Back Home
// September 7th, 2006 // Bangalore, Funny, Life, Television
It’s been close to two weeks since I returned back home and things have been mostly okay. I didn’t blog partly because I was busy and partly because I just didn’t feel like.
- On my first day to work after coming back, my cell phone’s alarm stuck to following the German time zone (even though I had changed the time zone) and went off at 9:00 am which meant I had to go through a harrowing experience of getting from the centre of the city to Whitefield during the peak traffic hour.
- Last Sunday, Sonia Gandhi decided to visit Bangalore and since her rally took place near my home, the traffic situation was horrible. No, not everyday-Bangalore horrible, this was at a totally new level. I’ve never really liked her but now, I hate her. It now seems like Congress might be fined for all the posters they put up all over the city. But don’t we all know that its not really going to happen.
- It’s good to be back home and watch Indian television after a month. I missed it. Last Sunday. I turned on the TV and saw the headline “Salman ke ghar Ganesh” (Ganesh in Salman’s home) and it felt so familiar and good.

It happens often we forget to change the time settings. Whenever I fly from est coast to west coast, I have a spare watch with me. I don’t blame you. Hope you had a good trip.
Nobody likes politicians coz they not only eat our money but roll out unwanted stickers all over. Who shouts back?? Nobody due to fear.
I cannot ocmment in non-beta blogs and using my dummy blog a/c for comments alone.

cool…. so u bangalore now???
so mister… my indirect demand of chocolates… have u bought them??? m coming to bangalore for 4 days for a change…
Welcome back. I am in India and I can’t watch TV from where I am!
that stinks that your alarm went off at the wrong time. i hate when that happens.
@priya: Well, I had changed the time zone. Its just that since I set the recurrent alarm while in Germany so it decided to follow the same time zone.
Ya, i know abt ur blogger beta problem. Blogger shuld do smthings abt it soon.
@preeti: Yup, in Blr again. And yes, I have the chocolates
So u r not in Blr anymore?
@vinaya: Thanks. I feel bad for you. I would probably die if I was not allowed to watch TV
@becky: Ya, I hate that too
@harry: Sorry but that looks like spam to me so I’ll have to delete it.
It does not take a Sonia Gandhi to realise the traffic situation of Bangalore. Even an ant will commute faster than vehicles in the God forsaken roads of Bangalore.
time zones, ah, tell me about it
So you are back home,and enjoying T,V and India.Do you miss foreign country?
dint blog for sooo long! bad bad!!
//I’ve never really liked her but now, I hate her.//

hahahahhahaha
i laughed for almost a minute. damn, my mom must have thot i’ve gone crazy or some shit… yikes!
@greensatya: Ya, but as I said in the post, Sonia’s visit raised the traffic horror levels to a new high
@sharda: Honestly! Sometimes, a little
@freeze: Ah, I love it when I’m funny without even trying:)
And why aren’t u using ur blogger id??

@tarini: Thanks
welcome back to Blore .. time zones ehh???
@abhinav: Thanks
I hate it when alrams go off at the wrong times..
And your post strangely made me miss home…
@perspective inc.: Ya, defeats the whole purpose of setting the alarm.
