I aint writing no stupid blog

Suddenly of-late I ve got this lethargy to not blog. My brain constantly questions the purposefulness of this act . Its like that ad on TV where the guy tells his wife that he is gonna blog about some cheesecake shake at Sonic so that his readers could benefit . It so happens that the only reader is his mom . Its kinda like that . Sometimes I feel that I blog for myself rather any one else . But if there is an audience, its encouraging .

My tennis isnt making too many waves . Mike ,my partner is pounding me left righ and center . Given my lack of mobility , lack of fitness , looks like anyone could defeat me easily . I have frankly stopped worrying too much about it . Its that idiotic season shift , where tennis isnt the focus suddenly and work takes precedence .

Fulfillement ! Its a big thing for me . I have been going round in circles trying to grasp the subtleness of this word . Things like music , tennis , having a good time . I have been reminscing about my school days . Small group of friends , do ur homework , play , eat , see DD television and sleep to start another day . Life was simple, un-complicated , straight cut .

Bills to pay , gas to fill , food to cook , manage the work front , put up with co-workers ( dog eat dog's ass world ) , laundry , mail , et al . Simple is far away .

Things apart, made some amazing eggplant Lasagne today . Slowly getting better at it but not too healthy . I am running out of options to cook as rice doesnt suite us .

Got a chance to see some Sa Re Ga Ma pa on Z tv . Ooodi Baba , the fight between Bappy Dada and Abhijeet was entertaining that but its sad that it happened on a kid show . Its so freaking melodramatic . Everyone builds that unneccesary sense of competition amongst kids , asking them ( putting them on the spot ) , as to who would lose . Whatever happenned to doing ur job and not worrying about others fate . Its the same freaking attitude . Beta tumhare dost Rahul ko "maths" mein kitne marks mile ? Now if rahul gets lesser marks everything seems to be forgotten . These are the values that the middle class is inculcating . Beta tumhare notes share mat karo . Add to it, Abhijeet's gesture to provoke Bappi Da on the stage . Thanks to Bappy Dada's composure and some sanity was brought in .

Ok i heard Alka Yagnik tell some contestant about using the correct scale for a song . I would urge her to go and listen to a song named " Saawariya " in the album Swades . We will know what the right octave is .

Remembered a joke about the word "Saawariya " . This word probably refers to something romantic in hindi . But the word in Tamil means " are u dying ?" . Incidentally this is a joke that happenned amongst a group of thambis who saw this hindi movie . Now after this song , some old man dies . One of the guys in the group asks aloud as to why the old man died. To this a brilliant reply came - Just now she was singing "Saawariya " thats why . Ha ha ha ! . Idu epadi irruku ? Apadi podu !



I have been debating , buying an XBOX ! Frankly do i need one ? If I need XBOX or XBOX 360 . If XBOX 360 . If XBOX 360 , core model or the whole Shebang? Which games do i buy ?
Where do i buy the second controller ? Should i buy XBOX live ? if yes do i need wireless hardware ?

should i start small with the XBOX from ebay and then graduate to XBOX 720 that MS provides next year or in the near future ? Will it be compatible with my analog tv or do i need HDTV . If HDTV , what size , LCD OR Flat Panel . Will my house owner allow me to fix stuff needed to accomodate the TV ? with a HDTV dont i need a premium Home Theatre system ? 5.1 ? 7.1? 100.1 ? Bose yamaha Sony pioneer philips ? DVD player ? Blue ray support ?

KISS ( Keep it simple Stupid ) , work more and you would'nt need to think about the XBOX ! Good solution !

Its getting late . Gotta crash . Have another pounding session with Mike ! Need some extra fulfillment !
