The times when everything did not have to make sense... Its about the situations, the conditions, the hypocrisy, the tolerance, the madness and our own unimaginable cruelty to mankind. As i said... its about the times when not many things made sense.. and neither did History till then.... but always hoping that someday our future will.

Weddings in Heaven....Rents in Hell... People on Earth dreaming

Well the concept of arranged marriages is very simple, miraculous, intelligent and also Outright Preposterous !!!

Had been in this game for a while now.. so I can tell. Its played pretty much like cricket. Both sides come to bat and there are fielders who are there to catch a bad ball you hit. The interesting thing worth noting here is.. did you really hit a good ball badly, or did you purposely hit it to the fielder to go back to the dressing room. Well the fielding side will never know since the scorecard will read You Caught... HAHAHHA...It is a funny game.

Hence, gals, you really rock. Katz is convinced she wont marry conventional style.. Rabs no different. F1 (as rabs calls her) never did. Rabs recently told me that she wont attend my wedding if I marry someone I recently met cause that poor girl made an intelligent comment.... hehehhehe. At least now I know she will attend my wedding... Phew!! Had I only known it earlier.. :P

I read today that someone took a property was rented for 1.5 crores a month in Bombay. That makes the whole equation in perspective.. doesnt it? Ambanis are creating a world record by creating the costliest house on Altamount road. Yeah.. its just Rs. 2000 crores worth. If you any graduate, you can figure out how much is 2k crores worth today.. and how many countries have GDP-NDP of that size.

My boss on my way back home on Friday asked me about a Job opening in UK to two of us. I was silent but was thinking thats too easy. They had the requirement and we had the niche. Boss's word wouldn't even need an interview. But will that make a difference.
I thought and Money wise, Yes... but as I cant help seeing it as Penny wise Pound foolish.

Lets see how Bombay has evolved. Its nothing to do with my love with the city but am asking you to do this from an historical perspective. Migrants from various villages came here for work and did the laborer's job and were treated as outsiders. They stayed through the humiliation and hard times and their next generations were called residents. They then took better education and job so you could make it big. Now when there is chance to make it big here, you go from this place to another city and start the whole cycle again ??? Is this all education here has taught us? We going from one village to another city. In all sense Bombay is costlier than New York and if one can make it big here, one can make it atleast twice as big in any other city in this world. Thats what I know..

but I dont want to convince you cause I might take the offer and GO !!!......:D

hmmm...first time ever u have set me to think...dont get too happy abt it:)

i) arrange marraiges? or any marriage for that matter is jus the same...trust me...give it a time...and u will realise tht though th players were less (incase of love ones...sounds so arti:)...the ppl involved multi-tasked...if u are married, u "sold" ur wife on marrying u.

ii) rents and houses...phew...i want ppl to slow down...its overwhelming!

iii)UK??? we need to talk abt it

@Katz : I am playing the game cause seriously its meant to be played. You win if you score better. I would have loved not playing it.. but the only other way is to give an entrance exam (with parents).. and thats tough. so i am taking the easy route.. Playing !!
