you don't even have your purchase bill, it's past your warranty period and you won't even pay me ?!!

What the ... Please leave.

Well, at least sign this service form.
Uhh ... ok. Hold on ... ( the box with excellent service written below it is ticked) . You haven't done anything. I'm writing that on this form.
Hey ! First you're not paying me, now you won't even sign the form ?! You can't write that stuff in the form.

Lost for words.

I'm not paying you anything. I'm not signing that. Here's the contact phone number. Leave.

Exits.

Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us. - Calvin

After Y Comes Z

Why am I doing this ? Do I really need to share what I feel with random strangers,or at best, friends I made over the internet ? Let's face it, none of my real friends will ever bother reading this.
The second question is easier to answer. No. I'm not here to share my weird and private feelings with anyone. This is NOT a counselling session.
As to the question of WHY ? Well, after Y comes Z and the answer to all of life's questions is Adams' magic number 42. Enjoy :)

The Rules.

I created this blog. I am supreme. I make the rules. I am thus, an ass.
No rules. Stay tuned.
