BLUES!!

Pune was drenched in rain today. The rains started early morning and have no idea when it would stop. Took part in a funny internet poll... "who is Bollywood's ugliest actress". The contestents(unfortunately) were Vidya Balan, Kim Sharma, Rimi Sen, Kangana Renaut & Malaika Arora. Well i chose Kim Sharma, but i was conspicuous by the absence of Deepika Padukone's name in the list. Well most people voted Kangana.

I had office today it was same weekend shit. You work less and enjoy your time at work. I have just got my trading account activated and probably will execute my first trade on tuesday. Still thinking on which company share will actually inaugrate my portfolio. Someone suggested Pantaloon Retail while the other said vijaya bank. Finally zeroed in on Vijaya Bank. Lets see what happens.

Was reading some mythology and it was the story of Vishwamitra and Maneka which set my heart racing. After all why not their grandson is the person after whom our country has been named. Also remembered a small incident that i shared with my father in law in Kerala. I was leaving Kannur (thats were my in-laws and my wife reside)and Mr. P ( my da-in-law) was accompanying me to the railway station in a auto-rickshaw. There is one dirty thing in otherwise clean surroundings in Kerala i would like to mention, the walls in the city are all covered with film posters (and ofcourse a small group of men around admiring the scene portrayed). It will have a hero (who ofcourse resembles like a fat,fiftish something rich politician we have back in Goa)with a heroine which will make you feel as if the film is about an incestual relationship between a father-daughter, which isnt ofcourse. Ofcourse the heroine will wear a top which in civilised world would be equivalent of a bra, displaying her larger than life (i mean it) cleavage and lot of flab around her waste, in short;my mom would flip out looking at, looking at the camera in a manner befitting a porn star who just has performed fellatio on her man. It makes hard for people like me who practice chastity not look at such posters (but ofcourse with lot patience now i have conquered this terrible affliction). Back to the auto rickshaw, my da in law suddenly oblivious of everything around him proudly says "We people kerala..." loss at words... "we people in kerala"... loss at words again..."are very conservative people" and he was beaming with pride. "yes, you are" i said.
I probably guess he was commenting on the liberal attitude of the Goans. Hard truth, Mr Proud you arent conservative people, you are plainly male chauvinists. You are only conservative at home with your wives and daughters but otherwise ......no words to say.
