Public Transport From Hell

Autos. How does this word make you feel? Does it make you feel like clawing somebody's eyes out or just clawing at anything? Then you know what I am talking about. What was Volkswagen thinking when they said "Das Auto"? In India! They just probably travel in their little fancy cars or large fancy cars never having known the Indian auto. I know I am babbling(read the title of the blog guys!)

God, they are the epitome of annoying! They should all be banished to Tartarus, only fit place for them. Autos I mean.
I know I said I wasn't making a list but this isn't just a list.
It's a HATE list.

Top 5 WORST things about autos-

5. The way they take speed-breakers. Bumpity Bumpity bump bump. I can practically feel stuff rattling around inside me.

4.They will either take you round and round in circles or say that they know the way and then ask you for directions. If not either of these, the meter will be tweaked. This will probably happen in a completely unfamiliar city. Result-daylight robbery.

3. When you say where you want to go, they grimace and shake their heads and drive off into the sunset. Why? I am not asking you for a loan or something, buddy. Paying you aren't I? I don't want to go to the bloody moon!

2.The way they find excuses to make you pay more. "It's raining" or "It's night" or "You won't get any other autos" or "I'm an asshole". Oops. That was mine. :-/

1. Attitude. Oh my God. And how much! This guy was so rude to me because I didn't have change...He was all "Oh you should have asked if I have change or not before getting in, Go and get change"
Me:"Where am I supposed to go and get change ??"
Auto-jerk(raising his voice, if you please)" I don't know all that! Otherwise, give me the 100 bucks and go"
Me:!!!!!!!
No way was I paying him 70 bucks extra. So I went to the petrol bunk and got change. Bugger.
Somehow I calmly paid him(relatively calmly) and didn't throw the money in his face. We virgos are known for suppressing our feelings.:P

Yes , I suppose there are some decent auto guys but mostly only in Mumbai. Generally, they just piss me off. Like, so bad. Wait, I already said that didn't I?
Okay, I'm going to stop now. Blogging is really therapeutic. Take all the anger and turn it into words I say and er post it on a public forum anonymously:P That's the ticket.

Good night y'all.

The Lister is back!(no I do not care if that's not a word)

I cannot believe that in the entire 6 month existence of this blog, I have not made a single list. Hell, I love lists! Kind of. :P

We'll take it from the bottom, my faithful fan following already knows number one!

5. James McAvoy-Kinda dorky in Wanted but in Becoming Jane and Penelope...Whooaa! I cannot believe this guy was Mr.Tumnus.
4.Patrick Swayze- Only in Dirty Dancing...but mostly because I haven't seen other movies of his. Such an amazing dancer. RIP Patrick.
3.Ryan Reynolds-Eeeep! Oh the sarcastic comments! :D
2.Chace Crawford. You make Gossip Girl worth watching and er 'dating' a married woman not seem slutty!
1.Ian Somerhalder-Have you seen The Vampire Diaries??? No? Then you will not understand.Orr you might...Just look at him!

Okay I've been wanting to do that for a long time. I feel much better now.I have this weird feeling I missed someone out though. Oh well, he'll understand. :P

So damn random

I'm sure all of us, at one point or another, have mulled over the extreme complexity of life. When we were little, things were simple, like, dislike(kinda like facebook :P), do, don't do, listen to parents, don't listen, tell the truth, lie and so on. Then the inevitable happens- You grow up. You read stuff, you experience stuff, you meet complex characters, the world isn't black and white anymore. It's like this messy, abstract painting with the random spots of bright color representing happy times with people you love. Gradually, your perspective changes, what seemed horrifying before doesn't seem so bad now. You're old enough to start fighting your childhood fears, you're old enough to hide stuff from your parents without feeling guilty, you're old enough to realise that people are flawed. Life is pretty short and we all want to get it right, because hello, we only live once. Wait, what I'm saying here is that we'll probably never understand the complexity of life, the irony of fate, the selfishness of human beings, why things don't happen when we so badly want them to, why one has to go down to go up(seriously, what is up with that?), whether fate really controls us, whether karma will catch up to us....I mean, who knows?

I think there are hardly any boundaries left these days. Nobody defines any, who even started it? The thing is boundaries, though limiting and prehistoric, make things feel simpler and safer. Remember those days when we had 'best friends' and used to literally declare it? "Oh, she's my best friend". Now we have a bunch of close friends who are probably close friends with another bunch of people, you don't really talk about how close you are. When we were kids, friendships were simple. Now you find yourself wondering, we were so tight, how did we drift apart? Should I call? Maybe they don't want to talk, what would they think? When did things become so complicated?? Even with romance, the more books I read, the more movies I watch, the more convinced I am that there's something we don't know. What if love doesn't exist? What if, in the end, everyone just succumbs to attraction and you know gets married because everyone around them is doing it? And, then they just either have affairs or carry on with life because they're too lazy to change anything? Happiness after all is transient. The happy life people refer to is just a term for peace and satisfaction. You can have that without being truly happy, you know, if there's something you know you're missing out on.
Oh, heck what am I going on about?Noone is going to get this!!I'm reading too many sordid books. I just read one where this girl says yes to a proposal from another guy even though she doesn't love him because he's good and makes her feel safe and crap n then realises she's really in love with her sister's husband whom her sister has just walked out on and probably has been for years! Wait, before the boring guy, she had an affair with a very much married man(to his college sweetheart,no less) and she basically liked the boring guy because he made her feel good. In the end, they get together(duh- ex-husband of sister guy and our heroine), of course,(I don't read books with sad endings) apparently he's loved her for years too. Yeesh. That was just disturbing. And yet one finds oneself rooting for just the kind of character we love to hate in chick-lits and one sees things from her point of view- hell, things are complicated, no black and white, everybody has a side, a reason, and a not-so-insane-sounding explanation. Who am I kidding? Crazy book! Stupid love is so complicated(Not that I have much experience but what I do have is plenty of time for brooding). Some people just chase after it all their lives and some people just don't bother. Maybe the latter are happier, they have no expectations after all.
Life gets complicated when you expect things.

I think I just aged like, 30 years.


In my defense, I did title it the disconnected ramblings.


p.s.- All movie and book ramblings from now on only on my page(tell me a story).

p.p.s. I probably shouldn't publish this but I'll go ahead anyway because that's what a blog is all about.

Good night y'all
