Boring day and the gibberish

-
This weekend seems too very long and its forcing me back to the old thinking mood.
But what I think today is quite different. I think about "where do all these ideas to think about, come from". And lo! I again have an idea to dwell upon...Had been watching nat geo for many hours now, and all those shows about the universe push me to think "once again" about what all is there to fathom. I am not awed by the immensity of universe and not the kinds who go spiritual about the insignificance of man. I just think one thought, its so large and its so vast. And from a man's stature, it applies to not just to the whole Universe but even to this earth. And the thought comes to me, "Another trip to another place?"Now the mind has acted, I just need to muster enthusiastic men who are ready to accompany me to these new places... Future weekends should not be boring again.
P.S: Watched a show where our ancestors traveled through rivers, oceans and through uncharted territories . Brings to life those vivid images of Sean Courtney of "When the lion kills" and of Tristan in "The legend of the fall", some images seen on silver screen and other seen on the black screen of imagination. And I wonder was I there in those times when man wandered this earth, trying to fathom it, savoring the nature as it were...Guess this is where thoughts come from... from Gibberish

Winter is "chillilng"... pun intended

The weather is just like back home when winter started. Miss those winter days of, the steaming cup of hot tea which I could have both when mummy made and when bua made. The days of endless. meaningless walks on canal road, when every few steps led to a meeting with another friend. The days when we were free to create all that laughter and ruckus on the road, the way Bulli would cry out the honourable salutation of "Bhai ko", God alone knows what that meant but that was our way of saying rather shouting a powerful hello. I remember the woolen cap that mummy wanted me to wear and I would'nt. And to top it Kamal would come wearing one, showing off as an example. I remember the occasional momos and soup. The days of miscalls. When we wanted to be independent. When we took tutions to earn and get that sense of independence. The days when we earned and spent without a thought, for it was for spending that we earned. Yet we saved. Those were the days when Kamal would miscall me

Marketing strategy...

Yesterday I had a great time starting very early morning, with the Ishquia show at 0850 AM at INOX, after a bike ride of a whole 16 KMs. Then we went to Pantaloons where the gals wanted to have some shopping. It turned out to be a shopping spree for the guys. But that is all normal stuff. So where is the cranky, nerdy, thinking kind of Gautam... Well ladies and gentlemen, here I come... At Pantaloons, as it happens with me mostly I was checking out things in the fragrances section, though highly reluctant to buy any as I have enough right now to burn a corn field in it. Still, others had paid the bills and we were about to leave when one of the gals (no names... Rule no 1 lolzzz... don't get the joke, watch Transporter) went over to try out the Polaroid sunglasses. We all flocked over and the salesperson told her that "These are Polaroids" "So what about it?" "Well these are not tinted or colored and can be used for night driving. And I tell you what? Look

Astronauts and astronomers

Long back I heard these line in a not so famed movie... Jurassic Park III.... something like this: There are astronomers and there are astronauts, both doing the same work. Astronomers, however, tend to look at the stars from their domain of security, but unlike astronauts, they never get to see the real thing.... I was posed with a similar question on a recent trek to a petit hill fort (petit from my viewpoint of hugeness)... "अंग्रेज अजीब होते हैं, कभी भी कहीं भी बोरिया बिस्तर उठाया और चल पड़े, ऐसे ही पहाडों पे climb हैं ... "... All adventure, all adrenaline seems wierd to some and those are the very people who question why does other crave for such things... I remember above lines at such times... Until and unless this questioning mob experiences the real thing, noone can explain why? On this trek, though I called it petit, I had people with me, who looked up at the mountain, at the top and wondered how high it was, how will they reach it, whether they will or not? They wo
