I think, therefore I am....

I really tend to wonder sometimes whether I am mentally unstable as most people tell me or just crazy. And sometimes tend to wonder whether I am foolish or brave. A lot of these things haunt me a lot of times but one thing I must admit is that in the end I enjoy the most compared to others being the way I am. I guess no one else would brave to stand in freezing water in the middle of nowhere helping people cross a stream and in the end be at the verge of hypothermia and still enjoy it. Nor would any one drink water with elephant pee in it when on a trek to Bandipur. Nor would anyone else brave to drink rain water unfiltered directly from a puddle. And no one else would certainly sit in snow without a shirt in freezing temperature just for the kicks. When I come to think of it I guess I just have a dick that’s half an inch longer than most of them. I have done some of the craziest thing, hurt myself the most and in the end enjoyed every bit of it.

But then coming to seriously think of it I wonder why I am that. Is it because of my genes cos my dads more crazy than me (He’ll fight a cobra and give it the first two bites before getting bitten.), or is it because I am outright foolish and crazy. Why do I do things that would send shivers down other people’s spine just hearing what I have done?

I guess there is just one answer and that is I think, therefore I am DANGEROUS.

My Delicious Account

Finally got my del.icio.us account finally. Dont have any idea of what i will be doing with it but then most of the people i know have one and thought i might also have one. Also downloaded the Flock browser which is mostly a better version of Firefox which completed 100 million downloads today. I guess Flock will beat that with its excellent features that i have noticed till now.

Bangalored!!!

India shining is one thing I remember when I ride on Bangalore roads these days. You can see the w(hole) of Bangalore in its innumerable pot holes for which NASA has sent a team to research mistaking them to be craters. I guess things are a lot better in Timbuktu than here. We have some of the worst infrastructure, perennial power problems, water scarcity. You name the trouble we have it. Two hard showers and all that is left is a “Holy” road. I really would not blame the people running things. I guess the problem is with me and u. Things will never improve until I, you and all of us take some active interest and voice out our opinions. We have to come out of our attitude of “Swalpa Adjust Madkolli” and think beyond ourselves. What have we contributed to the system that we have the right to complain about. Its nothing less than a nightmare driving on or roads. We have really bad public transport system or whatever is left of it. We have to look to cities like Kolkata, Delhi and other cities which have alternate means of local transport. Someone once said “A city can only be as good as its people”. Just as an example when the Delhi Metro was started there were reports of vandalism by people for some time. Now people have become more responsive and care for the metro and use it well. If all of keep quiet who will voice out. I don’t think Kalki will come in my our your life time. Most of you might say that you locality is really good and you have no trouble, not that I have any either. It might merely pertain to some places and not yours. So why worry? But didn’t we hear those famous lines by pastor Martin Niemoller:
First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Trade Unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a Trade Unionist
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
