Weight and Watch
My visits to the gym are usually about me sweating it out on the machines while I observe the people streaming in and out. Since this is my (possibly) third attempt at sticking to this routine, I have quickly formed a standard list of people found in any gym. These are:
1. The fat aunty who watches the cooking show on TLC while cycling. Whenever I' ( Read more... ) -
"Fighter"
I was reminded today of the IIT stereotype.
Know-it-all, arrogant, insecure morons. Ugh. Why are they like this???? -
Fuck.
I have always maintained that there are levels of randomness that one can tolerate from other people. Then there is the other type of randomness that doesn't merit any consideration, much less an emotional reaction.

Valley by the Lake and other beauty :-)
I was the typical Mumbaikar this weekend and took a one and half day break in Lonavala. Everytime I visit the countryside I'm struck by how everything around me is earthy and very real. The soil is red, roads are smooth, but not always. The men are ALL dressed in white kurta, pyjamas and nehru topis and they seem to be chilling. The women are in ( Read more... )
