Ramblings of the sleep-deprived-due-to- mosquito mind

It's quite hot here, the meancing mosquitoes are on the prowl and these two together form a very lethal combination. To beat the heat i just had a bath(at 300am) and sprayed whatever was left in the HIT can and made a gas chamber of my room. Now I am sitting in verandah for the HIT to sink in, and obtain maximum casuality.
Tiger woods has been hogging the news for sometime now. He is under going treatment in what is apparently some sort of sex rehab centre for his uber active libido. Now all my life, i have heard of hollywoodies going in for drug rehab, alcohol rehab, smoking rehab, at times for community service. This is the first time i hear something in the lines of sex rehab. I happened to read his confession and i felt this guy does'nt deserve forgiveness or sympathy of any kind.

Another guy of whom i see or read about almost everyday on some page of the paper is the Indian Minister of State for Environment and Forests- Mr.JairamMaheshRamesh. One day he is at a summit where they talk about saving glaciers, cutting carbon somethings, another day he talks over halting climate change or he is smarting over beta brinjals or commenting on some dam issues in kerala or talking on afforestation or talking about mining etc etc. The Media simply seem to be loving him.
(Not that i have some problem with him or TIGER , its just that i need to while some time away while the HIT sinks in.)

And one thing that really made me proud this week was Tendulkar's 200. Work had me consumed the entire day and I realised at midnight via a sms asking me to forward it to every Indian on the planet


Sleep is getting my eyes to close involuntarily. Now when i get up and open my room I expect my room to be free from mosquitoes, else i curse the HIT guys. Need to get up at 6 in the morning.(Its 4am already).

Chao!

Yippeeeeee..& looose petrolllll

'Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'
Well..no other word could probably describe my elation in getting thru with the net connection i have been struggling with for sometime now. It's the first run for my new BSNL
EVDO and till now general browsing speeds have been pretty satisfactory, though i have'nt put it thru any kind of speed tests. For the time being, I am happy the way this thing is functioning.

And today on the way back home with RMK, he suddenly breaks into this song from
Rang De Basanti "lose petrooool, lose petroool, one more time, lose, lose". I laugh and retrot "what? petrol?..its control dude..not petrol". He gives me a dumb look and says "really! is it control?..i always thought it was petrol..made more sense anyway". I laugh all the way home and realise the headache that i was carrying had disappeared. Humor helps you see.

Time to hit the couch and to curse the mosquitoes.

Chao!!!
