Travelling, will bury

Thanks to , had a great Sunday. Spent a lot of time looking through the dvd collection at Fry's. Finally bought Psycho, Vertigo, a DVD with four Hitchcock tv episodes which includes Lamb to the Slaughter, a four movie set that contains  Night of the Living Dead and The House on Haunted Hill, DVDs of Nosferatu, The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (yes, ) and The Searchers. I also picked up a wireless card for $15 and a wireless router for $25. I'm very pleased with myself.

Am at Cleveland right now, of all places. And tomorrow I will be in Atlanta. The day after that, I'm back in Redwood City. Then I fly back on Saturday night, via Singapore ,with a stop over at Hong Kong. There is a dark plot afoot to send me to Japan after that, once I get over my jet lag in Bangalore.

America is currently going crazy over the election. Most of the people I've met seem to favor Kerry, though the exit polls lean towards Bush. All the television channels are trying to outdo each other with their coverage. I'll settle for reruns of Seinfeld.

You know what's funny?

Most of the people aghast at the election results and horrified at the prospect of Sonia becoming PM are the ones who live outside India, in the US.

Wow, what an election!

India Shining indeed! Muhahahaha...

Couldn't vote

Turns out my name was removed from the rolls. I guess the good folks from the Election Commissioner's office had checked my previous residence, found that I don't live there no more and happily deleted Sindha's and my name from the list. I don't exist, apparently.

Bah! This is the first time I've not voted, in the three elections that have passed since I turned 18.

Blasts again

Bomb blasts in Mulund and Rajouri. I have relatives in both areas - my uncle is the Brigadier at Rajouri, in fact.

There've been rumours today of bombs found in Powai as well.

L-jers in Mumbai - , , , , , & others, you guys take care, ok ?!

As expected, the BJP won in Gujarat. Not sure why...

As expected, the BJP won in Gujarat. Not sure why this scares the heck out of me.

I dont think I've written about my New Zealand fixation. I've always had this dream of migrating to New Zealand and settling there. People tell me its a very cold country and they have more sheep than humans. Sounds like a good deal.

Exactly what we need

A war is exactly what India needs now. Gives people a lot more to do and think about. No more Gujarat, Godhra, Ayodhya, Mandir and Masjid.

Anyone seen Wag the Dog ?

Today

Kill them, maul them, kick them, maim them.

Slit their throats, drink their blood.

Burn them, char them, Cut them, fuck them.

Blood down the sewers,Blood right up my alley.
Blood on my face, Blood on my hands.

Dance, dance on them. Dance and sing. Wave your sword, pour your venom. Burn, burn, burn.

Eat. Cut their hearts out and eat. Gorge. Drink their blood. Bathe in it.

And you, yes, look on. Watch TV. Read the papers. Shake your heads. And switch channels to the latest soap.

Enough is enough

I can now understand how the Americans felt. Striking at our parliament ! The gall ! Makes you want to hit out and get some revenge.

Maybe I should count to ten. Or a hundred. Or a million.
