First random ramble

Ah well  I just created this blog because I wanted a place to rant. You see I am a person who does not have much of life. Or rather any life at all. All I ever do is go to college and work with the academics just as much to keep a respectable score and come back home and watch animes and series and dramas online.

Yes yes i do have a lot of friends and I am not a couch potato. I do prefer the outsides to my room but i just don't have the liberty to hang out whenever I want. But does it bother me? Surprisingly no. Ok well more like not really. I am a rather bored person you see. I get bored of things rather easily so I after a point got bored being bothered too.

A few months back i should say about 2 months back I started watching Japanese dramas because I was bored with all the American tv shows I was watching and nothing interesting turned up. And the fact that these dramas were short and I already read mangas and watch animes I took a liking to them pretty quickly.

But what pulled me towards Japanese dramas are the fact that they are just a few episodes long and mostly not made into seasons unlike their American counterparts. It is truly astonishing how long an American teen drama can go on. And Japanese drama have actors who are just as good as the American ones. Yes I do appreciate the acting skills of American actors but not the story line which becomes a drag after a point. But of course I get bored easily.

And the concepts of the east and west are very unlike each other and sometimes very similar. But i must say English sci-fi dramas are way better than Japanese ones. That is a genres is pretty well developed in the west. Of course i am a fan of Doctor who ( yes i know it is a British series and not American :P)

Ok now i am bored of typing. :P
Sometime when i feel like using the key board again I shall write. Ja!

My Mumbai Saga - The First Monsoon

Rains are a blessing. Fresh, soothing and cleansing. That is what you think till you see monsoons in Mumbai. The heat drives you nuts through the summer, June starts, the monsoon sets in and people are overjoyed. Just like I was when it rained on my first day in Mumbai. I was staying over at a friend’s place for the initial period. I step out into their balcony and it had just stopped raining. The air was alive and a sense of relief sat on all things living after the long har sh summer. It seemed like the trees were smiling. Gulmohar trees. If you are from Bangalore you have lived around Gulmohar and Ashoka tress all your life. They spell home wherever you see them. So 1000km away looking out of the balcony, I was home. I never realised, how necessary it was to draw parallels, in order to feel comfortable in a new place. Most of the times these resemblances are only in your head, but help you pull through a lot of things that might have otherwise been alien. I loved the rains for b

Summer Rains

Summer this year has been hot and long with its early arrival. Though summer used to mean fun when we were younger now it just seems like devil's own fire. So as the rains clouds start to appear it seems like the land and all the people heave a sigh of relief. In the world if adults work never ceases. It burns like Summers in the tropics. So if hot weather is added to this people feel hopeless and too tied for life. A lot of holiday escapes run in their heads but to where they can't run away to. And if they do manage to run away coming back makes them more depressed as they relive those few days of peace.  So when do you think peace actually arrives? I would say it arrives with the summer showers. The little blessing that is thrown at us when everything seems dry. They bring hope and much needed humidity. They cleanse your soul deep with in and prepare you for the soon arriving monsoon. This period I think is the time that is given to us to get ready for a different ki

My Mumbai Saga - A new job

The various experiences we have in life, shape us and let us grow. Major source of these are the changes that occur or we create in our lives. Adulthood with its responsibilities becomes a burden to enforce change too often but in the early 20s when you are just being learning to be a mature person, you can go ahead experiment and make some probably risky transitions. So even though my life was quite stable with a healthy mix of work and play, I decided it was time to move forward and switch jobs. In today’s fast changing world a job switch is not a major phenomenon. Not a lot of people in the IT industry stick around too long in the same company. Even the most mediocre of talent have a pool of options. But your first job change is a feat like no other. When you sit at a lunch table and hear about how a peer has so many offers, you tend to think, it must be piece of cake. You are all fired up and you decide to take the plunge. When that happened the first thing I did was start
