I have been tagged by Lalit to come up with a list of things I hate...I can't believe he would take such a risk!
But since I so admire Lalit and his perseverance, I shall do justice by his tag.
I HATE:
1. Memoirs of a Geisha - I saw it yesterday and I had this heavy cloud of gloom and anger over my head till today morning. Don't get me wrong...Its not the concept of women servicing men in this movie that bothers me...maybe the Japs do it and so its their business. Its the idea that a 30 yr old man can develop feelings for an 8 yr old girl. That he takes her under his wing and lets her grow up to be a Geisha. And despite being in love with her, he lets her virginity be auctioned...C'MON !!
2. Mamma's Boys - It seems very cute when a guy will tell you how he adores his mother. You think, well...atleast he knows how to respect women. But nothing bugs me more than a grown man who needs to seek permission from his mother for everything. Love her yes...but do you have to "love" her? Be a man and learn to make your own decisions too every once in a while.
3. People Who Are Rude to Servers and Hosts at Restaurants - This category of people truly anger me. The person serving you is just serving you...that does not make him/her your servant. A little respect won't hurt. And if you still insist on being rude...be ready to savor your dish with a seasoning of spit!
4. Bosses From Hell - When I say boss from hell, I don't mean the boss who expects you to work late or pick up their laundry. I mean the boss who will pester you for dinner and will offer to drive you home at 10 PM even though you can take company transport. I mean the boss who will pay you embarrasing compliments at important meetings, and who will mis-use a position of power and responsibility to seek special "favours". Ideal solution is to just puncture the wheels of the Lexus when he is not looking...well, either that, or post his pic and cell number at a men-seeking-men-for-sex site.
5. The New Budget - PC has really gone and done it this time. He's now taxing us every time we use a debit/credit card to pay for anything. He's also taxing us if we withdraw 10 grand or more from our ATMs. Wait a second...pretty soon we'll go back in time to the days of Sholay and we'll all have our own personal munshi ji. What the fuck man! Its my money...you are already taxing my income and every bloody thing I buy. Now you want to tax me to withdraw my own money? What am I supposed to do now? Carry 2000 bucks with me everywhere if I need to go buy groceries? Ofcourse if I get mugged and murdered for my money, I will be told I should have been more careful and was probably asking for it by carrying around so much cash. C'mon PC...I was expecting better than this regressive move.
6. The Vagaries of the Indian Justice System - Jessica Lal was murdered at a party infront of more than a 100 people. Witnesses were threatened, and today the accused have walked scot-free and one even runs a night club. Yes we are all protesting, but for how long can this mockery of the legal system continue? A medical student from MAMC was raped in broad daylight, the culprits were arrested and then released. Does any one know what happened to them? Every one knows what happened in Godhra. Yet the accused have not been brought to justice. If these lunatics want to fight wars to prove their religion is better, what better way to do it than rape and murder little girls right??
7. Delhi Auto Wallahs - These guys have their own mob scene going on. As soon as you step out of a mall, a hoard of them will descend on you like a swarm of locusts. They are better off than most of us; some even carry 2 cell phones. The cell phones are snazzier than mine. They are so choosy they will refuse to take you early morning when you are rushing to your bus stop. They will refuse to go by meter. And when you do sit in the auto, they will "adjust" the mirror so they can leer at you throughout your journey.
That's my lucky seven for the day. There is so much more to hate...but really...what is the point right?
I am tagging Safari Al, methinks, mind curry, and vaibhav.

