Enough of the copy-paste already! I have been wanting to write for such a long time here but somehow find no time to do so- You see I am not the type of person who writes a blog post in a word file and then uses it to do another copy-paste here; rather I write here itself from scratch. That poses a problem when it comes to posting regularly...
Quite a lot has happened since I last wrote here, the biggest of course being the re-election of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) to the helm of the Indian Govt. This election was special for me in the sense that I wont have the chance to vote again for another 5-6 years atleast while I spend my time in Houston, Texas. Also for the very first time I voted against what everyone in my family does and actually went against the entire lot this time. Maybe it was the various anti-non hindu incidents here or the extreme hindu following which had a van load of local guys, people I knew from childhood, come to every household demanding they put up a Hindu flag and vote for the BJP. Maybe it was just years of seeing communalism spread all over this beautiful place I call home but I voted for the Congress this time around and I am proud that I did so even if the candidate lost: I made my choice and voted for it.
I was thinking of utilising section 49-0 but I was pretty sure the election committee were blissfully ignorant of it and this would just have kept up proceedings for a long, long time. But I urge every reader here to know that they have the right to appear for voting, take the voting ink on their index finger and then inform the committee that you feel no candidate is worthy of your vote. More info in a simple blog here.
Oh and the IPL just concluded its second season and I just cant keep away from mentioning cricket these days, can I? Well I had been a loyal Royal Challengers, Bangalore supporter from the beginning and all I can say is "Wait for the Champions League, DC fans!" Cricket is grabbing my attention a lot now that its less than 80 days that I go to Baseball/Basketball/Rugby nation.
Speaking of going to the US of A, things are getting heated as I got a lot of things to do: Pay more fees in USD, schedule a Visa interview and hope to clear it, book airline tickets Mangalore-Mumbai and Mumbai-Houston, get all things needed for a 5 year stay, and hope not to have to cook! I hate cooking, surprising given that I actually am a pretty good novice at it but I despise it... The only good thing I can see sportwise is that I will be watching WWE live there :D
Oh I know what you are thinking, and just to make your point clearer I present 7 minutes of the most insane moments in wrestling (Watch in high quality and I dare you not to cringe!):-