Number 3 makes me see red too. I dunno why but I simply hate people who are rude to the poor waiters. The justice system sucks but the coppers suck more. They will investigate a case only if you are willing to pay them. Guys who love their moms are cool but the type who still want mama's permission for everything are nothing but wussies.
lol..very different hate list i must say. i have lived away from home for almost 12 years now. so i am longing to ask permission for something :(
:)
hey you know what, i have already done this tag once. so i plead you to kindly relieve me from this, your honor.
be ready to savor your dish with a seasoning of spit!
hehehe... so true.. so it's always ""Dost..please yeh/woh le aao
post his pic and cell number
lols...u R a dangerous woman
what is the point right
The point is if u can change it then u must give it a try... i try to change things i hate about myself... and others, if i can help it.
I didn't do this as a tag but co-incidentially wrote exactly seven types of people that i hate just recently in the commenst section of a friend's blog....
Ctrl C - Ctrl V, does it yet again!
yeh lo.. something nice for u, in case u havent filed the claims till now for the year..
ab to bata do...
:-))
Hell No!!! Those arent fake.. each one of them is a book..am sure :-P
and this year I cant submit claims....and the feeling makes me sad
Arrey flowers ...now these didnt come from a google image search ok.. I clicked each one of em..
Lo,
Aur lo,
Yeh bhi lo... and car ki pic baad mein post karungaa.. filhaal Tram se kaam chalao
silverine: The name "wussies" just brings this picture of a 30-yr old guy lying in a foetal position infront of a matronly figure holding a belan (rolling pin). Don't ask me why!! You're a girl after my own heart!
mind curry: Well, wanting permission because you feel its affectionate and you're home sick is quite acceptable...Maybe Silverine will give you cooking classes :-D Atleast comfort food like good appam will keep you happy. You are hereby absolved of the tag duty. Read your list. Kept nodding along...Burst out laffing with the King Kong concept. Incientally Vaibhav did a synopsis on the movie which had me in splits!
Vaibhav: Ok buddy, you're off the hook too. Please post man !!
Lalit: You know what they say about hell having no fury like a woman scorned :-)))
You're right about the whole changing self bit. I shall definitely try. But changing others...Fogget it...And if you're trying, all the best to you!
Hahaha...steps ahead of u. Already submitted claims for this year. Remember I said bash HR but NEVER ever bash accounts :-))
BTW, something nice for a girl typically includes flowers and/or chocolates. But since its me, flowers and pix of some snazzy European cars ought to do it!
wah ...comments within seconds of each others
Lalit: Thanks for the flowers. What camera was that? Amazing pics I must say.
I'll tell you what.. Next few blogs I shall leave hints, and you have to figure out my name...
What say?
It happens to be my lunch break right now.. wats ur excuse?
My Camera
M up for the challenge.
I take up the gauntlet, my lady.
lalit: End of day. About to leave for home. I have exams this month. One every week for the next 3 weeks. Its the stress I tell you. Well, thats my story and I'm sticking to it.
Watch out for the hints now.
BTW, your camera is very impressive.
Its the stress I tell you
Don't tell me nothing gal... I dont wanna die... :-P lol
All da best with the exams!!
Oh # 3 bugs me like nothing else!
What do you define as special? the last time i thought something that might have been special to a girl, did not really turn out to be that special. at least it did not evoke that squeal of joy that i'd expected. now what might you want?
And about the name. what is in a name anyway? for all that i care i might be called leewithaderfestyankel and you might be called linda. does it make a difference. i'd have probably been as bad if had been called anything else. thats all.
special special special....how can i steal a woman's heart? that eternal question!!!
You write well. Infact u and silverine are the best among female writers I have read (of course sidin rocks and should be first..)..the sense of humour is awesome...Example:
and everything they stand for (or everything that stands for them). That is hardly close to the truth because I quite like men. Infact I like them better than a lot things like bird flu, rodent plague etc...
too good i say....
Vinodh
lalit: Thanks man!
sinosoidally: Me thinks all self-respecting people see red with number 3. Thanks for dropping by!
safari al: Stay tuned for my next post. You may pick up a thing or two about girls :-)) Actually I think Lalit and I are having this lil challenge to guess my name. You just fell in the middle of the cross fire. Sorry about that :-))
gundeep: Thanks for the compliments!! They make my day...Your take on Memoirs had me LMAO. Talk about similarities - the Chairman and Woody Allen!
Vinodh: Thanks man!! Silverine is my fave too...So if you're ranking me with her....that is like the ultimate compliment. Sidin is blogGod for me. Unfortunately this blogGod is taking too many vacations don't you think so??
Ah in the humour dept i feel u are slightly better of than silverine (Just a shade, so don't get too high on that..;) )...
and abt sidin - to think he was my college senior in REC , i should have got him to write all this before and published a book...i would have earned millions....
Keep writing girl..u have one fan...u are a little short on the no: of fans (w.r.t to sidin) but hey u have one atleast...;)
And seriously how long does it take to cook up a post??
Vinodh
PS: Take a look at this..u mite be intersted...
http://blanknoiseproject.blogspot.com
hello ji :) cooking lessons from silverine sounds fun..i attempted making kerala parotta a couple of years ago..it was real fun..esp if you have some friends hanging out with you.
between, what content do you develop?
Is http://blanknoiseproject.blogspot.com so desperate that they have to leave anonymous comments everywhere telling the blogowner that he/she is better off than XYZee?
p.s. we get many such despos who drop Sidin's name like he/she is their old chum or leave anonymous comments on Sidin's blog hoping to drive traffic to their blogs. Pathetic.

hmmm...hey, the film is sad...but u shud try the book...yeah...possibly too much of mystique is built around what is seems to be essentially prostituion to make it seem as if its a higher art form or something...but morality and its dependants aside, the book is quite evocative about the era - much like "An artist of the floating world...
And many thanks for such ideas about getting back at the jerk known as a boss!! Know quite a few people who need this suggestion-why didnt I think o that? ;-)
Wussies...whats new? Just dont choose them...simple,I would have thought...
Ah Mr Kumar,
I dont think they(blanknoiseproject) are desperate for anything...i happened to read it and left a comment here so that more ppl get to know it..
and well about the second part i don't even have a blog..and neways i like the blog and i expressed my comments..u have a problem with that??
"we get many such " - who is the 'we' here??

As a quick update, this is the blank noise project (I am sorry that I did not give the full details):
Blog-a-thon 2006
Marking our one year foray into the blog world, we’ve decided to host a Blog-a-thon on the issue of street harassment. No, you don’t have to run anywhere (thankfully) to participate, you’ve just got to get to your computer this TUESDAY (7th MARCH) and post your thoughts on street harassment/ eve teasing on your blog. You can write about anything related to the topic: testimonies, opinions on harassment, comments about the Blank Noise project, would all be great. It doesn't matter where you're from, where you live, or whether you're a man or a woman - we'd love to have you on board. If you’d like to participate, send an email to blurtblanknoise[AT]gmail.com before the coming Monday (6th March). We’ll add your name and blogsite to the ‘running’ list of participants on the Blank Noise blogsite so that everyone can see what everyone else is writing about the topic. Also, just to get the maximum number of people 'out' for this event - we'd request that you put up a posting on your blog prior to Monday to encourage other people to participate, and to let them know to check your blog on Monday. So join one, join all!
